Processes have to remember certain CPU registers.
Processes have to remember certain CPU registers. :crazy:Why dont we put them in
a table just like memory or I/O information for OS to handle?:confused:
Re: Processes have to remember certain CPU registers.
In fact we do! When a process is started a process owns all user level registers and changes their contents all the time.
When the operating system changes a running process to an other (context switch), user registers are saved by operating system to a memory area controlled only by the operating system (as PCB, process control block). OS returns the values when we start the original process again.
Some architectures support saving registers by HW to memory when a special instruction is executed (Intel 386 saved registers to TSS (Task State Segment), but this is not currently used (?) for ex. with new Linux kernel and Intel processor even newest processors are still capable to do that).
If the question means that we give up registers and use only RAM, it is not good (fast) enough and possible. In fact some older processor architectures supported instructions "memory to memory" as
"Move a memory location x contents to a memory location y".
Even then we need some registers inside the processor as the instruction for ex. must be fetched to be executed.

Beauty is more than skin-deep
Posted on June 20, 2009
Of course Wheaton's web renovation is more than just a new look. It's also about making our website work harder for us.
Our consultant team visits a lot of college campuses. After spending time at Wheaton, they told us that they were struck by the strong sense of community here, and the genuine, friendly and helpful people they met.
They also noted that the website wasn't doing a good job of reflecting those characteristics.
One goal of this renovation is to better meet needs of prospective students, faculty, staff and donors. We believe that "capturing more of Wheaton" in our site, including the friendly and helpful nature of our community, will create a more effective and engaging site for "prospectives" AND a more useful tool for everyone who lives and works here right now.

Good work!
HealthyLongevity said:
Here's the real problem. You are throwing studies at a group that proved paleo (Primal Blueprint) works one person at a time. N=1 trumps all the studies.Even if you do not particularly like the wording of my post, I highly recommend taking a look at the references. I have cited dozens of relevant studies that all too often go ignored.
I could find dozens of studies on any health subject, and quickly find dozens more to dispute those claims. When thousands of people try it for themselves and it works, studies are mostly meaningless.
I, for instance, six years ago at age 42, had fatty liver disease, high bp, high cholesterol, high trigs, gout, and high a1c/FBG. 2 years of advice to eat healthy whole grains, lean chicken, and exercise more did absolutely nothing for me--except ensure my prescription of statins would never end.
After 6 months of Mark Sisson's Primal Blueprint, I was off all meds, all markers were normal, fatty liver cured, gout never returned. My LDL is still a bit high which worries my doctor, but not me!
Good work!
Healthy Longevity:
How about this -- in 1999, I got really interested in veganism. I spent a year researching veganism and it's relevant science, and then took the plunge. During my time as a vegan, I went soy free (since I was soy sensitive), and moved towards a mostly raw diet.
In 2001, my husband discovered the Weston A Price Foundation. There is a *lot* of science there, including science about soy, which is one of the reasons I decided not to eat it except for traditionally processed stuff, which I picked up from a local asian market that was owned by an "auntie" of mine (it's amazing the people who take you under their wing when you just ask nice questions) and didn't eat often anyway. My husband went WAPF diet, but since we didn't bake the breads, it was more like a paleo version.
In 2005-6, I became increasingly unhealthy with very low cholesterol. After running down many avenues (vegan), I ultimately decided to add in animal products (eggs, dairy). I used dairy sparingly because I'm sensitive to dairy.
In 2010, my husband developed a gut issue with our move to a more damp location. His naturopath recommended that he go grain-free. That's when we discovered paleo. Before making the switch, we did *a lot* ofnutritional research -- something that we enjoy doing.
The PB also includes scientific resources to support it's assertions.
The reason that I write all of this is because there is an underlying assumption that anyone who is living different from you and/or disagrees with your argument is either A. uneducated in general, or B. unwilling to read your research and/or hasn't read that research (or similar) before.
The reality is that I -- and many people like me -- are very interested in health and well being and do a lot of reading on the subject, including reading scientific studies *themselves* not just articles that reference scientific studies. We learn how to read them, what "red flags" to look for in terms of good/viable studies, and so on.
Many of us have been vegan or vegetarian for a time, and some of us have even been raw foodists.
And yet, in the end, we end up over here, getting articles like "for your consideration!" as if we haven't considered this information and it'll blow our minds, and then "you obviously didn't read" or "please take my references seriously" -- as if we didn't or don't do these things in general.
the truth is, that's insulting.
Yeah, I had a doctorate level nutrition course with instructor who was essentially a vegetarian/vegan proponent. To his credit he always advised a piece of meat about the size of a deck of cards each week to avoid deficiencies associated with such a diet. Point being I've seen all the "science" you could possibly imagine to promote such a lifestyle. I've tried it myself. I later researched, as zoe did, WAPF, paleo, and finally ended up with Primal.... which I would define as Paleo + WAPF - Grains and Legumes = Primal All that it comes down to is at this point and time Primal, in my opinion, offers the best evidence both biochemically as laid out by laz, and ancestrally as laid out by.... well everyone. And its absolutely what I feel best on. So I think I'll keep it up, and I know I will continue feeding my kids this way.
Your comments are typical of the type of criticism I often receive – demanding references without providing any for your many claims.
First of all I do not agree with the term the "Asian Paradox"- this was Sisson's term. This suggests that many culture outside of Asia have not traditionally thrived on carbohydrate rich diets which is certainly not the case. The findings from the China Study and dietary habits during WWII are not the only or even the primary lines of evidence for the conclusions I have made. I am under the impression that you are trying to downplay my posts by suggesting that I did not cite these other lines of evidence, such as the findings from hundreds of randomized controlled trials.
Many of your statements are oversimplifications, such as the assertion that adding modest amounts of sugar to a starchy diet causing metabolic havoc. As I pointed out in my post, the Bedouins ate a starchy diet (from full-grain wheat) with modest to high amounts of added sugar and many of the females were not active, yet virtually the entire population was very lean and free of diabetes.
The Kuna Indians from Panama who also consume a starchy diet that is relatively rich in fruit and added sugar have also been observed to by quite slim.
Hypertension, the Kuna, and the epide... [J Cardiovasc Pharmacol. 2006] - PubMed - NCBI
Kempner's rice-fruit diet which was based on rice, fruit, fruit juice and sugar resulted in weight loss in most patients.
In the Women's Health Initiative the control group who were advised to lower fat intake significantly increased the intake of sugar and showed trends towards lower body weight and waist circumference. If anything there was a slight trend towards a lower risk of diabetes in the control group.
Low-fat dietary pattern and lipoprotein risk factors: the Women's Health Initiative Dietary Modification Trial
Of course this is not to suggest that sugar is a health food, but does cast doubt on the suggestion that a starchy diet with small to modest amounts of added sugar will necessarily result in metabolic havoc even when caloric balance is maintained.
The association between LDL cholesterol and coronary heart disease cannot simply be explained as an innocent bystander of metabolic syndrome. Our current understanding of this topic is not simply based on cohort studies as you seem to be implying. Randomized controlled trials and mendelian randomization studies have clearly demonstrated that the association is causal. See references no. 24-30 in my post for references.
As I stated:
"A meta-analysis of 108 lipid intervention trials with a mean follow-up of only three years found that for each 10 mg/dl (0.26 mmol/l) reduction in LDL cholesterol, coronary heart disease mortality and all-cause mortality decreased by 7.2% and 4.4% respectively, independent of HDL cholesterol, triglycerides and non-lipid effects of specific interventions.27 Comparatively, a meta-analysis of mendelian randomization studies with over 312,000 individuals found that inheriting any of nine studied genetic variants that modify LDL cholesterol concentrations predicted a 54.5% lower risk of coronary heart disease for each 39 mg/dl (1 mmol/l) reduction in LDL cholesterol maintained over the period of a lifetime, independent of other major risk factors."
You have seen many studies that show high cholesterol to be good? Did these studies control for reverse causation and regression dilution bias? It wouldn't be all difficult to cite studies suggesting certain benefits of smoking- just look up the work of Weston A. Price Foundation honorary member William Douglas, aka Doctor Tobacco who seems to think that smoking is the best thing since sliced bread.
N=1 trumps all the studies? Is this some sort of joke? It appears that some people here are trying to extrapolate simply feeling healthy at the moment to long-term health. If studies are of little importance how is one able to tell whether a certain way of living will not increase the risk of cancer which can take many decades to develop? This just seems like wishful thinking.

