Its a pretty common scene in a bar or club on any given Friday or Saturday night. One, maybe two, guys are eagerly chatting up the hot girl with the cocktail in her hand. Theyre trying their best to be witty, to be charming, to do anything to potentially win her affections even using each others best lines.
Until now, however, no one considered that mice might be doing the same thing. But they could be. In fact, theyre probably more aggressive about it. Male mice dont stop at pleasant conversation. Theyll chase a female while singing to her and trying to smell her.
Strange as it all may sound and it does defy conventionally held beliefs about the ability of mice to talk Erich Jarvis, Ph.D., neurobiology associate professor at Duke University, and his team have discovered that mice may have some of the same brain features that humans and songbirds use for vocalizations and pitch changes.
Its accepted dogma that humans and songbirds are the only beings that have the four brain areas needed to produce vocalizations, said Jarvis, who is also a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator. Based on our research, we believe mice have more limited versions of these behavior and brain traits.
The HHMI, National Science Foundation, and the National Institutes of Health funded Jarvis research.
The findings indicate that male mice may be able to learn how to change their vocalizations to match another male mouse.
If correct, scientists may be forced to reconsider a belief theyve held for 60 years that vocal learning is unique to humans and a small cadre of songbirds.
The experiment
With his former grad student Gustavo Arriaga, Jarvis used gene expression markers, which lit up neurons in the motor cortex the part of the brain involved in planning, control and voluntary movement of each mouses brain while they sang.
When these song-specific neurons were damaged, the mice couldnt keep their songs on-pitch or consistently repeat them, verifying their connection to vocalization.
In addition to the markers, the team injected a tracer to map the signals that controlled the songs as they migrated from neurons in the motor cortex to the brainstem and on to the larynx muscles. According to Jarvis, this direct channeling from motor cortex to larynx was the biggest surprise and puts into question whether these projections in mice work the same way as in humans and birds: Can mice learn vocalizations?
To make this determination, the team first had to record the sounds mice make. They placed a pair of male mice in a cage with a single female to prompt communication and used a 4-inch high-sensitivity microphone to capture the sounds. The powerful microphone was necessary because mice speak at a frequency between 30 and 40 KHz too high-pitched for humans to detect. Humans hear sounds between 14 and 15 KHz.
Jarviss team monitored 12 pairs of male mice over an 8-week period to see whether they began to imitate each other or the pitch of their songs converged. They conducted the experiment twice, and by the eighth week, he said, the less-dominant mouse had modified its song to emulate the dominant male.
By digitally modulating the recordings to a frequency audible to humans, the investigators demonstrated that, by the end of the experiment, the male mice had virtually identical songs.
The mice were changing their pitch so the smaller animal matched the song of the larger male, Jarvis said. This is a simple form of imitation its pitch. Until now, it was thought that they didnt have this ability for vocal learning.
The controversy
Not everyone agrees with these findings, however. Kurt Hammerschmidt, a vocalization expert at the German Primate Center, is reticent to fully accept that mice can be true vocal learners.
The problem, he said, is that Jarvis team simply didnt analyze a large enough number of mice.
Fewer animals is OK in neurobiological studies because we know anatomical structures found in one animal are also present in other animals, Hammerschmidt said. But with behavioral studies, we need more animals to look at motivation, arousal and experience.
Hammerschmidt and other scientists worldwide have conducted experiments similar to Jarviss and have not replicated his findings. Hammerschmidt also disagrees that pitch convergence alone indicates that mice are vocal learners.
All other studies focused on male courtship songs failed to find any evidence that learning is involved in the development of these vocalizations, he wrote. None of all other terrestrial mammals, except humans, are able to produce new sounds.
Future implications
Additional research is needed, Hammerschmidt said, to verify whether Jarviss findings are correct.
If Jarvis and his team are correct, though, these findings could impact both science and health care.
Although mice dont have the same speaking ability as humans have, understanding their potential capacity for vocal learning could shed light on how speech works in people, as well. It could open the door for further research into the brains circuitry and the basic principles of speech, Jarvis said.
The greatest impact of this research, however, could be its effect on neurological disease, he said. In particular, autism is the brain disorder that has the biggest impact on speech, and the NIH and Congress have invested millions to study the causes and biological makeup of this condition.
In these studies, investigators have been able to take the gene variant from a child with autism and put it into the mouse genome, but theyve been unable to pinpoint which area of the brain is affected. This research eliminates that limitation.
Now, we have the brain pathway for them to look and play around with, Jarvis said. It could open the door for some gene drug therapy on this part of the brain or help determine how we can affect the whole system.

