Triglycerides: Why do they matter?
Triglycerides are an important measure of heart health. Here's why triglycerides matter — and what to do if your triglycerides are too high.
By Mayo Clinic staffIf you've been keeping an eye on your blood pressure and cholesterol levels, there's something else you might need to monitor: your triglycerides. Having a high level of triglycerides, a type of fat (lipid) in your blood, can increase your risk of heart disease. However, the same lifestyle choices that promote overall health can help lower your triglycerides, too.
What are triglycerides?
Triglycerides are a type of fat (lipid) found in your blood. When you eat, your body converts any calories it doesn't need to use right away into triglycerides. The triglycerides are stored in your fat cells. Later, hormones release triglycerides for energy between meals. If you regularly eat more calories than you burn, particularly "easy" calories like carbohydrates and fats, you may have high triglycerides (hypertriglyceridemia).
What's considered normal?
A simple blood test can reveal whether your triglycerides fall into a healthy range.
- Normal — Less than 150 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL), or less than 1.7 millimoles per liter (mmol/L)
- Borderline high — 150 to 199 mg/dL (1.8 to 2.2 mmol/L)
- High — 200 to 499 mg/dL (2.3 to 5.6 mmol/L)
- Very high — 500 mg/dL or above (5.7 mmol/L or above)
The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends that a triglyceride level of 100 mg/dL (1.1 mmol/L) or lower is considered "optimal." The AHA says this optimal level would improve your heart health. However, the AHA doesn't recommend drug treatment to reach this level. Instead, for those trying to lower their triglycerides to this level, lifestyle changes such as diet, weight loss and physical activity are encouraged. That's because triglycerides usually respond well to dietary and lifestyle changes.
Your doctor will usually check for high triglycerides as part of a cholesterol test (sometimes called a lipid panel or lipid profile). You'll have to fast for nine to 12 hours before blood can be drawn for an accurate triglyceride measurement.
What's the difference between triglycerides and cholesterol?
Triglycerides and cholesterol are separate types of lipids that circulate in your blood. Triglycerides store unused calories and provide your body with energy, and cholesterol is used to build cells and certain hormones. Because triglycerides and cholesterol can't dissolve in blood, they circulate throughout your body with the help of proteins that transport the lipids (lipoproteins).
Why do high triglycerides matter?
Although it's unclear how, high triglycerides may contribute to hardening of the arteries or thickening of the artery walls (atherosclerosis) — which increases the risk of stroke, heart attack and heart disease.
High triglycerides are often a sign of other conditions that increase the risk of heart disease and stroke as well, including obesity and metabolic syndrome — a cluster of conditions that includes too much fat around the waist, high blood pressure, high triglycerides, high blood sugar and abnormal cholesterol levels.
Sometimes high triglycerides are a sign of poorly controlled type 2 diabetes, low levels of thyroid hormones (hypothyroidism), liver or kidney disease, or rare genetic conditions that affect how your body converts fat to energy. High triglycerides could also be a side effect of taking medications such as beta blockers, birth control pills, diuretics, steroids or the breast cancer drug tamoxifen.
What's the best way to lower triglycerides?
Healthy lifestyle choices are key.
- Lose weight. If you're overweight, losing 5 to 10 pounds can help lower your triglycerides. Motivate yourself by focusing on the benefits of losing weight, such as more energy and improved health.
- Cut back on calories. Remember that extra calories are converted to triglycerides and stored as fat. Reducing your calories will reduce triglycerides.
- Avoid sugary and refined foods. Simple carbohydrates, such as sugar and foods made with white flour, can increase triglycerides.
- Limit the cholesterol in your diet. Aim for no more than 300 milligrams (mg) of cholesterol a day — or less than 200 mg if you have heart disease. Avoid the most concentrated sources of cholesterol, including meats high in saturated fat, egg yolks and whole milk products.
- Choose healthier fats. Trade saturated fat found in meats for healthier monounsaturated fat found in plants, such as olive, peanut and canola oils. Substitute fish high in omega-3 fatty acids — such as mackerel and salmon — for red meat.
- Eliminate trans fat. Trans fat can be found in some fried foods and commercial baked products, such as cookies, crackers and snack cakes. But don't rely on packages that label their foods as free of trans fat. In the United States, if a food contains less than 0.5 grams of trans fat a serving, it can be labeled trans fat-free. Even though those amounts seem small, they can add up quickly if you eat a lot of foods containing small amounts of trans fat. Instead, read the ingredients list. You can tell that a food has trans fat in it if it contains partially hydrogenated oil.
- Limit how much alcohol you drink. Alcohol is high in calories and sugar and has a particularly potent effect on triglycerides. Even small amounts of alcohol can raise triglyceride levels.
- Exercise regularly. Aim for at least 30 minutes of physical activity on most or all days of the week. Regular exercise can boost "good" cholesterol while lowering "bad" cholesterol and triglycerides. Take a brisk daily walk, swim laps or join an exercise group. If you don't have time to exercise for 30 minutes, try squeezing it in 10 minutes at a time. Take a short walk, climb the stairs at work, or try some situps or pushups as you watch television.
It's also important to control diabetes and high blood pressure if you have high triglycerides and one of these conditions.
What about medication?
If healthy lifestyle changes aren't enough to control high triglycerides, your doctor may recommend medications that can help further lower your triglycerides. Usually, the focus of therapy is to lower high levels of the "bad" cholesterol (LDL cholesterol), before addressing high triglyceride levels. Medications to treat high cholesterol include:
- Niacin. Niacin, sometimes called nicotinic acid, can lower your triglycerides and your "bad" cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein, or LDL, cholesterol). Your doctor may prescribe a niacin supplement, such as Niaspan. Don't take over-the-counter niacin without talking to your doctor first. Niacin can interact with other medications and can cause dangerous side effects if you overdose.
- Fibrates. Fibrate medications, such as fenofibrate (Lofibra, TriCor) and gemfibrozil (Lopid), also can lower your triglyceride levels.
- Statins. If you also have low high-density lipoprotein (HDL, or "good") cholesterol or high low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or "bad") cholesterol, your doctor may prescribe cholesterol-lowering statins or a combination of a statin and niacin or fibrates. Because of the risk of side effects from statins, be sure to tell your doctor if you experience any muscle pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation.
- Omega-3 fatty acid supplements. Omega-3 fatty acid supplements can help lower your cholesterol. You can take over-the-counter supplements, or your doctor may prescribe a prescription omega-3 fatty acid supplement (Lovaza, Vascepa), as a way to lower your triglycerides. These prescription supplements may be taken with another cholesterol-lowering medication, such as a statin. If you choose to take over-the-counter supplements, get your doctor's OK first. Omega-3 fatty acid supplements could affect other medications you're taking.
If your doctor prescribes medication to lower your triglycerides, take the medication as prescribed. And remember the significance of the healthy lifestyle changes you've made. Medications can help — but lifestyle matters, too.

