TUESDAY, March 30 (HealthDay News) -- Hormone replacement therapy directed to joint fluid may help regenerate damaged cartilage tissue in people with advanced osteoarthritis, according to German researchers.
Their study aimed to examine the regenerative potential of a type of cell -- chondrogenic progenitor cells, or CPCS -- that is present in the late stages of osteoarthritis. The researchers speculated that these cells might be influenced by the sex hormones estrogen, which has been shown to affect bone metabolism, and testosterone.
They analyzed tissue samples from 372 men and women with arthritis who'd had a total knee replacement. Most were in their early 70s.
In the joint fluid of the participants, they found 17 beta-estradiol, a form of estrogen, which they said increases calcium deposition in both sexes. And, in the osteoarthritic tissue, they found CPCs positive for estrogen receptors and androgen receptors.
The researchers, also found that unique CPCs were present in the cartilage of people with late-stage osteoarthritis (OA).
"We were able to isolate CPCs in 95.48 percent of female patients and 96.97 percent of male patients, making these cells a good target for future therapeutic intervention for a very large number of OA patients," Dr. Nicolai Miosge, from August University in Goettingen, said in a news release from Wiley-Blackwell, which publishes Arthritis & Rheumatism.
The findings are reported in the journal's April issue.
"Hormone replacement therapy in joint fluid may help mitigate the effects of OA," Miosge concluded, adding that further investigation was needed.

This is a project by Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects and it is located at Alta, Norway. Project's program: A cathedral with a church room(350 people), administration offices, classrooms, exhibition areas and a parochial area. There are fourteen images for The Cathedral of the Northern Lights.
The Crown Princess of Norway, Mette-Marit, the 47 metre high Cathedral of the Northern Lights is situated in the Norwegian town of Alta approximately 500 km north of the Arctic Circle. The building is a landmark, which through its architecture symbolizes the extraordinary natural phenomenon of the Arctic northern lights. The cathedral reflects, both literally and metaphorically, the northern lights: ethereal, transient, poetic and beautiful.
The significance of the northern lights is reflected in the architecture of the cathedral. The contours of the church rise as a spiralling shape to the tip of the belfry 47 metres above the ground. The façade, clad in titanium, reflects the northern lights during the long periods of Arctic winter darkness and emphasizes the experience of the phenomenon.
Inside the main area of the cathedral, the church room creates a peaceful contrast to the dynamic exterior of the building. The materials used, raw concrete for the walls and wood for the floors, panels and ceilings, underline the Nordic context. Daylight enters the church room through tall, slim, irregularly placed windows. A skylight lights up the whole wall behind the altar creating a distinctive atmosphere in the room.
The cathedral, which can accommodate 350 people in the church room, also has administration offices, classrooms, exhibition areas and a parochial area.

In the wake of the terrorist attacks it was imperative to ensure that our laws and policies provided officials with the tools they need to protect national security and the safety of Americans.
It was also essential that a serious inquiry be conducted to review the work of our nation's intelligence forces and law enforcement agencies, with the goal of learning lessons and preventing future catastrophes, rather than casting blame. Such efforts could have been valuable in determining whether there was truly a need for sweeping changes in federal investigative or police powers, rather than basing changes on the assumptions of the attorney general. Congress undertook no such inquiry.
John Ashcroft and the White House aggressively promoted an anti-terrorism bill and took a series of executive actions which threaten constitutional liberties and the constitutional system of checks and balances.

Judith E. Widen, PhD, is Associate Professor, Department of Hearing and Speech, University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City, KS. Gwendolyn M. O'Grady, MSPA, is Clinical Director of Audiology, Division of Speech Pathology and Audiology, Department of Surgery, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC.

