Looking forward to the flavor of a home-grown tomato after months of the tasteless fare offered in grocery stores? Unless you are vigilant, diseases, pests, and environmental problems can rob you of that perfect tomato.
Fusarium and Verticillium are soil-borne fungi that cause vascular wilt diseases in tomatoes. They grow in the water-conducting tissues of the plant. A close look will reveal brown discoloration in the tomato's stem. Unable to receive nourishment through the damaged vessels, leaves turn yellow and begin shriveling from the ground upward and the plant dies (see above photo). There is no treatment, but vascular wilt diseases can be prevented. The incidence of these diseases has increased with the growing popularity of heirloom, non-resistant, varieties. When choosing seeds or plants for your garden, buy resistant varieties (labeled VFN). Rotate crops. Avoid planting tomatoes, potatoes, or peppers in the same location for 3-4 years. Be sure to remove and destroy all diseased plants.
Brown discoloration of stem with fusarium wilt
Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) is an increasing problem in the home garden. The disease begns with dark spots that form on leaves and spread to stems, forming cankers. The affected side of the plant develops bronzing of the leaves. The growing tips die back and the growth of the plant is stunted. The fruit develops yellow spots and rings in a mosaic pattern. There is no treatment for the infected plants and they should be discarded.
TSWV is spread by western flower thrips. This insect is very difficult to control. As weeds are often host plants to thrips, they should be kept to a minimum in the areas surrounding the vegetable garden. When planting your garden, be sure to buy certified virus-free seed and plant varieties that are labeled for TSWV resistance.
Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus
Infection by the tobacco mosaic virus causes crinkling and light to dark mottling of foliage. When cut open, the fruit shows browning inside. This disease is easily spread by direct contact with tobacco products or on the hands, clothing and tools of those who have handled tobacco products. Be sure to wash your hands carefully before working in the garden if you are a smoker. Choose plants that are labeled with a 'T' after the variety. This indicates a higher resistance to the tobacco mosaic virus. Infected plants and debris must be removed and destroyed to prevent spread of the disease to healthy plants.

Septoria leaf spot and early blight occur less commonly in our dry climate. These diseases result when soil is splashed up on the leaves by rain or sprinklers. They can be prevented by mulching and avoidance of overhead watering.
Septoria Leafspot
There are a number of insects that can cause tomato problems. Most noticeable are the hornworms. These 3-4 inch caterpillars devour the foliage near the top of the plant. They are easily picked off and disposed of. Bacillus thuringiensis, rotenone or Sevin insecticides can control them when they are small.
Aphids suck the juices from the plant. They can be found on the underside of leaves and identified by the sticky honeydew they produce. Aphids can be effectively controlled with insecticidal soap.
Psyllids, another small insect that sucks plant juices, are more of a problem some years than others. They cause the foliage to turn yellow and curl. Plants are stunted and often produce no fruit. Insecticidal soap is also effective against psyllids.
Flea Beetles chew small holes into the leaves, leaving it looking as though it had been "blasted" with fine shot.
Environmental problems
Distortion of the tomato is often the result of an environmental problem.
With blossom end rot, a small water-soaked spot appears near the blossom end of the tomato. As it enlarges, the spot becomes dark brown to black, sunken and leathery. This happens when calcium is not readily available to developing fruit. Calcium imbalance can result from fluctuations in soil moisture caused by improper irrigation or prolonged dry weather. Other causes are high nitrogen levels from fertilizer, or a disruption of the root system. You can prevent blossom end rot by the correct application of nitrogen, and keeping the plants mulched to maintain moisture. Mulching also helps to control weeds and eliminate the need for cultivation that can damage roots.
Blossom End Rot
The sudden exposure of fruits to direct sunlight in hot, dry weather can cause sunscald. This results in white or yellow patches on the side of the tomato exposed to the sun. To avoid sunscald, limit pruning and keep foliage healthy to provide shade and protection for the ripening fruit.
Misshapen or malformed fruit can be caused by cool weather occurring during fruit set or from herbicide exposure.
Catfacing is an abnormality that develops on the blossom end of susceptible tomato varieties. It results from cool weather at blossom time and causes the fruit to pucker and have deep crevices.
Growth cracks occur as a result of the rapid growth stimulated by wet weather following a dry period. Two types of growth cracks affect the stem end of tomatoes: concentric and radial. Concentric cracking produces circular cracks around the stem end of the fruit. Radial cracks spread outward from the stem scar.
Growth cracks
Leaf roll, or leaf curl, is a physiologic distortion that may develop with periods of cool, rainy weather. It cause the lower leaves to roll upward and become thick and leathery. Leaf roll does not affect plant growth or fruit production and requires no treatment.
Leaf Roll
Herbicides can distort the foliage and fruit of tomatoes. They are especially sensitive to 2,4-D. Damage can bend the leaves down, causing cupping and thickening. New leaves are narrow and twisted and do not fully expand. Fruit may be catfaced and fail to ripen. Exposure can occur when herbicides are applied to lawns for weed control and the spray "drifts". Resultant fumes can also effect the plants for several days after treatment. Clippings from grass that has been sprayed with a herbicide should not be used as mulch in the vegetable garden. If the exposure is minimal, the plant will outgrow the injury. Be sure to water the affected plants thoroughly and often.

Fire season sparks warning
March 4, 2009
Fire and weather officials say a big grass fire in Melrose should raise a red flag for everyone across eastern New Mexico.
Strong winds Tuesday carried flames from a burning trash pit over dry grass, igniting a grass fire that ate its way across about 300 acres of grassland northwest of Melrose, according to Melrose Fire Chief Kenny Jacobs.
Jacobs says the fire comes at the start of fire season, when dry conditions and strong winds could start strong blazes.
Any spark could lead to massive fires, he said.
"The fire season is fixing to get bad for all the departments around here as far as grass fires go unless we get some rain," he said.
Melrose got about .38 inches of rain last month, which was its first amount of precipitation for the year according to the National Weather Service.
Most of eastern New Mexico is under a red flag warning for fire hazards until Friday.
Conditions for the warning include 20 mph winds or greater, humidity below 15 percent, according to weather service Meteorologist Mark Fettit.
It took firefighters from Melrose and Fields about two hours to get Tuesday's grass fire under control. The fire department has mutual aid agreements with surrounding cities and villages in case a fire grows beyond their control.
Jacobs said Melrose firefighters have already battled small grass fires on right of ways by roads and highways.
But Tuesday's blaze was the biggest for the year.
During the fire season, Jacobs said residents should avoid igniting open flames anywhere in the county.
"People ought to understand it's a dry situation and until there's a ban passed by some type of government entity, there's nothing that we can do to enforce," he said.
The county introduced a open flames ordinance last year, but later stamped it out because of a state statue already in place.