(and I don't even like guns!)
Thank you all! Nikon - sorry about the exif - I uploaded from an ipad
I use a Canon 40D and for this shot was running at 5.6 and 1/800. Took about 10 shots and this was the best (for me) of this particular gun.

Cafe Fiorello
Online Reservations
Always go there on my annual trip to NYC from Canada. Can't tell you how awesome this place is - I LOVE IT !!! Staff, food ,ambience and a TRUE neighbourly feeling. Want my name on the bar plaques but that is reserved for the regulars
We knew to avoid the theater scene and arrived for our reservation at 7:45. It is crazy during the pre-theater crowd and we found it amazing they could get so many people through during that time. Set expectations if you go during between 6-8. We were seated in a side room and the noise level was fine. Enjoyed our meal and give the restaurant a solid rating.
I took two of my daughters to the ballet. Fiorello was the no-brainer choice for lunch. I had requested a quiet table -- the noise level can be daunting -- and we were seated in a cozy corner away from the crowd. I appreciated that consideration.
Great menu items and allows substitutions from their appetizers galore.....
We had not been to Fiorello's in years, so it was good to see that it had not changed. The food was excellent, and the service was good and friendly. Thank you for not changing.
Outstanding food and service! our waiter, Daniel was attentive and accommodating! Ate here before the show at the Met and we wanted to stay longer! Too bad we didn't get to enjoy the dessert! Shared appetizers from grilled calamaris to shrimp and scallops salad. All very good. Entrees: Filet mignon (ok), seared sea bass (delicious) and veal osso bucco (melt in your mouth). Our drinks: Manhatttan and two La Primavera! Refreshing drinks and of course a bottle of Sta. Ana Chianti!!!
Even if it weren't the perfect location for Lincoln Center, Café Fiorello would still be worth a trip for their amazing selection of thin crust pizzas—not to mention their signature dish, not to be missed, fried artichokes a la Judea.
I went to Fiorello with my wife. We ordered Two pastas: for me, matriciana and carbonara for her. The food was very apreciable and the serviice good. For us latins you live in a hurry and I realize that this way in dinner hour disturb us a bit. However we know these differences that can't us to reach a very good time in your House. Thank you.
Had a great Veal Parm. that was huge and shared with my 12 year old grandson. Great place before Lincoln Center event or just for a fun night out.
We had dinner before a performance. I had the Bronzino, my wife had the lemon chicken. Both were quite tasty. Service was prompt and very attentive. We will probably return to try other dishes.
While I hesitated on booking for fear of being a tourist trap, this restaurant was quite active, but not tacky. It was quite busy and packed, but we were immediately seated for our reservation even though we were 15 minutes late. The clay pot snapper was delicious. The antipasto was beautiful and plentiful. The tiramisu was large and yummy (enough to share)! The price for this meal was a little beyond what we expected.
The pizza at Fiorello's is delicious and the portions are generous - one pizza is enough for two to share - with leftovers. This menu item in particular makes this restaurant kid-friendly. Great location near Lincoln Center.
Fun, dependable and terrific food even when it's bustling. Great energy from Lincoln Center and Jose, who greets you at the front.
Great menu selection, food is always delicious and staff is always attentive. Try the lump crab steak...YUM!!
We arrived early and we had diner outside, in the sidewalk tables with the vibration of the city included Service and food as excellent as always. The italian wedding soup is perfect. Highly recommended
We were a party of 6 from ages 44-73. We arrived a little late and the restaurant was very accommodating. Great food and nice lively atmosphere. We sat inside but they had a lovely outdoor seating area as well. Not too far of a walk from Times Square too! Would recommend it.
Wonderful restaurant right across from Lincoln Center. It is one of my go-to places to eat either before or after seeing something at Lincoln Center. This time I had the Tagliatelle Bolognese, which is the best bolognese I've had in a long time! Definitely save room for desserts, which are huge but delicious! I have always had a great experience here, and cannot wait to go back. Although I am usually by myself when here, there are many others in groups or pairs. The bar area seems very lively, but you can also tell there are others who have also come over from Lincoln Center. Plus, they are open late, so it's always nice to find a good restaurant that is still open around midnight. I highly recommend.
From beginning to end, we were treated well. Excellent food. Excellent service. Our waitperson was attentive, knowledgable and helpful in making a choice. Always love this restaurant as they are consistently good in all areas.
Still a good choice either before or after a performance at Lincoln Center.
I visited here three times. And everytime I was there, I was satisfied with food and atmosphere. I like pastas and pizzas especially. You should try this place once!
Consistently good. Always feel so welcome. With delicious food
Because it is so convenient to Lincoln Center, Fiorello's is a great go-to place. The food is consistent in quality with a few Interesting signature dishes. The tables are very small and close to one another so it tends to be noisy and claustrophobic. But the food is good, reasonably priced, and served in time to make curtain, so we'll return.
We were a party of three "school chums" looking for good food and time to chat; Fiorello's had it all. Flexible menu so you could tailor a dish to your taste. Ample selection to meet all tastes. Service was very personal and efficient. After eating we were left to talk and no one rushed us. The location is ideal for acces to all the Lincoln Center theaters.
Convenience to Lincoln Center is great. Food was good, service OK, but it was crowded. Would go back there, but would want to try other options first.
Good Italian food, good selection and all good tasting. Have been here twice and each time had something different. Both times a great experience. Can be a little loud but that doesn't bother me. We liked the energy.
We were in town to catch a show and were happy that we chose this place. The food was delicious and the service first rate. The tables are close enough that friends are easily made. We would definitely eat here again.
