New York -- Wal-Mart Stores reported in a regulatory filing that its investigation into violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, a federal antibribery law, has extended beyond Mexico to China, India and Brazil.
"Inquiries or investigations regarding allegations of potential FCPA violations have been commenced in a number of foreign markets where we operate, including but not limited to Brazil, China, and India,'' the company said in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing that accompanied its third-quarter financial results.
In the filing, Wal-Mart said it had "identified or been made aware of'" other potential violations.
"When such allegations are reported or identified, the Audit Committee and the company, together with their third-party advisers, conduct inquiries and when warranted based on those inquiries, open investigations," the retailer said.

|If it's soup weather where you are, try this Cannellini Bean and Kale Soup with Ham and Sherry Vinegar.
10 comments:
Your soups all look so inviting! I love soup this time of year, such a comforting meal. My favorites are lentil and black bean soups.ReplyDelete
Soup is one of the hardest things to photograph (in my opinion -- I'm still trying to get it right). All of yours look so appealing. In soups that call for ham, because I don't eat it, I often substitute some barbecue sauce. Not phase one, I know, but it's handy to know that there's a good substitute.ReplyDelete
It is soup time, and we love many varieties of lentil soup best. Lentil with spinach and shitake mushrooms is a favorite now. Real Hungarian Gulyas leves (goulash) is another favorite, or just plain (though it's anything but) weight watchers vegetable soup.ReplyDelete
I highly recommend the Goulash Soup--that was a major winner in our house.ReplyDelete
I will have to look at the sauerkraut recipe--love the stuff. Usually we make a kielbassa kraut soup as we live in a ethnic area with top-notch kielbasa.
Thanks everyone. Glad people are enjoying these soups.ReplyDelete
These soups look amazing. I especially love the ground beef and sauerkraut one.ReplyDelete
Thanks Daryl, that one is also one of my favorites out of all the soups on the blog.ReplyDelete
Love the healthy and delicious soup! Might try my veggie version.ReplyDelete
I made the Ham, Kale and Cannelini Soup for lunch with my friends and we all thought it was great. It makes a lot of soup. I've eaten it for dinner for 3 days noa and I still like it.ReplyDelete
Simone, so glad you enjoyed the soup; thanks for taking time to let me know!ReplyDelete
I'm so happy you're taking the time to comment on Kalyn's Kitchen! I love hearing from people who stop by, especially if you're sharing feedback or asking questions about a recipe I've posted here.

For as long as Jack can remember he'd been a resident of Bandit Creek. For almost two hundred years he's been roaming the streets, alone, drinking to forget about his damned life. Cursed by a demon, he can't die, although he's tried many times. The only thing that can release him from this wretched existence is to find the gold he stole all those years ago and return it to those who died in the flood. Only problem is…with his mind so ruined he can't remember where he buried it.
His salvation comes with Kristen Morgan's arrival. The infamous psychic and the sheriff's daughter can help him. There's only one other person who knows where the gold is…his long dead partner Colton. And Kristen's seen him in her dreams.

Once-Daily Drug Regimen for HIV-Infected Patients
- Full Text View

- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
This study will examine the safety of giving antiviral therapy for HIV infection in a once-daily dosing schedule, and assess how well patients tolerate this regimen. A once a day dosing schedule may be easier for some people to follow than one that requires taking medicine 2 or 3 times a day. The ease of treatment is important, because not following the prescribed dosing regimen may make therapy less effective or ineffective.
HIV-infected patients 18 years and older who have never been treated for their infection may be eligible for this study. Candidates will be screened with a history and physical examination, including blood tests. Participants will take the following medications once a day: 1200 mg of amprenavir (8 capsules); 300 mg of ritonavir (3 capsules); 600 mg of abacavir (2 pills); and 300 mg of lamivudine (2 pills). Patients will have routine blood tests and be seen by a nurse or doctor, or both, at follow-up visits at weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, and 16; then every 8 weeks until week 48; and then every 3 months for up to 3 years. At week 2, a special blood test will be done over the course of a day to measure blood drug levels. For this test, blood samples will be drawn 8 times over a 24-hour period. A heparin lock (a device that allows the needle to remain in the vein) will be used to avoid multiple needle sticks.

Members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) ratified a "landmark agreement" with Boeing last week that will ensure labor peace between the company and its 31,000 machinists for another four years and guarantee the production of the 737 MAX in Renton, Wash. The contract won the support of 74 percent of Boeing's IAM membership, averting the possibility of yet another crippling strike in the Puget Sound area.
The four-year deal, which IAM leaders said would also ensure continuation of widebody work in the Puget Sound region, includes an annual pay raise of 2 percent and cost-of-living adjustments, an incentive program tied to bonuses of between 2 and 4 percent, a ratification bonus of $5,000 for each member, an increase in the formula for calculating pensions in each year of the pact and guarantees that new hires would receive traditional pensions.
NLRB Drops Lawsuit against Boeing
In return, the IAM promised to petition the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to drop a potentially expensive and embarrassing lawsuit against Boeing. A day later, the NLRB obliged. Earlier this year the NLRB accused the company of retaliating against its employees for past strikes by building a new 787 plant in North Charleston, S.C., a move that sparked a bitter partisan clash between right-wing elements in the U.S. Congress and the Administration of President Barack Obama.
"I am very happy to announce that my office has approved the withdrawal of a charge by the machinists union against the Boeing Co., which brings our case in this matter to an end," NLRB acting general counsel Lafe Solomon said in a written statement issued last week.
Solomon stressed that his office "always preferred" a settlement between the IAM and Boeing to an extended court proceeding, and that some 90 percent of "meritorious" NLRB cased get settled as a result of agreements between the parties before the end of litigation.
Boeing expects to build at least three Dreamliners a month in South Carolina—a so-called "right to work" state that bars the practice of requiring union membership as a condition of employment.
In a message to all Boeing Commercial Airplanes employees, BCA chief executive Jim Albaugh thanked the members of the union and the IAM leadership for their hard work and "constructive dialogue" and characterized the deal as proof that "reasonable minds can prevail."