Should children pick their own reading? J. Martin Rochester is dubious. He spoke to a young high school principal with new PhD in education about "the difficulty of getting students to summon the patience, stamina, and will to read dense text, particularly book-length writings, in an age of instant gratification, sound-bites, jazzy graphics, and condensed versions of knowledge."
The principal said, "Today's students are actually smarter and better than students of yesteryear, since students today get to choose their own readings."
Really? I immediately wondered whether we should trust the judgment of adolescents, much less pre-adolescents, to decide for themselves what makes educational sense.
Except at a few high school in affluent suburbs, students are studying less, Rochester writes. "Most fifteen- through seventeen-year-olds study less than one hour a day," according to surveys.
A 2011 study by UCLA's Higher Education Research Institute found that only 39 percent of incoming college freshmen "report that they studied 6 or more hours a week on average as high school seniors." . . . In the 2010 study Academically Adrift, Richard Arum and Josipa Roska found an overall 50-percent decline in the number of hours a student spends studying from previous decades; less than half of the students surveyed had ever written more than twenty pages for any class, and relatively few had been assigned more than forty pages of reading per week.
How many students will choose to work harder than they must? Diane Ravitch once asked: "What child is going to pick up Moby Dick?"
In an Honors English course at Rochester's local high school, students were told to pick a "great book" to read for a semester project. One student picked Paris Hilton's autobiography.

Kia's GT4 Stinger Concept
Sports car lovers dream of fun drivers like this. A skinny-light, sexy-styled, rear-drive coupe with a 315-horse turbo four banger, six-speed stick and a sticker in the mid-$20s. Kia's GT4 Stinger Concept may have a dumb name, but it checks all the right boxes. The Korean auto maker's California design studio came up with the coupe's gorgeous wrapper which has more bulges than Kim Kardashian in Spandex, a front end with flavors of Audi's R8 and a very Volvo-esque rear. At 2800 pounds its a waif, which should mean fab performance. But stop salivating; right now it's just a concept.
Cadillac ATS Coupe
There's no rocket science here. Just like Caddy's previous-gen CTS sedan spawned a two-door coupe, the smaller ATS sedan would also go two-door. But there's just a soupçon of disappointment; after the rakish, razor-edged CTS Coupe, this ATS version is about as visually exciting as a cube of tofu. It's like something the design team put together at ten-till-five on a Friday afternoon. Yes, it's pretty, but it could have been so much more. And what's doubly disappointing is that with the introduction of the ATS Coupe, Caddy says there's no need for a CTS two-door. Not fair.
BMW M4 Coupe
The rocket is back. And about time too; we've missed ya. In the same way that BMW's new coupe and convertible versions of the 3-series are now branded '4s', so it is with the M Coupe. But gone is the previous naturally-aspirated 4.0-liter V8. In it's place is a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 rated at 425-hp - 11 more than the old V8 - with a whopping 406 lb-ft of torque available from just 1800rpm. That's an impressive 111 lb-ft increase. Standard shifter is a manual six-speed with an available seven-speed dual clutch auto. Expect 0-to-60 sprinting in around 3.9 secs. They've also hacked around 150 pounds from the weight of the old M3 which should do wonders for the new coupe's handling. Expect it here by late spring.
Mercedes-Benz C-Class
Anyone who thought that Mercedes' perky 'Priced-From-$29,995' CLA would rob sales from the best-selling C-Class may want to take a look at this all-new C. And think again. This stunning sedan is now a Mini-Me version of the flagship S-Class featuring many of the S-Class' cool styling cues. Gaze at it head-on and you could easily be mistaken that you're looking at an S. I love the new headlamps with their sliver of LEDs, the gaping lower intakes and the long, long hood and short rear deck. It's more accommodating too thanks to an extra three inches between the wheels and extra 3.7 inches overall. Initial engine offerings include a 235-hp turbo 2.0-liter four for the C300 and a 329-hp twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 for the C400. Stateside sales start in the fall.
Infiniti Q50 Eau Rouge Concept
If you're Infiniti and a key sponsor of the hugely-successful Red Bull Racing Formula 1 team, you too would want some of the team's pixie-dust to rub-off on your production cars. So put your hands together for the Infiniti Q50 Eau Rouge Concept. For those scratching their head, Eau Rouge is an infamous corner at the Spa Francorchamps race track in Belgium. Why they didn't simply call the car the Q50 Red Bull I don't know. Based on the stock Q50, this so-called concept features a myriad of go-faster body add-ons, like a carbon fiber roof and side skirts, carbon splitters, new bulging steel fenders, and huge 21-inch alloys. No word on the motor under the hood, but Infiniti hints at a honking V8 with over 500 horses and 600 lb-ft of twist. We say "bring it on".

It's God's will that you suffer . . . for righteousness' sake.
Though every Christian would affirm that statement, people interpret it in a number of different ways. For some, it's doing ministry in an inner-city homeless shelter. For others, it's absorbing whatever comments your critics make about your ministry methodology—e.g., the mega-church or multi-site pastor who gets called out for franchising his brand. Still others completely ignore the issue of righteousness and godliness. For them, suffering is doing something radical, something crazy, unpopular, even shocking.
Is that what God wants? Crazy suffering? Or should we interpret suffering from a more biblical paradigm, such as,
Matthew 5:11, "Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you."
1 Peter 3:17, "For it is better, if God should will it so, that you suffer for doing what is right rather than for doing what is wrong."
There are a number of popular Christian leaders these days who speak of suffering in terms that affirm their own brand of ministry—it can come across as somewhat self-congratulatory. But take a look around. You have to look long and hard to find Christians who are profoundly committed to the pursuit of righteousness in their lives. It's not popular to confront and condemn the wicked culture, to live apart from it. It's not easy to embrace the scorn of the culture.
Even within evangelicalism, there are those who are quick to ridicule earnest, godly Christians for holding to scruples they deem to be prudish, fundamentalist, or way too traditional. It's the cool, culturally relevant Christians who trumpet contextualization and talk about being missional. Sadly, they join the world's chorus, ridiculing sincere, pure-hearted Christians who hunger and thirst for righteousness. For doing right, they unjustly suffer, and that's God's will.
Are you following this aspect of God's will? Here's John MacArthur to explain…

