Original paper
Migration to the sea of river spawning whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus L.) fry in the northern Baltic Sea

The migration of river spawning whitefish was studied in the Simojoki and Tornionjoki Rivers in spring 2005–2008 using a rotary smolt screw. In the Simojoki River, the study started well before the whitefish fry migrated, but it had to be stopped soon after the peak of migration. In the Tornionjoki River, the fry migration started before the screw was in place, but it was possible to follow the latter part of the migration. Dipnetting showed that whitefish larvae were present on the shores of both rivers soon after hatching, but the migrations did not start until after mid-June, when the fry were about 30 mm long. The migrations peaked in late June–early July and the number of fry decreased rapidly thereafter. In the Tornionjoki River, they were caught daily until early September, when the screw was removed. The growth of whitefish fry seemed to be similar in both rivers.

Every Wednesday for about the last month, Piper Down, my favorite local pub (this, in part, due to its close proximity to my domicile) , has been host to Geeks Who Drink, Utah's first regular pub quiz.
If you're not familiar with a pub quiz, we form up into a team of 6 players, and compete against a barful of know-it-alls for supremacy over all and a $50 gift card.
And it's a whole lot of fun.
Each night, GWD presents 8 rounds, each round with 8 questions on a given topic. The topics range from straightforward ones like... Actually, scratch that: there are no straight-forward ones. Nearly every round is some off-the-wall topic like "Minor Star Wars character, or STD medication?" or "name the movie based on these clips of Al Pacino screaming." Hats off to the mysterious quiz writers who come up with these crazy nonsense categories each week.
If you're in SLC, be sure to come to Geeks Who Drink and join in on the fun, though don't expect to win, as that's our team's purview. We took 1st the last two weeks and we don't plan on breaking our stride. That's right: I'm boasting. How unhumble of me.
If you're not in Utah, check out geekswhodrink.com to see if they're in your area as well!

LAKE ELSINORE -- Jules Bevins doesn't remember the details of the day he nearly died, but he remembers the fear. "It was scary," Bevins said. "I almost drowned."
Bevins' father, Oral "Doc" Bevins, said his son was playing at a friend's house that day more than a decade ago when he suddenly disappeared.
After a quick search, the friend's mom found Bevins at the bottom of their swimming pool and pulled him out. Doc Bevins said he doesn't know how long Jules, who was 6 or 7 at the time, was under water, but he had to be revived, and he spit up a bunch of water.
The younger Bevins recovered, but for years he was deathly afraid of water. Bevins overcame that fear, and he now swims with Elsinore's swim team.
Bevins said he learned to get back in the water as a high school freshman at Long Beach Jordan. The first day of P.E. class, the instructor told the class everybody would have to swim, which naturally brought out his anxiety.
Not knowing what to do, Bevins sought advice from his father, who told him to explain his situation to the teacher. The understanding instructor worked Bevins into the water slowly and taught him to swim.
"The teacher helped me with it," Jules said. "Before I was scared in the water, but he helped me."
Once he learned to swim, Bevins fell in love with the sport. In fact, his dad says he can't keep him out of the water.
"He's like a fish now," Doc Bevins said.
The near-drowning is not the only setback Bevins has had to overcome in life. The burly redhead is developmentally disabled, a fact that was discovered prior to, and that had nothing to do with the backyard pool incident at his friend's house, his father said.
Doc Bevins said his son's biggest weakness is comprehension.
"You can teach him a word and he'll know it, but in maybe an hour, he won't comprehend it," Doc Bevins said. "As far as learning, it's been real hard for him."
Despite his hurdles, Bevins got through his course work at Jordan, and went through the graduation ceremony with his classmates two years ago. But Bevins didn't get a diploma because he didn't pass the exit exam.
After the family moved to Elsinore last year, a social workertold Bevins he could go back to school to get his diploma, so heenrolled at Elsinore.
"You need a diploma to get a job," Bevins said. "I don't have one, so I have to go back to school to get it."
Though CIF rules prevent Bevins from swimming competitively, he helps the team by lugging equipment to the pool deck -- "My teacher told me I'm stronger, so I can move stuff around," he said -- and he swims laps during practices.
Elsinore coach Tim Hall arranged for Bevins to swim in a non-scoring race at the Tigers' first meet, and hopes to find more opportunities for him to compete as non-scorer.
Bevins enjoys being part of the team, he said, because he's made friends, he's helping them out, and he loves to swim. The team is just as happy to have him.
"He's a cool guy," sophomore Daniel Armijo said.
Fellow sophomore Chaz Zenteno concurred.
"He adds a lot of character to the team in the sense that he likes to come over and talk to us," Zenteno said. "He tries really hard, and he doesn't give up on anything. He's got the determination to do this sport."
And Bevins can hold his own in the pool. Assistant coach Rachelle Sentak says he is about as successful as other first-time swimmers. Plus, Sentak said, he has a great attitude.
"He's always smiling," Sentak said. "He's usually the first one here, and he gets right into the water. You tell him do four laps of this and four laps of that, and he gets in there and does it. Some kids, when you tell them what to do, they want to discuss it. But Jules just gets in and does it.
"Sometimes, he's a little lost, but not any more than other kids who are new to the team. They just have to get used to our program."
After everything else Bevins has overcome, that should be an easy adjustment.
Prep swimming preview
- Coach: Jamie Trembly, first season
- 2003 record: Boys: 3-1; Girls: 2-2
- Key swimmers: Vincent Tortora, Jr., freestyle; Joey Kirkpatrick, So., utlilty; Drew Trembly, So., utility; Ross Freeden, Jr., free; Josh Stone, Jr., free/ butterfly; Drew DeMattia, Sr., free; Gary Hill, Fr., fly; Aryanna Wettland, Jr., breaststroke; Rian Wise, Sr., utility; Justine Rogers, Fr., free/backstroke; Rose Tortora, Fr., free; Kristina Gonzalez, So., utility.
- Outlook: Chaparral's boys are coming off a ninth-place finish at the CIF-Southern Section meet last season, and Coach Trembly predicts improvement from both the boys and girls teams this year. She said the Pumas hope to get half their swimmers to the CIF-SS meet. Trembly has the team putting in the work needed to reach its goals, but the downside is that not everyone was willing to make the effort, so the team is a little thin. Chaparral started well, getting 12 CIF qualifying times in its first meet.
- Coach: Tim Hall, seventh season
- 2003 record: Boys: 4-5; Girls: 4-5
- Key swimmers: Anthony Hernandez, Sr., free; Olivia Pollard, Sr., breast; Kira Puig, Jr., back/fly; Kellie Delaney, Sr., individual medley; Claire Ronda, So., breast; Ashely Krisman, Fr., free.
- Outlook: After second-place finishes in the Sunbelt League from both the boys and girls last season, the Tigers could bring home the league titles this season. Their biggest competition likely will come from Hemet. Hernandez, Pollard and Delaney are attracting interest from colleges, and newcomer Krisman is a promising freestyler.
- Coach: Genevieve Barrow, eighth season
- 2003 record: Boys: 4-0; Girls: 1-3
- Key swimmers: Sean Boyle, Jr., free; Brendan Barrow, Sr., fly/free/relays; Ian Deans, Sr., IM/breast/free/relay; Buddy Olds, Sr., back/free; Wes Glockner, Jr., utility; Frankie Gotte, Jr., breast; Justin Keoppen, Jr., free; Scott Petrich, Jr., free/ Eric Starkweather, Jr., IM/breast; Cody Wilson, Jr., IM/breast; Eric Weaver, Jr., breast/IM/free; Michael Flanigan, Fr., utility; Matt Preciado, Fr., back/free/fly; Bridget Barrow, Jr., back/free/IM/relays; Brittany McGorty, Sr., fly/free/IM; Jennifer Huddy, Sr., fly/back/IM/free; Amanda Miller, Sr., breast; Lori Hogen, Sr., breast; Allison Reichert, Sr., back; Lisa Baldwin, Sr., back; Amanda Rubeor, Jr., free; Lauren Mitchell, Jr., free/fly/relays; Kaci Dudly, So., free/back/IM/breast; Chelsea Klinger, So., breast/back/fly/IM; Kirra Kylander, So., free.
- Outlook: Barrow believes she has her strongest teams ever on both the boys and girls sides. The boys won a CIF-SS title last year, but this team could be even better. Barrow said the boys are working hard and are excited about the season. "We're strong in all areas," Barrow said. "It's a big group, so our workouts are competitive." Barrow's goal for the girls is to send 10 or 12 swimmers to the CIF-SS meet, and she hopes they can match the boys championship from last season. "We're looking forward to challenging for our first (CIF-SS) title," Barrow said.
- Coach: Jennifer Mueller, eighth season
- 2003 record: Boys: 1-3; Girls 3-1
- Key swimmers: Jackson Hartman, Sr., free; Richard Noll, Jr., utility; Eric Mallinger, Fr. utility; Randi Riggs, Jr., utility; Nicole Mallinger, Jr., utility; Jenny Winger, Sr., relays; Christina Crouch, Sr. relays.
- Outlook: The Golden Bears boys graduated some key seniors off last year's squad, so Mueller is taking a wait-and-see approach to the team. Temecula's girls also lack experience, and Mueller said they need to put the pieces to the puzzle together. Even so, Mueller expects both teams to improve. "I'm looking forward to a good, strong season," Mueller said.
- Coach: Jason Kaiser, first season
- 2003 record: Boys: 2-3; Girls: 3-2
- Key swimmers: A.J. Mallari, Jr., IM/fly; Justine Coliflores, Sr., back/breast/IM; Natalie Tarr, Sr., fly/free/back; Danielle Libring, So., utility; Alesondra Peter, Sr., free/back.
- Outlook: The Titans don't return any swimmers on the boys side, so they will struggle there. On the positive side, the boys all have a great attitude and have fun during workouts, Kaiser said. The Titans girls should fare much better than the boys in terms of individual times, but they too lack depth, so they could struggle to win meets. "We'll have a good No.1 and 2 in races, but we don't have that 3 or 4 swimmer," Kaiser said. "That's where the points come." Peters, a transfer, is be a major addition to the team. She set school records in the 50 free and 100 free in her first meet.

