How much money can I borrow?
Sign up for Maybank's Personal Loan and you can borrow anything from RM5,000 to RM100,000. The repayment terms are quite easy, you can choose anything from one to six years to pay back the amount you've been lent.
Be aware that all of the Maybank Personal Loan applications are credit checked before approval, the bank will decide how much you can borrow based on your income and expenditure.
Top Tip: If you decide to take a Maybank loan your application form is considered to be acceptance of the offer made by Maybank. So, when you ask a loan of RM50,000, and Maybank chooses to lend you RM25,000, you cannot cancel the agreement and must take the loan of RM25,000.
How much does this Maybank personal loan cost?
There are no processing fees for this Maybank loan. What's more there are no Stamping Fees. Optional personal care insurance is available.
What do I need to apply for this Maybank loan?
No guarantor or security is required to apply for this loan. You will need to provide some supporting documents.
Salaried Employee
- Copy of NRIC (front and back).
- Latest BE Form with official tax receipt.
- Latest three month's salary slips.
- Latest six month's current or savings account statements.
- Copy of MyKad (front and back).
- Business Registration Certificate or Operating License.
- Last 6 month's bank statements.
How do I get my hands on the money?
Generally Maybank process loans quite quickly and you should get approved within 48 hours. When you get the green-light of approval the money you are borrowing will be transferred to your Maybank current or savings account. If you don't have a Maybank account you'll need to open one.
How do I pay the money back?
Repayments start about a month after you've received the money, Maybank will confirm the schedule for payments will be set out in your financing letter.
You can make repayments for your Maybank loan through online banking; cash or cheque in the post; at a Maybank branch; telephone banking; and Standing Instruction.
Can I pay this bank personal loan off early?
You can pay everything off before the end of the loan term. Maybank will charge you RM200 (or 3% of the loan amount, whichever is greater) as an early termination fee.

Slow broadband connections are holding back businesses in Reading, according to a local company.
Andrew Young, managing director of Abbey Windows, said the firm currently struggles with download speeds as slow as 0.5 Mbps and claimed this is limiting potential job creation.
The company has already invested £700,000 in a move to new premises and has hired five new workers, but is hindered by broadband that is so slow it took three hours to upload a video to the firm's website, Get Hampshire reports.
Mr Young was recently visited by the culture secretary Maria Miller to discuss this issue.
He claimed that BT had committed to providing the Portman Road industrial area of Reading - where Abbey Windows is located - with super-fast broadband by October 2012, but there has been no contact from the company ever since the date passed.
Need access to super-fast internet? Tooway satellite broadband is available immediately.

Maybe. Maybe not.
Every manufacturer brags that their AP is the fastest AP in history. I'm here to tell you that Wi-Fi network speed is based on a large set of variables, such as:
- Mix of client population.
- AP and client radio capabilities and specifications (data rate support, beam forming, TPC, output power, sensitivity, radio quality, etc.)
- Distance of each client device connecting to the AP.
- Wi-Fi and non-Wi-Fi interference in the channel.
- High density handling features such as Airtime fairness, band steering, load balancing, RRM, and many others.
- Antenna gain (and directionality) of the AP and client devices and related features such as beam forming that improve RSSI and SNR.
- Signal blockages (e.g. barriers such as walls) in the environment.
- Location of each client relative to the AP and other clients, as well as location of each AP relative to each other.
- Interference rejection (directional antennas or smart antennas).
- AP CPU speed and load (data through the Ethernet ports, application layer functions, control-plane functions, filtering/QoS functions, etc.)
I could likely think of some other affecting factors given more time. Maybe you could leave a comment to list some I forgot.
Just saying, "We have the fastest AP" is like saying, "I'm the best engineer." It should be followed with the questions, "At what?" and "Under what circumstances?"
Such claims are OK if they are accompanied by detailed scenarios and use case descriptions, but a broad claim is easily disproven in the real world. Such bragging will only get worse with the introduction of 802.11ac of course, so expect more of it.
User Experience
How do you define a good user experience? 1Mbps/user? 5Mbps/user? 10Mbps/user? A specified amount of throughput combined with levels of QoS per application type? Think about that for a second. Now ... Think about how many users you could provide "your version" of a good user experience to with a single, high-end AP. 50? 100? 200? 500? Keep it real brotha. Airtime is finite, and management and control frame overhead alone in a super-high density environment becomes an airtime problem, not to mention client-side RF interference when you try to pack so many client devices within range of a single AP. Re-read the list of affecting factors above and apply that to your AP, factoring in your experience with deploying Wi-Fi.
Deployment Scenario (Use Case)
Think about your deployment. Classroom? iPads? As many as 40 iPads per classroom perhaps? Let's dig into this one familiar use case and see how much speed we really need.
