Ear infection?
Today Karma has been really crabby and pulling on her ear. I'm worried that she might have an ear infection but I don't want to take her to the hospital over nothing. I'm not really sure of all the different symptoms for an ear infection so I can't tell if I'm just over reacting.
Comment deleted
She is uncomfortable. The only way I've been getting her to sleep is by letting her fall asleep on me. But I haven't noticed a fever. She doesn't feel warm right now.
She seems A LOT better today. She isn't fussy and she hasn't touched her ear. I think I'm still going to call the doctor and ask if its ok that I give her some tylonol tonight if she needs it. If we have another bad night I'm just going to take her in tomorrow and find out if its an ear infection or not. Then we can get her some antibiotics if it is.

Tony Stewart will be running a very special paint scheme on the #20 Old Spice Nationwide car at Michigan International Speedway (MIS) on Saturday August 16th for the CARFAX 250. The Give Kids The World paint scheme was features a rainbow of colors and a bunny on the hood:
The design for the paint scheme was created by Emily Marsala, a 14 year old Give The Kids The World wish kid from 2004 who successfully battled cancer. Her winning entry was one of more than 150 entries that come from either current or former GKTW wish kids.
Of the paint scheme, Stewart is quoted as saying "It'll be an honor to drive the car Emily designed in the Nationwide Series race at Michigan" and that the car "will give me some good camouflage during the race, because with a purple, blue, yellow and red race car that has a bunny rabbit on the hood, no one will know that it's me getting ready to pass them." (source: TonyStewart.com)
Old Spice, The Tony Stewart Foundation and Joe Gibbs Racing will also make a collective donation to the Give Kids The World Villiage, a 70 acre, non profit resort in Central Florida that allows families and critically ill children to magical memories at their whimsical resort completely cost free.
In celebration of the partnership, GKTW is hosting a view-a-thon, asking fans who watch the race and wish to support their cause to donate through firstgiving.com to help them reach their goal of $25,000. For more information on the view-a-thon visit the GKTW NASCAR page.

Getting a removal on one bureau will not get removals on all bureaus. If the account is not showing on your Experian report, then there is nothing to worry about there. As far as Transunion, they will do early exclusions up to 6 months prior of 7 years. I am not sure what boxes you check on the dispute for Transunion, but you should have checked the box "too old to report" and typed in the comment box that you were requesting an early exclusion. (typing in the comment box probably isn't necessary, but would make things clear as to what you are asking for.

Thank you. That is the box I selected on Transunion so I'll just have to wait and see if it does get removed. As far as Experian goes, I'll have to wait for the next time my score is updated through one of those free sites to see if it was in fact removed.

Zoo Miami has come a long way over the years. It's been five years since my last visit and they now have a great water park for the kids which is perfect especially at this time of year in Miami when it's baking hot! There is a lot of walking at this zoo so be prepared or be prepared to shell out $30+ for a bicycle for 4-6 people with a canopy which does help. The zoo is well managed and the current critter cam exhibit is a riot. Lots of great animals, and there is an air conditioned monorail which you can ride all day for $3.00 (used to be free) but it is a long walk between stations. All in all I think it's great value for money and a great family day out.

Bodybuilding Supplements Tips
If you're new to bodybuilding or just want to gain an edge during your workouts, then supplementation is a no-brainer. With so many to choose from, it's easy to become paralyzed by all the types, doses, companies, and, not to mention, promises. What's a newbie to do?
It's time to learn the basics. Here's an uncomplicated beginner's guide to what you need to get started. After a while you may experiment with others or simply stick to the ones listed here. But wherever your training journey takes you, rest assured that these make up the foundation of any healthy supplement plan.
First, some wise words of advice. The term supplement is roughly defined as "in addition to" not "in place of." You should adhere to a balanced, healthy diet with ample supplies of protein, complex carbohydrate and fiber, and healthy fats. Without a solid, real food foundation in place, all the supplementation in the world won't get you to your goals any faster. Eat first, then supplement.
For the past decade or two, whey protein has established itself as the cornerstone to any supplement plan. Chock full of amino acids, it's especially plentiful of branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) leucine, isoleucine and valine. The BCAAs are vital in the protein synthesis process required to build new muscle tissue – especially leucine.
Used as a staple for pre and post workout nutrition, whey protein is a fast acting protein which is absorbed quickly due to its high filtration processing and small molecular make-up. It's readily available to starving muscle cells when taken after a hard training session.
When and How Much?
The prime times to use whey protein powder are post workout and at other times when getting in a whole food meal proves difficult – such as after work and prior to your workout. Another critical time is for those who train first thing in the morning and don't want any amount of solid food in their stomach for a lengthy digestion. Whey, with its fast digestion, fits that criterion quite nicely.
For most gym-goers, a single dose post workout could include anywhere from 20 to 30 grams per serving. If you are a heavier trainer who weighs north of 200 pounds, a slightly higher amount may be needed such as 40 grams.
The research on this wonder supplement continues to grow. No longer a freshman,creatine has affixed itself as the real deal. Supplement manufacturers have been scrambling for years to develop the "next creatine" but are still champing at the bit in the lab. Found as a naturally occurring substance in foods such as fish and steak, creatine works by helping to replenish adenosine triphosphate (ATP) stores during bouts of intense training.
It does this by "superhydrating" muscle cells full of fluid so other processes can take place as well like protein synthesis. This, in turn, will increase the rate of recovery between and during workouts. Initially, the bodyweight gained is mostly water, but over time your body will build new muscle easier and faster.
When and How Much?
There are two schools of thought regarding how much creatine to take. Originally, when it was new to the market, it was thought that you needed to load for five or so days in order for it to completely saturate your muscle tissue. This led to fast water weight gain and a positive sense of accomplishment.
However, some experienced stomach pains and other gastrointestinal (GI) tract issues due to the amount taken daily. As time went on and more research was done, and it is now recommended that starting with a maintenance dose yields the same end results.1 Go with 3 to 5 grams pre and post workout for best results.
Fish oil may not seem like a "sexy" choice for a supplement, but its benefits are long-term and vital to a healthy body. High in the omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), fish oil is not necessarily an acutely effective supplement. Its main benefit has been found in reducing inflammation in the body.
So what, you say? Inflammation has been shown to be the instigator of myriad health problems including heart disease. For training purposes, inflammation can prevent the body from properly utilizing macro and micronutrients and hinder performance and recovery from training.
When and How Much?
With fish oil, taking in more isn't a good thing as too much can lead to a higher risk of stroke. A moderate supplementation plan is the best route since you are using it more as a preventative measure versus an acute performance supplement. 2 to 3 grams per day is the normal recommended amount taken with a meal. Other forms of healthy oil, like krill oil, are available as well if you find fish oil gives you an unwanted aftertaste.
