As your project progresses, you can review how work on its tasks (task: An activity that has a beginning and an end. Project plans are made up of tasks.) is affecting the overall project schedule (schedule: The timing and sequence of tasks within a project. A schedule consists mainly of tasks, task dependencies, durations, constraints, and time-oriented project information.).
As you track progress through your project, you can review the differences between planned, scheduled, and actual work (actual work: The amount of work that has been performed on a task or assignment. When you enter actual work on a task, the remaining work is calculated using this formula: Remaining Work = Work - Actual Work. Actual work is often referred to as "actuals."). This helps you assess whether work on your project is progressing as expected. You can compare work amounts for tasks as a whole, or for resources (resources: The people, equipment, and material that are used to complete tasks in a project.) and their individual assignments (assignment: A specific resource that is assigned to a particular task.).
The easiest way to compare work amounts with your original plan is to apply the Work table to a sheet (sheet: A spreadsheet-like representation [in rows and columns] of task or resource information. Each row specifies an individual task or resource. Each column [field] specifies a type of information, such as start dates or standard rates.) view, such as the Gantt Chart view or Resource Usage view. The value in the Work field represents the current scheduled work value, showing the total of actual and remaining work for tasks that have started, and showing the latest projected work value for tasks that have not yet started.
If you saved a baseline (baseline plan: The original project plans [up to 11 per project] used to track progress on a project. The baseline plan is a snapshot of your schedule at the time that you save the baseline and includes information about tasks, resources, and assignments.), then your original planned work amounts are stored in the Baseline field. With this field, you can compare work amounts in your original plan to currently scheduled work amounts. The Variance field shows the calculated variance (variance: The difference between baseline and scheduled task or resource information, they usually occur when you set a baseline plan and begin entering actual information into your schedule. Variances can occur in work, costs, and schedule.) between planned and scheduled work, that is, the difference between the Baseline and Work fields.
You can also review actual work amounts in the Actual fields. For completed tasks, the Work and Actual fields contain the same value.
On the View tab, click Gantt Chart. In the Data group, click the arrow on Tables, and then click Work. Compare the values in the Work and Baseline fields.
To see the variance between the Work and Baseline fields, review the Variance field. For finished tasks, this variance represents the difference between actual and planned work. For tasks currently in progress, the Work field is the total of Actual Work and Remaining Work. For tasks not yet started, the Work field is the current projection, and is often the same as the Baseline.
The Variance field compares just the Work and Baseline fields; it does not compare other baseline fields (such as Baseline1, Baseline2, and so on).
On the View tab, in the Task Views group, click Task Usage. On the View tab, in the Data group, click the arrow on Tables, and then click Work.
Review total work values in the sheet portion of the view. In addition to the Task Name field, the table shows the Work, Baseline, Variance, Actual, Remaining, and % W. Comp. (percent work complete) fields. The summary rows show the total work values for each task while the italicized entries show the individual work values for each assignment.
Review timephased values of work for each task and assignment in the timesheet portion of the view under each time period.
On the View tab, click Resource Usage. On the View tab, in the Data group, click the arrow on Tables, and then click Work.
Review total work values in the sheet portion of the view. In addition to the Resource Name field, the table shows % Comp. (percent complete), Work, Overtime, Baseline, Variance, Actual, and Remaining fields. The summary rows show the total work values for each resource, while the italicized entries show the individual work values for each assignment.
Review timephased values of work for each resource and assignment in the timesheet portion of the view under each time period.
Note Resource data is baselined at the project level. As a result, baselined resource data can vary widely depending on a number of factors. For example, you have a project with many tasks, and many resources allocated to those tasks. When you save a baseline, the resource allocation data is captured at the project level. If you add a task at a later time and configure the new task to roll up to the project level, the resource allocation baseline will not change.
Top of Page
By viewing work that is broken down by time period, you can see work within periods ranging from one minute to one year.
Note You can click one of the options in the Timescale list to set the bottom timescale tier.
For example, if you want to see work broken down by weeks and then by days, click Weeks in the Units box on the Top Tier tab, and then click Days in the Units box on the Middle Tier tab.
Note To show fewer than three timescales, under Timescale options select the timescales you want to appear in the Show list.
Note To add or view more options, click Add Details. The Detail Styles dialog appears. On the Usage Details tab, in Available fields, select the fields that you want. Click Show. Conversely, to remove options, you can select fields in Show these fields, then click Hide to remove options. Use the Move arrows to change the order in which fields appear. Click OK.
Note You can also view the work associated with a selected task using a split view, sometimes known as a combination view (combination view: A view containing two views. The bottom pane view shows detailed information about the tasks or resources in the top pane view. For example, the Gantt Chart view could be in the top pane and the Task Form view in the bottom pane.). To create a split view, select the view that you want to appear on the top pane (pane: A section of a window that contains a view. A combination view consists of two panes, for example, the Gantt Chart view in the top pane and the Task Form view in the bottom pane.) of the view, and then, on the View tab, in the Split View group select Details. In the list select the view that you want. The view in the bottom pane shows detailed information about the tasks or resources in the top pane view. For example, when you display any task view in the top pane and the Resource Usage view in the bottom pane, the view in the bottom pane shows the resources assigned to the tasks selected in the top pane, with information about those resources. The resource information shown pertains to all assigned tasks for each resource, not just to the tasks selected in the top pane.
If you have set a baseline for your project, you can see how tasks progress over time and see whether their start and finish dates are slipping (slippage: The amount of time that a task has been delayed from its original baseline plan. The slippage is the difference between the scheduled start or finish date for a task and the baseline start or finish date.). You can track progress by comparing baseline and scheduled or actual start (start date: The date when a task is scheduled to begin. This date is based on the duration, calendars, and constraints of predecessor and successor tasks. A task's start date is also based on its own calendars and constraints.) and finish dates (finish date: The date that a task is scheduled to be completed. This date is based on the task's start date, duration, calendars, predecessor dates, task dependencies, and constraints.).
If the variance fields are not visible, adjust the view splitter or press TAB to move through the fields to display them.
The Tracking Gantt view displays two task bars, one on top of the other, for each task. The lower bar shows baseline start and finish dates, and the upper bar shows scheduled start and finish dates so that you can see the difference between your plan and the current schedule. In addition, on the Gantt Chart Tools Format tab you can click Baseline to display the chart baselines.
You can also see whether the start and finish dates for task assignments are slipping, using the Slipping Assignments filter. This filter shows resources that are assigned to tasks that are not yet complete and that have been delayed from the finish date of the baseline. To use this filter, you must have saved a baseline plan.
The amount of slack (slack: The amount of time that a task can slip before it affects another task or the project's finish date. Free slack is how much a task can slip before it delays another task. Total slack is how much a task can slip before it delays the project.) in your schedule tells you how much you can delay tasks before other tasks or the project end date is affected.
In the chart portion of the view, slack appears as thin bars to the right of tasks, with slack values adjoining the regular Gantt bars.
Press TAB to move to the Free Slack and Total Slack fields if they are not visible in the sheet portion of the view.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"We personalized the picture with a shot of the bride and groom outdoors in a forest. The quality of printing was great and captured details in the background such as tree branches and leaves. I ordered the gold bottom and it came out great! I felt the gold looks perfect for us since we're having a winter wedding. Such a beautiful postcard and the back was just the right amount of space. Highly recommend these!"
"These are for my daughters wedding, and She i s procrastinator. Could not make a decision on what she wanted. She saw these and made the decision on the spot !"
"I absolutely loved the design of this save the date! My picture turned out amazing with this design. My designer was extremely friendly and helpful! I was very pleased over all!!"
"We ordered these save the dates for our autumn wedding in 2015. When the magnets arrived we were speechless. They are a perfect size- not too big and not too small. The design is even more beautiful in person, and the magnets arrive in a classy black box. We have already gotten tons of compliments- and our order arrived two days before the expected delivery date. We could not be happier with our purchase."
"I LOVE my save-the-date. I chose the silver stripes with blue writing, and all of my hotel/wedding website information fit easily on the back. Customer service was amazing - I had an issue, got a real person on the line super quickly, and got effective results fast. Overall, 5 stars for every aspect of this transaction!!"