A message like this separates the wheat from the chaff. Paul informs us in Romans 8:17 that our being glorified with Christ is conditioned upon our suffering with Christ. He goes on to state that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will one day be revealed. All whom God foreknew He predestined, called, justified, and glorified (Romans 8:29, 30). If glorification with Christ is conditioned upon our suffering with Him and all whom God calls will ultimately be glorified, then it stands to reason that not only are none of His children without chastening (Hebrews 12:8) but none will be exempt from suffering with Christ either. Indeed all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution (2 Timothy 3:12). As I stated in a previous post, without holiness, no one (no exception) shall see the Lord (see Hebrews 12:14).
No doubt you have heard many quote part of Romans 8:28, God causes all things to work together for the good…. No doubt the vast majority of them assumed that the good to which most things worked was that which satisfied their fleshly desires. The text reveals otherwise. The good for which God causes all things to work together for His children is that of being conformed to the image of His Beloved Son. If His Beloved Son learned obedience through suffering (Hebrews 5:8) how much more so must we!
A word of encouragement to those of you who are pursuing holiness in the fear of the Lord and are suffering for His name sake; in our glorified state we will serve our Glorious Master in a manner in which He is truly worthy, but we will never again have an opportunity to suffer for His name sake. With this in mind, let us embrace with hearts of joy and thanksgiving every opportunity that God brings our way to suffer for the Word, righteousness, and the Name of Christ. – His Unworthy Slave

Noah was a righteousness man in the age of the Flood. He suffered
as he build the Ark to save his family, and the animal by the hand
of God.
Abraham suffered cause his wife was taken by Pharaoh. God brought
her back to him.
Jacob suffered from Laban. God provided family and livestock for him.
Joseph suffered from his brothers that sold him to the Ishmaelites, He
suffer from Potiphar's horny wife. God made Joseph a leader and He
brought his family to him.
Moses, Samuel, David, and etc. Even up to Paul and the rest in the
New Testament.
Thanks for the sermons.

Forgot one, Abel suffered to death in faith to God. His offering was
pleasing in God's sight. But Cain and his offering was not. Cain's jealousy led him to murder his brother.
It wasn't just the offering. It was heart matters. God bless.
Enoch, not much to tell in Jude, He preached to those wicked
ones before God took him to heaven alive.
I read the introduction of the blog. Church shouldn't preach and act worldly at the same time. It can destroy every thing, even the foundations of the church. Like building a house on sand. Sad.
Dan, I enjoyed your posts. However, I would submit to you that in regards to Abraham, he suffered the temporary lose of his wife as a result of his unbelief in lying about Sarah being his sister. His sin of unbelief illustrates to us the fact that holiness in the life of a true believer will never be perfect in this life. By faith Abraham obeyed God when he left his relatives and country and went out not knowing where he was going (Hebrews 11:8). Fearing man, he stumbled in unbelief and lied about his wife being his sister. God chastened him through the temporary loss of his wife (God punishes the sins of one man with the sins of another). However, later on in his life we see the crown jewel of faith displayed in his obeying God in offered up his son Isaac. Fearing God (Genesis 22:12), he considered (added up all the facts and concluded) that God is able to raise men even from the dead (Hebrews 11:19). This happened at a time when no one had ever been raised from the dead! This example of faith and the example of faith on the part of Rahab when she risked her life (an act of treason against a nation about to be destroyed by God) by receiving the messengers and sending them out another way are the two examples used by James to demonstrate the characteristics of a faith that saves as opposed to a "faith" that cannot save (see James 2:14-26)
A life of faithfulness that is demonstrated by obedience and the pursuit of holiness (fleeing worldliness and with a reverential awe diligently seeking to please God) automatically brings us into conflict with this world. Consistent with the life of Christ, our most violent persecutors will be the unregenerate religious apostates. A genuine piece of currency placed beside a counterfeit exposes the counterfeit as the fraud that it is. Apart from the new birth and the constant reliance upon Christ that is consistent with the nature of that new birth, the Christian life cannot be lived out. Grace and peace be to you Dan. –His Unworthy Slave
Thanks for your comments--both of them. Well said, brother. May we not shrink back to perdition, but believe to the saving of the soul (Heb. 10:39). For we've not yet resisted to bloodshed in our striving against sin (Heb. 12:4).
Thank you. I appreciate it. Yes, I agree.
I understand that there is suffering that refines us and makes us stronger, and I understand that there is suffering from the consequence of sin. However, my question regards those who are affected by the consequence of sin. We all know that the consequence of sin rarely just affects one person, but also those around the sinner. What I constantly question is, those that suffer as a result of another person's sin, how are these people viewed by God? Is their suffering only a means to discipline or refine the person, or does God also have a plan for the sufferer? For instance, corruption in Africa runs deep which means many people suffer because they do not and cannot receive the aid they so desperately need. Now, are the sufferings of these people considered just in God's eyes, or because it is simply a product of sin, it is to be expected and endured? The problem with this from my view is that, when is it enough? How long must these people suffer because of what people completely unrelated to them did? I say God is just and merciful, but when people are suffering greatly, not because of their own sins (and I can hardly see how some of the sufferings these people are going through is because they are going through a refining process) but because of others, it becomes extremely hard to continue to reassure myself that God would really allow this to continue to happen- especially since even though all these people are suffering, they will still probably end up going to hell because they never accepted Jesus Christ in the first place. What do I do?
Hi James,
You are asking questions that many people ask. These are natural questions that come out of a heart full of compassion and a sense of injustice. Anyone with God's heart cannot see a battered woman and starving children without sensing deep and real hurt for them. So you ask good questions.
Before I attempt to answer your questions, let me first say that "the secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever..." (Deuteronomy 29:29). There are many aspects related to suffering that we simply will never know in this life. The Lord has seen fit to keep hidden many mysterious and difficult things (probably in large part because we couldn't handle or understanding them in our sinful state). So we must always acknowledge that the Lord is God and we are not His judge. God is good and gracious and merciful, and what we see or experience does not change that even if we don't understand how to reconcile everything.
With that said let me point out a few things that may be helpful in thinking about this:
First, this discussion is almost always built up as if those who suffer are always innocent in God's eyes. We must remember that every person who has not trusted in Christ's atoning work for salvation is an enemy of God regardless of their social and welfare status. Therefore it would be wrong to accuse God of allowing perfectly (in every sense) people to suffer. Whatever humans suffer in this life, if they do not yet have eternal life, will only increase a thousand-fold in eternity. We must remember that.
Second, we must also remember that God is not responsible for sin, nor is He in any sense obligated to remove suffering from anyone. James 1:13 clearly says that God cannot be tempted, nor does He tempt anyone. So whatever suffering exists, exists at the hand of sinful men. Furthermore, God is not obligated to remove suffering because, as I said in the first point, we all receive in this life infinitely more grace than we deserve. Believer and unbeliever alike are benefactors of God's patience and grace. The unbeliever, no matter how difficult the circumstance, should cherish his life on earth because his eternal life will be unimaginably worse.
Third, Scripture is quite clear that all kinds of suffering are used by God to accomplish His will. There is the undeserved suffering of Joseph that God used to save Israel from the famine. There is the deserved suffering of the Canaanites that God used to fulfill His promises to Israel. There is the infinitely undeserved suffering of Christ that has accomplished redemption for the world. There is the undeserved suffering of Paul as he spent years in prison that resulted in God's Word spread through the ages. There is the deserved suffering of criminals who come to Christ in prison and evangelize in a way no one else could. We could go on and on and on. God accomplishes His purposes through deserved and undeserved suffering.
Fourth, for believers, Romans 8:28-29 is clear that everything that happens to us works out for our good, namely, to make us more like Christ. Suffering, for the believer, is a refining event. Therefore suffering is not to be shunned, but as James 1:3 says, to be considered joy because of the growth it causes in us. This growth is sometimes a disciplining activity where God is cleansing us from sin. Other times it is a sharpening and training activity where God is simply maturing us into greater Christlikeness. Believers always have remnant sinful flesh, and we cannot always tie suffering absolutely to discipline or training, but we can always say that God is refining us one way or another.
Fifth, when is it enough for the believer? According to 1 Corinthians 10:13 God knows when enough is enough and we cannot take anymore. He will not allow us to go through something we cannot handle, but will provide a way for us to endure it. This promise is based on God's faithfulness. No one can say, "this is too much" because God's very name rests on the fact that you can handle it. Unbelievers cannot claim the same promise, but I think it is logical to say that the only thing unbelievers experience that they can't ultimately handle is what kills them. People around the world are experiencing right now things most of us wouldn't wish on our worst enemies. Yet God is giving them the common and not-so-common grace to endure the trial. And again, what these unbelievers are experiencing right now is nothing compared to hell. So if anything, it is God's compassion that is holding them in this life giving them every second to repent lest they slip into the depths of eternal agony.
I'll leave here for now. Feel free to ask follow up questions, but let me recommend a couple really helpful resources: John's "Making Sense Out of Suffering" brief series, and Trials & Suffering Collection Volumes 1 and Volume 2. These various things you can read online or download free, or purchase the CD sets. Also, Randy Alcorn has written a new book that I've heard is excellent called If God is Good: Faith in the Midst of Suffering and Evil.
Grace and peace