Another "boring" but necessary supplement is the tried and true multivitamin/mineral. Although recent research has blasted its efficacy, the benefits of getting certain amounts of these vital micronutrients prove essential for optimal health.2 These nutrients are necessary for countless bodily processes and overall balance. For example, zinc is used in tissue (muscle) repair and magnesium helps the body get appropriate rest.
Why wouldn't you want a little insurance since no one's diet is perfect day-in and day-out?
When and How Much?
A simple name brand multivitamin/mineral supplement will do just fine. One with 100% of most vitamins and minerals listed is your best bet. Mega-doses don't do much in the way of getting any healthier.
Most Popular Supplement
The effects of creatine are nothing new. As one of the most researched supplements on the market, it should be a part of any serious lifters supplement stack.
Not only has it been unofficially proven to work by bros at your local gym, it is also a clinical superstar producing real, substantial results when it comes to muscle mass and strength gains.
Let's look at not only the tried and true benefits of creatine, but also what new information has been found about this super strength building supplement.
What else does it have to offer your blood, sweat and tears in the gym and how can you benefit?
Creatine is a supplement used by many athletes and bodybuilders to help increase performance of high intensity training. Made of 3 amino acids (methionine, arginine, and glycine), creatine helps replenish our ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) stores once they have been depleted. This, in turn, allows us to train harder and longer and recover quicker between bouts of exercise.
It increases strength levels, muscle mass and even aids in recovery between sets of exercises. As a natural substance found in our muscle cells it is also made by the liver and we also ingest it from our diet.
Some dietary sources include fish and red meat; however, supplementing is the easiest and most convenient way to achieve optimal levels since food contains very little. For example, a half-pound of meat can contain only 1 gram of creatine only. So, supplementing is needed to reap the full benefit.
There are two schools of thought when it comes to dosing. The traditionalists out there stress that a loading phase needs to precede a maintenance phase. This loading phase can contain up to 20 grams of creatine powder per day divided into four 5 gram doses. One advantage of this method is a sudden onset of muscle fullness and a rather quick weight gain.
The other school of thought is to simply start with a maintenance dose of 3 to 5 grams, twice daily – once prior to training and once again post training. Which is superior? Many studies have pointed that the loading phase is unnecessary in longitudinal trials. In other words, the same end results were recorded with both protocols.
Another factor to consider is the type of creatine to take. With so many forms flooding the market (citrate, ethyl ester, nitrate, malate and pyruvate just to name a few) which is the most effective?
The bottom line is that research, again, dictates that good ole-fashioned creatine monohydrate is still the most effective form. Not only is that good news to cut down on confusion, it's also great news for your wallet since you can still get creatine monohydrate at a great price at most supplement outlets.
As science tries to make an even better version of creatine, just stick with the simple stuff for the best performance results.
Branched Chain Amino Acids
Branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) are essential amino acids (meaning our body does not create them) that contain an aliphatic (branched) side-chain.
There are three BCAAs: leucine, isoleucine, and valine. These amino acids are key players in the regulation of muscle mass and must be consumed through your diet.
One interesting aspect of BCAAs is their metabolism in the human body. The breakdown of BCAAs is regulated through an enzyme complex known as the branched chain amino acid dehydrogenase complex, which we are going to shorten to something more manageable and call it BDC.
To take biochemistry from test tube to muscles, this means that when we have higher levels of BDC around, more BCAAs are broken down.
Levels of BDC in the human body are increased when we exercise, indicating that exercise promotes breakdown of BCAAs.
Another important aspect of this complex (which we will discuss later in this article) is that when the metabolites of BCAAs are present (i.e. the products of the breakdown), they inhibit the BDC complex. Which means if you have a lot of BCAA breakdown products around you preserve the currently available amino acids.
Before we dive into the individual BCAAs and their functions, we need to cover one aspect of the collective group of BCAAs, their proposed ability to reduce fatigue.
There is a hypothesis about fatigue during training, it is called the central hypothesis of fatigue.
The Central Hypothesis of Fatigue states that elevated levels of serotonin in the brain caused by increased levels of tryptophan (tryptophan is converted to serotonin) during exercise induces fatigue.
BCAAs are thought to prevent this because they compete for the same transporter into the brain. So the hypothesis is that if you increase your BCAAs in the blood by supplementation, you prevent tryptophan uptake and thus reduce fatigue.
Now this sounds great as a biochemical and physiological theory. . . but unfortunately the research hasn't created any promising results and any anti-fatigue effects of BCAAs by reducing "Central Fatigue" appear to be minimal if any.
Valine is the least researched or well understood of the 3 BCAAs, and as such the currently known biological effects of it are minimal.
Valine is a glucogenic amino acid, meaning it can create and/or be converted into glucose1,2. The methyl carbons of valine can be utilized to produce glucose and ultimately glycogen.
This process of valine oxidation for glucose is increased in skeletal muscle following injury, which suggests that consuming extra valine in times of muscle injury (i.e. heavy training) might be beneficial for muscle recovery. Unfortunately for valine, it is far less effective at this than Leucine (a theme that repeats itself).
The main reason people use BCAAs is to optimize muscle building, and in the land of BCAAs, leucine is the king of promoting muscle protein synthesis.
When we think of the science behind muscle protein synthesis we think of two proteins, mTOR and S6K.
Interestingly, leucine is able to activate the mTOR pathway independently of other growth signals, like insulin.
Leucine is a major contributor to the anabolic capabilities of protein supplementation by activating mTOR. For example, 5g of leucine elicits a greater muscle protein synthesis signal than 5g of a mixture of BCAAs.
There is even evidence that leucine provides the most potent growth signal when you compare leucine to other amino acids and even insulin!
Do you get it yet? Leucine is probably pretty important for muscle protein synthesis.
Just in case you don't really care about growing muscle (which if you don't, I am sorry for your loss), leucine might also help with recovery.
One of the critical components of recovery is how quickly you can replenish your glycogen stores. For hard-charging athletes the mantra is "the faster the better". The quicker one can reload their glycogen stores, the faster they are able to recover. Leucine can actually speed up the recovery process by increasing glucose uptake. It does this with a nifty little trick.
Leucine signals for insulin to be release from the pancreas without the presence of carbohydrate. Working in conjunction with insulin, leucine can actually have a positive two-fold effect on glucose uptake into muscle cells.
Combining leucine supplementation with post-workout carbohydrate has been shown to be incredibly effective in restoring muscle glycogen, more so than amino acid or carbohydrate supplementation alone. Interestingly enough, insulin also works synergistically to control muscle protein synthesis in response to diet and training. When it comes down to recovery and muscle growth, leucine is critical for optimizing both!
Benefits of Protein That You Take
Consuming enough protein for muscle growth remains the number one priority for all bodybuilders from the beginner to an Olympia contender.
Every pro knows that protein is an essential bodybuilding nutrient. It's basically the first real lesson every dedicated lifter learns on their quest for head-turning size and shape.