I'm so confused as to your motives here HL....
I had never even heard of "the diet doctor" till you made a post, so I find nothing of use in you refuting something I haven't even based any decisions on. As to Denise.... again, not where I garner my info, although I at least recognize this person.
So you are what? Whats the point of your little escapade into Primal territory? To expose the evils of eating in a way that is sustainable, consistent with ancestral health, and seems to lead to better lab markers and a general feeling of well being?
I can remember Jaminet stating in his book that the 2006 Nurse's Health Study showed that although the "heart healthy" higher carb and lower fat group smoked less and exercised more their chance of heart attack was still 42% higher than that of the lower carbohydrate group for instance.
Most round here subscribe to the quality of carbs arbument though, so maybe your fighting your own shadow?
And as to your recent studies.... what are you trying to prove?
Hypertension, the Kuna, and the epide... [J Cardiovasc Pharmacol. 2006] - PubMed - NCBI .... so "The Kuna in Ailigandi reported consuming a 10-fold higher amount of cocoa-containing beverages, 4 times the amount of fish, and twice the amount of fruit".... So eat A LOT more cocoa, a great deal more fish, and a bit more fruit is the conclusion? Oooooooookay
Next we have a study from 1950 that I'd rather not take the time to read as much has been done since then.
Well best of luck to you in your fruitarian experiments .
Healthy Longevity, the blog, is quite a testament to veganism. The blog on eggs was pure gold! Cracking Down on Eggs and Cholesterol | Healthy Longevity Thanks for telling me that cholesterol in eggs will clog my arteries!
The other day, I was at the drive-thru of McDonald's when a whole caravan of Bedouins came through, there wasn't an apple pie left when they were done! But, boy were they lean and fit! Oh, wait--Bedouins don't normally eat western crap food. They must have been Kunas (or maybe Inuits) hard to tell.
So far as I can tell, Healthy Longevity, the person, simply has a gripe against meat-eaters and is taking it out on Mark Sisson. Even Mark will admit that a vegan lifestyle can be very healthy and has good instructions on how to pull it off: My Escape from Vegan Island | Mark's Daily Apple If I remember right, his wife and a kid or two are vegan.
So, what's the point? A vegan diet with enough protein is probably healthy, same as following Primal Blueprint, when they have one thing in common: near complete avoidance of refined sugar, grain, and vegetable oil.
If eating primal is going to kill me, at least I'll die looking sexy, feeling great, and having tons of energy. I never knew killing myself slowly would feel so good.
Just think I could be eating a healthy vegetarian diet again while suffering from chronic pain and fatigue, being over weight, feeling absolutely horrible. Gosh, I'm so misguided. Why did I ever start eating primal?! *rolls eyes*

