Our heart care professionals provide life-saving, state-of-the-art emergency care to heart patients that come through our doors 24/7.
Getting heart attack victims the treatment they need as quickly as possible is the reason behind Riverside Methodist Hospital's emergency alert system. This alert system for patients with ST-elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI) has dramatically cut the time to treatment for thousands of patients and has proven to save lives. And Riverside Methodist is one of only five hospitals in the nation to have in-house heart attack physicians on staff five out of seven nights a week.
Riverside Methodist's STEMI Alert system notifies our physicians of an incoming heart attack victim before the patient even reaches the hospital doors. As a result, Riverside Methodist Hospital's time between a patient's arrival and emergency treatment is well below the national average. In fact, Riverside Methodist's average door to balloon time, or door to angioplasty or stent placement is 53 minutes, compared to the national goal of 90 minutes.
In cases of cardiac arrest, emergency staff stabilize a patient's heart to contain damage to the heart muscle. The team uses a body cooling therapy called Therapeutic Hypothermia, to bring down the core body temperature. This technique aims to reduce other organ damage and slow brain cell death that could lead to permanent neurological impairment. OhioHealth Riverside Methodist Hospital is one of the few hospitals in the country to use this life-saving technique.
Grant Medical Center has maintained verification as a Level I Trauma Center by the American College of Surgeons since 1993. As the busiest adult Level I Trauma Center in Ohio, Grant Trauma provides care to thousands of seriously injured patients regardless of severity or complexity. Multidisciplinary response teams are available 24 hours a day to assess and stabilize patients in the trauma room.
Doctors is an accredited Chest Pain Center, a designation earned for quality of care, integration with area emergency squads, efficiency of diagnosis and treatment and effective and appropriate treatment that bring the best in heart care to you and your family.

Wade: Astros not interested in Glavine
Astros general manager Ed Wade said Wednesday the club doesn't have any interest in signing veteran lefthander Tom Glavine, who was released by the Atlanta Braves earlier in the day.
Glavine, a 305-game winner, signed a $1 million contract with the Braves in February and he would have received another $1 million when he was added to the 25-man roster.
"Probably not," Wade said when asked if the Astros had interest in Glavine. "We think at this point if the five guys we have continue to throw well, and plus we've got (Brandon) Backe and (Russ) Ortiz in the bullpen and we've got (Bud) Norris and (Yorman) Bazardo throwing very well at Triple-A. I doubt we would have any interest in that regard."
The five pitchers currently in the Astros' rotation are Roy Oswalt, Wandy Rodriguez, Brian Moehler, Mike Hampton and Felipe Paulino.
9 Comments
I agree, Tom Glavin would be another "been there done that" pitcher. BUT……Miggy wants to stay here! Did ya
hear that Drayton??? THE MAN WANTS TO STAY IN HOUSTON! DO NOT TRADE HIM!
I figured the White Sox would make a push for Glavine since they've been in the market for starting pitching lately.
I'm with you b2too! Miggy is a huge asset to this team!! No matter how well we are or are not playing at times, Miggy is always sure to put a smile on your face, and I've never seen him give less than 100%! We need that kind of spirit and dedication both on the field and in the dugout. I HOPE YOU'RE LISTENING DRAYTON!!!!!!!
"Probably not…I doubt …." These don't sound entirely like "definitely not, no way" to me. Remember how many times Wade said we weren't after Pudge?
With his recent hitting spree, Miggy's about as valuable as he can get, trade-wise. But I agree – if the man wants to stay in Houston, don't trade him. And DO NOT trade Pence!
I realize that Valverde is hurt, but if he comes back strong, does he have any trade worth?
The last thing the Astros need to do is add another pitcher to the bullpen. They need to put Brandon Backe back in the starting rotation.
I mean can we get any young talent from another team…not a pitcher…
Brian- great job on the video chat. It was a good way to "get to know ya" if you will.
What about Peavy… Why hasn't ed wade gone after him… Peavy will make $11 million in 2009. The new money kicks in in 2010, when he'll make $15 million. He'll earn $16 million in 2011 and $17 million in 2012.

The U.S. Coast Guard said today that BP has completed cleanup work in Alabama, Florida and Mississippi following the company's massive 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
The milestone comes three years after the April 20, 2010 catastrophe on the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig sent millions of gallons of oil spewing in the Gulf. BP said that the announcement "is the result of the extraordinary progress made cleaning the Gulf of Mexico shoreline."
The Coast Guard said it was concluding "active cleanup operations" in the three Gulf coast states, but that the work continues along 84 miles of Louisiana's shoreline.
"This is another important step towards meeting our goal of returning the shoreline to as close to pre-spill conditions as possible while managing the scale of the response to meet conditions on the ground," said Capt. Duke Walker, Federal On-Scene Coordinator for the Deepwater Horizon Response.
Walker said the Coast Guard will continue responding to reports of oil that washes up anywhere along the Gulf Coast. BP said in a statement that it will take responsibility for removing any oil that came from its blown-out Macondo well.
U.S. Rep. Jo Bonner, R-Mobile, said BP must still be held accountable for the damage it caused.
"This decision by the company doesn't change the fact that BP remains liable for future clean-up expenses and there is no reason to believe that Alabama coastal officials will need to look to anyone else if - and when - the situation arises," Bonner said.
Coastal environmental leaders said local waterways continue to be affected by the disaster, and that cleanup efforts will likely continue for years to come.
"Much as we all want this to go away, oil continues to wash up on Alabama's shores and it must be removed," said Casi Callaway, executive director of Mobile Baykeeper. "Paying for it must remain BP's responsibility."
Callaway said the end of formal cleanup operations "puts the onus on citizens" to be vigilant and report any oil on Alabama shores.
"It (also) puts the onus on Alabama, the Coast Guard and the National Response Center to get it cleaned up and figure out who is going to pay for the cleanup," Callaway said.
David White, director of the National Wildlife Federation's Gulf of Mexico Restoration Campaign, said as much as one million barrels of oil from the catastrophe remains unaccounted for, and tar mats and tar balls from the Macondo well continue to wash up on the coast.
"Regardless of how our shorelines are monitored, BP must be held accountable for the cleanup," White said. "We cannot just accept oiled material on our beaches and in our marshes as the 'new normal.' In particular, we need be sure that there is a rapid and proactive assessment and cleanup of our shorelines in the aftermath of storms."
The British oil giant said it has spent more than $14 billion on response and cleanup activities, with more than 48,000 people involved in those efforts at the height of the spill's aftermath.
The cleanup by BP contractors ended last Friday in Alabama, on June 1 in Florida and on May 1 in Mississippi, according to company spokesman Jason Ryan.
BP said it would continue to remove any oil determined to have come from the Macondo well.
"We have worked with the Coast Guard and other stakeholders to prepare for this transition and will maintain the resources necessary to respond when directed by the Coast Guard," said Laura Folse, BP's Executive Vice President for Response and Environmental Restoration. "Transitioning to the National Response Center process will reduce our footprint on the shoreline, which will further minimize disruptions to the environment and to beach and park visitors."
Sightings of oil can be reported to the National Response Center by calling 1-800-424-8802 or filing a report online by clicking here.