Northwest California is currently plagued by abnormally dry conditions expected to linger through the spring, despite what scientists say was a good start to the year.
While a light rain is forecast over the next few days, the long-term trend is more dry weather, National Weather Service meteorologist Ryan Aylward said.
The weather service released updated drought information this week, placing all of Northwest California under a "D0-Abnormally Dry" designation.
Weather service hydrologist Reginald Kennedy said Northern California is shifting into "abnormally dry" on the U.S. drought monitor.
"It's attributed to the last 60 days' precipitation," he said. "For the area it has been only 25 to 30 percent of normal, so that drove them to give us that description."
"We started out in December ranging anywhere from 125 to 150 percent above normal, but then we just did a complete turnaround for January and February," he added.
In January, Humboldt County was about 35 to 50 percent of normal. In terms of precipitation, that equates to 1.8 inches of rain at the NWS office in Eureka, 1.8 in Scotia, 3.0 in Gasquet and 1.8 at the Crescent City Airport, according to NWS. Normal rainfall is 5.63 inches at the NWS office, 7.59 inches in Scotia, and 8.88 inches in Crescent City.
"Basically what has been causing that was that in the Eastern Pacific, there's been a strong ridge of high pressure, and so all the weather systems that come in across the Pacific Ocean have been forced to go farther north into British Columbia, Washington and northern Oregon. Some even further into northern Nevada," Kennedy said.
When Humboldt County did see rain, it was pushed farther west than normal.
"Typically, what we see in January is an upper level trough which would give either a southwesterly flow or other times a more westerly flow," Kennedy said. "The cold fronts moving across the Pacific Ocean would move into California, but because we had that strong high pressure system they've been forced to go north. That's the reason why it's been dry."
The dry weather is forecast to continue into March.
"In a general sense, if we don't get the spring rains, that impacts the agricultural industry because they won't get the range line grasses they want for the cattle," Kennedy said. "As we move into summer, some of the agricultural areas will have to do more irrigation. It has an impact potentially for summer fire season, but that's kind of getting way out there."
According to Humboldt County Farm Bureau Executive Director Katherine Ziemer, farmers have not noticed anything yet because of all the wet weather in December and January.
"A lot of the dry weather concerns are more in the Midwest and some in the Central Valley, but Humboldt County doesn't seem to be affected this time of year" Ziemer said. "When we have a lot rain, ranchers have a lot more work because of the wet ground and saturation, so it's actually a blessing for Humboldt County to not get so much rain in this winter time, because we've already had plenty for the time being."
When there is a break in the rain, it allows farmers to work outside and do spring planting.
Ziemer said the county will need more rainfall come spring.
Humboldt County Agriculture Department Commissioner Jeff Dolf said he is concern about the current weather pattern and the potential hardships it could cause for local ranchers.
"The coastal areas are not as severely impacted immediately, but when there are prolonged dry periods late into the spring, what happens is that the range line grasses don't flourish as they normally do during a normal rain fall period, and they also dry out sooner, which puts pressures on producers to either cut back their herd sizes or take on additional costs to feed because they're not able to sustain the same herd sizes," Dolf said.
Six Rivers National Forest Deputy Forest Fire Chief Mike Beasley said it is too early to tell what the dry weather could mean for the 2013 fire season.
"We had a good snowfall at the beginning of the winter, and then we had a deficit here these last couple months here," Beasley said. "In January and February, it's been dry, but you know that was helpful that we had some decent snow ... at the high elevations. A lot of that snow lingered through at the high elevations for some time even through January and the first half of February. I think what really will make a big difference is moisture in the next couple of months."
He said fire assessments will be conducted in April and May.

