is it possible
Comments (8)
Sure you could still be pregnant. The brown spotting could be IB which means you could get your + test in 2-4 days. You're not out until AF arrives! GL!

do you think it could be implantation even if we bd on he 15th? I feel like that was so long ago.
That was the last time you BD? Do you do anything to confirm if or when you O?
Implantation can occur as late as 14 DPO. Sperm can live for 3-5 days in a good environment. So if you BD on 9/15 but didn't O until say 9/20 then that would make you 14 DPO today. So yes, it could be possible that you're pregnant!

Estate Law
Estate Law Questions? Ask an Estate Lawyer.
just need to clarify. My mother owned the house. The deed is a right to survivorship deed naming my sister and I as the as you say joint tenants. Just to be sure I have it right.
One last question an by the way you are excellent. Why is the estate attorney hired by my sister coming to court and presenting the house as a part of my mother's estate. This is what s confusing me so much despite my knowledge of right to survivorship deeds. thanks again and this is my last question.

Just three days ago I had to hand back in the magic key fob to the luxurious Cadillac XRS I had rented tens days before from Sixt. My daughter and I had picked up this sleek SUV from the Sixt location in San Francisco and used it to tour three national parks in just six days. Both my daughter and I were sad to leave the car at the LAX Sixt return facility because it was such a pleasure to drive the car. It was also a very pleasant experience working with the excellent Sixt employees at both SFO and LAX.
I had the distinct pleasure to meet and be taught by Dr. Kenneth Caster at the University of Cincinnati (UC) between 1972 and 1974. He's one of a small handful of college professors that left an indelible imprint in my brain, fortunately for the better.
Ignore all the blank space just below. It resembles a part of my brain that's been permanently injured for all the hours looking at the circle diagrams of the wretched Modern Math!

ALTENMARKT-ZAUCHENSEE, Austria -- Marie-Michele Gagnon of Canada won a women's World Cup super-combined event Sunday for her maiden victory.
It was the first win for a Canadian woman in a combined event at the World Cup level since 1984.
Gagnon was 1.37 seconds off the lead after the super-G portion earlier Sunday, but posted the second-fastest time in the slalom run to finish in an aggregate 2 minutes, 5.55 seconds.
Michaela Kirchgasser of Austria finished 0.32 back in second, and Maria Hoefl-Riesch of Germany trailed by 0.39 in third.
Nicole Hosp of Austria, who led the competition after the super-G, finished fourth.
Hoefl-Riesch regained the lead in the overall standings over Austria's Anna Fenninger, who finished eighth.

Reform and Representation: A New Method Applied to Recent Electoral Changes

Can electoral reforms such as an independent redistricting commission and the top-two primary create conditions that lead to better legislative representation? We explore this question by presenting a new method for measuring a key indicator of representation – the congruence between a legislator's ideological position and the average position of her district's voters. Our novel approach combines two methods: the joint classification of voters and political candidates on the same ideological scale, along with multilevel regression and post-stratification to estimate the position of the average voter across many districts in multiple elections. After validating our approach, we use it to study the recent impact of reforms in California, showing that they did not bring their hoped-for effects.

To the editor:
Last week in a public hearing council member Gina Bauman called my family, my beliefs and politics "just wrong". More than once. Bauman publicly dismissed her neighbor's animals and pets as "impossible". More than once. She has stated "I have always not wanted chickens in New Brighton". More than once.
To the editor:
The anonymously authored New Brighton anti-chicken flyer (the author was too 'chicken' to sign his/her name), filled with half-truths and innuendos, might be 'correct' from Council member Bauman's perspective, but it is misleading. Could Council member Bauman have been complicit in authorship of the flyer? She seemed very supportive of its anonymous author/authors and stated "I have always not wanted chickens in New Brighton".
To the editor:
Regarding the Chicken Fiasco, I don't have chickens, I don't know anyone who does. However, I'm very disappointed in the course of events this week.
Very near my home, I know of 3 residents who have chickens. I only know this because someone identified them, not because I hear them, see them or smell them.
My point is: What harm is there in these residents keeping a few chickens if I don't even know of their existence?
It's often said that the government which governs best, governs the least. I subscribe to that sentiment. I also believe that we can't pass laws/ordinances against every annoyance.
The bridge over County Rd E and Snelling is being torn down, which is causing a great deal of trouble getting to and from Mounds View High School.
Words cannot express the deep appreciation we feel for the honor and respect shown our dad, brother, and uncle, Rudy Zehnle, at his recent passing. It was amazing and heart-warming to see the admiration for his 20+ years of service on the New Brighton Volunteer Fire Department.
Do you know where your trash goes?
We all know that our recycling goes to Eureka Recycling where it is sorted into various kinds of materials and made ready for further processing for reuse.
Almost everyone pays into Social Security during their working lives. These are taxes taken from wages so we can redeem it upon retirement.
This week Representative Mike Frieberg responded to the devastating measles outbreak in California, which has now spread to Minnesota, by introducing a bill that requires parents to consult with a medical professional before they can opt out of vaccinating their child.
To the editor:
Over the past few months, I have read several editorials submitted by members of one special interest group that has been pushing Roseville to institute Government Managed Garbage Hauling.

The last week of my basic dyeing for quilters is a test, in a sense, of what we have learned about mixing dyes. We are to pick a photo that is a color inspiration for us and then determine what the colors are. I used Photoshop Elements to help with the process. I have always loved the colors in this photo that I took on a trip to Seattle. I love the colors of this outdoor furniture display.
Here are the colors that I pulled out.
Now, I have to go through my stash of hand-dyes to see what matches I have. Then, I will mix up some dyes and try to match the rest. I think this is going to be fun.
I had a busy few days and now I am paying for it. On Friday, my iPad died and then came back to life, but it has been working very slowly and has given me lots of problems. We went to the Apple store and I bought a new one. Wow, what a difference. I love the retina display and of course it is very zippy.
On Friday night, we went to a fun Mardi Gras cabaret at Trinity which was a fund raiser for the choir's trip to England and France next year. They did an array of fun show tunes.
Last night, we went to the symphony and I did too much walking and am paying for it today. I can barely move, again. I only had a slight meltdown and I enjoyed watching the superbowl and especially the half-time show. And, I am getting closer to the fix for my knee.