The second installment in Jonathan Holt's Carnivia trilogy, "The Abduction" is out as the author sets his pen to target the war on terror and the use of "enhanced interrogation techniques." (HarperCollins/458 pages)
Col. Aldo Piola of the Venice Carabinieri is summoned to investigate human remains found during construction on an American base. The skeleton was that of Max Ghimenti, a communist partisan thought to have been killed by the Germans during the last days of the Second World War.
Things become even more difficult for the Venetian Carabinieri when Piola's subordinate and former lover, Captain Kat Tapo, is recruited by Second Lieutenant Holly Boland to help find the young daughter of an American officer who has gone missing after visiting a swinger's club.
Article Photos
The 16-year-old girl has been snatched by a militant group, Azione Dal Molin, who are opposed to the expansion of an American base. The kidnappers have access to Carnivia, the computer generated world that is the creation of hacker Daniele Barbo, and they broadcast sessions of the "enhanced interrogation" of their hostage, Mia Elston using the same techniques perfected by the CIA.
Holt lets his reader know that there can be no doubt that "enhanced interrogation" is simply torture by another name.
With an appreciation of Italian history and culture, Holt makes a case for the proposition that "Italy was the battleground where the Cold War was fought."
There is historical evidence that the Roman Catholic Church and CIA collaborated to create a left of center party (the Christian Democrats) as a counter to the communist party which was active in Northern Italy as a means to limit the Iron Curtain to Yugoslavia and keep Italy within the Western sphere of influence.
That Giovanni Montini (the future Pope Paul VI) was an ardent anti-communist is well known, which serves as fodder for the author's imagination and the "secret" documents referred to in this work.
The current war on terror has an ugly side which takes the form in alliances with drug lords, extradition and imprisonment without trial, and torture, which the author describes in this eye opening political thriller.
Although it might seem minor compared to the human tragedies of war, this reader wishes that the cuisine of Venice might entertain more vegetarian dishes. How can anyone consider the gentle donkey or noble horse a delicacy? Seriously, one should serve eggplant not equus with the pasta.
In his first two chapters of the Carnivia trilogy, Holt has exposed the exploitation of women and the dark side of the war on terror, which leads one to wonder what secrets and scandals of the Veneto region will be unearthed in his final chapter?

New Jersey isn't exactly the easiest place to be a female surfer. Cold water, heavy waves, and a hardcore local surf scene are all pretty intimidating for newcomers, so the Garden State has decidedly less wahines than places like Florida, California, Hawaii, or Australia. But that's not to say that there isn't still a strong women's surfing community. And New Jersey clothing company Jetty does its part each year to ensure that community continues to grow and flourish by bringing everyone together for a little bonding and friendly competition at the annual Coquina Jam.
This year's edition went down on August 3rd at the Taylor Avenue beach in Beach Haven, NJ, and 32 ladies showed up ready to rip, though the conditions were less than favorable. The waves were more dribbling than pumping, and the skies were overcast, but the fact that all proceeds from the event benefited David's Dream & Believe Cancer Foundation — and went straight to local breast cancer patients — was enough to brighten everyone's day. And now that the final tally is in, everyone who took part in the Coquina Jam can hold their heads high, knowing that they helped to raise more than $7,500 this year alone.
As far as the competition itself goes, the Coquina Jam is a bracket-style tournament designed to strengthen the bonds between New Jersey's female surfers by bringing women of different generations together through the random pairing of each younger surfer with a more experienced surfer. These teams of two then face off against each other in the bracket system. This year, the final teams left standing were 15-year-old Taylor Herman and teammate Beth Mann, 46, and 16-year-old globe-trotter Selena Moberly and her teammate, 26-year-old Brittany Gomulka. The competition was stiff, and all the ladies stayed busy, surfing a combined total of 24 waves throughout the final, but in the end, Moberly and Gomulka were awarded the Coquina Jam trophy. There was certainly no love lost though, as Herman told Jetty that the experience of getting to know some of her peers was rewarding enough.
"This was my first time at the event," she said. "I think it's so cool to have so many women of all ages." And that's really the entire point. The Coquina Jam is all about strengthening bonds: getting a few girls together to share stories and waves while helping out a good cause. And it must be working. Because each year, the event just seems to get bigger and bigger. So, until next year, ladies, keep reppin' it loud and proud for the Garden State.

Last week, the Democrat Chairman, Rep. Debbie Wasserman, was outed for driving an Infiniti while denouncing Republicans for not supporting American auto unions. Today, she claims that Republicans "think that illegal immigration should be a crime". Yes, she's really that stupid, and the Democrats have her. Imagine if she were a conservative Republican from Alaska.

Fanfare for the common man
Number of government owned limos soar under Obama regime. Up 73% and climbing. I seem to recall that Nixon took eight people with him when he first went to China. Now such trips require a cast of thousands. How come?