It is widely acknowledged that a combination therapy of cold and heat is the optimum approach for dealing with swelling, pain and accelerating healing.
Ice and cold packs are often used as immediate treatment for acute injuries because the cold reduces swelling and pain. Our wrap, when used with the Neo Cold Pack, can be applied it to the affected area for 15 to 20 minutes at a time. Allow the skin temperature to return to normal before a second or third time. You can use Neo Cold Pack wrapped in brace for an acute injury several times a day for up to three days. Cold therapy is also helpful in treating some overuse injuries or chronic pain in athletes.
When the swelling is gone, heat therapy can help with the healing process. Far Infrared Energy Therapy used in the HIPad® has been shown to affect many positive changes at a cellular level. Heat therapy is used for pain relief, improving blood circulation to promote healing, and helps relax tight muscles.
Our Thermedic wraps make it easy to apply either types of therapy directly to the affected area.
What benefit of HiPad® Far Infrared Heating Technology brings to you?
What benefit of HiPad® Far Infrared Heating Technology brings to you?
With Aerospace grade of Carbon Fiber Fabric, HiPad® is powered with as low as 12 voltage heating technology and natural Far Infrared Rays and it can be widely used in different applications in different fields.
Far Infrared are invisible rays that exist everywhere in our lives. It is a form of energy emitted from the sunlight as well as human and animal bodies. Far Infrared Energy is known as sensible heat, warmth that can be felt with therapeutical benefits of pain relief. The wavelength of HiPad® Far Infrared Energy is 4~12 µm, which is within the wavelength of human body water molecules 6~20 µm. HiPad® Far Infrared Energy can be easily absorbed by human body through resonance with 70% of water constitution. It penetrates to deeper muscle tissues, dilate blood vessels and increase blood flow, delivering essential nutrients and oxygen to cells, aiding the removal of cell waste and promoting healing efficiently.
When is it best to use hot therapy?
Heat is generally used for chronic injuries or injuries that have no inflammation or swelling and it helps relax tight muscles or muscle spasms. Use HiPad Heating Pad wrapped in brace whenever hot applications are desirable for personal comfort, and as recommended by your health care professional for hot therapy. Athletes with chronic pain or injuries may use hot therapy before exercise to increase the elasticity of joint connective tissues and to stimulate blood flow. Safely apply heat to the affected area for 20 to 30 minutes at a time. Never leave heating pad while sleeping.
My cold pack does not feel cold enough?
For the best result, please keep Neo Cold Pack in the freezer for at least 2 hours before use.
Can I sit on or bend my heating pad?
Do not sit on, bend or crush the heating pad. Its very important to have one side exposed to the open air at all times so it can breathe air for safe operation. Using the pad any other way could cause damage to the pad or cause bodily harm.
If temperature controller indicator light is not on?
1. Make sure the adapter is plugged in and all the accessories are well connected.
2. Make sure the power is well supplied then turn it on again.
Warning: Do not get the electrical connector of HiPad Heating Pad wet. In case of an accident, disconnect immediately and take out HiPad Heating Pad, hang it dry before use again. Accessories like the temperature controller and AC/DC adaptor are not waterproof, stop using when encounter with water.

Ten pounds a head demanded to 'Get Britain Cycling'
On Monday 10 February, CTC campaigners Roger Geffen and Chris Peck were photographed alongside British Cycling's Chris Boardman at the Commons Transport Select Committee's inquiry on cycle safety. The inquiry was called following a spate of six cyclists' deaths in London within 13 days last November. CTC, the national cycling charity, and British Cycling have both urged MPs to demand leadership, commitment to quality cycling conditions, and funding of at least £10 per person annually, to 'Get Britain Cycling'.
Making the grade
Congratulations to CTC member Sue Booth, founder of the Chester Fabulous Ladies Cycling Club, who has reached the finals of the inaugural Total Women's Cycling Awards in the Unsung Cycling Heroine category. And further congratulations are in order to CTC Campaigns Director Roger Geffen, who is in the BikeBiz Brit List of the 50 most influential people in cycling.

A Couples' (sic) Ride shows some of the things that can go wrong when partners go cycling together – especially when they are of differing abilities. Maybe this tandem would have been a better option?
We love CycleLove
Rather than going for a ride together, maybe you should buy you and your other half matching Buddy T-shirts by CycleLove, which celebrates 'the best of bike culture'? CycleLens, meanwhile, is a fantastic collection of quirky photographs from the history of cycling that includes a shot of a 'ladies' fixie cycling club' – from 1901!
An about turn for Belfast
After our story a few weeks ago about Belfast's failure to honour the inventors of the first pneumatic tyre, ahead of the city's hosting of the Giro d'Italia, we have learnt that a celebration of their achievement is now due to go ahead. Said local campaigner Roy White: "Belfast's contribution to the world of cycling will be given at least some of the glory it deserves."
A great photo opportunity
Cycle touring is an activity that goes hand-in-hand with photography – after all, you can't take that fabulous scenery home with you any other way. Bicycle Touring Photography is a free guide to taking better pictures by Dutchman Paul Jeurissen. Paul's blog has fantastic shots of his travels worldwide to inspire you with your own efforts.
Doing the ride thing in Scotland
Strangely, 'being patient with your partner' is not included as a rule in the new 'Do the Ride Thing' guide to mountain biking in Scotland. The publication aims to give you the 'knowledge and understanding to explore the country in a safe and responsible manner'. And to get the trails in a fit state, why not take our new Volunteer Trail Repair course?

ORLANDO, Fla. - Durand Scott scored 17 points and Reggie Johnson added 16 points and 13 rebounds to help Miami to an easy 72-50 victory over Central Florida.
Shane Larkin had 11 points and six assists and Kenny Kadji scored 10 for the Hurricanes (7-1), who led wire-to-wire in winning their sixth straight game.
Keith Clanton led UCF with 15 points and nine rebounds. The Knights (6-3) didn't have another player in double figures after shooting only 35.4 percent (17 of 48) for the game.
Miami jumped out to a 37-21 halftime lead behind Johnson and Larkin. UCF got within 11 points on a 3-pointer by Matt Williams with 11:04 left in the game, but that was as close as it would come.

