"We're making history today," Roko Josefa Cinavilakeba, the high chief (Roko Sau) of the Yasayasamoala Group, leaned over and said to me as we sped out to Totoya's Sacred Reef.
Today, in honor of World Ocean's Day, Roko Sau has declared Totoya's first formal marine protected area (MPA). The MPA will be a no-fishing zone for the entire district, encompassing approximately four square kilometers of Totoya's reef, including Daveta Tabu, the "sacred passage."

"Why are you wearing that funky yellow mask?" one of the crew of our research vessel asked.
"I'm going on a disco dive," I replied.
He was rightfully perplexed. Little did he know that within minutes I would descend on a glowing underwater world with the trippy semblance of a dance club illuminated by black lights.That is, in fact, exactly what we were doing. Pioneering work by Dr. Charles Mazel and others on coral fluorescence led to the use of blue lights and photographic filters both to produce stunning images and also to learn more about coral reef processes. On our team, Drs. David Kline, Tali Treibitz and Greg Mitchell, of Pacific Blue Foundation and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego, are developing unique camera systems to document these glowing reefscapes.Read more from National Geographic >>

Bruce, the bull shark from the movie Finding Nemo leads a Sharks Anonymous meeting with the mantra, "I am a nice shark, not a mindless eating machine. If I am to change this image, I must first change myself. Fish are friends, not food." However, in Fiji, fish are both friends and food.Fish are friends because of the many important ecosystem functions they perform on the reef.For example, herbivorous fish, such as many parrotfish, surgeonfish, damselfish and rabbitfish, eat algae and therefore free space for new corals to grow. This process allows reefs to quickly recover from damage following disturbance. Meanwhile, predatory fish, such as sharks, grouper, snapper and emperor, are critical for keeping populations of their prey in check, which ensures a balanced ecosystem. Fish are even vital for the process of sand formation. Species like the enormous bumphead parrotfish (Bolbometopon muricatum) are equipped with teeth like crushing machines to take bites out of the reef. The calcium carbonate grains of crunched coral skeletons that come out of their other ends forms much of the white sand along outer island beaches.Read more from National Geographic >>

Totoya Island sacred reef, Fiji © Keith Ellenbogen
Daveda Tabu means the "sacred passage." It is the gateway to Totoya's lagoon, the only entry point through the southern section of the barrier reef. When entering by boat through the passage, it is imperative to obey strict customary protocol. No hats, sunglasses or jewelry may be worn, and everyone must sit down to ensure safe passage.
All of us from the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), Pacific Blue Foundation, Wetlands International-Oceania and the Waitt Institute were bursting with curiosity over what the sacred reef still holds. Although the previous high chief of Totoya opened the area to fishing in the mid-1990s, the conditions are fairly rough through the passage, which may offer some natural protection to the fish life.
With five foot swells sending white water barreling over the reef flat, we opted wisely to dive on the leeward side of the barrier on our first morning.Read more from National Geographic >>

Roko Sau, high chief of the Yasayasamoala Island group, and wife Makareta©Keith Ellenbogen
I stood on the deck of the research vessel with Makareta Cinavilakeba, the stunning young wife of the high chief of the Yasayasamoala Group. She could hardly contain her excitement. Even though she grew up on the main island of Viti Levu, Fijians have real pride in their ancestry and she will always be from Tovu, the chiefly village of Totoya.
As we steamed ahead past Yawalevu Bay, surrounded by the green forested hills carpeting Totoya Island, Makareta began telling me about the traditions of her people.
"There will first be a ceremony on the boat to honor our arrival," she said. "The men will present my husband, Roko Sau, with a coconut. If the coconut is green, that means that the land is fertile. If the coconut is brown, then the soils have not been producing."

Tomorrow we board our research vessel to embark on our journey to the remote reaches of Fiji's oceans. We are headed to Lau Province, where communities hold their reefs sacred and mythical islands really can vanish like in the television series Lost. Through this expedition, the Wildlife Conservation Society, Pacific Blue Foundation, Wetlands International-Oceania, and the Waitt Institute are partnering to uncover the stories of the reefs and people of Totoya Island in the Yasayasamoala group.
Lau Province is made up of over a hundred islands and atolls scattered across a 188 square mile expanse of deep water bridging Fiji and Tonga. The Yasayasamoala group encompasses Totoya, Moala, Vanuavatu and Matuku islands, plus the atoll Navatu, which are all the summits of extinct oceanic volcanoes that rise from depths of over 6500 feet. There may have previously been more. Oral histories collected by University of the South Pacific linguist Paul Geraghty describe a mythical island, Burotukula, which geologists believe may have slipped off the flanks of Matuku over 1000 years ago.