Quiet time for meditation is transforming a troubled urban middle school in California, reducing truancy and suspensions.
"We're giving the kids a coping mechanism. The problems that you have keep coming, except your ability to deal with them changes." — Rose Ludwig, 6th grade teacher.
Twice a day, once at the first bell and again just before the last bell, students sit quietly for 15 minutes, either reading, sitting with their own thoughts, or closing their eyes and meditating. Nearly all students have chosen, with their parents' permission, to receive meditation training, and about 90 percent of students choose to meditate during quiet time.

Aaand here's my new necklace holder! I found this lovely branch and burned the design into it. Then I hammered all kinds of different things in there. I like the randomness. :)
I think I'll touch up the design at some point but I'm happy for now.
Truebluemeandyou: Of all the branch jewelry displays I've seen (plenty), I think this is my favorite with the wood burned design on the branch.

LONDON (AP) -- Two men accused of planning an al-Qaida-inspired terrorist attack intended to be bigger than the 2005 London transit bombings have pleaded guilty in a London court.
Mohammed Rizwan and Bahader Ali on Wednesday admitted engaging in conduct in preparation of acts of terrorism.
Prosecutors say they were part of a gang that planned to detonate bombs hidden in backpacks. Three of the other plotters were convicted earlier this year.
Prosecutors say that the gang had planned an attack that would rival the July 7, 2005, London transit bombings, which killed 52 commuters.
They planned to explode the bombs Birmingham, Britain's second-largest city.
Six other gang members have already pleaded guilty. Sentencing will be later this month.

Answers in GenesisBy Max Beebout November 5th, 2011
The program, "Answer's in Genesis" is a wonderful program that I watch on the AFA channel. The program airs once a week with two different segments: the "Answers creation hour" and the normal program, "Answer's in Genesis." Both segments deal with an array of different subjects ranging from sharing your faith to creationism to biblical science, etc.
This week's episode was an "Answers Creation hour" and it featured Ken Ham, who presented a discussion called, "One Blood, One Race."
What Ken tackles here is the topic of race and where all the people came from.
Well, right off the bat he references the Bible and points to Genesis 5:4 as to start the conversation of where people came from, if there was just one man and one woman. The book of Genesis references "Adam and Eve and sons and daughters" and that Eve was given her name because she was to be the mother of all the living. So originally, brothers and sisters got married at that point in time. In fact, it wasn't until the time of Moses and the book of Leviticus that marriage of close relations was prohibited. So what that means is that for 2500 years close intermarriage was normal but then it changed as the growth of the human population changed.
Then Mr. Ham backs up every statement said with scripture, regarding the story how people came from different races, or people groups, all coming from the destruction of the Tower of Babel, and relating the changes in humans from the beginning to now as the way that animals still stay the same kind of animal as their DNA changes over time with mating.
"Answer's in Genesis" is a wonderful program. I would highly recommend this to families with children in school, because they are being show all different kinds of ways that we came to be as people that is not biblical in any ways. I would also recommend this program to anyone with questions or concerns over things that they might be too afraid to ask their pastor or other kinds of religious leader. Again, solid theology and great programming with a little bit of humor mixed in here and there.
And so watch and enjoy. Who knows, you learn a thing or two. God Bless

Found January 08, 2013 on NESN.com:
PLAYERS: Jared Sullinger, Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Garnett, Doc Rivers
TEAMS: Boston Celtics, New York Knicks
TEAMS: Boston Celtics, New York Knicks
Several members of the Celtics and Knicks got pretty worked up during Monday's game, with Carmelo Anthony going so far as to wait outside the Celtics' team bus to confront Kevin Garnett. Most of the players downplayed both the chippiness on the game and the altercations afterward, although Celtics coach Doc Rivers did admit that he would "tell on [Anthony]" if it were the playoffs. Rookie Jared Sullinger may have had the line of the night, though. "That's testy?" Sullinger was, according to ESPN. "That's testy? I've seen way worse stuff in the '80s, and I wasn't even born in the '80s. So, if that's testy, I didn't see it." Sullinger is right on a number of counts. Way worse stuff did take place in the '80s, for one thing. Also, he was born in 1992. Now, don't you feel old?

An Estonian man survived a seven-story fall trying to escape through his apartment's window after wife locked him in. The 35-year-old attempted to descend from the 8th floor using a rope he made out of bed sheets. Eyewitness Yekaterina Horoshko captured the failed escape on camera.
So there is this Estonian dude, Mart Kuus, that stirred quite a trouble in the Helsinki market a while back. The whole thing ended up with him going kung fu on Finnish police, swinging a broom. It took six guys to pin him down.

Visitors to Winnebago County spent over $300 million last year, the highest amount on record.
Spending increased 11.8 percent in 2011 to over $311 million. Winnebago County's rate of growth surpassed that of the state and of all comparative markets. The State of Illinois saw an 8.1 percent increase and most comparative markets saw increases slower than that of the state average.
Jobs supported by tourism increased by 1.1 percent in 2011, compared to 2010. The state saw an increase of 1.5 percent and many comparative markets saw decreases in tourism supported jobs. Winnebago County had 2,620 jobs supported by tourism last year.
Local tax revenue generated from visitor spending increased 8.5 percent to a total of $5.01 million for the county. The state average was just 4.9 percent. "This is money that wouldn't exist in our community without visitors," Rockford Area Convention & Visitors Bureau President/CEO John Groh said. "That money cycles through local restaurants, hotels and retail outlets, creating jobs and tax revenue."

A report in the New York Daily News said officials are worried about Christopher Dorner targeting security detail at the Grammy Awards.
Police are worried alleged cop-killer Christopher Dorner may target the security detail at the Grammy's Sunday, according to the New York Daily News.
Reuters reported that a Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson said extra security would be provided for the Grammys, but no reason was given.
The newspaper reported that a line in Dorner's so-called manifesto has some officials worried about the award show in Los Angeles.
"I assume you that Incident Command Posts will be target-rich environments," the manifesto says.
According to the News, a former LAPD bureau chief, John Miller of CBS, raised the concern on "This Morning" Sunday. The News reported that Miller believes the police detail at the Grammy's may be one of Dorner's targets.
An LAPD spokesman also said that police would be providing extra security for the Grammy Awards ceremony.
Earlier Sunday, Los Angeles authorities offered a $1 million reward for information leading to the arrest of Dorner.
Related from MSN: $1 million reward in search for fugitive LA cop
Dorner, a former Los Angeles police officer, is suspected in three killings, including one officer.
Authorities are still searching for the fugitive. Thursday, they found his burned pickup truck near the resort town of Big Bear, Calif.
Sunday, police were investigating a taunting phone call to the father of one of Dorner's victims that may have been made by Dorner himself.
The hunt for Dorner stretched into its fourth day Sunday, with SWAT teams, air support and bloodhounds fanning out to search. Dorner has vowed revenge against several former colleagues within the LAPD.