Calif. ballot measures would transform elections
LOS ANGELES How Californians cast their votes in future primary elections will depend on what they decide Tuesday at the ballot box.
One of five measures before voters, Proposition 14 would scrap the political primary system in favor of an open contest in which only the top two vote-getters would advance to the general election, regardless of party affiliation.
Early returns showed Proposition 14 leading 61 percent to 34 percent, with 9 percent of precincts reporting.
It is one of three propositions that would amend the state Constitution.
Voters overwhelmingly adopted Proposition 13, a measure that would exempt earthquake-safety improvements from property taxes.
Other ballot measures ask Californians to experiment with public funding of political campaigns, impose voter oversight of public power and authorize insurance companies to charge higher rates to drivers who have not always carried car insurance.
The open primaries measure has pitted the state's political parties against Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has long argued that centrist candidates rarely win primaries dominated by party activists.
Schwarzenegger's campaign committee has donated $2 million to support the effort while the California Chamber of Commerce has given $720,000.
The campaign's public face has been Lt. Gov. Abel Maldonado, a Republican who as a state senator last year leveraged his budget vote and agreed to raise $13 billion in taxes if lawmakers agreed to put Proposition 14 on the ballot.
The Republican and Democratic parties describe the measure as the result of a backroom deal. They say well-funded special interests will have the greatest sway over the selection process if candidates are not required to compete in partisan primaries. The result: Candidates would be beholden to donors, not voters.
Third parties also fear their candidates will be shut out of general elections if the measure passes because minor candidates typically draw fewer votes. The Green and the Peace and Freedom parties have run television ads opposing Proposition 14, but their fundraising has been dwarfed by backers of the measure.
The measure is patterned after a law in Washington state that has been in effect since 2008. Louisiana has a similar open contest for its general election and sends the top two vote-getters to a runoff.
The other election-related measure, Proposition 15, would open the door to public funding of political campaigns in California after a 26-year ban.
With 9 percent of precincts reporting, Proposition 15 was trailing by 55 percent to 45 percent.
If approved by voters, candidates running for secretary of state in 2014 and 2018 voluntarily could agree to limit their spending in exchange for as much as $2.3 million to compete in the primary and general elections. Additional money would be available to candidates if competitors or special interests spent more money.
California's largest utility has poured the most money into a proposition on the primary ballot. Pacific Gas & Electric Co. contributed $46 million to Proposition 16 in a ploy to stymie competing public power agencies from expanding into new territory and to discourage municipalities from starting their own utilities.

I need to vent! Honestly can't anymore with clients and their lovely phrase: Can you give me discount?
I got an inquire last week. The client called me asking how much I charge for my cakes and asked straight way for a discount... I said I can't give a discount. As I was on my way to a trip abroad, I politely told him to write me an email and I could answer him as soon as possible. Looked like he didn't like it but I'm sorry, I'm not going to pay 3,00 euros per min. for his long phone call when he can write me an email explaining everything.
By the way, he is a friend of one of my clients who ordered 2 cakes in the past and actually she was the one contacting me initially asking for a cake for him...She said his friend would like to have a cake for 8 people... I said that I make minimum size for 10 people. And she said: "Ok, I cc this email to my friend, so he knows it's a minimum of 10"
Can't understand why he didn't contact me initially...
To make it short, he sent me a picture of a cake he wanted. The picture was: 2 tier cake, with modeled girl, many flower, huge number 2 on the top and other things.
What he wanted: the cake as on the pic. for 10 people....
I wrote him a huge email explaining that I don't make 2 tier cake for 10 people. I can do it for a minimum of 30 slices and I suggested to have 1 tier cake, telling him it would look very similar, just one tier difference. .
He wrote me back saying it was fine and pleased if I could make it with rainbow colors (the original cake is pink). I said fine, no problem with rainbow colors and told him how much the delivery fee would cost.
From our last email that was yesterday morning until today afternoon I got 8 phone calls from different numbers. I did not answer, I'm abroad and I don't want spend my salary receiving phone calls. If the person calling wants something will let a message on the answer machine.
Anyway he writes me an email saying that he tried to call me several times and said: " I just wanted to know if you could make the cake on the pic. for 25 slices and if you could give a discount if I pay cash?"
I asked myself if he understood what I wrote him on my previous emails. Honestly, I can't with it.
Do they ask for a discount when they go to the restaurant, for example? NO! What they do? They go to the restaurant they know they can pay for. Same thing with cakes, go to the baker you know you can afford.
I'm really thinking to drop down this order and just say: I'm sorry I don't give a discount. Here is a list of other bakers, you can contact them and see which one suits better to your budget.
I also tought to ask him about his budget, but honestly, for someone who initially wanted a cake for 8 now wants a cake for 25, I'm not sure if he knows how much he wants to spend on his cake, he has no idea...
I'm sorry for this long post. I just needed to "talk" to someone

I'm on my second week of my lifestyle change. I lost 13lbs the first week and hope to keep it up this week by loosing 10lbs. I have been more focused this week on the food intake and the exercise.
I'm disappointed with my area not having any good long distance trails. The longest I can find is the nature trail at LBW which is 1.8 miles long. No wonder 40% obesity rate in Alabama. Nobody has put forth the effort to create the bike trails or walking trails. We don't even have that many side walks in the city.

