More and more brands have jumped on the IoT bandwagon. We have an excess of wearables – activity trackers, smartwatches, smart glasses and sneakers, and more that track seemingly endless datapoints. However, most consumers have no idea what "IoT" means. Creating more wearables that track data shouldn't be the aim of brands; delivering meaningful, tangible relevance to their users should be. We're in a period in which the IoT pendulum is still swinging. Initially, it swung toward "smart for smar...

DevOps is being widely accepted (if not fully adopted) as essential in enterprise IT. But as Enterprise DevOps gains maturity, expands scope, and increases velocity, the need for data-driven decisions across teams becomes more acute.

Quantifying the Effects of Job Matching Through Social Networks
Adalbert Mayer
Texas A&M University - Department of Economics
May 1, 2011
Journal of Applied Economics, Vol. 14, No. 1, pp. 35-59, May 2011
The recent literature explains the theoretical implications of the matching of workers to jobs through social networks. These insights are obtained for extremely simplified economies or rely on unrealistically simple social networks. Therefore, it is difficult to obtain a sense for the quantitative importance of effects generated by real life social networks. In this paper, I augment a labor market matching model to allow for information transmission through social networks. I illustrate the effects of social networks and I use simulations to quantify the predictions of the model for complex and realistic social networks. Information transmission through social contacts reduces the steady state unemployment rate from a hypothetical 6.5% to 5%. Social referrals can explain one fifth of the observed duration dependence of unemployment. They cannot explain much of the variation in wages of otherwise homogeneous workers and do not substantially influence aggregate outcomes over the business cycle.
Keywords: job search, matching, social networks, information transmission

By Casey L. Peacock: Special to the PNT
Rural schools in the Roosevelt County will be holding Child Find Clinics to help screen children from birth to 5 years for any developmental delays.
The clinics are free of charge and provide help for parents who may have concerns about their child's development.
The clinics will do a series of tests on each child to help determine where they are in their development. Some of the areas the child will be tested in include: Cognitive and thinking skills, speech and language skills and large and fine motor skills.
Other areas that will be tested are vision and hearing, which will be administered by the school nurse. The Department of Health will also be on-site to conduct nutritional screenings and to provide nutritional information. They will also check to see if a child's shot records are up-to-date.
Eastern New Mexico Rehabilitative Services for the Handicapped and Children's Medical Services will also be at the clinics to provide assistance to those families who may need there services.
"(The clinics) basically screen for anything that might be a delay for little ones," Patti Harrelson, Director of Regional Education Center 6 said.
The clinics are held in the spring or fall of each year to give parents a chance to assess what needs their child may have.
If a child has a developmental delay, such as a speech or hearing problem, they will be placed in the school's preschool program. These programs are designed to help the child succeed and advance for their age.
Other aspects of the preschool program are teaching a child social skills. They are put in a setting that helps them to learn many different things, such as standing in line, tying their shoes or sitting quietly.
"Schools pick up the cost and allow everybody to go," Harrelson said.
Schools participating in the Child Find Clinics include: Dora, Elida, Floyd, Fort Sumner, Grady, House, Logan, Melrose, San Jon and Texico.
Patti Mohon, of Dora Schools encourages parents to bring their child even if they believe there are no delays in their development.
"There is room in the program for children even if they do not have any delays. They are referred to as peer models," Mohon said.
Another part of the program that will be offered at the Floyd Child Find Clinic will be the police department. They will be on hand to fingerprint the children and give them a chance to meet the officers and let the children know they are not to be afraid of them.
For more information about the upcoming Child Find Clinics, contact the Regional Education Center E6 at 562-4455, or call your local school.

Teaming up for a common cause
Kyle Sizemore loved baseball, riding bikes, playing guitar and was always surrounded by friends.
On March 8, 2005, Sizemore jumped into his friends Ford Escort along with two others. The driver, Joseph McCann, under the influence of alcohol and marijuana, pulled out of his driveway in front of a Jeep Cherokee. The t-bone collision hit where Sizemore was sitting and the North Kitsap High School junior died at Harborview Medical Center six days later.
Eighteen Kitsap County Sheriffs deputies hit the roads hard on the night of July 21 in honor of Sizemore.
Kitsap County and Pierce County traffic safety task forces teamed up last Saturday night for a traffic safety emphasis patrol involving 33 officers from 13 law enforcement agencies. Law enforcement officials arrested 18 motorists on suspicion of impaired driving and made four other alcohol- and drug-related arrests.
We go out there to save lives and to keep the roads safe for the citizens, said Carolyn Pence, Kitsap County Sheriffs Office Traffic Safety Task Force coordinator.
When they stopped vehicles, Kitsap County deputies distributed flyers depicting Sizemores story and photographs. Members of the traffic safety task forces hope hearing the tragic story of Sizemores death will encourage drivers to make better decisions on the roads.
The majority of fatal collisions in Pierce and Kitsap counties are alcohol- or drug-related, said Mike Davis, Gig Harbor Police chief and chair of the Tacoma Pierce County DUI Task Force.
Kitsap County deputies arrested six while Pierce County arrested 12 impaired motorists last Saturday night. Pierce County deputies dedicated their patrol to Timothy Irvin, another teenage victim of a collision caused by impaired driving in 1987.
Its nice to get the two agencies to work together for a common cause, Pence said. It was a little more work (making flyers) but thats OK.
Law enforcement also took special measures to ensure that liquor was not sold or served to anyone younger than 21 years of age. Four liquor control agents checked more than 150 personal identifications and 35 bars, taverns and convenience stores where liquor is sold. They found no violations during the emphasis patrol July 21.
Pence said she enjoyed working with the Pierce County Traffic Safety Task Force and plans to make the traffic safety emphasis patrol an annual event.
I know we will do another bridge-to-bridge-to-bridge emphasis patrol with Pierce County, she said. We want to make it an annual event.
KCSO regularly does emphasis patrols and Pence hopes to utilize Pierce Countys idea and dedicate more patrols to victims of impaired driving.
We can always get ideas from each other, Pence said.
In December 2005, McCann was sentenced to 34 months in prison for vehicular homicide and vehicular assault. He also was ordered to pay more than $304,000 in restitution.
Since Sizemores death, his family has established a scholarship in his name with the North Kitsap Education Foundation that will pay for traffic safety education for low income students. The Kyle Sizemore Memorial Baseball/Fastpitch tournament is hosted annually to support the scholarship program. Sizemores mother, Nora, is an active member of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) of Kitsap County and speaks at court-ordered victim impact panels.
One night can change a familys life forever, Davis said.