Rise in depression rates 'linked with money worries'
Money worries caused by the current unstable economic climate are associated with a rise in depression levels in the UK, new research has suggested.
Data obtained by the BBC showed prescriptions for anti-depressant medication - such as Prozac - have risen by more than 40 per cent over the past four years.
Charities and GPs also revealed they have witnessed an increase in the number of individuals contacting them with regards to concerns over job security and debt.
Dr Clare Gerada, head of the Royal College of GPs, said it is expected that mental health problems will worsen during times of economic hardship, adding: "They feel guilty that they can't provide for their family and these things can often act as a trigger for depression."
Last month, behavioural change specialist Seven Suphi claimed males are more likely to suffer from mental health problems as a result of the recession, as the impact of the downturn on job opportunities in traditionally male industries will affect a man's perception of his identity.
Professor Peter Kinderman, Chartered Psychologist and Chair of the British Psychological Society's Division of Clinical Psychology, said: "The sharp increase in antidepressant prescription discovered by the BBC was predicted - the British Psychological Society Division of Clinical Psychology and many others warned that economic recession was likely to impact on people's mental health. The increase itself, as others have commented, probably reflects a greater ability on the part of GPs to recognise mental health problems and a greater desire for members of the public to receive some help. So it's good that people are seeking help, it's good that professionals are recognising their distress and good that they are being offered help."
"But it also seems most likely that economic and social problems are responsible for an increase in mental health problems - and indeed most likely that social factors are behind most mental health problems in general. So psychologists, in particular, argue that people need to talk - we argue for greater access to evidence-based psychological therapies. Antidepressants may have their role, but a pill for economic recession seems odd."
"And, at a time of great uncertainly in the NHS, fears over whether the new commissioning scheme will be capable of responding adequately to mental health needs, and social pressures, the British Psychological Society Division of Clinical Psychology renews its call for sustained investment in mental health services, a greater investment evidence-based psychological therapies, and a coherent psychosocial focus to mental health care."

Quebec's rental board has released its rent increase suggestions for 2014.
For apartment where the tenants pay for their heat, the suggested increase is 0.8 per cent.
The suggested increase is 0.6 per cent for those apartments heated by fuel oil, and 1.1 per cent for electricity or gas-heated apartments.
The board says those guidelines don't take into account specific features of each building, and says operating expenses for a building may justify something different from these numbers.

"There is a time that everything must come to an end for certain people on camera," quipped TV legend Regis Philbin, 79, as he announced his retirement from "Live with Regis and Kelly" on Tuesday. "Especially certain old people!"
Something tells us "Live" won't have any problems finding a Regis replacement.
The Hollywood Reporter says that Larry King (who just retired from his show on CNN) would love to take on some of Philbin's duties after he retires this summer.
"I would sit in for him for a few weeks," the 77 year-old King said. "I would get a kick out of that," he said. "He's a special guy... We're going to miss him."
"Extra" reports that ABC is interested in making a blockbuster deal to get "American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest, since his TV contracts will be up for the first time in years. They also claim the network may be interested in Neil Patrick Harris and "Survivor" host Jeff Probst
"I think I can only speak for all of America and all of us here, it has been a pleasure and a privilege and a dream come true, and I wish I could do something to make you change your mind," co-host Kelly Ripa said on the air when she heard the news.