Community health fair at Imhotep Charter highlights lessons about life, sickness and even death
Instead of sitting in science class on Tuesday, students at the Imhotep Institute Charter High School explored several health issues at the school's first annual Community Health Fair.
Packed in the school gymnasium, the students visited more than 30 tables where they picked up information, free writing utensils and fan-favorite nutritious snacks.
Jeffrey Williams, the East Germantown school's principal, said there were two goals for the event: to teach students about some health issues which plague the African-American community and encourage self empowerment.
"We empower them through education as they go to school everyday," Williams said, "but we bring in components that enable the students to empower themselves as far as their mind and body and how all of that is connected. We are hoping they take that information and make it a life practice."
Williams also said that he hoped students would take information from the fair home in order to discuss health issues with family members.
What they learned
In the middle of the room, Imhotep's education coordinator Kamela Jefferson was stationed by the Youth Health Empowerment Project Table. There, Jefferson discussed sex and health.
"Sexual health has gotten pushed to the side and I am hoping to get them engaged, create dialogue and feel open to answer questions and know they can be in charge of their sexual health," said Jefferson.
She cited data which holds that Philadelphia has one of the highest rates of sexually transmitted diseases among comparable states as evidence of the topic's importance on Tuesday.
Tenth grader Mya Kitchen, who played "Sexual Health Jeopardy" and "The Great Condom Race" at the table, said the information will enable her to make wiser decisions regarding her health when she decides to become sexually active.
"I am learning when I am ready to move on to that type of situation, and how to move on and ask partner questions, buy the condom and make sure that it is not ripped so that I can't get pregnant or get anything I don't want," said Kitchen.
Health-fair offerings
Students were also able to blood-pressure tests at two tables and consider donating blood if they were 18 years of age or older.
When Timaya Hedgepeth gladly did the former, she was shocked to learn that it was considered a little high for her age.
Prior to testing, she was unaware of any family history, but knows that diabetes runs in her family. She said she plans to watch her salt and sugar intake and stay active.
In a nearby library, Stephanie Renee from 900 AM WURD and her guests were discussing how various life moments can affect the quality of health during a live broadcast.
Life lessons
The Northwest Community Coalition for Youth also hosted a short workshop with a mother who lost her son through bullying.
On a poster board behind Antoinette Johnson were photos of her son Ali and one of his young daughter.
She described him as "well known and well mannered." Then, she talked about how their great relationship turned into one in which he wouldn't why he was coming home with busted lips and the like as a 16-year-old. The more she pried, the more he pulled away telling her that it was nothing.
When the bruises stopped, she thought everything was okay. It wasn't until Ali turned 21 that she realized what had been going on all those years: Ali was being bullied by a friend's boyfriend.
Bullying escalated to the point of no return when they came in contact again as Ali was at the friend's house when the boyfriend showed up. Two separate altercations took place that same day, the last one killed Ali.
To further illustrate the importance of speaking up when you're being bullied, Johnson turned the poster board around to photo of Ali in the morgue, a "D.B.S." (or death before snitching) tattoo on his chest.
"He never got a chance to hold his baby because of bully," said Johnson, who survived drug addiction, but tried to commit suicide twice because of her son's death.