This brings up a thought I had yesterday during all of this. My HR24 wasn't affected by the issue. That brings up the question of whether or not there is something new in the 24's that is not in the other units that can "self repair" this guide data issue.
So maybe if everyone had HR24's the issue wouldn't have happened.
I don't want to find the reference, but someone "in the know" (it may have been Stuart though) pointed out that some HR24's did in fact have the problem.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- A bullet in the leg did not allow a career criminal with a mob bloodline to walk out of jail on a sympathy plea today.
Joseph Cutaia, who claimed he was shot as he got out of his car near the South Shore Country Club in November, was denied temporary bail so he could have the bullet surgically removed from his leg after pleading not guilty to charges stemming from a botched robbery at a Brooklyn electronics store.
Brooklyn federal court Duty Magistrate Judge Roanne L. Mann refused to release Cutaia, and instead issued a medical memo allowing the mob scion to receive surgery and pain medication behind bars.
Cutaia, 30, of Brooklyn, the son of reputed Luchese soldier Salvatore Cutaia, and grandson of Luchese capo Domenico (Danny) Cutaia, is being held at the federal Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn following his arrest Dec. 23 on charges stemming from the botched holdup of a Brooklyn electronics store Nov. 11.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Rachel Nash told Judge Mann that the MDCs contract facility is able to and offered to do the operation to remove the bullet, but that Cutaia refused.
Cutaia, who also goes by the name Joseph DeGerolamo, walked into Staten Island University Hospital's Prince's Bay emergency room on Nov. 30 with a bullet lodged in his leg.
His father, Salvatore Cutaia, told the Advance he believed his son was hit by a stray bullet after he got out of his car near the South Shore Country Club.
It went in and out, his father said at the time, suggesting that the gunshot was possibly stray gunfire from kids playing with a gun in the woods lining the golf course.
But a resident who claimed knowledge of the shooting told the Advance that Cutaia and an unidentified man were seen fighting near the corner of Alverson Avenue and Barrow Place when gunfire erupted.
Police and law enforcement sources said Cutaia is suspected in a series of armed robberies, including the November electronics store job.
Two others indicted with Cutaia -- Nicholas Bernardo and John Paul Cruz -- also pleaded not guilty today.
Cutaia is due to return to Brooklyn federal court Jan. 29 for a conference hearing.

Do you walk barefoot in the grass? Parasites from bird & dog poop. Do you shake people's hands, or unconsciously wipe your nose or rub eyes during the day? Do you think the people's hands you shake or the meat or veggies you eat, or the door knobs you open, or the money you handle is not subjecting you/us to at least some buggers? Ok, we don't live in a tropical fecal/bacterial/parasitic schmorgasbord like India (been there, done that: those tropical worms & parasites & got rid of them too w/out drugs, numerous times in different 3rd world countries). Even American inner-city dwellers are exposed to buggers very day. They live on us, in us, around us, & mostly its a happy mutual coexistence. Sometimes not.
I have been sick w/ buggers maybe 8 times in 35 years of international travel in some dirty places. Once or twice I prayed for death, to end the suffering. I've brought sickness home to the USA. I've since learned how to not get sick when I travel, & D.E. is a part of that international travel kit, for emergencies only as it is kinda bulky.

Dude, I don't consume D.E. daily for months. Never said I did, nor did I endorse that out right. I merely posted 10 search results, & NOT all 10 of them were testimonials btw. Cherry pick much?
I do D.E. in short bursts, for a few weeks, twice a year during seasons' change, like now & in the spring. I do know people who have done it daily for a long time, but my own results and theirs are inadmissible, coz....are we're lying...? Like there's some conspiracy, or that website selling it for $5 a lb is some syndicate getting rich off that wholesale price...
I bought mine from my local farmer dude I get my organic grass-fed milk & pastured eggs from. He likely is making a lot more bucks buying it from those guys for $5/lb or even $4/lb in bulk & reselling it to idiots like me for $14/lb! My nails, skin & hair (yes I do have hair), all are healthier, after just 1 week (impossible? People been saying the same thing abt Primal sometimes too, 1 week full Primal, feeling great!) People have been mentioning this to me the past couple of weeks, about my skin glowing ... Coincidence? Maybe...
I'm eating the same massive amounts of avos, coconut fat, butter, red palm oil & olive oil & meats & cheeses as before, still drinking the same 8-10 glasses of filtered water. So what changed...? The D.E. this past week
Ridicule &/or dismiss it all you want, I'll continue to do D.E. 2-3 times a year, regardless of what others think. The science is there if you'll take your head out of the real sand & do some reading (Googling doesn't automatically mean its crap, same with Wiki, though some Wiki IS CRAP, lol.
As there are medical & university studies in PDF form online, the search engine used is irrelevant. The science is science (if it's good science) & testimonials DO matter to those people who lives its affects (my testimonial matters to me), regardless of where or how you access it, (or whether you discount it or ridicule it).
My testimonial is my story, my truth, so piss off if you think I've got some hidden agenda, like I profit somehow if you order or take D.E. I spend time here to learn from Monsieur Sisson, & to learn from others here who are smarter, more experienced or better read than I am, to help others and to be helped. Sometimes there's entertainment on hand too. But there's some real pissants here too. That's life... I'm sticking around til I get my fill...
Don't others ridicule, discount & poke holes into Paleo/Primal living too? Sheesh...