Dyeing – Week 2Monday, January 18th, 2016
This week, we are doing gradations of the primaries – sun yellow, fuchsia and turquoise. I did a full 8 gradation of yellow because I use it quite a bit. I only did 3 gradations of the fuchsia and turquoise.
I used plastic baggies for these.
I also did a blue gradation using Elizabeth's divisive method: which involves beginning with all the concentrate at once, and then gradually reducing the amount of dye concentrate you pour over the fabric. These are still needing soda ash.
Tomorrow, I will do the high water version to get a solid color – you can add salt to the water to help the process.
I broke down and bought a small fridge on Amazon. It arrived packed in 3 boxes and some stryrofoam. It was a comedy of errors watching us unpack it. I need to keep my dye concentrates cold and since I turn up the heat in the studio to batch my dyes, it was a necessity!
I also finished the brown sweater set for my hair stylist's baby boy, who is a red head.
I am Dyeing to Show YouThursday, January 14th, 2016
I think I mentioned that I am taking Elizabeth Barton's online Basic dyeing class. Her method is new to me. You mix up a lot of dye concentrate to have on hand — we have done 6 colors. The soda ash is not added until the fabric has been in the dye for at least 30 minutes and you can wait until the next day. So, this week we mixed up our concentrates and then did a gray to black gradation. I think I like this method of having dye concentrate on hand, but I have to refrigerate it so I have ordered a cute little desk top fridge for my studio.
Here is my fabric batching:
And here are my results. It is so hard to get grays and blacks that do not have purple or blue casts to them.
I also would like to get more even coloring and not have the mottled effect – things to work on.
The other thing that has kept me busy is purchasing a new car. Mr C and I have made lots of changes in our life to bring down the cost of living on the planet to have more discretionary income in our retirement. Getting the Prius was part of that, but to be honest, we never fell in love with the Prius, for many reasons. So it is leaving us and we now have a beautiful small Class C Mercedes Benz. It was a loaner at the dealership and has very few miles on it and all the bells and whistles. We just love driving it.
We decided we needed just one little splurge.
We also got a new mattress hoping it would help my sleep problems caused by my bum knees. I found this duvet cover which I love. It is reversible. Really looks great and suits our design aesthetic.
Living Life in the Fast LaneThursday, September 24th, 2015
It has been one of those weeks. I am working on a new landscape quilt whenever I can fit it in. I had a wellness check with my doctor on Monday and lunch with Lisa and Clay. On Tuesday, I had a meeting at Trinity to make plans for out multi-generational classes for this coming year. Yesterday, I spent the morning at the Expo Center hanging the new Oregon SAQA exhibit. That is Kristin LaFlamme in the first photo, hanging my Ode to a Tree Quilt.
Today, I spent most of the day at the show, looking at quilts, shopping and working at the guild booth. The guild has an exhibit titled a river runs through it. I have two quilts in the show. Here are a couple by Terry Grant and I, hanging together. These quilts have been out an about before, but fit the theme. I was disappointed with how this show was hung.
Here is my old friend, Meander, in the show.
Here are the results of my retail therapy:
Some lovely hand dyed cottons from my friend Maureen from California. These will fill in some holes in my stash.
This is a fat quarter bundle of Marcia Derse designed fabrics. She creates one of a kind prints and then they are reproduced as a fabric line by her. Love these colors.
This is a blurry photo of the landscape quilt I am working on.
Here is the zigzag free motion stitching that I have done.
I think I will do some hand stitching. I found some perle cotton at the show and also some teal thread for the sky.
My Sky Blue Pink quilt made it to New York and has a spot on the exhibit postcard.
Tomorrow, I will be hanging out at home, waiting for my new iPhone and quilting the landscape.
Master Class UpdateMonday, January 19th, 2015
I decided to do the one color value study of the leave photo. Here is the mockup from the sketch. I need to get it quilted and finished by the end of the month. It is 12 x 12 so I think that is doable.
I tried to work on this here at home in my multi-purpose room, but I have way too many things going on here and I work better at a higher table like I have at the studio. I have been avoiding the studio. It is such a mess, but I went there today and I got this done and I feel energized and ready to clean house, er studio, and get on with my creative life.
I pulled out these sort of icky yellow green pieces, but truth be told, I love working with colors like these.
The looked like a good enough value change to do what I wanted to do.
I started cutting leaves and laying out my piece.
Here is the mock up that I sent to EB.
I felt the lightest value was to light and was not working in the composition. EB agreed. I was following the values in the sketch. I used some color pencil on the light yellow/green and used it in smaller pieces in the central area of the piece. That is what is up at the top of the page.
I spent the week-end doing SDA work and living on Aleve. I was in serious pain after working on the studio at Trinity! I did get my hair cut and the color freshened on Friday and also saw the eye Dr. I went in because I lost my red glasses in San Francisco and needed to get new ones. I am glad I went in as I had a big change in my prescription. I have been having headaches and irritated eyes of late. Here are the two new frames I selected.
Can't wait for them to come in next week.

Here are some observations and ruminations about Sunday night's Eagles-Cowboys game:
ARLINGTON, Texas - Bryce Brown's rushing has been a revelation the last two games, but some of the credit for all those yards has to go to the Eagles' offensive line.
The addition of Jake Scott seems to have made a big difference. With the veteran in at right guard instead of Danny Watkins, the unit has opened some mammoth-sized holes for Brown. And the rookie running back has wasted little time hitting them.
With offensive-line coach Howard Mudd confirming last week that he will retire at the end of the season, it will be interesting to see if the Eagles get a replacement that will keep the blocking schemes that are tailor-made for Scott, guard Evan Mathis, and injured center Jason Kelce.