Food is consistently excellent, prices reasonable, and they know how to get you in and out when you have to be at a performance
Good food in a jam-packed restaurant across from Lincoln Center. Smiling helpful staff.
Made a reservation for a saturday night before attending the Metropolitan Opera. The restaurant was full and somewhat noisy, but we were seated right away, were very efficiently served and waited on. The food was very good, even though my mother thought the "presentation" could have been better on my risotto. The cheese cake for desert was probably the best I've ever had. My only two minor "gripes' were that the seating at the booth (for Forest Whitaker) was somewhat crowded and uncomfortable and that the men's room could have looked a little better..Otherwise, a great place! Thank you.
Our favorite place to go before Lincoln Center events. Very good food. Very professional service.
My partner and I had dinner at Fiorello after the opera, and we had such a delicious meal! The veggie antipasti would have been a great dinner in themselves, but we ordered the chicken paillard. That in itself was such a delicious choice; the chicken was pounded very thin and lightly grilled with olive oil and lemon and a hint of fresh parsley. All in all, a delicious meal with excellent service.
When we travel to New York for the Met Opera - our #1 go-to place is Cafe Fiorello. We nearly always sit at the bar where the waiters with jaunty straw hats serve our every need. The wonderful cold and hot food there on display is a meal in itself. We always order eggplant caponata and carmelized fennel. You cannot go wrong with any of the choices. Everything is made in-house including the wonderful Limoncello digestiv. We are so hooked, we have often eaten lunch and late-night dinner too. The paper thin crust pizza is out of this world as is the fresh house-made burrata cheese. Little known is that they serve brunch on Sunday.
After a 3.5 hour opera this past Saturday at the Met, we had reservations for Cafe Fiorello. Thank goodness, because the line was long getting in! We were seated in a quiet area of the restaurant and enjoyed the best service EVER…our water glasses never drained down more than halfway, and every one of our needs was met promptly and courteously. Our waiter made sure that we did not have to be out of the restaurant for a theater date when we sat down…excellent! Our food was spectacular…right-sized portions of eggplant parmesan and pasta, with a side of broccoli rabe. It was nice to be able to finish our meals without feeling like we were wasting food left on our plates. We even had room to share delicious cannolis! Will surely return!
The warm & wonderful greeting I received was delightful. "Hey Diane Is Here." Some much fun. Anyway, the service beyond excellent and really enjoyed our Sunday Brunch. My husband & I have been there for lunch and dinner but never Brunch. Must add this brunch again following a movie at Lincoln Plaza Cinema. -
We had a fabulous time at our old stand-by across from Lincoln Center. Cleber at the bar took fantastic care of us as we enjoyed large plates of very well prepared Italian antipasti and a nice bottle of Primitivo!
We went with friends on the evening of Thanks Giving. The food was very good. My friends had salads with their special burrata which was very delicate. I had the ravioli - or whatever name they gave to a kind of pasta that looked like big raviolis - which were very tasteful. The sauce was too oily. The only aspect, which is understandable but not agrèeable, is that we were received by the maitre that told us, right at the door, that due to the special date, we should place our order as soon as possible because they closed at nine. Well, they had accepted our reservation for nine ! But overall it was a nice experience.
We loved the 1 lb. order of mussels with lobster. Also, the bucket of chocolate mousse was the perfect desert experience!
Our last visit- we had some issues, but this time we were seated immediately in a pleasant booth. This was our first time having brunch, not dinner. It was somewhat crowded but our service was fine. The menu had ample choices and we enjoyed omelets which were very nicely done - we're glad that we returned and will be back to dine again.
we return again and again before the opera matinee. Great energetic treat with pleasing brunch menu. Great bistro atmosphere and food!
First time visit, pre-show at Lincoln Center. Totally yummy in a total din. Wine by-the-glass is served in a small decanter, and is a generous portion. I had read all about the special appetizer, Artichokes alla Guidea: not really sure what the hype was about there, but the Shrimp Scampi entree was just outstanding. And if you enjoy chocolate mousse, this is the place for you: an absolutely giant serving, at least 12 oz, is scooped onto your plate tableside, out of --I kid you not--a galvanized bucket. I love food, and could not finish this portion! Will I go back? You betcha!!
too expensive but service was impeccable and we had fun
Are you kidding, we having had or food yet!!!! Food took forever to get to the table on a Sunday evening at 6:30.
The antipasta bar is unique in this city and so delicious. So many choices that are prepared so well from hot dishes like meatballs to the sweetest braised fennel. The pasta is so fresh and cooked al dente and all the sauces and preparations quite tasty and special. Have been going there for years. The food quality is consistently very good.
We were celebrating the birthday of a good friend during our visit to NYC. The meatball pizza was a real surprise! The crust and the great taste. I had the diver scallops which were very good. My wife enjoyed the lobster salad, a very unique.
Everything about this restaurant is excellent or very good-warm greetings, attentive service Excellent food, a reasonable wine list, but the tables are too crowded, and the noise leve too high
You will have a terrific meal and the professional staff make sure that you get to your show on time.
Tried the place right before the Opera a tad loud for my taste but over all a great experience. Dustin our server made us feel welcome and after we ordered the food he just asked are you catching a show and said we had plenty of time. Did not feel rushed.
A lovely NY institution, across the street from Lincoln Center. The wait staff is incredibly well versed in dealing with pre-concert rush. A very fine menu, and it's a very convenient place for all occasions from intimate to professional outings.