So why is it that so many dedicated trainees fail to consistently get enough of this second-to-none mass builder? There are several reasons:
- The kind of basic nutrition that gets results is usually the first casualty once the novelty of a new training program has worn off.
- Life gets in the way and you begin to wonder if getting your one gram of protein per pound of bodyweight is really all that important when faced with the task of weeklymeal prep. Lifters lose sight of the bodybuilding fundamentals that got them where they are in the first place.
- Consuming enough protein can be tiring and all-consuming; pounding down six full-fledged protein-rich meals per day takes time, effort, and dedication.
It's easy for many iron devotees to miss one or more of these meals – one of the biggest mistakes a gains-focused lifter can make.
Fortunately an increasing emphasis on protein supplementation has made life a lot easier for today's muscle-hungry bodybuilders. With an array of protein products to offer, reputable companies are keeping bodybuilders well-nourished, anabolic, and less likely to deviate from their recommended protein intake.
Whether whole foods dominant, supplement-heavy, or a combination of both, a protein rich diet is a non-negotiable bodybuilding requirement.
If a bodybuilder begins slipping on their protein intake for any of the above reasons, you can be sure that limited gains will shortly follow. Here are three major reasons why serious iron athletes must get their daily protein quota.
Protein is simply a long chain of amino acids all connected together. Once digested, these muscle-enriching amino acids flood the body. The body then reassembles these amino acids into the specific proteins that build muscle.
Given the body can only process a certain amount of dietary protein at a time (30-50 grams every 2.5 to 3 hours depending on an individual's size and activity level) the protein needed for muscle repair must be of the highest quality. Vegetable and soy proteins, for example, cannot replace those of a higher biological value such as eggs, chicken, fish and whey protein isolate.
The muscles are in a constant state of reinvention; either shrinking or growing depending on the degree of stimulation during resistance training. Enough aminos from digested protein will result in protein synthesis and muscle growth. Protein synthesis is enhanced whenever a protein-rich meal is consumed. But, not just any old protein source will do.
Of the 20 aminos needed for protein synthesis (9 essential, which must be ingested, and 11 non-essential, which can be synthesized in the body), the branched-chain amino acid leucine is most anabolic of all 5.
To fully enhance muscle anabolism, a recommended 2-3 grams of leucine per meal must be included. While a 300 gram serving of chicken provides 2 grams of leucine, a scoop of whey protein provides the full 3 grams 5. Even though both protein sources are of a high biological nature, it is clear that not all quality proteins are created equal.
The muscle amino leucine is so important that many bodybuilders supplement with\ leucine to stay anabolic for even longer.
What most bodybuilders don't know is protein can be broken down by the body and used for energy just like carbohydrates and fats. However, carbs and fats cannot be converted to protein. As a result, no matter how well-nourished a bodybuilder may think he is, sufficient quality protein for muscle-building must be distributed across multiple daily meals 4.
No excuses.
Protein is essential for much more besides building muscle. Up to 20 percent of the human body is comprised of protein. Protein is instrumental in ensuring biological processes and all bodily tissues are optimally maintained and strengthened.
Protein is needed for bone development, the formation of the 75,000 unique enzymes needed for various functions including the body's metabolism, and the digestion of food. Without enough protein, not only is muscle tissue likely to rapidly regress, but general health will also be compromised.
Bodybuilders trying to get on the gain train to build big biceps become excessively gym-focused to the detriment of their overall health and wellbeing. Arguably, the most important message that can be put across to all serious bodybuilders is that the muscles will not grow to their full potential while health is compromised in other areas.
For example, without an optimal ratio of digestive enzymes, protein-rich foods cannot be properly digested. Without the neurotransmitters needed to commence muscle movement, adequate stimulation cannot be placed on these muscles. And neurotransmitters are comprised of, you guessed it, proteins.
In short, proteins play an essential role in the creation of every new cell of the body. Knowing this provides yet another reason to pump up the protein.
We are all creatures of habit and one habit many of us have acquired is a taste for fatty and sugary foods. Biologically-driven, a taste for high-calorie foods is hardwired into human DNA. This reason alone makes it difficult to stick to a diet.
Many studies have concluded that protein is the most satiating of the macronutrients 1, 2, 6.In fact, for non-bodybuilding folk, doubling protein intake while keeping carbohydrates and fats consistent has been shown to automatically reduce cravings for and the spontaneous intake of off-limits foods 2. This is likely due to an increase in the appetite-regulating protein peptide YY (PYY).
All About Supplements That You Should Know
Everyone knows that macros are key to high-level training and getting jacked. However, micronutrients shouldn't be overlooked because without micronutrients your training wouldn't even get off the ground.
We often think about micronutrients in disease states, and while that is true, they are also important for making your cells actually function. Think about it this way, macros are the fuel, and micronutrients allow that fuel to actually be used.
Pretend macros are the gasoline in your car and the micronutrients are the spark plug. You need to combust the gas to get energy in your car. You need to combust the fuel in your cells to get energy. While that analogy isn't perfect it is a good way to think about them.
Now micronutrients do a lot more than just make carbs go bang in your cells, they regulate a ton of the processes involved in muscle growth, inflammation, insulin signaling, and a host of other important processes.
When we compare the increased micronutrient needs of athletes with the ever declining micronutrient content of our modern foods, two key micronutrients stand out: zinc and magnesium.
Apparently, some supplement wizard figured this out quite a while ago. A zinc-magnesium combo supplement is readily available and one of the more commonly taken supplements amongst athletes. Formally, it is known as zinc-magnesium-aspartate, but we will call it by its shelf name ZMA.
ZMA is one of the few supplements I actually keep on hand at all times (I can tell you the rest of my secret stash if you are interested). Let's dive into why ZMA is a supplement you ought to consider.
Zinc is considered a mineral and one that is easily excreted in our sweat. Because of this, athletes may be more prone to zinc deficiency than their non-exercising peers1. Zinc, while a seemingly boring supplement to take may, actually be important for you to start taking especially if you train hard.
One of the worst aspects of cut cycles is your testosterone drops and your libido crashes. Seriously, ask your friend/gym partner how his sex drive was the few weeks leading up to his last show. There are several studies showing that supplementing with zinc during periods of high-training volumes and/or caloric deficits can prevent reductions in testosterone in men2,3.
Besides your mojo going in the tank during peak training cycles and cuts, your thyroid levels can also plummet. Plummeting thyroid=bad, so we want to try and mitigate that.
Replacing the large amounts of zinc lost in the sweat of hard training athletes has been shown to prevent loses in both T4 and the more bioactive T32,4. In both these studies, the doses they were given were pretty physiological, meaning they were within the range of what you see in your normal zinc supplement.