Snail mail
So once again the USPS is bankrupt and demanding billions in additional subsidies to continue. Here are some fun facts about this obsolete organization:
80% its budget goes for salaries and benefits, compared to 61% UPS, 43% FedEx
$41 per hour average union pay vs. $28 private sector
No layoffs, per contract
31,000 branch offices (more than McDonalds, Walmart and Starbucks combined). 80% of all branches lose money.

We'll wait on this one
This failed Antares project on Langhorne either has 16,000 sq. feet above ground and an 8,000 sq. foot basement, if you believe the tax card, or 26,000 sq. ft. if you go by its listing. Your pick. The current owner picked it up, unfinished, for $13 million and change back in '08 and while some of us thought he grossly overpaid for the place, he went ahead and finished it and now has it listed for sale for $25 million, down from $28.

Al Gore, call your office – please!
W.H.O. : cellphones cause cancer. According to the WHO, everything causes cancer, so I'm not too worried about this latest scare report (have you ever wondered why, if everything we eat, breath and wear is so dangerous, average life expectancy keeps increasing?) Still, if it keeps just one mommy in her SUV off her goddamned phone, I'm all for it. My guess is that this won't decrease phone usage but do watch for an increase in those toxic flush specials at the ladies' local gyms.

Fringe areas continue to get whacked
This house in (near?) the Baliwick section sold as new construction in 2000 for $2.550 million. In 2007 it was re-listed at $4.149 and has been for sale ever since, dropping slowly until it hit $2.890 a few months ago. It's reported as under contract today and I wouldn't be surprised if it goes for just about its 2000 price.

This one seems reasonable
21 Verona Drive (off Lockwood Rd) in Riverside has sold for $2,167,500. That's down quite a bit from its 2006 ask of $2.795 and, for this street, I think it's a decent price. The house was partially renovated in 2005 (I think that was the date) and, although there's still work that could be done, what has been completed looks good. And Verona, besides being a quiet dead-end street, has had a couple of large, expensive houses go up, so the street itself is improving (in terms of price – it's already a nice street). I think the buyers did well on this one.

My 10-month-old DS breastfeeds while we are together. While at daycare he drinks breast milk I pump at work from bottles. He eats three meals a day and drinks water from sippy cup. My question is that he only drinks 4oz maybe 5oz at a time, he never has wanted to drink 8oz. Other babies drink 8oz at this age. Is this typical of breatfeed/breastmilk feed babies?
Thank you!

suzhou Travel Guide
Location: west to Shanghai.
Area: a total area of 8488 square kilometers.
Population: 6,297,50
Being a neighbor of the international metropolis-Shanghai, the ancient city Suzhou has been developing really fast in recent years. Booming not only in economy and finance, the tourism in Suzhou has been greatly promoted as well. In the section, ShanghaiFocus will provide you with all-round and useful information as your guide when traveling in Suzhou.
What to do in Suzhou
Hundreds of Suzhou gardens, celebrated food streets as well as bars and teahouses spring up , being another main point appealing to tourists. Stamped with traditional Suzhou styles, Suzhou Garden is a must-visit spot that should be added on your list. Such yummy delicacies as Squirrel-shaped mandarin fish, Jiaohuazi (beggar's ) chicken, Sweet dried bean etc. enjoy great reputation both home and abroad. While reputable specialties like Biluochun Tea, Song Brocade, Suzhou embroidery along with Taicang dried meat floss are the best gifts for travelers to bring to their families, relatives and friends. If you want to experience the real Suzhou culture and custom, the teahouse is a must-go place, as a variety of famous Chinese Green Teas and the local Pintan are available here.
Suzhou Transportation
Transportation in Suzhou is accessible and quite convenient. Suzhou is in possession of a large public transportation network and average daily passenger volume. The means of transportation are various from buses, taxis to trains and ships by which tourists can easily travel around Suzhou or the neighbor towns and cities. However, if you prefer to travel by air, you have to go to Shanghai or Wuxi since it does not possess its own airport. But do not worry, frequent daily bus can easily send you to these cities, which takes you only a small amount of time.
Weather and Best Visiting Time
Located in the lower reach of Yangtze River, Suzhou enjoys the subtropical ocean monsoon climate which is fairly warm and humid, with four seasons distinct. The spring and autumn is shorter while the summer and winter is a little longer. As the average temperature is about 16 degrees, the winter in Suzhou is also comfortable,so it is a hot destination for tourists all year round. Especially, from April to October, the garden city is green and covered with blooming flowers. Strolling the city during this time, you can't help acclaiming the city as"heaven on earth".
Editor's words
When paying the visit in Suzhou, do remember to bring your camera to Kodak your wonderful journey here. Since Suzhou is well policed, safety will not be a big problem here but do keep an eye of your own property as some minor thefts will still happen from time to time. In China, you can call 110(like 911 in US) to inform police and ask for help.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

The defensive tackle out of Auburn is happy to join last year's star defensive lineman (and defensive rookie of the year) Ndamukong Suh in Detroit. He says he wants to pick his teammates' brains, especially guys like Kyle Vanden Bosch, Corey Williams and Suh, for as much information as he can that will help him adapt to the NFL.
That might be easier said than done. An federal appellate court overruled a judge's order that the league owners lift their player lockout. So the lockout is back, and there's no telling when the two sides will resolve their impasse.
None of the labor drama mattered last Friday, though, when the Lions brought Fairley in to introduce him to fans and media. Despite what some thought was an unpleasant look on his face after the commissioner called his name, Fairley is happy he's headed to the Motor City.
"(The draft) was a great experience," he said, "a great moment. I'm blessed to be part of the Detroit Lions now. Now I'm ready to come in and get some work done."
And no hard feelings about slipping a bit to the No. 13 spot?
"No, not at all," he said. "Like I said, you never know what's going to happen on draft day, so for the Lions to come out and pick me there was a blessing.
"Y'know, I'm just going to come in and work my butt off and try to earn everything I can. We'll see what happens from there."