When I think of spring, it reminds me of the Walt Disney movie Bambi. Mid-movie, Bambi the deer's close friend, Thumper the rabbit, teases Bambi about being "twitterpated". Thumper then meets his love match in a cute girl bunny who nuzzles her bunny nose into his bunny neck. On love's cue, Thumper's big rabbit foot automatically starts thumping wildly.
If I had to describe how spring makes me feel, it would be Thumper's wildly thumping foot. Therefore, in honor of Thumper and all the wonderful feelings spring elicits, I have invented the new word "twitterpation".
Twitterpation (noun): The rebirth and renewal of our sexual senses in the extremely finite time between the cold of winter and the sweltering heat of summer. As in, "I'm in twitterpation."
Spring fever is a real and researched fact. Over thousands and thousands of years, our bodies have innately tuned themselves into the natural rhythms of Mother Nature.
Sanford Auerbach, MD, director of the Sleep Disorders Center at Boston University, did some research on the topic and found, "When seasons change, the retina—the inner layer that connects to the brain through the optic nerve—naturally reacts to the first subtle signs in the amount of daylight. This reaction triggers hormonal changes, including an adjustment in melatonin."
Explained with less medical terminology, we get giddy when there is more sunlight outside. During the dull months of winter, many of us suffer mild forms of Seasonal Affective Disorder. When the sun comes out, we get that necessary vitamin D to help lift our moods and our lethargy disappears. As well, the sunlight helps raise our testosterone levels. Testosterone, in case you don't know, is the hormone that can have a major impact on our sexual libido.
There are many other subtle, built-into-your-hardwiring cues that put the pedal to the metal and gets your engine revving.
Spring means people dress with less clothing. Out of necessity, in the cold of winter, we cover up head-to-toe in heavy, clunky clothes and the only skin exposed is our face, neck and hands. Granted, a great set of calf hugging winter boots can set many a man's heart a flutter; however, it is nothing compared to the impact of spring.
Come spring, your dreary clothes are tossed to the side to reveal skin. And a lot of it. Even if you don't dress provocatively, you are most likely to wear shorts, tank tops and sandals. Instead of just your face, neck and hands being exposed, it now becomes that plus your arms, legs and feet. That's at least 60 percent of your skin's surface.
How does showing more skin non-sexually create twitterpation? When a woman is ovulating and has a biological need to be impregnated (can you say her "horny day", boys and girls?) she will unconsciously show more skin to attract a would-be suitor. So the sudden burst of skin at the first buds of spring is way over the top crazy for the average guy.

What's next for Celtics, Mavs?
The slow starts don't mean much, but neither team's title odds are very promising
One of the amazing things about this crazy, condensed NBA schedule is how quickly narratives can change. Remember how high we all were on the Sacramento Kings after they knocked off the Los Angeles Lakers in their opener at raucous Power Balance Pavilion? Well, the Kings promptly lost three straight and DeMarcus Cousins nearly groused himself off the team. Then, with Cousins sitting home in Sacramento, the Kings went and won a road game in New Orleans and found themselves tied for eighth in the West. Now Cousins in back with the team. All of this happened in the last week.
A few days ago, all and sundry were ready to write off the Dallas Mavericks and Boston Celtics. After Dallas dropped a two-point game at the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday, the Mavs and Celtics stood 0-3. Were they too old? Had there been too much roster upheaval? Whatever the reason, it seemed clear that the teams that account for two of the NBA's last four championships were done.
Except, they weren't. This happens every season in every sport. Fans, writers, analysts, broadcasters and even the teams themselves love to draw grand conclusions from limited evidence. It's just human nature. We're constantly searching out the next big story and if we have to fictionalize one out of a handful of results, then fine -- it's all we have right now.
It shouldn't be at all surprising that things are looking rosier for the Mavericks and Celtics this morning. Dallas beat Oklahoma City handily on its home floor Monday to win for the second time in three outings, the loss coming at Minnesota against a Timberwolves team that is going to be a handful for anyone visiting the Target Center. Boston has won three straight after beating the lowly Washington Wizards at home Monday, and that came with rookie Greg Stiemsma starting at center. The winning streak coincides with Paul Pierce's return to the lineup, which probably tells you as much as you need to know about the Celtics' early struggles.
However, even as we look into why it's too early to read much into both teams' slow starts, it's worth noting that neither team's title odds look particularly promising at this point -- just as they didn't to start the season.