In addition to maintaining thyroid function during hard training and cuts, zinc might also help improve glucose uptake into cells. Now, while this research is currently limited to mechanistic studies in cells and initial observations in mice it makes the case that maintaining your zinc status is probably a good idea in all respects5
Let's move on from zinc and give magnesium some love. Magnesium (Mg2+) is an atomic mineral involved in more than 300 essential metabolic reactions and plays an essential role in a wide range of fundamental biological processes. Perhaps the most notable aspects of magnesium supplementation is its effect on sleep and insulin signaling.
Lifting big and eating big are great for building muscle, but they are pretty much wasted efforts if you stay up all night playing Call of Duty. Sleep is pretty essential for maximizing your gains.
There are 2 well controlled studies looking at the effect of magnesium supplementation on sleep. People taking magnesium were able to improve sleep quality and reduce sleeping cortisol levels despite having had less than desirable sleep6. In another study, taking magnesium improved sleep quality in people who were magnesium deficient7.
Protein That You Need To Know
Protein is my favorite macro.
Because steak is awesome, protein shakes are the greatest invention of the 20th century, and I like building muscle.
So naturally, I get a little frustrated when people spread falsehoods about my favorite macro.
Related: 43 Easy High Protein Recipes!
Now, seeing that I am a scientist and I value the truth, I think I should stand in on behalf of protein and defend it against some of the popular myths about it.
"Go easy on the protein shakes bro, you are going to wreck your kidneys."
If I had a dollar for every time I heard or read that protein was going to hurt my kidneys…. well… I would probably be retired and blogging full time.
Recently, Dr. Jose Antonio did a study to answer the following question, "Basically, if we stuff you full of protein (like 4g/kg a day) what happens to your kidneys and your blood tests?"
Well it turns out that if you take healthy young men and cram them full of protein and have them lift weights, their kidneys are just fine and it had no effect on their blood work1.
These people ate about 270 grams of protein a day for 8 weeks and their kidneys and blood were just fine.
This myth really, really needs to die.
For some reason some doctors and scientists got some nonsense in their heads about protein making your blood acidic and that it caused calcium to be "leached" from your bones to buffer out your blood, effectively making your bones brittle and weak. Turns out, that is entirely untrue, the hypothesis has been refuted by several lines of evidence.
First, a study directly addressing this question found that a diet high in protein had no change in biomarkers of bone resorption or formation, indicating that a high protein diet has no adverse effects on bone health2. This evidence supports the notion that high-protein diets are not detrimental to bone health.
Second, we know that high-protein diets actually increase calcium absorption in the digestive tract, and increased blood calcium elicits calcitonin release from the thyroid and promotes calcium deposition in bone tissue. To this point, there have been several studies supporting the idea that increased intestinal calcium absorption due to high-protein diets may actually improve bone health
I thought of a lot of clever ways to put this, but to quote one of the most prolific high protein diet researchers in the field (Dr. Jose Antonio):
"You gain weight. No shit. If you lift weights and eat a bucketful of protein, you will likely gain lean body mass. But here's the kicker. If all you did was overeat on protein
No joke, in 2 separate studies where they overfed people protein, those who took in extra calories from protein lost weight. Don't believe me? Here is the data (data is adopted from reference
The Advantage for Pre workout Nutrition
Serious lifters need massive amounts of energy and focus to fuel their intensive workouts.
Pre-workout nutrition and supplementation achieve these objectives in the most efficient manner possible.
However, the pre-workout period is also a time to promote muscle growth.
To experience the kind of muscle growth commensurate with intensive gym efforts, muscle protein synthesis must occur frequently, especially before, during, and after workouts.
Muscle functions in an anabolic or catabolic state. To experience ongoing muscle gains, the rate of muscle protein synthesis (the anabolic state) must continue to exceed the rate of muscle protein degradation (the catabolic state).
Every effort must be made to ensure the right nutrients are taken at the right times to keep growth on an upward trajectory. Pre-workout is the ideal time to prime the body for high performance, fat burning, and post-workout recovery. This article will show how.
Confusion reigns when it comes to pre-workout nutrition. Whole-food meals consisting of proteins and carbs are thought to be sufficient. Though important, whole foods pre-workout are only part of the equation. Which begs the questions: What about supplementation? What are the best options and specific ingredients?
As a committed gymgoer you may find yourself seeking answers on how to get the most from each workout through cutting-edge supplementation. Look no further. What follows is a detailed overview of the best pre-workout essentials needed to fuel workout intensity and engage the growth process.
Before downing an effective pre-workout product, the all-important pre-workout meal must first be addressed. Aside from providing training energy, the pre-workout meal also helps to offset muscle protein breakdown. In fact, research shows training on an empty stomach increases nitrogen losses from protein breakdown by more than double.
To optimize performance and retain muscle, it's essential to eat a solid meal within two hours before training. Poor pre-workout nutrition can lead to excessive cortisol release during training, which can lead to suboptimal fat oxidation and also muscle losses.
Whether an early morning cardio session or an abdominal workout upon rising, always eat beforehand. No more fasted cardio or weights!
Pre-workout supplementation tops the fuel tank to increase training energy, offset fatigue, and enhance muscle growth. The pre-workout meal doesn't have to be excessive: around 400 calories comprised of 70% low glycemic carbs (vegetables and oats) and 30% lean proteins (egg whites and chicken breasts).
Foods and Supplements
Normally, short-term inflammation is a natural process that plays an important role in healing and cellular repair when you're injured or sick.
However, it can also be bad, very bad, depending on the cause and duration.
This is known as chronic low-key inflammation, and plays an integrative role in diseases such as Arthritis, Obesity, Cancer.
It's roots are often based in poor nutritional choices or other unhealthy lifestyle decisions.
Inflammation is a very serious issue. Some researchers even state it as the key cause of diseases1,2,3.
There are a host of lifestyle factors that can combine to cause inflammation. Here are things to watch out for:
Elevated Blood Sugar Levels: Numerous studies have shown when your ability to handle carbohydrates and blood sugar levels is impaired, cell damage can results from constantly high blood sugar levels. This causes an increase in inflammatory-associated genes and increased inflammation4.
Processed Food: Increased intake of processed foods, sugar-sweetened drinks, sweets, candies and baked products are associated with higher levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), a pro-inflammatory marker used to measure inflammation
Body fat: Increase in body fat levels and obesity can elevate pro-inflammatory markers and contribute to chronic inflammation
Food Allergies: Eating foods that you are allergic to leads to rapid increases in inflammation.
Food Intolerances: Although you'll know if real intolerance occurs, eating foods you are only slightly intolerant to can be a serious issue. Since the side effects are more mild (bloating, stomach cramp, gastrointestinal stress etc), you may continue to eat these foods, which can contribute to chronic inflammation.
Disrupted Gut: Bacteria or fungal infections, leaky gut or disruptions to your healthy gutbacteria can shoot your immune system into overdrive and inflammation7, 8.