Silicon deprivation decreases collagen formation in wounds and bone, and ornithine transaminase enzyme activity in liver.
Seaborn CD, Nielsen FH.
University of Wisconsin-Stout, Menomonie, WI, USA.
We have shown that silicon (Si) deprivation decreases the collagen concentration in bone of 9-wk-old rats. Finding that Si deprivation also affects collagen at different stages in bone development, collagen-forming enzymes, or collagen deposition in other tissues would have implications that Si is important for both wound healing and bone formation. Therefore, 42 rats in experiment 1 and 24 rats in experiment 2 were fed a basal diet containing 2 or 2.6 microg Si/g, respectively, based on ground corn and casein, and supplemented with either 0 or 10 microg Si/g as sodium metasilicate. At 3 wk, the femur was removed from 18 of the 42 rats in experiment 1 for hydroxyproline analysis. A polyvinyl sponge was implanted beneath the skin of the upper back of each of the 24 remaining rats. Sixteen hours before termination and 2 wk after the sponge had been implanted, each rat was given an oral dose of 14C-proline (1.8 microCi/100 g body wt). The total amount of hydroxyproline was significantly lower in the tibia and sponges taken from Si-deficient animals than Si-supplemented rats. The disintegrations per minute of 14C-proline were significantly higher in sponge extracts from Si- deficient rats than Si-supplemented rats. Additional evidence of aberrations in proline metabolism with Si deprivation was that liver ornithine aminotransferase was significantly decreased in Si-deprived animals in experiment 2. Findings of an increased accumulation of 14C-proline and decreased total hydroxyproline in implanted sponges and decreased activity of a key enzyme in proline synthesis (liver ornithine aminotransferase) in Si-deprived animals indicates an aberration in the formation of collagen from proline in sites other than bone that is corrected by Si. This suggests that Si is a nutrient of concern in wound healing as well as bone formation.

Dietary silicon and arginine affect mineral element composition of rat femur and vertebra.
Seaborn CD, Nielsen FH.
University of Wisconsin-Stout, Menomonie, WI, USA.
Both arginine and silicon affect collagen formation and bone mineralization. Thus, an experiment was designed to determine if dietary arginine would alter the effect of dietary silicon on bone mineralization and vice versa. Male weanling Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to groups of 12 in a 2 x 2 factorially arranged experiment. Supplemented to a ground corn/casein basal diet containing 2.3 microg Si/g and adequate arginine were silicon as sodium metasilicate at 0 or 35 microg/g diet and arginine at 0 or 5 mg/g diet. The rats were fed ad libitum deionized water and their respective diets for 8 wk. Body weight, liver weight/body weight ratio, and plasma silicon were decreased, and plasma alkaline phosphatase activity was increased by silicon deprivation. Silicon deprivation also decreased femoral calcium, copper, potassium, and zinc concentrations, but increased the femoral manganese concentration. Arginine supplementation decreased femoral molybdenum concentration but increased the femoral manganese concentration. Vertebral concentrations of phosphorus, sodium, potassium, copper, manganese, and zinc were decreased by silicon deprivation. Arginine supplementation increased vertebral concentrations of sodium, potassium, manganese, zinc, and iron. The arginine effects were more marked in the silicon-deprived animals, especially in the vertebra. Germanium concentrations of the femur and vertebra were affected by an interaction between silicon and arginine; the concentrations were decreased by silicon deprivation in those animals not fed supplemental arginine. The change in germanium is consistent with a previous finding by us suggesting that this element may be physiologically important, especially as related to bone DNA concentrations. The femoral and vertebral mineral findings support the contention that silicon has a physiological role in bone formation and that arginine intake can affect that role.

Effects of germanium and silicon on bone mineralization.
Seaborn CD, Nielsen FH.
United States Department of Agriculture, Grand Forks Human Nutrition Research Center, ND 58202.
The chemical properties of Ge are similar to Si. This study investigated whether Ge can substitute for, or is antagonistic to, Si in bone formation. Sixty male weanling Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to treatment groups of 12 and 6 in a 2 x 4 factorially arranged experiment. The independent variables were, per gram fresh diet, Si (as sodium metasilicate) at 0 or 25 micrograms and Ge (as sodium germanate) at 0, 5, 30, or 60 micrograms. Results confirmed that Ge does not enhance Si deprivation and provided evidence that Ge apparently can replace Si in functions that influence bone composition. When Si was lacking in the diet, calcium and magnesium concentrations of the femur were decreased; this was reversed by feeding either Ge and/or Si. Similar effects were found for zinc, sodium, iron, manganese, and potassium of vertebra. There were some responses to Si deprivation that Ge could not reverse; Ge did not increase femur copper, sodium, or phosphorus or decrease molybdenum of vertebra, effects that were evoked by Si supplementation. Additionally, some findings suggested that 60 micrograms Ge/g diet could be a toxic intake for the rat. On the other hand, some responses induced by Ge indicate that this element may be acting physiologically other than as a substitute for Si. Germanium itself affected bone composition. Germanium supplementation decreased Si and molybdenum in the femur and increased DNA in tibia. Regardless of the amount of Si fed, animals fed 30 micrograms Ge/g diet had increased tibial DNA compared to animals fed 0 or 60 micrograms Ge; however, tibial DNA of animals fed 30 micrograms Ge was not statistically different from those animals fed 5 micrograms Ge. Thus, Ge may be of nutritional importance.

Silicon metabolism. The interrelations of inorganic silicon (Si) with systemic iron (Fe), Zinc (Zn), and copper (Cu) pools in the rat.
Najda J, Gmiński J, Drózdz M, Danch A.
Department of Biochemistry and Chemistry, Silesian Medical Academy, Medyków, Poland.
The influence of silicon treatment on the levels of trace elements zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), and iron (Fe) in serum and tissues was studied in rats. The concentrations of silicon, iron, and zinc were estimated in samples of sera and tissues of rats receiving per os a soluble, inorganic silicon compound--sodium metasilicate nonahydrate (Na2SiO3.9H2O), dissolved in the drinking water. An increase of copper concentrations in liver and aortic walls in the experimental group was observed, with simultaneous reduction of zinc amounts in serum and all the tissue samples in the course of the experiment. The iron concentrations in the analyzed samples did not show any significant changes between both groups. The silicon levels in serum and in all the examined tissues were significantly higher in the tested group. The results provide evidence for the silicon interaction with copper and zinc, which could result in a number of metabolic process modifications, antiatheromatous activity among them.