Amazing! Hope to see more pics in future.
Published April 25, 2014
The SpaceX Dragon capsule successfully linked up with the International Space Station, as pictured on April 20.
Launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on April 18, the capsule, photographed by an astronaut aboard the space station, is loaded with 5,000 pounds (2,200 kilograms) of supplies. (See "Future of Spaceflight.")
Those include boring things like food, but there's also a laser, an experimental space garden, and a set of legs for Robonaut 2, a humanoid robot that lives on the space station.
The capsule will remain linked with the space station until May 18, at which point it will fall to Earth, splashing down in the Pacific Ocean off southern California.
Star Trails
Stars shuffle in arcs above an abandoned Soviet building in a long-exposure picture taken in Tallinn, Estonia, on April 21.
Submitted to National Geographic's Your Shot photo community, the picture shows so-called star trails, which are the result of a long exposure and Earth's rotation. (See another picture of star trails.)
Glittering Galactic Quartet
Four galaxies shimmer in a photograph released April 23 by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, the result of a new collaboration between amateur photographers and NASA.
Clockwise from the upper left, the galaxies are M101 (the "Pinwheel," in the constellation Ursa Major), M81 (also in Ursa Major), Centaurus A (home to a massive jet erupting from its central black hole), and M51 (the "Whirlpool," in Canes Venatici).
Data from Chandra (pink-purple) and the infrared Spitzer Space Telescope (red) have been overlaid onto optical images from two astrophotographers.
Project Morpheus
Engineers get ready for a test flight of NASA's Morpheus lander at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on April 24.
Designed for vertical takeoff and landing on the moon or asteroids, the lander runs on green propellants, oxygen and methane.
During the April 24 test flight, this prototype soared to a height of 800 feet (240 meters) before simulating a hazard-avoidance maneuver and autonomously touching down on a dedicated pad at the north end of the shuttle landing facility. The flight lasted 98 seconds. (See "Rare Pictures From the Dawn of NASA Spaceflight.")
Alaskan Green Sky
Northern lights blaze in the skies over Alaska on April 18 in a photo submitted to Your Shot. (See National Geographic's aurora viewer's guide.)
Auroras are caused by charged particles smashing into Earth's atmosphere; because they're charged, these particles travel along Earth's magnetic field lines, ending up at the North and South Poles. There, the particles collide with atmospheric atoms, including oxygen, which produces the green lights.
Airborne Falcon
SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket pulls away from the launch pad in Cape Canaveral, Florida, on April 18.
The rocket delivered the Dragon supply capsule to Earth's orbit. Dragon later docked with the International Space Station. (See pictures of the space station's observation deck.)
Star-Studded Twists
Moonlight illuminates a gnarled, ancient bristlecone pine in Aurora, Colorado, on a picture submitted to Your Shot on April 22.
"My goal this night was to juxtapose the twisted limbs that were gradually sculpted by winds over countless centuries against ephemeral clouds that were shaped by the same force in mere seconds," photographer Joseph Thomas said with his submission.
loved the pictures
Too good!
awesome pictures
Perfect angle Joseph, a work of art!
outstanding-photo just the way you planed it ---and the way i love it.thank you.
I can sense contact has been made with other planets - after all they've been trying to do just that for over 100 yrs - what is the latest news.
Seeing those photos, and understanding that each one of those Galaxy's contain Billions and billions of stars each, makes you wonder how we could have ever thought there was no other life out there. Life out there is been given billions and billions upon billions upon trillions of chances to exist. There is no possible way we are the only ones. I can sit here and tell you with odds like that, other intelligent life is a fact of pure mathematics. Pure and simple.
lovely photos, well done to the photographers
Awesome report and pictures, love them, thanks.
I love astronomy, and National Geographic.
Amazing very beautiful, http://andromeda-lady.blogspot.com enjoy...
wonderful sights
I find those beautiful images of galaxies and stars give me a comforting feeling of insignificance.All the beauty that's out there and still left on earth, maybe we can yet get it right...
The northern lights will be on the increase for the next year or so as the sun peaks in it sunspot cycle. It has an aprox. 11 Year cycle of highs and low sunspot activity that is just peaking. Some of the stronger storms allow the lights to be seen as far south as Florida and the Bahamas and sometimes even further south. Just keep an eye out, You never know when they will light up the night sky.
My dream before I leave this life...to see the Northern Lights! That Bristlecone Pine is pretty awesome too! To think, it's probably been here for a couple thousand years or longer!
@Liane McFarlane you took the words right out of my mouth ! well put !
I couldn't have said it any better! Very nicely put.
@Chrissy Coffman I hope we are blessed with those beautiful sights in the future

Genius is 99 percent perspiration and 1 percent inspiration.Thomas Edison
Our moments of inspiration are not lost though we have no particular poem to show for them; for those experiences have left an indelible impression, and we are ever and anon reminded of them.Henry David Thoreau
Most of life is routine - dull and grubby, but routine is the momentum that keeps a man going. If you wait for inspiration you'll be standing on the corner after the parade is a mile down the street.Ben Nicholas
The dearest possession a man has is his family In the divine assurance that family ties may transcend the boundaries of death, and may continue throughout endless ages of eternity, I find supreme consolation and inspiration.David McKay
Inspiration is never genuine if it is known as inspiration at the time. True inspiration always steals on a person; its importance not being fully recognised for some time.Samuel Butler
Never tire, never falter, and never fail.George Walker Bush
The value of old age depends upon the person who reaches it. To some men of early performance it is useless. To others, who are late to develop, it just enables them to finish the job.Thomas Hardy
Never look down to test the ground before taking your next step; only he who keeps his eye fixed on the far horizon will find his right road.Dag Hammarskjld
Is life so wretched? Isn't it rather your hands which are too small, your vision which is muddled? You are the one who must grow up.Dag Hammarskjld
There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.Paulo Coelho
A craftsman knows in advance what the finished result will be, while the artist knows only what it will be when he has finished it. But it is unbecoming in an artist to talk about inspiration; that is the reader's business.Wystan Hugh Auden

If you ever have to make a choice between learning and inspiration, choose learning. It works more of the time.Lois McMaster Bujold