We recall the referral from a fellow audiologist many years ago, when auditory brainstem response (ABR) testing was a relatively new procedure. He had seen an infant for ABR testing and asked if we would repeat the test for a second opinion. As we took down the information necessary to set up the appointment, we asked for the child's birth date and age. "Eight months," he said. "How does the baby respond to sound?" The colleague replied, "I don't know. When he's been in our office, he's been asleep." For us, this raised an important question: Is a hearing evaluation complete if the child has slept through the whole thing?
The initial diagnosis of hearing loss in infants identified through newborn hearing screening programs is expected to occur by 3 months of age and thus relies heavily on electrophysiologic tests rather than behavioral tests.1–3 However, we contend that the evaluation is not complete unless some form of behavioral assessment is included in those early evaluations.
Prior to the advent of immittance measures, ABR, and OAE, audiologists had to rely on their observations of a young infant's responses to sound to estimate the audiogram. Called behavior observation audiometry (BOA), this procedure required an observer to judge if a behavioral response (i.e., a change of state such as a startle, eye widening, a grimace, cessation or initiation of sucking) was related to the presentation of an auditory stimulus. If the observed behavior was time-locked with the presentation, it implied that the infant was responding to the sound.
Observers noted systematic behaviors that tended to occur in response to different stimulus types (speech, noisemakers, tones) and different stimulus levels at different ages.4–6 Responses ranged from arousal from sleep in the newborn period to rather precise localization of sound by 2 years of age. Younger infants required greater sound levels to elicit responses than did older infants. And, speech was the most effective signal at eliciting responses at low levels.
These observations culminated in the Auditory Behavior Index.7 Illustrations from every edition of Hearing in Children by Northern and Downs8,9 have become the hallmark of the index. Copies of the figures and the index can be found taped to the walls of sound-treated test booths across the country. What's important to remember about the index is that it is a developmental index of responsiveness to sound, not sensitivity to sound. The levels included in the index are not norms for audiometric threshold.
Numerous investigators have noted other limitations of BOA. First, babies with normal hearing range greatly in their responsiveness.6 For example, at 3 months of age, some normally hearing babies will respond at levels as low as 20 dB HL and others not until levels of 80 dB HL. This range of "normal" hearing effectively eliminates the possibility of detecting mild and moderate degrees of hearing loss (between 30 and 70 dB HL).
Another problem is the wide range in responsiveness within individual babies, depending on state, alertness, and attention.
Also, the responses are prone to habituation. That is, an infant may respond to the presentation of a novel stimulus, but subsequent presentations are less likely to evoke a response, especially at low levels.6
Another problem is that infants respond differently to different types of stimuli. Speech signals are the most evocative; they will typically elicit the most responses at the lowest levels. In order of likelihood to evoke infant responses are broad-band complex noises, narrow bands of noise, and pure tones.4,5 Thus, the most frequency-specific signals, those used for audiometry, especially at low stimulus levels (near threshold), are the ones least likely to result in responses from infants.
A final limitation on the clinical use of BOA is that our judgment of responses tends to be colored by our expectations.10–12 If we know the stimulus level is high, we're more likely to expect, and thus to perceive, a baby's behavioral response. If we know the child has previously failed a hearing screening, we're less likely to expect a response. These expectations can result in underestimating or overestimating hearing loss.
Many audiologists have abandoned the use of BOA in any formal sense.13–15 Others report good agreement between BOA and later audiograms.16,17 Those who do use BOA have added considerable, needed restrictions to the protocol. They require that the evaluation be done when the baby is hungry, awake, and quiet—a rare occurrence! They limit the acceptable response to one: only a sucking response, either cessation or initiation. They require that two observers agree on the responses, and that there must be three responses noted at one level for an interpretation of minimal response level (MRL).
An alternative to BOA, which we prefer, is the use of functional scales, which can be completed by parents, early interventionists, speech-language pathologists, teachers of the deaf, early childhood specialists, and audiologists. Examples of scales that may supplement the electrophysiologic test results are the Developmental Index of Audition and Listening (DIAL)18 and the Infant-Toddler Meaningful Auditory Integration Scale (IT-MAIS).19
When an infant has reached a developmental age of approximately 6 months, the behavioral evaluation may become the primary test in the battery. Visual reinforcement audiometry (VRA) can be used to obtain behavioral thresholds for pure-tone stimuli that approximate adult values.20,21 VRA capitalizes on a child's natural instinct to respond to auditory stimuli by turning toward the stimuli. When a child responds by turning, reinforcement is provided for that response with the momentary lighting and activation of a motorized toy.22,23 VRA is an operant-conditioned response. That is, the desired behavior is rewarded, thus increasing the likelihood that the behavior will continue. With VRA, we hope the head-turn response will continue until we have completed the audiogram.
There are many ways to optimize the chances of getting a complete, valid test. One of the most important is to adhere to the principles of operant conditioning. Typically in operant conditioning, there are conditioning or training trials in which the discriminative stimulus is paired with the reinforcement to shape the desired response. This means that initial conditioning or training must be done for a signal that is clearly perceptible/audible to the child. Because localization toward sounds, especially novel ones, is a natural response for most infants, conditioning often occurs rapidly.
For normally hearing infants, conditioning may consist of a couple of trials in which the toy reinforcement is provided immediately upon spontaneous head turn in the direction of signals presented slightly above threshold (e.g., 30 dB HL). For other children, particularly those with hearing loss who lack experience with sound, the head-turn behavior associated with the sound signal may need to be shaped. For children with severe hearing loss, a vibratory signal (e.g., a 250-Hz or 500-Hz bone-conducted signal at 40 or 50 dB HL) may need to be used in conjunction with the acoustic signal so that the infant will associate the test stimulus with the reward. Once the child has demonstrated understanding of the task (i.e., test stimulus…head turn…reward), then stimulus levels can be decreased and threshold can be bracketed in standard audiometric fashion.