Cortisol & Stress: Cortisol, the stress hormone, can lead to whole body systemic inflammation, with studies noting large increases in CRP or pro-inflammatory cytokines
Environmental Toxins: Toxins from BPA plastics and containers, fragrances, unfiltered water, air pollutants etc. can contribute to low-grade inflammation.
To get an accurate indicator of your inflammation levels it requires expensive blood tests. However, some common signs or symptoms you experience daily may be linked to chronic inflammation. These include:
- Long-term joint pain
- Gut or Digestive Issues
- Regular Fungal or Viral infections
- Acid Reflux
- Arthritis or similar disease
- Chronic Pain
- Blood Sugar or Metabolic Issues
- Diabetes
- Osteoporosis
While these symptoms may be present for numerous other reasons, if you suspect you have inflammatory issues it's worth consulting a medical professional to undergo specific tests.
Workout Supplement That You Need
What you consume pre- and post-workout is important. But to maximize your exercise performance, improve recovery, and decrease muscle damage, there's another window of opportunity you may be missing.
Intra-workout supplementation.
Intra-workout supplementation is the scientific-sounding name for supplementation taken during your workout. So how important is it—and does it make a difference?
Given all the hype-driven product-pushing that exists these days, you might wonder if this is just another marketing-invented category of supplements with no real benefit.
The truth is, intra-workout supplementation is rooted in scientific data and highly beneficial to anyone looking to accelerate their progress and boost their recovery.
If you've been too skeptical to ever try an intra-workout supplement, or if you've tried an improperly formulated product, it's time to learn what intra-workout supplementation is and why it works.
The idea of nutrient consumption during workouts has been tossed around gyms for the past decade or so. That being said, many bodybuilders have forgone this crucial strategy. Why?
Many intra-workout misconceptions exist. The mechanical digestion of nutrients diverts blood from muscles and is energy-robbing.
Certain compounds, notably caffeine, can dehydrate muscles and deplete training energy. The excessive intake of stimulants may over-stimulate the central nervous system and cause muscle fatigue.The intake of certain nutrients during training is time consuming and inconvenient.
While the above are true, they are also not the most effective intra-workout strategies. Unfortunately, the association they have with intra-workout nutrition prevents many from taking advantage of one of the most powerful growth determinants.
Much of today's muscle-building progress can be attributed to nutrition. In the not too distant past, workout nutrition was rather primitive. A meal one hour before training and a protein shake post-workout was about it. In recent years, supplement savvy lifters have taken a more scientific approach to "peri-workout" nutrition (the time before, during, and after your workout).
However, what is arguably the most important of the three nutritional windows, intraworkout nutrition, is still frequently neglected.
How to Fat Loss With Supplement
The phytochemical capsaicin is the substance found in chili peppers that contributes to the hot and spicy flavor of the chili pepper.
This miraculous compound has the unique capacity to promote a wide range of positive effects on human health, including reduced body fat, powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, and improved cardiovascular health.
In fact, a recent epidemiological study investigating almost half a million people showed that the habitual consumption of chili-rich foods, loaded with capsaicin, reduced the likelihood of death from certain chronic diseases such as cancer and heart disease, relative to those who did not consume chili-rich, spicy foods.1
In addition to capsaicin activating the TRPV1 receptor in certain neurons found within thegastrointestinal tract, triggering a process known as thermogenesis that burns body fat, capsaicin also produces many additional health benefits by activating the same TRPV1 receptor, yet in other tissues throughout the body.
Activation of TRPV1 within these tissues triggers the function of different protein molecules, resulting in unique effects that are tissue-specific.
One of the more influential TRPV1-dependent effects from capsaicin intake is the activation of TRPV1-expressing neurons within the oral cavity and gastrointestinal tract, which ultimately increases the amount of energy expenditure in brown adipose tissue (BAT) by a process known as thermogenesis.2
Although the mechanism of action is not completely understood, some of the details include capsaicin activation of the TRPV1 receptor within the oral cavity and gastrointestinal tract, which triggers the release of noradrenaline.
The release of noradrenaline then stimulates the process of thermogenic fatty acid oxidation within BAT, which has the unique capacity of uncoupling the normally linked process of fatty acid oxidation with cellular energy production in the form of ATP. Consequently, the energy is instead directly converted into heat, which effectively increases energy expenditure.
Several studies looking at the impact of capsaicin on metabolic rate have shown that capsaicin does enhance energy expenditure while boosting fat oxidation, promoting significant weight loss.3,4
It has also been shown that the positive influence of capsaicin on thermogenesis is greatest in those people with the most BAT5, and there is some evidence indicating that sustained intake of capsaicin can increase BAT levels in humans6 — meaning that long-term capsaicin intake could boost BAT levels, improving the capacity to thermogenically burn body fat.
The consumption of capsaicin can also reduce appetite and food intake2, further supporting the ability to lose weight— and, perhaps more importantly, keep it off for good. Although the appetite-suppressing effect of capsaicin has been observed in several trials, it is not entirely understood how capsaicin reduces appetite.
That said, some details have been uncovered with the release of noradrenaline triggered by capsaicin, as previously mentioned, appearing to contribute to the reduction in appetite— as the stimulation of the noradrenaline receptors in the brain has been shown to produce feelings of satiety.7
In addition, capsaicin intake has also been shown to cause an increase in the gut-derived hormone GLP-1, which turns on regions of the brain that diminish food intake by reducing hunger.8
Moreover, this effect appears to be TRPV1-dependent, as the hunger-reducing impact of capsaicin was absent in mice that were genetically altered so they could not produce the TRPV1 receptor in gastrointestinal cells.
Overall, studies have shown that the consumption of capsaicin does decrease hunger3, as capsaicin-treated subjects typically report a reduced desire to eat while also achieving greater satiety after meals.

Razer Surround Pro 2.010 Crack & Activation Key Full Free Download
Razer Surround Pro 2.010 Crack One of the most famous software that is well-known gamers, Razer released Razer encircle, a surround noise simulator precise for video gaming applications. Several gamers would consent that the element of sound adds to the gaming experience. Without a sound that is great the gaming experience is hindered and perhaps not conducive. The PC software uses the most helpful virtual 7.1 channel surround sound technology to render a gaming experience that is invincible. Surely one of the most important aspects related to software is it truly works with any type of CD player headphones.
Razer Surround Pro 2.010 Activation key most recent generation virtual surround technologies are often incorrect given that every individual consist of a reply that is exclusive simulated sound phases as a result essential surround sound is often regarded as substandard to the discrete surround sound set ups. This system game that is in particular avail that set sounds based on the game scene. One of the main advantages of the PC software utilizing it is possible to select quality that is sound to your game size and photos. If a size of the game is bigger than you should select complete HD stereo sound for better and noise that is obvious outcomes.