Adding a lamp or two to your space can be a fun way to change its look in addition to providing extra light. There are several basic types of lamps, which offer different features.
Floor lamps rest on the floor and are usually quite bright. They're available in many different styles, with different shade types and bulb options, and they may hold one bulb or many.
Table lamps are intended to rest on a table, desk or counter. They usually have shades that direct light downward toward the base of the lamp. They can also hold one bulb or many.
Desk lamps are designed to sit on a desk or table and light the area where you work. Most have adjustable necks so that you can control where the light is brightest.
Accent lamps are decorative lamps used to affect the mood in a room or to highlight interesting spaces. They tend to be relatively small.
At Walmart, you'll find a wide variety of lamps at Every Day Low Prices. Save money. Live better.

Rebecca Soni turned in the second-fastest time of the year in the women's 200m breast and missed the American record held by Amanda Beard by 16-hundredths of a second.
She led the race from start to finish and was a hundredth of a second ahead of world-record pace at 100 meters. She finished about two body-lengths ahead of the rest of the field, leaving the rest to fight for second place.
The second spot went to Beard, the defending Olympic gold medalist in 2:25.13. Beard has now qualified for four Olympic teams in this event.
"You never get used to this," Beard said. "I'm pumped. Not a lot of people expected me to make this team. I knew I could make it, but I knew it was a long shot. I haven't had a lot of training under my belt, and I'm not feeling 100 percent, but fortunately, it worked out fine. I think my experience really helped me out here.

Sapphire Technology, one of the main add-in-card partners of ATI Technologies, started to supply its RADEON X800 XT-based graphics cards into the retail market. Unfortunately for those who demand to have the fastest graphics card up-to-date, the price for the product is much higher compared to other high-end PC components.
Monster Performance Goes Live
ATI RADEON X800 XT-series graphics cards are ATI's flagship offerings for early Summer 2004 that have recommended price of $499. The RADEON X800 XT chip contains 16 pixel pipelines with 6 geometry pipelines and is clocked at 525MHz. The graphics card itself comes with 256MB of 256-bit 1.6ns GDDR3 memory operating at 1120MHz as well as D-Sub, DVI, TV-Out and optional VIVO connector. ATI's flagship offering RADEON X800 XT graphics card outperformed NVIDIA's top-of-the-line GeForce 6800 Ultra in a lot of cases based on the result of numerous gaming benchmarks conducted by X-bit labs.
The RADEON X800 family of graphics processors is ATI's second generation breed of DirectX 9.0-supporting graphics engines that generally revamps performance and brings some new capabilities that are aimed to improve realism in conventional 3D games. ATI's RADEON X800-series does not sport some capabilities NVIDIA's new chips are able to execute, such as Shader Model 3.0.
$862 per Graphics Card?
Akiba PC Hotline reports that Japanese retailers charge customers from $682 to $862 per single Sapphire ATI RADEON X800 XT graphics card, which is higher than competing products now and other high-end devices in the pasts.
The first batch of the GeForce 6800 Ultra graphics cards cost quite a lot. In
ATI RADEON 9800 XT graphics cards were priced from $485 to $564 in the
Astonishing Speed in Limited Quantities
Alienware, one of the largest builders of high-performance personal computer for gamers and other enthusiasts, last week started to offer ATI RADEON X800 XT graphics cards with its leading-edge systems. Additionally, the firm has other powerful options for customers, such as ATI RADEON X800 PRO as well as NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra.
The default configuration of Alienware Area-51 system includes the RADEON X800 PRO graphics card. In order to upgrade to NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra graphics card customers have to pay extra $265, in order to change the graphics card to NVIDIA GeForce FX 5950 Extreme, end-users have to bid extra $30, while installing ATI RADEON X800 XT graphics card cost customers extra $108.