Research has shown that once conditioning is established the MRL or threshold is not influenced by type of stimulus (e.g., complex signals vs. pure tones), as it is in when behavioral responsiveness is simply observed.24 Infants will respond at near-threshold levels for tones, as they will for noise bands and speech. Another important finding is that VRA does not require localization skills.25 Once conditioned, the infant continues to look to the reinforcement, regardless of the signal source. Thus, earphone testing, especially with light-weight insert earphones, can be quite successful.26,27 It is likely, however, that localization (and its counterpart under earphones, lateralization) may provide cues that aid in the ease of conditioning and testing, so it is wise to have reinforcement available for whichever side or ear is being tested.23,25
In operant conditioning, reinforcement is provided only for correct responses; that is, head turns that are time-locked to the stimulus presentations. Two conditions are required to ensure this: (1) stimulus duration should be consistent and short, and (2) the response must be unambiguous. We suggest a signal duration of 1 to 2 seconds, with a response window slightly longer than that (e.g., 4 seconds) to allow for responses to both onset and offset of the signal. Inexperienced examiners may tend to keep the signal on too long, as if its presence will eventually alert the child. Most assuredly, if one waits long enough the infant will turn during his normal wiggling-around behavior.
The best way to ensure a clear-cut response is to place the reinforcement to the baby's side, where a 90-degree head turn will be required to view the toy. If the reinforcers are placed on top of the loudspeakers in the corners of the test booth, the audiologist must judge a 45-degree head turn of a child whose head and body are rarely stable between signal trials.
Regarding the reward or reinforcement, there are other principles of operant conditioning to remember. One, we aim to provide positive reinforcement, so it is important to choose toys that are likely to please, not scare, children. The infamous monkey that bangs cymbals has ended more than one VRA session prematurely. Two, if the child's reward is to see the toys, let's put them at the child's eye level where they can be seen easily (again, not on top of a distant loudspeaker). Finally, several different toys, presented in random order, are likely to keep the child on task longer than a single toy.
The optimal set-up for VRA involves two examiners. One examiner is at the audiometer in the control room presenting the test signals and activating the reinforcer when correct responses are observed. The other examiner is in the test booth with the parent and child, keeping the child centered and mildly distracted from the reinforcer. Usually this distraction is achieved by showing the baby a series of objects or toys that do not compete with the reinforcer (i.e., plastic rings, balls, puppets, etc. that can be manipulated quietly). A fairly large number of distracting items may be needed to keep the child's attention throughout a test session.
The role of the in-room examiner is important in achieving a valid and reliable audiogram. It takes skill and practice to keep the child in what we assume is a listening posture, so that the child wants to see the reinforcer toy more than anything else while still allowing her/his attention to be drawn away so that a head turn can be easily judged.
The examiner and the examiner's actions must not be more interesting than the reinforcer toys. The examiner should refrain from talking or smiling at the baby, except to provide praise for correct responses. A secondary role of the in-room examiner is to maintain a quiet environment and rapport with the parent, as well as to be available for quick insertion (and possibly re-insertion) of earphones. The in-room examiner's role is deemed so important that several investigators have refined procedures and equipment so that one examiner can do it all: Control the stimuli and reinforcers while located within the exam room with the child and parent.28–30
Behavioral testing of infants and young children requires efficient use of time, because the child's latest response may well be his or her last response. Therefore, for example, if conditioning doesn't occur quickly, change the stimulus (e.g., increase level, switch to speech or a different frequency) or change ears. Don't waste time above threshold (e.g., quickly descend in level using a 10-dB step size rather than the traditional 5 dB). For many infants, VRA thresholds can be obtained sequentially, first one frequency and then another, as in standard audiometry.
Because thresholds for normally hearing infants tend to be 10 to 15 dB above adult values, some people prefer the term "minimal response level" to describe the results. Whatever term is used, it is especially important to note that the levels noted in the Auditory Behavior Index are not to be used as normative data for conditioned responses, such as those obtained with VRA. For example, VRA thresholds of normally hearing infants should be obtained at levels of 20 dB HL or better as young as 6 months. MRL or VRA thresholds of 30 to 40 dB HL indicate a hearing loss and will correlate with elevated ABR thresholds, abnormal tympanograms, or absent otoacoustic emissions.
Until recently, there were no formal, well-defined VRA protocols. Widen et al.27 developed a fairly structured VRA protocol that was used successfully for the systematic hearing assessment of more than 3000 infants who were enrolled in a national, multi-site research project. This protocol may be modified for clinical use.
One component of the protocol that we feel is important for routine clinical testing is the systematic inclusion of control trials (i.e., observation intervals in which the examiners judge whether a head turn occurs in the absence of sound stimulation). Control trials are to be conducted in precisely the same way that stimulus trials are when the child is appropriately attentive at midline. The responses during control trials are to be judged in the same way and for the same length of time as stimulus trials. The only difference is that reinforcement is not provided if the child turns.
Control trials have several purposes. The first, of course, is to determine if the responses (head turns) you are judging are truly responses to the test stimuli and not just random motions. If the child turns as often during control trials as during stimulus trials, then your test is not valid. A second purpose of control trials is to provide feedback to the examiner in the test room about how effectively the child's attention is being maintained.
Although adding control trials might seem to increase the test time, it appears that the critical factor in determining how long infants remain on task is the number of times they have seen the reinforcement toys. On average, 10-month-old infants will last 15–20 minutes for an average of 45 stimulus trials.27
There are a few practical strategies that may help delay habituation. Scheduling the appointment at a good time for the baby is one. Older infants (18 months and up) who often habituate more quickly than younger babies may respond well to variety; thus, changing test frequencies often or changing test ears may help keep the baby on task.31,32 Limiting the duration of the reinforcement or providing intermittent reinforcement, especially later in the test session, may be helpful.31,33 Giving the child a break, for a snack or playtime or even a diaper change or tympanometry, may yield a few extra responses in a subsequent test session.34 As infants approach 2 years of age, the test procedure of choice becomes a guessing game.35 Many toddlers are ready for more active involvement in the test procedure, such as tangible reinforcement operant conditioning audiometry (TROCA) or conditioned play audiometry.

