Managing the cost of hard yards in the yard
HRI gives its backing to an intriguing idea from trainers
Some years ago, a member of staff was perusing a trainer's accounts as a matter of interest. He fashioned a rough calculation after a few minutes and concluded that the boss was owed the guts of €70,000 from unpaid training fees.
When the recession hit, racing at grass-roots got a battering from which it has struggled to regain confidence. Syndicates went asunder, the building game was bust and prevailing despair rendered it almost acceptable in the minds of some owners to stop paying the monthly bill.
Trainers, predictably, fell away and were soon but a withered husk of memory. Big names - think Charlie Swan and Colm Murphy - were not immune.
Things evolve and trainers felt that they needed to too; as such, many slashed their charges, cut corners and attracted owners who probably should have known better. Memorably, the Racing Post had an advertisement from a trainer stating his fees were €500 a month, a small amount given the costs involved.
The reality is that the vast majority of those tackling a tough profession in Ireland barely survive. Many will insist that no trainer should be charging less than €1,200 a month but very many do in order to attract owners.
At Wednesday night's AGM of the Irish Racehorse Trainers Association, the box-office story was a unanimous agreement that Horse Racing Ireland will look after the administration of training fees. This will discourage owners who are failing to pay - the notion is that HRI would bar them from having runners.
If an owner had a horse with Trainer A, brought him home for the summer having not fulfilled his billing obligations and later switched the steed to Trainer B, HRI can intervene and stop Trainer B from running the horse.
When asked about its position on the idea, HRI told this newspaper: "This issue is about the relationship between owners and trainers rather than debt management by HRI; it's an area we would like to support trainers with from a processing viewpoint.
"We have not received a formal request to put anything in place yet. We need to work on the process jointly and we need to see agreements between owners and trainers to facilitate this."
Philip Carberry, based in France, explains that a similar system is in operation there. "It is possible to transfer money from one France Galop account to another with a transfer slip that is each time signed by each account holder. I think it would help Irish trainers' liquidity as feed and bedding companies usually give the trainer a 30-day credit if any."
Some are sceptical. "I don't need my business conducted through HRI. If a trainer wishes to do it then fine but I don't want it mandatory," said Ger Lyons, adding they "were already swamped in paperwork."
According to trainer Johnny Levins, HRI taking charge would give not only trainers a greater protection - but staff too. Staff-related matters arose at the AGM as did an unexpected follow-on.
The Irish Stable Staff Assocation (ISSA) was belittled, some saying it had failed workers on the ground, many not even aware of its existence. Bernard Caldwell, its chief, has been accused of being in effective cahoots with trainers but he certainly was not that last week.
The ISSA and trainers are attempting to achieve pay agreements but the fact Caldwell heard nothing since the meeting was, he said, "a disgrace, an insult". The ISSA is poor at promoting the work it does and, according to Levins, who praised the ISSA, "never in the history of Irish racing has there being a better time to be an employee in a yard."
However, issues remain. Gordon Elliott had 27 runners at Navan yesterday - a whopper of a logistical challenge which put in bold print the indispensability of reliable foot soldiers. They tend to work unsociable hours and are often poorly educated; they need a formidable representative body.
Elliott's six-timer at Navan was sensational going at the conclusion of another hugely enjoyable weekend of racing. He has almost reached last year's tally of Irish winners already and those doubting his credentials as a potential champion this year are now, instead, doubting themselves.
Colin Tizzard, too, must be wondering is this all a dream. A former colleague in the British press told me that Tizzard "comes across a bit of a bumbling old man but is really smart."
Native River's powerful performance at Newbury means that the Dorset dairy farmer not only has the hot Gold Cup favourite in Thistlecrack but two other legitimate hopes in the Hennessy hero and Cue Card. There's no bumbling about Leopardstown CEO Pat Keogh, who was at the Japan Cup yesterday trying to promote Irish Champions Weekend. Earlier last week, he visited the Mark Bradstock yard as he wants to get Coneygree to the Lexus at Christmas.
Tizzard might expect a call from an '01' number soon.
Wayne Lordan was tactically superb and strong as 6/1 chance More Kudos won by a head at Dundalk.
"It's a joy to be working for such a man. He's come a long way in a short time."