Jaws Falls, or just plain "Jaws", is one of the nicest moderate ice climbs in the state. In the middle of the route, a big cave forms with teeth like daggers of ice hanging from its mouth. Hence the name. Thin, brittle ice leads up to the base of the cave. Climb out of the cave (crux) and cruise easier ground up and left to a big tree with rap slings. 170' If the ice conditions are thin. Alternate belays and variations to the climb can be found on the right. With 1 200' rope, you can rap from the tree at the top down to the ledge on the right. 1 more 90' rap will get you to the ground. 2 ropes would be safest. Park at the Fern Lake trailhead and hike west along the trail to Odessa Gorge. You can't help but notice Jaws on you right about 2 miles up the trail from the parking area in 2002. Information in some climbing guides will give distances based on a parking area further up the road, but this was closed to vehicle traffic in the winter of 2002. Use "Colorado Ice Climber's Guide" by Cameron Burns - 1997 or "Rocky Mountain National Park - The High Peaks" by Richard Rossiter - 1997 as an example of references. Enjoy.
Bring a rack of ice screws. If the ice on the 1st pitch is thin, bring a little gear.
Eds. Note, this climb can be quite variable if it is a sunny day. Beware, this climb has been known to fall down in less than a day. However, it does go into the shade in the later afternoon.
Sorry, but I forgot to mention the sun. If you find yourself basking in warm sunshine at the base of the climb, bear in mind that large, exciting blocks of ice will exfoliate from the upper part of the route from time to time.
When Jaws is thin, but still cold and safe, there can be a terriffic mixed line on the right side. Look for a cracky, corner thing through a steep bulge on the right side of the big curtain. You'll know you're in the right place if you get good pro. Short but very steep cranking off good tool placements in the crack lead to easier ground. Good pro, too. About M5-M6 when I did it.
I was up at Jaws yesterday 1/9/2003 and the bottom part of the falls is not in at all the top part is kind of in. You can hike around back and lower someone in and get about 50 feet of climbing or if you are a mixmaster the bottom would go.
In fat conditions (like winter 2007-08) this felt 3+, about the same as Pumphouse in Vail, but longer. Great route, it goes in a nice long pitch. Traversing over to the tree rap anchor at the top was a bit exciting as my last screw was way below me. There is a small, but decent ledge to traverse on, but I didn't find many good pick or hand holds.
As of Jan 2010, there is an intermediate anchor consisting of two beefy bolts in the rock 30m up. The anchor is on the left as you climb or rap.

The worlds of metal and hard rock will never forget what you've given us.
We've always known that the animation track differentiates between drums and cymbals, that much is obvious from watching the game. What people don't understand is that the animation cues are on a completely different MIDI track than the drum gems themselves. The two are not tied together in any way whatsoever.
Case-in-point: If you play That's What You Get (Paramore), you'll notice that during the chorus, you play only 8th notes on the hi-hat, because that's what Paramore's drummer played in the studio. The 16th notes on the hi-hat were added digitally in post-production, so were not included on the Expert drums chart. But what's the animated drummer doing? He's playing the 16th notes.
So yes, the animation track has plenty of different cues for making the animated drummer use the correct pieces of the kit. But the track where you place the drum gems does not.

I don't know how you go about learning songs, but when I read sheet music there's cymbals "charted" on there.
I'm not saying that playing Rock Band should be the same as reading sheet music, but to suggest that the "full experience of a drummer" involves no differentiation between when to play a tom or a cymbal is just silly.

Harmonix should chart accented notes and ghost notes.
Harmonix should chart proper sticking into it.
Harmonix should add a high hat pedal.
Harmonix should add extra cymbals and toms for some songs.

May 23, 2001: Ashley and JP Meet During The Bachelorette's Premiere
JP swept Ashley off her feet when he showed up without any props (just his smile, guys, just his smile) and told her how beautiful she was. Sigh, memories!
June 6, 2011: Ashley and JP Go On Their First One-On-One Date
JP and Ashley had a quiet date at her pad in front of a roaring fire — and yes, they made out on of terrifying animal skin rug while wearing pajamas.
June 27, 2011: Ashley and JP Go On Their Second One-On-One Date
Team Cupcake travelled to Victoria Peak outside of Hong Kong, where they chatted about their past relationships, "ate dinner," and made out to the dulcet sounds of vaguely ethnic music.
July 18, 2001: Ashley Visits JP's Hometown In Roslyn, New York
Ashley and JP went rollerskating in a terrifying (er, romantic) abandoned rink, and then settled down for a carb-filled evening with the fam-fam. Spoiler alert: everyone loved Ashley.
August 1, 2011: JP Proposes to Ashley In Fiji
After rejecting Ben Flajnik and his wine-loving self, Ashley accepted JP's proposal while standing on a beautiful beach in Fiji. We're ugly-crying just thinking about it.
August 6, 2011: JP and Ashley Host An Engagement Party In NYC
Ash and JP celebrated their engagement by hosting a big bash for their friends and family in New York City at Casa La Femme. Guests were offered cupcakes (duh), the room was filled with roses, and yep — there were belly dancers. Because why not?
March 28, 2012: Ash and JP Move To New Jersey
Ashley and JP decided to leave the Big Apple and move to Princeton, New Jersey (we know, fear) in order to get out of the city. Now, Ash commutes and hour to Philadelphia, and JP commutes and hour to New York! Let's just hope neither of them develop New Jersey accents.
November, 2012: Ash and JP Start Filming Their Wedding Special
Ash and her man were spotted around town with a camera crew in preparation for their wedding special on ABC. They even hit up Neil Lane's L.A. store to buy wedding bands!
November 17, 2012: Ash and JP Head To Arizona For Their Bachelor/ette Parties
Ashley, JP, and their BFFs flew to Arizona for a weekend of non-stop partying at the W Hotel in Scottsdale. Obviously, the entire event was filmed for ABC's wedding special. Thank god.
December 1, 2012: Ashley and JP Get Married!
Ashley and JP tied the knot in Pasadena, California, in front of 200 of their friends and family (including Emily Maynard, Ali Fedotowsky, Jillian Harris, and Sean Lowe). Ash walked down the aisle to Elvis' "I Can't Help Falling in Love With You," and she and JP recited their vows under a chuppah!
December 16, 2012: Ashley and JP's Wedding Special Airs On ABC
"The Bachelorette: Ashley and J.P.'s Wedding" will air Sunday, December 16 at 9 ET on ABC. And Chris Harrison is officiating!