June 2015
Osteoporosis is a disease that causes the skeleton to weaken and the bones to break. It poses a significant threat to millions of men in the United States.
Despite these compelling figures, surveys suggest that a majority of American men view osteoporosis solely as a "woman's disease." Moreover, among men whose lifestyle habits put them at increased risk, few recognize the disease as a significant threat to their mobility and independence.
Osteoporosis is called a "silent disease" because it progresses without symptoms until a fracture occurs. It develops less often in men than in women because men have larger skeletons, their bone loss starts later and progresses more slowly, and they have no period of rapid hormonal change and bone loss. However, in the past few years the problem of osteoporosis in men has been recognized as an important public health issue, particularly in light of estimates that the number of men above the age of 70 will continue to increase as life expectancy continues to rise.
Bone is constantly changing—that is, old bone is removed and replaced by new bone. During childhood, more bone is produced than removed, so the skeleton grows in both size and strength. For most people, bone mass peaks during the third decade of life. By this age, men typically have accumulated more bone mass than women. After this point, the amount of bone in the skeleton typically begins to decline slowly as removal of old bone exceeds formation of new bone.
Men in their fifties do not experience the rapid loss of bone mass that women do in the years following menopause. By age 65 or 70, however, men and women are losing bone mass at the same rate, and the absorption of calcium, an essential nutrient for bone health throughout life, decreases in both sexes. Excessive bone loss causes bone to become fragile and more likely to fracture.
Fractures resulting from osteoporosis most commonly occur in the hip, spine, and wrist, and can be permanently disabling. Hip fractures are especially dangerous. Perhaps because such fractures tend to occur at older ages in men than in women, men who sustain hip fractures are more likely than women to die from complications.
There are two main types of osteoporosis: primary and secondary. In cases of primary osteoporosis, either the condition is caused by age-related bone loss (sometimes called senile osteoporosis) or the cause is unknown (idiopathic osteoporosis). The term idiopathic osteoporosis is typically used only for men younger than 70 years old; in older men, age-related bone loss is assumed to be the cause.
The majority of men with osteoporosis have at least one (sometimes more than one) secondary cause. In cases of secondary osteoporosis, the loss of bone mass is caused by certain lifestyle behaviors, diseases, or medications. The most common causes of secondary osteoporosis in men include exposure to glucocorticoid medications, hypogonadism (low levels of testosterone), alcohol abuse, smoking, gastrointestinal disease, hypercalciuria, and immobilization.
Glucocorticoid medications: Glucocorticoids are steroid medications used to treat diseases such as asthma and rheumatoid arthritis. Bone loss is a very common side effect of these medications. The bone loss these medications cause may be due to their direct effect on bone, muscle weakness or immobility, reduced intestinal absorption of calcium, a decrease in testosterone levels, or, most likely, a combination of these factors.
When glucocorticoid medications are used on an ongoing basis, bone mass often decreases quickly and continuously, with most of the bone loss in the ribs and vertebrae. Therefore, people taking these medications should talk to their doctor about having a bone mineral density (BMD) test. Men should also be tested to monitor testosterone levels, as glucocorticoids often reduce testosterone in the blood.
A treatment plan to minimize loss of bone during long-term glucocorticoid therapy may include using the minimal effective dose, and discontinuing the drug or administering it through the skin, if possible. Adequate calcium and vitamin D intake is important, as these nutrients help reduce the impact of glucocorticoids on the bones. Other possible treatments include testosterone replacement and osteoporosis medication.
Hypogonadism: Hypogonadism refers to abnormally low levels of sex hormones. It is well known that loss of estrogen causes osteoporosis in women. In men, reduced levels of sex hormones may also cause osteoporosis.
Although it is natural for testosterone levels to decrease with age, there should not be a sudden drop in this hormone that is comparable to the drop in estrogen experienced by women at menopause. However, medications such as glucocorticoids (discussed above), cancer treatments (especially for prostate cancer), and many other factors can affect testosterone levels. Testosterone replacement therapy may be helpful in preventing or slowing bone loss. Its success depends on factors such as age and how long testosterone levels have been reduced. Also, it is not yet clear how long any beneficial effect of testosterone replacement will last. Therefore, doctors usually treat the osteoporosis directly, using medications approved for this purpose.
Research suggests that estrogen deficiency may also be a cause of osteoporosis in men. For example, estrogen levels are low in men with hypogonadism and may play a part in bone loss. Osteoporosis has been found in some men who have rare disorders involving estrogen. Therefore, the role of estrogen in men is under active investigation.
Alcohol abuse: There is a wealth of evidence that alcohol abuse may decrease bone density and lead to an increase in fractures. Low bone mass is common in men who seek medical help for alcohol abuse.
In cases where bone loss is linked to alcohol abuse, the first goal of treatment is to help the patient stop, or at least reduce, his consumption of alcohol. More research is needed to determine whether bone lost to alcohol abuse will rebuild once drinking stops, or even whether further damage will be prevented. It is clear, though, that alcohol abuse causes many other health and social problems, so quitting is ideal. A treatment plan may also include a balanced diet with lots of calcium- and vitamin D-rich foods, a program of physical exercise, and smoking cessation.
Smoking: Bone loss is more rapid, and rates of hip and vertebral fracture are higher, among men who smoke, although more research is needed to determine exactly how smoking damages bone. Tobacco, nicotine, and other chemicals found in cigarettes may be directly toxic to bone, or they may inhibit absorption of calcium and other nutrients needed for bone health. Quitting is the ideal approach, as smoking is harmful in so many ways. As with alcohol, it is not known whether quitting smoking leads to reduced rates of bone loss or to a gain in bone mass.
Gastrointestinal disorders: Several nutrients, including amino acids, calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, and vitamins D and K, are important for bone health. Diseases of the stomach and intestines can lead to bone disease when they impair absorption of these nutrients. In such cases, treatment for bone loss may include taking supplements to replenish these nutrients.
Hypercalciuria: Hypercalciuria is a disorder that causes too much calcium to be lost through the urine, which makes the calcium unavailable for building bone. Patients with hypercalciuria should talk to their doctor about having a BMD test and, if bone density is low, discuss treatment options.
Immobilization: Weight-bearing exercise is essential for maintaining healthy bones. Without it, bone density may decline rapidly. Prolonged bed rest (following fractures, surgery, spinal cord injuries, or illness) or immobilization of some part of the body often results in significant bone loss. It is crucial to resume weight-bearing exercise (such as walking, jogging, dancing, and lifting weights) as soon as possible after a period of prolonged bed rest. If this is not possible, you should work with your doctor to minimize other risk factors for osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis can be effectively treated if it is detected before significant bone loss has occurred. A medical workup to diagnose osteoporosis will include a complete medical history, x-rays, and urine and blood tests. The doctor may also order a bone mineral density test. This test can identify osteoporosis, determine your risk for fractures (broken bones), and measure your response to osteoporosis treatment. The most widely recognized BMD test is called a central dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, or central DXA test. It is painless a bit like having an x-ray, but with much less exposure to radiation. It can measure bone density at your hip and spine.
It is increasingly common for women to be diagnosed with osteoporosis or low bone mass using a BMD test, often at midlife when doctors begin to watch for signs of bone loss. In men, however, the diagnosis is often not made until a fracture occurs or a man complains of back pain and sees his doctor. This makes it especially important for men to inform their doctors about risk factors for developing osteoporosis, loss of height or change in posture, a fracture, or sudden back pain.
Several risk factors have been linked to osteoporosis in men:
Once a man has been diagnosed with osteoporosis, his doctor may prescribe one of the medications approved by the FDA for this disease. The treatment plan will also likely include the nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle guidelines for preventing bone loss listed at the end of this fact sheet.
If bone loss is due to glucocorticoid use, the doctor may prescribe a medication approved to prevent or treat glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis, monitor bone density and testosterone levels, and suggest using the minimum effective dose of glucocorticoid.
Other possible prevention or treatment approaches include calcium and/or vitamin D supplements and regular physical activity.
If osteoporosis is the result of another condition (such as testosterone deficiency) or exposure to certain other medications, the doctor may design a treatment plan to address the underlying cause.
There have been fewer research studies on osteoporosis in men than in women. However, experts agree that all people should take the following steps to preserve their bone health:

Throughline Theatre Company Brings Inventive Staging to AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY, Now thru 7/28
The Weston family has slowly and efficiently torn itself apart through decades of abandonment, misunderstanding, and narcissism; but are unceremoniously thrown together again following the disappearance of their reluctant patriarch. Throughline Theatre Company presents August: Osage County tonight, July 20th at the Grey Box Theatre on Butler St. in Lawrenceville.
August: Osage County has received as many awards and accolades as a new play could hope to, but has also resonated with audiences everywhere. The darkly comic family tragedy created by Tracy Letts has been compared to the best works by Eugene O'Neill and Arthur Miller, yet with characters as distinctive and fresh as any contemporary American play can boast. The upcoming production by Throughline Theatre Company features a creative and intimate new staging of this modern classic, which has more commonly appeared in larger venues.
August: Osage County is the second production in Throughline Theatre's third season, which will be the Company's first season in their new venue. The Grey Box Theatre is located in Butler St. in the heart of Lawrenceville's up and coming business district. In its previous two seasons, Throughline Theatre Company has received recognition from audiences, newspapers, libraries, schools and the Pittsburgh City Council for their efforts and achievements bringing high-quality, affordable Theatre to the region.
Throughline Theatre Company's four-show season focuses on the relationship between past, present, and future by presenting plays from varied time periods and arranging them to highlight their thematic and stylistic similarities.
August: Osage County will open tonight, July 20th at 8PM and will be performed Saturday July 21st at 1PM and 5:30PM, July 26th and 27th at 8PM, and July 28th at 1pm and 5:30PM. Tickets are $15 for Adults, $10 for Students and seniors, though this play is not suitable for all audiences; Parental Discretion is advised. Tickets are available at the door or in advance online through Throughline.Showclix.com.

Some 150 marijuana plants, worth an estimated $450,000, were confiscated during an eviction at 8 a.m. Thursday in the 300 block of Pepper Drive in Vallejo, according to the Solano County Sheriff's Department.
Deputies went to the residence to conduct an eviction and when they arrived got suspicious while talking to two men and an a woman at the residence.
After getting additional personnel, deputies searched the house and found a large sophisticated marijuana grow operation inside, according tot he Sheriff's Office announcement.
Detectives from the Solano County California Multi-Jurisdictional Methamphetamine Enforcement Team, (CAL-MMET), were in and took over the investigation into the alleged illegal marijuana operation.
Besides the plants in various stages of growth, detectives also found approximately one pound of processed marijuana with an estimated value of $3,000. They also found a shotgun and .22 caliber pistol which had had its serial numbers altered or removed.
It appeared the entire house was set up for growing marijuana with only a small space remaining for living quarters.
Deputies eventually arrested Nhat Luong, 40, of Vallejo and booked him into Solano County Jail for cultivation of marijuana, being armed while possessing narcotics, and possession of a firearm with an altered serial numbers, all felonies.
Of the others at the house, one was found to be the resident and the other two visitors and they were all released.

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
One of the advantages of using Windows Azure to run your code is that you don't have to constantly manage upgrades on your platform. While that's a big advantage indeed, it immediately brings up the question - how do the upgrades happen? Microsoft upgrades the Azure platform in periodic increments, and the components that are affected are documented.
This brings up another question - upgrades mean change, and change can sometimes alter the way you might implement a feature. What if you have taken a dependency on some feature in your code that has been altered by an upgrade? Windows Azure does have an Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Process, which I'll reference at the end of this post. But beyond that, there are some features we've put into place that will help you manage many of these changes. One of those is being able to set the version of storage features you would like your code to use.
Windows Azure is made up of three main component areas: Computing, Storage and a group of features called the Application Fabric. You can use these components together or separately, depending on what you would like your application to do. In this post I'll deal with the version control in the storage subsystem - in other posts I'll explain how to track and in some cases control the versions of the other components you work with.
When you send a request to a Windows Azure resource, you're actually using a REST call. That's a three-part call to the system that has a request (called a URI), a header, and a body of code you want to send. So a typical call, such as to a table, might look like this example, which changes the properties of a Blob:
URI: PUT http://myaccount.table.core.windows.net/?restype=service&comp=properties HTTP/1.1
Header: x-ms-version: 2011-08-18 x-ms-date: Tue, 30 Aug 2011 04:28:19 GMT Authorization: SharedKey myaccount:Z1lTLDwtq5o1UYQluucdsXk6/iB7YxEu0m6VofAEkUE= Host: myaccount.table.core.windows.net
Body: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <StorageServiceProperties> <Logging> <Version>1.0</Version> <Delete>true</Delete> <Read>false</Read> <Write>true</Write> <RetentionPolicy> <Enabled>true</Enabled> <Days>7</Days> </RetentionPolicy> </Logging> <Metrics> <Version>1.0</Version> <Enabled>true</Enabled> <IncludeAPIs>false</IncludeAPIs> <RetentionPolicy> <Enabled>true</Enabled> <Days>7</Days> </RetentionPolicy> </Metrics> </StorageServiceProperties>
(Source of this code)
You can see that I've highlighted a portion of the header block - that's where you set the version of the Storage Services you would like to use. You can find a list of the features introduced in each version here. It's not a requirement of adding that element to the header, but it's best practices to do so.
You don't have to use REST calls directly, however. It's more common to use the API in the Software Development Kit to just change the property in your IDE environment - the setting you're looking for there is the Set Storage Service Properties call.
Interestingly, rather than a breaking change you might run into an unexpected behavior if you are not aware of these parameters. In some code I recently reviewed a newer feature from the storage system failed when it was called. On inspection I found that the developer had used an older codeblock from a previous version of the storage system - he was not aware you can set the version of storage in the call. We changed the header to the latest version, and everything worked as expected.