This is one of those pastries that once you bite into (for a small little bite of course), you find yourself eating the entire thing and swooning all the way. It is extra crunchy, yet light, and sweet but not too much, and nutty; in short, heavenly. They are called tajate (crowns)
These are not difficult to make but need some planning ahead. They are made with a dough called kadaifi (or shredded phyllo dough) in the US and osmalliyeh in Lebanon. In Lebanon, some shops specialize in making this dough fresh; in the US, it is sold frozen in 1-pound packages.
The key is to get it as golden and crispy as possible; and there is only one way to do this: Soaking it in plenty of melted butter or oil (or a combo). In pastry shops, these pastries are fried, but for home use it is not necessary (and a lot less messy).
The syrup can be prepared several days ahead or even weeks and kept in the fridge.
INGREDIENTS: Makes 2 dozens (more or less depending on the size of the muffin tins); quantity can be halved or doubled.
- 1 box kadaifi dough (1 pound)
- 2 cups melted unsalted butter or oil or a combination of both
- 2 cups sugar syrup
- 3 cups assorted nuts, unsalted if possible
- 1/2 cup ground pistachio nuts for garnish if desired
1. Make the syrup and store in a jar in the fridge, covered.
2. Unravel the pastry over the countertop; take thin strands at a time and coil them and place them one at a time in a muffin or cupcake tin. Leave overnight for the pastry to dry out. If you have several pans, place one on top of the other. This will ensure the pastries will hold their shape while baking.
3. The next day, douse the pastries in melted butter or oil. Set the nuts on the surface of each pastry in a concentric circle. Preheat the oven to 375F and bake them until they are golden and crisp. If the butter is oozing out, tilt the pans and drain the excess butter. Pour the syrup over the pastries. Sprinkle with pistachios if desired and let them sit to absorb the syrup for a few hours. Serve. These will keep in a tight container for several days.
3 cups of sugar
1 1/2 cup of water
1 Tablespoon of lemon juice
1 Tablespoon of rose water, 1 Tablespoon of orange blossom water
- Place the sugar in a saucepan, add the water and the lemon juice (it is OK to use bottled lemon juice). Set on medium heat, stirring from time to time. It will boil. Let it boil and don't stir anymore. It needs to boil for about 12 minutes. If you own a candy thermometer, it will read 230F or 110C, which is one notch below softball. One minute before the end of cooking add the flavorings, orange blossom and rose water or one or the other. ( I add both)
- Let the syrup cool and if using that day, set it aside. If not cover and refrigerate for a few days or weeks.

Exercise and TrampolinesThe prevalence of overweight children is on the rise, and with the extra weight, increased risk of heart disease, bone and joint problems, sleep apnea, and social and psychological problems such as stigmatization and even poor self-esteem. Experts agree that exercise is a key factor in reducing weight and maintaining a healthy :" ": of the greatest benefits of the trampoline workouts is the effect on the lymphatic system. The lymph system bathes each cell in our body, carrying nutrients to the cell and taking waste products away. Unlike blood, which is pumped through the body by the heart, the lymph is completely dependant upon physical movement of the body in order to move. In other words, when we exercise, the lymph circulates well. Without adequate movement of the lymph, cells starve for nutrients and become bogged down in waste, a situation which contributes to degenerative diseases such as arthritis. Mini trampoline workouts get the lymph circulating freely through the body, improving overall health and immune system functioning.

A powerful, adjustable, vang action is then achieved, by tightening the main sheet with the boom held, as above.
Further, hand held tension to the control line, allows a boom to be safely eased towards the cockpit while jibing, reducing danger to the crew and passengers on board.
Essentially, a line is led from a boom bale to a "Deck Eye" at the rail, then across the foredeck to a "Deck Eye" on the opposite rail, but first passing through the BOOM STAY® control unit, and the control line block, and finally, back to the aforementioned boom bale, creating a "Boom Loop".
When the "Boom Loop" line is slack,the boom, and the "Boom Loop" line, move freely,with zero friction.
When the "Boom Loop" is under tension, the "Boom Loop" line binds at the deck eyes, effectively stopping any movement of the "Boom Loop" line and the boom at any point.
The BOOM STAY® system is a reliable substitute for the traditional boom brake, boom vang, and boom preventer systems, currently available in the sailing marketplace.

In my oppenion the 870 Express would be your best buy for the money. I have acouple in 12 ga. and 1 in 20 ga. At one time I also had a Mossburg 20 ge. and it was a real nice gun to carry and hunt with, but I think that the Rem. is better made. If you going to scope the rifled barreled get one with the canaleaver mount.
I decided to go with my step dad's 870. I'm getting a great price on it, so I couldn't give it up. $400 and it comes with both barrels, sling, and a scope. But thanks everyone for your input!
Mossberg 715t Flat Top .22 LR 16" Barrel W/Red Dot
The expert on defensive weapons VP Joe Biden says get a Dbl. barrel shotgun. With a shotgun you don't have to aim. Just have your wife blast the back yard from her porch. Of course the dumb "F" ignores the fact you would be arrested for discharging a firearm in DC.
If I might add, I have been hunting deer for over 40 years and up until a few years back (when I bought a muzzle loader) I always used a Mossberg 500. For the money its about the best you can buy, hands down. Not saying a Benelli isn't a great shotgun, but for a beginner a Mossy is a great gun. I have several barrels for mine. A smoothbore 24" slugster barrel with rifled sights (deer), a 24" rifled camo barrel again with rifled sights (deer), a 28" modified barrel (pheasant and other small game) and a longer full choke barrel both with glow lite sights. These guns can quite often be found used for a very reasonable price. A friend just sold his to a young man like yourself for $125 with an extra barrel although you may not be able to find such a great deal, and maybe you might find an even better deal. I have hunted deer, rabbit, ruffed grouse, pheasants, timber doodles, quail, ducks and goose with mine. I've had it for 40 yrs now with no problems whatsoever.
If you buy one used, any brand, I would advise shooting it before buying it unless buying it from a gunshop where they will stand behind it if it has a problem.
A scope is great, but with the distances you normally shoot deer at you can do well without one. Let me warn you though, once you shoot through one its hard going back to open sights....lol. At least it was for me.
And the advice to buy a clay pigeon thrower is a great one. Practice makes perfect.
Best of luck, be safe and have funoops, didn't see you already made your choice. An 870 is a great gun! No go have some fun....!and I hope you have great success.

It was an old story for the Islanders Thursday night at the Nassau Coliseum: a little too much Nazem Kadri and too little consistency on defense led to a 5-4 overtime loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Kadri scored three goals to earn his first career hat trick while Dion Phaneuf scored the game winner in overtime. Kyle Okposo led the Isles attack with a goal and two assists.
The loss dropped the Isles home record to 2-8-1 on the season.
"We've been inconsistent obviously," Isles Coach Jack Capuano said after the game. "That's an area that we talk about as a team. We have to stop talking about the structure and the frame-work. We know what our roster is. We know how we have to play. We just have to consistently believe that's what's going to get it done on our team. When we try to do things that are too cute and when we don't manage the puck properly and make it a short track, that's when we get into trouble."
This game was full of ebbs and flows with both teams having lots of open ice to work with in the opposing zone. The Isles took a 1-0 lead on Josh Bailey's first goal of the year, set up by a great pass by Okposo.
Bailey was glad to get the monkey off his back. "Obviously it feels nice to get on the score sheet and contribute," Bailey said. "It was a heck of a play by Okie. I was trying to not let myself get too frustrated. When the chances are there you've just got to stick with it and continue working on your shot, whether it's in practice or just getting pucks to the net in games. Eventually it will go in."
The Leafs tied it five minutes later on Kadri's first goal of the night and the game was tied 1-1 after 20 minutes.
Toronto outplayed the Islanders in the second period and some sloppy goaltending by Evgeni Nabokov and some poor line changes and defense by the Isles left the team in a 4-2 hole after 4o minutes despite Lubomir Visnovsky's first goal as an Islander that briefly put the home team up 2-1.
But Toronto also played sloppy defense and instead of tightening up their play to protect their two-goal lead, they continued to play wide open hockey and it cost them. First Andrew MacDonald scored on a high shot from the point 5:31 into the third period and then Okposo scored on a partial breakaway at the 10:08 mark to tie the game at 4-4.
The Isles had a chance to win in overtime but Michael Grabner's shot hit the post. Phaneuf ended the game with a goal just 1:11 into the extra session.
The Islanders continue their home stand Sunday when they host the Ottawa Senators at 3:00 PM. Islanders tickets for this and other games are available.
Michael Grabner was awarded a penalty shot late in the first period but shot the puck high over the cross bar. The penalty shot was the only infraction of the game and neither team was awarded a power play.
The hat trick by Kadri was the first for a Toronto player at the Nassau Coliseum since Paul Henderson did it on February 20, 1974.