Each iPad can pull ~25Mbps, as it's single spatial stream (1SS), non-SGI (65Mbps) capable. If you have 20 iPads on a channel, guess what ... they all basically still share 25Mbps because that one iPad will push the channel to over 80% utilization by itself, and the group of 20 doesn't have much more airtime to work with beyond the first iPad. If you get 30Mbps aggregate throughput on a channel with 20 iPads, you're more than lucky. Count on 25Mbps per channel for each group of 20 iPads due to channel saturation and a nominal amount of noise/interference in any channel (especially in 2.4GHz).
If your system has an excellent Band Steering function, you could then put 20 iPads on each of two radios per classroom, totaling 40 iPads per classroom. Each AP would offer each iPad 1.25 - 1.50 Mbps of throughput.
What does your "walks-on-water-like-Jesus AP" get you now? Nothing if it doesn't have the appropriate features to handle all of the variables. Your client devices don't connect at 450Mbps with 3SS amigo ... and that's the real world. A mixed client population (data rate, band support, power output, radio sensitivity, distance from the AP, etc.) is the 95% use case in the enterprise. So whether in the classroom with iPads (1SS) or in the enterprise with a mixed client population, jack-jawing about "my AP is the fastest" just isn't where it's at.
Netgear recently launched an 802.11ac AP, but you don't see enterprises running out to buy them, right? Why? Features. They don't have any. Just having high-data-rate-capable radios doesn't mean the AP is appropriate to the market or use case, and it doesn't mean that the radio will offer you speed or throughput under most conditions.
"Fast" is relative brotha-man.
Know thy Wi-Fi.

Acute pharyngitis is one of the most common problems encountered by the practicing pediatrician. When managing these patients, it is important to distinguish between those children with viral pharyngitis (usually ≥70% of the cases) and those children with group A β-hemolytic streptococcal (GABHS) pharyngitis. Children with viral pharyngitis will not benefit from antimicrobial therapy. The inappropriate use of such therapy in these patients generates an unnecessary expense, exposes the child to the risk of adverse reactions, and may contribute to the selection of antimicrobial-resistant organisms in the upper respiratory tract. In contrast, antimicrobial therapy for children with GABHS pharyngitis reduces the risk of nonsuppurative (eg, acute rheumatic fever) and suppurative (eg, peritonsillar abscess) complications, reduces the risk of transmission to contacts, and shortens the clinical course of the illness.1

WASHINGTON TALK; Perle Is Bowing Out, His Goals and Acerbity Intact
By MICHAEL R. GORDON, Special to the New York Times
Published: March 13, 1987
WASHINGTON, March 12— Richard N. Perle, a staunch opponent of past arms control agreements with the Soviet Union and one of this city's most accomplished bureaucratic infighters, will leave office this spring, having accomplished his two main policy objectives: He has helped keep the Reagan Administration from concluding new agreements he deemed unsound and he has helped keep it from observing the old ones he was against from the start.
Mr. Perle, who today formally announced his long-expected decision to give up his post as Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Policy, has had more than his share of critics on arms control. But even his enemies agree that he has been one of the most influential members of the Reagan Administration's arms control team.
For example, when Secretary of State George P. Shultz heads for Moscow next month to discuss a possible treaty on medium-range arms with the Soviet Foreign Minister, Eduard A. Shevardnadze, Mr. Perle is scheduled to be a prominent member of the American party. Neither he nor his chief, Defense Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger, has ever trusted the State Department to deal firmly enough with the Russians. ''Richard has been the major player on arms control in this town for many years,'' said Representative Les Aspin, the Wisconsin Democrat who heads the House Armed Services Committee and who frequently crossed ideological swords with Mr. Perle.
Once out of the Pentagon, Mr. Perle plans to write a novel about Washington policy-making. But he is expected to remain an influential player in the arms control arena, serving as a special adviser to Mr. Weinberger and joining the staff of the American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research, one of Washington's leading study organizations.
Mr. Perle has been in Government for more than 25 years, first rising to prominence in the military and arms control field as an aide to Senator Henry M. Jackson, a Washington Democrat, who was a leading expert himself on arms control and security matters in Congress. Mr. Perle's enlistment six years ago in a Republican Administration involved no major ideological change - he says he remains a Democrat - for he was then, as now, an acerbic opponent of major strategic arms treaties and leading sceptic of the Soviet Union.
In Mr. Perle's tenure, the Reagan Administration has dropped adherence to the 1979 strategic arms treaty, which he had vociferously opposed all the way back to his days with Senator Jackson.
Now the Administration is considering whether to stop adhering to a traditional interpretation of the 1972 ABM treaty, which Senator Sam Nunn, the Democrat who is chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, has called the ''law of the land.'' Mr. Perle's office is the driving force behind this move.
Arms control experts cite several main reasons for Mr. Perle's success.
First, they say, he has had a less demanding task than his opponents at the State Department. It is easier, they say, to block American concessions than to negotiate difficult compromises.
Second, the experts say, Mr. Perle has a well-deserved reputation as a tough, take-no-prisoners infighter.
''He's a hard-ball player,'' Mr. Aspin said. ''He's successful because he picks one or two issues and ignores the rest, works all the angles, is totally single-minded and knows the Hill and the bureaucracy.''