"I really love how the menu cards turned out. The quick service for the proofs and speedy delivery was amazing. With all the planning that goes into one day, it's nice to have a company provide a smooth transaction and have a sale!"
"I loved the whole falling petal series from invitations, menus card, reception etc. It was exactly what I was looking for. The service they gave me was outstanding, email reminder, phone calls etc. My invites were extra long and my menu was a 5 course and they adjusted the layout for me. I want to order it all over again!!!! Thank you for making my wedding stationary look so pretty!!"
"It was easy to match the style of my weddding to the style of the product - and it turned out great! My expectations were more than met once I recieved my order in the mail. I ordered enough menus for every other plate, not realizing how popular they would be. After my wedding, a few friends and family members were sad that they couldn't get their hands on one to take home (one of them included me!)"

The long awaited Kindle app for BlackBerry is finally here. While not the biggest screen to read on, most of us carry our BlackBerry everywhere we go, so being able to read a book at any given moment is definitely welcome. The app has a fair amount of features (it could still use a few more options) and everything loads super fast. You can store and read Kindle books, as well as browse and purchase from the huge selection in the Kindle Store. Check out the video above for a look at the app, and head to amazon.com/kindlebb to download it free.
how excited i was to read about the free kindle download for the blackberry! then i see that it's not available for my curve 8530. what gives? now i'm new to blackberry, but after comparing the curve 8520 (for which the kindle is available) and the 8530 (for which it's not) they seem like the exact same phone to me except for the gps availability.

Blasphemy under Islam is the prohibition of the truth. There must be enforced silence about Moe and Islam in order to keep tens of millions under the boot. Every truthful reference to Muhammad or Islam is met with a death penalty. That's how powerful the truth is, and how afraid Islamic supremacists and sharia enforcers are of it.
There is that, and also the Islamic pattern to use sharia laws as retribution against innocent people.
And why, in news reports, is Muhammad referred to as "the prophet Muhammad"? Is every reporter a Muslim? He ain't my prophet.
Bangladesh arrest warrant over 'blasphemous' book By AFPPublished: June 5, 2012
Court issues warrant for writer of novel allegedly containing insulting remarks against Prophet Mohammed (PBUH).
DHAKA: A Bangladeshi court has issued an arrest warrant for the writer of a 2003 novel that allegedly contains insulting remarks against the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH), a lawyer said Tuesday.
The court in Dhaka issued the order in response to a petition from a Muslim activist accusing author Salam Azad of hurting religious sentiment in his banned book "Bhanga Math" ("Broken Temple").
"We told the court that the book contained slanderous remarks against the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) and Islam. The judge accepted the petition and issued a warrant of arrest," the petitioner's lawyer Ekhlas Uddin told AFP.
Dhaka police confirmed the warrant.
Azad told AFP the case was part of a smear campaign against him launched by a senior official from the ruling Awami League party.
"I became his target after I protested his grabbing of Hindu property. He has already filed a case against me," he said.
Azad, 48, said the book, published in the eastern Indian city of Kolkata, was banned for blasphemy by the Bangladeshi government in 2004.
The book is alleged to contain insulting remarks about the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) and the Quran.
In May, Bangladesh banned a novel by popular writer Humayun Ahmed for allegedly distorting how the nation's first president and his family were murdered in 1975.

Soldertec Global, a company that does testing for the electronics industry, has launched a RoHS reliability assessment service that is designed to combine the strength of an expert UK consultant and an independent laboratory. The service has modular components that allow OEMs to select an assessment package that targets individual needs.
The on-site consultancy includes a capability audit that includes board procurement, review of assembly processes, inspection of solder joints and handling of warranty returns. The testing begins by examining the structure of the solder joints using X-ray inspection and scanning electron microscope images, but it can also be extended to investigate accelerated life testing and the effect of vibration, utilizing a range of instruments and techniques available at the Soldertec laboratory.
"The RoHS reliability service allows manufacturing companies to support their RoHS process capabilities with a report from an independent laboratory and a full day consultancy service from one of the industry's best-known soldering engineers, Bob Willis of EPS," says Tom Perrett, marketing manager at Soldertec. "The reassurance that comes from the report and the advice given enables companies to progress knowing that they are building their lead-free manufacturing developments on firm foundations."