Corporate fraud / Benford's law
One way to measure corporate fraud is look at reported numbers and see if they follow Benford's law - number sets that are manipulated usually deviate from Benford's law. A recent analysis of all public companies over the past 50 years has shown a steady upward deviation, strongly suggesting there is more corporate fraud now than ever before (peaked in 2008).

Is the SEC Covering Up Wall Street Crimes? "A whistleblower claims that over the past two decades, the agency has destroyed records of thousands of investigations, whitewashing the files of some of the nation's worst financial criminals."
Which one is it?
The New York Times published on Sunday a very favorable report on Ken Lay. In it, they argue that he was, at least in part, wrongly chastised for his role in the Enron affair. Apparently, we are to believe that the CEO didn't know what was going on inside the company he ran. After news of the report appeared in numerous U.S. media earlier this week, the BBC today counterattacks brutally (although perhaps not intentionally), describing some of the most ruthless Enron practices - like placing the combined total salary of the top 200 executives salary at one and a half times the company's total earnings (Lay's went from 15m to 164 mil in that period). My question is simple: just what is going on here?
You've got Jail is a light hearted, easy summer reading and informative article which explodes the myth that malfeasing CEOs get sent to "Club Fed", a prison so minimum in insecurity that its really like an enforced vacation in the country rather than the more typical round of incarceration.