Mammut made the majority of the Convey with Gore-Tex's Paclite 2.5-layer fabric for increased packability that doesn't hinder its waterproof, breathable protection. Gore-Tex three-layer fabrics cover more exposed areas for enhanced waterproofing. Fully taped seams prevent raindrops and snowflakes from seeping through.
Mammut also equipped the Convey with full-length side zippers for easy on-and-off, even with boots on. The side zippers are two-way to double as ventilated slits when you work up a sweat. Adjustments at the hem and each cuff offer a secure fit, and reinforcements at the knee, edge, and seat ensure durability. The zippered pocket at the leg is perfectly sized for a map.

mammut pants
- Size Bought: m
ran way too small then when tried to exchange was told i would have to pay for a newer model at $80 more
Nice pant, but strange waist adjustment
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: Runs large
- Size Bought: L
I bought these for winter back packing and mountaineering in the north east. I first bought the size large (under the advice of customer service with the assumption they would fit well over layers) but when they came, they were too big. The waist does have adjustable cinches that took the waist down so it fit, BUT, the adjustment straps are on the inside of the waist band so the excess waist band just bows out (ended up bowing out over an inch from my hip on each side). I then ordered a size medium, and they were barely any smaller and did not work either while wearing thin tights underneath, or with thick fleece pants. for what its worth, I am a 32 waist. I ended up returning both and bought arc'terex beta ar pants which were perfect.
the picture makes the pants look black and grey, but they are more black and green (I ordered black/graphite). that being said, they are a very attractive pant, the green with the red logos is very sharp