text: New Delhi: The second round of the 2012-13 Ranji Trophy season gets underway across the country on Friday, after an engaging first round of matches in which there were five outright wins and gripping, hard-fought draws at Indore and Nadaun. Round two sees three additional teams open their campaigns â Goa, Maharashtra and Saurashtra. Hereâs a look at the Group C matches starting November 9. Jharkhand v Assam at Jamshedpur: Perhaps not many would have tipped this as the key encounter of Group C before the season, but after round one it has shaped into one. Both Jharkhand and Assam are level on seven points after outright wins over Jammu & Kashmir and Tripura respectively, and at the Keenan Stadium the two teams will be out for leverage at the top. Jharkhandâs innings-and-31-run win in Jammu was in equal parts carried by the batsmen and bowlers. Skipper Shahbaz Nadeem took three wickets in J&Kâs first-innings of 195, well supported by Shankar Rao; Rameez Nemat, Saurabh Tiwary and Shiv Gautam then scored half-centuries as the first-innings lead was secured; and then Nadeem snared 6 for 54 to seal victory. It is on the shoulders of Nadeem and Tiwary that much of Jharkhandâs success this season rests, but getting consistency from Nemat, Gautam and Rao will also be crucial. Assam, led by former Maharashtra batsman Dheeraj Jadhav, wonât be pushovers like J&K. Assam are coming off a ten-wicket win fashioned by Jadhavâs 243, the second-highest score in their history, and fine bowling from the quarter of Abu Nechim, Arup Das, Arlen Kanwar and J Syed Mohammad. Jadhav has proven the bedrock of Assamâs batting in his three years with then, and has made a strong start to his fourth. The addition of Mohammad, a left-arm spinner from Tamil Nadu who gained prominence with his performances for IPL franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore a couple seasons ago, could also prove huge for Assam. He marked his first-class debut with 89 off 170 balls and four wickets in Tripuraâs second innings. Jharkhand: Shahbaz Nadeem (capt), Manish Vardhan, Deepak Chougule, Kumar Deobrat, Shiv Gautam (wk), Sunny Gupta, Amir Hashmi, Ishank Jaggi, Jaskaran Singh, Rameez Nemat, Samar Quadri, Shankar Rao, Rahul Shukla, Saurabh Tiwary, Ajay YadavAssam: Dheeraj Jadhav (capt), Pritam Debnath, Abu Nechim, Arup Das, Pallavkumar Das, Deepak Gohain, Dhiraj Goswami, Arlen Konwar, Rajdeep Das (wk), Sibsankar Roy, Gokul Sharma, Amit Sinha, J Syed Mohammad, Tarjinder Singh, Hokaito ZhimomiHimachal Pradesh v Services at Nadaun: Having failed to close out a win when it appeared imminent on the final day against Kerala, Himachal Pradesh will need to be better against a side that claimed three points from its rain-hit season opener. Services were the better side in Anantapur, taking the first-innings lead from Andhra, but know fully well that Aakash Chopraâs team wonât be so meek. Despite a lead of over 300 against Kerala, Himachal failed to win in round one as a fine century from Rohan Prem earned the visitors a draw and denied the home team four points on an engaging final day. The bowling will have to be better for Himachal, but there are few concerns where the batting is concerned. Paras Dogra, Amit Kumar and Rishi Dhawan all scored centuries in a total of 536 for 6, and comfort in the high altitude of Nadaun gives Himachal the advantage. If Chopra scores runs, the hosts will be even tougher to beat. In the rain-interrupted match Anantapur, Services took the first-innings lead and with it three points by bowling Andhra out for 251. However, their batting was not convincing. The top five contributed just 62 runs and it needed dogged application from Rajat Paliwal, Sarabjit Singh and Muzzaffaruddin Khalid to help revive Services from 73 for 5. A brisk unbeaten 56 from Shabad Nazar took the first-innings total from 201 for 8 to 297. The veteran batsman Yashpal Singh and the top order will have to step up against Himachal. With the ball, Services appear too reliant on Nazar and Suraj Yadav. Against strong Himachal batting line-up, the visitors have their task cut out.SquadsHimachal Pradesh: Aakash Chopra (capt), Sumeet Verma, Amit Kumar, Aatish Bhalaik (wk), Prashant Chopra, Rishi Dhawan, Paras Dogra, Chandrasekar Ganapathy, Gurvinder Singh, Hemanth Kumar, Vikramjeet Malik, Jitender Mehta, Mohinder Sharma, Mukesh Sharma, Sangram Singh, Varun SharmaServices: Soomik Chatarjee (capt), Penta Rao, Pratik Desai, Ansuhl Gupta, Shakti Malviya, Muzzaffaruddin Khalid, Shadab Nazar, Nishan Singh, Rajat Paliwal, Sarabjit Singh, Avishek Sinha, Soumyaranjan Swain, Nakul Verma, Suraj Yadav, Yashpal SinghAndhra v Tripura at Anantapur: Weather-permitting, there should more to gain for both teams. Andhra took one point from their draw against Services, whereas Tripura are in dire need of a boost after being hammered by Assam.Andhraâs only innings in round one saw the hosts make 251, which was possible thanks to an eighth-wicket stand of 65 between K Sahabuddin (78*) and Vamshi Krishna and 31 for the final wicket. Hemal Watekar, captain AG Pradeep and domestic giant Amol Muzumdar will have to click if Andhra hold aspirations of progressing up the points table. Tripura can take some solace from a second-innings fightback from 93 for 6 to 366 against Assam, led by their new captain Ajay Ratra. The former India wicketkeeperâs 124 and admirable work from the lower order averted an innings defeat, and the contributions from the lower order will also serve as some sort of confidence for Tripura. Their bowling, however, looks decidedly reliant on Timir Chanda whose five-wicket haul was the plus point in round one. Tushar Saha did well to trigger a collapse that saw Assam lose their last five wickets for 30 runs to be bowled out for 450, but Tripura cannot allow teams to score over 400 every time. SquadsAndhra AG Pradeep (capt), Bodapati Sumanth, Tekkami Atchuta Rao, Bandaru Ayyappa, Shaik Basha, Bharat Reddy, Gonnabattula Chiranjeevi, Amol Muzumdar, Rajesh Pawar, Prasanth Kumar, Syed Sahabuddin, Duvvarapu Shivkumar, Vamsi Krishna (wk), Paidikalva Vijaykumar, Hemal WatekarTripura: Ajay Ratra (capt/wk), Manisankar Murasingh, Abbas Ali, Kaushal Acharjee, Timir Chanda, Debabrata Chowdhury, Abhijit Dey, Rajib Datta, Sanjay Majumder, Udit Patel, Rana Dutta, Rajib Saha, Tushar Saha, Samrat Singha, Subhrajit RoyGoa v Jammu & Kashmir at Porvorim: After finishing the 2011-12 Ranji Trophy season at third place in their group, Goa begin their current campaign buoyant with the inclusion of Manvinder Bisla. The former Himachal Pradesh and Haryana wicketkeeper-batsman made a name for himself after winning the Man-of-the-Match award for Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL 5 final, and now finds himself with his fourth Ranji Trophy team. A domestic journeyman, Bisla will form the fulcrum of Goaâs batting with the likes of Reagan Pinto, Sher Yadav and Robin DâSouza expected to take shape. Pinto, 21, was the teamâs leading run-getter last season with 272 and with Yadav, who followed third with 225, will be required to do better if Goa aim to make the knockout round. Amit Yadav, who scored 259 runs and topped Goaâs wickets list with 21 in 2011-12, has not found a place in the squad. That makes the job tougher for medium-pacer Saurabh Bandekar, one of the brightest talents Goa have. Bandekar and DâSouza took 16 wickets apiece last season and need to begin the season on a strong note. J&Kâs defeat in round one was because their batsmen failed to deliver.

MOBILE, Alabama – Prosecutors have asked for permission to allow testimony from a pair of children who accuse a relative of molesting them to come from an investigator, if necessary.
Mobile County Assistant District Attorney Nicki Patterson said such requests standard for cases involving victims younger than 12. The law carves out an exception to the rule prohibiting hearsay testimony if the child is unable to testify because he or she cannot remember the incident or if a therapist concludes that testifying would be detrimental to the victim's mental health.
In those causes, law enforcement investigators are allowed to tell jurors what the children told them.
Patterson said she intends to put both children on the witness stand to testify against Jacob Joseph Johansen but wants to preserve the hearsay option in case unforeseen problems arise.
The issue came up briefly at a status hearing today before Mobile County Presiding Circuit Judge Charles Graddick. The judge said it was not a decision he had to make until closer to the trial, scheduled for Feb. 25.
Defense attorney Rick Yelverton said he would oppose any effort to prevent the children from testifying.
"The oldest principle in the law is the right to confront your accuser," he said.
Johansen, 24, faces 16 criminal counts, alleging first-degree rape, first-degree sodomy and sexual abuse of a child under the age of 12. Patterson said the molestation occurred over a two-year period in two difference houses.
Patterson said authorities launched an investigation after the boy's school reported in January of last year that a teacher had observed him acting in an inappropriate sexual manner.Follow Brendan Kirby on Twitter: Follow @BrendanKKirby

A leading head teacher who is leaving the state sector has called for Michael Gove to stop micromanaging schools and criticised the illusion of freedom given to academies.
Melvyn Roffe, the headmaster of Wymondham College, a state boarding school in Norfolk, will become head of an independent school in Scotland this autumn.
His state school, which charges fees for the cost of boarding, became an academy during his eight-year tenure but he said that, in doing so, it lost freedoms and became more bound by rules and regulations.
Mr Roffe, who is a former chairman of the Boarding Schools' Association,