Razer Surround Pro Activation key latest version
If you at present utilize a Razer Mouse or any of their more recent peripherals, you possibly already have Razer Synapse installed and successively. Razer Surround integrates with Synapse and shows up as a tab on the bottom of the window.
Razer Surround Pro 2.010 Crack All you require to get it running is to go during the speedy setup and calibration method and you'll be equipped to start using Razer Surround. Yes, it does work, but not exclusive of some caveats. It doesn't even come close to the experience of using a genuine 5.1 or 7.1 speaker system, but it does roll any stereo headphones into a virtual surround sound experience. Hence it's the world greatest tool you are able to increase sound quality according to game form. Besides adjust sounds pitch as well as quality according to your needs. One of the major drawbacks is that high pitch sounds will be damaged users hearing capacity if he is listening incessantly with headphone. Razer Surround Pro 2.010 Crack Therefore this thing is very significant to set ideal sounds according to surroundings with advance sound setting tools.
Razer Surround has a very simple interface
A lot of the software bundled with headphones and cards that are sound pretty horrific—buggy, unsightly, and just half-functional. Razer Synapse might not be perfect, but Razer Surround works really well along with it. Most of the settings have easy checkboxes and sliders that look good and proceed as you'd wait for. Additional features like the bass boost additionally the EQ can be accessible and work surprisingly well.
Bass boost is amazing which gets tossed around a lot. People either seem to think it's great or hate it. Razer's bass boost works fine and can help enhance the bass in any type of audio. We unearthed that the amount that is ideal of boost is determined by what you're deploying it on. Some songs benefited from cranking it although some had been ruined by the bass that is excessive. At max, the bass that is bloated up ruining the mids and highs, but when utilized in moderation it really does help make the bass punchier and more pronounced. Keep cranking it up and the bass shall get progressively looser and less enjoyable, eventually overwhelming any vocals in the song.
What is Razer Surround Pro?

Mouse Willow
Mouse Willow is a young man who works as an intern in his father's downtown office in a large American city. When a mysterious blue light encompasses the city, as well as the rest of the world, mankind is thrown into chaos. All humans are shrunk to one-twelfth of their normal size. Mouse has had premonitions all his life and they've always been accurate. Just before the light struck, he passed out because he had a horrid premonition that mankind was going to be destroyed and it nearly was.
After Mouse recovers, he emerges as a leader of the group of workers from his father's business. He has a sense of where to lead them to safety and finds his way outside. Mouse must stand up to great pressures and loss that he encounters along the path to safety. His father is killed in a conflict with another group of survivors they encounter. Other members of his group are killed and injured.
Mouse instills confidence in the other members of the group and he leads them through many challenges and dangers including an attack by rats which are now bigger than the people are. He has a premonition that the future now lies in the past and that he must return to his home to see if his mother, grandfather and sister survived. His instincts tell him that he must lead his army of followers to the Willow house where civilization will be saved.
Beatrix Willow
Beatrix Willow is the younger sister of Mouse Willow. She is nicknamed "Beat" and was named after Beatrix Potter. When the blue light strikes earth, Beatrix is at the family home with her mother. Beatrix and her mother are of course shocked when they are shrunk to one-twelfth of their normal size. Even though she is very young, Beatrix seems to take over and begins to display the same leadership skills as that of her older brother.
Beatrix is immediately concerned about the welfare of her grandfather who was working in the garden when the light hit. She manages to crawl through a window and make her way to the yard which is now like a dense jungle. Just when a garter snake is about to attack her grandfather, George, Beatrix strikes it down with a weapon she fashioned from a scrap of wood she found in the weeds.
Beatrix is also concerned about how her neighbors are faring after the disruptive event. She locates Dr. Helen Germain who is frantic over the fate of her young children who were at school when the blue light struck. She leads Dr. Germain to the school and where they find her two children who survived the ordeal. She also finds a neighbor and his two adult sons who are engineers. She brings them back to the Willow house where they construct walkways to a scale that allows the miniature people to make their way around the complex.
Beatrix proves over and over again that she is brave, intelligent, and resourceful in dealing with a dangerous threat and that she has the ability to readily adapt to a new reality.
Bob Willow
Bob Willow is the father of Mouse and Beatrix. He is in his downtown office when the blue light strikes. Bob does not make it home. He dies from wounds that he suffered in a conflict with a group of rogues.
Jackie Willow
Jackie Willow is the mother of Mouse and Beatrix. She is at home with Beatrix when the blue light strikes and encompasses earth.
George is the grandfather of Mouse and Beatrix. He is outside gardening when the blue light attacks earth. Beatrix saves him from an attack by a garter snake.
D-A-V is one of the survivors. He helps Mouse and his group find their way to safety. Angels visit him and tell him about future events.
Dr. Helen Germain
Dr. Helen Germain is a neighbor of the Willows. Beatrix escorts her to her children's school where she finds them safe and sound.
The Hoyles
Beatrix checks on one of their neighbors, the Hoyles, and brings Mr. Hoyle and his two adult sons who are engineers back to the Willow house. The two sons construct miniature walkways so the now tiny people can get around more easily in the complex.
Poppit is the leader of the wild children. Poppit is blind and has the gift of prophecy.
Ruth is the leader of a peaceful group that Mouse and his followers encounter. They join up with Mouse's group and travel with them to the Willow complex.

Metabolic Profiling and its RelevanceBY: Noah Machuki | Category: Applications | Submitted: 2013-04-28 21:18:24
Article Summary: "What is Metabolic Profiling? Metabolism is the bio-chemical processes that occur within a living organism in order to maintain life. Metabolic profiling is defined as the use of analytical methods in measurement and interpretation of various endogenous low molecular weight and intermediates from their samples..."
Metabolism is the bio-chemical processes that occur within a living organism in order to maintain life. Metabolic profiling is defined as the use of analytical methods in measurement and interpretation of various endogenous low molecular weight and intermediates from their samples. Metabolic profiling makes use of metabolome, which is a collection of metabolites found in an organism. Both primary and secondary metabolites are necessary in this field. Xenometabolites, which are foreign metabolites, such as those caused by drugs are also useful.
Metabolic profiling has been used in detecting and analysis of metabolites both in-vivo and in-vitro. It is also used in functional genomes to compare the functions of different genes in plants. It therefore, has been applied in different field examples which are, in disease diagnosis and description and in drug development in pharmaceuticals. It is also of ecological significance, helping to determine interaction of different organisms with the environment. It hence helps assess the health of organisms from the molecular level.
Several detecting and analytic techniques are used in this field. The most powerful and widely used include: Gas chromatography linked to mass spectrometry, Liquid chromatography linked to mass spectrometry and Nuclear magnetic resonance. In this article, an anti tumor drug action and the metabolic effects caused by a drug on the phenotype of tomato and pea plants are focused as examples. Genes encoding malate synthase and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase that were silenced by RNAi strategy and antisense technology in transgenic tomato plants are also given as examples. A critical thinking on cancer treatment and plant transgenic is given at the end of this work. In this study, it is advised that most sophisticated techniques of metabolic profiling are used.