A third factor behind Mr. Perle's success, experts say, has been his relationship with Mr. Weinberger, who has given him unusually free reign to operate and speak out.
In Mr. Perle's view, the United States and other democracies are lulled into a false sense of security by arms agreements and consequently fail to spend enough on their military forces. Some of his critics say this view reflects a basic distrust of the American democratic process.
Mr. Perle has repeatedly accused American negotiators of exceeding their instructions and has sought to limit their freedom of action.
In an interview, he characterized some former American officials who have dealt with the Russians as ''academics'' who could not ''negotiate a sabbatical.''
That personal, disparaging tone was not absent from Mr. Perle's letter of resignation to President Reagan, which was made public today.
''While much difficult negotiation lies ahead,'' he said, ''I believe that you will succeed where your detractors have failed and that you will finally prove that those who appear most passionate for arms control are often the least competent to go out and negotiate for it.''

Posted on 12/09/2010 1:12:58 PM PST by Making_Sense [Rob W. Case]
Whether or not you are among many people, in a public setting, or if you deal directly with the public, dealing with people can be a real challenge. Of course, people have many different personalities, quirks, and ways of doing things. And yet all too often, one persons ways will always conflict with another persons ways, and that dynamic alone, depending on the personalities of the people involved, can cause problems. We who are Christians know full well what it feels like to deal with the people around us, in deeper ways than what we openly express. Sometimes we have difficulties with certain people within the body of Christ (in the sense of theological clashes, or areas in which individuals seem to want to hold on to certain dogmas and human-invented superstitions without allowing themselves to consider anything that might at least challenge a full argument), but mostly, I think, our difficulties with certain people out of the body of Christ can cause us to lose focus on how God would want us to handle our difficulties, and in that, leave us to our carnal, fleshly, and fallible instincts to handle the matter. And when that happens, without being properly tempered, anything can happen.
When times are difficult, people lose what they once had.

It wouldn't be so hard if Comrade Thorazine would stay on his meds. /inside humor
None of those suggestions work for me.
No, really — LOT'S of people have tried them on numerous occasions and I am still as difficult and unreasoinable as I have always been.
Aside from family, when I encounter such people I walk away. If you give in, they are even more obnoxious, and arguing just makes you look as ridiculous as they. life's too short.
I employ the same strategy, even with family.
Life's too short to spend it dealing with A-Holes.
Sometimes, you just have to 'turn the other cheek', but which I mean, turn around and show them your other cheeks while you walk away.
Usually easier said than done.
Is just shooting these people so wrong?
What I find the hardest is, when I succeed in not retaliating and behaving, it causes me to look at my more mature sisters more closely. I know they bite their tongue but it then makes me wonder how much they're holding back when relating with me. It's almost like knowing they're not feeling as loving as they present because I'm not feeling as loving as I present when I'm holding in my negative reactions.
Then I start to wonder if I can trust who they present.
I think the answer is, if you are angry at someone, you need to step back and spend some time with the Lord and truly feel the love for the person you're having difficulty with. Because holding in anger and acting in a way you don't really feel isn't right either.
Is anyone following? Anyone else deal with that?
Jen, you just entered some interesting terriroty there. Sometimes I would rather not know how certain people feel about me. If I feel that I can't trust them, then I will hold that in the back of my mind before I approach them. That's where acting comes in. But that's over time. When this article was written, it was written at a time when I was having some serious anger issues (in that it kept getting to me), and my church wanted me to write a sermon for the Pastor who was on vacation. I thought that that was an excellent time for me to utilize both situations, and then teach from there.
I still have anger issues many times, but I've been praying more too. Like for example, just the other day, one of the people I have issues with was nice to me. And I prayed just before work for the Lord to give me the strength needed to handle that person. I know what this person does, how malicious in nature this person is, and I was bubbling up, just by knowing that I was about to work with this person. Just the thought alone got me angry without needing an incident to help trigger it. But I gave it to the Lord, and he went outside of my emotions, outside my "control" and handled it for me. And had I not prayed before going in, who knows what might have happened.
It's very difficult to feel love for somebody who may be malicious, or discontent, yet in our walk with Christ, if we get closer and closer to him, and have his character traits rub off on us, then we will be more proned to know what he sees, and to not let such pettiness get in the way of our putting on love. Yet it is difficult, and I admit, I do stumble sometimes.
What a wonderful and transparent reply. Thanks for being real Rob :) It's what I'm striving for.
I've been thinking about this a lot lately. It is ASTOUNDING how much we can misunderstand each other, and mistrust.
I have a favorite aunt that always says nice things about everyone. Who can find fault with that right? I mean, she's like who I want to be when I grow up.
But she said something about a relative lately that completely destroyed my perception of her. And I realized that her words and her real feelings are very very different.
And if her true thoughts don't line up with the love she displays to that relative, I don't feel I can trust the love she expresses toward me.
And yet, is it wrong that she's loving to that relative that she has such difficulty with? No.
So I'm a little lost.