Trends in mortality associated with diabetes mellitus (DM) are unclear. Thomas et al analyzed population-based data from Rochester, Minn, to address this issue. The authors found that the percentage of 10 152 Rochester decedents who had DM increased by 48% between 1970 and 1994 and that mortality rates declined less dramatically for persons with DM (14%) than for persons without DM (21%). This increase in the mortality burden associated with DM is probably due to previously reported increases in DM incidence and to the smaller declines in mortality the authors observed for persons with DM relative to those without DM. These results highlight the need for effective DM prevention and treatment efforts.
Using computerized medical encounter data, Yood and colleagues studied 8865 members of a large health maintenance organization 50 years or older who underwent a polypectomy from January 1, 1989, through December 31, 1999. About 50% of these patients were found to have recurrent polyps in the years following their initial polypectomy. However, only 52% of patients with initial polypectomies underwent additional colon screening during the study follow-up period. Among those who underwent additional screening, 50% were found to have a recurrent polyp detected within 3.9 years. These results suggest that in real-world clinical practice, there is a high risk of recurrence and low rate of additional screening, which may increase the risk of undetected recurrent polyps.
Factors associated with an increased risk of developing coronary heart disease (CHD) tend to cluster in individuals and are referred to as the metabolic syndrome. To evaluate the prevalence and demographic lifestyle factors associated with the metabolic syndrome in a representative sample of US adults, data were evaluated from adults participating in the NHANES III conducted between 1988 and 1994. The metabolic syndrome was present in 22.8% and 22.6% of US men and women, respectively. The age-specific prevalence was highest in Mexican Americans and lowest in black Americans of both sexes. The metabolic syndrome prevalence increased with body mass index (Figure). Older age, postmenopausal status, Mexican American ethnicity, higher body mass index, current smoking, low household income, high carbohydrate intake, no alcohol consumption, and physical inactivity were associated with increased odds of the metabolic syndrome. The metabolic syndrome is present in over 20% of the adult US population; varies substantially by ethnicity even after adjusting for body mass index, age, socioeconomic status, and other predictor variable, and other predictor variables; and is associated with several potentially modifiable lifestyle factors. Identification and clinical management of this high-risk group is an important aspect of CHD prevention.
Matetzky et al describe the clinical courses of 24 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–infected patients with acute myocardial infarction. The patients were young (47 ± 9 years) and had a high prevalence of 3-vessel disease (76%). Their lipid profile was similar to the age- and sex-matched non-HIV–infected patients with acute myocardial infarction, irrespective of treatment with protease inhibitors. Their in-hospital course was relatively benign: none died and 83% had revascularization procedure before discharge. During the 14 ± 8 months of follow-up, the HIV-infected patients had a high rate of reinfarction and rehospitalization for recurrent coronary event, 20% and 45%, respectively.

A PAW'd effort, The Calling comes in two flayours, 48K on one side of the tape and 128K on t'other. The story is that your car breaks down while you're on your way home one night, and being a gentleman and taking into account there's a thunderstorm outside, you send your girl-friend to phone for help from a nearby house. Two hours later you decide you'd better go looking for her. Not only are you ill-mannered, you're a bit slow on the uptake too!
But better late than never, and into the house you go. You soon find a diary belonging to Professor Quinn, whose house it is, and you read an entry where he refers to the possibility of making contact with the Netherworld. Your own nether regions turn to tapioca pudding, when you read that he needs a suitable female for the transferrence machine.
I started this game, as I often do first time round, without making a map and one hour later I quit with a score of 70 per cent, feeling sure that if I bothered to map and make notes I'd crack the thing next session. Good for beginners then, but not much trouble here for you seasoned adventurers.
The game isn't too bad, it didn't make me switch off in utter boredom, but a bit more care's needed in coping wi'h PAW's parser.

Degree reviews
"Students will really appreciate the networks that exist in London, and the opportunities that arise from them. I am interested in how tropical cyclones (such as hurricanes and typhoons) are included in climate models. It is through changes in extreme weather that I feel the impacts of climate change will be most visible in the coming century."

A fire destroyed a Saline Township home Monday afternoon, officials said.
Firefighters responded to the 4000 block of Hack Road after a man reported smoke coming from a neighboring home at about 1:30 p.m., Saline Area Fire Chief Craig Hoeft said. No one was home at the time.
The ranch-style home was engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived and was deemed a total loss.
The Washtenaw County Chapter of the American Red Cross is assisting the residents with housing and other immediate needs, Hoeft said.
Firefighters from Milan, Pittsfield and Ridgeway (Lenawee County) townships assisted at the scene.