THE 76ers are about to end their relationship with their longest-tenured player. Multiple reports have confirmed that Thaddeus Young will be dealt to the Timberwolves as part of a three-team deal that also includes the Cleveland Cavaliers.
According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, the Sixers would receive two players on expiring contracts, guard Alexey Shved and forward Luc Mbah a Moute and a top-10 protected first-round draft choice that is owned by Cleveland.
An NBA source told The Inquirer that it technically may be a two-team deal between the Cavs and Timberwolves and then a two-team trade between the Wolves and Sixers because there is a trade exception in the deal.
The value of the trade exception differs due to a team's salary cap in a two-team deal versus a three-team trade.
Kevin Love, who can opt out of his contract after this year, is being sent to Cleveland for this year's No. 1 overall pick Andrew Wiggins, last year's overall top choice Anthony Bennett and that first-round pick of Miami owned by Cleveland. (That is the pick that would be sent to the Sixers.) Minnesota also would receive a trade exception in the deal worth more than $4 million.
Due to an NBA rule, the deal between Cleveland and Minnesota can't be announced until Saturday at the earliest. A rookie (Wiggins) can't be traded until 30 days after signing his contract and Saturday is the first day.
Originally, rumours had the Sixers acquiring Bennett in the deal, but apparently that has changed.
"We have heard for weeks Young was going to Minnesota and at first the word was that Bennett would be headed to Philadelphia," an NBA executive who requested anonymity told The Inquirer. "Now it's apparently these two other players and the draft choice." The executive said it's hard figure the Sixers strategy in acquiring two more players on expiring contracts.
"They are getting rid of a lot of salary but have to eventually pay somebody," the executive said.
Shved is slated to earn $3.198 million this year while Mbah a Moute, is scheduled to earn $4.38 million.
Young will earn $9.1 million this year and has a player option for $9.7 million next year.
Mbah a Moute, a defensive specialist, averaged 3.5 points and 2.3 rebounds in 15.3 minutes while playing for Sacramento and the Timberwolves. He, like Sixers first-round pick Joel Embiid, is a native of Cameroon and the two have forged a close relationship. That could factor into the trade.
Shved averaged 4.0 points and 1.1 assists in 10.5 minutes.
Young, 26, averaged 17.9 points and 6.0 rebounds this past season.
During his seven seasons with the Sixers, Young averaged 13.7 points and 5.5 rebounds. He was the team's first round draft choice (No. 12 overall) in 2007 from Georgia Tech.
Originally published as Sixers trade Thaddeus Young to T-Wolves