Florence, Maria; Koch, Elize (Psychological Society of South Africa, 2011)[more][less]
Abstract: This research aimed to explore the differences between adolescents from a low socio-economic Cape Town community who use addictive substances and those who do not, with regard to subjective wellbeing. The Kidscreen52 was used to measure subjective wellbeing in a sample of 179 Grade 10 and 11 learners; 41.3% of the sample was male. Thirty-five percent of the adolescents reported to be substance users, with significantly more males reporting substance use than females in both grades. Scores on four of the sub-scales were significantly different for the substance users and non-users (namely Feelings, General mood, Family and home life, School and learning). A post hoc analysis indicated that males and females differed significantly on General mood, but that this difference did not interact with substance use.

Abstract: The absence of a suitable measure to assess the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of children and adolescents in South Africa, led to the use of the KIDSCREEN-52 questionnaire which was developed and standardised in Europe. The current study is part of a broader study conducted in the Western Cape, which used the KIDSCREEN-52 to explore the influence of exposure to community violence on the subjective HRQoL of a sample of South African adolescents. This study aimed to investigate the reliability and construct validity of the KIDSCREEN-52 in a South African context. The broader study employed stratified interval criterion sampling to select 565 Grade 9 learners, aged 14-18. Participants were selected from six public schools in areas specified by the South African government as comprising key nodal areas in terms of crime in the Western Cape. The dataset for the current study comprised all participants (N=565) of the primary study. As the initial step in validation of the KIDSCREEN-52 in South Africa, the current study examined its factor structure by means of exploratory factor analysis, using principal component analysis with oblimin rotations. It also assessed the internal consistency reliability of each of the scales, using Cronbach's alpha. Exploratory factor analysis extracted 10 factors as identified by previous studies, with some deviation in the loadings of the last three factors. Items of two scales ("Feelings" and "About Yourself") divided into three scales, and "Bullying" items were not sufficiently presented in the factor solution. Internal consistency of the measure was shown to be acceptable to good, with Cronbach's alpha values ranging from 0.76 to 0.81 for the 10 scales.

Amid the Neerlandia celebrations, a portrait of unity
Centenarian Anna Schuring cradles one-month-old Aliyah Viersen
They are divided by nearly 100 years, but for a few tender minutes last Saturday they looked as one.
As Anna Schuring cradled baby Aliyah Viersen, a portrait of human unity was created which captured the all-inclusive spirit of Neerlandia�s centennial celebration.
Every stage of the human life cycle was embraced in a three-day party that paid tribute to the hamlet�s pioneering founders and looked to the future with glowing confidence.
Anna, who turned 100 Tuesday, July 24, was born around the time the founding fathers were sailing from Holland to realize their dream of a better family life. Coming here in 1928, she was a member of a generation to build on the foundation.
Although Aliyah is only a month old, she is a part of that original dream, a dream of future generations prospering on the fertile land.
To Neerlandia parents Arnold and Melissa, of course, she is also a beautiful gift whose arrival helped make the celebrations even more memorable. They looked on as people in the sun-soaked Neerlandia Public Christian School grounds gathered to take photographs of Anna and the sleeping baby.
The symbolic photo op was thanks to Neerlandia Historical Society president Dave Terpsma, who wanted the youngest person at the event to meet the oldest.
Earlier, age and youth were fully represented during a spectacular parade of up to 50 floats that commemorated the pioneers. Many of those taking part were dressed in traditional Dutch clothing; some wore wooden clogs.
Old farming machines, tractors and horse-drawn carts abounded in testament to the hamlet�s rich agricultural tradition. One sign on a vehicle read, �Johannes Peters Sr. 1891-1979 This tractor was his car Suzie.� Another sign said �Froma Family.�
There were also plenty of antique cars, including Lambert Veenstra�s 1929 Model A Ford, 1967 Galaxy Convertible and 1971 F100. These were later displayed with several other classic models on the school grounds.
�I love the old cars, they were so simple,� said Veenstra. �They also look good. It�s just the starting that is a little more complicated.�
Also in the parade were MLA for Barrhead-Morinville-Westlock, Maureen Kubinec, Barrhead County Council, Barrhead Town Council and emergency vehicles.
Barrhead RCMP officer Con. Kirk Fisler headed the line-up, dressed immaculately in his Mountie�s uniform. His wife being Neerlandian gave the day greater personal significance.
Later he would take part in the light-hearted husband calling competition when the crowd heard some elaborate � and often shrill � ways to summon a spouse to supper.
What many would not have known is that Fisler had been on police duty the night before. He slept for about three hours before getting ready for the 9:30 a.m. parade.
�Actually it wasn�t a problem,� he laughed. �That�s all the sleep I needed.�
He was right, for he never missed a step. And he looked just as lively when he answered his wife�s call several hours later, emerging from the tent where the husbands were hidden.
After the parade the huge crowds that had lined the streets drifted into the NPCS grounds. On such a beautiful summer day, many took advantage of a concession booth serving juices and hot drinks, before deciding how to spend the afternoon.
One option was to go on a horse-drawn hayride through the hamlet or a bus tour of the homestead, something which continued through the day.
Dozens of children made a beeline for the water ramp, others had a go at throwing horseshoes.
Another option was to see demonstrations of pioneer crafts and skills in the school gym.
Alja Helmus was at one end of the room, seated at a rag rug weaving loom and wearing the traditional costume from Staphorst, a municipality and town in eastern Holland with which she has family ties.
In another part of the room, Sya Strydhorst sewed with a machine at least 110 years old.
�I learned to sew on this machine,� she said.
Several feet away, acting curator of Barrhead Centennial Museum, Sheldon King, gave demonstrations of rope making, an activity that fascinated many children, who helped with the process.
Outside, people began filling the bleachers and tent for the afternoon entertainment. After watching Dutch Kompen Dancing performances and a sheep shearing demonstration, they were treated to mutton busting, always a crowd favourite as youngsters tried for dear life to cling to a sheep (see Sports section).
Adding to the fun and mayhem were two clowns Bozo and Bubbles, who tried to ensure none of the rides ended in tears. Mostly, they were successful.
After everyone had assembled for a group photo, with the cameramen atop a scissor lift, the pioneer competitions began in earnest: log-sawing, nail hitting, laundry hanging, husband calling and arm wrestling, which attracted as many women as men.
In the beard competition Mike Visser walked away as the overall champion, sporting a golden crown.
Visser also won a separate category: he grew his beard in two months, faster than his rivals.
�I�m normally clean-shaven,� he said. �This beard will be coming off today.�
As the evening closed in people gathered for a fellowship services followed by a free beef-on-a-bun supper.
To members of the Neerlandia Historical Society it was a glorious end to a glorious day. Although it is hard to estimate how many came during Thursday evening, Friday and Saturday, the figure is believed to be thousands, not hundreds.
Board member Rose Olthuis said the event had seen many reunions of family members, old neighbours and former classmates. Some came from Holland for the occasion.
�We had a wonderful time in our community,� she said. �We enjoyed the event immensely and I felt it was very successful. The number of people who came exceeded our expectations.�
She paid tribute to volunteers who were willing to pitch in and make sure the event ran smoothly.
�I can�t say enough about the volunteers. They were always there when we needed them,� she said.
Olthuis said the celebration managed to sustain the terrific momentum it gained from Thursday�s Taste of Neerlandia. The wow factor continued with Friday night�s fireworks, the parade and supper.
�We were truly blessed,� she said.