A prologue
Today, I use Sublime Text 2 for just about all my text editing needs. It is fast and fairly stable. It is customizable and it can use plugins from Textmate. It also allows me to have split windows and its concept for finding files, methods, and editor actions make me a productive developer.
Over the years, I've used a myriad of text editors. Most of my time has been spent in Vim. My fingers are so used to Vim's modal editing, I tend to expect the world to move up or down when I press j or k. Every time I've tried out new editors, I've always missed h/j/k/l. Sublime Text 2′s Vintage editing mode satisfies most of my modal editing needs. All the important commands are there, and new ones are added as users request them.
One big issue I've had with editors that can be extended by code, is that the language used for extension isn't very friendly. I'm not well versed in Lisp, but I can get around. Emac's ability to be customized is unsurpassed, but personally I don't feel that I need a complex environment with an editor as a bonus. Most times I just want to create text. On the other hand, Emac's Org Mode is unsurpassed, so I do find myself wishing that it existed in other places with the same amount of functionality as the the original.
Vim's vimscript is more than functional. It can be used to create some truly useful plugins. Tim Pope has proven this time and time again. The problem with vimscript is that is really only useful inside of vim. Vim also allows you to extend it using other languages, such as Python and Ruby, but I haven't explored either of those enough to comment on them.
I tried Sublime Text 2 as a diversion from my normal editor, MacVim. I'd been hearing many things about it, so I wanted to try it out. It passed the 5 minute red face test with ease, so I decided to use it exclusively for a two week period. That was over a month ago, and now I've purchased it as well.
Why have I stayed in Sublime Text 2 for so long?
The obvious first response to this question is because it isn't bad on the eyes. I like soft pastel colors on a dark background, and I wasn't disappointed with what I saw.
I learned a long time ago that the keyboard is the fastest way to navigate, so I require my editing environment to be fully driven by the keyboard. Finding files is as simple as pressing ⌘P (I use a Mac) and typing a combination of the path and the file name. The interface is fuzzy, so you don't need to type all the characters to find things in a hurry.
There are also ways to find methods/functions in your current file and run commands quickly as well.
You didn't have to read this blog post to see those in action. You could have went to Sublime Text's home page to see them detailed. I want to share why I'm not moving away from this editor in the foreseeable future.
As I said before, I don't like to use the mouse. I avoid it to the point of shedding a single silent tear every time I have to use it. Keyboard navigation in ST2 (as I will refer to it from now on) is more than sufficient. You can create files and move between buffers with keystrokes. I can even bring up a Quake style console to see editor output, and show off my elite Python skills if I need to.
As we all know, all problems in computer science have already been solved. (At least that's what I like to think) Sometimes we need to look to past to solve the problems in front of us. Looking to the past, we find Textmate's snippet and theming system. Instead of creating yet a new format, ST2 allows you to import Textmate bundles. Problem solved.
You'd be mistaken if you thought that ST2 was just a new skinned Textmate, however. ST2 brings its own configuration to the table as well. It isn't strictly a Mac style preference dialog, but it's JSON back configuration is pretty easy to learn.
ST2′s plugins are all written in Python. Python isn't too hard to learn if you programmed in any other C style language, and there are already plenty of plugin samples to base your new code off of. The plugins have access to basics, like your where your caret is, what lines you have highlighted, and the details about the current files. Plenty of people have written plugins to extend ST2 to their liking.
I'm currently following the Dev releases of ST2. What this means that I get new and fixed editor functionality a couple times of week. In the past month of using ST2, I've seen improvements to editor stability and new features. It's like Christmas for my editor twice a week.
I'm sure at this point (if they've made it this far), that all the emacs and vim people are shaking their heads. Those editors do all this and more. If you are shaking your head, you are missing the point. There is plenty of room for improvement and usability. ST2 is just another attempt at finding that sweet spot. Usage of any editor is not an admission of disdain for any other environment. My vim code folding screencast is still the most popular post on this site. I'm happy to have found something to give me the energy to write blog posts again.
So, now I've been using this editor for a while now, and now it is time to make it mine. Stay tuned for part two of this series where I share how I've molded the editor to match my coding style.

When you're ranked No. 5 in the state and already have a playoff berth in the bag, finding incentive for the remainder of the regular season could be viewed as a challenge.
By posting a 22-3-1 record and an 8-0 mark in District 3-4A, the Randall Raiders haven't fallen into complacency. They clinched a playoff spot by beating Dumas, 14-3, in a five-inning 10-run mercy rule victory Tuesday.
H.S. Baseball
Now Randall must find sufficient motivation for the final four games of the regular season, starting with today's 5 p.m. district game at Caprock (11-17, 2-6). Not only that, but the Raiders have to avoid overlooking their next two district opponents prior to next week's game against Canyon (20-3, 7-1), which also has clinched a playoff berth from 3-4A.
Randall serves as a target for the rest of the district teams seeking to claim the two remaining playoff spots, so the Raiders are subject to postseason style intensity for the remainder of the season. Coach Cory Hamilton thinks that should benefit his team.
"We just want to keep our approach the same and focus on the process," Hamilton said. "We need to stay humble and break it down inning by inning."
Breaking it down inning by inning might be how Hamilton chooses to use his pitchers today. While senior left-hander Jeremi Moreno is established as the team's ace, the Raiders haven't settled on a No. 2 pitcher, and it's likely that Hamilton will use several arms today against Caprock.
Where there's no doubt over Randall's ability is at the plate. The Raiders have scored in double digits in all but one district game and have invoked the 10-run mercy rule in all but two games.
One of those games was a 10-8 win over Dumas in the first meeting of the season. In the second meeting, there wasn't any suspense, as Dex Kjerstad drove in five runs to lead Randall's attack.
"After the performance we had last time, we really didn't show (Dumas) who we were," said Kjerstad, who leads the Raiders with a .538 batting average, eight home runs and 44 RBIs. "But we felt we did that this time."
What everybody definitely knows about the Raiders now is that they are a playoff team. All they have to do is keep showing it.
Who Else Is In: Outside of District 3-4A, only one other Panhandle team clinched a playoff spot this past week. Clarendon stayed unbeaten atop District 7-1A by beating Wellington to move to 8-0 in district and punch a ticket to the playoffs.
The most intriguing matchup Saturday might be in District 2-2A, with Tulia (12-7, 6-1 in district) hosting Floydada (10-9, 7-0) at 1 p.m. in a showdown for the district lead. Floydada has already clinched a playoff spot. Tulia would clinch a postseason berth with a win.
Because only three teams are in District 1-2A (Bushland, River Road and Sanford-Fritch), the entire district goes to the playoffs, with the regular season only determining seeding.
Holding Steady: Panhandle teams retained the status quo in the Texas High School Baseball Coaches Association polls released Thursday. Randall stayed at No. 5 in Class 4A. Bushland (19-2, 3-0 in district) remained at No. 7 in 2A.

text: One of the most distinctive sounds of Gagaku is the strong nasal tone of the hichiriki. This is the most widely used of all instruments in Gagaku and is used in all forms of music aside from poetry recitation. It is said that the sound of the hichiriki expresses the voice of people living close to the earth. Often the main melody of a Gagaku piece is carried by the hichiriki, but the range of the instrument is only about one octave, so a very rich range of embellishment techniques developed. For example, there is the technique called "enbai." The double reed for the hichiriki is very large so that even with the same fingering, just by altering the pressure on the reed a range of three pitches or so can be reached and a kind of portamento can be created.