Maybe it is wrong to express love to someone you don't really feel that way toward, and the challenge is to find genuine love for everyone.
-OR- is this what is known and learning to walk in it, act like it, eventually the love will come???
This is old man/new mind of Christ issues. Lol somebody wise please help me with application, because I'm going in circles.
I benefitted from a suggestion made by a counselor (also a pastor) in dealing with her...I just had to consider that in many ways she was retarded.
It made it much easier.
Rob is that you?
(P.S. that was to Rob my ex not Rob Case...man I'm a goof today)
But sometimes another perfect answer comes to mind that shuts the person up without anger toward them...otherwise I just turn away from them with a shrug of the shoulders...not worth arguments, as many say, life is too short and mine is getting shorter with each passing day..
Be not quick to take offense was from the OT, proverbs I think...
Yep, thanks granny. I think that's one of my biggest problems.I take people at face value too much. I think Jesus must have been able to look at a person and see all kinds of influences in their lives along with their predisposition to see how tangled up they were in all kinds of things, and then He had compassion.
I, on the other hand, see the same person and take their vile talk at face value and can pretty much flame it as though the person speaking it was related to it.
And they're not. And I need to remember that.
We're all on this planet struggling so hard to get disentangled in so many snares, and we all need help. Praise God He is there. Now if only I would learn and try to walk in that.
It's a good thing God is SO much more patient than I am!
I'm sure you are nothing like she who rides a broom...she was one in a million (we can all hope.)

Peasant Bloc Agricultural Ukraine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from People's Party New Ukraine)
Peasant Bloc Agricultural Ukraine (Ukrainian: Селянський Блок Аграрна Україна) is a political party in Ukraine.
On July 20, 2005 it was created under the name People's Party New Ukraine. It did not run in the Ukrainian parliamentary election, 2006. In the 30 September 2007 elections, the party as such failed as part of the Peasants' Bloc "Agrarian Ukraine" to win parliamentary representation. In 2008 the party changed its name to Peasant Bloc Agricultural Ukraine.[2] The party did not participate in the 2012 parliamentary elections.[3] And again did not participate in the 2014 Ukrainian parliamentary election.[4]

Magnesium, vitamin D status and mortality: results from US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2001 to 2006 and NHANES III
Magnesium plays an essential role in the synthesis and metabolism of vitamin D and magnesium supplementation substantially reversed the resistance to vitamin D treatment in patients with magnesium-dependent vitamin-D-resistant rickets. We hypothesized that dietary magnesium alone, particularly its interaction with vitamin D intake, contributes to serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels, and the associations between serum 25(OH)D and risk of mortality may be modified by magnesium intake level.
We tested these novel hypotheses utilizing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2001 to 2006, a population-based cross-sectional study, and the NHANES III cohort, a population-based cohort study. Serum 25(OH)D was used to define vitamin D status. Mortality outcomes in the NHANES III cohort were determined by using probabilistic linkage with the National Death Index (NDI).
High intake of total, dietary or supplemental magnesium was independently associated with significantly reduced risks of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency respectively. Intake of magnesium significantly interacted with intake of vitamin D in relation to risk of both vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency. Additionally, the inverse association between total magnesium intake and vitamin D insufficiency primarily appeared among populations at high risk of vitamin D insufficiency. Furthermore, the associations of serum 25(OH)D with mortality, particularly due to cardiovascular disease (CVD) and colorectal cancer, were modified by magnesium intake, and the inverse associations were primarily present among those with magnesium intake above the median.
Our preliminary findings indicate it is possible that magnesium intake alone or its interaction with vitamin D intake may contribute to vitamin D status. The associations between serum 25(OH)D and risk of mortality may be modified by the intake level of magnesium. Future studies, including cohort studies and clinical trials, are necessary to confirm the findings.
Vitamin D deficiency causes rickets among children and osteomalacia in adults
Magnesium, the second most abundant intracellular cation, plays a critical role in the synthesis and metabolism of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and vitamin D

We hypothesize that magnesium intake alone and particularly its interaction with vitamin D intake contribute to serum 25(OH)D status and tested this novel hypothesis utilizing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2001 to 2006. Furthermore, previous studies reported that serum 25(OHD) concentrations were associated with reduced risks of total mortality, particularly mortality due to colorectal cancer
The 2001 to 2006 NHANES and the NHANES III were reviewed and approved by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) Institutional Review Board (IRB) (Hyattsville, MD, USA). A detailed description of the study design has been published elsewhere
Blood sample collection and measures of serum 25(OH)D
Over 88% of the 2001 to 2006 NHANES participants and about 90% of the NHANES III participants donated a spot blood sample. Measurements of serum 25(OH)D were performed at the NCH, CDC, Atlanta, GA using a radioimmunoassay (RIA) kit (Diasorin Inc., Stillwater MN, USA)
We have utilized the cut-off points as defined in the recently issued Institute of Medicine (IOM) report to define vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency
In the NHANES III cohort, mortality outcomes were determined by using probabilistic linkage with the National Death Index (NDI). For mortality due to CVD or colorectal cancer, participants who died of other diseases or were not known deceased, were censored at the date of death or December 31, 2006, whichever was earlier.