Oxidative damage plays an important role in leading to major health-related events. The aim of this study was to assess the predictive value of a lipoprotein peroxidation marker, oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) for incident mobility limitation (ML).
Data are from 2985 well-functioning elders enrolled in the Health ABC study (median follow-up, 4.1 years). All oxLDL levels were measured at the baseline assessment. The oxLDL/LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) ratio (log value) was used as a measure of lipoprotein peroxidation. Mobility limitation was defined by 2 consecutive semiannual reports of any difficulty either walking 1/4 mile or climbing up 10 steps without resting. Severe ML was defined by 2 consecutive reports of great difficulty or inability to do the same tasks. Cox proportional hazards models were performed to assess hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
The mean (SD) age of the sample was 74.2 (2.9) years. After adjustment for potential confounders (sociodemographic factors, smoking, physical activity, body mass index, clinical conditions, biological markers, and medications), the relationship between the oxLDL/LDL-C ratio and disability events was statistically significant (per log-unit difference in the oxLDL/LDL-C ratio) (for ML: HR, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.06-1.41; for severe ML: HR, 1.43; 95% CI, 1.15-1.79). Consistent results were found when interleukin 6 level was included as a covariate in the adjusted models (ML: HR, 1.13; 95% CI, 0.98-1.31; severe ML: HR, 1.31; 95% CI, 1.05-1.64). No significant sex, race, interleukin 6 level, or clinical conditions interaction was found with the oxLDL/LDL-C ratio and mobility disability.
Lipoprotein peroxidation predicts the onset of ML in older persons. The oxLDL predictive value for ML is partly explained by interleukin 6 levels.
Fifty years ago, Harman1 posited the "free radical theory" of aging, suggesting that endogenous oxygen radicals generated during normal cellular processes lead to an accumulation of oxidative damage.2 Free radicals, defined as "any species capable of independent existence that contains one or more unpaired electrons,"3 are able to disrupt the equilibrium of biological systems by damaging their major constituent molecules.4,5 The oxidative damage due to the excess of free radicals is thought to play an important role in leading to major health-related events such as mobility limitation, disability, and mortality. Current evidence also suggests the existence of a strong relationship between oxidative damage and inflammation as promoters of pathophysiologic changes occurring with aging.2,6,7
Oxidized low-density lipoproteins (oxLDLs) represent a commonly used marker of oxidative damage and have been shown to play a major role in atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease.8,9 Furthermore, oxLDLs are not only implicated in the early development of atherosclerosis but also in late clinical manifestations by inducing inflammation and endothelial dysfunction.10
Inflammation represents a well-established risk factor for major health-related events in older persons, including physical disability.11 Mobility limitation is a common early stage of the disablement process. It predicts major physical disability12 and mortality,13 and it is associated with poor quality of life12,14 and with substantial social and health care costs.15
In the present study, we examine the hypothesis that oxidative damage, as measured by the level of lipoprotein peroxidation, predicts new mobility disability events in a large sample of community-dwelling and well-functioning older persons. We also explore whether the predictive value of lipoprotein peroxidation is independent of levels of interleukin 6 (IL-6), a marker of inflammation.
The present study uses data from the Health ABC study,16 a 10-year prospective cohort study investigating the impact of changes in body composition and health conditions on physiologic and functional status at increased age. Participants (n = 3075) aged 70 to 79 years were recruited from April 1997 through June 1998 from a list of Medicare beneficiaries residing in the areas surrounding Pittsburgh, Pa, and Memphis, Tenn. Eligibility criteria included (1) no self-reported difficulty walking 1/4 mile, climbing 10 steps, or performing basic activities of daily living, (2) no life-threatening illness, (3) no plans to leave the area for 3 years, and (4) no participation in a lifestyle intervention trial.
The present study is based on 2985 participants after 90 participants were excluded for missing data on oxLDL levels or outcome event variables. All participants provided written informed consent. The institutional review boards of the clinical sites approved the study protocol.
Levels of oxLDL were obtained from frozen stored plasma collected by venipuncture after an overnight fast at the baseline visit. Blood samples were obtained in the morning, and after processing the specimens were aliquoted into cryovials and frozen at −70°C. Plasma levels of oxLDL were measured using a monoclonal antibody(4E6)–based competition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The high specificity of this assay has previously been described.8 The interassay coefficient of variation of oxLDL is 12%. Because the level of oxLDL is strongly correlated with that of its substrate (r = 0.519), the ratio (per mille [‰]) between oxLDLs and LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) levels (oxLDL/LDL-C ratio)17 has been used in the present analyses.
All of the Health ABC study participants had annual clinical visits and interim 6-month telephone contacts during which health status was assessed and information on interim hospitalizations and major outpatient procedures was collected. If participants were unable to come to the clinic, a home visit was performed, with a reduced set of key measures from the clinic visit, or a phone interview was conducted with the participant or a proxy. For the present study, we considered the following mobility outcomes:
Mobility limitation, defined by 2 consecutive semiannual reports of any difficulty either walking 1/4 mile or climbing up 10 steps without resting; and
Severe mobility limitation, defined by 2 consecutive reports of great difficulty or inability to walk 1/4 mile or to climb up 10 steps without resting.
Covariates included sociodemographic variables (age, sex, race, and study site), clinical conditions (presence of coronary heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, osteoarthritis, peripheral artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, depression, and pulmonary disease as defined by algorithms identified by the clinical investigators in the study18), and physical and biological parameters, including smoking status, body mass index (BMI, calculated as weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters), physical activity (calculated using the Harvard Alumni study19- 22 algorithm based on walking and exercise expenditure in kilocalories per week), and measurements for total cholesterol, creatinine, albumin, fasting glucose, and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). Total cholesterol, creatinine, and albumin values were determined by a colorimetric technique on a Vitros 950 analyzer (Johnson & Johnson, New Brunswick, NJ). Levels of LDL-C were calculated by the equation described by Friedewald et al.23 Fasting glucose levels were measured using an automated glucose oxidase reaction (YSI 2300 Glucose Analyzer; YSI, Yellow Springs, Ohio). Levels of HbA1c were measured by a fully automated analyzer (Variant; Bio-Rad Laboratories Inc, Hercules, Calif) using the principle of ion exchange high-performance liquid chromatography. Medications taken in the past 2 weeks were brought in, recorded, and coded according to the Iowa Drug Information System. Using this system, participants using nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, and statins were identified.
Increased IL-6 level was considered an additional potential explanatory covariate in the adjusted models to evaluate whether inflammation was able to explain the association between oxLDL levels and the onset of (severe) mobility limitation events. It has been demonstrated that increased level of IL-6, a multifunctional cytokine and a marker of the geriatric syndrome of frailty,24 can be used to predict incident physical disability in older persons.11,25,26 Levels of IL-6 were measured in duplicate by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, Minn). The detectable limit for IL-6 (HS600 Quantikine kit; R&D Systems) was 0.10 pg/mL. Blind duplicate analyses (n = 150) for IL-6 level showed interassay coefficients of variation of 10.3%. Circulating IL-6 levels obtained from 1 time point have been shown to be reproducible and representative over extended time periods.27
Given the nonnormal distribution of oxLDL, the oxLDL/LDL-C ratio, and IL-6, these biomarker levels were log-transformed to ensure equality of variances and to make the errors approximately normally distributed. Pearson correlation analyses were performed between oxLDL (log value), the oxLDL/LDL-C ratio (log value), and IL-6 (log value). Kaplan-Meier survival analyses were performed to evaluate the onset of (severe) mobility limitation events according to the oxLDL/LDL-C ratio tertiles. Unadjusted and adjusted Cox proportional hazard models were performed to evaluate the predictive value of the oxLDL/LDL-C ratio for incident mobility disability events. Sex, race, and clinical condition interactions between the oxLDL/LDL-C ratio and mobility disability were evaluated adding the interaction term to the fully-adjusted models. High levels of IL-6 and high oxLDL/LDL-C ratios were defined as the highest IL-6 and oxLDL/LDL-C ratio tertiles.
The main characteristics of the sample population (n = 2985) are reported in Table 1. The mean (SD) age of the sample population was 74.2 (2.9) years. Prevalences of women and white patients were 51.6% and 58.1%, respectively. During the follow-up (median, 4.1 years), 1231 (41.2%) and 527 (17.7%) participants reported onset of mobility limitation and severe mobility limitation events, respectively.
Pearson correlation analyses showed statistically significant correlations of oxLDL with IL-6 (all log values; r = 0.072; P = .001), oxLDL/LDL-C ratio with IL-6 (all log values; r = 0.140; P<.001), and oxLDL with oxLDL/LDL-C ratio (all log values; r = 0.767; P<.001). Because the level of oxLDL was strongly correlated with that of its substrate (r = 0.547; P<.001), we used for the present analysis the oxLDL/LDL-C ratio (log value).
Kaplan-Meier survival curves for the onset of (severe) mobility limitation events across tertiles of the oxLDL/LDL-C ratio are shown in Figure 1. Participants with higher levels of lipoprotein peroxidation presented a significantly higher risk of developing mobility limitation events than those in the lowest tertiles (P<.05 for all).
Kaplan-Meier survival curves (n = 2985) for tertiles of the ratio of oxidated low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) to LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) (per mille) for onset of mobility limitation (A) (log rank P = .02) and severe mobility limitation (B) (log rank P = .01) events. For oxLDL/LDL-C, the first tertile (1) was less than 8.38‰; the second tertile (2), 8.38‰ to 11.48‰; and the third tertile (3), greater than 11.48‰.