Circus Maximus is a superb band with a large variety of influences such as 70's progressive rock, heavy metal and even death metal, all of which are melted to form a unique sound. This creates a mixture of great heavy riffs, consistent melodies with many modulations, and odd time signatures, a very characteristic detail of progressive music.
On February 6th, 2016, Norwegian prog metallers, Circus Maximus celebrated the release of their fourth studio album, 'Havoc' with a sold out show at the Rockefeller Club in Oslo, with a stunning live production that involved pyro, sparks (literally), and a massive light rig…
Norway's Circus Maximus integrate the new millennium's first wave of progressive heavy metal. Formed in 2000, Circus Maximus consist of experienced musicians Michael Eriksen (vocals, guitar), Mats Haugen (guitar), Espen Storø (keyboards), Glen Cato Møllen (bass), and Truls Haugen (drums), and the group's 2005 debut album, The 1st Chapter, drew comparisons to Dream Theater and Symphony X for its melodic and song-oriented material. it anything, the band actually walked a tightrope between prog metal and pwoer metal. In January of 2016, Circus Maximus released the single "The Weight" to the internet. It was followed in March by Havoc, their fourth album.
Circus Maximus is a Norwegian progressive metal quintet from Oslo. They employ the use of symphonic and power metal influences that feature synthesizers and occasional keyboards. As of 2012, they have released three albums, The 1st Chapter in 2005, Isolate in 2007 and Nine, in 2012.
For years, Tape Five has expanding global record sales and millions of Spotify streams, it´s albums frequently appear in the top 40 charts of the big international online-retailers. The brandnew album "Circus Maximus" is convincing with it´s irresistable pop mass appeal Martin Strathausen, ring leader and director of this melting pot, welcomes his top artists into his Circus tent or rather his studio arena. Swing, Electro-swing, Nujazz, Soul, R&B, HipHop, Disco, House and Balcan – under the pop roof of "Circus Maximus" there is enough space for sounds of the most diverse origins. On their fifth album Tape Five present themselves with pop and mass appeal as never before. Their fun songs also this time will get the party mob on the floor, without being superficial or trivial…
Five years after the release of their second effort ''Isolate'', Circus Maximus has finally come back with a new album underarm that's called ''Nine''.Last year Micheal Eriksen told us in an interview with PerfectProg that this album would have a total different sound… How will it be? There's just one way to know it How will it be? That's exactly what makes you wonder the first track ''Forging'', a mysterious intro that works as a curtain for the Nine's show.When the curtain falls the ''Architect of Fortune'' arrives with a sound that would be perfect to open fires on live shows. It start with the heavier sound (even with a short flirtation with Djent) of the band but subtly gives way to a really well done melodic sound, especially on the chorus, and a great second verse where I cannot avoid to remember the best time of Queensrÿche.
After their debut "The 1st Chapters" was met with a lot of positive criticism throughout the prog-metal world, Circus Maximus presented their sophomore effort, "Isolate". Circus Maximus seem to have perfected the melodic progressive metal style, with just the right mix of guitars, drums, bass, and keyboards. Add to that the outstanding vocal talent of Mr. Eriksen. The album "Isolate" is a concept album, described by the band as a journey through a man's mind, where the listener follows the central character's life story.

I feel like this should be like falling out of bed!
I have two desktops hardwired to an Actiontec router and two laptops wifi-connected. All machines are 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium except one laptop that is 64-bit Windows 7 Professional.
One of the two desktops is connected to an old HP LaserJet 3015 AIO (not to be confused with an equally old HP Business LaserJet 3015, which is an absolutely different kind of printer).
I cannot share folders or a printer amongst the four machines.

The computer that the printer is connected to has to have the drivers installed. Can you print using that computer? I don't know what you have tried or how you have set it up but try these guides. Also for the computer with the printer you will want to go into the router's setting and reserve an ipaddress for that computer. See your router's documentation on how to do that.

It's been a little while since I posted on the blog, and I am getting caught up with the photos I haven't posted yet so without further due, today I am sharing Natalia's senior portraits at the Alfond Inn!
Natalia is a natural in front of the camera, and had so many good suggestions for her photos. I love when my clients suggest ideas, and we are able to incorporate them; it makes the photo session so much more personal and tailored to them.
Natalia carefully curated her outfits and accessories to reflect her love for fashion, so we focused on capturing the beautiful outfits she put together, and most importantly her shining personality.
We chose The Alfond Inn because it is one of her favorite landmarks in the Winter Park area, and because she loves visiting and shopping around there. We also captured a couple of shots of her with her little sister Adriana and her family.
Natalia, I wish you the best at UCF and officially welcome you as a "Knight" 😉

text: We haven;t even been on our Christmas trip yet but last week we booked again for next July We've been toying with going during the 'warmer' weather as our last few trips have not been so good weather-wise & as the girls are getting older, wanted to stick to school hols as much as possible. Been keeping an eye on flight prices & couldn't believe how much more expensive it was - even indirect! Anyway, we quite often use DB's BA Hotline fares (for friends & family of BA staff) but they are generally not discounted at peak times. Asked DB to check on prices for us & he came back with a silly price - he checked & rechecked and I made the decision to book even though I couldn't get hold of DH to get his 'approval' So we're now going for 19 nights in July/Aug next year, just in time for the WWHP crowds Have already started the villa hunt (yay!) and will probably book HRH for a couple of nights (definitely one of the Universal hotels). We had really wanted to go back to the vill awe stayed in last year on Highlands Reserve http://www.floridagolfusa.com/ but it's already booked It was a fab location & walkable to Berry Town Center which made a pleasant change, so if anyone can recommend a similar villa it would be apperciated? Have already found 2 really nice villas (Sunset Lakes & Silver Creek) on the Dibb, after the saga of our Christmas villa I'm really wary of booking with somebody I don't "know". The villa is really important as I expect we will spend a lot of time there as opposed to the parks due to the heat. ... but I've never had 2 trips booked before & Im really excited