Nutrient intake assessments
Daily dietary intake data were obtained from 24-h dietary recalls and 30-day supplement interviews, which are described in detail elsewhere
Statistical analysis
We performed statistical analyses using PROC Survey in SAS 9.2 software (SAS Institute, Cary, NC, USA) to estimate variance after incorporating the weights for the sample population in NHANES.
Covariates were compared among three groups with differing vitamin D status (Table
Hazard ratios (HR) were estimated in Cox proportional hazard regression models to examine whether the associations between serum 25(OH)D and risk of mortality differed by intake level of total magnesium, using the data from the NHANES III cohort. The same cut-off points for serum 25(OH)D were used as those in the published report
In Table
Selected demographic characteristics and potential confounding factors by the three categories of serum 25(OH)D status are shown in Table
After adjusting for confounding factors, the ORs (95% CI) for vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency were 0.10 (0.06 to 0.17) and 0.37 (0.27 to 0.51) comparing the highest quartile intake of total vitamin D versus the lowest (
In stratified analyses by intake of vitamin D and other factors related to vitamin D status (Table
As reported previously, high levels of serum 25(OH)D were associated with a reduced risk of mortality due to all-cause CVD
Consistent with our hypothesis, we observed that high intake of total, dietary or supplemental magnesium was independently and significantly associated with reduced risks of both vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency. Furthermore, intake of magnesium significantly interacted with intakes of vitamin D in relation to both vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency. In the NHANES III cohort, a population-based prospective study, we found the inverse associations of serum 25(OH)D with mortality, particularly mortality due to CVD and colorectal cancer, were modified by magnesium intake, and the inverse associations were primarily present among those with magnesium intake above the median. In addition, we found the inverse association between magnesium intake and risk of vitamin D deficiency primarily occurred in those who had the highest or the lowest tertile of PTH level; while the inverse association between total magnesium intake and vitamin D insufficiency primarily appeared among populations at high risk of vitamin D insufficiency. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to examine the interaction between vitamin D and magnesium in association to mortality; and this is the first study to suggest a potential independent contribution of total magnesium intake and its interaction with vitamin D intake to vitamin D status in the general population.
Under normal physiologic conditions, 25(OH)D is derived primarily from endogenous synthesis via exposure of skin to sunlight because few natural foods contain vitamin D except by fortification or supplementation (see Figure
A previous clinical study found that parenteral magnesium treatment without vitamin D replacement in 23 magnesium-deficient patients led to a 12% rise in 25(OH)D and 30% increase in 1,25(OH)2D, but both changes were not statistically significant
We found that high magnesium intake was also associated with a reduced risk of vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency. We believe that this observation is the result of the interaction between various metabolic pathways that regulate 25(OH)D levels. Previous studies have shown that endogenously synthesized vitamin D3 is transferred almost completely by VDBP to liver and this transport is slow, leading to a more sustained plasma vitamin D3, compared to that from supplementation of vitamin D, which is delivered to the liver by non-VDBP carriers in the plasma
The critical roles of magnesium in the synthesis of VDBP, PTH, 25(OH)D and 1,25(OH)2D may partially explain why the inverse associations between serum 25(OH)D and risk of total mortality and mortality due to colorectal cancer and CVD primarily existed among those with magnesium intake above the median. High magnesium may increase the availability of 1,25 (OH)2D through activating the synthesis of 25(OH)D and 1,25 (OH)2D and increasing the transfer to target tissues by elevating vitamin D binding protein (VDBP) (Figure
Previous studies found PTH level was elevated when serum 25(OH)D was under 20 ng/ml
A number of previous studies have examined the associations between magnesium intake with risk of stroke
A strength of our study is that it is based on NHANES, a population-based study with nationally representative samples. As with all prevalent case–control studies, one concern is that the temporal sequence may not be clear. However, it is unlikely that serum vitamin D status led to high or low intake of magnesium or vitamin D. Furthermore, the analysis of data from the NHANES III, a population-based prospective cohort, provides additional indications that magnesium interacts with vitamin D in relation to mortality. It is possible that people who consumed a high level of magnesium may also have a healthy lifestyle (for example, more physical activity and higher proportion of dietary supplement users). Supplement users may consume a high level of vitamin D from supplements while outdoor physical activity is related to an increasing production of 25(OH)D from sunlight exposure. We have adjusted for physical activity and intake of vitamin D from both diet and supplement in all analyses. Furthermore, we have conducted stratified analyses by physical activity and use of supplement. We found, unlike intake of magnesium, physical activity and use of supplements did not significantly or marginally significantly modify the association between serum 25(OH)D and mortality. Finally, although multiple 24-h dietary recalls are used as a gold standard measure in nutritional epidemiologic studies, a one-time 24-h dietary recall may not capture long-term dietary exposure. However, similar to dietary vitamin D and supplemental vitamin D intake, we found both dietary intake of magnesium (based on 24-h dietary recall) and magnesium from supplementation intake (derived from 30-day supplement questionnaire) significantly contributed to serum vitamin D status. Moreover, total intake of magnesium significantly interacted with intake of vitamin D in relation to both magnesium deficiency and insufficiency while total intake of magnesium modified the association between serum vitamin D and mortality. Since inter-day variation in magnesium intake is random, any residual inter-day variation may lead to non-differential misclassification, which usually biases the result to the null. Thus, the true associations of magnesium intake with vitamin D status risk may be stronger than those we observed. Our findings are not only biologically plausible, but also remarkably consistent, indicating our findings may not be solely due to chance. In the current study, we did not have data for other parameters of the vitamin D/PTH axis (that is, serum PTH and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D), which may indeed be affected by magnesium status. Future studies are warranted to examine if low magnesium status using dietary and body status of magnesium affected both PTH levels and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D because this could serve as one mechanism for the observed interaction between serum 25(OH)D and magnesium intake on mortality.