Every Thursday, Dixie Brandt can be found bustling around her little shop, arranging her grocery and pharmacy items while she talks and laughs with fellow shop owners and customers.
A petite woman with a warm demeanor, she seems to be constantly - and happily - busy.
Brandt, who has worked as a lunch monitor at the Jersey Shore Elementary School for many years, is known in the community for a lot of things - her dedication to students, her love of the Green Bay Packers and her help with local cheerleading and sports teams.

ERICA MOTTER/ Sun-Gazette Correspondent
Above, Dixie Brandt, of Jersey Shore, stands in her store at the Sale Barn. Brandt is known in the community for many things, including being an "extreme couponer."
In recent years, she's also come to be known for something else - her couponing.
Brandt, an "extreme couponer," uses her coupons not only to save money on her own groceries, but also to buy excess items to sell at her shop at the Antes Fort Farmer's Market, known locally as the Sale Barn.
As a result of tougher economic times, extreme couponing has become a money-saving trend over the past few years, given plenty of attention through television shows and news articles.
Brandt, however, has been couponing since 1981.
"I was pregnant and I had to find something to keep myself busy, so I started to do couponing and refunding," Brandt said.
At the time, Brandt just focused on couponing for herself and her family.
She had four children, so the coupons helped her stretch money further.
Since then, Brandt has turned her couponing into a second job. She spends at least 20 hours a week gathering coupons, figuring out the best deals, shopping and getting her items ready to sell.
"It's a lot of work," Brandt said. "You have to go through all the flyers - CVS, Rite Aid, Giant and Weis are my four. Then, you have to compare prices with coupons and come up with the best deals."
Every Monday, Brandt does the bulk of her shopping, which can take up to five hours. She organizes her coupons in alphabetized shoeboxes and satchels: one for food, one for non-food grocery items, one for pet products and one for medicines.
Usually, Brandt ends up saving about half the cost of all the items that she buys and keeps very little for herself. Most of the items go to her store or are kept in her garage as stock.
Although she said she makes a profit from her couponing, for Brandt, it's really more of a hobby. "I can't go buy a Corvette or something," she laughed.
She enjoys the adrenaline rush that comes from getting deals.
"I love it - it's a challenge," she said. "Sunday morning I get up and rush out to the mailbox."
But even more than the excitement of saving money, Brandt coupons because she loves people.
Although Brandt has lived in Jersey Shore for 47 years, she has met many new people that she never would have met before through her couponing and her shop. She loves working at her shop in the Sale Barn, because it lets her spend all day talking to people, and lets her see students from school during the summer.
"We're like a big happy family here," she said.
Unlike depictions on television of extreme couponers that make them look greedy or cheap, Brandt is the opposite - she frequently uses her couponing to help others. She gives a lot of her items to family and friends, and even gives away some of her coupons.
"If I'm in the store and I see someone buying something I always share coupons with them, always," Brandt said. In spite of all the work required, she plans to keep couponing and re-selling items for many years to come.
"I don't think I'll get bored, because I would have to get bored with people," she said. Brandt can be found in her shop at the Sale Barn from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. every Thursday.

SP rolls out maiden list of LS candidates
By Subhash Mishra - LUCKNOW
Published: 17th November 2012 09:59 AM
Last Updated: 17th November 2012 09:59 AM
In a lightning fast move which has given it a head start, the Samajwadi Party released its first list of 55 candidates for the 2014 Lok Sabha polls.
Expectedly, the candidates' list is dominated by the party's first family headed by SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav, with no less than four of his kin making it to the list.
Besides, the relatives of other SP leaders as well as a few criminals make up the remainder of the candidates. The list also includes the name of Devendra Singh Yadav, who is the father-in-law of the CM's special secretary, Pandhari Yadav.
Meanwhile, the SP is likely to field Mulayam's youngest son, Prateek Yadav from Azamgarh. In terms of the caste equations, the SP's top brass had apparently decided to play to the party's strengths by fielding as many as 20 OBC candidates. Belying expectations, Muslim candidates did not get a big share of the tickets as was widely expected. However, there has been just a sprinkling of the caste Hindus. Despite the Yadav's family's pre-eminent position on the state's political landscape, this is for the first time that four of its members are contesting the Parliamentary elections. Interestingly, the issue of dynasty politics is not relevant to the SP anymore even though it waged a campaign against "pariwarwad" (dynastic rule ) in the Congress at the beginning!
Significantly, the SP list reveals the party's changed approach towards the Congress. In fact, the SP has decided against fielding a candidate in Rae Bareli and the neighbouring Amethi constituency which are represented by Congress supremo Sonia Gandhi her son and political heir Rahul Gandhi respectively.
Also, the ruling party has fielded lightweights like Anand Bhaduaria in the Dhaurahara seat against Union Minister of State for HRD Jitin Prasada and mafioso- turned-politician Arun Shankar Shukla against Congress' Annu Tandon in Unnao. Annu, who is perceived as close to industrialist Mukesh Ambani, is expected to have a cakewalk as Shukla alias Anna Maharaj had miserably lost from the constituency in 2009 after contesting on a BSP ticket.