Obesity has primarily been addressed with interventions to promote weight loss and these have been largely unsuccessful. Primary prevention of obesity through support of weight maintenance may be a preferable strategy although to date this has not been the main focus of public health interventions. The aim of this study is to characterize who is not gaining weight during a 10 year period in Sweden.
Cross-sectional and longitudinal studies were conducted in adults aged 30, 40, 50 and 60 years during the Västerbotten Intervention Programme in Sweden. Height, weight, demographics and selected cardiovascular risk factors were collected on each participant. Prevalences of obesity were calculated for the 40, 50 and 60 year olds from the cross-sectional studies between 1990 and 2004. In the longitudinal study, 10-year non-gain (lost weight or maintained body weight within 3% of baseline weight) or weight gain (≥ 3%) was calculated for individuals aged 30, 40, or 50 years at baseline. A multivariate logistic regression model was built to predict weight non-gain.
There were 82,927 adults included in the cross-sectional studies which had an average annual participation rate of 63%. Prevalence of obesity [body mass index (BMI) in kg/m2 ≥ 30] increased from 9.4% in 1990 to 17.5% in 2004, and 60 year olds had the highest prevalence of obesity. 14,867 adults with a BMI of 18.5–29.9 at baseline participated in the longitudinal surveys which had a participation rate of 74%. 5242 adults (35.3%) were categorized as non-gainers. Older age, being female, classified as overweight by baseline BMI, later survey year, baseline diagnosis of diabetes, and lack of snuff use increased the chances of not gaining weight.
Educational efforts should be broadened to include those adults who are usually considered to be at low risk for weight gain – younger individuals, those of normal body weight, and those without health conditions (e.g. diabetes type 2) and cardiovascular risk factors – as these are the individuals who are least likely to maintain their body weight over a 10 year period. The importance of focusing obesity prevention efforts on such individuals has not been widely recognized.
Obesity is associated with the development of multiple chronic health conditions and a variety of psychological disorders [1]. In 2002, the Swedish Council on Technology Assessment in Health Care (SBU; Statens beredning för medicinsk utvärdering) estimated that the direct costs for obesity related diseases in Sweden were approximately 2% (approximately 3 billion SEK/year) of the total cost for medical care [2]. Not only is obesity a problem, but increments of increased weight above a normal body weight are also associated with increased risk of numerous health problems[3,4]. Because of these facts, a great deal of effort has been focused on interventions to address the obesity epidemic.
The World Health Organization has recommended prevention of weight gain and promotion of weight maintenance as the first two basic steps in the effective control of obesity [5], but most efforts address secondary and tertiary prevention. While many investigators and public health advocacy groups have tried to develop strategies to assist in weight reduction, fewer have considered how to provide support for weight maintenance [6]. Because public health and health care system efforts in secondary prevention (promotion of weight loss) have been largely unsuccessful, a closer look should be taken at factors related to maintenance of healthy weight as a way to prevent weight gain and obesity.
The prevalence of obesity is increasing rapidly in Sweden [7]. From a primary prevention perspective, shifting the focus from lowering a high risk weight to maintaining low risk weight may be a more effective response to the obesity epidemic. This is not a new concept, but rather a neglected one. Burke et al. have suggested that diabetes prevention (via prevention of weight gain) should target normal and overweight individuals as they make up the majority of incident diabetes cases [8]. The idea that the most benefit can be gained by modest changes among the majority has been applied in the setting of other chronic conditions such as physical inactivity[9,10] and prehypertension[11].
The observation was recently made within a longitudinal study of a Swedish population, that individuals with diabetes type 2 were the most likely to maintain a normal body mass index (BMI) over a ten-year interval [12]. Emmelin et al. found that some survey participants believed they received less attention and less health advice because of a lack of identifiable risk factors [13]. This suggests that the current approach of identifying individuals with a greater risk factor burden and placing the focus primarily on them may be missing those who might get the most benefit from weight maintenance counseling – those who are not yet obese and those without identified cardiovascular risk factors. This led us to explore the characteristics of those who maintain their body weight over time.
The aim of this study was to examine a free-living cohort of middle-aged adults in order to identify and characterize the factors that differentiate individuals who will maintain (or lose) body weight over a 10 year period, from those who will gain, in order to identify those who would benefit from being the target of obesity primary prevention strategies.
During the 1970s, Västerbotten County had Sweden's highest cardiovascular disease mortality in ages below 75. These epidemiological data gave rise to a long-term community intervention program, the Västerbotten Intervention Programme (VIP), to reduce major risk factors for cardiovascular disease and diabetes. VIP used both individual- and population-oriented approaches to risk factor reduction [14,15]. Between 1985 and 1991, regional health centers gradually joined the study. By 1990, a uniform protocol for data collection was being used in all participating health centers.
Initially, all citizens were invited to an educational health screening and counseling the year they become 30, 40, 50 and 60 years of age, thus creating annual, consecutive cross-sectional surveys. Because of funding limitations, the County Council discontinued surveys of 30 year olds after 1995, and therefore only 8874 30-year olds contributed data for the cross-sectional analyses from 1990–1995. For the longitudinal surveys, baseline ages were 30, 40 and 50 during 1990–1994 and 10 year follow-up occurred during 2000–2004. Each participant gave written informed consent prior to participation. District nurses conducted the health surveys that included standardized measurements. Weight was measured in light indoor clothing and recorded to the nearest 0.5 kg. Height was measured without shoes and recorded to the nearest centimeter [16]. Blood pressure measurements, fasting blood work and an oral glucose tolerance test were obtained according to standardized procedures [16,17]. Participants completed a questionnaire that included questions on age, education, civil status, use of tobacco products, physical activity, use of certain medications for certain diseases, hypertension, presence of known heart disease and diabetes, and family history of cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
The VIP interventions were designed with both individual interventions and community components [18]. Adults were targeted for screening (via the health survey) and this was accompanied by counseling when cardiovascular risk factors were identified. Because the VIP surveys were conducted in the primary health clinic, the participant's doctor was aware of identified risk factors. At the same time, public health messages about healthy diet and alcohol consumption, smoking, the benefits of physical activity, and healthy psychosocial conditions were being conveyed to the local community. There was a particular focus on reducing dietary saturated fat, as elevated cholesterol was the most prevalent cardiovascular risk factor in the population. The community components were low-budget and designed primarily to use existing community resources. The goal was reduction of CVD risk factors and ultimately CVD [19], and neither obesity prevention messages nor obesity treatments were included.