Product Description
Telomere Health
Straight from our book, The Immortality Edge, the Telomere Edge Packs are designed to help you
Don't just live longer… live better!
Defn.: "Lifespan" how long you live.
Defn.: "Healthspan" how much of your life is spent in health and vitality.
Defn. : "Telomere" The biologic fuse or time clock that determines how long most cells will live.
Defn.: "Telomerase" (Telomere-reverse-transcriptase) activation of the enzyme is the only known way to safely regenerate the length of the biologic fuse or time clock.
Purpose of the Telomere Edge Packs: support maximum telomere health and slow down telomere loss:
Chronologic age: how old you are in years Biologic age: how old your body "behaves" determined in a large part, by the length and health of your telomeres
I have been writing newsletters for just about 15 years now and on more than one occasion, I have told the story of my Dad. I spoke about how amazing he was, as a human being and a doctor and of course as a personal role model.
In the story of his death I also mentioned how much I wish I had known then what I know now.
It has probably been 5 years since I wrote that email to my readers. Little did I know then just how far we would come in those five short years.
One of the biggest discoveries of course has related to the understanding of the telomere part of our genetic code.
We now know it to be our "biologic time clock". And even though it's only been one year since the Nobel Prize was awarded to the pioneers in the field (Blackburn, Stostak and Greider), the research in the field has exploded. Actually that is an understatement. It's been more like the magnitude of the "BIG BANG"
I often wish my Dad were here to read our book, The Immortality Edge, and take my newest product The Telomere Edge Packs. He is not, but he still gives a great example of "Healthspan". Dad lived to be just shy of 80 and worked as a doctor in his office, doing what he loved, until 3 weeks before he passed. He was in full control of his life and lived and loved every second of it until then. When he got sick, he did so the way he did everything: full tilt.
He did not linger long, nor did he suffer long.
In truth, that is what most people want. And yet there is so much more to offer.
No longer do you have to be captive to your genetic predispositions. No longer do you have to suffer from the same things your parents did, only to die infirm, a few years after they did.
The secret lies in controlling how fast your biologic fuse, the telomere, is burning down.
You see, at some point, when the telomere gets too short you've burned out your fuse and your time clock strikes 12 and stops ticking! Now you don't turn into a pumpkin like Cinderella but your cells stop working and you get sick and eventually (soon after) you die.
So how do you stop or at least slow down the "burn rate" of those fuses?
Well, our book, The Immortality Edge tells you everything in step wise fashion Make sure you get it and read it!!!!
In that book, among some other things, there is an extensive section on supplements. The book describes 3 separate phases or levels of supplemental intervention you can take. Almost within 24 hours, people were clamoring for me to provide those stages to them.
Well my friend, the first stage is here, and it's known as The Telomere Edge Pack (phase 1). This pack contains the exact routine described in "The Immortality Edge" book and even a little bit more.
You see, a book is static thing. My contributions to the book were actually written way back in early 2010 and a few things have changed, as you might expect. I took the opportunity to really load this Pack up with most of the things that will slow down telomere degradation and thus slow down how fast you burn out your biologic time clock.
It's really that simple, as the science has shown us and continues to show us more and more every day. Long Telomeres= better health and a much higher likely hood of living longer. Even people who already have a diagnosis like heart disease, benefit from longer telomeres. They get sick less, they take fewer meds, they wind up in the hospital less and they live longer!. The same is true of most other illnesses that have been studied.
Cancer is a disease of short telomeres.
Heart disease is a disease of short telomeres.
Diabetes and Alzheimer's causes short telomeres and so on and so forth.
Now, if I came out and said longer telomeres will make you live longer I would not be wrong. If I came out and told you I could help you have the longest telomeres possible, I would not be wrong. But I f I told you that taking any supplement including my own would cure an illness, make you live longer or healthier, I would wind up in jail.
So all I can say it sure looks that way! And leave the rest up to you.
I have published extensive newsletters and blogs and off site comments on other blogs numbering in the dozens, in addition to the book, so I have a wealth of information and research on the topic.
So what might you expect from slower telomere loss?
- A longer life
- A healthier Life
- A stronger Immune System
- A stronger sex drive
- Improved skin
- Lower body fat
- Better tolerance to sugar and cholesterol
- Less aches and pains
- More energyTo name just a few.
And that, my friend, is exactly what I designed the Telomere Edge Packs for. And while I cannot make those claims because of the laws surrounding supplements I can tell you that I take the Telomere Edge Packs every day for that reason. I want to do everything I can to slow down the loss of my telomere segments and live the longest, healthiest life possible. After all, what is the point of living long if you are not vital, healthy and excited by every new day and loving life!
Now many of you have already read the book and read all or most of my newsletters and comments, AND you have been asking about theTelomere Edge Packs and wondering when they would be ready.
Sorry for the delay, but great things take a little time.
The good news is they're here now! And for a limited time, I am offering them at an introductory price which will have to go up in the next 60 days. In addition, I am offering some one-of-a-kind combo deals with the Telomere Edge Packs and my Multi vites and Cardio Booster, allowing people to save over $60 off retail while supplies last.

1) Do they work with other things and why do some of the ingredients look familiar?
You may have noticed that some but not all of the ingredients are found in some of my other products. This is primarily because MY STUFF WORKS!!! You may have been benefitting unknowingly for quite some time now. If you are a long time customer you may have been on fish oil, Multi's and Cardio Boost for years and reaping some of the benefits we just now found are linked to the health of the telomere. I would love to tell you I was clairvoyant and prescient and "knew" that many of the things I was making would be active at the telomere but no one could have until the last 9 months or so. But that is good news for you.
You also have to realize that there are tons of new people joining me now because of the book "The Immortality Edge" and my standing in the telomere world. Let's face it, everyone wants to live long and healthy lives. So, many of the new folks have not been exposed to me or my products and need to start from scratch with a "telomere specific supplement". The best news is, the Telomere Edge Packs will not interfere with other supplements of mine you may be taking.
2) Is this like TA-65? Does it turn on telomerase and lengthen telomeres?
My Telomere Edge Packs actually contain several supplements (about 5 actually) that have been reported to "turn on telomerase" in lab studies using mice or human cell culture lines. Still I am not going to make this claim, unless and until the Telomere Edge Packs are tested in human beings. Until then it breaks down this way: The Telomere Edge Packs are designed to slow down telomere loss.
BE CAREFUL though! There are already a bunch of bogus supplements that claim to turn on telomerase and lengthen your telomeres without one shred of proof at all! Worse, there are going to be more of them as more and more people read our book The Immortality Edge.
My Telomere Edge Packs are straight out of the extensive research I did to write my parts of that book and in the reference section, you will find article after article justifying the use of the ingredients in the Telomere Edge Packs.
If you haven't read the book you really need to!
3) Do the Telomere Edge Packs turn on telomerase?
Is there anything dangerous about taking these packs? The only possible problem is if you have a fish allergy, as they (surprise surprise!!!) do contain fish oil!
How do the Telomere Edge Packs compare with TA-65? The Telomere Edge Packs are completely different. Again, even though several of the ingredients have research papers behind them that say they turn on telomerase, I think it is more appropriate to describe the IE pack as "things that slow down telomere loss by inhibiting the main causes of aging we talked about in our book "The Immortality Edge" oxidation, glycation and improved methylation.
4) Why would someone want to take both and why should they even consider it?
Telomere health is a function of two basic processes when it comes to supplements. First there is creating an environment in the cell that slows down the loss. Second is, adding base pairs to your biologic time clocks, the telomeres, effectively making them longer! Anything that slows down the loss of the telomere segment is in effect going to make the job of your body even easier and trust me, when it comes to telomeres, you want to DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN to make them as long as possible.
The ingredients in the Telomere Edge Packs have a long track record of safety and even the most conservative person would find them beyond reproach!
Testimonial:Subject: Wow! "Hi Doc, I've been doing the Telomere Edge Packs faithfully and they are awesome!. Thanks to them I can up my fish oil from 6 to 9 per day. They, in conjunction w/ my workouts, have given me more energy than I can remember having. I feel like a teenage kid! I'm still doing the H2O2 so I'm getting maximum oxygenation." – Cliff

According to a news release from the Portland Police Bureau, traffic is closed to all traffic on Holgate near 61st Avenue.
Around 6:20 p.m., a neighbor said police were outside the house trying to talk to the man. The neighbor heard police saying, "Thomas, it's the police, come to the front door. Thomas, we want to help you. Thomas, we want to help you."
The Oregonian's Everton Bailey, around the same time, heard police saying, "We want to make sure you're okay and everyone else is okay."