London is the most ethnically diverse city in the UK. Census 2001 population figures suggest that around 40% of Londoners belong to a
black or minority ethnic group. The importance of health for Black and Minority ethnic populations in London has been identified as a key
priority for the London Health Strategy and London Health Commission.
By nearly all measures of health, the health of the UK's minority ethnic populations is poorer than that of the majority White British population.
Ethnicity is a socially-constructed concept including elements of culture, place of birth and skin colour, and there is no
adequate measure of it. For example, the experience of people in the same group may vary by generation,
experience of migration or sub-group within the group.
Not recording ethnicity because it is difficult is not an option. It is important for organisations to be accountable in the
way they deal with all communities, and that is only possible if we know about measures of health determinants, service use and
health outcome by ethnic group.
Ethnicity was first measured in the 1991 census, and the measure was improved for the 2001 census.
Categories are self-assigned. The 16 and 5 Ethnic Categories in the 2001 Census (England and Wales) are:
White British
White Irish
White Other*
Mixed White and Black Caribbean
Mixed White and Black African
Mixed White and Asian
Mixed Other*
Asian Other*
Black Caribbean
Black or Black British: African
Black African
Black Other*
Other Ethnic Group*
Note* These were open response categories on the Census form.
The 2001 census categories are used by most public sector organisations. The more that organisations adopt the same measure,
the easier it will be to track whether ethnic minorities are equitably served.
Back to top ^^
Ethnicity is one factor on the spectrum of inequality. Some inequalities constitute inequity, that is, they are unfair and not accounted for by a difference in need.
Inequality can be found in:
These factors combine to create inequalities in:
Genetic factors also make some contribution to ethnic health inequalities, for a few specific conditions such as diabetes and stroke.
In many measures of health and its determinants, the experience of some ethnic minority groups is unfavourable compared to
that of the majority White British ethnic group. Even where inequalities in health status are not present, there is evidence
of inequity in access to health care and preventive services. For example, there is little difference in cancer incidence
between ethnic groups and yet there can be a poor experience of health services for some groups. Assessing equity of
access to NHS stop smoking services for instance is made more difficult by lack of data on ethnicity of clients.
For London to be able to tackle inequality between ethnic groups, there needs to be
intelligence in all of these areas, and on the links between them.
The Acheson Report on inequalities in health (1998) set the framework for health inequalities policy, and recommended that
inequalities in health by ethnicity were best tackled through policies to address wider determinants of health, and that all policies
should be assessed for their impact on minority ethnic groups.
Under the Race Relations (Amendment) Act 2002, public authorities including the NHS must assess how policies and programmes can affect ethnic
minorities, and take remedial action where any potential for "adverse differential impact" on ethnic minority communities is identified.
They have a general duty to promote race equality, and must be proactive in avoiding discrimination before it occurs. The most recent
Department of Health response covering health and social care is the Department of Health Race Equality Scheme 2005-2008. Although all
organisations should have their own schemes, the Healthcare Commission found that over 20% of trusts had not published a race equality
scheme by 2007. In the delivery of services there is emphasis on mental health services (which have their own action plan) and
screening and organ donation services. A review of PCT schemes by the Kings Fund (2007) found that policies were inadequate in
number and content.
The Employment Equality (Religion or Belief) Regulations 2003 protect against discrimination on the grounds of religion and belief in
employment, vocational training, promotion and working conditions.
The Equality Act 2006 establishes a single Commission for Equality and Human Rights that replaced the Commission for Racial Equality,
the Equal Opportunities Commission and the Disability Rights Commission, to enforce equality legislation including that relating to
race, religion or belief. It introduced a positive duty on public sector bodies to promote equality of opportunity and protect
access discrimination on the grounds of religion or belief in terms of access to good facilities and services.
The government's policy on inequalities in health, Tackling Health Inequalities: a Programme for Action (2003) and the accompanying
guide to interventions Tackling Health Inequalities: What Works (2005) emphasise the need for local focus on minority ethnic groups in
implementation of the strategy, and highlight the need to address ethnic inequity in infant mortality rates.
The policy for health and social care services in the community Our Health Our Care Our Say (2006) recognises the failings in
existing community-based services in serving minority ethnic communities, and singles out a particular need to address the
accessibility and delivery of child and adolescent mental health services (CAHMS).
London's diversity
LHO holds datasets on the distribution of London's population, and those of the boroughs, by ethnic minority and religion.
LHO is co-ordinating a campaign for recording ethnicity at birth and death registration, in order to address inequality by ethnicity
more effectively. It has been working with organisations to fill numerous weaknesses in the data available for addressing ethnic
inequity and inequality through the Ethnic Health Intelligence Programme.
Social and economic environment and lifestyle
There is particular inequity in the provision of mental health services for adolescents and adults by ethnicity,
and a London Health Observatory report, Equal Access, Equal Care addresses this issue. LHO also hosts resources on
inequalities and mental health.
The LHO has developed a toolkit to support NHS organisations in analysis of ethnic differences in health.
Routine information on several services where inequity by ethnicity has been found is weak, including:
Information on different level of need by ethnicity is needed to plan services. Some are collected for the LHO's Ethnic Health Intelligence Programme.

It was mixed results for Rutherford County baseball teams during opening day of the 2014 TSSAA Spring Fling in Murfreesboro.
In Class AA, Central Magnet hung on to defeat Ripley, 4-3, while Riverdale lost in first Class AAA game 10-1 to Ravenwood. Both teams will be in action Wednesday hoping to stay alive in the double elimination tournament.
CMS opened up tournament play at Blackman against Ripley as they held on for a 4-3 victory. Coming into the bottom of the seventh, Ripley was down 4-1. However, they added two runs during their last at-bat to close the gap. CMS starting pitcher Austin Worley closed the door as he struck out the final two Ripley batters to give CMS the win.
"One win right here is huge," Worley said. "Two years in a row we come in and get the first win, and hopefully this time we will be able to keep going and go all the way to the state championship game."
The Tigers jumped on the board early with two runs in the top of the first. CMS got on the board when senior first baseman Alex Ropp singled to score junior right fielder McKenzie Jackson, and sophomore shortstop Darak Sargent came home on bunt single by second baseman Reed Sullivan.
After Ripley added a run in the bottom of the second, CMS scored twice in the top of the third to make the score 4-1. Sullivan doubled to score Sargent and centerfielder Josh Green hit a sac fly to score courtesy runner Spencer Hiland.
The Tigers will play at 12:30 p.m. in the winner's bracket against Christian Academy of Knoxville at Blackman.
For Riverdale, it was a tough way to begin the Class AAA tournament with a 10-1 loss to Ravenwood. The Warriors were dominated in all phases of the game.
The Raptors jumped on Vanderbilt signee and RHS starter Collin Snider with four runs in the top of the second and six runs in the bottom of the fifth to break the game wide open. Snider was chased out of the game during the six-run inning by Ravenwood.
"We just got to forget the game," Riverdale head coach Barry Messer said. "That was uncharacteristic I feel like all the way up and down. Those games happen, and we just got to come back (today)."
The Warriors will face Cookeville in a loser's bracket game at 10 am at Siegel.