Reader's Den
Reader's Den: The Consolations of the Forest, Week 2
The Consolations of the Forest is Sylvain Tesson's first title available in English and it won the Prix Médicis for nonfiction. But, he has written many other works on his travels around the world by bike and in Central Asia, including crossing the Himalayas on foot. He was born in Paris, France in 1972.
The title is translated by Linda Coverdale, an award winning translator of works by Marguerite Duras and Roland Barthes among others.
For the adventure taken in this book, Tesson chose a hermit life "because staying put brought [him] what [he] could no longer find on any journey" (p.2). Furthermore, "A hermit does not threaten human society, of which he is at most a living critique….He is physically inoffensive and is tolerated as if he belonged to an intermediate order, a caste halfway between barbarians and civilized people" (p. 124).
From June 3, Tesson writes about the way to see the world:
Addressing the young poet Franz Xaver Kappus, Rainer Maria Rilke writes in his letter of February 17, 1903: 'If your daily life seems poor, do not blame it, blame yourself that you are not poet enough to call forth its riches…' And here is the American naturalist and essayist John Burroughs, in The Art of Seeing Things: 'The tone in which we speak to the world is the one the world uses with us. Give your best and you will get the best in return.' We alone are responsible for the gloominess of our lives. The world is gray because of our blandness. Life seems pallid? Change your life, head for the cabins. In the depths of the woods, if life remains dreary and your surroundings unbearable, the verdict is in: you can't stand yourself! Make the necessary arrangements. (p. 178-179)
Tesson mentions desert monks and Robinson Crusoe among others as models for hermit life. Can you think of any other hermits in literature or otherwise?
What climate or location would you chose as place of retreat into hermit life?
If you don't have time to read the whole book, Tesson wrote a brief article with beautiful photos on the experience for the Guardian. Interestingly, many of the comments on the article questioned how he gets the money to do this sort of thing. The only reference (in English) I found was in Wikipedia claiming that he is funded by documentary filmmaking, lectures and book sales.
Next week we'll discuss how to give up your cellphone!

Kathryn Bigelow's Next to Follow Hunt & Death of Osama Bin Laden
by Ethan Anderton
May 6, 2011
Source: Variety, 24 Frames
Though it wouldn't be surprising if Hollywood was fast-tracking a project about Osama Bin Laden after the recent killing of the infamous terrorist, this project has been in the works for a little while. Back in December, we learned writer Mark Boal and director Kathryn Bigelow, the duo who delivered the Best Picture winning The Hurt Locker, were working to get a thriller off the ground that would revolve around certain military black ops. It turns out that the film was actually about the hunt for Bin Laden even before his sudden death last weekend. Now with his death making a logical ending, the script will be modified to include it.
Variety says the project, tentatively titled Kill Bin Laden, is still scheduled to go before cameras this summer, but Bigelow and Boal are waiting to see how the Arab world deals with the news of Bin Laden's death before making any further trips for location scouting. Another issue that might plague production is security while shooting. Either way, the film will now include the dramatic 40-minute firefight at Bin Laden's compound hideout in Pakistan where Bin Laden was found and shot to death on May 1st.
Apparently casting is in the works, but any real offers are being held until Boal is done with his final draft of the script with the new ending. However, 24 Frames has learned that Joel Edgerton (Animal Kingdom) will have a role in the film as part of an ensemble of male commandos. Apparently the actor even opted out of taking a role in Snow White and the Huntsman in order to do this film. With an actual conclusion, the film should be a little easier to swallow, and the timeliness of the story should make financiers very interested in backing the project for a summer start. To those who aren't in the know, this may seem like a way to capitalize on Bin Laden's death, but the project was already in the works after all. Thoughts?

Recently, my son asked me to buy him a sports drink after baseball practice with a sideways glance to see if I would bite. He followed with a flurried explanation about being sweaty after running around and some mumbling about electrolytes and his muscles.
He whined and pleaded after my predictable answer that 'water is the best drink for an athlete.' But his quest to get those kind of drinks is just like so many other kids. And, what health promotion research says is driven largely by the marketing and advertising kids are exposed to. It's an experience many parents know well:
- Sugary drinks are heavily marketed to kids along side the TV, movies and celebrities they love.
- Children exposed to this kind of marketing then nag their parents for unhealthy food and beverages.
- Parents who are nagged for junk food or drinks are more likely to give in and buy those unhealthy products. (Although not in this case!!)
It's amazing to me just how sneaky the marketing is, how persuasive it is and how often it operates on a subconscious level.
Most of us are probably familiar with sports drink sponsorship on TV – seeing football or hockey teams drinking from branded bottles and the branded ice chest being dumped over the winning coach which are such common images in the world of professional sports.
But the marketing has become much more sophisticated.
My son, who doesn't see any advertising on TV, watches YouTube clips of people doing awesome and extreme sports that are sponsored by one company. He doesn't even realize that it's advertising, but he definitely has a high opinion of that particular sports drink.
Another company has gigantic, branded monster trucks that tour around at community events. But that's not all, this company also sponsors race cars, surfing, skateboarding and mountain & BMX biking competitions and it has a long list of athletes that it supports – not to mention DJs and gamers (yes, that's videogames).
Visit the sponsored athletes' Facebook pages or Twitter accounts and you can see strong endorsements for those brands – in the clothes they wear, the images posted and even in their messages.
It's easy to see how carefully and thoroughly these companies are targeting teens with all things 'cool' in their world. Marketers know they can win over-the-shoulder markets on either side of their target. By targeting teens and young adults – they also gain a market share of tweens who want to seem cool and older as well as older guys that want to seem hip and younger.
It's one thing to have branded bumpf (t-shirts, ball caps and bumper stickers) for men beyond their twenties who want to hold on to their youth,but there are also toys. Marketing to kids is about building brand loyalty at a very early age and therefore creating life-long consumers. Go into any convenience store and you can see the power displays that reinforce all the other TV, on-line and social media marketing – it's a powerful mix.
With such strong and pervasive marketing, it's not surprising that teenagers are some of the biggest consumers of sugary drinks. The average Canadian teen consumes 1.2 kilos of sugar from drinks in just one month! This puts our children at direct risk for diabetes and other weight related chronic illnesses such as heart disease and cancer.
This is why I am so keen to be involved in the Stop Marketing to Kids Coalition that recently came together in Canada. Its vision is for a "Canada where children and parents make nutritious food choices in an environment free of influence from food and beverage marketing."
The coalition, which is made up of many health organizations and concerned individuals, is calling on the Canadian government to restrict food and beverage marketing to all children and youth under 16 years.
It may be surprising to some that the coalition has asked for a ban that extends to teenagers – but this is based on psychological research which shows that teens are susceptible to marketing because the part of their brain that controls judgement and self-restraint is not fully developed. Young children often can't even differentiate between advertising and programming!
Initially, the coalition was buoyed up when our new Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau directed the health minister to pursue this issue at the start of their mandate. However, the food and beverage industry has been lobbying the government to water down any potential legislation and pushing a voluntary approach – an approach that would see industry regulating themselves. We already know this is ineffective because industry has had a voluntary program since 2007, and yet the signatories continue to market their junk food and drinks to children.
So we'll keep up the good fight, armed with research and motivated by our care for kids' health and removing industry interference from parents' ability to do their job. We invite all of Jamie's Food Revolutionaries, in Canada and beyond, to join our cause!