The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being. His heart withers if it does not answer another heart. His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration.Pearl Sydenstricker Buck

is protein stalling ketosis
In an attempt to starve the cancer cells in a tumor, I've moved on to ketogenic approach instead of my usual low carb. I'm using a publication written by Ellen Davis and is based, as far as I can tell, upon the work of Dr Seyfried, author of "Cancer as a Metabolic Disease: On the Origin, Management, and Prevention of Cancer". However, I'm having difficulty achieving ketosis. Perhaps the problem is one of these: 1) too much protein although I'm at the bottom of the acceptable amount for my desired weight or 2) my sugar still bounces up to 140 at times even though the carb grams are below 15 daily.
Will blood sugar going that high for a few hours keep me from ketosis? Is that level just giving my body more sugar to use for energy? I can use more insulin, but don't want to because of the risk of hypoglycemia. Or the protein can be lowered to less than 50 grams daily, but I'm not sure that would help if the cortisol is the problem.
I'm sorry this is so long, but your input would be more than appreciated. This is really bothering me.
My first and most important question is how are you determining whether you're in ketosis?
So far, I have only the urine strips, but have ordered the precision xtra meter.
The strips indicate that I'm not getting rid of any extra ketones. I'm also concerned because my blood sugar ranges from about 75 to occasionally 140 with the 90's being the norm right now.
I'm losing weight pretty quickly, but the ketogenic diet acts as a diurectic, so I'm not convinced that any loss is due to fat loss. I've been working on this for about 10 days.
I'm glad you ordered the meter, because the ketostix are notorious for giving false negatives, and I wouldn't count on them in general, and especially not when it's this important.
I too would calculate my protein range and stick to the lower end of the range until you get the meter and strips. Keep to very minimal carbs.
You have no idea how your reply is appreciated. I looked at my food diary again tonight and net carbs were a little under 20. But I can go lower, at least for now because I really believe that ketosis may help in reducing the tumor size.
It can help to keep your protein down. If I don't eat enough fat, which seems to be a lot more that the majority of people on LCF, I will not be in ketosis. A fat fast for me will get me into ketosis, but then I can't vary what I am eating much more than that.
I've no advice but wanted to wish you well and hope your dietary change helps. My mum suffered from cancer - diagnosed 3 times with different tumours and diet was never thought to be a factor at all. Glad to see times have changed.
I too want to wish you well. I'm glad you ordered the Precision Xtra, and if you continue to by the sticks, they are much cheaper from Canada.
I did my first no carb day yesterday, as an experiment, and you should definitely give it a try. A few days no carb, and then you might find adding in a small salad is all you need.
I don't know what that diet tells you to do, but you can do it. Please keep up informed.
I cut my morning egg (cooked in Kerrygold butter) from 2 down to 1 this morning and added a little extra butter. One food item that I believe was problematic was dill pickles. Good grief, those things were causing carb creep.
Amazingly, what I've done so far has stopped cravings. How wonderful.
Thank you for your interest. I see my surgeon today and oncologist tomorrow and will report back. but, they have to realize that this diet is my chosen way of eating and there is no backing down.
Please keep us posted about how you're doing.
Melody (Aomiel) has had fantastic success lowcarbing with diabetes. You might want to search the threads she has started in the main lobby--- tons of great info. She follows Dr. Bernstein's diet, which advocates the lower side of moderate for protein amounts.
Although some researchers say that is no evidence that exercise will make one lose weight, I do believe it will help control blood glucose. Must get motivated to do more walking while cutting carbs down to nothing. There goes the cauliflower and cheese. But, so worth it.
Removing carbs is tough but, I think the appropriate phrase would be, "nothing tastes as good as living feels".
Good luck with you journey, and please keep us unformed of your progress.
I saw the surgeon on Thursday and the oncologist on Friday. There is a chance that chemo won't be called for and that thrills me to no end! We won't know until after the surgery.
Getting into ketosis is quite difficult for me still probably due to a pancreas that barely works and the use of insulin to keep BG low, but not dangerously so. It's a balancing act. I'm starting the zero carbs today. Yesterday, I could tell that hubby was yearning to eat out again like we've always done, so we went to Cheddars. I ordered nothing off my diet, but the green beans and shrimp definitely had sugar in them. Beeeeg mistake. Won't do that again.
I like your phrase, there, "nothing tastes as good as living feels". May I quote you?
I'm happy for your good news about, possibly not needing chemo, that would be great! I imagine having to take insulin is a real challenge to NK, my biggest advantage is preventing insulin from being released. So, you'll be challenged, but, You Can Do It!
Following through with the medical experts with your care and taking care of your self nutritionally, emotionally and spiritually, you will be doing all that you can do. Keep up the great work, Jane!
It's still a pain for me to get into ketosis, but I keep on trying. Maybe I should have been a research scientist. Anyway, my Lantus has been split into two half doses in an effort to keep BG more stable. It's difficult to decide what to do as too much protein can raise BG as well as too many veggie carbs. So for now, it's back to induction where perhaps I'll lose enough weight to push BG down further, lessen injected insulin and perhaps finally see ketosis.
I'll see the plastic surgeon this Thursday and maybe have surgery date soon. It still seems that a ketogenic diet is a wise alternative or adjunct therapy for cancer.
And in April's words, "nothing tastes as good as living feels".
You are so smart to go ketogenic in an effort to starve out your cancer. There is some great research that supports this. You may have already read this study but I will link it in case not...
PLOS ONE: The Ketogenic Diet and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Prolong Survival in Mice with Systemic Metastatic Cancer
I am a 58 yr. old woman, 5.3.5 inches and have been eating around 50g of protein per day for over a year now. If anything, I have more muscle and strength than 4 yrs. ago when I first began Atkins. I think the formulas that calculate protein amounts are not designed to consider age, sex, health and mostly diet. Eating virtually no carbs may be the key to less protein.
Please let us know how you are doing?
I know that having insulin dependant diabetes makes it much harder but I think it can be done. As someone else pointed out, Dr. Bernstein is the expert in that department and I would highly recommend his methods. He is a type 1 and has outlived his life expectancy by many years. He is pretty incredible.
Bernstein is a hero in my opinion. I've read 2 of his books and he's the one who really got me on the path of low carb.
I am finally having some success. Blood glucose goes up with intermittent fasting for me, so that's out. And eating every 3 hours is impractical, so that is out. What has finally worked is eating 3 meals a day with no snacking. Blood glucose is staying below 100 now and required insulin dosage has decreased. Hopefully , this will be a challenge for the cancer cells.
I'll have surgery next week and then will find out if we go to chemo or radiation after that. I don't think I can get out of treatment at this point, but hopefully, there won't be enough sugar to feed another tumor that could be lurking undetected.
Glad you're finding success. Good luck with the surgery and aftermath. Please keep us posted when you can.
I'm not losing one bit of weight right now, but do believe that my body will give up poundage soon.
Wonderful progress! Good luck with your surgery and please come back here and let us know how you are doing? Sending you positive vibes for a complete recovery!
Do you have a plan for Vitamin C supplementation and adequate protein after surgery?
We're pulling for you, and for good news. :)
Yes, I meant after surgery. Because C is water soluble, it would just be peed out if you took too much, and not helpful beforehand. I would definitely restart it as soon after surgery as you can. Protein is also crucial for healing. Though there isn't agreement on how much more is needed, there is general consensus that it is necessary. The good thing is that you already know how much your body needs, which means you're a step ahead of most Americans.
After one of my surgeries, the wound simply would not close (I was bleeding for weeks). My surgeon recommended that I add zinc sulfate to my supplements as well. I did. I didn't research it, which is totally out of character for me, but I'm sharing that recommendation with you, just as a point of information.
Maybe there will be success sometime soon. Ever seeking, ever tweaking, I ate 2 scrambled eggs with a small jalapeno for breakfast and 5 small green olives, another pepper, and 1 ounce of beef for lunch. Yikes, BG had reached 149 by that time (good old cortisol at work). But about 4:00, I checked again and BG had dived down to 92. I was elated because VLC or intermittent fasting has done nothing but raise blood glucose. What I'm hoping is that by eating this way, maybe BG will start to stay down in the mornings. Perhaps ketosis is just around the corner. Kiss that cancer good-bye!
Surgery is over
It was a long day yesterday , but oh, so worth it. All went well. The surgeon told DH that he couldn't find any evidence in the lymph nodes, but of course, the pathology will have to confirm that. The plastic surgeon removed about 10 pounds from the breasts and that is such good news to me. No one argued about my ketogenic diet. Except for cancer, I'm pretty healthy Still haven't reached ketosis, but haven't given up, yet. This diet will eventually cause more weight loss. Wonderfully, it makes surgery recovery go quite well. I can now fast some without crazy BG spike, so progress is being made. Aren't we all fortunate that we have found this way of eating!?
So glad the surgery went well. All our best in this acute recovery phase. :hugs:

Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
Fantastic theme park. Great rides and studio tour. Must do especially if you are into theme parks and even if not. Highly recommend The Transformer ride, studio tour and Shrek. Recommend getting there early.
Incredible day at Universal! Must see event,use whole day for it!
Very intersting tour. Need to be there at least 2 days to see all.
Louise Oakley
United Kingdom
This was amazing. We upgraded to VIP tickets once we got there ($300 per person) which was well worth it. We were part of a small group (around 8 people) who were lead around the park and the attractions with front of the line passes. We didn't have to queue for any rides. We were also given a buffet breakfast and gorgeous buffet lunch which was amazing. We were also taken on an exclusive tour of the studios (20 in the bus) rather than the 300 people on the regular bus tours. We were also able to walk on the sets which was very special.
Great day out. The Universal tour is a must. Highlight of the day.
Need the full day to see everything. Opens at 10, closing time varies. Check website.
Take a hat.
We had so much fun!! Just like if we were kids
Aurélia M
A must do. Loved it!!
Absolutely loved this place, not one for rides but these were on another level compared to the UK. The main reason for our trip was the Transformers ride as my husband is a huge fan and we weren't disappointed! We didn't bother with queue jump tickets and the top time we waited was about half an hour for the Simpsons. Food was reasonably priced but some places queues took ages like the coffee shop. We also got directed to Valet parking which cost us 30$, it was our first trip to America so it won't happen again! Just watch out as I realised when we were out of the car the attendant was directing cars to self and valet, could probably spot the tourists!
A must do while in LA, do not bother ugrading to the first in line tickets as the rules have changed. No long wait lines like disneyland so it is a good day out with older kids.
Good time there!
We loved it.
Drove ourselves. Good deal for ticket prices. We had a fantastic day.
save alot of time