But, before we write the president's political obituary, we need to learn a whole lot more about Gov. Perry. The Democrats obviously fear him, because they've already started attacking him in various types of ads. On the surface Perry may seem vulnerable because he was lieutenant governor of Texas when George W. Bush was governor. Yes, that means he was W's second-in-command for several years.Here's what Chronicle readers had to say:
Yes. Perry's decision to cut funding for volunteer fire departments by 75% really paid off during the recent catastrophic fires in Texas. That will instill a lot of confidence in him ...
At first I was leaning towards Romney. I don't think so anymore, southerners will never vote for a Mormon.
Perry will be the next president.
I'm a Ron Paul supporter, have been in the past and will be again this time, but the media ignores Ron Paul and washington is scared to death of him. Ron Paul would destroy their elite establishment, the fed and dismantle many corrupt bureaucracy's.
Why he may even be able to solve our debt crisis. But there's the rub, without a crisis, we don't "need" big government now do we?
American voters are another matter, we don't know what to think about Ron Paul because most voters don't care to think at all (see Obama 2008) thinking hurts our brains.
American voters want sound bites, we want a confidant almost cocky guy, we want a good smile, we want a full head of hair, we want a cool rock star for president. In all our history, who else has been voted in as president just using the words "Hope" and "Change" Absolutely brilliant!
Solutions? The only solutions we want is how do we find out if Beyonce's baby is a boy or a girl?
Nope, with our two party system Perry will be president. Corporations will send him millions, wall street has sent him millions, republicans will back whoever has the most money.
Obama is one term and out. It will be Perry vs Hillary in 2012.
No one seems to realize the TRUTH ... The president only has the power to sign or veto laws and budgets put in front of him, or her. The congress and Senate actually run the country. Once America admits to that then perhaps we will get a President who can do something. Politics along party lines must cease. America must come together, and work together. Stale mates, last minute deals aren't a way to run a country. As they said in Brewsters Millions a stupid yet funny movie.. Vote NONE OF THE ABOVE!!! Lets get someone who is not subject to paty politics. Lets get a person who is an independant and understands both sides. Both giving the rich their tax breaks that even Billionaires have said they do not need. And the social issues that need funding. The key is raise revenue. NO NOT TAXES, revenue. Get people working who pay taxes and the revenue goes up, both in Michigan and In america. All these unemployed used to pay taxes. Now they collect what they can. Freebies some say. But what about all the years that these unemployed paid taxes? Now that they need help it is being cut off one by one!
So, does Perry have what it takes to go all the way? Post your comments here or return to the original conversation.

Likes: Soft, lightweight, comfortable material. Noticed a difference in warmth the first use with my dry down bag, added benefit of keeping my bag cleaner.
Dislikes: Would be nice if it came in women's size, it was very large and bunch up at the bottom of my bag, giving me a tangled feeling.
Likes: Soft and warm. It definitely added warmth to my sleeping bag.
Dislikes: Nothing
Likes: Product greatly increases the comfort inside my sleeping bag. I have not tried it yet in cold weather, so I can't account for the impact it makes on bag warmth. However, it does feel much better on the skin than typical bag material. Easy to clean and store.
Dislikes: It is a little long, but I expected that when I ordered it since I saw the measurements online. The tie-string enclosure is not very user friendly, and I generally just wad the liner up around my neck when it gets drafty.
Likes: Lightweight and feels nice to the skin.
Dislikes: Tends to cling with static electricity easily.
Likes: nice bag liner great price
Dislikes: nothing
Likes: Very comfortable. surprisingly warm. I'm 6'4" and it was tall for me.
Dislikes: nothing
Likes: I have used this as my bag on really warm nights and in my bag on cold ones. It seams to give more heat then what is listed.
Dislikes: A little staticy.
Likes: light weight and packs very small. It works well by itself in warmer weather.
Dislikes: Perhaps it's just me, but it seems to have a lot of extra length. I'm approximately 5'8".

Alcohol Treatment
People have been drinking alcohol for thousands of years. Unlike drugs such as marijuana, cocaine or heroin, alcohol is perfectly legal as long as you are over the age of 21. This fact can make it difficult to tell if someone has a drinking problem. With illegal drugs, it's pretty obvious when you have a problem. With alcohol the line between casual social drinking and alcoholism is sometimes not so obvious. When your drinking is starting to grow out of your control, it might be time to get assistance from Alcohol Treatment West Palm Beach. A treatment center offers the best chance for someone to get clean and sober. Recovering from drug and alcohol addiction is possible with help from addiction treatment professionals.
Going through withdrawals is enough to turn many people away from rehab. Detoxing is a vital part of the recovery process and withdrawals are the biggest hurdle that comes with it. Alcohol withdrawal symptoms can be severe and leave someone very sick for a day or so, but the feeling of sobriety makes it all worthwhile. Get help for your alcohol addiction today by calling or stopping by Alcohol Treatment West Palm Beach. Even if you've tried to quit drinking before, there is still hope for someone to reach sobriety.