Director: D. James Surmeier, PhD
Title: Rhythmicity and Synchrony in the Basal Ganglia
The Northwestern University Udall Center brings together five principal investigators (PIs) with complementary expertise from four research institutions (Northwestern University, University of Texas, University of Tennessee and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory). In addition to research teams, the Center has an Administrative Core to coordinate activities of the projects and a Molecular Core to serve the genetic profiling and gene therapy aims of the projects.
Our Center is focused on two major lines of study with strong translational potential. The first line of study focuses on the mechanisms underlying the pathological rhythmic bursting activity patterns in the basal ganglia network formed by the external segment of the globus pallidus (GP) and the subthalamic nucleus (STN). This activity is thought to be responsible for the motor symptoms of Parkinson's Disease (PD). Our group has identified adaptations in the GP-STN network in PD models that could be responsible for this pathophysiology. Our research teams are pursuing these discoveries and will attempt to translate it into new therapeutic approaches for late stage PD patients.
The second line of study in our center builds upon recent insights gained into the factors underlying vulnerability of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) that are lost in PD. These studies suggest that the engagement of voltage-gated calcium (Ca2+) channels during autonomous pacemaking helps to create a basal mitochondrial stress in SNc dopaminergic neurons, making them vulnerable to genetic mutations and environmental toxins. Other types of neuron that display vulnerability in PD, like neurons in the locus ceruleus and dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus appear to have a very similar physiological phenotype, replete with basal mitochondrial oxidant stress. Importantly, these studies also suggest this vulnerability can be diminished with a drug that is approved for human use, an inference supported by a number of recent epidemiological studies. A Phase II human clinical trial with the dihydropyridine isradipine has been completed and a Phase III proposal is being advanced. In addition, our Center initiated efforts to identify new and more powerful neuroprotective drugs. This effort has been successful and a new class of Ca2+ channel antagonists is in preclinical testing with the help of an NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research award from the NINDS.
Our Udall Center has two primary goals. The first goal is to gain a better understanding of the causes of PD. Our approach to this difficult problem has been to ask what is different about vulnerable dopaminergic neurons. This led us to the discovery that the engagement of a peculiar type of Ca2+ channel in autonomous pacemaking increased the sensitivity of dopaminergic neurons to mitochondrial toxins used to create models of PD. Subsequently, we have shown that Ca2+ entry through this channel increases mitochondrial oxidative stress and exacerbates the deleterious consequences of at least one genetic mutation associated with familial forms of the disease. The truly exciting thing about this discovery is that this channel is sensitive to an FDA approved class of drugs with an outstanding safety record. Clinical trials are underway in early stage PD patients to determine whether antagonizing this channel slows the progression of the disease. This insight has also spawned a drug discovery effort aimed at identifying new more potent and selective antagonists of this channel. This work has already yielded novel drugs that are in preclinical testing.
The second goal is to understand what happens to the motor circuitry of the brain when dopaminergic neurons are lost to the disease. If we can figure out how the network activity is changed, perhaps we can correct it. Although the problem is complex, this effort has already yielded a major insight into how the aberrant activity thought to be responsible for the inability to move arises. These studies are identifying a number of potential targets for pharmacological or genetic intervention that are currently being tested in animal models. These studies clearly hold the promise of powerful new therapies for late stage PD patients.

And because everyone loves a selfie, looking across the headwaters of the Snowy River (still on kosi's shoulder) soon after dawn. The only person anywhere close was Geoff, who was very quickly heading in the other direction. Bliss.
Another photo from last week. 7am, returning to Kosciuszko (main curvy summit) nobby etheridge to the left.
I'd rather be napping.
This weekend's trip involved many naps in Alpine meadows. This was perhaps my favourite; Rawson's pass between Etheridge and Kosciuszko. Soft grass and a cool breeze.
So so so fired up for @geoffmallo to have another crack at a2k. (and my chance to spend a few days hanging out solo in the Snowys while he does it.
On Saturday night we headed up to the Hamilton farm for the Annual Canoe Classic.
It's the first year I'm not running a checkpoint (or paddling), but we figured we might as well give the Rovers a hand setting up as we had to go pick up the dogs regardless.
Sure enough, after a day of hanging out with the Rovers shooting cans with a .22 and welding up broken dirt bike levers, darkness fell. And like clockwork, I found myself standing on the river bank shouting encouragement at the paddlers as they scooted past in the darkness.
I love this race. I love everything about it. I love that it starts at dusk, and the paddlers paddle all night. I love that it's a solid 111km long. I love that in the stink of faux 'charity' events like Trailwalker overrun with corporate teams, the Hawkesbury Canoe Classic is still completely homebrew. You might get a cotton t-shirt with a small logo at the startline with this year's design as drawn by some random paddler - you won't get embroided coolmax onsie's with oodles of corporate branding. Instead of massive colour matched marquees, we slap together an old white tent from up the shed to create our checkpoint and our big letter sign is home painted and lit up with a strobe light made from PVC piping in someone's garage.
You can imagine my delight when a paddler called out that he'd put a big hole in his boat - I bounded down to the riverbank and performed some duct tape macguyvering. I love this race. (Even better that he was from my old club and broke his class record later that night).
It might be time to actually do it again.
The last night and morning in Yosemite we got a little rain and snow, a pretty change from the blue skies.
I figured I'm join Tim on one of his last snow trips of the season, keen to try my tele's in the usual snow-shoeing territory.
Hannah and I headed down Friday night, we ran into mum on the way through Goulburn to drop her her new downie, and then took a break in Maccas at Canberra. We saw -1 in Canberra! Technical footwear in Maccas:
Hannah's on her L's, apparently she's driven a Falcon around North Head. That's it. So I figured the Friday night run is a great time to cause a traffic jam through Canberra (also, most of Canberra is roadworks, so limited to 80 anyway…)
We picked up Peter in Jindy and headed up to Island Bend to camp. Timbo and the rest of the crew were really late getting out of Sydney, so we put up the tents in the moonlight and hit the hay. We woke up to 2 new tents and Tim's 4WD, none of us heard them come in in the night. There was snow on the ground and a mob of Kangaroo's checking out the Landcruiser.
We headed up to Guthega; the cover was amazing! Hannah, Peter and I hit the road while the Timbo finished up the faffing, once we were off the tar and onto the dirt we lost the back of the car a couple of times on the ice, the climb pass the smiggins' turn off was colourful but really totally ok. It's strange to arrive at a ski resort after a dirt road, but most people come to Guthega via the chairlifts from Perisher. There was quite a lot of snow on the ground, and the car did need a little persuading to leave its spot beside 4WD's in the drop off area, lucky Timbo's a big bastard and was able to push it out. Still, absolutely nothing wrong with a lowered skirt-wearing V8 as a snow car :)
The change in conditions between our last trip out to Little Twynam was staggering. We were to Illawong hut in no time at all; the shrubby post-holing madness now replaced with perfect rolling fields of snow. A huge morning migration was underway, probably saw 30 other people heading out and there was a queue to get onto Illawong swing bridge, which now had it's approach ladder buried under snow. Perfect conditions.
After the bridge we had a wee bit of morning tea, Hannah, Peter and Wobbly headed on, and the rest of us cruised up to a band of trees for lunch. Steve made the thickest coffee I've ever drunk (and completely black), turns out we each had 3 shots worth, and for whatever reason the next hills were an absolute dream to get up. We rounded the last corner to hedley tarn, to see 3 people across the valley digging in! It was Hannah and the boys. I stopped to take some photos, Hannah called out to hurry up and help dig! Too funny, we decided there was absolutely no advantage in hurrying up, so we took more photos and had a chat while we watched them dig in the distance.
Soon enough we joined them, and did some building of our own.
Once we were done with camp some decided to duck over the hill and check out the Tarn (they'd made camp here to be out of the wind), Timbo and I decided what the campsite needed was a Scotch amphitheatre, so we took some shovels, sit-upon's and scotch up the hill a little. Tim picks the spot:
Our view from the
kitchen Scotch Ampitheatre:
The guys got back from the Tarn, and we settled in to cook dinner. The gear test for the weekend was my home-brew caldera-clone, I left the jetboil at home. It worked a treat pumping out water, at least 3 potfulls - but then as darkness really fell we couldn't get it to light again. Without the cloud cover the night was very cold, I think this might have been the reason. Even using an MSR pocket-rocket as a flame thrower we couldn't get the sucker to work, so I used Tim's trangia to finish up my spag bol - I'm a bit confused as to why we could get his to light as they're both metho stoves (although we had to use the rocket to light tim's trangia too). The thing is that while that cone is a monster in sydney, i.e you light it, step back and wait for it to go out before approaching it and just hope it doesn't boil over, when we did get it to light it seemed to burn at the perfect temperature for stirring pasta on the snow. Such a fickle beast.
Finally dinner was done and we went to bed, I was excited 'cause Hannah'd spent the last 2 hours talking up the 'spooning of a lifetime' I was going to get that night. The spooning was rubbish, but you get that. We woke up to more blue skies.
The boys packed up to head off to climb at Blue Lake, Hannah and I enjoyed some faffing before heading back down to Guthega. A shortage of Food (Tim forgot to pack any), and a shortage of fuel (Peter forgot his canister), meant I left them with my prosciutto and king island cheddar, hummus and metho and had a snickers for breakfast instead of my polenta porridge and a cuppa - Boo. It was ok, a schnitty at the pub would more than make up for it.
The Boys heading to blue lake:
Hannah faffing:
And then we headed off. Hannah has all the moves:
It took 30mins to get back to the bridge, we'd also left some water bottles with the guys so they could get water from the lake and not have to melt snow with limited fuel for sunday night dinner; so Hannah filled up our shared bottle. I filmed it just in case she fell in, but disappointingly she stayed dry. After a chat to 2 guys that had just skiied off of Mt Paralyser we headed on, and were back at Guthega for lunch. We decided to hit the road and stopped in Jindy for the schnitty, sharing the pub with 20 half-drunk rugby boys celebrating their season premiership win by dressing up as everything from Taco's to $2 hookers. It was fun and the schnitzel wasn't too bad either.
Another fun weekend, but the last for the winter :(