Best Walk in Urban Sprawl Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach 2011 - Plantation Heritage Park
1100 S. Fig Tree Lane
Plantation, FL 33317
Heritage Park, all 88.5 acres, used to be owned by Fred Peters, the shoe scion who basically designed Fort Lauderdale's original western suburb, Plantation. Then it was an agricultural testing ground for the University of Florida. But in 1984, it became what it was always meant to be — a beautiful oasis in the middle of suburban Florida. It's there that nearby residents can jog or walk around the huge lake — which is always stocked with plenty of birds to watch and paddleboats to rent. Numerous and huge picnic areas dot the lake and are popular for large family reunions and company retreats. For the kids, there's a huge playground that'll keep them happy for hours. That's the beauty of Heritage Park — everything there is big. Mostly it's just a big open space in the middle of bustling suburbia. And that's a heritage that Plantation and its founder, Fred Peters, can be proud of.

- Military History and Affairs: World War II
Franklin D. Roosevelt famously called December 7, 1941, ?a date which will live in infamy.? History would prove him correct; the events of that day'when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor'ended the Great Depression, changed the course of FDR's presidency, and swept America into World War II. In Pearl Harbor, acclaimed historian Steven M. Gillon provides a vivid, minute-by-minute account of Roosevelt's skillful leadership in the wake of the most devastating military assault in American history. FDR proved both decisive and deceptive, inspiring the nation while keeping the real facts of the attack a secret from congressional leaders and the public.
Pearl Harbor explores the anxious and emotional events surrounding the attack on Pearl Harbor, showing how the president and the American public responded in the pivotal twenty-four hours that followed, a period in which America burst from precarious peace into total war.
About the Author
Steven M. Gillon earned his Ph.D. at Brown, taught for several years at Yale and Oxford, and is now Professor of History at the University of Oklahoma, as well as Resident Historian for The History Channel. He is the author of numerous books and articles on modern American history and politics, including The Kennedy Assassination—24 Hours After and Ten Days That Unexpectedly Changed America.
James T. Patterson, Professor of History, Emeritus, Brown University
"Pearl Harbor is a first-rate book by a fine historian. Steven Gillon, closely describing FDR's reactions to the Japanese attack, reminds us of the shrewdness and skill of Roosevelt's leadership. Both erudite and fast-paced, this is a book for scholars and general readers alike."
Robert Dallek, Presidential Historian
"Steve Gillon's Pearl Harbor is a masterful account of how Franklin Roosevelt responded to one of the greatest crises in American history. Gillon's compelling narrative provides a fresh look at a seminal event and reminds us of why FDR enjoys standing as one of the country's greatest presidents."
Tony Badger, Paul Mellon Professor of American History, Cambridge University "In this compelling account of the day that will live in infamy, Steven Gillon brilliantly evokes the peaceable White House and unprepared nation that were thrown into chaos and confusion on 7 December 1941. Gillon highlights the 'deadly calm' with which Franklin D. Roosevelt responded to one of the most significant events of the twentieth century and set the United States on course to be a military and economic superpower."
Randy Roberts, author of A Team for America: The Army-Navy Game that Rallied a Nation
"Steve Gillon begins his dramatic tale after the final bombs exploded on December 7, 1941. As President Roosevelt gathered information, he began preparing for his greatest moment, when with one speech he would have to unify the Americans and take them into war. We know what happened. But as Gillon demonstrates, we don't know the whole story. In a book that reads like the best fictional political thriller, he takes the reader on a minute-by-minute, hour-by-hour hell of a ride."
Jay Winik, author of April 1865 and The Great Upheaval
"Pearl Harbor is a heart-stopping, harrowing account of one of the most fateful days in America's history. With great verve, Steve Gillon has written a superb book, one that is at once fresh, compelling and fascinating. It should proudly stand on the bookshelf for all World War II buffs and scholars."
William E. Leuchtenburg, author of In the Shadow of FDR: From Harry Truman to Barack Obama"A remarkably gifted writer, Steven Gillon holds the reader spellbound in his vivid account of the hours following the surprise assault on America's Pacific naval base. He is no less compelling in his riveting revelations of Franklin D. Roosevelt's response. They give us a fresh appreciation of the dexterity, creativity, and wiliness of FDR."
David B. Woolner, Senior Fellow and Hyde Park Resident Historian, Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt Institute, and Associate Professor of History, Marist College
"In this fascinating account of the first 24 hours after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Steven Gillon manages to capture not only the essence of perhaps the most critical day in twentieth century American history; but also the essence of the man who stood at the center of it all—Franklin D. Roosevelt. A brilliant piece of investigative history, Pearl Harbor tells us a great deal about the character of the President who, though unable to walk unaided, brought the United States safely through the two great crises of the modern era, the Great Depression and World War Two. This is a must read for anyone who wishes to gain a complete understanding of FDR and the nation he led."
Neal Gabler, Senior Fellow, Lear Center, USC
"In Pearl Harbor Steve Gillon combines impeccable research and historical authority with a narrative so gripping that the book reads like a thriller. This blow-by-blow account of the first 24 hours after the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor presents not only a new and detailed version of the reaction to the event but also a new and up-close vision of FDR's leadership."
Kirkus Reviews
"Gillon paints a vivid picture….An excellent introduction to Roosevelt and his times with heavy emphasis on events surrounding Pearl Harbor."
Tucson Citizen
"Fast paced as any novel, Gillon provides readers with a dramatic examination of this crucial juncture in our history."
Booklist"An engrossing and highly informative chronicle of crisis management at a decisive moment in history."
"[Gillon] provides a concise and informative account of Franklin Roosevelt's initial response to the crisis."
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
"'Pearl Harbor' makes a strong case that Roosevelt shared in the shock all Americans felt…. Fascinating."
Deseret Morning News
"Gillon uses facts and information to masterfully demonstrate that Roosevelt handled the situation in the best way possible for both himself and his political agenda while also keeping in mind what he felt was the best for the country as a whole. Gillon seamlessly weaves in experiences from earlier in Roosevelt's life (such as his battle with polio) with the events of that day."
Kansas City Star
"Present[s] a ton of marvelous details about how events unfolded in the Pacific, the United States and the rest of the world."
Christian Science Monitor"Pearl Harbor…is short and moves forward like a rocket, propelled by readable prose and a laser-sharp focus…. Gillon digs deep into the details that humanize FDR."