Our preliminary findings indicate it is possible that magnesium intake alone or its interaction with vitamin D intake may contribute to vitamin D status. The associations between serum 25(OH)D and risk of mortality may be modified by the intake level of magnesium. Future studies, including cohort studies and clinical trials, are necessary to confirm the findings.

Welcome to the Monday Terps Mailbag, a new weekly installment where you ask questions and I answer them. What, you thought there would be a more catchy introduction? Sorry. Not here. Calling this "The PrewBag" was enough creativity for one day. So simmer down and onto the queries.
(Related note: Submit your questions via email to firstname.lastname@example.com or on Twitter. Thanks, friends.)
Will Alex Len declare for the draft this year? (Felipe Harman, @lfharman)
Obviously there's a ton of NBA-related buzz swirling around Maryland's 7-foot-1 center this year, and rightfully so. Len has developed into a monster on both ends as his immense talent has manifested itself to the tune of 14.7 points, nine rebounds per game and nearly three blocks per game.
As Wizards fans can painfully attest, NBA teams value potential, and of that Len has plenty. He's already improved leaps and bounds since his shortened freshman season in College Park, and we're only seven games into 2012-13. Len was widely viewed as a potential lottery pick entering this season and bolstered his stock with that breakout performance against Kentucky in the season opener. NBADraft.net has Len at seventh overall. ESPN.com's Chad Ford told readers in an online chat that Len has an "outside shot" at being the first overall pick.
But your question, Felipe, asked whether Len will declare, and on that it's far too early to tell. Maryland is Len's new home after he immigrated to the United States from Ukraine, and he, by all accounts, loves Coach Mark Turgeon, his teammates and the program. At least on a personal level, leaving such a comfort zone for NBA riches could be jarring, but the allure might be too much to pass up. Again, this is all speculation. Fans seem to be adopting an "enjoy it while we can" mentality with Len, and he still has much to accomplish at Maryland, regardless of how long he stays.
Couldn't the sixth lax team [in the Big Ten] be Hopkins? [Big Ten] could add blue Jays as lacrosse-only member. (Beau Boughamer, @damonbeau)
I suppose this is an option, but the Big Ten has been averse to admitting partial members. Such a move would certainly entice Maryland's lacrosse programs to join the Big Ten. But the Terrapins have plenty of choices at this stage, especially with the move two spring seasons away. They could, like Johns Hopkins, go independent, or could bank on the Big Ten adding a sixth program to attain NCAA automatic qualifier status.
Figuring out the lacrosse situation was a major point of discussion among Big Ten and Maryland officials, one of the first things that Athletic Director Kevin Anderson asked about during their initial meetings. Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany wants Maryland to help lead Big Ten lacrosse into the next stage, becoming a proverbial flagship program, but understands that the Terps will do what's best for them and their program. Whether that involves going independent, sticking in the Big Ten or seeking elsewhere remains to be seen.
Do you think Terps will be ranked in next week's AP rankings with a convincing win over George Mason Sunday? (Jason R, @jrohner5)
[EDTIOR'S NOTE: This question was posed before the latest AP poll came out. The Terps are again unranked, but received votes. Prewitt is a seer.]
Doubt it. By the time you read this, the latest Associated Press top 25 could very well be released and I could be proven a colossal fool, but I think it'll take some time (read: ACC play) for Turgeon's bunch to crack the AP top 25. Northwestern was rather unimpressive and while both that and the George Mason win will help Maryland's RPI come NCAA tournament time, it's probably not enough barring some shocking developments above them in the poll.
The win over George Mason wasn't by any stretch "convincing," but it was a solid, grind-it-out-type of victory against a veteran squad. But with Maryland's relatively weak nonconference schedule heading into the 2013 calendar year, it will likely need more than that to break into the rankings.
UPDATE: Okay, I'm not a fool, at least this time. Maryland received nine votes in the AP poll, fifth among ACC teams.