Results from Cox proportional hazard models testing the predictive value of the oxLDL/LDL-C ratio for the onset of mobility disability events are reported in Table 2. The oxLDL/LDL-C ratio was significantly and strongly associated with an increased risk of mobility limitation (P<.01 for all). Minor differences were reported between unadjusted models and those taking into account all the potential confounders. No significance was reported for LDL-C in the prediction of mobility limitation events. Oxidated LDL levels were able to predict (severe) mobility limitation events but to a lesser extent than the oxLDL/LDL-C ratio.
Analyses were then reperformed adding levels of IL-6 to the models to evaluate whether the association between the oxLDL/LDL-C ratio and mobility disability events was independent of this proinflammatory cytokine. Results are reported in Table 3. Unadjusted models showed statistically significant associations for both oxLDL/LDL-C ratio and IL-6 with mobility outcomes, even if a reduction in the associations strength was reported. Borderline significance was found when testing the predictive value of the oxLDL/LDL-C ratio for mobility limitation in a partially adjusted model (hazard ratio [HR], 1.13; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.98-1.29; P = .09), and in the fully adjusted model (HR, 1.13; 95% CI, 0.98-1.31; P = .10). Analyses exploring severe mobility limitation showed significant results for the oxLDL/LDL-C ratio even after adjustment for all the potential confounders (HR, 1.31; 95% CI, 1.05-1.64; P = .02). Levels of IL-6 were strongly associated with both outcomes (P<.001 for all), independently of potential confounders and lipoprotein peroxidation. No significant sex, race, or IL-6 interaction was found between oxLDL/LDL-C ratio and mobility disability events.
Figure 2 shows results from fully adjusted Cox proportional hazard models exploring the relationship between mobility events and a 4-level categorical variable defined by the number of markers (oxLDL/LDL-C ratio and IL-6) in their highest tertiles (none [reference group], oxLDL/LDL-C ratio only, IL-6 only, or oxLDL/LDL-C ratio and IL-6). Participants with high levels of IL-6 alone or in combination with a high oxLDL/LDL-C ratio presented an increased risk of developing mobility limitation (HR, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.11-1.50 and HR, 1.47; 95% CI, 1.24-1.74, respectively) compared with participants with normal levels of both markers. Similar findings were reported for severe mobility limitation. In fact, participants with high levels of IL-6 alone or in combination with a high oxLDL/LDL-C ratio had a higher risk of developing severe mobility disability than the reference group (HR, 1.47; 95% CI, 1.16-1.85 and HR, 1.69; 95% CI, 1.31-2.19, respectively). No significant differences were found between participants with only a high oxLDL/LDL-C ratio compared with the reference group for the prediction of (severe) mobility limitation (P>.10).
Hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals for the association of 4 different variables with the onset of mobility limitation (A) and severe mobility limitation (B) events. High levels of interleukin 6 (IL-6) or oxidated low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) are defined as the highest IL-6 or oxLDL/LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) ratio tertiles. Normal levels of IL-6 or oxLDL are defined as the 2 lowest IL-6 or oxLDL/LDL-C ratio tertiles. All data are adjusted for age, sex, race, site, smoking, physical activity, coronary heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, osteoarthritis, peripheral artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, depression, pulmonary disease, body mass index, values of total cholesterol, creatinine, albumin, fasting glucose, and glycated hemoglobin, and use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, and statins.
To evaluate whether findings were driven by the presence of atherosclerotic diseases, we tested the interaction terms between oxLDL/LDL-C ratio and atherosclerotic diseases (coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular disease) for the onset of mobility disability events. No significant results were reported (P>.10 for all), suggesting that the predictive value of oxLDL/LDL-C ratio for mobility disability is independent of atherosclerotic diseases presence. Restricted analyses were also performed after exclusion of 289 participants who developed myocardial infarction and/or cerebrovascular events during the follow-up. Results from adjusted (model 2 adjustment) Cox proportional hazard models confirmed that oxLDL/LDL-C ratio was predictive for mobility limitation (HR, 1.21; 95% CI, 1.04-1.42; P = .02) and severe mobility limitation (HR, 1.47; 95% CI, 1.15-1.88; P = .002) events, independently of the presence of atherosclerotic process.
Other clinical conditions potentially mediating the relationship between oxLDL/LDL-C ratio and mobility limitation outcomes were also evaluated. Analyses were reperformed in restricted samples after exclusion of participants with diabetes, hypertension, osteoarthritis, peripheral artery disease, depression, and/or pulmonary disease. Consistent results with previous findings were reported, confirming the independent association between oxLDL/LDL-C ratio and incidence of mobility limitation.
The present study is the first to our knowledge to explore the predictive value of a marker of oxidative damage (oxLDL) for the onset of mobility limitation. We have shown that lipoprotein peroxidation is associated with an increased risk of developing mobility limitation in older persons. Moreover, we have explored whether this association was independent of IL-6 levels, a major and well-established marker of inflammation. Our findings show that IL-6 is a stronger predictor of mobility disability than oxLDL. However, the best prediction of incident mobility limitation events was obtained when both markers were considered together. Moreover, we reported a significant association between lipoprotein peroxidation and incident severe mobility limitation independent of IL-6 levels.
How can oxLDL level predict mobility limitation? It might be argued that the predictive value of oxLDL levels for the onset of mobility limitation might be solely owing to the atherogenic action and consequent cardiovascular status associated with this lipoprotein peroxidation marker. Oxidative damage in general, and oxLDL in particular, have been associated with atherosclerosis, which in turn has shown a graded relationship with the likelihood of maintaining intact mobility function.28 However, no significant results were found when we tested the interactions between oxLDL/LDL-C ratio and atherosclerotic diseases (coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease) for the incidence of mobility disability. Moreover, restricted analyses performed in participants with no incident myocardial infarction and/or cerebrovascular events occurring during the follow-up led to results consistent with those obtained from the overall sample, suggesting that the association between oxLDL level and mobility limitation is independent of atherosclerotic processes. We also evaluated other clinical conditions as potential mediators of the studied relationship. However, the independent association between lipoprotein peroxidation and mobility limitation was confirmed even after exclusion of participants with diabetes, hypertension, osteoarthritis, peripheral artery disease, depression, and/or pulmonary disease.
On the basis of current evidence we may hypothesize that inflammation and oxidative damage, strongly related to each other,7,29,30 may represent promoters of the disabling process. Confirming previous reports, we showed in the present study the strong predictive value of IL-6 levels for the onset of mobility disability. The relationship of inflammation with the onset of mobility disability has been widely demonstrated.11,26,31 Inflammatory markers have been shown to negatively effect skeletal muscle mass and quality, namely by accelerating changes that are typical of the aging process.11,32- 34 In fact, a direct influence of cytokine levels on muscle mass has been demonstrated in humans33,35 as well as in animal models.36- 38
A synergistic relationship between inflammation and oxidative damage can also be found at the beginning of several pathophysiologic changes and clinical conditions potentially mediating the onset of physical function loss. For example, obesity, a major risk factor for disability, is associated with oxidative damage as well as with inflammation.39 Similarly, several clinical conditions (such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, pulmonary disease, and neurodegenerative disease) have been associated with increased levels of oxidative damage and inflammation. The burden of comorbidity is a well-established etiologic risk factor for the frailty syndrome, which has disability as major outcome.40
For the present analyses, we used plasma levels of oxLDL, a cardiovascular risk factor commonly adopted to measure oxidative damage. However, other markers may represent better markers of oxidative damage than oxLDL (eg, isoprostanes).41,42
If further studies will confirm oxidative damage as a causative agent of the disabling process, new potential targets for future interventions aimed at preventing the onset of physical disability can be considered. Antioxidant supplementation might represent a potential approach to simultaneously reduce oxidative damage levels and increase physical performance. Unfortunately, although some findings have shown improvements,43- 45 other studies do not support a beneficial effect of increased antioxidant intakes on physical performance.46- 48 Nevertheless, it has been suggested that an adequate antioxidant intake is needed to maintain healthy muscular activity.49 Physical exercise may represent another intervention improving physical performance by reducing oxidative damage. In fact, even if physical exercise is associated with an abnormal production of free radicals in the short term, elderly individuals who are physically active benefit from exercise-induced adaptations in the cellular antioxidant defense system.50 Wang and colleagues51 demonstrated in animal models that regular physical exercise is able to decrease levels of lipid peroxides. Finally, weight loss, which has been shown to improve physical function in older persons,52 is also associated with reductions of oxidative damage and inflammation levels.39
In conclusion, our study demonstrates that lipoprotein peroxidation is predictive for the onset of mobility disability in well-functioning nondisabled older persons. This association is strongly associated with levels of inflammation. Further studies are needed to confirm our findings, especially using other markers of oxidative damage, and to provide a basis to verify whether intervention aimed at reducing or preventing oxidative damage could be addressed for the prevention of disability in older persons.