Participants were categorized according to baseline body mass index (BMI; kg/m2). The longitudinal analysis was restricted to those with a baseline BMI of 18.5 to 29.9; those who were underweight (BMI <18.5) or obese (BMI ≥ 30) were excluded (see Figure Figure1).1). The remaining participants were then categorized according to weight loss of >3.0%, weight maintenance +/- 3.0%, or weight gain of >3.0% of baseline weight [20]. They were further categorized as non-gainers (weight loss or weight maintenance) or gainers (weight gain).
Impaired glucose tolerance was defined as a fasting capillary plasma glucose of <7.0 mmol/L and a 2-hour capillary plasma glucose after a 75 g glucose load (oral glucose tolerance test) of ≥ 8.9 to <12.2 mmol/L and without a diagnosis of diabetes type 2 [21]. Diabetes mellitus type 2 was defined as self-report, fasting capillary plasma glucose of ≥7.0 mmol/L, or 2-hour capillary plasma glucose (oral glucose tolerance test) of ≥12.2 mmol/L [21]. Hypertension was defined as a mean blood pressure of ≥140/90 mmHg or self-reported use of a medication for hypertension. Hypercholesterolemia was defined as a fasting total cholesterol of ≥7.5 mmol/L. Participants were classified as smokers (yes/no) and snuff users (Swedish moist snuff (snus); yes/no) based on self-report. Family history of myocardial infarction or stroke before the age of 60 years, or family history of diabetes was reported in first degree relatives as "yes/no". A six-level variable was formed to allow comparison by age-sex group (e.g. 30-year old men, 40-year old men, 50-year old men, 30-year old women, etc.) and 30-year old men were used as the reference group.
Prevalences for obesity were calculated from the cross-sectional data and incidences were calculated from the longitudinal data. Chi-square tests were used to compare differences in binomial proportions. Two sample independent t-tests were used to compare continuous variables between groups.
Univariate logistic regression analyses identified significant baseline predictors of weight non-gain. A multivariate logistic regression model was built by adding predictors significant in the univariate analyses, one variable at a time. The model evaluated predictors of weight non-gain over 10 years; gainers vs. non-gainers was the dependent variable. All two-way and three-way interactions were tested. Goodness of fit for the final model was evaluated with Hosmer-Lemeshow test.
The Västerbotten County Council was responsible for maintaining a single database of all the collected data. The Research Ethics Committee at Umeå University approved the study, the National Computer Data Inspection Board approved the data handling procedures, and the study was carried out in compliance with the Helsinki Declaration.
Between 1985 and 1989, pilot surveys were conducted. Those participants are excluded from this analyses as they were not drawn from the entirety of Västerbotten County. Between 1990 and 2004, 92,366 people participated in the surveys and they are the basis of the cross-sectional survey results presented. See Figure Figure2.2. The annual survey response rates averaged 63%. In total, there were 91,801 adults aged 30 to 60 years, including 4361, 13,600, 14,519, and 11,556 men aged 30, 40, 50 and 60 yr, respectively, and 4513, 14,706, 15,617, and 12,929 women aged 30, 40, 50 and 60 yr, respectively. There were a smaller number of 30 year olds because they were only surveyed during 1990–1995, as noted above.
Prevalence of obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2) progressively increased from 9.4% in 1990 to 17.5% in 2004. Obesity prevalences by sex and 10 year age group are shown in Figure Figure33 (men) and Figure Figure44 (women). The 60 year olds had the highest obesity prevalences and the 30 year olds had the lowest. The differences between age groups were greater for the women than for the men. Prevalences of obesity increased for all groups with advancing survey years, except among 60 year old women where the prevalences were stable after 1993 (see Figure Figure44).
Between 1990 and 1994, 23,863 individuals participated in the surveys that formed the basis of the 10-year longitudinal study. Of those, 22,291 were eligible for the longitudinal study and 16,492 participated in the 10-year follow-up survey. See Figure Figure2.2. The ineligible included 1062 participants who moved out of the county, 503 individuals who died, and 7 who could not be located because of assignment of an anonymous civil number. The overall follow-up rate was 68.1%; the response rate among the eligible was 74%. Included in this analysis were 14,867 adults [7056 (47.5%) men and 7811 (52.4%) women] who were aged 30, 40 or 50 years at baseline, and had a measured BMI of 18.5–29.9 at the baseline survey. See Figure Figure1.1. Participants who lacked a BMI were also excluded. Participants with an initial BMI <18.5 or ≥30 kg/m2 were excluded from this analysis. A comparison of baseline factors for participants versus non-participants is shown in Table Table1.1. The non-participants were more likely to be younger, men, have higher education, have higher serum cholesterol levels, physically inactive, diabetics, and use nicotine.
In the longitudinal study, 5242 adults were categorized as non-gainers (weight gain of <3%) and 9625 were categorized as gainers (weight change of ≥3%). The incidence of overweight was 316/1000. This included those of normal BMI (18.5–24.9 kg/m2) who became overweight (BMI 25–29.9 kg/m2). The incidence of obesity was 107/1000. This included those of normal or overweight BMI (18.5–29.9) who became obese (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2). BMI, weight, and baseline characteristics by sex are shown for non-gainers and gainers in Table Table2.2. Ten-year percent change in weight ranged from minus 12.0% (1st percentile) to plus 29.5% (99th percentile). The mean (± SD) percent changes in weight were 5.5 ± 6.9 % and 6.6 ± 9.1 % for men and women, respectively. A cohort effect was seen for weight maintenance with greater proportions of people maintaining or losing weight in the later cohorts (Figures (Figures55 and and66).
In univariate analyses, older age, being a woman, low educational attainment, higher baseline BMI, glucose intolerance or diabetes, hypertension, higher serum cholesterol, lack of current snuff use, and later survey year predicted non-gain. See Table Table33.
The final multivariate logistic regression model is presented in Table Table4.4. Older age, being female, classified as overweight by baseline BMI, later survey year and baseline diagnosis of diabetes increased the chances of not gaining weight. Those who did not use snuff also were more likely to be non-gainers. The model showed goodness-of-fit and there were no significant interaction terms.
Using cross-sectional data, we can calculate the prevalence of normal BMI in the population (or in contrast, the prevalence of obesity). The cross-sectional data suggest a gradual, steady increase in the prevalence of obesity within this middle-aged population during the time period from 1990–2004. An increase in the mean weight, with a resultant increase in obesity prevalence, was common in each of the sex and age groups studied. Among the women, those 40 and 50 years old had increasing prevalences of obesity but the 60 year old women had a relatively stable prevalence. In the U.S., the prevalence of obesity in women has been noted to be leveling off [22] while continuing to increase in men and children. This is consistent with our finding that women have a higher likelihood of maintaining body weight. A study in 70-year old Swedes also found that prevalences of obesity were higher in later cohorts[23].