But there will be no death panels
That's what we've been assured would never exist if government is in charge of your health care and paying all costs.
That, of course, in the face of a promise to lower health care costs as well as the fact that the vast majority of health care spending takes place at the end of life. Forget those conflicting points, death panels will never happen because, well because the left says so.
Incentive? Well that's sort of a foreign word to the left so forgive them if they don't understand that those two dueling points above provide incentive to end lives whether or not they're willing to call it the result of death panels or not.
The example?
Well the good old British NHS of course.
Shocking news from England today has top NHS officials indicating doctors acting in the UK government-run health program annually kill as many as 130,000 patients prematurely because of overcrowding at hospitals, medical clinics and nursing homes.
In fact they even have a name for doing that – the Liverpool Care Pathway.
Sounds so … benign.
He claimed there was often a lack of clear evidence for initiating the Liverpool Care Pathway, a method of looking after terminally ill patients that is used in hospitals across the country. It is designed to come into force when doctors believe it is impossible for a patient to recover and death is imminent.
It can include withdrawal of treatment – including the provision of water and nourishment by tube – and on average brings a patient to death in 33 hours. There are around 450,000 deaths in Britain each year of people who are in hospital or under NHS care. Around 29 per cent – 130,000 – are of patients who were on the LCP.
Or, in other words, the government and doctors playing God. And, naturally, it has devolved into something done often just for the medical caregiver's convenience:
Professor Pullicino claimed that far too often elderly patients who could live longer are placed on the LCP and it had now become an 'assisted death pathway rather than a care pathway'. He cited 'pressure on beds and difficulty with nursing confused or difficult-to-manage elderly patients' as factors.
Nice. LCP'd because they put what must be considered excess demands on the staff. But look at the bright side – costs are cut, an less expensive patient can take the bed and everyone is happy.
Except the dead bloke and his family. But, it's not a "death panel":
In the example he revealed a 71-year-old who was admitted to hospital suffering from pneumonia and epilepsy was put on the LCP by a covering doctor on a weekend shift.
Professor Pullicino said he had returned to work after a weekend to find the patient unresponsive and his family upset because they had not agreed to place him on the LCP.
'I removed the patient from the LCP despite significant resistance,' he said.
'His seizures came under control and four weeks later he was discharged home to his family,' he said.
Instead it's just a "death pathway" protocol. So nothing to see here, citizen, move along.

People in markets decide how to allocate their scarce resources (and all resources are scarce in the definition of economics).
Where you suspend the market, RATIONING is a mandatory component of resource allocation.
This is a hard and fast rule. I challenge anyone to show an exception.
Good thing we were spared having that idiot snowbilly as Vice President. Unlike our current Vice Genius, she never knows what she's talking about.
My sister Debbie was on SSI disability. A month ago she went to the ER presenting a high fever and back pain and was sent packing without any testing whatsoever. She returned two more times and was again refused treatment, the forth time her case worker demanded they treat her. She was diagnosed with a staff infection that had turned sepsis, she was given 48 hours to live. She didn't make it that long. I watched her die. We buried Debbie last Friday, she orphaned a 15-year-old boy.
Bastards are going to pay.
On those facts, that is dead-bang malpractice. My condolences on your loss. Search hard, and find a good law firm for your nephew.
Already on it.
In the medical field and heard a neurosurgeon a few months back talking about what his professional society could parse out of the new healthcare law. Surprise! Turns out that if you're over 70 and have a stroke, you get 'comfort care'. So Ms. Sebelius has decreed that when you are 69 years and 364 days old, you apparently are still a taxpayer worth saving. After that, well…

Senate Votes to Reinstate Barr Program
The Senate has passed a bill that would reinstate the Block Aircraft Registration Request (Barr) program, which allowed aircraft owners to block public access to tail numbers. "We thank the Senate for approving this bill…and we hope the House will finalize [companion] legislation to reinstate the program as soon as possible," said Ed Bolen, president and CEO of the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA). While the House considers doing that, the NBAA and Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association are moving ahead with a lawsuit against the FAA, seeking to force it to reinstate Barr, which it dismantled last August. Court hearings in that case are set to start December 3.