Welcome to your daily Board Meeting. Each evening we'll update you on the day's hottest topics on the HornsNation forum.
1. Poll: Who are you most excited to see in the spring game: We are only a few days away from the completion of spring football. While the Orange-White game might not provide many surprises, it's the last chance for fans to see the Longhorns until possibly the home opener against Wyoming. So we wanted to know who you are most excited to see on Sunday. It's not surprising that David Ash is getting a lot of votes, but most fans might just want to hope he's going to put on a show of his improvements. But, second is beefy middle linebacker Steve Edmond. Maybe fans just can't wait to get a look at the 270-pounder.
Get in and vote or write in your own candidate.
2. Prevot???: SportsNation user areimherr submitted a question that had more than a little worry in it. Defensive end Torrodney Prevot has a litany of suitors and recently added a scholarship offer from USC. The Houston Alief Taylor prospect has an offer from Texas and is also getting interest from LSU and Texas A&M. LSU has always done well recruiting the Houston area, so the Tigers will certainly be a player for Prevot's services, but the biggest concerns could be how long Texas would wait for him if he puts off his decision. Texas only has a few 2013 spots left, so timing of Prevot's decision could be a big factor.
3. On the radio in LA this morning …: This thread came from a question asked of Sean Adams from a radio interview. "How good does the quarterback have to be in order for Texas to win 10 games next season?" That's really a loaded idea. Sean brings up a good point that many teams have won 10 games with a great running game, dominating defense and serviceable quarterback. Look at Wisconsin's Rose Bowl run two seasons ago when Scott Tolzien was the quarterback. The Badgers pounded opponents with running backs Montee Ball, James White and John Clay while Tolzien used play-action passes and smart play to pilot the position. Or look at either Alabama's recent national title teams.
Texas could have a great running game that features depth, power, speed and versatility. The Longhorns already has a dominant defense that could be better in 2012 with the addition of Brandon Moore and another season of familiarity with the scheme.
That leaves one remaining factor. If Joe Bergeron and Malcolm Brown stay healthy and Johnathan Gray is able to translate his game to the college level, can Texas just pound the rock, make the occasional play-action pass and do enough to win close games? It's a loaded question. Let's hear your thoughts.
Remember, the forum is always open. Stop by and add your thoughts to some of these threads or start your own and talk with the HornsNation staff.

SPANISH police are waiting to question one of the drivers of a train that derailed, killing at least 80 passengers, amid media reports it was travelling at twice the speed limit.
The driver, lightly injured, "would be questioned by police in hospital where he has been placed under surveillance", the High Court in Galicia said in a statement on Thursday.
The investigating magistrate in the case has not ordered his detention, the statement added.
"The judge has asked police to take his statement," in the presence of a lawyer, a court spokeswoman said. After that, he will have to give his account before the magistrate, she added.
A police source said they had originally expected to question him on Thursday.
Renfe, the state railway company, says it's too early to determine the cause of the tragedy.
But secretary of state for transport Rafael Catala has told radio station Cadena Ser that the early signs suggest the crash had been caused by the train going too fast.
According to several media reports, the train was going at twice the speed limit when it crashed near the northwestern city of Santiago de Compostela late on Wednesday.
Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, a native of the city, announced the launch of two probes into the accident and declared three days of national mourning.
A local government official in the Galicia region said there are 80 confirmed dead, making it the deadliest rail accident since 1944 when hundreds were killed in a train collision, also between Madrid and Galicia.
Regional health minister Rocio Mosquera says another 178 are injured, including 94 who remain in hospital - and warned that the death toll could rise.
The driver to be questioned was trapped in the cab after the accident, El Pais newspaper reported.
He had told railway officials by radio that the train had taken the bend at 190km/h, unidentified investigators told the newspaper.
The speed limit on that section of track is 80 kilometres an hour.
A security video taken at the moment of the accident shows the train negotiating a curve before a number of carriages come off the rails and drag the rest off with them.

In an average year, just a single donor's tissue might slip through infected with HIV or hepatitis, but U.S. donations could be made even safer with genetic testing for the viruses, say researchers.
Researchers from the American Red Cross and Puget Sound Blood Center/Northwest Tissue Center in Seattle examined infection data on tissue from 11,391 donors from five U.S. tissue banks. They found:
- The chance of a donor's infection is about 1 in 55,000 for HIV, 1 in 34,000 for hepatitis B, and 1 in 42,000 for hepatitis C, which translates into about one infected donor a year with any of the diseases.
- With genetic testing, the percent falls to 1 in 100,000 for hepatitis B, 1 in 173,000 for HIV, and 1 in 421,000 for hepatitis C.
- The estimated cost of genetic testing would be $9 million -- or $5 per donated sample.
In another test, the American Red Cross concludes that genetic testing of donated blood is already helping prevent transmission of about five HIV and 56 hepatitis C cases each year.
While the Food and Drug Administration does not legally require genetic testing, blood banks are using it routinely in cooperation with the federal agency. Meanwhile, some tissue banks have already started using the test.

Warm yourself with yarn spun from soft Afghan Hound fur….and warm the heart of once unwanted Afghan Hounds through your support.
"Pen and Ink Drawing by Kirk Kroll. May not be reproduced without the written
permission of Kirk Kroll, Ruth Weddle, Our Afghan, and Weddle Publications."
A Very Special Thank You
The AHCA's Afghan Hound Yarn for Rescue Project and the Afghan Hound Community expresses our deepest appreciation and gratitude to Joslyn Seefeldt, a professional spinner and Samoyed Rescuer for generously giving of her time and talents to insure that our Yarn Project is successful. Without Joslyn's inspiration, consultation, and guidance the Yarn Project would have never gotten off the ground. Thank you, Joslyn, for your generosity and kindness.
Our "Yarn for Rescue" project is a fund-raiser for the Afghan Hound Club of America, Inc.'s Rescue Program, which provides financial assistance for the veterinary expenses of rescued Afghan Hounds throughout the country. The yarn is made from the fur of Afghan Hounds, donated by some of the country's top show dogs, international champions, "up and coming" stars, and pets who know the luxury of a loving home. Donations of fur also come from the now healthy coats of Afghan Hounds adopted through rescue programs.
So often, abandoned, neglected, lost, and unwanted Afghan Hounds must be shaved to the skin by rescuers because of matted coats. Their ability to now donate fur to our project symbolizes an end to their former lifestyle…and a new beginning for other Afghan Hounds down on their luck.