By employing longitudinal data, we can identify the characteristics of those who are maintaining or losing weight. The longitudinal study reveals a different picture of the obesity epidemic and those who are avoiding weight gain than do the cross-sectional surveys. Overall, only 35% of the middle-aged population who were normal or overweight was able to maintain or lose body weight over ten years, with the remainder becoming heavier. The 30 yr olds were least likely to maintain or lose weight. There are numerous reasons why 30 year olds might have an increased risk of gaining weight. These include pregnancy [24], changes in lifestyle related to career development (e.g., working overtime) [25], or dissatisfaction with the need to combine work and family life [25]. Our data do not allow us to explore these types of underlying reasons.
Individuals with glucose intolerance identified during their baseline survey, or those with diabetes type 2, were the most likely to avoid weight gain. Increased body weight is a well recognized risk factor for diabetes [8], and the majority of individuals with diabetes type 2 are overweight or obese. The observation that individuals with diabetes were less likely to gain weight over the ten year interval may be attributable to increased intervention efforts (i.e. secondary prevention) on the part of the primary care system or to poorly controlled diabetes. Similar results have been reported by others [26]. The mean fasting glucose among diabetics was only 7.2 mmol/L, making poorly controlled diabetes an unlikely explanation for an increased probability of non-gain. Since the best way to prevent diabetes is likely by preventing weight gain among normal weight and overweight people [8], from a public health perspective it is preferable to have effective primary prevention strategies and therefore have reduced need for secondary prevention efforts.
The classification of who is maintaining weight in this study may be generous. We chose to use the recommendations of Steven et al[20] because of the importance of publishing data that can be compared to the work of others. Definitions of weight maintenance and weight change are often not standardized between studies. Using cut points based on gain of < 3% body weight should allow for differences in body size, measurement error, clothing weight and fluid balance [20], and change in height (e.g. with aging).
A limitation of the current study is that participation rates were not optimal. In a separate analysis from the Swedish Census, the differences were minimal with regard to education, income and employment types between participants and non-participants[27]. However, in the longitudinal study the participants were more likely to be of older age, women, lower education, lower baseline BMI and less likely to have cardiovascular risk factors. Overall, the differences between participants and non-participants should have resulted in more conservative odds ratios in our final model.
We noted a cohort effect, with a higher proportion of each age group maintaining weight as time progressed (Figures (Figures55 and and6).6). This could mean that a slowing of the obesity epidemic is occurring but is not yet evident in the cross-sectional prevalence. The higher numbers of weight maintainers may also be the consequence of local community interventions to reduce cardiovascular disease risk.
The population studied in VIP has been participating in a program to reduce cardiovascular risk since the early 1990s. Programs intended to reduce cardiovascular risk could reduce obesity risk, although this has never been shown. Other community intervention programs for cardiovascular disease risk have been successful in altering cardiovascular risk but have failed to prevent weight gain [28-30]. The VIP interventions to encourage low fat diets, increase physical activity and control of other cardiovascular risk factors may provide an explanation for our findings. However, it should be noted that the goal of decreasing dietary saturated fat was intended to lower serum cholesterol, not reduce caloric intake. In addition, obesity as an important Swedish health problem, has only recently received wide recognition [31]. VIP was designed and implemented at the local, primarily rural, level and has been sustained for more than 20 years. This duration is longer than others with such a large intervention group. A longer, sustained intervention may be more successful although effects on weight gain have not been specifically evaluated.
One explanation for our findings may be that those with a chronic disease or identified risk factor are more attentive to weight maintenance and weight loss, while those without risk factors are not placing a priority on maintaining or losing weight. An alternative explanation may be that there are secular changes taking place that are slowing weight gain but that are not necessarily the direct result of interventions. A third possibility is that public health programs and medical care focus educational efforts on those with risk factors or chronic diseases rather than those who are perceived to be healthy (the young and lean) and therefore thought to be at low risk for future health problems.
We expected that individuals with normal BMI at baseline would be the most likely to maintain their body weight. Instead, we found that it is the people with normal body weight who are most likely to gain. Being younger, leaner and free of health problems increases the risk for weight gain by up to 150%. The finding that older adults are more likely to maintain weight is not unique to our population. An epidemiologic study from Norway also found that weight maintenance is more likely among those who are of older age [32]. Being overweight was associated with lower risk of weight gain, possibly because these individuals have been identified as at risk and are the recipients of secondary prevention from public health interventions or health care providers. The association between glucose intolerance identified at baseline and lack of weight gain supports this interpretation. Another possibility is that those who are overweight are paying more attention to their weight and/or working to avoid weight gain.
Efforts to assist people in losing weight have been largely unsuccessful [33,34]. Because increases in BMI above the normal range are associated with increases in the risk of many health conditions, poorer quality of life and mortality [35], the time to intervene is before weight gain occurs. Researchers and public health officials have been actively working to identify interventions that can be globally implemented for population-wide changes to dietary behaviors and physical activity [36]. In the U.S., there have been programs supported by the government, academic research community, and public health organizations but none have been successful in curtailing obesity [37].
The suggestion has been made that the public should learn about the body weight that is optimal for health, although it is unclear what type of educational programs should be implemented. By its longitudinal design, VIP gives further opportunities to provide data on weight maintenance, and thereby adds on to our present base of knowledge of what kind of preventive initiatives are likely to contribute and support people to maintain an optimal body weight. A developed perspective on maintaining weight in primary prevention does not replace or decrease secondary prevention efforts, but should rather be seen as a complement.
Educational efforts should be broadened to include those adults who are usually considered to be at low risk for weight gain – younger individuals of normal body weight, and those who are without health conditions (e.g. diabetes type 2) or cardiovascular risk factors – as these are the individuals who are least likely to maintain their body weight over a 10 year period. This does not negate the importance of continuing effective secondary prevention strategies. The importance of preventing weight gain earlier in life rather than later has been emphasized by others [5,8], but the importance of focusing obesity prevention efforts on those without risk factors has not been widely recognized.