WASHINGTON - U.S. Sen. Robert P. Casey Jr. (D., Pa.) said Friday he would vote against confirming an Obama administration nominee whose past efforts to overturn the death sentence of convicted cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal have drawn Republican ire.
Casey's decision, described in a statement he released late Friday, makes him one of the only Senate Democrats to have publicly opposed lawyer Debo Adegbile as the president's pick to lead the Justice Department's civil rights division.
"I respect that our system of law ensures the right of all citizens to legal representation no matter how heinous the crime," Casey's statement said. "At the same time, it is important that we ensure that Pennsylvanians and citizens across the country have full confidence in their public representatives."

10 ways you know you're not a rookie anymore
We all wake up one day and come to the realization that it's been a significant amount of time since we began our cop career
It seems we all wake up one day and come to the realization that it's been a significant amount of time since we began our cop career. Days go by and we lose track of time... then, one day we wake up and our children are graduating from high school and it finally sinks in that we are the "old guys" on the beat. But the fact that time has sped by could be an indication that you still love your job. Below is a list of a few things — some good and some bad — that you may do or think a bit differently since you first hit the beat ___ (fill in the blank) years ago.
The top 10 ways you know you may not be a rookie anymore (drumroll, please):
10. Five minutes prior to the end of your shift, you see a suspected DUI make a right turn, so you make a left one...
9. Instead of telling someone how many years on the job you have, you tell them how many more you have left before you can retire...
8. While on a suicide crime scene, you are trying to decide what sounds good for your dinner break as soon as you can clear the call...
7. You can carry on a perfectly normal conversation on the phone with your wife or girlfriend while running to a hot call...
6. The "newer" guys have things on their duty belt that you're not even sure what they are or what they are used for...
5. When you tell the younger guys you used to drive a "Shamu" and they don't know what you are talking about...
4. You still remember what "blue dots" are on vehicles...
3. You distinctly remember the day you transitioned from you service revolver to a semi-automatic…and thought it was strange…
2. "Administrative Leave" is just another term for vacation...
And the number one reason you may not be a rookie anymore is...
1. You can remember saying, "COMPUTER? What's that?"
Maybe some of you have a few items of your own you could add to the list in the comment area. Each generation has their own I am sure. It will be interesting 10 or 20 years from now to hear the new guys say, "TASER? What's that?"
Stay safe out there, you old geezer!

Opinion: The Media Versus Casey Anthony, Verdict: Constitution Assaulted
Category: Opinion
/ Jul 06, 2011 6:04PM EDT
The murder trial and subsequent acquittal of Casey Anthony was the most sensational criminal trial since the OJ Simpson case. To begin, I wish to express my sadness over the loss of the life of the innocent Caylee Anthony. You don't have to be a parent to understand or feel the depth of the tragedy of a life lost at such a young age. There is a human fascination with murder as entertainment that I cannot even begin to fathom, as the mention of the subject fills me with sadness and fear. I do not find it fascinating, nor do I find it entertaining. Yet, some of our most esteemed news media companies have turned the story of the death of a toddler into a primetime circus. This was courtesy of the same cable network that brought us the "twitter-like" republican debate…I can't say that I am surprised. That network seems to be leading a race to the bottom in intellectual and news integrity that has apparently gripped most of the mainstream US media. There was a time not long ago that if you repeatedly and routinely used 140 characters to express your most profound ideas you would be referred to as illiterate. Now that provincial form of communication can make you a social Mayor. Over the course of this trial I have watched the media coverage both live courtroom proceedings as well as endless so-called legal experts appearing on the cable networks offering opinions and speculation over the guilt or innocence of the accused young mother. In addition, I watched the prosecution and defense summations and I too speculated to some degree. Honestly, I had my doubts and thought to myself that I would likely have reached a similar verdict to the one that was reached by the jurors. However, I did have the common sense to understand that I did not have access to all the information or the witnesses, and that I was not privy to all the evidence. Like many I felt sadness and anger over the death of this little girl, and the way her death was being exploited by the media for monetary gain. Professionally and personally I tried my best to keep an open mind and a closed mouth in deference to the memory of Caylee and to the US Constitution which promises us a fair and impartial trial. These are two concepts that have been trampled by the media…and in particular CNN. And in particular Legal Commentator Nancy Grace. Ms. Grace is a former prosecutor and self-proclaimed "victims rights advocate". In reality Nancy Grace is a very dangerous vigilante and modern-day lynch mob instigator backed by a global media company. Ms. Grace has no regard for the US constitution beyond the first amendment within the bill of rights which ensures her livelihood. Ms Grace has been granted a bully pulpit by CNN to trample individual rights in the pursuit of ratings. Her credits include what many believe was pressuring Melinda Duckett the mother of a missing child into suicide after a vicious on-air interview with her in regard to her son's disappearance. Ms. Grace has denied that her vicious verbal attack on Ms. Duckett who had not been named a suspect had anything to do with the interview, but suggested days later that the suicide was likely the result of a guilty conscience. Ms. Grace also contributed to the public humiliation and condemnation of the Duke University Lacrosse players, proclaiming their guilt even before the trial started. In view of CNN's media reach the President of Duke university…one of the most prestigious institutions of higher learning in the US, felt compelled to cancel the Duke mens lacrosse season citing a public opinion backlash. This is a dangerous situation and Nancy Grace is just the freakshow face of the CNN disgrace. She is no more than a vicious dog let lose in the neighborhood by its owner. This type of thing is no more than a modern-day lynch mob and we're all letting it happen by watching her. There is no shame in an interest in the Anthony trial, it is part of our humanity. It is another thing to shamelessly exploit it with sensationalism and trampling people's rights and making baseless public accusations. In truth Casey Anthony may not be innocent, but she was found not guilty by a jury of her peers. In the end, our jury system proved to be stronger than the misguided people who run the media. I do not defend Casey Anthony, but I do defend our constitution and the right to a fair trial. I will leave you all with one question…who would you want deciding your guilt or innocence a jury of your peers…or CNN and Nancy Grace?