The effect of silicon (Si) on lipid parameters in blood serum and arterial wall.
Najda J, Gminski J, Drozdz M, Flak A.
Department of Biochemistry and Chemistry, Silesian Medical Academy, Katowice, Poland.
The influence of silicon treatment on the levels of lipid parameters of blood serum and aortic wall was studied in rats. The concentrations of total cholesterol, phospholipids, triglycerides, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and HDL-phospholipids were measured in sera of rats receiving per os a soluble, inorganic silicon compound--sodium metasilicate nonahydrate (Na2SiO3.9H2O)--dissolved in the drinking water. In the aortic tissue levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides and phospholipids were estimated. An increase in HDL-cholesterol and HDL-phospholipid concentrations, with a simultaneous decrease of LDL-cholesterol and triglyceride levels, was observed in the sera of the tested group. The levels of total cholesterol and phospholipids in the sera, as well as the concentrations of lipids in the aortic walls, showed no significant differences. The results obtained could provide evidence for the existence of an additional mechanism of silicon antiatheromatous action, concerning the modification of activity of enzymatic systems involved in lipids metabolism.

Silicon and bone health.
Jugdaohsingh R.
Rayne Institute, Gastrointestinal Laboratory, St Thomas' Hospital, London. email@example.com
Low bone mass (osteoporosis) is a silent epidemic of the 21st century, which presently in the UK results in over 200,000 fractures annually at a cost of over one billion pounds. Figures are set to increase worldwide. Understanding the factors which affect bone metabolism is thus of primary importance in order to establish preventative measures or treatments for this condition. Nutrition is an important determinant of bone health, but the effects of the individual nutrients and minerals, other than calcium, is little understood. Accumulating evidence over the last 30 years strongly suggest that dietary silicon is beneficial to bone and connective tissue health and we recently reported strong positive associations between dietary Si intake and bone mineral density in US and UK cohorts. The exact biological role(s) of silicon in bone health is still not clear, although a number of possible mechanisms have been suggested, including the synthesis of collagen and/or its stabilization, and matrix mineralization. This review gives an overview of this naturally occurring dietary element, its metabolism and the evidence of its potential role in bone health.

Absorption of silicon from artesian aquifer water and its impact on bone health in postmenopausal women: a 12 week pilot study.

Decreased bone mineral density and osteoporosis in postmenopausal women represents a growing source of physical limitations and financial concerns in our aging population. While appropriate medical treatments such as bisphosphonate drugs and hormone replacement therapy exist, they are associated with serious side effects such as osteonecrosis of the jaw or increased cardiovascular risk. In addition to calcium and vitamin D supplementation, previous studies have demonstrated a beneficial effect of dietary silicon on bone health. This study evaluated the absorption of silicon from bottled artesian aquifer water and its effect on markers of bone metabolism.
Seventeen postmenopausal women with low bone mass, but without osteopenia or osteoporosis as determined by dual x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) were randomized to drink one liter daily of either purified water of low-silicon content (PW) or silicon-rich artesian aquifer water (SW) (86 mg/L silica) for 12 weeks. Urinary silicon and serum markers of bone metabolism were measured at baseline and after 12 weeks and analyzed with two-sided t-tests with p < 0.05 defined as significant.
The urinary silicon level increased significantly from 0.016 ± 0.010 mg/mg creatinine at baseline to 0.037 ± 0.014 mg/mg creatinine at week 12 in the SW group (p = 0.003), but there was no change for the PW group (0.010 ± 0.004 mg/mg creatinine at baseline vs. 0.009 ± 0.006 mg/mg creatinine at week 12, p = 0.679). The urinary silicon for the SW group was significantly higher in the silicon-rich water group compared to the purified water group (p < 0.01). NTx, a urinary marker of bone resorption did not change during the study and was not affected by the silicon water supplementation. No significant change was observed in the serum markers of bone formation compared to baseline measurements for either group.
These findings indicate that bottled water from artesian aquifers is a safe and effective way of providing easily absorbed dietary silicon to the body. Although the silicon did not affect bone turnover markers in the short-term, the mineral's potential as an alternative prevention or treatment to drug therapy for osteoporosis warrants further longer-term investigation in the future.

Silicon: a possible factor in bone calcification.
Carlisle EM.
Silicon, a relatively unknown trace element in nutritional research, has been uniquely localized in active calcification sites in young bone. Silicon increases directly with calcium at relatively low calcium concentrations and falls below the detection limit at compositions approaching hydroxyapatite. It is suggested that silicon is associated with calcium in an early stage of calcification.

Effect of silicon supplement on osteopenia induced by ovariectomy in rats.
Rico H, Gallego-Lago JL, Hernández ER, Villa LF, Sanchez-Atrio A, Seco C, Gérvas JJ.
Departamento de Medicina, Universidad de Alcalá, 28801, Madrid, Spain.
The effect of silicon (Si) supplement on preventing bone mass loss induced by ovariectomy (OVX) in rats was investigated. Three groups of 15, 100-day-old female Wistar rats each, with a mean initial weight of approximately 260 g per animal, were selected for the present study. One of the experimental group consisting of 15 OVX rats was fed a diet supplemented with 500 mg of Si per kg of feed (Si + OVX). The other two groups consisting of 15 OVX and 15 sham-OVX rats did not receive these supplements. Morphometric (weight and length) and densitometric studies with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry were performed on the whole femur and 5th lumbar vertebra of each animal 30 days after the experiment. The Si + OVX rats did not show a loss of bone mass induced by OVX at axial level (5th lumbar vertebra) or periphery (femur). Nonetheless, a significant increase (ANOVA with Bonferroni/Dunn post hocs test) of longitudinal development of the femur (P < 0.0001) was patent. These results, obtained through the measurements of axial and peripheral bones, warrant closer scrutiny in connection with the Si inhibitory effect on bone mass loss as well as the stimulatory effect on bone formation. Both actions, namely, inhibition of resorption and stimulation of formation, infer that Si may have a potential therapeutic application in the treatment of involutive osteoporosis.

Dietary silicon intake is positively associated with bone mineral density in men and premenopausal women of the Framingham Offspring cohort.