Five Minutes with Leighton Meester
Spotted: Gossip Girl Blair Waldorf, aka Leighton Meester, sipping Champagne at the Gramercy Park Hotel rooftop club last week. She was there to support the December release of You Know You Want It: Style-Inspiration-Confidence (Clarkson Potter), a sartorial how-to by Gossip Girl costume designer Eric Daman. "Style should be fluid and fun—it's 20 percent fashion and 80 percent confidence," said Daman. While Serena, Chuck, Dan et al were stuck on set, Meester, dressed in a Marios Schwab frock and Gucci booties, showed up fashionably late. Amid pop beats and pastel macaroons, Meester (who wrote the foreward to the book) shared some words of fashion wisdom.
What's your favorite part about the book?
It's really well illustrated and it helps you break it down and put it all together. Even I need help with that. You can go shopping a million times and have everything in your closet, but if you don't know how to put it all together you end up just standing there.
How has your style evolved through the Gossip Girl years?
Before I started this show I lived in L.A. and I definitely have developed, because of the show and being around Eric, a love of fashion. But fashion means nothing if you don't have a sense of personal style. He has definitely broadened my horizons and made my taste very specific to myself.
Has fashion ever been intimidating to you?
No, never. My mother always had a great sense of style. I always looked up to her. Ever since the show I can differentiate between the character and myself. It gave me a launching point to develop my own sense of style. I have Eric to thank for that.

I've never been a fan of NASCAR racing at the Auto Club Speedway. The 500-mile races are too long and the weather is, for some reason, always terrible. That may work for some racing series, but it sure doesn't for Sprint Cup.
But with his last-lap pass of five-time defending series champion Jimmie Johnson, Kevin Harvick brought some badly-needed excitement to a racetrack that's still struggling to find its niche in the sport.
The cars and stars of Sprint Cup now head out of the super speedway at Southern California to the polar opposite of both: the paper-clip short track of Martinsville. Who's hot heading to NASCAR's oldest track? Read on.