MANHATTAN, Kan. – Kansas farmers took a one-two punch with drought and lower grain prices in 2013 and the result was a drop in average net income to its lowest level since 2009, according to data from the Kansas Farm Management Association's annual PROFITLINK Analysis.
Net income across 1,194 KFMA-member farms averaged $135,429 in 2013, down from $159,352 in 2012 and $166,375 in 2011. The figure is also below the five-year average of $145,096.
The biggest drop was primarily in western Kansas, which experienced the worst of the state's drought conditions, said Gregg Ibendahl, Kansas State University associate professor of agricultural economics. However, the major grain-producing areas of the country did not experience drought and as a result U.S. grain production was good and this pushed down prices.
Not all Kansas farmers are members of the KFMA, but the annual report provides a glimpse of financial conditions for producers across the state, especially when comparing one year to the next.
The data showed that about 23 percent of the farms had net income of $200,000 or higher, while 42 percent had income of $50,000 to $200,000. Twenty-nine percent had net farm income of $0 to $50,000 and almost 14 percent operated at a loss.
"A big chunk of our farms are making $0 to $55,000 a year. Most people are not getting rich," Ibendahl said. "Even in the best years, the majority of farms make under $100,000."
A tale of six regions
"Northwest Kansas fared the worst, partly because of the drought, but also because grain prices went down so much," Ibendahl said. "All of a sudden the value of the grain inventory was down. Because the study considers net income on an accrual basis, the lower inventory was reflected in lower farm income."
The average price of U.S. corn in 2013 was $4.50 a bushel, down from $6.89 in 2012, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The average price of soybeans last year was $12.70 per bushel, down from $14.40 a bushel in 2012.
Net farm income numbers varied widely by regions across the state, with northwest Kansas averaging $35,791, southwest at $71,633 and southeast at $161,776. Income in north central Kansas averaged $136,045; south central at $151,303; and northeast at $154,867.
Dryland net farm income across 855 farms was $156,991, down from $169,061 a year earlier and about the same as $157,296 two years earlier.
Net income for the 59 farms that irrigate crops averaged $118,974, well below $347,315 in 2012 and $449,115 in 2011.
Yields on irrigated farms typically don't vary that much, Ibendahl said, so last year's lower grain prices and inventory values weighed them down.
"That will be a factor in this coming year," he added. "With crops in some of the bigger producing states — Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio – we're on track to have pretty good U.S. production next year. We were looking at pretty good grain prices for a few years but will probably be lower next year."
Livestock a bright spot
Last year's lower grain prices meant trouble for grain growers, but gave livestock producers a boost.
"Anything to do with livestock did pretty well, compared with the year before," Ibendahl said, noting higher meat prices and lower grain prices. "Those in the cattle background feeding and finishing went way up. They had a really good year."
The 2013 average net income for backgrounding-finishing operations was $162,459, well above $46,193 a year earlier, but below $397,138 two years earlier.
Net income for farms in the "Crop – Sow & Litter" category averaged $206,724, up from $166,809.
Overall, the report showed the average value of livestock produced in 2013 at $92,241, compared with $88,507 a year earlier and $106,280 two years earlier.
Family living expenses
Total family living expenses rose to an average of $71,377, up from $70,242 in 2012. Family living expenses have increased every year since the 2009 average of $54,981.
"If you look at our family living expenses and the fact that they were higher, even though net income fell, there's a two- to three-year lag before families are able to make the adjustment after income has been up," Ibendahl said. "When you have money, you'll tend to spend more of it. With the potential for lower grain prices this coming year, farm families will need to monitor their family living to avoid eating into their net worth."

Christmas fun is being kicked off in true "Friendly City" spirit on Dec. 1 and Dec. 15., with the annual "Kids Free Holiday Movies."
The event will take place at the historic Fortuna Theatre on Main Street, where the staff works feverishly to create the hundreds of popcorn and drink treats provided with the free movie ticket.
Tickets for the event will be in more than 100 Fortuna businesses starting on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. Tickets are available to children under 12, who must be accompanied by an adult for the showing of two popular movies.
On Dec. 1, the children will be treated to "Grinch," and Dec. 15 will be a special viewing of "Puss in Boots."
The event is hosted by the city of Fortuna, Fortuna Business Improvement District, and the Fortuna business community. The city waives the rent of the FBID office at the Fortuna Monday Club to provide the overhead needed to rent the theater and movies for the two weekend event each year.
Coupled with the support of the Fortuna businesses and local sponsors, the event provides the opportunity for many children to attend a theater movie with their loved ones and friends -- something that may not be possible families in these tough economic times.
Dianna Crow, Fortuna Business Improvement District coordinator, credits the community for making this event come alive for the children.
"This would not be possible without the many businesses and residents who go beyond the call of duty to put on this annual event along with the City of Fortuna and FBID," she said.
For more information, or to see how you can help with the 2012 Fortuna Kids' Free Holiday Movies, contact Dianna Crow at 725-9261 or www.FortunaBusiness.com.

Mastroianni makes first start, bats leadoff
KANSAS CITY -- Darin Mastroianni sat at his locker Tuesday afternoon and talked about feeling a tinge of excitement. His name was posted in the Twins' starting lineup for the first time this season, and Mastroianni was ready to go full steam ahead.
"I'm ready to play the way I want to play out there, which is fast and running all over the place," said Mastroianni, who started in center field and batted leadoff.
Mastroianni has been recovering from a bruised left ankle, which happened on a foul tip in a Spring Training game back on March 25. Aaron Hicks was thrust into a bench role after starting the first seven games in center.
"It's not going to be 100 percent for awhile, but that doesn't mean I can't play full speed," Mastroianni said. "[The ankle] will be sore after the game and between innings, but it won't affect me on the basepaths or in the outfield."
Before making the Tuesday start, Mastroianni had appeared in five games this season, all coming as a defensive replacement.
"Just getting him in the game and letting him get some at-bats is really important," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "We'll give Hicks a little blow. He has fouled about 18 balls off his foot. He was able to go out and get some extra work with Bruno [hitting coach Tom Brunansky], so it works out a couple of different ways."
Gardenhire said he wasn't worried about Mastroianni showing rustiness at the plate.
"He's chomping at the bit," Gardenhire said. "He has a short, quick swing and he's a speed guy. He should be just fine."