In response to the lady from South Beach who complained about loud exhausts on motorcycles.
I also ride and the cars have no respect for bikers. When I bought my bike, the first thing I did was put exhaust headers on the bike. If I had a dollar for every time I got cut off and the person said, "I didn't hear you or see you," my bike would be paid off.
When I'm in a residential area I keep the noise level down. Only when I'm in traffic, I'll crack the throttle so drivers cars hear me.

First-flighter and PSAL City Individuals champion James Edgeworth shot a 1-over 36 and second-flighter and Individuals runnerup Peter Massimillo fired a 38 to lead undefeated and top-seeded Tottenville to a 5-0 quarterfinal rout of Scholars Academy Tuesday at LaTourette.
The victory sends the two-time defending city champion Pirates into Thursday's semifinal round where they'll play rival Susan Wagner. The fifth-seeded Falcons, who defeated No. 4 Cardozo 3 1/2 - 1 1/2 on Tuesday, will be looking to avenge losses to Tottenville in last year's city championship and in two close regular-season matches this year.
Also shooting well for the Pirates Tuesday were third-flighter Dan Mazzarisi (44), No. 4 man Andrew Cassara (44) and fifth-flighter Richard Sin (43).
"I think we're playing well. It's a good group of kids," said Tottenville coach John Woodman. "I'm especially happy with Mazzarisi and Sin. Cassara has been so steady, he's probably our most underrated player. And James and Peter have been lights out for us all year.
"But I don't like the idea of playing the same team three times in one season," added Woodman, whose squad owns a pair of 3-2 victories over Wagner this year.
In Thursday's other semifinal, No. 7 McKee/S.I. Tech (which upset No. 2 Midwood 3-2) will take on No. 6 Bronx Science (a 3-2 winner over No. 3 Stuyvesant). Sites of the two semifinals have yet to be determined.
"Staten Island is a real good division, and the battles we have with each other pays off when it comes to these playoff matches," Woodman added. "They get us ready."

The governing board of Louisiana's state-backed property insurance firm has postponed a decision on whether to change the fee paid by policyholders to pay off debt incurred because of claims from Hurricane Katrina.
All property insurance policyholders in Louisiana pay a 5 percent fee -- called an "assessment" -- to pay off Katrina debt incurred by the state-backed Louisiana Citizens Property Insurance Corp. The fee is paid by homeowners and commercial insurance policyholders, whether they're with Citizens or private firms.
Citizens' board on Thursday put off a decision on whether to keep the assessment at 5 percent or lower it to 4.3 percent.

Using a mobile device is easy. Building a mobile enterprise that supports and secures hundreds, if not thousands of mobile devices, in your location and around the world, with limited staff and an increasing number of unauthorized equipment, is not.
To uncover what it takes to have a successful IT strategy on the mobile front, IBM and IDC have collaborated on a newly-published study, "Putting mobile first: best practices of mobile technology leaders." The study is based on interviews with 361 IT executives in seven countries around the world and focuses on the adoption and benefits of mobile technologies in the enterprise. What exactly are mobile leaders doing to embrace mobile in the enterprise? Simply put, they're planning, integrating, optimizing and managing their mobile infrastructures.
According to the study, mobile leaders are taking a strategic approach to planning mobile development and strategies, integrating mobile across the enterprise including monetization, optimizing mobile information technology infrastructure, and finally, managing mobile security.
While most enterprises are struggling to define a mobile security policy, implement BYOD programs, move beyond e-mail and embrace mobile applications, today's mobile leaders are doing all that and more to integrate mobile into the fabric of their business
Because mobile is a disruptive and evolving technology many enterprises are also challenged by the growing mobile skills gap. But rather than hire all the mobile experts they need, today's mobile leaders are engaging external information technology far more often than non-leaders. In the IBM/IDC Study, 86 percent of respondents indicated that an external provider can help them better address the skills gap and achieve their mobility goals as well as undertake additional mobile projects.
Becoming a mobile enterprise begins with a strategy and includes policy, education and technology. Understanding the current state of mobility, the desired end goal and the gaps are critically important to developing and executing a roadmap.
Many enterprises simply "don't know what they don't know" especially with mobile. Engaging an experienced professional that can articulate "the art of the possible" and draw on the experience of developing mobile solutions for similar clients worldwide, can not only speed up time to market and reduce costs, but build a sustainable IT strategy for a dynamic mobile environment moving forward.

Lead continues to be a health risk for big birds in the Portland area and especially for those in rural Oregon, preliminary results of an Audubon Society of Portland study show.
The study tracks levels of lead in the blood of raptors, turkey vultures and ravens admitted to the society's Wildlife Care Center in Portland, and of avian scavengers admitted to Blue Mountain Wildlife, a rehabilitation center in Pendleton.
Most birds with elevated lead levels were rescued and brought to the two care centers during late winter and early spring, the seasons that correlate with big-game and coyote hunting seasons and during which lead ammunition is discharged into the environment.
Conservationists are increasingly concerned about birds poisoned from ingesting lead fragments while feeding on animals killed with lead ammo, or on the gut piles left behind by hunters.
Lead ammunition was banned for waterfowl hunting nationwide in 1991. California's new ban on lead ammunition for all hunting will go into effect in 2019.
Of the more than 200 birds Audubon tested in 2013, seven had elevated lead levels. They included four red-tailed hawks, a bald eagle, a Cooper's hawk and a great-horned owl.
Blue Mountain tested more than 100 birds between 2010 and 2013 and 29 had elevated lead levels. Golden eagles and bald eagles were the species most frequently affected.
Audubon expects to continue the study for at least two more years.
The study was funded, in part, by a grant from the Oregon Zoo's Future for Wildlife program.