February 25, 2013 BY John Kim / 5
Earlier today we showed you nice feature that focused on the possible potential of NBA stars of the past that could have been realized if "better" shoes were around. Instead of putting LeBrons on Barkley and the XX8 on Jordans feet, why not the actual upgraded versions of the sneakers of the past, like the Air Max Uptempo Fuse 360? Based on one of the most popular sneakers of the 90s, the Air Max Uptempo Fuse 360 takes takes the Air Max Tempo and adds in Hyperfuse and a full-length 360 Max Air unit engineered specifically for basketball, and clearly it has been a popular choice because some NBA players have been rotating them already. Eastbay has all three colors available right now so head there for a purchase or see what deals are up for grabs now on eBay.

Over the counter retinol products are mostly a sorry bunch. Many have barely enough retin-A for it to qualify as the active ingredient and one of the strongest on the market, Skinceuticals Retin 1.0, has at least three other ingredients they may be toxins or irritants. I have just come across three OTC products that have such a potent shot of retinol that they leave Skinceuticals standing.
Matis Caviar Retinol has a whopping 10% concentration of retinol. For some of us more sensitive souls, that may be too strong. I find the morning and night routine a bit fussy and probably unnecessary: the only obvious difference between the two is that the night cream has tamarind. And what is the point of caviar, other than to ensure Matis Caviar Retinol has a luxury price tag? Apparently Angelina Jolie is a fan (of caviar body wraps) so may be there is something to it. There is a lot of B12 in caviar and omega 3 fatty acids, but it is difficult to imagine how the nutrients in something so perishable (there is a good reason for serving caviar on ice) will thrive in face cream.
Unfortunately, Matis Caviar Retinol contains polyacylamide (as does Skinceuticals), a neurotoxin that may also be carcinogenic and can be absorbed through broken skin. It also contains an anti-bacterial called triclosan that is associated with allergic reactions (a Girl Scout troop in Minnesota has taken up the cause against triclosin in household products).
Emergin C Multivitamin Retinol Serum has a 4% concentration of retinol and a 5% concentration of vitamin C. The multivitamin component is made of B complex, E, F, H and K. Emergin only lists its active ingredients, enough to make me suspicious. Having said that, it looks worth trying to find a bottle and checking out the small print. See our reader's review.
MD Formulations VitaPlus Clearing Masque is the weakest of the bunch with a 2% concentration of retinol. That's still double Skinceuticals. It has retinol and retinyl palmitate. The base ingredient is montmorillonite clay from France. Apart from a couple of paraben preservatives, there isn't anything to dislike.
Environ products are made in South Africa and have a higher dose of retin-A than can usually be found in non-prescription creams. It is usually combined with vitamin C. The Environ range has products with different strengths of retinol depending on what you are trying to achieve, sensitivity, or if you want to build up gradually to a higher strength.

A good find, I think. Two good Vit C ingredients that are stable and the magnesium ascorbic phosphate is good at stopping melanomin. This, plus the Vit K, are demonstrated to be effective with acne, so this might be good for adult acne. I'll do some more digging on it.

Here is the list of ingredients for Emergin C Multivitamin Retinol Serum. What do you think?

Water (Aqua), Butylene Glycol, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vitamin C), Ethoxydiglycol, Camellia Olifera (Green Tea) Leaf Extract, Glyceryl Polymethacrylate, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vitamin C), Retinol, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Sodium Tocopheryl Phosphate (Vitamin E), Mimosa Tenuiflora Bark Extract, Prunus Amygdalus (Sweet Almond) Fruit Extract, Biotin, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Extract, Arachidonic Acid, Linoleic Acid, Linolenic Acid, Bisabolol, Phytonadione (Vitamin K), Humulus Lupulus (Hops) Extract. Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Extract, Melissa Officinalis (Balm Mint) Leaf Extract, Achillea Millefolium (Yarrow) Extract, Foeniculul Vulgare (Fennel) Fruit Extract, Panthenol, Calcium Pantothenate, Allantoin, Polysorbate 20, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Carbomer, Sorbic Acid