Ok, here's the trip report. Putting up photos doesn't tell the whole story. In fact, this post probably won't either. What can you do… I'm heading out for the last snow trip of winter this weekend, so better write this one before I have another one to do!
The Bogong Rover Chalet is 11k's from Falls Creek. Totally off the grid it has 2 generators, a wood fired water boiler (Theodore) and a wood fired stove. You ski in on a Saturday, ski out the following Saturday and carry all the fresh food and booze you need for the week. Everyone takes turns cooking, chopping wood and keeping the place running throughout.
Days are spent touring the high-plains, or riding the tow rope. I've never seen snow conditions like this year before. Last year we dragged sleds full of power-kites over 11k's of unsealed road and firetrail. Then we waited all week for snow cover and wind which never came. This year, unbelievable cover, unrelenting wind, and not a power-kite between us!
When we woke up at Mt Beauty for the 7:30am bus I was afraid the dark greasy roads would mean rain-affected cover and a horror show ski in. Thankfully as we wound up the valley towards the trail-head at Falls Creek the rain turned to sleet, and finally to snow!
We used the Nordic shelter to get ready for the ski-in at Windy Corner, there was enough fresh on the road that the coach lost traction when it had to stop and restart for a parked car – business time!
On the way up to the Dam wall we came across the guys from last week heading out. Given the fantastic snow conditions I was really surprised to see many of them on snowshoes, not tele's. That they even had snowshoes with them was strange, but they were an older group. Evidently the wind across the dam wall and around the bank was the worst they'd ever seen. Frankly I didn't care, so long as there is cover and it's not raining on the ski-in I'll happily live with anything.
The trip in flew by. The dam was terrible, but compared to the sleds from last year, (and being on Tele's instead of a split-board), it was a fantastic run. Just over 2.5 hrs in, which wasn't too bad. I even got some aqueduct alone time, just when the sun started to peak out.
Post dinner drinks were taken in the kitchen. Note Ryan's scotch face. Katie is new to scotch and doesn't quite have it down yet.
Sunday morning always feels like the start of the week – hot cups of tea in bed by the cooks of the day (me), is entirely civilised, and a tradition of the chalet that makes life so much easier. The storm was still cranking outside, we'd had 10cm overnight, and there was still pumping wind through the valley – up high it looked even worse. Instead of "Ski-Skool" on Cope Hut Slope, we moved it to Wallace Hut, and taught Sarah to ski. (I worked on my tele moves too). After skool, the kids decided to head back to the chalet via the high-road and the home slope. I took Sarah back via the gentle slope and the aqueduct. The home-slope isn't as forgiving as it sounds - Sarah would find that out on Monday.
Monday was another rubbish day for touring up high, but we'd had enough of being cabin bound, so decided to head up to the Rocky Knobs. Plus, we'd caught 2 small (native) mice overnight (one was caught after it's night trip to my face) and we needed to rehome them. We headed up the valley to Cope Hut gate, I've never seen such polished ice, and I was wishing I'd packed my skins. I think it took about 1hr from the Chalet to the Gate, (ok, maybe 30mins), but man it was a slog. Once we were up on the high-plains we crept around the lee-side of the hills and found some really nice stashes.
And Cornices
Lunch was the typical Bogong affair; crackers, cheese, salami and dried fruit, along with mystery soup. Dan let out the mice, and I quickly learnt that my legs look like trees to a stunned marsupial. Lesson learnt.
On the way home we had a bit more ski-skool, but the wind was really taking its toll; Katie, Sarah and I were cold enough to call it a day.
We straight-lined it from Investiture Point, right down into the top of the home-slope.
Our Home Slope:
Sarah found a creek (target fixation much),
And then she got really good at traversing steep terrain
On Tuesday we finally had some good weather – Tour Day! We got our act together and hit the road for Pretty Valley Hut. It was beautiful, the wind had finally died down, the sun was shining and everything was like icing. We took the middle road – not down the valley, but up and over each spur on the way to the valley. Earning turns was actually really worth it!
From the dining room at dawn:
Groves of snow-gums
Snow Gum
And then, Pretty Valley. It really is!
Pretty Valley Hut:
After a long lunch we hit the road home. This time, we were down-hilling on the wind-blown drifts and skiing up the packed stuff. Perfect conditions!
On Wednesday I called destination "Mt Mattress". I think I was onto my 2nd book by Wednesday, I'd gotten through a Michael Crichton, Patricia Cornwell and (shame of shames) Stephanie Meyer by the end of the week. We dressed Grog up in Cyril and had some tow-rope action. The Chalet has its own tow rope, it's really very cool, this is just the middle third:
Thursday rolled around and Katie and I were ready for some distance. There's a myth in the chalet about people skiing into Falls Creek (ski resort), for a beer. Not that we didn't have plenty of beer and scotch with us, but with the high-plains being windblown again, we decided a trip along the aqueduct would be a good way to get some k's in, and to knock off one of the Chalet Myths. We headed out at 8am and after a brief stop to drop the kangaroo sized rat off at the Wallace Hut turn-off, we headed into the ski resort. There is something fantastically cool about hitting a groomed run after a 11k ski – and I did feel a bit bad-ass racking my skis next to snowboards. The beer was bloody good too.
After a stop at the bottleshop for some supplies (namely a case of beer and 2 bottles of champagne, which Rob, Ryan and Katie kindly carried), we headed back to the Chalet. 2:45 each way and we were home in time for dinner. Myth done! Unfortunately my feet were completely smashed with blisters and I was going to have another Mt Mattress day on Friday. Thursday night is party night, with Friday being an early night for the ski out on Sat, you gotta finish up your booze on Thursday – it's a chalet tradition. Rob was giving me a lot of shit about needing to sleep, and I think Katie was just trying to outlast me, but I was smashed from the 20+ k round trip to Falls, esp that because of the snow we'd had during the day we'd been cutting trail both directions in big big wind.
Mind you, there is nothing quite like a muscle bound guy from Essex being all up in your face at 2am quoting Arnie. Love it!
So Friday I licked my wounds (or more accurately, drained the blisters), and finished my 3rd book. Some of the guys did a tour to Strawberry saddle, but it was a bit of a non-event. For a week of fresh snow we really didn't do many epic trips, and I didn't stand on a single summit! Anyway, we decided to aim for the 8:30am bus at Falls Creek, so had an early night.
I love getting on the snow before dawn, soon Katie, Sarah and Rob were far ahead of me, and with Pete, Paul, Neil and Grog back behind me I got some k's in solo while the sun came up. Fantastic! Wish I'd taken a photo, I never do. The snow around the dam was groomed, unfortunately it was also rock hard, and requiring pressure right where my blisters were. So I was in the box for the last couple of k's. Soon enough we were sipping latte's at the oversnow terminal, and Bogong was done for another winter.
I'll say it. I've sneered at people's pasta choices in hiker shelters. Mostly just that muppet who kept dropping hints about her charitable time in Uganada, her marathon running and how she was generally fantastic, but then produced a 1kg bag of Bow-tie pasta for the group dinner. I mean, come on! Every hiker knows that while a bow-tie, shell or even spiral noodle has superior sauce holding properties that pasta's not going to make it past day 1 in a pack.
I've been in the spaghetti camp for decades. Especially spaghettini - the finer type. Bundle it up all in a row and slide it nicely down the side of your pack. Much like tent poles. But even Spaghetti has its downsides. I'm a 1-spooner. That long handled bad-boy does it all. Everything but pasta - you just can't eat noodles successfully with a long handled Ti spoon.
Until now! Ladies and Gentleman, hold on to your hats while I present:
It's pasta that looks like rice!
Having recently acquired a set of 2nd hand Outtabounds Crowns I've spent the past 2 nights cleaning them up. Tuning base & side edges, epoxying the chunks, using paint thinners to take off old tape and gunk on the top side, and then waxing to clean out the bases.
There's heaps out there on tuning resort skis. And lots on tuning cross-country 'skinny-skis', but not a whole lot on tidying up teles with pattern bases.
So, for the next guy or girl that is embarking on cleaning up some old backcountry tele's for prosperity, here's the lessons I've learnt.
Even waxless skis get filthy. You can do a hot-wax like on any old skiis. I mostly did this because the tuning kit I borrowed didn't have any cleaner.
Even waxless skis dry out. So you need to get wax into the base, even where the pattern is. I'd say, even more so with the pattern as the base has more surface area exposed by volume and so can dry out far more quickly. it's also more vunerable to the chipping you get when it's dried out.
This will create a problem though - getting the wax out of the pattern. The best way, hands down is to:
1. Wax that sucka up. Get the ski really warm and get the base to soak it right up.
2. Let it cool down, maybe leave it a night, so the wax inside has cooled.
3. Get a Heat Gun, and an old scratchy beach towel. And a willing husband for the extra set of hands to hold the gun while you wipe. Heat the surface of the pattern in a smallish areas until it goes opaque and then liquid. With a fresh section of towel, wipe across the pattern, i.e. edge to edge. This way you can take the wax out of the pattern without heating it out of the base itself. By not wiping down the ski you're not pushing it back into the deep pockets of the pattern. The stuff in the base should have cooled overnight.
4. Then treat the tip and tail of the ski as you would any resort ski. The base of a drill bit works a treat to get the wax out of the channel. It's homebrew, but hey, it works.
You're done. You can make another hot pass over the pattern with the heat gun and you'll see if you've left any wax on the pattern as it will colour up. The towel should have worked well - now you'll have waxy, glossy skiis, and a pattern with bite :)
The towel works better than a dremel, brush, anything. Without a proper heat gun you could probably use a hairdryer - you're heating the wax on the surface to get it out of the pattern, not the whole base. The iron itself won't heat well into the pattern depressions where the wax pools and so you loose the bite of the pattern before it heats the whole ski up. Wiping the wax with the towel before it's liquid results in gooey wax smear.
We headed down from Sydney on the usual Friday night run. After a slight hiccup caused by my smashed phone and Tim's sicky from work I met Tim & Hannah (Chapman siblings) and 'Steve', who I'd *never* met, but was a friend of the Chapmans. It took about 2hrs of driving before Steve worked out I was Christie with my madien name-we'd paddled the Hawkesbury Classic for the same Kayak club a few years earlier, it's a small world after all.
The weather was looking pretty bad on the BoM - High winds, low visibility and a thunderstorm for Saturday night. We figured we'd stick to the main range plan until the last minute, and then make a decision. A kindly tweet from @geoffmallo (he was down there with his kiddies) as we pulled into Cooma around 11pm confirmed rain at the Thredbo Diggings campsite, so we took the chance under the clear sky to pull out tents and headtorches.
The campsite was like soup. But was still the usual late night buzz of strangers pitching tents at 1am in the morning having just driven down from Sydney. It's always a fun mix of technical tents and k-mart specials too, means you can stand back and admire your rock solid tent, while also sneering at little domes bowing to the wind like a kneeling camel. While the Diggings is only at 1300m, the wind absolutely barrels down the valley and I don't think I've ever camped there without getting a pounding.
The BoM, Ranger and Snowcams at Thredbo Sat morning confirmed our suspicions, nothing up high was happening this weekend. Still, we packed like it was and headed to Thredbo so Tim could get a B&E roll, and we could have a few more people tell us it wasn't a good idea. Judging from the snow-cams, we weren't going to see much in the way of views (or pole-lines).
NB. @geoffmallo said it was a good idea. Something along the lines of, you guys have all the gear and all the experience - it will be a fun adventure so go. He then pulled away in his Forrester of kids headed for the magic carpet at Perisher. I think his idea of fun and mine is somewhat different.
While sipping latte's at Thredbo some skiers who'd already done runs from the top of the resort confirmed there wasn't much fun to be had up high. So we headed up to Dead Horse Gap, figuring we could pack one daypack between us, put on snowshoes and head up in the treeline until the weather got too bad. Possibly the heaviest and most unfun snow I've ever walked in at the start. Like a slushy with the added bonus of the odd shrub-punch-through. We headed up through alternating groves of snow gums and clearings, the wind reminding us what was on offer up high. At least the sleet started to turn to snow as we got a little altitude.
It was worth it though. Every now and then the snow and wind stopped, the sun poked through and we were rewarded with beautiful views through groves of Snowgums. And aside from one Snowshoer right at the start, not another soul.
Hannah and Steve went ahead, my cough still causing me a lot of grief (and fitness). Eventually Hannah and Steve found a nice protected spot for lunch and we stopped to admire the view.
In that moment the sun came out and we had views down to the Pilot. Lunch eaten we decided to head back down to the car. The temptation of the distillery was too much, and the idea of setting up camp at the diggings had certain appeal. Steve had a swap of his MSR Evo's for my MSR Lightnings (and did far too much running around), and on the final slope to the car Tim did a mad impression of an emperor penguin - face forward stomach slide down the chute my ass had just created. Once back at the car the others briefly checked out the cascades fire trail while I packed up, my cough was back with a vengeance.
We headed back to the Diggings and set up camp (again) in the daylight, got changed and made for the Distillery.
Wild Brumby has a lovely little fire and a huge still, and we settled in for the afternoon. After the first Pint Tim really wasn't too happy about being designated driver, and I figured with my flu I probably shouldn't drink much anyway. Hannah was drinking small amounts of high-alcohol drinks in little glasses. It's important to note that these weren't actually shots. Apparently it's her tenting process,
shots small drinks instead of beers means no midnight stops.
Some of our down-hilling friends also staying at the Diggings were headed to Jindy for Dinner, so we relocated to the Bowlo for dinner. Geoff and his kidtourage also joined us, unfortunately the combination of the kiddy-entertainment crayons and an afternoon of beers proved too much for Tim and he rose to the crayon-eating challenge. Once the adults are eating crayons and talking about playing big-game-buck-hunter it's time to take them home.
The next morning we headed up to the Perisher side of things after a bakery stop of course, and checked out Rennix walk. We've all driven past it a few times and figured it was a good chance to check it out. It was a nice fire-trail with some views back to the main range. Oh, and the sun had come out. By the time we were back at the car the dusting of snow had pretty much burnt off. I stupidly hadn't snow-sealed my new boots, and after wet feet on the june long weekend was paranoid about getting wet feet again. Which was silly, because it was only a day hike. But I wore my snowshoes far far far far longer than I really needed to. Like a chump.
Views out to the main range.
Again, my chest infection was really slowing me down, so I headed back and the others went on, evidently the higher you got the better the views.
We were back at the car around lunch, so headed down to Thredbo river and ate the Spag Bol we didn't eat for Sat night dinner. Full bellys, we hit the road back to Sydney.
A good weekend, but many more coffee's & beer's drunk to miles walked.