Erotica & ecstasy
Italy and India have a lot in common: chaos, corruption, bureaucracy, heat, and a passion for food and romance. That shared zeal for love made it fitting that an Italian woman, Anna Dallapiccola, honorary professor of Indian Art, Edinburgh University, gave a talk about Indian love poetry on a snowy afternoon at the Sunday Times Oxford Literary Festival.
The British Museum Press has recently reissued her colourful book, Indian Love Poetry, first published in 2006. In the book, Dallapiccola, who has a PhD in Indian Art, brings together Indian illustrations from the collection at the British Museum and combines them with English translations of Indian love poems by some of India's foremost poets in ancient and pre-colonial India.
The poets featured in Indian Love Poetry range from Kalidasa in the 5th century to 17th-century poets such as Keshav Das, Kshetrayya and Lachhiman and include Antal, Nammalvar, Karaikkal Ammaiyar, Jayadeva, Mulla Daud, Mira Bai, Tukaram, Vidyapati and Manikkavachakar.
"Love both human and divine is one of the major components of Indian literature and art, " she says. The key sentiment that exists throughout Indian love poetry is shringara, or erotic sentiment, one of the nine main rasas (sentiments) that form the basis of Indian aesthetics, she explains. "Love in separation (vipralambha) is a kind of shringara that is widely expressed in Indian love poetry, " she says, adding longing and the playfulness of love also feature. "Sometimes you feel the page burn in your fingers."
Her favourite poet is Karaikkal Ammaiyar, a 6th century saint-poet and one of the great figures of early Tamil literature. She was part of the bhakti movement, which began in the 4th or 5th century in the region now known as Tamil Nadu. During that period, poet-saints wrote compositions stressing the importance of a selfless love between man and god as the way to find meaning in life. Born in the town of Karaikkal on the shores of the Bay of Bengal, the poet was a Shiva devotee. "I love the poetry of Karaikkal Ammaiyar because of her passionate devotion to Shiva and her forceful, at times violent, imagery, " says Dallapiccola.
The Karaikkal poem featured in this book mentions the reddened feet of Shiva. The feet of gods have always been worshipped as they are considered the most accessible part of a god for humans. The poem reads: When I was born and learned to speak I was overcome with love And I reached your red feet Lord of gods, lord with the splendid black throat
Will sorrow never end?
Dallapiccola's doctorate focused on ragamala painting, a genre of painting that depicts a season or time when a melody should be performed and portrays lovers in various situations such as remembering past love encounters. An example is Gaur Ragini (1640), which shows a lovelorn woman walking in the forest accompanied by deer and peacocks, suggesting she has renounced the world and is tormented by pangs of love. On another page, a leaf from a ragamala dated 1630 accompanies a poem by Lachhiman. It depicts a woman looking into a mirror, but all she can see are the features of her lover, so anxious is she to see him. Separation was often seen as an allegory of the human soul separated from god. The belief was that the only way to find meaning in life and freedom from sorrow was through a selfless surrender to a god, she explains.
There are eight types of heroine (nayika) according to the Natyashastra. They include a woman distressed by separation, enraged with her lover, deceived by her lover and so on. These form the core storylines in Indian love poetry, Dallapiccola says. However, subsequent classifications based on the woman's class, marital status, and age provide a detailed insight into human love and passion. Krishna, considered the ultimate lover, appears in many of the poems. "There is a lot of physical love and desire for the body, " Dallapiccola says. "Sex is not described, rather it is alluded to in the most intriguing ways. As Bharata's Natyashastra says, sex is not to be reproduced on stage. "
Born in Florence to a composer, Luigi Dallapiccola, Dallapiccola was previously professor of Indian Art at the South Asia Institute of Heidelberg University, Germany. Her interest in India was triggered when she was eight years old and ill at home. Dallapiccola paged through a library book showing a seated picture of Buddha at Sarnath from the Gupta period. "There was something about that picture I absolutely adored, " she says. "I was mesmerised. " She started collecting whatever she could that was Indian.
"I like the poems because of their warmth - there is a human touch to them, " she says. "Indians were always erotic and passionate. The prudery you see in India today is left over from the Victorian period. " Recalling her first trip to India in the 1960s, she says: "I adored it. You can't compare it to today. From Mumbai airport to Dr Annie Besant Road was one big slum. It went on for miles. I liked everything, the people, the food - everyone was so kind to me. The horrendous bureaucracy of Italy had prepared me for India in many ways. I think India and Italy are quite similar, especially in those years. Now I think India is more advanced. Think of the amazing progress India has made from the '60s till now. In India, you feel there is a future, " she says, adding Italians have become pessimistic.
She has worked on the Vijayanagara Research Project and catalogued the entire collection of South Indian paintings at the British Museum, but Dallapiccola feels that "Indian art and culture does not have the exposure it deserves."
The historian William Dalrymple is a golden exception, she says. He is one of the few who reviews Indian art exhibitions in the British press and in the process tries to inform readers about the cultural context in which the exhibits were created. "Otherwise there are just the usual suspects who write about Indian art. It's very difficult because there are so many different languages and probably the translations of the commentaries are not available. India is one of the great global powers and we in the West don't know the first thing about it. There were chairs of Indian Studies at universities in Europe in my day and they have all disappeared due to the lack of support for the humanities and yet India is a global phenomenon. "

Dauphin County is continuing its fight over payments it made to a Harrisburg agency to help finance the city's debt-laden incinerator by asking for detailed documents about incinerator operations.
County Chief Clerk Chad Saylor has requested numerous documents from the Harrisburg Authority, which owns the burner, under the state's new Open Records Law. Saylor lists seven sets of documents that the county wants, including bank statements and correspondence over the past two years.
Authority Executive Director Michele Torres wrote Saylor to say that the authority needs to consult with legal counsel and will reply by July 13.
The county made a $775,652 debt-service payment for the city on May 29. County commission President Jeff Haste has vowed that the county will get its money back.

CAMDEN -- A 36-year-old Nashville, Tenn., man was arrested in the city Monday in connection to a robbery that occurred in the 600 block of Federal Street.
The victim told police that a Hispanic male robbed him and, during the incident, implied that he was in possession of a firearm as the victim was leaving the Walter Rand Transportation Center. The suspect then fled on foot with the victim's backpack.
Mario Gonzalez Hernandez was apprehended by authorities in the 400 block of Market Street a short time later. He faces robbery and weapons charges and was remanded to the Camden County Jail in lieu of $200,000 bail.
The stolen items were returned to the victim.