The changing face of Oracle
July 7, 2006[From Computer Business Review Online]
Oracle has in recent times not so much been throwing off the old to bring in the new, as hanging onto the old while adding the new. It has considerably changed the shape of its business and is now presenting a new face to the world.
The company is faced with numerous challenges, but they all relate to one fundamental change: the transition from an infrastructure technology provider to an applications provider.

One of the points that Dr. Kirch made while he was here was that in every city he visits, he sees the billboard wars from local hospitals and physicians' groups, all claiming their health services are better than anyone else's. Sadly, Tampa was no different – Dr. Kirch called us out on our billboard rivalries.
Wouldn't it be nice, he said, if health systems worked together more, investing those competitive energies in trying to improve the health of their communities?
Well, I'm happy to say that this is one area where Tampa Bay is making some positive strides.
Today the One Bay initiative – a project of the Tampa Bay Partnership – is hosting a Healthy Communities Regional Forum. And yes, this is a project where everyone has signed on board. Several of Tampa Bay's hospitals are sponsors, as is USF Health. One Bay is rolling out a new website, www.HealthyTampaBay.com, which will provide health news, health indicators and other health data for the region.
That's something we can be proud to put on a billboard.

Junior to Watch: Joseph Kedra
School: Cherry Hill (N.J.) Camden Catholic
Position: Inside Linebacker
Article Continues Below
Size and speed: Joe is 6-foot-4, 215 pounds and runs a 4.7 second 40-yard dash. Joe has a 280-pound max bench press.
Statistics: Last season, Joe was in on 189 tackles. He had two sacks, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and five interceptions, four of them taken back for touchdowns.
Honors: all-conference, all-south Jersey, all-Parochial, parochial group II all-state.
Favorite Schools: No favorites at this time. Joe has been contacted by more than 30 schools and has offers from Rutgers, Boston College and Maryland. He attended the Rutgers, Penn State and Maryland junior days. He will also be heading to Boston College for a junior day.
Skinny: A very athletic linebacker with a nose for the ball. Most college recruiters consider Joe as a big-time prospect with good size and stats to back it up. He has been invited to the Nike Camp at Penn State in April, but is not sure if he will be attending when we last spoke with him. He plans on taking all five visits before making a decision and is working hard in the off-season to get stronger and faster. Being such a good athlete and having the size to play defensive end or tight end as well as linebacker, Kedra will be heavily recruited.
"I really want to play linebacker in college. I feel most comfortable at that position and that's what the schools are recruiting me as. I'll just wait to see what happens."
As Joe continues to grow, so should his offer list. Expect him to have many more offers by the end of the summer.
"I'm looking forward to my senior season. I'm concentrating on working hard in the weight room and running as well."

As Jennifer mentioned in her last post, we're in Maui, Hawaii, enjoying a fabulous stay at the Westin Maui Resort & Spa. From our hotel in Ka'anapli, on West Maui, we've made excursions to a few different attractions on the island.
Since both of us like to hike, Jen and I asked our friend Michael from the Hawaii Visitors & Convention Bureau to recommend a great trail for us. He got us driving directions–via outfitter Hike Maui, I believe–to the Waihee Ridge Trail. Great! We thought. An hour's drive along the northwest coast to a 5-mile round-trip, moderate trek.
Indeed, the actual hike itself was amazing. We felt like we'd been dropped in Jurassic Park, with all the lush foliage, bright-green ferns, deep gorges and striking cliffs we spotted along the trail.
But what our buddy Michael didn't tell us was that the drive to the trailhead–Honoapiilani Hwy and Kahekili Hwy–was treacherous. So much so, the rental car company's contract is void if you drive on the crazy, winding, curvy, cliff-hugging so-called "highway" (ha!) above the Pacific Ocean! (Naturally, we discovered this while reading the "don't drive here" map the rental-car company gave us, while already hugging the cliffs in said rental car. )
Thankfully, Jen was at the wheel, handling the crazy winding roads like a pro. She dutifully tooted the car horn when we'd pass a "Blow Horn" sign, to warn drivers who couldn't see us around the rocky corner. Of course, I got to enjoy all the amazing scenery, while she kept her eyes on the road.
And you know what? Even though the ride was mildly anxiety provoking (okay, white-knuckle inducing), we were actually pleased we didn't know we weren't supposed to drive on the Kahekili Highway in a rental car. If we'd been given the option of taking the "easier" route to the trailhead, we probably would have taken it.
Instead we found ourselves passing through tiny towns way off the typical tourist route. We marveled at the little houses in remote Old Kahakuloa Village, and wondered how many people attended services at the small, green clapboard church. We giggled at the signs that proclaimed "Free Samples of Julia's Best Banana Bread on the Planet – 3/4 mile ahead." And wondered why we'd see a sign, "Narrow Road Ahead," when we'd already been on "narrow winding roads" for the past 45 minutes! What? How much narrower and more winding could a road get!
And we stopped and chatted with Bruce Turnbull at the Turnbull Studios & Sculpture Garden. He moved to the area after "dropping out"in the 1960s and never left–creating a little slice of paradise in an area where few visitors tread.
So, we're thrilled that we ended up on the road less traveled for our excursion the other day, but we do wonder if Michael was trying to tell us something by sending us on the most treacherous road either of us had ever encountered! Was it something we said?