Eilhart von Oberge
Eilhart von Oberge fl. late twelfth century-
German poet.
A seminal figure among German courtly poets, Eilhart von Oberge is the author of the oldest complete version of the medieval romance of Tristan and Isolde (or, Tristant and Isalde, in Eilhart's orthography). In his Tristant (c. 1170) Eilhart relates the tale of a tragic love affair between the eponymous Cornish hero and an Irish princess wedded to his uncle. Featuring a protagonist controlled by his predetermined fate, Eilhart's Tristant is viewed by contemporary scholars as an homage to the already declining feudal social order and epic literary style of the medieval period. Because the work is presumed to be the closest among many versions to the narrative of the lost French prose archetype, scholars tend to value Eilhart's rendering of the tale particularly highly. Tristant is frequently studied in conjunction with other adaptations of the same material, including those by the French poet Béroul and the Anglo-Norman bard Thomas of Britain. In addition, the poem is important for its considerable influence on later versions of the story, including Gottfried von Strassburg's Tristan (c. 1210) and its subsequent variations.
Biographical Information
Almost nothing is known about the life of Eilhart aside from his composition of the Tristant. Extant documentary evidence from the court of Braunschweig, including nearby Oberg, suggests that Eilhart may have been a vassal to Duke Heinrich the Lion. Some scholars speculate that he may have been commissioned to write the poem by Heinrich's second wife, Mathilde, but no conclusive proof exists to support this claim. While the majority opinion holds that Eilhart was born at Oberg and lived his life there, it is also possible that he may have composed his famous work elsewhere, or under the direction of another patron. In addition to the paucity of evidence concerning his life and career, no existing records authenticate the time or place of Eilhart's death.
Textual History
Scholars generally regard Eilhart's version of the Tristan story as the most faithful to the original French prose Tristan (speculatively dated between 1150 and 1160), which is now lost. Probably composed in about 1170, Eilhart's poem may have been written as late as 1190, according to some theories. Its survival into the contemporary period relies on a number of sources, including three fragmentary twelfth- to thirteenth-century manuscripts, three redactions from the fifteenth century (all complete), and a late-fourteenth-century Czech translation that includes added material to compensate for missing scenes from Eilhart's version. An extant medieval chapbook also offers a rendering of Eilhart's story in prose outline. Contemporary translations of the Tristant include one in French verse and an English prose adaptation by J. W. Thomas.
Major Works
Eilhart's sole work, the Tristant, depicts the life of the noble warrior Tristant, a peerless knight in service of his uncle, King Mark of Cornwall. Stoic and brave, Tristant brings high honor upon himself by successfully winning battle after battle. His main adversary off the battlefield, King Mark, is usually considered to be a rather conventional villain figure (although some critics have questioned this simplification of his character). The singular object of Tristant's desire, Isalde the Fair, returns the hero's love passionately, but remains unattainable to him because she is married to Mark. For her, love is a form of exquisite suffering, and life without Tristant is inconsequential. In an early encounter in the story, Tristant challenges the Irish duke Morolt, who has unjustly demanded that Cornwall pay him tribute. Engaging in single combat on a small island, Tristant emerges victorious after delivering Morolt a mortal wound to the head. He later learns, however, that Morolt has poisoned him during the battle. Now Tristant must visit Morolt's sister, Queen Isalde of Ireland, in order to acquire an antidote. Healed by the Queen, Tristant subsequently slays a dragon that has been terrorizing the kingdom of Ireland. In return he secures the Queen's daughter, Isalde the Fair, as a bride for King Mark. On the return trip to Cornwall, Tristant mistakenly drinks a love potion prepared by the Irish Queen for her daughter and King Mark and instantly falls in love with the young maiden. After the marriage of Isalde and Mark, the secret affair between Tristant and Isalde becomes the central feature of the tale, as Mark and other jealous noblemen of the Cornish court attempt to catch Tristant and Isalde in adultery. Meanwhile, the King engages a cunning dwarf to set traps for the lovers and gather evidence of their deceit. Eventually, Mark discovers Tristant and Isalde after they have run off to the forest together. Clothed and sleeping, they lie separated by Tristant's sword. Quietly, Mark exchanges the sword for his own (an act they will be certain to notice when they awake) and departs. Afterwards, Tristant is exiled and years pass. The hero marries another woman, but cannot forget his love for Isalde. When it becomes clear that he will never again be with his beloved, he loses his will to live and dies. Shortly thereafter, Isalde arrives to join the mourners of his death. Lying beside his motionless body, she dies as well. In a symbolic denouement, two trees spring up from their graves, their limbs intertwined. In addition to the main action described above, the poem also features several Arthurian interludes, including a visit to the court of King Arthur, a stag hunt, and appearances by other noteworthy knights of the tradition. Scholars perceive the poem only peripherally as a work of Arthurian legend, insisting that such sketches in Eilhart's Tristant occur only briefly, serving to juxtapose an established epic setting with the closer and more problematic court of King Mark. Thematically, Eilhart's Tristant has been viewed as a depiction of heroic valor subverted by reckless passion. The inexorable progress of fate looms large in the poem, demonstrating that nothing can be done to change its path once certain events have transpired, even if seemingly by pure chance. Overall, the poem's theme is thought to hinge on its blending of heroic honor, fate, and passionate love.
Critical Reception
Scholars have traditionally analyzed Eilhart's Tristant alongside other versions of the Tristan legend from roughly the same period, including those by the French poet Béroul, the Anglo-Norman Thomas, and the German Gottfried von Strassburg. Through such comparisons, Eilhart's work has been found generally lacking, whether it be in terms of exposition, character delineation, or thematic development. Thus scholars have variously deemed Béroul's version (with its emphasis on passionate love and high adventure), or Thomas's and Gottfried's more psychological renderings of the Tristan legend as superior to Eilhart's somewhat informal and stylistically simplified verse narrative. Additionally, a number of scholars believe that Eilhart may have omitted some original scenes from the story (later included by subsequent authors) for the sake of clarity or brevity. Such omissions are thought to have contributed to Eilhart's avoidance of psychological depth or motivation in his characterizations, a quality often thought to mar the Tristant. Others have questioned Eilhart's use, or misuse, of narrative motivation in the work. Many commentators have acknowledged a lack of traditional narrative plausibility in Eilhart's Tristant, arguing that the inexplicable and supernatural forces of fate and chance condition and carry the action of the poem. Still others have observed that Eilhart's narrative was perhaps intended primarily as a defense of the feudal social order and its ideology. The author's focus on the inexorable power of destiny, in contrast to his characters' actions or desires, frees Tristant, Isalde, and Mark from guilt or complicity and externalizes the concerns in the story, making it an exemplum of deterministic fate and providential order in action. In this sense, scholars have noted, the poem validates the status quo of feudal hegemony, rather than analyzing the individual merits of its protagonist or other principal figures. Despite all of these objections, a contemporary trend in critical thought on the Tristant has been to question the received view of the poem, and instead to study the work on its own artistic merits. Recalling elements that made the poem popular in a bygone era, late twentieth-century commentators have begun to admire the dynamic qualities of Eilhart's storytelling technique, including his exploitation of narrative intervention to carry the tale, his robust style unimpeded by the demands of psychological motivation, as well as his use of low, whimsical, and almost mock-heroic humor—features almost universally lacking in contemporaneous versions of the story. Minor elements, such as Eilhart's clever use of epithets in delineating character and foreshadowing action, have also been noted. Putting aside discussion of its similarities to or departures from other versions of the tale, commentators on Eilhart's Tristant have instead concentrated on its skilled blend of romantic and epic forms, and have admired its artistic integrity as it traces the heroic arc of Tristant's life and the events culminating in his tragic demise.

Eilhart von Oberg postpones the dénouement of his tragic Tristan love story by inserting a cameo that mirrors the sad destiny of his main characters.1 This observation refers to the tale of Gariole and Kehenis, who find themselves deeply in love but thwarted by an evil, jealous husband.

The scene in the Morrois forest, where the wronged husband, King Marc, sees Tristran and Yseut, the fugitive lovers, asleep, decides not to kill them, and retires silently, leaving tokens of his presence, is one of the most important in the whole Tristran tradition.1 The verse redactors,...

This is a proposal to add a feature to teachat forums and IM.
There are so many vendors on here it's difficult sometimes to distinguish the regular users from vendors. I think it would be very helpful to add a 'vendor' badge or ribbon across the corner of the icons of users who are vendors both in instant messenger and in the forums. This may be similar to the 'online' badge or a small colored frame around their picture or whatever.
Comments by vendors on all sorts of topics have an entirely different context and weight than comments by regular users, and I think knowing who is a vendor would be very very helpful in filtering information and giving it proper context.