What is Afghan Hound Yarn?
The fur from show dogs, pets, and rescued Afghan Hounds is woven together to create a luxuriously soft and exotic yarn in the beautiful natural colors of the Afghan Hound. Our first yarn available for sale is "Tazi Heather", a blend of the black, blue, and silver Afghan Hound fur donated, mixed with a gray and black marbled wool. The blend with sheep's wool gives the yarn body and "bounce". Other "Tazi" colors will be available in the near future.
Interested in Donating Fur?
AHCA's Yarn for Rescue Project is an ongoing fund-raiser. Donations of fur, whether it is collected from brushes while grooming, or from clipped down coats, is always needed. The fur must be mat free (the carding brushes at the mill are similar to slicker brushes; if you are unable to separate a mat with your fingers and a brush, the carding brushes will not be able to either). Please separate your fur by colors.
Interested in Donating Your Talents? Knitted, Crocheted, or Woven Items Needed.
We will provide the fur if you will provide your talent. Items made from Afghan Hound fur will be sold, raffled, or auctioned as another means of raising money for rescued Afghan Hounds.
Please send all donations to:

How do I take care of my Af Yarn Items?
Af Yarn items should not be dry cleaned because dry cleaning is a harsh process that robs natural fibers of their luster nor do we recommend Woolite.
Many experts also recommend the following method for laundering wool.
We recommended laundering your Af Yarn items as follows:
- Using cold water and mild dog or human shampoo, soaking your Af Yarn items for approximately 15 minutes. Be sure NOT to wring or agitate your Af Yarn items as this encourages felting.
- Rinse your Af Yarn items by soaking them in fresh cold water until all the soap is removed. DO NOT run water directly on the Af Yarn item as this also encourages felting.
- Once the shampoo has been thoroughly removed from your items, soak your Af Yarn items in cold water and dog or human conditioner for approximately 15 minutes.
- Use a cream rinse as you did for the shampoo.
- Roll your Af Yarn items in a clean bath towel to remove excess water. Block the items to its original shape and dry flat at room temperature.
Your Afie Yarn items is ready to wear and enjoy.

Lobbying for Future Start-Up Companies
September 24, 2015
The goal is a 4 percent growth in annual GDP. While this may seem ambitious, lobbyists at Lincoln Labs suggest that the U.S. economy could be jumpstarted if three specific areas were targeted:
- Open the $6.2 trillion government sector to competition;
- Fix intellectual property laws;
- Eliminate outdated regulations.
Large, established companies are typically slow to innovate, while new businesses provide competition and push development. Unfortunately, too often the large corporations hold the most power in influencing policy and can keep competition low by creating barriers for start-ups.
- For example the U.S. corporate income tax, one of the highest in the international community, is at 35 percent.
- However, big businesses are able to afford lawyers and lobbyists who procure tax breaks and protect market shares while smaller firms, unable to hire expensive specialists, continue to pay at a 35 percent rate and are pushed out of the market.
To stimulate economic growth, changes need to be made to copyright policy to shorten term lengths, redefine fair use laws and restructure the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Similarly, the patent system needs to be reevaluated as there are currently 78,978 pages of regulations.
In order to reform the current system, which hinders economic growth, Lincoln Labs suggests:
- Allow public access to all non-sensitive government data in a computer readable format.
- Encourage competitive bidding for government contracts with low entry barriers to encourage innovative and cost-effective venders.
- Reduce federal government costs by implementing new technologies.
- Use outside consultants to reform government agency structures to streamline processes and limit duplicity.

The Legislatures LR 601 Special Committee announced the findings of their report on a study that focused on the need for a regional, accredited forensic crime lab. Committee Chairman, Omaha Senator Robert Hilkemann the study was to determine the needs for developing a lab and examine the feasibility of the state's involvement.
Senator Hilkemann says, "The question came in does the state have an obligation to be part of this. That came in late in the session and was approved. We met in early June and held hearings at UNMC. What UNMC is basically proposing and the Omaha Police Department is very much behind it as well as the city of Omaha, they want to have a completely independent of any law enforcement agency, a fully accredited and full service crime lab."
The committee bases its recommendation on the conclusion that building a lab at the UNMC campus meets the three primary ideals for a forensic crime lab – independence, full array of services in a single location and accreditation. It would also take advantage of the partnerships with the Nebraska Organ recovery System, the Lion's Eye Bank, the Douglas County Coroner's Office and other important services.
The committee also recognizes that putting UNMC and the state of Nebraska at the cutting edge of forensic training in the nation is among the advantages of having a state-of-the-art forensic lab. Senator Hilkemann says there is a real need for more forensic pathologists and this would help UNMC in their training process. UNMC is also reaching out to go to higher levels. This would be a wonderful program to work with and we could be a leader in forensic medicine down the line.
The report recommended that the Legislature encourage all interested parties to work out differences so that a regional forensic crime lab can be built at the UNMC campus.

It's time to summarize the second week of Me-Made-May. If you're interested, you can follow on Instagram or Flickr to see daily outfit posts for this month. It was rainy almost every day this week. Boo! Luckily, I still managed to take some pictures every day.
I'm going to start giving the details (when I can)–if anyone's interested–of every aspect of my outfit. Anyway, here 's a look at the last week!
Sunday 5/5
Dress: Self-drafted dress in a lacy knit with a neck tie and button front
Belt: thrifted
Shoes: I know you can't see them, but I wore a pair of little white slip-on shoes
Monday 5/6
Shirt: 40's floral blouse
Scarf: thrifted
Cardigan: thrifted
Jeans: Loft
Shoes: Modesta, from ModCloth
Tuesday 5/7
Shirt: Polka dot Renfrew
Jeans: Loft
Shoes: No idea. I've had them for a few years. I'm sure I got them on Clearance somewhere.
Umbrella: Sorry, don't know
OK. So, I was incredibly lazy with my outfits this week; I wore jeans too much. I think it had something to do with the weather. I suppose I need to make myself a pair of jeans, because I wore my jeans three times this week.
Wednesday 5/8
When I came home in the evening it was raining again, so you get another umbrella shot. 🙂
Dress: Swirl of Sunshine Dress
Belt: thrifted
Shoes: I know you can't see them, but I wore black flats
Necklace: from ModCloth
Thursday 5/9
Shirt: floral pintuck bib knit top
Cardigan: thrifted. I don't know if you can tell, but there are little orange flowers in the shirt's floral print, and they match the cardigan perfectly. 🙂
Jeans: Loft (These are really the only pair of non-house-and-yard-work jeans I have right now.)
I did do something interesting with my hair, at least. I french braided my hair the night before, meaning the ends of the braids looked bedraggled. So, I just rolled them up into little buns. Here are some crummy cell phone shots. Sorry, that's the best I have for ya.
Friday 5/10
Dress: Low-back knit dress
Belt: thrifted (I finally found a brown braided belt that fits without a long tail to tuck in :D)
Boots: I can't remember if I thrifted these or bought them on clearance somewhere. I've had them for several years, and I lurv them! They're so perfectly worn in now.
Saturday 5/11
Yesterday, Alex and I went to a movie and enjoyed some delicious BBQ.
Dress: Self-drafted low-back sundress
Belt: thrifted
Cardigan: thrifted
Shoes: same as 5/6
While we were out yesterday, I somehow managed to convinced my husband to stop at my favorite thrift store. He agreed, as long as I promised to run in and out at supersonic speed. When I'm short on time, I have one section that I make a beeline for, and I couldn't believe all the vintage fabrics they had this time.
I am so glad that I persuaded him to drop me off for a quick perusal. This thrift store doesn't always have fabric, but finds like this are the reason I continue check every few weeks. They had more, but I didn't have time to search through them all. So, I may have to go back there next week. 🙂
*Reminder: I'm giving away a couple dresses and a few patterns. Please see this post for details.*