The role of dietary silicon in bone health in humans is not known. In a cross-sectional, population-based study (2847 participants), associations between dietary silicon intake and BMD were investigated. Dietary silicon correlated positively and significantly with BMD at all hip sites in men and premenopausal women, but not in postmenopausal women, suggesting that increased silicon intake is associated with increased cortical BMD in these populations.
Osteoporosis is a burgeoning health and economic issue. Agents that promote bone formation are widely sought. Animal and cellular data suggest that the orthosilicate anion (i.e., dietary silicon) is involved in bone formation. The intake of silicon (Si, approximately 30 mg/day) is among the highest for trace elements in humans, but its contribution to bone health is not known.
In a cross-sectional, population-based study, we examined the association between silicon intake and bone mineral density (BMD) in 1251 men and 1596 pre- and postmenopausal women in the Framingham Offspring cohort (age, 30-87 years) at four hip sites and lumbar spine, adjusting for all potential confounding factors known to influence BMD and nutrient intake.
Silicon intake correlated positively with adjusted BMD at four hip sites in men and premenopausal women, but not in postmenopausal women. No significant association was observed at the lumbar spine in any group. Categorical analysis by Si intake, or energy-adjusted Si intake, supported these findings, and showed large differences in BMD (up to 10%) between the highest (> 40 mg Si/day) and lowest (< 14 mg Si/day) quintiles of silicon intake. A significant association at the lumbar spine in men was also observed. Further analyses indicated that some of the effects seen for moderate consumption of alcoholic beverages on BMD might be attributed to Si intake.
These findings suggest that higher dietary silicon intake in men and younger women may have salutary effects on skeletal health, especially cortical bone health, that has not been previously recognized. Confirmation of these results is being sought in a longitudinal study and by assessment of the influence of silicon intake on bone markers in this cohort.

Silicon deficiency in animals leads to bone defects. This element may therefore play an important role in bone metabolism. Silicon is absorbed from the diet as orthosilicic acid and concentrations in plasma are 5-20 microM. The in vitro effects of orthosilicic acid (0-50 microM) on collagen type 1 synthesis was investigated using the human osteosarcoma cell line (MG-63), primary osteoblast-like cells derived from human bone marrow stromal cells, and an immortalized human early osteoblastic cell line (HCC1). Collagen type 1 mRNA expression and prolyl hydroxylase activity were also determined in the MG-63 cells. Alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin (osteoblastic differentiation) were assessed both at the protein and the mRNA level in MG-63 cells treated with orthosilicic acid. Collagen type 1 synthesis increased in all treated cells at orthosilicic acid concentrations of 10 and 20 microM, although the effects were more marked in the clonal cell lines (MG-63, HCCl 1.75- and 1.8-fold, respectively, P < 0.001, compared to 1.45-fold in the primary cell lines). Treatment at 50 microM resulted in a smaller increase in collagen type 1 synthesis (MG-63 1.45-fold, P = 0.004). The effect of orthosilicic acid was abolished in the presence of prolyl hydroxylase inhibitors. No change in collagen type 1 mRNA level was seen in treated MG-63 cells. Alkaline phosphatase activity and osteocalcin were significantly increased (1.5, 1.2-fold at concentrations of 10 and 20 microM, respectively, P < 0.05). Gene expression of alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin also increased significantly following treatment. In conclusion, orthosilicic acid at physiological concentrations stimulates collagen type 1 synthesis in human osteoblast-like cells and enhances osteoblastic differentiation.

Choline-stabilized orthosilicic acid supplementation as an adjunct to calcium/vitamin D3 stimulates markers of bone formation in osteopenic females: a randomized, placebo-controlled trial.

Mounting evidence supports a physiological role for silicon (Si) as orthosilicic acid (OSA, Si(OH)4) in bone formation. The effect of oral choline-stabilized orthosilicic acid (ch-OSA) on markers of bone turnover and bone mineral density (BMD) was investigated in a double-blind placebo-controlled trial.
Over 12-months, 136 women out of 184 randomized (T-score spine < -1.5) completed the study and received, daily, 1000 mg Ca and 20 microg cholecalciferol (Vit D3) and three different ch-OSA doses (3, 6 and 12 mg Si) or placebo. Bone formation markers in serum and urinary resorption markers were measured at baseline, and after 6 and 12 months. Femoral and lumbar BMD were measured at baseline and after 12 months by DEXA.
Overall, there was a trend for ch-OSA to confer some additional benefit to Ca and Vit D3 treatment, especially for markers of bone formation, but only the marker for type I collagen formation (PINP) was significant at 12 months for the 6 and 12 mg Si dose (vs. placebo) without a clear dose response effect. A trend for a dose-corresponding increase was observed in the bone resorption marker, collagen type I C-terminal telopeptide (CTX-I). Lumbar spine BMD did not change significantly. Post-hoc subgroup analysis (baseline T-score femur < -1) however was significant for the 6 mg dose at the femoral neck (T-test). There were no ch-OSA related adverse events observed and biochemical safety parameters remained within the normal range.
Combined therapy of ch-OSA and Ca/Vit D3 had a potential beneficial effect on bone collagen compared to Ca/Vit D3 alone which suggests that this treatment is of potential use in osteoporosis. NTR 1029.

This is just a sampling of the research on silica available if one chooses to look. But as I pointed out there are those who are either too lazy to do the research or don't know how to read studies. So they prefer to respond with name calling and other personal attacks since they love to argue but have nothing to back up their claims with. So the best they can hope for is that their belief of constantly attacking those who prove them wrong will drive those people away.

Father held in shooting death of daughter
The father of a 6-year-old girl who died Monday morning after being accidentally shot in the head has been arrested and is under investigation of first-degree manslaughter. He is currently being held in the Snohomish County Jail and bail has been set at $250,000.
Richard Peters, 42, of Tulalip, told investigators that he had consumed multiple double-vodkas when the Colt Double Eagle .45-caliber handgun he was cleaning discharged, striking his daughter Stormy in the head, according to documents from the Snohomish County Prosecutor's Office. The girl was airlifted to Children's Hospital in Seattle where she died early Monday. Snohomish County Sheriff's Deputies were called to the home on the 4500 block of 83rd Place NW at approximately 7:30 p.m., Sunday, after receiving a report of an accidental shooting.
According to the documents, Peters said he sent his daughter up to his room to get his gun. She brought the gun down, handed it to him and he took the magazine out. He then pulled the trigger and the gun went off.
On Monday, grief counselors were at Quil Ceda Elementary where Stormy was a first-grader. The Marysville School District sent a letter home with students Monday which stated, "The impact of this tragedy will be felt differently by each child. As a parent you will know best how to support the child as he/she works through the shock, grief and fears in facing death." The letter also including a list of tips to help the children and their families deal with the tragedy.
Members of the Marysville School Board spoke of the shooting at Monday night's regular meeting. "This is really a tragedy," said Board member Don Hatch. "Each and everyone of us will meet that little girl in heaven."