PISCATAWAY, N.J. - Monique Oliver scored 13 points and Rutgers held No. 21 Miami to its worst shooting performance of the season, beating the Hurricane's 42-34 Sunday in a nonconference game.
Oliver made 6 of 9 shots and Chelsey Lee grabbed a game-high 11 rebounds for the Scarlet Knights, who held Miami to 19.1 percent (9 of 47) from the field.
Rutgers (7-3) shot 27.3 percent (6 of 22) in the first half while Miami (7-2) hit just 4 of 22 shots during the frame as the Scarlet Knights entered intermission with a 16-15 advantage. It was the lowest first-half point total for both teams this season.
Rutgers scored the first six points of the second half to take a 22-15 lead, and would not lead by less than eight the rest of the way.
The Scarlet Knights have held their last four opponents to a combined 27.5 percent (55 of 200) shooting.

TULARE, Calif. -- A number of states came to World Ag Expo this week to lure dairy farmers away from California, but only one brought a governor.
South Dakota Gov. Dennis Daugaard visited for the second year in a row, touting the state's dairy-processing facilities, lower feed cost, higher milk prices, and no state income tax.
"We've got lower feed costs than California, higher milk prices – on average, about $3 a hundredweight, sometimes as much as $4 a hundredweight better," he told Dairy Herd Management. "And, of course, the tax environment is very good. We have no personal income tax, no corporate income tax."
"The dairy-processing facilities that we have in South Dakota are expanding or being joined by new dairy-processing facilities," he said.
For example, Bell Brands USA is constructing a new cheese plant near Brookings, S.D., that is expected to be up to full production sometime in 2014. The $100 million facility will employ 365 to 400 people.
Last year's trip to World Ag Expo helped Gov. Daugaard make the acquaintance of a prominent California dairyman who will be opening a 3,500-head dairy near Brookings, S.D., this spring.
This year, he will visit other California dairymen who may be interested in moving to South Dakota.
Among the other states or regions represented at this year's World Ag Expo: Kansas, Iowa, North Dakota, Nevada, Illinois and Dalhart, Texas.

Jennifer Connelly: Lady in Red
At the MTV VMA's, Katy Perry vamped down the red carpet in totally dramatic, seriously glamorous inky black tresses. Swept to one side and falling in loose, Veronica Lake-esque waves over one eye, the so-dark-its-almost-navy shade popped against her alabaster skin and aqua eyes.

We hate to say it, but ombre has kind of jumped the shark. Right now, the sexiest new way to brighten up brunette locks is by weaving in tone-on-tone, golden-based highlights. Take cues from Nicole Richie's honey and amber-swirled, sun-drenched shade – at once show-stopping and natural-looking (thanks to a couple of inches of roots up top).

To make it even easier, all of the components are solder-free, except for the DC plug and battery pack — just plug, play, and learn. Not only does the book go over all of the Arduino's features, it also gives a good overview of basic electronics. After completing this kit, I found myself ready to take on all sorts of physical computing projects.

Quality bar tape
By gr2
from California
About Me Avid Cyclist
See all my reviews
I bought this bar tape because the one I was using before (SRAM cork tape) wore out too quickly. I've only have these for a week or so. Time will tell if they last longer. They were easy to install and have a nice grip to them. They feel a bit less forgiving than the cork tape, but not by that much.
Great Bar Tape
By Some guy on a Litespeed
from Michigan
I've used Lizard Skins on another bike, but didn't like the hefty price, so I decided to give this well reviewed tape a try. So far have been very pleased - equal cushion and grip to the higher priced option - easy to work with and the backing stayed tacky, even though I wrapped and unwrapped my bars several times (I was a little nutty trying to get the "look" just right) - as a plus- good color options - the orange looks great on the titanium bike
good type
By Schumi
from VA
it wasn't too hard to install, and it looks great. The cushioning is good but not outstanding, two layers of it will make for an excellent cushioning.
Nice touch to add to bike
By Happy Valley Rider
from State College, PA
The tape on my road bike was rather grungy. I decided to try this thicker tape when I replaced it in hopes that it may reduce the vibes from the road to my hands. After about 250 miles of riding I do feel the tape does help in this regard. Aside from the price the only real downside is I found the tape more difficult to wrap to my liking that would have been the case with thinner tape but this was not that big a deal.
Excellent handlebar tape!

pretty awesome tape
By tonya
from nyc
thick and buttery, i have a couple of antares saddles and the fizik tapes are perfect compliments; gorgeous to look at it, but still rugged enough to take a real beating. pretty tough grade. nicely padded and holding up well after taking a pounding...good quality tape, thumbs up
Awsome Tape
By Miker The Biker
from Ann Arbor, MI
This is slightly thicker, Microtex bar tape is great for riders who need a touch of hand comfort and a lot of grip. I love the layer of vibration-absorbing foam. Microtex looks and feels like real leather, plus, it's sweat resistant and doesn't get slippery.Installation process - "patience you must have my young padawan" sums it up, so this was quite daunting to line up the stitching and keeping it smooth. But as this fizik tape is strong (after me pulling at it to get it straight) as I had many goes at getting it right it stood up to some abuse. One thing that can be quite hard to achieve is the insertion of the end plug, because of the 3mm thickness of the tape which makes it more than a little awkward to achieve!
Quality I've come to expect
By ratherbeonbike
from Clive, Iowa
Replacing current Fi'zi:k tape. Love feel and vibrant look but most important comfort.