"You need an attitude adjustment," Samantha Logan told Adam Rourke.
She didn't care that he was rich, she didn't care that he was handsome, and she didn't care that her boss was his surrogate father.
She tried to ignore the fact that his deep voice hit her behind the knees and made her feel oddly off balance. And she was sure those heart palpitations were the result of drinking two five-hour energy drinks in less than 30 minutes and definitely not from a pair of broad shoulders, green eyes, and a sexy stubble.
He was way too cynical, thought he knew it all, and had her reaching for three Excedrin and a couple of Tums in less than five minutes!
Samantha Logan, he decided, was the proverbial sexy librarian fantasy - with dancer's legs and a curvy ass. Her blonde hair was piled precariously on top of her head, held in place by a bright yellow pencil. A few flaxen wisps had escaped, teasing against a softly rounded face. Square blue-tinted eyeglasses highlighted even bluer eyes. She was smart, sassy, way too funny - and she had no idea she was all that.
When she pulled the pencil from her topknot, he watched her hair untangle and drift down to her shoulders, in a sexy-just-out-of-bed, mess-me-up-more tumble. Adam hadn't realized he was even holding his breath, until he coughed in relief.
Right now, she was mad! Her bare foot angrily tapping against the carpet. And way too sexy - he tried to blink that observation away. There was nothing left to do but apologize. But she had looked him straight in the eye and insulted him!
Even after two tours of duty in Fallujah, Adam wasn't sure he could handle a woman who: wrangled a team of SEALS for the Wounded Warrior Project; was banned from singing, humming, or playing golf, had an oven timer that played Beethoven's Fifth; loved all things chocolate way too much; preferred puppy kisses over his; and owned a moose named Morti.
There was only one thing for this Marine to do - man up, take her down and demand a zerbert - whatever the hell that was!

Vitamins for your DNA

What do you guys think of the idea of vitamins personalized for your body through dna test? They test your dna for 177,000 possible ingredient combinations, put what your body needs, and sends it to you. I personally thought it was the coolest thing i have heard in a while. You?
July 14th, 2008, 10:16 PM #2
Nobody is going to test my DNA and get that info for resale to sell me some pills I can get at GNC. That's just asinine!

But they send you a list of what your lacking so you know what you need for around the same price as what people pay who take vitamins. Most people take what they dont need or too much which is bad for you. As a personal trainer and nutritionist I think its a great idea.
July 15th, 2008, 02:03 AM #4
I'm not a scientist, but I thought dna was hereditary, CSI stuff.
So if I am lacking a certain vitamin, say due to bad diet, smoking, medications, not getting enough sun, how is my dna going to show that?

I have the Brooklyn Bridge for sale.
Anyone here that wants to buy it let me know.

I think the gist of this is that we can look at ones dna and see if someone is more likely to have a specific medical issue. Then the person could make changes to their diet including taking specific vitamins to help avoid whatever specific illness.
IMHO the problem is we don't know enough about dna yet for this to really work. Within 50 years? maybe. At some point down the road (not in this human's lifetime) I can see dna profiling becoming the norm. But there is a whole lot of privacy issues that will need to be flushed out before it happens, if ever.

The application has rather enormous potential indeed. It is still in its infancy and will someday have the potential to be big biz.
DNA profiling will be just around the corner. It is inevitable. Every time you get a blood test or have a tooth worked on, people can collect your DNA w/o you even knowing it. There is literally nothing stopping a government or some crack pot from collecting it. Laws have never been a barrier to anything. When you spit, you donate DNA rather freely I might add. Thats a legal issue.
DNA while hereditary, is affected by the things you do, your diet etc. You in turn pass this on to your kids. This works exactly the same as your behaviour.
While I am not in any way sceptical of the application, it has enormous control issues that will in fact be a part of every day life at some point.
While Haiko can in fact get these vitamins at GNC, there is no way in hell he can really ever know what is missing with out a test. Its like programming a web site w/o a screen. So this is only partially correct.
Here's the thing though that he may not have thought of: Once you let your DNA out of your immediate control, what happens to it. If these guys split it up and sold it, how would anyone{Haiko included} ever really know ?. There are so many apps for DNA that are invisible, like growing new limbs etc. that would never be known to the donor.
DNA is a lot like spam. If you think about it, a person like Haiko can innocently send a mail to a legitimate source, and the guy sells it and before you know it you are getting 2500 spams per week from 35 different sources. None of whom you know and all the while the process is completely invisible and uncontrollable by the the donor.
Haiko is unwittingly doing the right thing it seems by protecting his property ~ His DNA. In the next 20 years DNA will become the next giant leap forward in Identity Theft. He is right in treating his DNA like a Domain Name...
Good call Haiko !