Sno-Isle system adopts Kindle
Sno-Isle Libraries has announced that its eBook collection is now compatible with the Amazon Kindle. Customers can download popular and classic eBooks to a Kindle device or any mobile device running the free Kindle app, such as the iPhone, iPad, Android and other devices.
Sno-Isle officials report the libraries' eBook and audiobook download service have steadily grown in popularity since its launch in 2005.
Previously, the downloads were only available for use on a PC or Mac computer and mobile devices such as a Smartphone, MP3 player, and eBook readers like the Barnes & Noble Nook and Sony Reader.
The library system can now add Kindle, the world's bestselling eBook reader, to the list.
"Kindle owners have been waiting for this for a long time," said librarian Jim McCluskey, who places orders for Sno-Isle's media collections. "It will be interesting to watch the growth in circulation as our customers find out that we have Kindle books."

A tendon contracture is when the
tendon in a leg joint is too tight and pulls the
joint tight. This is a self correcting condition
and is not associated with any deformity. It is
not "club foot," although as you can
see in this picture of a Korat kitten at birth,
the position into which the feet are pulled can
resemble the club foot position.
Tendon contractures in newborn kittens are a
somewhat common condition, and it is not yet known
exactly why they happen. I have had two kittens
with tendon contractures, both born to large litters.
It seems to be from the position of the kitten
in the womb, where perhaps the joint did not have
room to extend.
This condition has been studied more fully in
cattle and horses, where it is seen much more
frequently. There is little information available
to breeders and vets regarding treatment for it
in smaller domestic animals. This FAQ page will
hopefully be able to provide a reference for people
who come across this for the first time. If you
have had an experience with tendon contractures
and would like to contribute, please e-mail
or Not?
Some breeders have experiences that lead
them to believe the condition has a genetic influence,
although most who see this only see it once or twice in
their lives. The photo above and the ones below are of
the same Korat kitten, one of four kittens born with this
condition out of the same Korat stud and four different
females. This suggests an inherited condition, although
all four kittens corrected completely. (continued...)
I began this page when Twister was born,
when he was 10 weeks old I had another kitten born with
identicle contractures. The mother of the litter is the
full sibling of Twister's father. The new litter, born
6/13/02, was an accidental product of a father-daughter
breeding. If there is a genetic component to these kittens'
condition, then this situation certainly demonstrates
it. Here are pictures of Twister and the newborn kitten
side by side for comparison, the resemblance is obvious.
Twister's Story
Oriental Longhair kitten born with
tendon contractures in three joints.
This little guy was born with tendon contractures
in both front legs and the rear right leg. Notice how
the rear right leg appears twisted towards the center.
Both front "wrist" joints can not extend further
than a 90 degree angle. I named this little guy Twister,
an appropriate wind name for him I think. :) I will follow
his progress with his condition on this page as he grows.
Some kittens need gentle physical therapy or
splinting as they grow, and some correct on their own.
Twister's rear leg is already almost straight it 2 weeks
of age. The front feet are more flexible, but still not
able to extend fully.
In the picture on the right you can see
that he has his right rear leg in the proper position
underneath him. He is still walking mostly on his wrists
in the front, but can get his paws under him when he tries.
When they start walking he will be exercising this joint
more and the progress should pick up. He will start having
splints on for a few hours a day at three weeks. It has
been suggested that I use a heat compress first to loosen
the tendon, and my vet has agreed. I will take pictures
of what I come up with and document the relative success.
Here is little Twister at three weeks with his
first set of splints. They are made of a 1"x1/3"
piece of tongue depresser covered in gauze and help in
place with stretchy vet wrap. Twister has gotten used
to walking on his wrists, so despite the splints help
in straightening his legs, he is still struggling to walk
in them. They are encouraging him to put his paws underneath
him, but he gets very tired and rests a lot. Because of
this, I am only leaving the splints on for an hour, and
no more than twice a day for now. I also left his front
claws unclipped to give him as much traction as possible.
(As you can see, his rear leg has straightened completely.)
I am having trouble finding the right splint for Twister.
When I add a stiff brace (platic, wood or cardboard),
his paws swell. When I leave it out and do a soft wrap,
it slips above or below the bend and doesn't help much.
Everything seems to slip off.
Twister had a severe upper respiratory infection
at five weeks of age, which progressed to pneumonia by
six weeks. I almost lost him, but his little spirit didn't
give up and he pulled through. During this time, however,
I did not splint him at all. I didn't want to deter him
from the few feedings that he took on his own or stress
him further than necessary. I continued the physical therapy
and massaging, but he learned to walk on his wrists and
the inward bend in his right wrist became quite pronounced
because of this.
These pictures are at 7 weeks and he is
recovered completely from the URI, this is right before
I started splinting him again. As you can see, he was
walking on his outer toes only and the wrists are bent
inwards in addition to not fully extending. He did not
walk on his paw pads at all. Because of this he can not
really run, he kind of hops, and he can't climb or catch
a toy with his paws. :(
I finally found the right splint! It doesn't slip off,
his paws don't swell, and it is light enough that it doesn't
hinder his walking. This meant I could finally leave them
on for more than a few hours. He sulked and refused to
walk for the first night, but I resisted the cute kitten
face and left them on anyway. In the morning he as walking
like a champ, up on his paw pads for the first time! He
figured out that it was much easier and quicker, since
his feet didn't get caught underneath him. I let the kittens
out to play in the living room, and I saw Twister run
for the first time ever. He looked so happy, I nearly
cried. Even after just one night, the flexibility in his
wrists improved a great deal. He started to play like
a normal kitten, it was wonderful to see.
For each paw: cut one length of the gauze
wrap long enough to wrap around twice, from top of toes
to elbow. Wrap firmly but not tightly, only a slight stretching
of the material is needed. The 2" size is ideal,
no cutting required. Place the cardboard in the best position
to brace the contracture, and hold in place with a piece
of medical tape on the top and bottom. It is not necessary
to go all the way around the limb, but if you do make
sure it is not tight. Cover with a layer of vet wrap,
just enough to cover and protect the gauze. Again, be
careful not to wrap it tightly. This adds support, but
should not add too much weight.
Here's Twister on a break from his splints showing
off how he can walk on his paws now! He runs around and
chases his sisters, and loves to attack the little fuzzy
ball toys.
As you can see, he still buckles his right
ankle over without the brace, but does place his paw down
correctly. The left ankle can almost extend fully, the
right is showing a lot of improvement. The most important
step is that Twister has learned how to walk correctly
and will now be building the correct muscles and stretching
those tendons on his own. At this point the braces are
on at least half of the day with several long breaks.
I want to stretch those tendons but still force Twister
to build the muscles and use the joints. They make his
little legs itchy, so he really enjoys the massage he
gets when they come off. :) The physical therapy of course
is still very important.
Twister still has to wear a brace on his right
leg to keep his wrist from collapsing inwards when weight
is placed on it. It is only a soft wrap of vet-wrap, like
an ace bandage. Both legs can be flexed into a near normal
position, but only the right collapses.
As you can see from the pictures above,
I can hold the right wrist in a normal position. He can
sit with it fairly straight, but as soon as weight is
applied the joint can not hold it's position. I started
wrapping his right leg only for 12 hours at a time in
hopes that it will help him build muscles to hold it correctly.
The wrapping of his right leg worked very well
and within two days his leg was able to withstand weight
with only a little collapsing. Over the next week or so
it continued to bear more and more weight without collapsing.
Twister is visually corrected to about
98% at this point, although I can still feel a little
stiffness when manipulating his joints. They do not flex
quite as flat as they should, but I am confident that
they will get there. He walks, runs, jumps, and plays
Twister is 100% corrected with no more stiffness on his
joint. His right wrist can not be forced into an abnormal
position. He doesn't know anything ever was wrong with
him. :) He is now ready to find a wonderful loving pet
home who will cherish him as much as I do.
Twister went to his new home with Paula
and his new cat buddy Deisel. He's adjusted very well
and loving every minute of his little life!