Reducing Waste One Bag at a Time
Natural Times, July/August/September 2012
By Cristin Burns, Marketing Manager
On April 21, 2012, New Leaf Market became the first grocery store in Tallahassee to institute a reusable bag cash incentive ($0.03 per bag) to encourage customers to bring and use their reusable bags. Since then, over 10,100 reusable bags have come through the registers! That's 10,100 grocery bags that never made it to the landfill.
"Efforts to reduce paper waste are not new to us," said General Manager Larrane Hartridge. The Co-op has increased its office waste recycling, recycled over 66 tons of cardboard last year, and sells its reusable bags at cost to make them more affordable to customers. "We are hopeful," said Hartridge, "that this reusable bag incentive will drastically reduce the use of paper grocery bags at New Leaf Market."
And it has, but there is still plenty of room for improvement. The reduction of 10,100 is 2.76 percent of New Leaf Market's annual paper order; the Co-op uses over 365,000 100-percent recycled paper grocery bags a year.
"By Earth Day 2013," says Merchandising Manager Chris Terrell, "We hope to be able to brag that we have reduced our paper bag usage by 10 percent."
A 10 percent reduction in paper bag use would save 28,000 New Leaf Market paper bags from the landfill, which also saves the energy it takes to make paper bags.
While recycling is better than trashing grocery bags, according to the EPA, Americans currently only recycle 19.4 percent of paper bags.
And then there's the paper bag myth that paper bags are more natural than plastic and therefore better. Paper bag production takes more than four times as much energy (2,511 BTU) than plastic (594 BTU). Any reduction of paper bag use also reduces the fuel needed for harvesting the wood pulp, manufacturing, transportation, and disposal.
"We know that bringing your own bags can be a chore, but we're confident that our customers are ready to help us reduce paper at New Leaf Market," says Front End Manager Adriane Pitt. "Who knows, maybe someday we'll be paper bag free!"

Trident Diving Equipment distributed
We have been notified by the hose manufacturer that they have initiated a Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC)
Recall for high pressure hoses that they manufactured during the certain date code ranges listed below.
The failure mode is; that the hose can burst / detach at the crimp fitting that attaches to the first stage.

Rather than wait for the CPSC recall to go into effect,
and while only a very small number of hoses have actually been returned with this defect,
we are proceeding with an abundance of caution to notify all retail Trident accounts
and consumers who may have purchased these hoses to do the following:
Examine the male end of your BRAIDED high pressure hose (male fitting that screws into the regulator first stage).
If the hex (on the male end) is stamped with a manufacturing date code (see picture above)(and date stamps below)
A return form should be filled out and hose or male hose end sent in to Trident.
This only involves BRAIDED HP (High Pressure) hoses with the following date stamps
that are located on the male hose end on the hex head fitting;
The following manufacturing date codes are being recalled for replacement:
There are NO problems with any Low Pressure LP hoses of any kind.
Hoses with markings that include the letter Q belong to Innovative Scuba or A-Plus Marine;
Please visit their websites for their hose recall information
www.innovativescuba.com, or www.aplusmarine.com
Fill out the Return Authorization Form and return the hose to Trident Diving Equipment
No packaging or proof of purchase is required.
Or easier
Cut off the hose's male end (with date stamp), email us a photo along with
the Return Authorization form information

Understanding the significance of current events in America and globally
Sunday, December 16, 2012: Wholesale murder of innocents and the death of innocence. Wars and rumors of wars. Reports of the movement of military assets in and out of the United States. Reports of a mass exodus of top executives from New York to their rural homes in Utah, Colorado and elsewhere. What's going on?
Join us for a special Sunday night broadcast of the Hagmann & Hagmann Report tonight, December 16, 2012 featuring our special guests Steve Quayle (WEBSITE) and Christian Evangelist Henry Gruver (WEBSITE).
Fresh off of his Saturday night appearance on Coast to Coast AM, internationally renowned author Steve Quayle and in-demand Christian Evangelist Henry Gruver will discuss current events and the forces behind them. For the last few decades, Mr. Gruver has spoken about what was coming to America. Now, it appears that much of what Mr. Gruver has been speaking about has arrived.
We will look at the events taking place today through the lens of scripture and Biblical prophecy to gain context and proper understanding of what we are seeing unfold in our generation.