Class I Recall of Hamilton G5 Ventilator. A recall of Hamilton G5 ventilators has been given a Class I designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The agency only labels a recall as Class I when there is a reasonable risk of serious injury or death. In this case, there is a defect that could result in inadequate amounts of oxygen being delivered. Hamilton G5 ventilators provide breathing support to adults, children, infant and newborn patients in hospitals and other health care facilities. The recall affects G5 Ventilators V2.00 and V2.31 distributed between March 2007 and March 2014. In the US, 1,128 units are being recalled.
According to a recall alert posted on the FDA website, the ventilators may fail to provide oxygen when the operator uses the suctioning maneuver; this is done by pressing the oxygen enrichment key to attach the ventilator mask to the patient. The ventilator may not even sound an alarm when this happens, the recall notice states. There has been one report of malfunction so far. No deaths or injuries have been reported. "If the device operator does not intervene, the patient may not receive enough oxygen and could suffer serious adverse health consequences, including injury or death." the notice states.
Life-Threatening Issue of Defective Ventilation
The life-threatening defect can occur under two conditions, according to the recall notice: either the oxygen enrichment key is pressed a second time within 50 milliseconds after the disconnected is detected or "disconnection is detected immediately before the oxygen enrichment period automatically ends, so that detection of disconnection and termination of O2-enrichment occur within 50 milliseconds of each other."
Device operators are urged to make sure that ventilation continues after the suctioning maneuver is performed. According to the recall notice, if ventilation does not continue then operators should either press the "Manual Breath" key located on the front side of the ventilator, change mode of ventilation or switch to "Standby Mode" and return to a previously used mode of ventilation.

ALAMEDA, Calif. -- The Oakland Raiders held off making an
official announcement on the job status of coach Bill Callahan on Tuesday, but some players said he'd been fired.
"Coach Callahan requested that for personal and family reasons
the club make no announcement [Tuesday], and we will honor his
request," Raiders chief executive Amy Trask told AP.
A formal announcement is expected Wednesday.
Callahan spent three minutes at his final news conference Monday and did not take questions. According to The Oakland Tribune, the coach met with Raiders owner Al Davis and senior assistant Bruce Allen on Tuesday and was told the option on his contract -- which potentially had two more years to run -- would not be picked up.
The Raiders finished a 4-12 season that was the team's worst
since 1997 only a year after Callahan led them to the Super Bowl in
his rookie season as coach.
Callahan was in a meeting at the team's headquarters Tuesday
afternoon, but his office later said he left for the day. A call to
his agent, Gary O'Hagan, was not immediately returned Tuesday
Callahan's son, Brian, is a freshman backup quarterback for UCLA, which played in the Silicon Valley Classic in San Jose on Tuesday night.
"I'm just sad about how everything happened," Raiders center
Barret Robbins told the AP on Tuesday evening. "It was hard not to
[support him], because he gave me an opportunity to come back."
The Raiders would become the seventh NFL team without a coach.
Steve Spurrier resigned as coach of the Washington Redskins on
Tuesday. A day earlier, Dick Jauron of the Chicago Bears, Gregg
Williams of the Buffalo Bills and Dave McGinnis of the Arizona Cardinals all were fired.
Earlier, the New York Giants fired Jim Fassel and the Atlanta Falcons dismissed Dan Reeves.
The Raiders tied with San Diego, Arizona and the Giants
for the worst record in the NFL. They ended their season with a
21-14 loss Sunday at San Diego.
There has been speculation for weeks Callahan would be fired.
Several players said they expected and welcomed the ouster of
Callahan, who last month called his squad "the dumbest team in
America" and suspended key players Charles Woodson and Charlie Garner for the season finale for missing curfew.
Woodson, a four-time Pro Bowl cornerback, has been outspoken in
his criticism of Callahan. He has called Callahan stubborn and said
the coach lost the respect of his team.
"He's really made this thing personal. When things get
personal, it's not a good situation to be around people that it's
personal with," Woodson said Monday. "I won't play for him.
"He's not the type of person you want to be around. He's just
really brought a really negative vibe to this team over the course
of the season."
Raiders owner Al Davis, whose team was not able to live up to
his "Just Win, Baby!" motto this season, is not known for his
patience with coaches.
MVP quarterback Rich Gannon said Tuesday that sweeping change was
"It's gotten to the point it's inevitable there's got to be change," Gannon said.
The Raiders made costly mistakes in all phases of the game
throughout the season, and often beat themselves with penalties.
After Oakland's 22-8 loss to the Denver Broncos late last month,
Callahan erupted.
"We've got to be the dumbest team in America in terms of
playing the game," Callahan shouted to reporters after the home
loss. "I'm highly critical because of the way we give games away --
we give 'em away! Period. It's embarrassing, and I represent that.
And I apologize for that. If that's the best we can do, it's a sad
The Raiders had 12 players on injured reserve this season,
including Gannon and his backup, Marques Tuiasosopo. And four
players face suspensions from the NFL after testing positive for
the newly discovered steroid THG, a source told AP on condition of anonymity.
Several Raiders expressed support for Callahan, saying he
deserved another chance to win with his own team rather than
players he inherited from former coach Jon Gruden, who bolted for
Tampa Bay following the 2001 season.
Callahan, a seven-year NFL assistant who had no head coaching
experience, was promoted from offensive coordinator to replace