April 6 2014
Lutein is a carotenoid which has become popular
as a dietary supplement either by itself, or combined with zeaxanthin and other carotenoids,
herbs, and vitamins for the prevention of
visual disorders such as macular
degeneration or to help support healthy eyesight. Lutein and zeaxanthin play an
important role in the eye: they accumulate in the retina, where they form the
macular pigment, and in the lens. Their role is probably to filter out
phototoxic blue light and to quench singlet oxygen. Humans consume 1 to 3 mg per day and the lutein : zeaxanthin ratio in the diet is about 5:1.
Less than 30 of the thousands of carotenoids found in nature are found in the human body. These are present in the body from the foods or dietary supplements that humans consume. The body does not synthesize them. Among the carotenoids present in the body, only lutein and its coexistent isomer, zeaxanthin, are found in that portion of the eye where light is focused by the lens, namely, the macula lutea.
Food sources
Vegetables are the richest source in the diet. Lutein is found in many vegetables, fruits, herbs, and flowers. Good amounts are found in foods such as dark green leafy vegetables and egg yolks. Kale and spinach have high concentrations. Corn and collard greens also have it. Marigold petals have a high content.
Additional good sources in food includes the paprika fruit, loquat peel. The leaves and pods of the drumstick tree are used as food and medicine in some Asian and African countries.
Eyesight Rx will make you see better
during the day and at night, buy lutein supplement
Developed by physician Ray Sahelian, M.D., his website has a number of nutrition, natural healing, and health topics
Unlike some eyesight products that provide vitamins and herbs for long term healthy eyesight support, and prevention of visual impairment, but don't seem to have much of an immediate effect on visual acuity, Eyesight Rx was formulated to provide visual support and prevention, along with a noticeable eyesight improvement in a shorter period of time. Some people notice improvement within a few days, others may require up to a month to notice the visual enhancement. For better vision, we also suggest eating more cold water fish or for taking one to three fish oil capsules a day.
Reports from users indicate clarity of vision, colors being brighter, better focus, and overall improvement in close and distance vision. Along with the visual effects, many people notice being more mentally alert. What makes this formula unique is that the tablet can be melted under the tongue for a quick absorption of the nutrients into the bloodstream, thus bypassing the gastric and intestinal interference. After a minute or two under the tongue, the rest of the tablet that has not dissolved can be swallowed.