I was a College School student at the time and remember Therese and Kitsy well. I also remember Jim Curran. He helped me and a couple of other guys (Jesse Cox and Steve Martin) form a band, though I don't think we had a name. It was one of my earliest organized musical experiences and it had a profound effect on me. In fact, I've been at it ever since.

The Abortion Industry's Greatest Fear: TRAP Laws
Preface: As a Christian, I believe that life begins at conception and abortion is an act that takes the life of a human being.

How can I disable the users to go out from the home folder. For example, I have a NTFS partition mounted under /media/ntfs
, so if the user logs in through ssh he can reach this partition. How can I disable the users to cd
out from their home directory?
Reassess your requirement first. What is the problem you are trying to solve? Why do you want to prevent users from leaving their home directory? Isn't it rather that you don't want them to nose around in specific other directories -- such as the home directories of other users? It is very difficult to prevent users from leaving their home directory. It is actually a bit silly, too (explanation follows). It is much simpler to prevent users from entering directories you don't want them to enter. First off, yes you can give users a so-called restricted shell, see The next step up is a root jail. More info on the community wiki and in this question. Though a root jail will lock a user inside a walled garden, within which she has access to nothing but the files and commands that you put there, root jails really are intended for isolating untrusted software rather than users. In particular, they are for software that needs to run with elevated priviliges -- hence a root jail. A user, on the other hand, is trusted: he has had to authenticate and runs without elevated priviliges. Therefore file permissions suffice to keep him from changing files he does not own, and from reading things he must not see. World-readability is the default though, for good reason: users actually need most of the the stuff that's on the filesystem. To keep users out of a directory, explicitly make it inaccessible: PS: Why locking users in their home directory is a bit silly: Users need access to commands and applications. These are in directories like | |||

Queen City Royalty Powerhouse and Princess produce three young
XENIA, OH – The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife biologist will be banding peregrine falcon chicks at their nest site located at the PNC Bank building in Cincinnati May 27, 2010. The banding will take place at 10:00 a.m.
Powerhouse and mate Princess are once again parents. The popular Queen City pair has produced three chicks at their downtown Cincinnati nest. Princess now 12 years old was originally hatched at a site in Wisconsin. She has spent each nesting season in Cincinnati, although not always at the same nest site. Powerhouse has been her mate since the 2006 season. He's an Ohio native and was hatched at the Cleves nest.
Division of Wildlife biologists will outfit the three week old peregrine falcon chicks with state and federal identification bands. Additionally, blood samples are taken to monitor the genetics and possible contaminants in the birds.
The Division of Wildlife has confirmed a total 34 nesting sites throughout Ohio. Nesting locations include tall city buildings, bridges, steel manufacturing companies, grain processors, and power plants.
Ohio's peregrine falcon program is supported by the state income tax check-off program, donations to the Wildlife Diversity & Endangered Species Fund, and sales of the cardinal license plate. Donations can also be made via the Internet at ohiodnr.com/wildlife. License plates may be purchased from local deputy registrars or by calling 1-888-PLATES3.
Matching federal funds are provided through the State Wildlife Grant program for this project and other wildlife diversity efforts of the Division of Wildlife that target species of greatest conservation need.
For more information about peregrine falcons and nesting locations across the state, go to: http://ohiodnr.com/wildlife/dow/falcons/Default.aspx .
Members of the news media wishing to attend the PNC banding in Hamilton County are requested to meet in the building's lobby at 9:30 a.m. to be escorted to the banding site. The PNC Bank is located at 1 W. Fourth Street, Cincinnati, OH 45202.

Recipe by ally-gator
"A great spiced cake with caramelized brown sugar on top, this coffee-house style treat is perfect for the cooler months during which fresh pumpkin is in season."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1/3 cup whole milk
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
Delicious, easy to make and different than other coffee cakes!
I don't know what to think about this cake. I made it because I like that it fit in a 9x9 pan and I didn't have to scale it down. The cake part had a nice and perfectly seasoned flavor. The only change I made was using 1/4 tsp. of pumpkin pie spice for the allspice. The texture of the cake was a just a tad rubbery and both crispy on the bottom and sides. the center pieces were good. The sugar topping was kind of odd to me though. It melts into the cake and is gooey, really sweet, and the color somewhat of chocolate. I think I would have preferred this with a crumb topping for appearance sake and it would probably be a little less sweet too.