Metabolic profiling is a study of chemical processes that are associated to and involve metabolites. It is a study of chemical fingerprints that are very unique and that any specific physiological processes in a cell always leave behind. Metabolic profiling can also be defined as the use of analytical methods in measurement and interpretation of various endogenous low molecular weight and intermediates from their samples. This study makes use of metabolome and it provides a critical view of the physiological characteristic of a cell, tissue or the whole organism as compared to proteomic analysis and mRNA analysis. Metabonomics and metabolomics are other terms used in description of this study.
In this article, metabolic profiling is employed to detect and assess the pathology and toxicology on transgenic tomatoes and peas plants. An anti tumor drug is focused on together with the effect of a drug to the phenotype of these plants. It explains the use of several detection and analytical techniques in separation and analysis of the metabolomes. These techniques include chromatography linked to mass spectrometry and chromatography linked to Nuclear magnetic resonance, (NMR).
A metabolome is a term used to represent all metabolites in a sample. The sample can be a cell, tissue or the whole organism. These metabolites are the end and/or intermediate products of cellular activities. They are classified into primary and secondary metabolites. Primary metabolites are those metabolites which are directly associated and involved in the organism's development, growth and reproduction. On the other hand, secondary metabolites are those metabolites which are not directly involved in the aspects named. Xenometabolites, which are metabolites as a result of foreign substances like drugs are important too. Example of primary metabolite is the alcohol produced in cellular activities. Secondary metabolites include pigments and antibiotics. In metabolomics, a metabolite is determined to have a size of less than one kilodalton. These metabolites, both primary and secondary are necessary and of interest in this study.
Metabolic profiling has been applied in many different fields. It is of great relevance and necessity to pharmaceuticals where it is used in toxicity assessment. A chemical insult to a candidate is empirically determined by detecting the physiological changes it causes to a candidate. Blood plasma and/or urine are common samples in this study. In the development of drug against diseases, it enables the evaluation of toxicity of a drug in a candidate. The effects of an anti tumor drug administered to a tomato or pea plant can be evaluated by observed at the molecular level by carrying out metabolic profiling on these plants. Therefore, if specific compounds need to be eliminated before they reach clinical trial, the metabolic profiling technique provides a cheap methodology.
Metabolic profiling is also relevant in functional genomics. It enables to determine the phenotype of an organism as a result of a specific genetic alteration or manipulation. Genomic alterations could include gene deletion and insertion among others. These studies have been used in determination of the suitability of plants which have undergone genetic manipulation to human and animal consumption among other uses of the plants. It has been used to detect the suitability of manipulating the genetic makeup tomatoes and peas. Two genes encoding malate synthase and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase were silenced by RNAi strategy and antisense technology. Then the phenotype of the resultant plant was compared with that of the initial. These studies are also used to predict the function of both known and unknown genes. The prediction can be done by comparison of the metabolites produced by the function of the genes.
Metabolomics is also used in ecological studies. It is used to determine the relationship of organisms in the environment. The approach of metabolic profiling in ecological studies is used to assess an organism's health at molecular level. For instance, the metabolic process and effects of a certain pasture to ruminants can be determined. Likewise it can be used to assess of consumption of substances from genetically modified organisms by human. The relationship between different types of cancer and consumption of genetically modified food substances like corn can be solved in this study.
Different analytical techniques used. Gas chromatography is a powerful technique in this field. Especially when linked with mass spectrometry. This is because it offers a very high resolution in analysis of metabolome in samples. Mass spectrometry is a technique used in the detection of the metabolite in question. It is used for two purposes, to identify and quantify the metabolites after they have been separated. When the two techniques are linked, they have provided the most powerful tool in metabolic profiling.
Other types of chromatography are also useful in these studies. However, they provide a lower resolution as compared to Gas chromatography. High performance liquid chromatography and thin layer chromatography have been widely used when compared linked to Nuclear Magnetic Resonance as a detection method. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is a technique of detecting that does not rely on the separation of the metabolites. It also allows the recovery of the sample.
After a critical thinking, I suspect that metabolomic studies can unveil biomarkers for all diseases that affect all organisms. The relationship between cancer that afflict human and genetically modified food substances can be solved too, hence giving a lee way to the development of cancer remedies. Cancer is an abnormal and uncontrollable growth of cells. Medically it is known as malignant neoplasm. The abnormal growth of cells develops into tumors, which invade different parts of the body although not all tumors are cancerous. There is a suspected substantial link between the tumors and diet. This link can be unveiled by following closely the metabolic process of the substances ingested and suspected to cause cancer. Metabolites from various samples like blood and faeces can detected and subjected into analysis. The genes that control and function to release these metabolites can be detected too and manipulated. The application of both targeted and non targeted metabolic profiling techniques can yield much is this study. Detective and analysis techniques like thin layer chromatography and nuclear magnetic resonance can be used to detect and in analysis of the metabolosome in samples. Metabolic profiling can also be used to improve the fruiting of tomatoes and peas, both in quality and quantity. The genes concerned with the reproduction and the metabolites produced in the process can be subjected to study hence improving their quality and quantity.

After seeing comments from men such as the following...
"How does a boy learn to bridge the gap between [a woman's] power and his feelings of powerlessness? To make him feel less like a puppy dog begging for a morsel?" - Warren Farrell
"I felt completely powerless against women.. I knew they could make me do anything because I wanted them so bad."
... I asked a couple questions.
https://www.girlsaskguys.com/other/q2043702-guys-do-you-ever-feel-inferior-in-the-face-of-the-allure-power-of-a "Guys, do you ever feel inferior in the face of the allure and power of a sexy woman?" and 50% of men said yes.
https://www.girlsaskguys.com/other/q2023908-do-you-ever-feel-powerless-in-comparison-to-the-other-gender Only 17% of men reported feeling powerful in comparison to women, whereas 45% reported feeling powerless.
I wonder: Could this be why so many men historically & presently try to act dominant and/or superior? Is it an attempt to comfort themselves & assure themselves that they do have power?