3 conference wins in 2 years. Squeaking by William and Mary. How is it that Randy Edsall still has a job? (Rparker125, via e-mail)
There's still plenty of confidence in Edsall within the athletics department. The financial hit that Maryland would take by giving Edsall a contract buyout notwithstanding, Anderson had high praise for Edsall and the program's direction and seems committed moving forward.
Fantasizing about an injury-free 2012 season is a fruitless exercise, but Edsall still managed to get plenty from a team missing four quarterbacks. That they scored 38 points against North Carolina with a scout-team linebacker under center is nearly miraculous. The 7-6 victory over William & Mary was ugly, and November's blowout losses were expected. But this team wasn't that far off from bowl eligibility. Connecticut, North Carolina State and Boston College were all extremely winnable games that got away late.
Say what you will about Edsall and his coaching style, but the players are buying into his program and culture, and that's a huge step up from his inaugural season. Of course, more losing years could derail the progress, but those with hiring and firing powers are backing Edsall, his staff, their DMV-centric recruiting mission and the players within.
How do you think UMD's move to the Big Ten will affect recruiting for both football and basketball? IMHO, I think it will help football and hurt basketball recruiting. If I'm a football recruit in the DMV and I have a choice between UMD, UVa, WVU, or VTech, I'm choosing the school that plays in the Big House and the Horseshoe in a top tier league. Conversely, if I'm a basketball recruit, it's pretty clear that the ACC is going to be a basketball-focused league when conference realignment is complete (i.e. FSU, Clemson gone). Thanks. (Bodhi, via email)
No, thank you, Bodhi. And your hunches seem to be a pervasive sentiment among Terps fans. Edsall seems pretty happy about the Big Ten move, even though it means venturing into uncharted recruiting waters. But he knows there's an undeniable allure of the Big Ten and its national television network, even though traditional ACC rivalry games will be stricken from the docket and actually getting to road games will be harder for families.
Regionalism and conferences matter less for basketball. Sure, there's an appeal of playing at Cameron Indoor and the Dean Dome, and adding Syracuse to the ACC only bolstered the conference's basketball resume, but it matters little if recruits choose Maryland solely to play for Turgeon, have a shot at national success with an eye toward a professional future. If the Terps are succeeding, he can recruit regardless of conference, because players will flock to College Park to win at Maryland, not play once a year at Duke or Indiana.
Does Len have a nickname? Can it be The Plumber? (J, @J_D_P)
Yes. Yes it can. On that note, open call for all Alex Len-related monikers. Forth, nicknames! Don't fail me (or @J_D_P) now, readers.
Alex, what do you think the QB depth chart is going into the spring and the fall (considering injury recovery times, experience, etc.) since Brown, Hills, and Rowe all have shown that they can handle the position. (Sancho, via Washingtonpost.com)
Well, the spring and fall depth charts will likely be vastly different from each other. This spring will likely feature New Mexico transfer Ricardo Young, C.J. Brown (if his rehabilitation has progressed enough to warrant full-speed workouts) and possibly Shawn Petty, just to have a third arm in there. Perry Hills, Caleb Rowe and Devin Burns won't be recovered from their surgeries by the time spring practices roll around, and as offensive coordinator Mike Locksley has said, anyone with quarterbacking experience will likely be in the mix come March.
As you noted, Sancho, the Terps will return four college-experienced quarterbacks next fall, though Rowe played just one game and some change. It'll be an interesting position for the Terps, having so much depth, yet none who has distinguished himself immensely. Brown figures to be the penciled-in starter given his experience, while Young, Hills, Rowe and Burns could all challenge for the backup role.
The more likely scenario is that Hills or Rowe (quite possibly both) wind up taking a redshirt year next season so long as Brown stays healthy. And don't forget about Gilman quarterback Shane Cockerille, a read-option-style Elite 11 recruit. Suddenly a team that was decimated to the fifth string will have six quarterbacks next season, if you throw Burns into the mix as well.
Does Turgeon have a plan to cut down on turnovers? (Jeff, @jnh24)
He, like most of us, is searching for the genesis of this turnover problem, which hasn't proved detrimental yet but might become a thorn during ACC play. At least from press row, it seems to just be a simple lack of focus. A few of Dez Wells's turnovers against George Mason were just a product of Wells trying to execute too quickly, taking his eye off the pass before actually catching it securely.
Asked about the turnover issue, Nick Faust was similarly at a loss, but posited that it's just young players trying to do too much at this early stage. After the George Mason game, Turgeon said that whenever he called a timeout, he asked his players to settle into the secondary break if neither a layup nor a three-pointer were available off the initial fast break, commenting that they only did that once and need to be "more coachable." Indeed, many of their turnovers came off forcing feeds that weren't there rather than back out and run secondary sets. Fixing that and settling down could help immensely.