I made this with two changes. I used white sugar in the batter and I used 2/3's cup of whole wheat flour in place of part of the white flour. The rest I did exactly as written. I baked it in a clear glass pan and it was interesting to see what the brown sugar topping would do while baking. It did bubble up and coat the sides of the cake. The cake came out well. Tastes great warm, not as great when cool. Although it is ok, I would probably not make it again, it isn't particularly special.The cake part is heavy, and the brown sugar part is very sweet.
This turned out really well - served it to friends who loved it too. One change I made was I used half white flour and half whole wheat flour when mixing.
I don't know if I did anything wrong. I followed the recipe, except baked it in a 9" round spring form pan (could that have made a difference?) The cake turned out very dense and rubbery, almost tastes uncooked. I actually made 2 for my son to take to school. He said no thank you.
Made this last night. Everyone loved it and can't wait to have it again. I used a rectangular pan instead of square only because that is what I had available- ill continue to use it from now on.

Governor's request for individual disaster aid rejected
On Wednesday, Federal officials rejected Minnesota's request to financially help individuals affected by last month's floods in the northeastern part of the state. Gov. Mark Dayton said he will appeal the decision.By: Morgan Bartlett and Jana Peterson, Pine Journal
On Friday, July 20, Governor Mark Dayton arrived in Cloquet to listen to reports of flood damage in the area due to last month's storms. Cloquet was just one of his stops that day; he also visited Carlton and Thomson. The biggest question on everyone's mind was regarding the potential for state and federal aid for individual homeowners and businesses.
Monetary assistance for damage to public infrastructure is coming, Dayton said, but federal aid for individuals might not happen as easily.
He was correct.
Five days later federal officials rejected Minnesota's request to financially help individuals affected by last month's floods in the northeastern part of the state.
"It has been determined that the damage to dwellings from this event was not of such severity and magnitude as to warrant" establishing federal programs to help individuals, Administer Craig Engate of the Federal Emergency Management Agency wrote to Dayton Wednesday.
Within a few hours of receiving the rejection letter, Dayton directed Homeland Security and Emergency Management Director Kris Eide to appeal the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) denial for individual assistance for recent floods in northeast Minnesota.
"I believe this was the wrong decision, and I am deeply disappointed. We will begin working on an appeal immediately," Dayton said.
Earlier this month, the governor did secure a major federal disaster declaration for 13 Minnesota counties and three tribal nations following severe storms and flooding that struck areas of the state in June. The preliminary damage assessments revealed more than $108 million in costs and damages to public infrastructure in Aitkin, Carlton, Cook, Crow Wing, Dakota, Goodhue, Kandiyohi, Lake, Meeker, Pine, Rice, Sibley and St. Louis counties as well as the Fond du Lac Tribal Nation, the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe and the Grand Portage Tribal Nation.
The federal disaster declaration provided assistance to state and local government and certain private non-profit organizations for emergency work and the repair or replacement of disaster-damaged facilities. This applies within the counties in the disaster area.
City of Cloquet Director of Public Works Jim Prusak was among several officials and business leaders who reported on damages during the governor's visit. According to Prusak, the worst public infrastructure damage was done on Reservation Road.
"Their washout was 150 feet wide and 30 feet deep, and that damage was done in about 30 minutes," he said.
Wednesday's denial by FEMA was for individual assistance that would have provided federal grants to individual citizens and private businesses who have suffered damages or losses not covered by insurance.
According to Eide, about 1,700 homes were affected by the flooding regionwide.
Brian Belich, Carlton County Emergency Management director, expressed disappointment at the FEMA denial but said he wasn't necessarily surprised because county officials had been cautioned from the beginning that the benchmark for individual aid was pretty high.
"That's where the long term recovery committee will come in," he said. "It won't fill the gap, but it [the committee] will become all the more important in meeting unmet needs."
Cloquet City Administrator Brian Fritsinger was hopeful that the state would come through for residents and businesses.
"From the city's standpoint, everyone was hoping some level of aid would come through for the individual homeowners and businesses that were impacted by the flood," Fritsinger said, noting his disappointment with the decision by FEMA. "Hopefully the state will come through with some aid. I'd say the door isn't fully closed until after [the special session]."
Prusak said the city is working to get FEMA assistance as well as assistance from the state level.
Still, public assistance is one story, aid for homeowners is quite another. Although a declaration for public aid has already been made by the President, claims from individual homeowners worry Prusak most of all, he said, adding that most of the insurance claims in the region have been denied.
"Those are the people I honestly don't have an answer for and feel worst for," he said, noting that his office received an estimated 50 calls from residents about property damage in the week following the storm. He estimated that, in all, more than 200 homes were affected in some manner.
The Legislature is expected to meet next month to approve funds for local governments' storm work, but lawmakers usually do not appropriate funds for private citizens or businesses.
Friday's visit was Gov. Dayton's fourth visit to the Northland to survey and discuss the flood damage. The Governor had nothing but praise for how things were handled and how people pulled together to help each other in their hours of need.
"That's the Minnesota way," he smiled. "I'm proud to be a Minnesotan."