Men do not act dominant and superior because they feel helpless and weak around women, they do it to attract women because this is what women want, wether women admit to this fact or not. Men have always been devoted to women thats why they can work themselves near to death, as they have done through out all of history, and then give the entire fruit of their labor over to women. Its why they died for women. This notion that men try to dominate women and control them is idioticly stupid as is evident by literally everything in our entire society from the gendered laws benefiting women to the practices that require men to sacrifice all they have worked for for women to laying down their vary lives. Where did you get this notion that men try to dominate women? The only time a man does that is to because he thinks a woman will responde positively to it since that is what women want in a man a leader some one who seems to have his shit together and is willing to take what he wants because those attributes imply strength status and by extention the ability to provide and protect her.10|10|0

Yes now lets look at the male half. Bacha Bazi where male children have to whore themselves out in order to provide food and shelter to their able body mothers. Men who go to prison because they can't afford to pay the taxes on their wifes income (hence so many beign against women working because they are not allowed to use the money to provide for the family ie it belongs to her and her alone and she has no social or legal obligation to care for the family but he is absolutely obligated to pay the taxes on it or go to prison (in fact this has been exploited by women to get their husbands arrested and imprisoned). As for the abuse what a woman feels and what is happening are two very different things ie what are the statistics and what are the statistics for female on male spousal abuse. For instance in the US we have laws against domestic violence against women and portray men as violent towards women all while statistical evidence shows women are actually far more likely to be
perpetrators of domestic violence (to both their husbands and children). So this was what I was trying to get at, its sexist because you ignore the entire other half of the society ie men. Look at what they said if a woman fails at her duties as a mother and wife she is disicplined by the husband (or rather she believes he has the right to do so). What happens if he fails in his duties as a husband and father? He gets imprisoned or publicly stoned or flogged etc. So again, your ignoring half the data. Like killing cheating women, Your completely ignoring the fact that the man was expected to work himself to death on her behalf, to stand and fight and die and sacrifice himself for her the only thing she was required to do was be faithful to him. So when she failed at that the punishment was sever because he lost years of his life of his work because of her. Its also why a man would suffer the same fate if he stopped providing for his family. So again you ignored the other half.

I think people generalize way, way, WAY too much here.
For most normal people, 99 percent of interaction between the sexes -- whether platonic or romantic -- doesn't carry any significant element of "power play". Which is why those few select interactions that DO have those elements, are so noticeable, and why those few interactions tend to burn a hole in our brains that's bigger than life.
I mean, consider this (seemingly frivolous, but perhaps not) question, along with my response to it:
Okay, part of the point here is to put in a shameless plug for that opinion (which I thought was a very good answer, lol).
But the other part is to illustrate that both of those moments -- the one in the original question, and the one in my opinion response -- are TRANSIENT. They last but a moment. They have the power of pure rapture on the other person, but their duration is literally measured in seconds.
Do these reflect the way either party feels OVERALL?
Not really...
I mean, these kinds of moments aren't even necessarily a reliable barometer for how either partner feels about **that specific relationship**. Let alone how they feel about the entire opposite sex across the board, lol.
Do they signify *something*? Sure. On some level, literally every behavior signifies... *something*.
But, to think anything can be generalized therefrom, is foolishness.00|00|0

Barely a week after health minister Surya Kanta Mishra criticised hospital unions for posing hindrances to healthcare delivery in the state, chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee issued a stern warning to those creating problems in hospitals on Saturday.
We shall throw out these trouble-mongers from the hospitals if they indulge in unruly behaviour, Bhattacharjee said, while addressing a meeting of party workers at Jadavpur. A few months ago, Bhattacharjee had made a similar comment against government doctors, warning that they would be sacked for dereliction of duty. However, he later apologised as doctors strongly reacted to the statement.
Referring to the prevailing situation in government hospitals, the chief minister said: It is unfortunate that strays are found roaming in wards and cabins. Whats worse, people spit on the hospital premises, with scant regard for hygiene. We cannot allow all this at a time when we are determined to bring in reforms in healthcare management.
The chief minister had recently voiced his concern over the stand-off between the staff and the management of AMRI-Apollo Hospital over payment of bonus. The admission of emergency patients had remained suspended in the hospital for a couple of days. Sources said reforms in healthcare top Bhattacharjees agenda.
On Saturday, he also came down heavily on primary teachers who shirk their duty on the pretext of attending party meetings. I have information that teachers in some primary schools often stay away from classes on the plea of attending party meetings and processions. We have to deal with such recalcitrant teachers firmly. They should be identified, he warned.
Inaugurating the Institute of Technology and Management at Dinabandhu Andrews College in Garia on Saturday evening, the chief minister unveiled plans to increase the number of management seats in the wake of rapid industrialisation in the state. Fresh opportunities are coming up in management and IT due to industrial rejuvenation in Bengal, he added.
Altogether 95 students have taken admission to the institutes Bachelor of Business Administration and Bachelor of Computer Application.

Supplemental Security Income:
Progress Made in Implementing Welfare Reform Changes; More Action Needed
HEHS-99-103: Published: Jun 28, 1999. Publicly Released: Jun 28, 1999.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-7202
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a legislative requirement, GAO reviewed the impact of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 on the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Program, focusing on the Social Security Administration's (SSA) progress in: (1) redetermining the eligibility of children already receiving benefits against the law's new eligibility criteria; (2) implementing the law's requirements for ongoing continuing disability reviews (CDR) and the related treatment provision; and (3) revising the interim final regulations to implement the law's eligibility criteria and the medical listings for childhood impairments, which are used to determine whether a child is disabled.
GAO noted that: (1) SSA has completed 98 percent of the one-time eligibility redeterminations required for 288,000 children already receiving benefits when welfare reform was enacted; (2) by November 1998, these redeterminations had found about 115,300 children to be ineligible for SSI; (3) however, the actual number of children who ultimately will lose benefits is not yet known, because about half of the 115,300 children found ineligible have appealed the results of their redeterminations; (4) SSA estimates that about 100,000 children will be found ineligible for SSI after all required redeterminations and appeals are completed; (5) in fiscal year (FY) 1997, SSA conducted CDRs, when required, on two of the three groups of children targeted by the new law: (a) low-birth-weight babies (7,100); and (b) 18-year-olds (48,800); (6) however, SSA did not conduct CDRs in 1997 for the largest of the three groups--all other children under 18 whose impairments are likely to improve; (7) existing backlogs and competing workloads have impeded SSA's ability to perform CDRs on this group; (8) when FY 1998 began, SSA had 371,000 CDRs to complete for these children; (9) SSA plans to ensure that all required childhood CDRs will be completed or underway by 2000; (10) the delay in conducting most CDRs also delayed application of the law's new requirement that the child's representative payee provide evidence, at the time of each CDR, that the child is and has been receiving medically necessary and available treatment for his or her impairment; (11) SSA has not yet decided whether any revisions are necessary to the interim final regulations that were issued to implement the law's new definition of disability for children; (12) SSA has taken initial steps to update its medical listing of impairments, which are used to determine whether a child qualifies for benefits; (13) however, it has not revised its medical listings to ensure that all children are assessed against a uniform severity standard; (14) while SSA says it has made updating the listings a priority and that it plans to eliminate inconsistencies among the listings as it proceeds, it has not set a timetable for achieving this; and (15) until SSA completes this initiative, its medical listings for childhood impairments will continue to reflect multiple levels of severity and therefore will not ensure equity among children receiving SSI disability benefits.