READING - As the ball sailed over his head, J.A. Happ didn't bother looking back.
No need to. Bowie's Robbie Widlansky cranked a shot deep over the rightfield fence and Happ immediately walked toward his catcher for a new ball.
Back to the drawing board.
After another up-and-down rehab start, Happ may not be ready to rejoin the Phillies. In his fourth appearance since feeling tightness in his left forearm, an 8-3 win for the Reading Phillies over the Bowie Baysox last night, Happ said he felt pain-free. But if velocity is the chief indicator, he still isn't himself. He still seems to be operating at a gear much lower than what he should be.

James DeGale Aims For Impressive Victory at Glow
London - WBC Silver super middleweight champion James DeGale MBE steps back into the ring at Glow, Bluewater, on Saturday November 16, live on Channel 5, with an opponent to be announced shortly.
The Beijing Olympic Gold medallist, DeGale, will be looking to deliver a "devastating" performance as he continues his march towards world title glory.
"I can't wait to get in there and put on the kind of display where people take note and see that I'm ready and willing to fight the best," DeGale said
"I'll put on a great performance for the fans."
The man, fondly known as 'Chunky', bids to add to Britain's Olympic legacy and his own 2008 success, by becoming our first Olympic and professional world champion.
This is the feat James is targeting and his next step towards this historic achievement is a "devastating" display in front of a full house, at Glow, Bluewater.
"Bluewater always has a real intensity about it and a real intimate feel, which is something that the boxing fraternity and us as fighters love," DeGale said.
"I just can't wait to get in there and give a huge, devastating performance that takes the atmosphere to another level."
This will be James' third fight of 2013 after confident and explosive stoppage victories over Sebastien Demers on his Canadian debut and Stjepan Bozic in his last fight at Glow, Bluewater.
This fight couldn't arrive at a more telling time - as the super middleweight division is heating up and delivering huge clash after clash.
"When you look at the super middleweight division, it really is a great time, as there are no easy fights, no easy world champions," DeGale said.
"You'd have to say Andre Ward is number one and then you'd probably have to say it's Carl Froch, but when you look at the list of other fighters in the division, the likes of: Mikkel Kessler, Thomas Oosthuizen, Lucian Buté, George Groves, I think it's very difficult to say who number three is, who number four is.
"It's a really strong division with a lot of talented fighters and I'd say I'm inside the top 10 and very excited to mix it with the best and show everything I've got."
One contest at the forefront of James' mind is the domestic scrap between WBA and IBF world champion Carl Froch and title challenger George Groves.
"I look at the Froch vs. Groves fight and I know that in the next six months it's likely that I'll fight the winner of that one, so it really is exciting times," DeGale said.
"I'm ready and willing to fight anyone and it's time to step up and face the best."
James knows that he may be just one or two fights away from such a fight and is now looking to deliver a real signal of intent when a fitter, faster, focussed DeGale erupts on November 16th.
"I'm delighted to bring James back to Glow, Bluewater," Mick Hennessy said.
"James is a world class fighter and this is a truly world class venue, where we can give the fight fans what they want - a superb fight and show that James is ready for anyone in the division."
James DeGale has no charm to the British public. People forget he is a gold medallist. And he went to Hennessey to get fights. He fought twice, then had a 6 month break, then had another couple. Unfortunately, he is…Comment by PrinceNaz88 on 10-07-2013
Yeah disappointed by DeGale not stepping up for bigger fights but that is Hennessey to blame. DeGale needs to move to Matchroom if he can get out of his contract.Comment by Black Barty on 10-07-2013
[QUOTE=D-MiZe;13818901]No doubt it'll be a poor opponent... :nonono:[/QUOTE] Of course it will. No one half decent will take the fight on such short notice. If DeGale thinks these no hopers will prepare him for the level of power and intensity…Comment by Drunk Punch on 10-07-2013