The benefit of
lutein and zeaxanthin for eyes
Their benefit is to absorb light in the blue-green region of the visible spectrum. In humans their roles are to improve visual function and to act as antioxidants in order to protect the macula from damage by oxidative stress. Of the many carotenoids circulating in human sera, only lutein and zeaxanthin are accumulated throughout the tissues of the eye. Within the eye, they reach their highest concentration in the central retina, where vision is at its sharpest. Lutein research studies suggest its filtering process serves to protect the retina from damage caused by light or oxidation. This 6 mg product is extracted from the marigold flower.
Benefit or age
related macular degeneration
Age-related macular degeneration is the leading cause of vision loss in aging Western societies. The macula is a small area of the retina that has the sharpest vision. With age, the macula degenerates leading to poor eyesight. Lutein supplementation appears to benefit. It is also helpful in retinal degeneration. Studies show higher dietary lutein and zeaxanthin intake reduces the risk of age related macular degeneration.
A comprehensive approach to macular degeneration would include several vitamins and nutrients. These would be vitamins C and E, beta carotene, zinc oxide, fish oils, low doses of alpha lipoic acid, and certainly the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin.
Benefit for
cataract treatment or prevention
Excessive sunlight exposure increases the risk for cataracts. Visual function in patients with age-related cataracts who received lutein supplements improve, suggesting that a higher intake, through lutein -rich fruit and vegetables or supplements, may have beneficial effects on the visual performance of people with age-related cataracts.
Lutein reduces oxidation of cholesterol.
Benefit for heart health and coronary artery disease
A meta-analysis of epidemiological studies indicates that high lutein intakes may modestly reduce coronary risk.
Head and neck cancer
Postradiotherapy plasma lutein, alpha-carotene, and beta-carotene are positively associated with survival in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
Nutrition and Cancer. 2010..
The aim of our study was to compare plasma carotenoids (i.e., biomarkers of fruits and vegetables intake) and tocopherols in 29 head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients. The patients' blood samples were taken at the end of radiotherapy. We observed that plasma lutein, zeaxanthin, alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, lycopene, and total carotenoids were significantly lower in HNSCC patients than controls. Among the patients, 18 died and 11 were still alive during median follow-up of 55 mo for survivors. We found a significant positive association between postradiotherapy plasma carotenoids (lutein, alpha-carotene, and beta-carotene) and progression-free survival in these patients. Increasing plasma carotenoid concentration should be done by increasing intake of carotenoid-rich fruits and vegetables, as other studies have shown either no or negative effects due to use of carotenoid supplements.
Epidemiological and laboratory studies indicate that a lutein benefit would be reducing the risk for prostate cancer.
Retinitis pigmentosa
In 2010, a study was published online in the Archives of Ophthalmology that offers new hope for the prevention of visual field loss in patients suffering from retinitis pigmentosa. In this study conducted by lead author Eliot Berson, M.D. (Berman-Gund Laboratory at Harvard Medical School), non-smoking patients aged 18-60 years with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) received either 12 mg of FloraGLO lutein or a placebo tablet daily. All patients received 15,000 IU/day of vitamin A and throughout the study period were advised to eat 1 to 2 servings of oily fish per week to increase their intake of long chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. During the 4 years of supplementation, a decline in visual field area was apparent in all patients. However, a significantly lower decline was observed in the group supplemented with 12 mg/day lutein, compared to the placebo group. The authors estimated that the benefit of lutein supplementation on the long-term course of midperipheral visual field among RP patients also taking vitamin A and eating an oily fish diet would be 3 to 10 years of protection against further loss of sight. No adverse effects of lutein supplementation were noted during the 4 years of supplementation. Retinitis pigmentosa is the name of a group of inherited eye diseases which results in poor night vision in adolescence, and the loss of side (midperipheral and far peripheral) vision in adulthood with tunnel vision as the outcome. As this disease progresses, patients loose their central vision by 60 years of age. For this study, DSM Nutritional Products supplied the lutein tablets which contained FloraGLO Lutein and used the Actilease®, technology in order to increase the bioavailability of lutein.Actilease is a registered trademark of DSM. FloraGLO is a registered trademark of Kemin Industries, Inc. DSM Nutritional Products is a supplier of vitamins, carotenoids and other chemicals to the feed, food, pharmaceutical and personal care industries.
Daily requirement
It has been estimated that Americans consume about 1 to 2 mg of lutein per day, although dietary guidelines of the US Dietary Association Food Guide Pyramid recommend closer to 5 mg a day.
Lutein dosage
Most supplements are sold in a dosage of 6, 10 or 20 mg.
Overdose, taking too much, very high dose
How do I know if I am taking too much of a lutein supplement dose?
Many people notice improved vision when they first start taking it. However, if your dosage is too high or you are taking pills too many days in a row, you may find your vision is not as sharp. If you take a break for a couple of days, you may find your vision improves as your retinal balances our and thins out the excess lutein that was provided as a supplement.
Your lutein supplement dosage
recommendations appear to be reasonable. However, I have come a product that has
100 mg lutein per capsule. They claim that people need 2 mg of lutein per kg of
body weight.
High dosages of lutein may disrupt the balance of nutrients in the eye and cause blurriness. Dr. Ray Sahelian, a highly respected physician, does not believe it is necessary to ingest more than 40 or 50 mg per week.
Additional benefits
Epidemiologic studies indicating an inverse relationship between xanthophyll intake or status and both cataract and age-related macular degeneration suggest these compounds can play a protective role in the eye. Some studies have also shown these xanthophylls may help reduce the risk of certain types of cancer, particularly those of the breast and lung. Emerging studies suggest as well a potential contribution of lutein and zeaxanthin to the prevention of heart disease and stroke.
Lutein and zeaxanthin for skin
Mice given a diet with both have less damage to their skin when exposed to UVB-induced photoaging and photocarcinogenesis.
Lutein side effects,
risk, danger
We can't find any research that points to any significant lutein side effects, however there could be some if too a high a dose is taken for too long. We am just guessing, but taking a very high amount could disturb the balance of carotenoids in eye tissue or other organs. It is best to keep dosage to less than 20 mg two or three times a week.
Lutein and bilberry benefit,
additional nutraceuticals
The benefits of bilberry and lutein rest mostly on their ability to provide substances that are beneficial for eye health and improved vision. Bilberry and lutein may benefit those who have macular degeneration or are predisposed to a cataract. Cavinton vinpocetine is helpful for improved blood flow to eyes, ears, and brain.
Limonene essential oil
Lucidenic acid is found in the medicinal mushroom ganoderma lucidum
Lupane is found in a number of herbs including frankincense.
Lupeol is found in common fruit plants such as olive, mango and fig.
Lupin kernel flour is high in protein and fiber
Lyc-O-Mato is a trademarked lycopene extract from tomatoes that has antioxidant properties.