Damaged Vermont farms still operating after Irene
MIDDLESEX, Vt. (AP) — A year after Tropical Storm Irene inundated Vermont, all 476 of the farms that reported damage are still operating — thanks in part to contributions from Vermonters — but they continue to deal with the aftermath of the flooding, state officials said Wednesday.
The storm that hit on Aug. 28, 2011, caused at least $20 million in damage to the state's farmland, wreaking havoc on 26,000 acres, burying equipment, washing away fields, contaminating feed and vegetable crops, and leaving behind debris, sand and rocks. As damage reports went out, offers of help came in.
Within weeks, the Vermont Department of Agriculture, working with the Vermont Community Foundation, set up a fund to help farmers. To date, the Vermont Farm Disaster Relief Fund has raised nearly $2.5 million from mostly Vermonters. About $1.9 million has gone to 198 farmers. The U.S. Department of Agriculture also has distributed $7.4 million to Vermont farmers in disaster assistance and crop insurance.
"In spite of the 476 farmers who received damage, the $20 million worth of damage inflicted upon our agricultural community, loss of crops, loss of farmland, loss of equipment, loss of feed and other things, the 26,000 acres that we lost, we have not lost one single farm because of Irene," said Gov. Peter Shumlin, crediting the generosity of Vermonters. "That's a huge accomplishment."
But more help is needed as farmers continue to restore their land, replace lost feed, and face high grain costs because of the drought in the Midwest. The deadline to apply for the fund's next round of grants is Monday. The average grant is $7,900. Some farms have received more than one grant.
"Last year was our most challenging year by far," said fourth-generation farmer Cyrus Scribner, 25, of the 1782 Settlement Farm in Middlesex.
The farm had eight acres of crops — sweet corn, pumpkins, winter squash and melon — in a lower field near the Winooski River when Irene hit. It lost the crops to the flood waters, with pumpkins bobbing down the river.
"It was tough," Scribner said. "Our fall season, our pumpkin season, is the time of year when we go from being in the red to being in the black typically. So without the support of the Community Foundation and the community in general, our loyal customers, and everybody who stops here, we wouldn't be here today."

Carrefour SA rose in Paris while Cencosud SA slumped the most in more than a year in Santiago after the French company agreed to sell its Colombian stores to the Chilean retailer for 2 billion euros ($2.6 billion).
Carrefour SA , the world's second- largest retailer, returned to profit in the first half of 2010 and said it's confident of achieving full-year objectives, boosted by cost cutting and cheaper purchasing.
Ocado Group Plc , the U.K. online grocer that sold shares to the public for the first time last year, dropped as much as 18 percent in London trading after the second-biggest shareholder sold its entire stake.
Next Plc joined John Lewis and House of Fraser in the U.K. Christmas winners column as those retailers with a consistent approach and a compelling multi- channel offer triumphed in the battle for festive business.
Royal Ahold NV, the owner of Stop & Shop grocery stores, dropped the most in more than nine months as first-quarter earnings missed estimates because U.S. and European consumers held back on spending.
Royal Ahold NV, the Dutch owner of the Stop & Shop chain, left open the possibility of acquisitions as it considers how to utilize cash raised from the $3.1 billion disposal of its stake in Swedish retailer ICA.
Carrefour SA, the world's second- largest retailer, is considering a proposal to merge its Brazilian assets with those of Cia. Brasileira de Distribuicao Grupo Pao de Acucar, setting up a power struggle with French rival Casino Guichard-Perrachon SA.
Royal Ahold NV, the Dutch owner of Stop & Shop stores, said it will ramp up its online business, expand in Belgium and add convenience stores as Chief Executive Officer Dick Boer aims to reverse slowing sales growth.
Carrefour SA , the world's second- largest retailer, rose to a six-week high in Paris trading after fourth-quarter sales provided some reassurance for investors after November's reduction of the company's profit forecast.
"There are few reasons to be enthused about Metro's prospects."