"It feels different" were my first exact thoughts as I held Sony's brand new redesign controller. I have to admit, at first I was worried as it's the first since the first dual shock we finally got to see a new design.
And yes, it feels great. Fits right in my hands, analog sticks feel more accurate, and it has a really nice weight to it. The only part I wasn't fully convinced of were the triggers as the felt too edgy or pointy ( it can slightly scratch someone's skin). Still though this controller is totally a breathe of fresh that will finally replace Sony old dog.

The definition of artificial sweeteners often causes confusion. Artificial sweeteners and sugar alcohols are two separate types cheap nba jerseys china of sugar substitutes. One difference between the two types concerns calories. Artificial sweeteners have no calories and sugar alcohols do have some calories. According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, the sugar alcohol type can cause bloating, gas and diarrhea. This can occur with as little as 10 grams consumed but often 50 grams and more cause digestive upset. The artificial sweetener type has not been proven to cause stomach upset.
Types of Sugar Substitutes
Artificial sweeteners sometimes are derived from natural substances but some are synthetic. In the United States, the FDA has approved the artificial cheap jerseys china sweeteners acesulfame potassium known as Sweet One, aspartame known cheap jerseys as Equal and NutraSweet, saccharin known as SugarTwin or Sweet'N Low, and sucralose or Splenda. Sugar alcohols include mannitol, sorbitol, cheap nfl jerseys xylitol and lactitol. Sugar alcohols do not contain ethanol like alcoholic beverages do. This type of sugar substitute is the primary culprit in stomach upset. Sugar alcohols like xylitol and mannitol cause diarrhea because of their osmotic effect. They pull fluid into the digestive tract and if enough gets ingested, the result is diarrhea and gas. In the past, saccharin carried a health warning but it has since been determined that saccharin is safe and the warning was removed. Sugar alcohols also get a safe rating but should be used sparingly since large doses can cause problems. reports on two cases in which the subjects had lost considerable amounts of weight because of diarrhea. Doctors then discovered that both subjects had chewed large amounts of sorbitol containing gum every day. Sugar alcohol type substitutes do not have the sweetness of sugar in equal amounts. This requires using larger amounts of sugar alcohol. However, the extra volume of sugar alcohols make them better for baking. Reports of stomach upset from artificial sweetener type substitutes exist, but no scientific evidence for this has come to light. In equal amounts, artificial sweeteners taste much sweeter than sugar, so smaller amounts of artificial sweetener are needed to get the same level of sweetness as sugar.Articles Connexes:

Futuremark 3DMark06
As opposed to 3DMark06, 3DMark06 shows a certain advantage of the GeForce 9800 GTX although it is not enough to compete with the ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2 which has as many as 640 shader processors.
Interestingly, the new card enjoys a bigger advantage in the SM2.0 than in the SM3.0 tests although its main and shader domain frequencies are increased proportionally, by about 4%, in comparison with the GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB. Perhaps the first SM2.0 test has lots of memory accesses as it uses numerous light sources and high-resolution textures, including detailed lighting/shadowing maps. And the new card has a higher memory bandwidth than the GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB: 70.4GBps against 62GBps.
The individual SM2.0 tests confirm our supposition. There is indeed a 7-8% performance increase relative to the GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB in the first test, but in the second test the gap is only 4%. So, it is the first test that contributed the most to the overall result.
The GeForce 9800 GTX enjoys a bigger advantage over the GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB in the second test: 8% against 5%. This must be due to the same reason as in the SM2.0 tests: the new card uses faster memory.