Should fitness be foisted on you? Dan Papas finds resistance to multitasking gone mad. Walk and talk. A term heard around heavily trafficked corporate corridors, it's the meeting taken en route to the next meeting, a catch-me-if-you-can catch-up for the executive who's going places. But it's no longer the only way to talk in transit."When an email hit my inbox inviting me to a 'feeting'," says Dave Johnson*, a website technician for an investment company, "I was a little scared. When I opened it and read the details ... I was terrified."A feeting, in the new office lexicon, is the combining of a meeting with a walk, jog or run. A mobile meeting that will keep you informed and in shape all at once, it's coming to a city park or street near you."I didn't want to reject this meeting about a really important project," Dave says, "but combining it with a spot of exercise is not what I signed up for."I'll eat my expensive, non-fun-run-friendly shoes before I start taking meeting minutes with a stopwatch."If the idea of a feeting still seems foreign to the average office worker, an on-the-job jog makes perfect sense to an increasing number of cross-training multitaskers."Mixing exercise with work is on the rise as we find ourselves with fewer free hours in the day and work-life balance becomes harder to attain," says Lynette Benton, a health consultant with experience in designing workplace fitness plans. "When a healthy body and successful career seem impossible to achieve separately, the natural next step is to try to bring them together."Sport in the office no longer needs to be confined to a tearoom TV when the Olympics are on. Now, with the growing emphasis on workplace health and well-being, physical activity between nine and five is acutely encouraged."But how does this meld with the traditional office, an environment so sedentary it has a type of chair named for it? Business suits may have become less stiff through the years but is there really a place for business tae bo?"I could probably cope with a feeting or two and the occasional flyer for a health-based program," Johnson says."But just deleting all of my emails with subjects like 'jump!' 'move!' and 'sweat!' is exhausting."Being used to more-passive pastimes can be at the root of not wanting to get physical at work, but it's not the only objection a worker might make.Other factors can play a part, such as an attachment to personal boundaries. "Maybe my boss has his heart in the right place organising boardroom yoga at lunchtime," Johnson says, "but it's not his heart I'm worried about seeing while he's bend-and-stretching in Lycra."Excuse me if I find it hard to look you in the eye when I just looked you in the downward dog."Benton says it is important to keep a degree of separation from your colleagues "but there is also a lot to be said for getting to know those people outside of the work environment".Seeing colleagues in communal showers might not be to everybody's taste but can be avoided. More difficult to defend is the compulsory mixing of business with leisure."Team-building is a tough sell at the best of times," Johnson says, "but what sort of professional networks can you really build through a staff volleyball tournament?"For every team that finds itself bonded at the end of an obstacle course, there is one whose biggest obstacle is the fact that its morale will not be boosted at the same time as its metabolic rate.Benton agrees."Encouraging workers to build a healthy body and mind is important and it's admirable for a business to provide ways and means for people to do it," she says. "However, for it to be most effective, that access needs to be tailored to meet the needs of all employees and should take into account the fact that a workplace is filled with people whose levels of comfort and ability vary."And we'll let Johnson have the last word. "Footy tipping and the Melbourne Cup sweep are about as active as I plan to get," he says.*Name changed

|Phillies GM Pat Gillick doesn't plan to return after 2008
|Written by Admin
|Tuesday, 25 September 2007 13:34
``This is it for me,'' Gillick said in Tuesday's Philadelphia Daily News. ``I'll fulfill my contract. It's time to think about doing some other things in life.''
The longtime baseball man will be 71 by the time his contract is up. He wasn't immediately available to reporters before the Phillies played Atlanta.
Gillick's situation could affect manager Charlie Manuel, who is in the final season of his contract. Manuel has done an outstanding job keeping an injury-depleted team in the playoff race.
The Phillies were tied with San Diego for the NL wild-card lead and trailed the East-leading Mets by two games.
Manuel insists he's not concerned about his job status, and he won't talk about a contract extension until after the season.
``It's not about me,'' he said. ``It's about the team. I don't have to worry about anything else.''
Assistant GM Ruben Amaro Jr. is widely considered the most likely candidate to replace Gillick. Amaro's contract is up after this season, and he has interviewed for other jobs.
Gillick brought a winning pedigree to Philadelphia when he replaced Ed Wade after the 2005 season. His impressive resume as a general manager includes two World Series titles with Toronto, seven division championships and nine playoff appearances with three teams - the Blue Jays, Baltimore and Seattle. If the Phillies make it to the postseason, he'll be 4-for-4 guiding clubs to the playoffs.
Gillick has come under heavy scrutiny for a few of his personnel decisions. His biggest mistake was trading for Freddy Garcia last offseason. The two-time All-Star righty was 1-5 before needing season-ending shoulder surgery. Garcia cost the Phillies $10 million this season.
Gillick's two biggest free-agent acquisitions last offseason - third baseman Wes Helms and catcher Rod Barajas - didn't pan out, either. Both were relegated to bench duty down the stretch.
Some of Gillick's best moves involved utility players and relievers. Left-hander J.C. Romero, signed in June after he was released by Boston, has been the Phillies' most dependable reliever. Third baseman Greg Dobbs and outfielder Jayson Werth, both signed in the offseason, have been valuable role players.