The details of R3 Data Recovery were passed to me initially so I made contact and accepted the terms and conditions pertaining to the possible Recovery of my accidental erasure of images from my 2 GB Olympus picture card. The net result is that I received the card this afternoon and low and behold all my "lost" images have been restored.
I am still reeling in amazement at the miracle that the R3 team have performed on my deleted images. A wonderful job and result. A superb Recovery service – and friendly too!
Kind regards and best wishes to you and the team.
Cedric Wasser
Andy and Stewart from R3 responded very promptly to my initial Web enquiry and were able to give me an upfront cost (including any potential extras).
I sent in the failed/clicking hard disk and after a very short delay while a suitable donor drive was sourced, I was sent a list of the files that could be recovered. This was approved, so the data was restored to a USB hard drive which was despatched by courier for next day delivery.
I was kept informed of the progress along the way, the data recovery was very successful and I can only thank the team at R3 for their efficient and excellent service.
I can highly recommend the team at R3 Data Recovery to do a first class job within the time and budget they quote.
Dom S – Sutton
I am working in Kazakhstan. My hard drive suddenly failed leaving me with no access to vital info for my job. I contacted R3 to discuss. Hard drive was hand carried to UK by a colleague on a Thursday. He posted to R3 on overnight delivery. R3 had the data 100% recovered by Monday and it was sent out to another colleague who hand carried back to Kazakhstan for me. I had it back in my hands by Friday. A remarkable turn-around. R3 kept me fully informed as to how the work was progressing. An excellent company to deal with.
Chris Orthodoxou – Hounslow
The Leading Disaster Recovery Experts
Data Recovery Hospital recover hundreds of failed storage devices every month. The processes developed by the company achieve economies of scale and cost effective service but with access to the very best data recovery engineers your data has greater chance of being recovered and more of the files being in a working condition.
A file list and integrity check report of the recovered data shows the actual data recovered before taking payment not just a file system list of what might be recoverable.
Data up to 20GB can be sent by secure download and bulk data is sent back on new branded drives which carry their manufacturers warranty.
The image drive created as part of the recovery and any uploads are securely wiped to prevent risk of contaminating the next case / for data protection.
It is important though to learn from the mistake of not backing up. Although we do have repeat clients most are IT Support providers managing their clients / users hardware.
You know the scenario… hard drive fails, you didn't get around to backing up your files. Sods law it's jammed full of data you can't replace and you have a deadline looming with in hours.
Andy Butler and his team came to the rescue, quite literally! Data back on our desktops within 48hrs (and its a bank holiday!).
We won't forget and we can't recommend more highly! Many, many thanks!
My apple computer completely gave up and I faced the horrible prospect of losing all my photos and films of my family. I contacted r3 and we went over everything that I wanted recovered in detail, I am not someone who is great with technology but they were really patient.
The communication betweent me and r3 was exceptional. They gave me daily updates about what was going on and as soon as they had recovered the data they took the time to go over again in great detail how to view my lost data before returning it back to me.In particular Mr. Wainwright took a great deal of his time to help me go over my lost data, being on the other end of the phone at a moments notice.
I couldn't be happier with the quality of the service and I would seriously advise anyone to use them. Do not worry if you have no idea about technology, they talk everything through with you. It is expensive but I personally believe every penny was well spent, especially counting up the hours of help I was given. Thank you very much, a very happy customer.
Kerry Rix – Truro
R3 successfully recovered all my data off a full 2TB external hard drive. I had thousands and thousands of files on the drive including important still and video shots of leaping salmon. I was told of the costs from the outset and was kept informed by friendly and knowledgeable staff every step of the way. Although the price was more than I would have liked to pay, the fact that I got all my data back meant it was good value for money. Exceptional service, thank you!
Dewi – Welshpool
Much like everyone else who have left reviews, I too embraced the "It won't happen to me attitude". Unfortunately it did but when the s**t did hit the fan R3 were there to help me in my time of need. I consulted a handful of top end data recovery experts and R3 were the only ones to get back to me within the hour and via friendly phone call not a generic copy paste email. Straight from the offset all my concerns were put at ease. The whole process was so efficient from start to finish and you are kept up to date via email at every single stage. The whole thing was complete in a matter of days it was absolutely brilliant and I would have no quarms about recommending their service to others.
Lots of people on here have included the cost of the service as part of their review however in my opinion its completely irrelevant and completely subjective as you cant put a value on sentimental data. Absolute 10/10 thanks very much to everyone I was in contact with and those whom aided my recovery behind the scenes.
Rich Pen – Barking
I am an Apple developer and I owe a massive thanks to R3 Data Recovery who saved my precious data when my Western Digital My Book 2 TB drive crashed on me, which is why I decided to write this review.
Everything was smooth sailing from start to finish, for me anyway as I knew my drive would be in safe hands. Andy sent a courier to collect my drive which was promptly collected the following day, even though my second contact when I had finally made my decision to go with R3 Data Recovery was on a Sunday at very early hours, Andy emailed me back straight away as he was still working on another job, impressed, I was.
I whole heartedly recommend R3 Data Recovery to anyone who is of need of data recovery, and would urge you to look nowhere else for the sake of your data and your sanity. In my humble opinion R3 Data Recovery are more than specialists they are genuine professionals.
Shane Hogan
Firstly, I truly thought all my data was lost (work and private). But, I would like to thank your company and Andy Butler for the excellent service you gave me for the data recovery from my corrupted NESO (HITACHI) External 500Gb HDD in terms of:
• The speed of action
• Going over and above what is expected in terms of customer service
• Ensuring that I received the software the same day even that the server had experienced some technical difficulties!
Having reviewed the data that I saved from my drive, I found all of the data in there that would have been lost forever. I can only all heartedly recommend your services to everybody after what I have experienced. It is re-assuring to know that there are still companies and people out there that take their work seriously and are prepared to help other people in their hour of need! Once again a MASSIVE thank you for all your help, without you I would have been in deep trouble with work and would have lost lots of very valuable and irreplaceable memories forever!
Tasso Papadopoulos – Registered Hearing Aid Audiologist
Andy Butler was incredibly knowledgable, helpful, swift and professional. He kept me uptodate with the recovery process and returned my data quickly. This service was extremely reasonable compared to other quotes I received. I would recommend this company to colleagues, friends and family.
Rev Annie Kirke – Church of England, Diocese of London
Emergency Recovery Over The Holidays
On Friday 19th of December at 22:46 an enquiry was received for the emergency recovery of a RAID 0 Integrated Samsung SSD within a Sony Vaio. Within 30 minutes of the enquiry Andy had a driver collecting the drive from Hemel Hempstead area and brought in with several other emergencies throught the evening right up to 2am Saturday morning.
Despite the high end laptop needing disassembly the SSD was extracted and imaging of the memory banks commenced early Saturday by in house Data Recovery engineer Martin. The recovery was completed and despatched by dedicated driver Sunday. A subsequent permissions issue accessing two of the folders within the recovered data was then corrected remotely by Andy.
The appreciative client took the time to send the following e-card after a request for a review of the R3 Data Recovery Service.. (click here to see the e-card)