This variety will grow well in most regions of the United States.
This melon was introduced by W. Atlee Burpee in 1886 from seed sent by William G. Voorhees of Benzie County, Michigan.
Melons were developed and domesticated in Africa and Asia. Europeans settling in the Americas are recorded growing honeydew and casaba melons in the 17th century.
This variety works for
Melons are traditionally eaten raw or fresh. Top a slice of melon with a dash of salt and serve with any meal or on its own!
Melon pairs nicely with both sweet and savory flavors so you can combine it with other fruits in a salad or toss with mint, feta, and cured pork or bacon.
" "The flavor is sweet and luscious beyond description…and altogether unapproached in delicious flavor." "
This crop can be direct seeded into the soil after the last spring frost. You can also start plants indoors 3-6 weeks before the last frost date.
If you are direct seeding, plant in groups of 2-3 seeds and keep the healthiest plant that matures. Space your plants or seeds 12-18 inches apart and plant 1/2-1 in. deep.
Make sure that your soil is well fertilized as this crop is a heavy feeder and takes a lot of nutrients from the soil. Consider adding compost to the soil the year before you plant.
These plants prefer warm weather and soil so they should be grown when temperatures are over 68 degrees F. You should avoid watering them from above as damp leaves may be susceptible to disease.
You can direct seed melons in your garden or start plants indoors 2-3 weeks before your last frost to give them a head start. Wait until all danger of frost is gone before planting them outdoors in either rows 4-6 feet apart or hills. Seeds should be planted 1 inch deep and if you are planting in hills, place 6-8 seeds per hill. You will want to thin the seedlings to 3-4 plants as they grow. Melon seeds will germinate in 4-10 day and it will take 70-90 days for the fruit to mature.
There are about 930 seeds in an ounce of Emerald Gem melon.

Bradley Says Weight Loss Hurt Ability To Take a Punch
By Ryan Burton
WBO welterweight king Tim Bradley (30-0 12 KOs) has had nothing but praise for Ruslan Provodnikov, whom he defeated on March 16th in Carson, CA in an early "Fight of he Year" candidate. On a recent edition of BoxingScene Radio, Bradley explained why he exchanged with the hard hitting Siberian.
"That's a good question. I had to come in there and show this guy who the boss was and I guess he showed me who was the boss," Bradley stated as he admitted that he was looking to end the fight early.
"Ruslan Provodnikov is no slouch man. You gotta give it up to him. He's a great fighter. I trained hard for this fight. I took him very seriously and I am glad I did. He's a very tough fighter. I went in there and I wanted to take him out. I'm not going to lie. I wanted to take him out and I got hurt early on," he continued.
Bradley normally uses Grant gloves but used Cleto Reyes for this fight. He said that he isn't sure if the gloves had any effect on the fights outcome but Provodnikov's face was cut and badly bruised after the fight.
"I don't know if it did anything different. I didn't knock him out or anything but I know he was very swollen up and I was able to cut him with those gloves. I'm not going to say anything bad about the other gloves though. Just being honest I prefer the Grants," Bradley admitted.
The native Southern Californian siad that his plan was to continue to apply pressure throughout the fight and that he thought Provodnikov wouldn't be able to handle it.
"For some reason I just wanted to fight him, take complete control. I thought maybe I can take him to deep waters and drown him. I thought he might fade but I was completely wrong," Bradley told us on BoxingScene Radio.
The 29-year-old Bradley was badly hurt in the 1st, 2nd, 6th and 12th rounds. He thinks that his rapid weight loss may have led to his inability to take a punch. Bradley has been down before to the likes of Kendall Holt but has never been hurt the way he was against Provodnikov. He admitted that his weight ballooned during his 9 month period of inactivity between the Manny Pacquiao and Ruslan Provodnikov fights.
"I think I wasn't able to take a punch because of my weight. I was up to 185 pounds after the Pacquiao fight and I know that two weeks before the fight I was still 20 pounds over. I've never been that heavy. I was up to 160 fight night and I've never been that night. I'm usually around 150," said Bradley.

Vegan Griller's Guide
You wanna throw a killer barbecue—without the killing, of course. What to do? Consult our vegan griller's guide and prepare to wow your friends. Here's what you'll need:
Hilary's Eat Well burgers
Hilary herself says that she created "The 'World's Best' Veggie Burger" with the intention of having it be "free of all common food allergens and artificial ingredients." This burger doesn't have corn, gluten, yeast, soy, nuts, eggs, or dairy products. It's basically our vegan dream burger.
Lightlife's Jumbo Smart Dogs hot dogs
Fat-free but full of flavor, this veggie dog gives new meaning to the phrase "dog days of summer." Other ways to think outside the bun can be found here.
Gardein BBQ Skewers
There's something decidedly summery about eating food off a stick. With Gardein's BBQ Skewers and Chick'n Strips, you can be nibbling at a skewer in minutes. Wedge bits of the faux meat between seasonal veggies, grill 'em up, and then chow down.
'Kiss Me, I'm Vegan' apron
If you're doing the grilling, you deserve to be the center of attention. Put on a "Kiss Me, I'm Vegan!" apron, and spread the vegan love that much further.
Great recipes
Whether you're looking to flame-broil some burgers, try out a new style of skewer, or get your guests a little tipsy vegan-style, there are plenty of cookbooks out there to help you—including our personal favorite, Grilling Vegan Style:
Don't forget your veggies: If you want to grill the perfect vegetable, we'll show you how.
Commenting is closed.
I love to grill. Here are a few ideas that don't use tofu or faux meat. I grill up veggie skewers. I use summer squash, cherry or grape tomatoes, mushrooms, bell peppers, eggplant, frozen pearl onions that have been thawed, etc. I grill fruit – pineapple, peaches, nectarines and pears. I make veggie packets in foil or on a grill wok. Red or Yukon Gold potatoes, turnips, rutabagas jicama and add onion. Cut the veggies in bite size pieces drizzle olive oil and season with your favorite spices – I like Herbes de Provence. Either wrap in a foil pack or put on a grill wok and cook 20 minutes on a medium heat grill.
I also grill up seitan on the grill after drizzling it with olive oil. I put it on skewers with peppers, onions firm tofu and mushrooms. Yum!!!
Gardein products are great, and I will definitely grab some for my next bbq. I was hoping for something a bit beyond faux meat though.
I wish they had those in Brasil , Rio de Janeiro , we dont have too many good things for vegans and vegetarians in the market .