Risk Analysis Makes No Sense … does it?
Take a look at this article.
You're back? What did you think of it?
OK, now look again, scroll down the section titled "Risk Management". It picks up on a number of themes I've discussed and has this interesting observation:
Prioritization of security efforts is a prudent step, naturally. The problem is that when risk management is done strictly by the numbers, it does deceptively little to actually understand, contain, and manage real-world problems. Instead, it introduces a dangerous fallacy: that structured inadequacy is almost as good as adequacy, and that underfunded security efforts plus risk management are about as good as properly funded security work.
Guess what? No dice:
The author goes on to illustrate a number of ways that the approach we as the InfoSec community have preached and practised makes no sense.

ATLANTA (AP) â A proposal to build a mosque and Muslim cemetery outside Atlanta has local residents so angry and fearful that their county commissioners have temporarily banned all building permit approvals for religious institutions.
The moratorium prompted the Council on American-Islamic Relations and the NAACP to request a federal civil rights investigation in Newton County. A spokesman for U.S. Attorney John Horn confirmed receipt of this complaint Tuesday, but declined comment.
As for Imam Mohammad Islam, the religious leader behind the proposal, he said he doesn't intend to take any legal action; instead, he met Tuesday with local leaders of other faiths in Newton County, seeking their support for a fresh start.

Creating MM fontsSubmitted by Matt D Woodman on 26 June 2014 - 9:17am
Hi all,
I'm working on a student project for an optically responsive typeface design to be used in Adobe Indesign CS6. A little over-ambitious for my first ever type design project admittedly but I have made good progress up until this point. I now, however, have hit a complete dead end and desperately need some advice from typographic aficionados.
So far from research I understand that;
OpenType does support a 'size' tag but that this tag is not relevant to any desktop publishing software.
Adobe InDesign features a 'Automatically Use Correct Optical Size' preference, left over from the advent of Adobe MM typefaces, that never really took off as a format. But, however, will still work.

The jumps season kicks into action this weekend with Cheltenham taking centre stage. There will be plenty of returning heroes and those hoping to become the stars of the future with 79 horses in total being declared. Couple that with an attractive looking cards at Punchestown and Aintree on Sunday and NH fans have quite the few days to look forward to!
We've gone through the cards and found five intriguing runners worth a follow at the weekend and through the rest of the season.ADRIEN DU PONT
Successful in three of his four starts last season for champion trainer Paul Nicholls, including a Grade 1 juvenile contest at Chepstow, the 4yo is still lightly raced and unexposed over hurdles. He certainly falls into the category of 'could be anything' especially when you consider his powerful connections.IDENTITY THIEF
A Grade 1 winning hurdler last season, he mixed it with the best of the best over 2 miles including when finishing 6th in the Champion Hurdle. Last seen finishing second to the mighty mare Vroum Vroum Mag at the Punchestown Festival, Henry De Bromhead's 6yo could be an exciting addition to the chase ranks this season and is already as short as RSA Chase or the 14/1 for the Arkle in March.SHANTOU VILLAGE
Pulled up in the Albert Bartlett when 7/2 favourite, Neil Mullholand's 6yo was last seen hacking up in a novice chase at Fontwell back in August. Saturday will be a good test of his credentials as a chaser with connections dreaming of a return to the track in March for either the RSA Chase or the JLT.
Missed it? Despite a final-fence blunder, Shantou Village impresses on chase debut at @FontwellPark: https://t.co/khGTD2sNTg— At The Races (@AtTheRaces) August 25, 2016
Highly rated by his trainer Dan Skelton, the 5yo is another who is still lightly raced and unexposed. A winner of two of his three starts last season, connections have confirmed he will have another campaign over hurdles before going chasing next season. Sunday could be the start of his progression through the handicap ranks and into graded company.GOD'S OWN
Tom George's 8yo finished last season in the form of his life, winning two Grade 1's in the form of the Melling Chase at Aintree and the Champion Chase at Punchestown (where he overcame Willie Mulins' aeroplane Vautour). Saturday could see him take on some old foes in Sire De Grugy and Vibrato Valtat at a venue he clearly enjoys. If he can show anywhere near the form he did towards the end of last summer, connections will be eyeing up more top level success this season.

The junior world badminton champion and world no.10, Saina Nehwal, feels that she is playing at her best at the moment and there is absolutely no pressure on her as she sets her sight high.
Saina, who has been signed by Herbalife, a health and nutrition product as a 'Brand Ambassador' here on Wednesday, said,"I am playing my best game now. Being world no. 10 does not add any pressure and I am enjoying every bit of it and hope to break into the top five."
Saina, however, said that while becoming a world no.1 was a big dream she has not set any time frame on that.
"At the level I am playing, there are a lot more experienced players and who are really good. It is going to be a tough act but I will keep doing my best."
Saina also discounted the possibility of training abroad. "Personally, I don't thing I can do that. I enjoy training here. At Gopichand's academy, I put seven to eight hours of training, which is not possible if I go abroad. We have all the facilities here and some of the best coaches in the world like Prakash Padukone, Vimal Kumar and of course my mentor Gopichand."
"I did have a bit of pressure when I won the Philippines open last season, following which there were a lot of expectations but I can now handle it. I do a lot of meditation and stay calm," she said.