Behind The Numbers: Marvel's 'More Diverse' Avengers
By Arturo R. García
While Marvel Comics seems intent on doubling down on racefail within the X-Men titles, the new writer guiding portions of the company's Avengers line has been promising a more diverse line-up.
As Kendra noted in her New York Comic-Con preview, Jonathan Hickman has gone on record as saying he wants half of his eventual 24-member cast to be comprised of PoC or women.
"One of the first things we all agreed on is that the roster should look more like the world," he told Comic Book Movie.com. Looking at the line-up thus far, that "or" is a troubling distinction on what would otherwise be an admirable effort to follow through on his pledge.
Let's start with the three covers shown above, which can be seen in more detail here. From left to right, the PoCs shown on the roster are:
- The shadowy figure in the back of the left-hand cover has been confirmed to be Eden Fesi, an Aboriginal hero who appeared in Hickman's Secret Warriors book.
- Moving to the cover in the middle, not only has team stalwart The Falcon been added to the mix, but Sunspot, a core member of the New Mutants, has been promoted, along with Cannonball (seen in flight on the left-hand cover).
- There do not appear to be any POC on the cover on the right-hand side, even though Iron Man's armor there looks a lot like War Machine's.
- It has also been confirmed that Shang-Chi will eventually be added to the cast.
Notice any group not represented?
That's right. There's as many white women as there are PoC in that triple cover. But no characters who are PoC and women, a wound that rubs deeper when you see Carol Danvers continue to get fast-tracked to the company's movie platform, Monica Rambeau be damned. So counting Shang-Chi, Hickman's math currently stands up–barely. Here's to hoping things turn for the better for women of color–not to mention LGBT characters–under Hickman's pen, because the situation seems bleak in at least two more Avengers books.
Right now T'Challa, now established once again as The Black Panther, appears to be the only PoC character in Hickman's New Avengers series, which will focus on the latest iteration of the secret super-cabal known as the Illuminati.
Joining him as diversity stand-ins will be both The Beast and The Sub-Mariner, the latter of whom most recently seen drowning a third of the population of T'Challa's home, Wakanda, in the critically-panned AvX cross-over, which pitted the Avengers against the X-Men for the purposes of…well, who the hell knows at this point. So, that will probably be awkward.
That said, it's still a better representation than Rick Remender and John Cassaday's Uncanny Avengers, a title spawned directly from AvX:
Brunettes! Blond white guys! Canadians! Smell the diversity, amirite?
Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie's upcoming take on Young Avengers seems to get back on the right side of things:
That's former teen villain America Chavez, a.k.a. Miss America, at the top of the cover above, joined by same-sex couple Wiccan and Hulkling. So far so good, other than this interview with the creative team where Chavez is continually called "Miss America Chavez" and described as having "a temper." Well, of course. One more reason to worry: should one of these characters need to become cannon fodder, how secure is Chavez's position compared to Hulkling/Wiccan, Noh-Varr and the reincarnated Kid!Loki? (Although there is the possibility that Loki will be returned to his adult persona in order to maintain corporate synergy with his movie counterpart.)
In a bit of sad irony, though, Hickman's public embracing of diversity suggests a wider field of awareness than the company's recent handling of the X-Men, which doesn't appear to be letting up soon, seeing as how the company's big move on that front is doting on a version of the five original X-Men…the ones from 1963.
It's either cynical or hopelessly optimistic that they're being featured in a book called All-New X-Men, but writer Brian Michael Bendis is playing the "Because You Demanded It!" card.
"That's the thing X-Men fans always say they want," he has said. "You go anywhere–'Bring back Jean Grey!' But they don't want a reincarnated Jean Grey, and they don't want a dug-up Jean Grey. They want Jean."
I'm willing to bet a fair number of fans also want Storm–and not just chained up on the cover of Wolverine's latest series. Luckily, Sam Humphries and Ron Garney seem to have picked up on that, based on the cover to the relaunched Uncanny X-Force:
Here we see Ororo at the center of a cast that's almost entirely comprised of cisgender women, with the male members being Puck, who is a dwarf, and Bishop, the time-bending PoC and former X-Man. (Psylocke, of course, is problematic in her own right.)
So while it's still early, and there's definitely gaps in his Avengers roster, Hickman's statements at least represent a potential change of pace from the company's past takes on diversity as "contrived." But the key question moving forward then becomes: how many of these PoC characters will Hickman and the company be prepared to promote on multimedia platforms?
"One of the first things we all agreed on is that the roster should look more like the world"
So… majority Asian, right? With about 15% whites?

While I'm glad the Avengers roster will be more diverse I wonder will those minority and women characters get the same amount of attention as Iron Man, Captain America and Thor. Because while its good that they're there, I hope those minority characters won't be used just as tokens and mere window dressing. Also I'm surprised that with all the talk about AVX very little has been said about the Storm/Black Panther break-up. I wonder if Hickman will address it at all in New Avengers.
They were discussing Carol Danvers on another forum and someone said that with the death of the male Captain Marvel in 1982, that "freed up" the name for Danvers…. Grr…
And the movies are somehow even worse.
Hopefully they go and put the Falcon and Black Panther in Avengers 2. Or someone badass like Shang-Chi or the Ultimate Wasp. -
They have made attempts at promoting ethnically mixed characters such as Miles Morales as key stars in recent storylines.
And we've talked about Miles Morales as a good moment for the company in previous threads. But in the current structure, comics are the base-level of representation. It limits the potential good a character like Miles can provide when the Spider-Man animated series still deals with a white Peter Parker.
The wedding you may have missed in Astonishing X-Men which got heavily promoted.
If I missed it, it's probably because we've been drowning in two years of hype about Scott and Logan playing Edward and Jacob, supplanting Charles and Magneto's tug-of-war. At every turn, it's two white men at the center of a story about racial acceptance.
I'm not sure what you're exactly looking for to be honest. A gay, Iron Man in the next Marvel movie?
Actually, I'd like Jim Rhodes to get his own series of some sort. Does that sound irrational to you?
And what would be wrong with a gay Iron Man, anyway?
Why not go back to school, study comic book art, graduate, get a job at Marvel/DC (or publish independently) and create your own gay superhero? Archie Comics created Kevin Keller, after all, and look how that turned out.
Thanks for the derail, but:
1. What indications are there that there aren't writers and artists looking to do just that for the Big Two?
2. Yes, Archie Comics did just that – which makes it look worse for the Big Two when the movies are the tail wagging the comics dog.