Everybody says being so close to landing the Twins was good for Maryland. I don't get how being second helps, can you explain that? (Harry, @HarryHareBear)
Gladly. Simply being in the running and getting national exposure like that helps build a brand, especially for a relatively new coach like Turgeon. That the Harrison Twins were deciding between Maryland and Kentucky, the go-to factory for NBA-minded hoops recruits under John Calipari, alone says plenty about the recruiting capabilities of Turgeon and his staff.
It was a much-hyped decision broadcast on ESPNU, and every article written about Andrew and Aaron Harrison's decision came with comparisons of Turgeon and Calipari's programs, and there was plenty written about the Harrisons' connection to and trust in both Turgeon and assistant Bino Ranson. Had Maryland been axed from the list early, it wouldn't have mattered. But the Terps stood toe-to-toe with a recruiting giant and went down swinging.
Sure, recruits often choose schools based on comfort level felt from within the program, but brand recognition helps on the ground level. It'd be very difficult to quantify this, but perhaps more recruits begin looking at Maryland, seeing its the type of school that almost landed two of the nation's top five players from the Class of 2013.
Do you think the players are getting used to how blunt Coach Turgeon is in the media? (Jim Finlayson, @FinlaysonJim)
So here's the thing about Turgeon: He's as blunt in public sessions with reporters as he is during private, one-on-one sessions. If he tells reporters that, for instance, Wells is turning the ball over too much, it's because he's already sat down with Wells and said those exact same words.
Wells has spoken at length about his appreciation for his coach's honesty, especially during practices when Turgeon rarely dishes out fawning praise or crushing negativity. For all his sideline intensity, Turgeon keeps things pretty even-keel, always tempering his happiness by pointing out areas of improvement. The players knew what they were getting, and they love that about him because it keeps them motivated and driven.

Mutated Worm Fights Alcohol Intoxication
New research has discovered a certain mutated species of worm that could prove instrumental in the fight against alcoholism. Scientists at the University of Texas in Austin have discovered that by inserting a "modified human alcohol target" into the worm they are able to make it immune to the intoxicating effects of alcohol. The alcohol target is a neuronal molecule that binds alcohol and creates a worm that is immune to drunkenness. The ability of these mutated worms to avoid becoming intoxicated even after consuming alcohol could lead to researchers developing a new drug that would potentially be effective in treating alcoholics. If subjects no longer experienced the effects of alcohol it would discourage and prevent them from drinking in excess, providing a cure for some symptoms of their addiction.
Creating the Mutation
The mutation of the worm to create immunity to alcohol involved both inserting the alcohol target and modifying a potassium channel found in cell membranes to make it insensitive to alcohol while still being functional in the regulation of neurons and blood vessels. The success of this experiment is the first example of altering a human alcohol target to prevent intoxication in an animal. An important milestone in the project was finding a way to make the potassium channel immune to alcohol while still being able to function normally and scientists were lucky that they were able to discover how to make that a reality. The results of the experiment provide exciting evidence that future pharmaceuticals could use the alcohol target to prevent problems with alcohol abuse. It is unclear now as to how people with alcohol disorders would specifically benefit but the possibilities are open for improving treatment for alcoholism through this important research. Newly developed drugs could potentially be used to combat the symptoms of alcohol withdrawal and help treat patients while in rehab.
Preventing Intoxication
The potassium channel that was modified in the experiment is known as the BK channel which regulates and can slow down neural activity. When alcohol is consumed, the BK channel releases more potassium than normal and dramatically reduces neural activity leading to the type of sluggish thinking and movement associated with being intoxicated. Researchers involved in the experiment were able to prevent the channel from reacting to alcohol or slowing down neural activity as it normally would. The effect of the mutation on the channel is to essentially prevent the sluggish behavior and allow neural activity to continue unhindered even after consuming alcohol. The worm used in the study is known as Caenorhabditis elegans and is considered a species that models intoxication well. Typically when they are given alcohol, these worms tend to crawl more slowly and show less movement from side to side. The worms are not as effective at studying other aspects of alcohol addiction such as cravings which are more easily studied through mice.
The results of this recent experiment prove that it could be possible to prevent a person from feeling drunk no matter how much alcohol they consume. Developing a drug that prevents a patient from feeling the effects of intoxication could be an important step forward in addiction treatment. Drugs used to treat heroin addiction often slow down or delay the effects of opiates so that users are less likely to have cravings for the drug. This research could lead to the creation of a similar medication for alcoholism that would counter the addictive effects of alcohol. Without the effects of intoxication, alcoholics will have much less of a desire to drink and will have an easier time remaining sober while in recovery.

by Ajaan Lee Dhammadharo
This is a 'how to' book. It teaches the liberation of the mind, not as a mind-boggling theory, but as a very basic skill that starts with keeping the breath in mind. The teachings here are drawn from the works of Ajaan Lee Dhammadharo (1906-61), one of Thailand's most renowned teachers of Buddhist meditation practices. Ajaan Lee was a forest monk - one who prefers to live in the seclusion of the forest and makes his meditation the central theme of his practice - so his teachings grow out of personal, practical experience, although he also makes a point of relating them to standard Buddhist doctrine.