Average overstated real estate tax deductions are small$85 per overstatement in 2001but the net overstatement, which generally would reduce taxes owed, was about $2.5 billion. IRS has not estimated how much these overstated deductions improperly reduced tax liabilities, but the annual total loss could be substantial.
GAO first reported 17 years ago that taxpayers overstated the real estate tax deduction because real estate tax bills did not distinguish between deductible taxes and nondeductible user fees, and IRS education and enforcement activities were inadequate. GAO conducted a follow-up study in 2009 to determine whether taxpayers were continuing to overstate the deduction.
IRS can take several steps to help improve individual taxpayer compliance with the itemized deduction for real estate taxes and thus reduce associated revenue losses. Individuals who wish to comply in claiming a real estate tax deduction face challenges. The rules for deductibility can be complex as illustrated below.
Determining What Qualifies As Deductible Is Complex
aCharges for the repair or maintenance of local benefits and associated interest are deductible.
GAO estimated in 2009 that almost half of local governments nationwide included charges in 2007 on their real estate tax bills that were generally nondeductible (e.g., fees for trash and garbage pickup). About 78 percent of those local governments did not label such charges in a way that would alert individuals that their real estate tax bill might have nondeductible charges. GAO also estimated that taxpayers in Alameda, California, and Hennepin, Minnesota, counties[1] collectively overstated their 2006 real estate tax deductions between $23 million and $46 million depending on the assumptions used in the estimation methodology.
Local governments generally do not identify for taxpayers which charges on real estate tax bills are deductible because local collectors lack the expertise to identify which charges are federally deductible. Further, taxpayers with mortgages may receive information on real estate tax payments made on their behalf by mortgage servicers, but it does not identify deductible amounts.
Tax preparation software and assistance from paid return preparers may not be sufficient to help taxpayers deduct qualified real estate taxes. Two of the three most frequently used tax preparation software programs for 2008 did not alert taxpayers that some charges on real estate tax bills may not be deductible.[2] Paid tax return preparers invested limited time ensuring that taxpayers deducted qualified real estate taxes.
IRS instructions and guidance for taxpayers on claiming the real estate tax deduction had explained the types of charges that can be deducted. However, they had not adequately informed taxpayers that they should check both real estate tax bills and local government resources to collect information about specific bill charges, which is needed to determine deductibility.
When IRS examiners do audit the real estate tax deduction they usually do not focus on deductibility because they believe the effort required does not justify the likely small changes to taxes that may be due. Rather, they focus on whether the amounts deducted were actually paid. IRS's guidance to examiners does not require them to verify that the entire real estate tax deduction amount is deductible. Examiners are authorized to review many documents, but most of these documents verify whether payment was made rather than whether all of a payment is deductible. Finally, IRS does not know which local governments have large nondeductible charges on their real estate tax bills.
[1] GAO initially selected 5 of the 41 counties with the largest property revenue for its review based on criteria such as the presence of generally nondeductible items on their tax bills. However, GAO limited its analysis to 2 of the 5 counties due to practical limitations with the data from the counties.
[2] These software firms did make changes to their programs to better inform taxpayers what qualifies as deductible real estate taxes in response to discussions with GAO for its May 2009 report.
To help individual taxpayers comply in claiming the real estate tax deduction, GAO recommended in May 2009 that IRS instructions and guidance need to be strengthened and spotlight for taxpayers that the real estate tax bill may include nondeductible charges and that taxpayers need to check for such charges. GAO also recommended that IRS provide guidance on how to get information about which charges are nondeductible. IRS took steps in 2009 to improve its guidance in response to the recommendations, but the effects of the changes remain to be seen.
To help individual taxpayers get the best information and assistance from third parties, GAO recommended that IRS reach out to local governments, mortgage servicers, and the tax preparation industry about clarifying information they provide to individual taxpayers on what is deductible, and/or providing alerts and disclaimers about nondeductible charges that are or may be on their real estate tax bill. In response to GAO's recommendations, IRS created a brochure in 2010 for distribution to such third parties with information on what they can do to help clarify for taxpayers what is and is not deductible.
As of December 2010, IRS still needs to take actions on other recommendations included in GAO's May 2009 report. For example:
Although no precise estimate is available of the potential increased revenues these actions might generate, a relatively modest reduction in total overstated deductions could generate tens or hundreds of millions of dollars annually.[1]
[1] For example, IRS's most recent estimate for 2001 indicated that 5.5 million taxpayers overstated their deductions collectively by $5 billion. A 1-percent to 10-percent reduction in this amount would have reduced overstatements by $50 million to $500 million. The resulting actual tax revenue savings would be much less depending on factors such as the tax rate for these noncompliant taxpayers.
The information contained in this analysis is based on the related GAO products listed under the "Related GAO Products" tab.

the most effective way to control the situation is to charge new members for the privilege of being part of the forum. Peter
Would it work to "grade" members i.e 50 posts gets a nickname like one slice or something and access to a certain amount of info and graduations after that say 100 posts gets access to the calculators etc. that would weed out the stop 'n shoppers from the real fans of pizzamaking and that's coming from me a non noob, cheers Norma
I would think that just about any member here would welcome any question, regardless of how repetitive, if it would increase the chance that someone would stick around, rather than use a tool and be on their way.
I have concluded that the most effective way to control the situation is to charge new members for the privilege of being part of the forum. Peter
This seems to be a popular complaint over the last year or so:- "the problem with new members". Let's say 100 new members join in a month and only 95 of them continue past their first post. Where is the problem? On the other hand if all 100 stayed and were frequent posters, with this continuing to build month on month, then I pretty sure there would be bandwidth issues before long.If a person asks a question and then never shows up again, again I'm not sure I understand what the problem is? There is clearly a dedicated group of frequent posters who view this forum as more than a one-off Q&A session. It would seem they are the most unhappy with the situation with new members.. I'm just not sure I understand why.
It was a simple question, Bob. However I suspect the answer might prove more elusive.Why are people unhappy about the presence, numbers and/or activity of new members? I've seen the same issues and complaints brought up time and time again in multiple threads.
That's why I couldn't figure out quite what you're saying. Besides me; on this thread I believe the "dedicated group" are saying the opposite.Bob
Perhaps it's an issue for another thread. I'm sure we'd al much rather follow Fidel's progress with the dough recipe generator
Fidel's in Japan sleeping right now. Bob
Wouldn't you think he'd be up working on this here app
It's 6am there right now man...let the poor guy have some coffee.
Peter, I'm not sure what you're saying here. Are you saying that, since the vast majority of new members leave anyway, any tool that might streamline that process is not a bad thing?
Sounds very exclusive Pete.
Steve, who has a full time job, a family and all of the attendant obligations. I don't give short shrift to any member. In that vein, if Fidel's tool will help cut back the time that I (or other members) spend with new members, that will make my job a bit easier. Peter
Looking good!