Instructions: The following passage has 185 words. You are requested to read and comprehend this passage as fast as you can. You are further requested to answer the questions selecting the appropriate answer from the options given.
It is possible that you had subtle symptoms of diabetes for years and did not know that you had the disease. Weight loss, increased thirst, and fatigue may have been building up over a number of years. Because the disease has been present for a long time, you may have some complications at the time diagnosis is made. These might include hypertension (high blood pressure), heart disease, vascular disease (small blood vessel disease), or kidney disease. Your physician will treat these problems along with your diabetes. It is important to treat such complications as early as possible because a combination of high blood pressure, diabetes, and kidney disease is a triple threat to your health.
Many people, however, do not have any complications and can take actions recommended by their physicians concerning diet, exercise, medication in the form of pills instead of insulin injection, and good mental health. If you have non-insulin-dependent diabetes, it is possible that your diabetes may reverse itself and that your blood sugar levels may return to normal and stay that way, particularly if you maintain good diet and exercise habits.
Good diet, ideal weight, adequate exercise, adequate insulin availability, and a stable mental attitude are the keys to treatment for diabetes.
1.According to the passage which of the following is not a symptom of non-insulin-dependent diabetes?
a) Increased thirst b) Fatigue c) Yellow skin d) Weight loss
2. Which among the following is the same as 'subtle' in the passage?
a) not obvious b) clean c) direct d) complicated
3. Which of the following statements is false according to the passage?
a. A diabetic could have complications of hypertension
b. Unnoticed, a diabetic could have vascular disease and heart disease
c. The physician can treat diabetes along with the other complications of heart, kidneys etc.
d. A combination of high blood pressure, diabetes and kidney disease is a threat to your good health.
My favourite book
The book,'Autobiography of Nehru', is not a mere autobiography depicting the happenings of the writer's life. But it is record of two things, the writer's personality and the growth of India's freedom movement. The life of Nehru has made a great impression on me. It still makes me laugh when I remember the event that Panditji received beatings from his father for having stolen a fountain pen. Equally impressive is his language. The phrases such as "dying fire drove us " etc., are worth repeating and worth remembering. Though he does not attach much importance to his private life, his description of the illness of Kamala Nehru brought me to the verge of tears.
He expresses his growing old in a lucid language as follows:" I was partly bald and my hairs were grey, lines and furrows crossed my face and dark shadows surrounded my eyes". Nehru's strength of character is revealed throughout the book. He appears in it's pages as a penetrating thinker, a man of resolute determination, a lover of action and enterprise. Sentiments and weakness were not known to him. But he was a man of strong emotions, likes and dislikes. The Autobiography has won name and fame all over the world. It has proved to be the best seller and one of the most popular books. This book has placed Nehru among the greatest leaders of the world. His other two books are no comparison to the Autobiography.

Most people have heard about Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Many of us believe that PTSD is a condition that is only diagnosed in veterans that are coming back from wars. But does PTSD exist in other people as well? The short answer is yes. PTSD is a disorder that can affect nearly anyone who has a reaction to some sort of trauma that they experienced or witnessed at any point in their life.
Another reality that people don't talk about is the fact that some people who have been exposed to chronic, unsafe, or frightening situations over and over again may have a condition called Complex PTSD. Complex PTSD is different from PTSD in that the sufferer's cognitive and emotional regulation is disrupted by the trauma and the resulting disorder.
Complex PTSD is most often seen in cases of children who have grown up in households with verbal, emotional, physical, or sexual abuse. For example, an adult child of a toxic or narcissistic parent may be sensitive to bullying behavior due to their parents bullying and controlling them early in their life. This person may grow up to have nightmares or flashbacks of the abuse. They may be extremely emotional and sensitive of criticism from others. They may have trouble with learning and cognition due to the heightened state of stress that their brain was in while growing up. They may have ruminating thoughts that cause them to be on automatic throughout their day, so that they are forgetful and struggle to remember things that are said to them.

A Florida appellate court recently held that coverage for a loss caused by Chinese drywall was barred by pollution and latent defect exclusions, despite covering ensuing losses, because the insureds failed to prove that a covered peril was the efficient proximate cause of the loss. Peek v. Am. Integrity Ins. Co. of Fla., 2015 WL 5616294 (Fla. 2d DCA September 25, 2015).
The insureds made a claim under their all-risk homeowners' policy for damage to their home caused by Chinese drywall used in its construction. The insurer denied coverage for the loss based on the policy's exclusions for latent defects, corrosion, pollutants, and faulty, inadequate, or defective construction materials. The insureds sued the insurer for breach of contract, alleging that humidity was a concurrent cause contributing to the loss triggering coverage under the policy. At trial, the insureds established that they suffered a loss to their property within the policy period, but failed to present evidence regarding the cause of loss or any rebuttal evidence to prove any exceptions to the exclusions raised by the insurer. After the charge conference to finalize jury instructions based upon the concurrent cause doctrine, the insurer filed a renewed motion for directed verdict based upon the efficient proximate cause doctrine, which provides that, the finder of fact, usually the jury, determines which peril was the most substantial or responsible factor in the loss and if that peril is covered, then coverage is provided for the loss. The trial court granted the insurer's motion for directed verdict and entered final judgment in favor of the insurer. The insureds appealed.
On appeal, the insureds argued that the evidence established 1) that their loss was caused by both the Chinese drywall and humidity, 2) that humidity is covered under the policy as a "weather event" and 3) that the question of whether the Chinese drywall or humidity was the efficient proximate cause of the loss was a jury question. The appellate court disagreed, noting that the uncontroverted evidence demonstrated that humidity was not a peril that caused the insureds loss, let alone that it was the efficient proximate cause of their loss. It determined that there was no question for the jury to resolve and that the trial court did not err in entering a directed verdict for the insurer. In the alternative, the insureds argued that, even if the excluded peril of Chinese drywall was the efficient proximate cause of their loss, the insurer is still required to cover the ensuing loss to the property. The appellate court disagreed, holding that an excluded cause of loss – defective Chinese drywall – led directly to another set of exclusions – pollution and corrosion. The appellate court affirmed.