GWAR frontman Oderus Urungus has commented on the election of President Barack Obama to a second term Tuesday, saying that "it's about time that a different color took over." Speaking to Rock Hard Live before the band's concert last night (November 6) at Ace Of Spades in Sacramento, California, Oderus said (see video below), "I'm fucking sick of white-ass, motherfucking rich people running this fucking country. I'm from Antarctica, but anyone could tell you the days of George Washington are way over. The United States Of America, as much as it is 'the land of the free and the home of the brave,' we did drop two atomic bombs on innocent people, we committed genocide on Native Americans and we built our economy up with slavery. And it's about time that a different color took over, I think. I think white people everywhere are very scared tonight, and I'm really stoked about that."
In a recent interview with the OC Weekly, Oderus stated about this year's presidential election, "I don't know if I want to vote. But I will vote, with my bronze sword. I can tell you that both candidates will be put to death at our show, and we will sew them into one that has the worst policies of both. Where we come from, there is no voting. We settle all of our differences with gladiatorial combat. I am not really backing this whole political process. The only reason we have politicians on our planet, is so they can be crucified. Everything is solved through wars. No debates, no campaigns, no stickers no ballot boxes, and no White House. And the only poll is a huge long pole made of scalding hot red iron."

Volunteers Needed to Build Living Shoreline in Mobile Bay
April 6, 2013 · Pelican Point, Baldwin County, Alabama
WHO: 100-1000: Restore Coastal Alabama
WHAT: The second major volunteer reef building event for the 100-1000: Restore Coastal Alabama partnership is happening on April 6, 2013. Volunteers are needed to build the next 4 reefs. To date, combined efforts and funding have resulted in 2.07 miles toward the goal of building 100 miles of reefs and protecting and restoring 1000 acres of coastal marsh and seagrass.
This habitat restoration project offers citizens an excellent opportunity to actively engage in Gulf Coast restoration.
WHERE: Pelican Point, Baldwin County, Alabama, northern tip of Weeks Bay.
10299 County Road 1, Fairhope, AL 36535
WHEN: Saturday, April 6, 2013 - 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 pm CST.
WHY: Volunteers will deploy 20,500 interlocking blocks to create four reefs at Pelican Point, an area that has experienced significant habitat loss and erosion that in turn has negatively impacted the very resources that draw residents to the area and support local economies. Once constructed, the reefs will protect the adjacent shoreline and enhance habitat for fish, shellfish and birds, providing opportunities for fishing, bird watching and sightseeing from land, kayak or boat.
Funding for this project is made possible through grants from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Southeast Aquatic Resources Partnership and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation.
About 100-1000: Restore Coastal Alabama
In 2010, four leading conservation organizations — Alabama Coastal Foundation, Mobile Baykeeper, The Nature Conservancy and The Ocean Foundation — formed a partnership to address not only the environmental impacts of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, but also years of damage from pollution, storms, development practices and erosion along the Alabama coast. The Partnership has grown to include 40 partners and supporting members.