Although not a lot of media tablets have truly high-quality screens, their usage as replacement devices for TVs is increasing. According to global TV replacement study, conducted by NPD DisplaySearch, use of tablets such as Apple iPad and Google Android-based devices by consumers for viewing TV/video content more than doubled year-over-year (YoY) in H1 2012 in 14 regional markets surveyed.
The growth of TV replacement by tablets has occurred in conjunction with increased tablet adoption in many markets. The widespread tablet adoption was driven by improved connectivity infrastructure has facilitated use of these devices as alternate content-viewing devices. The fastest growing region for tablet usage is Turkey, with tablet use growing from 3.1% in 2011 to 16.5% in 2012. In addition, there was strong tablet usage growth in Germany (up nearly fourfold YoY), France and the U.S. (both up more than threefold YoY).
Besides tablets, consumers are also leveraging other alternate electronic devices such as laptops and mobile phones to view TV/video content. The study indicates that more than 70% of consumers use alternate electronic devices such as tablets, notebook PCs, smart phones, MP3 players and desktop computers to view TV/video content. In mature markets like the U.S., the U.K. and Germany, a higher number of people viewed video content on portable computing devices such as tablets and notebook PCs. In emerging markets like China, Indonesia, Russia and Turkey, consumers reported that they view content on mobile devices such as smart phones, likely due to the relatively high penetration of wireless networks.
"While the trends vary by region, it is evident that consumers around the globe are watching more video and TV content with their portable electronic devices as these provide additional means of accessing content. Despite this increase, however, TVs still remain the primary device of choice for viewing TV content, with 30% of consumers reporting that they view TV/video content on TVs alone," noted Riddhi Patel, research director of consumer insights for NPD DisplaySearch.
Despite increasing use of tablets and alternate smart devices, TV replacement cycles were shorter in 2012 than in 2011 in all the countries surveyed as consumers expressed the desire for improved picture quality, larger size and HD performance, all of which are fulfilled with their adoption of flat panels. Increasing availability of these sets in a range of sizes and declining prices meet up with consumer needs and preferences globally. LCD continues to dominate global markets as the flat panel technology of choice.

At its annual Intel Developer Forum, the world's largest maker of microprocessors has formally unveiled its AppUp store, where it would sell applications designed for Atom processors. The store is projected to make it easier for consumers to obtain software that runs properly on low-power low-performance Atom-based systems and to lower dependence of x86 software on operating systems from Microsoft Corp.
During her keynote at Moscone Center West in San Francisco, Renée James, senior vice president and general manager of Intel software and services group, outlined how tightly integrated and optimized software and platforms will deliver new levels of performance, along with fresh capabilities and the importance of creating an innovative experience across the personal computing continuum – from PCs to smart phones to tablets and cars, as well as any number of Internet-connected consumer devices.
At present all netbooks based on Intel Atom processors are running Microsoft Windows opeating system. However, as Atom processors get more suitable for tablets, smartphones and other consumer electronics devices, Intel will need to ensure that software that relies on x86 architecture, but does not rely on Windows, exists and is competitive against programs designed for microprocessors featuring ARM architecture. Establishing AppUp store and encouraging developers to design appropriate software two ways to make Atom-based devices more competitive.
Emphasizing a seamless experience across operating systems, James introduced general availability of the Intel AppUp center netbook app store for consumers. The Intel AppUp center includes both free and paid apps for entertainment, social networking, gaming and productivity, optimized for a netbook's mobility and screen size. To encourage consumers to try new applications, Intel AppUp provides "try before you buy" solutions, encouraging consumers to purchase apps they otherwise might not have. The launch was also marked by the availability of Adobe AIR applications, as well as apps from companies including Accuweather, Barnes & Noble, Funkitron, Gibson Guitars, iWin, Kaplan, Konami and Lifetime.
In an effort to reach netbook owners worldwide, Ms. James announced agreements with Best Buy, UK-based Dixons and India-based Croma to outfit each retailer with the Intel AppUp center – pre-installed on netbooks the stores sell, as well as available for current netbook owners to download online. Similarly, the executive of Intel announced plans from Asustek Computer to ship its version of the Intel AppUp center on netbooks, the "Asus app store," starting in October.
During her keynote, Ms. James highlighted the Intel AppUp Developer Program, designed to drive innovative applications for end users and new revenue opportunities for independent developers and software vendors with programs such as the Intel Million Dollar Development fund.
Renée James acknowledged seamless experiences are only part of the equation. Open operating systems – such as Intel and Nokia's MeeGo, hosted by the Linux Foundation – allow developers to create, invent and innovate. Pointing to contributions from industry leaders, James discussed MeeGo ecosystem momentum, highlighting a variety of MeeGo-based devices and how third-party software developments and the upcoming MeeGo Web runtime, to be released in October, will make it easier to write applications for these devices.

How much calcium is needed?
It is important that we all get enough calcium in our diet. Calcium is one of the most important minerals used by the human body. Most people are aware that we need calcium to maintain healthy bones and teeth.
Of course, with growing children, calcium is needed to help them develop and grow healthy teeth and bones. As adults, we need to take in adequate amounts of dietary calcium to prevent osteoporosis. This condition known as osteoporosis is medically defined as the thinning of bone tissue and loss of bone density over time, due to a lack of adequate amounts of dietary calcium. It is well known that this decreased bone density may lead to bone fractures and injuries from only minor trauma to these weakened bones.
With osteoporosis, bones are more fragile and more prone to fractures, due to their decreased bone density. It most often affects the bones of the hip, spine, and wrist. It is very important for all of us to be aware of osteoporosis because this bone density loss will usually occur without any symptoms at all. Unfortunately, many people are not aware they have this condition until their bones become so weak that even minor trauma such as a sudden strain, twist, or fall results in a fracture.
Currently, it is estimated by the National Institutes of Health that in the United States, more than 40 million people either already have osteoporosis or are at high risk to develop osteoporosis due to decreasing bone mass. This disease can occur in both men and women and at any age, but it is most common in older women.
Further, also according to the NIH, calcium not only helps the human body build strong bones and teeth, but this mineral also works in our body to assist with other essential human body functions. Calcium helps with the proper clotting of blood, is necessary to send and receive nerve signals, helps to squeeze and relax muscles, assists with the release of our hormones, and also helps us to maintain a normal heartbeat. In other words, calcium is a very essential mineral to maintain a healthy human body.
Here are some recommendations from the NIH. The Institute of Medicine recommends a daily calcium intake of 1,000 milligrams for men and women up to age 50, increasing to 1,200 mg for women over age 50 and men over age 70. Further, you will absorb calcium better if you split the dose and take it several times a day in smaller amounts of 500 mg or less each time.
Vitamin D is also very important as it plays a key role in helping your body absorb calcium. You should think of the association between calcium and vitamin D as being similar to that of a locked door and a key. Vitamin D is the key that unlocks the door that allows the calcium to enter our bloodstream.
Specifically, the recommended daily intake for vitamin D is 600 IU (international units) up to age 70. Men and women over age 70 should increase their vitamin D intake to 800 IU daily. Because of this key association of calcium needing vitamin D to be properly absorbed, many calcium supplements are fortified with vitamin D.
It is important to be aware of the role calcium and vitamin D play in the prevention of osteoporosis. Your health care provider and registered dietitians can provide you valuable information regarding the diagnosis, prevention and dietary treatment of this all too common condition.