BANGKOK — Vigilantes hellbent on sabotaging elections in the Thai capital were partly successful in blockading and intimidating voters on Feb. 2. But in at least one corner of the city, a team of Bangkok aunties made sure democracy went down swinging.
It was one of the strangest elections in Thailand's history. After weeks of invading government ministries, barricading roads and threatening to abduct the prime minister, a self-proclaimed "people's coup" movement went for broke.
On the eve of a general election, protest mobs besieged polling stations — tactics that led to running gun battles near one Bangkok voting precinct.
But the uprising had met its match in a 50-year-old, bespectacled civil servant named Kinsakan Fongphokai. Distraught that polling stations were disrupted, she and dozens of other would-be voters marched over to a nearby police station to file grievances. Some scribbled away at forms angrily. Others simply moped about the station.
But Kinsakan was defiant. On her orders, middle-aged ladies emerged with folding tables and a stack of paper dug from a recycling bin. She dispatched another man to go fetch a makeshift ballot box.
He returned with a sad, crumpled cardboard receptacle with "ELECTION BOX" scribbled on the side in black marker. The crowd mistook the box for a goofy prop and burst into laughter.
But Kinsakan wasn't joking.
With election officials cowed by vigilantes, she had taken it upon herself to restore the democratic process — even if that meant collecting votes in a cruddy box in a parking lot.
"This is just a box we found. But now it's a ballot box," Kinsakan said. "These papers aren't for recycling anymore. They're our votes."
Within minutes, the crowd was chanting "lueak dtang" (elections) and filing into orderly queues to register and cast their ballots. The aunties had instantly assumed the gravitas of election officials.
"I realize this is abnormal," Kinsakan said. "But we have our rights. At this rate, with people losing their rights, we'll achieve nothing. If we don't vote, this country is finished."
The "people's coup" crusade managed to disrupt more than 10 percent of Thailand's polling stations nationwide.
Their ultimate goal: installing a non-elected council of handpicked, virtuous leaders to cleanse the nation of corruption and misrule. The protesters have declared the current ruling party, Pheu Thai, to be fraudulent and illegitimate despite its solid electoral victory in 2011.
More from GlobalPost: In Bangkok, voting demands nerves of steel
Led by 46-year-old Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, Thailand's first female premier, the party is roundly expected to win the bulk of votes from this beleaguered election.
The uprising's leadership insists the government is "tyrannical" and must be toppled and that elections must be halted until their utopian goals are achieved.
Bangkok has largely tolerated the "people's coup" movement so far — even as its street blockades have wounded the economy and kept top cabinet members on the run. The movement attracted up to 200,000 street protesters at its height though its numbers have since fallen dramatically.
But in Kinsakan's Bangkok district of Ratchathewi, where upper and lower classes live side by side, the election sabotage was for many a step too far.
By the time polls were closed, Kinsakan and her squad of aunties had collected 1,445 votes — most handwritten on the backs of hospital patient evaluation forms they'd managed to rummage up.
The scene was equal parts inspiring and depressing. The votes will certainly hold no weight with the election commission. Kinsakan is aware her election largely amounts to a symbolic venting of frustration but vows to submit her ballot boxes to officials nonetheless.
"I'm heartbroken," said Srijan Mitipol, an 86-year-old retiree who participated in the makeshift polls.
"In all my years, I've never seen anything like this. These awful people don't want us to vote," she said. "I would fear for my children's future if it weren't for the good people I see today."
Equally heartbroken was Jitsara Suanwong, an 18-year-old college student who'd arrived at the disrupted polls expecting to vote for the first time.
"This is painful for me. I've waited for this day since I started school," Jitsara said. "This isn't a country for big shots at the top. It's for people all over. It's my first vote and I got robbed right before my eyes."
The election sabotage campaign is hardly over. Poll disruptions will likely generate do-over elections that could become future flash points.
Though most polling stations in Thailand have operated as normal, the uprising's anti-government crusade has already led to beatings and shootings outside key voting precincts.
In one high-profile incident, a brawny massage parlor tycoon-turned-politician — a self-styled corruption fighter named Chuvit Kamolvisit previously profiled by GlobalPost — was jumped near a polling station. He managed to hold his own.
And on the eve of election day, an attempt to invade yet another polling station met resistance. Armor-clad men with assault rifles were caught on video waging gun battles in the streets.
"People who protest have their rights too," Kinsakan said. "But some actions are right and others are wrong. With Thailand split like this, we'll never progress ... but we believe the great majority of people want democracy."

If you are talking about those things being sold on TV that claim to detoxify you by magically pulling "bad stuff" out of your feet using magnets, you are wasting your time (and money).
There is quite simply no way for these devices to work as claimed. The only thing you could possibly found stuck to these pads after use is sweat, and whatever you happened to have on your feet prior to putting them on (I assume the instructions tell you to wash your feet before use).
The sweat glands under your skin are only capable of passing a single substance through to the outside of the body, and that's sweat. There are no other openings in the skin (at least nowhere near your feet) that could possibly pass any type of substance through them, let alone after being pulled on by a magnet.
I'm guessing that the only reason these products continue to be allowed for sale in the United States is because the FDA has its hands full with phony medical devices that can actually harm you. As far as I can tell, the worst that could happen to you after wearing these things overnight is a sudden loss of $9.95.

Tips on how a healthy sperm can be achieved
How is sperm quality determined?
There isn't any single test that can predict sperm quality, says Ari Baratz, a fertility specialist.The good news, though, is that you can have your sperm analyzed fairly quickly and easily.
The clinic will ask for a sperm sample from the male partner and analyze the quality of the sperm for four general characteristics: sperm concentration, motility (which refers to how rapidly the sperm is moving in the sample—specialists like to see 40 percent of the sperm moving forward), normal morphology (which refers to what percentage of the sperm are normal in shape—Baratz likes to see four percent of the sperm having normal oval heads and single tails) and ejaculate volume.
Typically, the sample is produced in a dedicated room in the clinic. The testing takes about two hours, and the results usually come in within a week.
What matters more: count or motility?
"Motility and morphology are probably the most important factors," says Robert Casper, a fertility specialist at Trio Fertility in Toronto. "The concentration or count isn't as important as long as it's above a certain minimum level." While there is no absolute minimum, fertility specialists generally like to see a concentration greater than 15 million per millilitre. It's important to remember that an individual can have a low sperm count but still have very mobile sperm. The quantity of the sperm cells in a sample only increases the chances of conception without any reproductive help, but what ultimately ensures conception is their motility and morphology.
If sperm quality is low, what are the next steps?
There are a number of options . Couples could consider trying a procedure called intrauterine insemination (IUI) , where a sperm sample is placed in the female reproductive tract via catheter in the clinic. In cases of very low sperm count (for example, samples with less than five million motile sperm), in vitro fertilization (IVF) with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is likely the most effective option, says Baratz. He also suggests consulting with a urologist to look for any reversible or genetic causes that could warrant further patient counselling. There is also the option of using donor sperm.
Is there a way to improve sperm quality?
Casper points to recent research that shows that coenzyme Q10, which increases energy production by mitochondria, could increase sperm motility and morphology. "Vitamins C and E have also been suggested to help improve the quality of sperm," he says. These vitamins are antioxidants and may prevent reactive oxygen damage to sperm.
There are certain things that you can do to avoid a decrease in sperm quality. "We believe that extreme heat exposure isn't good for sperm production, so males should avoid going in hot tubs or steam baths frequently or wearing tight clothing," says Baratz. "Sperm production really depends on the appropriate temperature for the testicles, so allowing the testicles to avoid being exposed to excessive heat is important. Certainly any type of exposure to toxins like cigarettes, drugs and chemotherapy can affect sperm quality and quantity."