Chronic pelvic, shoulder, back and knee pain are all part of the picture of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Osteoarthritis (OA) is also very common being a leading cause of chronic disability and pain in the developed world.
Osteoarthritis is thought to affect about 8 million people in the UK and nearly 27 million people in the US. It is a degenerative joint disease, in which the cartilage and underlying bone degrade. Symptoms of OA can include joint pain, tenderness, stiffness, joint locking, and sometimes an effusion.
The cause(s) of osteoarthritis are not understood by allopathic medicine and treatment usually involves taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to suppress the pain, exercise to keep the joints mobile, and ultimately joint replacement when the joint has completely degenerated.
About a third of the 40 million Americans with chronic joint pain regularly take NSAIDs like aspirin and ibuprofen, but these have several recognised side-effects including gastric problems and hearing loss.
Over 100,000 Americans are hospitalised every year for NSAID-induced ulcers, and 16,500 die. Even when NSAIDs don't cause digestive problems, they are only ever seeking to deal with the pain, and never address the cause of the degenerative condition. In fact, they may actually make the joint problem worse by slowing the production of collagen and proteoglycans, which are the tissues that make cartilage an effective shock absorber.
It is for these reasons that people have turned to supplements such as chondroitin, MSM, glucosamine and SAMe for pain relief and also to aid regeneration of the affected joint(s). These supplements can be found either as single nutrients or combined in various proportions.
So how do these supplements work?
MSM is a natural substance which is found in fresh fruits and vegetables, milk, grains, meat, seafood and fish although it is destroyed by processing. It is also found in the human body where it supplies a biologically active form of sulphur, which promotes the intercellular transport of toxins and nutrients by making the cells more permeable. The increased efficiency of exporting toxins from the cells and importing nutrients may account for how MSM relieves joint pain.
MSM is chemically related to dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO), of which it is less reactive metabolite. Dr Stanley W. Jacob MD has been one of the chief proponents of the use of DMSO and MSM and has successfully treated tens of thousands of patients with a variety of ailments using these products.
He suggests that we are all sulphur deficient although there is no recommended amount of dietary sulphur which is readily available through foods such as onions, garlic, cruciferous vegetables and in protein-containing foods, such as nuts, seeds, milk and eggs.
In addition to aiding transport in and out of the cell, sulphur is utilised in the body to create the proteins involved in the formation of connective tissue, skin, hair, nails, enzymes, hormones, and immunoglobulins.
To watch a documentary about DMSO click for part 1, part 2, and part 3 of DMSO: Dr Stanley W. Jacob or click the relevant link for Amazon UK or US for more about Dr Jacob's book The MSM Miracle.
DMSO is known to be an active carrier capable of crossing membranes without damage and the claims made for it include:
However, whilst potent, DMSO also has a strong sulphurous odour, causes a bad taste and bad breath and can cause local skin irritation where it is applied. Whereas, methysulphonylmethane (MSM) which is a metabolite of is DMSO and which may account for the therapeutic properties of DMSO is odourless, and virtually tasteless.
The late biochemist, Robert Herschler, who worked with Dr Jacob began studying MSM in 1955 and registered a number of patents worldwide relating to the biological and cosmetic uses of MSM. Like DMSO, MSM can also cross barriers including the blood-brain barrier.
The sulphur in MSM is thought to help reduce osteoarthritis pain by strengthening collagen and as such it has been marketed for the pain and inflammation associated with:
Other conditions for which MSM has been suggested to have a therapeutic effect include:
Double blind, randomised controlled studies of MSM have yielded mixed results with some finding significant improvements in pain outcomes in the treatment group compared to comparator treatments and others finding no significant improvement. MSM has not been shown to preserve cartilage, nor to prevent joint destruction or deformity, but subjective reports are that it relieves pain. However, these effects only last as long as the MSM is taken.
MSM can be applied externally as a cream or lotion where it penetrates through the skin improving the health of the area to which it is applied, or it can be taken as a supplement in a variety of forms. The Arthritis Foundation recommends starting with 500 mg twice a day of MSM and increasing gradually to 1,000 mg twice daily. You also need to give the supplement at least a few weeks or preferably a few months before assessing its effectiveness or otherwise.
Side effects with MSM are rare but may include stomach upset, headache and diarrhoea. The safety and efficacy of MSM has only been established in trials lasting up to 12 weeks and so the long-term safety has not been established.
SAM-e (pronounced Sammy) has been reported by the Scandinavian Journal of Rheumatology to reduce pain and stiffness in patients with fibromyalgia. In another trial, SAMe compared favourably to the pharmaceutical Celebrex for the management of knee osteoarthritis although it took longer to take effect.
In dozens of European trials involving thousands of patients, SAMe has performed as well as allopathic treatments for arthritis and major depression and may also help to reverse some liver conditions.
The illustration below shows how the amino acid methionine obtained from the diet can either be metabolised via SAMe into 'feel good' neurotransmitters or, how it can be metabolised into homocysteine.
If homocysteine is allowed to accumulate and not further metabolised to glutathione, heart disease may result. However, if sufficient B vitamins are present, the homocysteine can be readily metabolised on to glutathione, which has detoxifying properties in both the liver and at cellular level. So SAMe is a precursor molecule for both detoxifying glutathione and beneficial neurotransmitters.
In addition, the sulphate groups produced when homocysteine is converted into glutathione also help to generate joint-sparing proteoglycans. Other actions of SAMe may also include affecting the receptor molecules and regulation of neurotransmitter breakdown.
The methionine pathways
In over a dozen clinical trials involving tens of thousands of patients, SAMe was shown to be as effective as NSAIDs in the treatment of pain and inflammation. However, SAMe has none of the damaging side-effects on the digestive tract and instead of speeding the breakdown of cartilage (as pharmaceuticals do), SAMe may help restore it. In one German study evidence of cartilage repair was found using MRI scans.
The Arthritis Foundation recently confirmed that SAMe had been shown to provide pain relief but not that it contributes to joint health.
The other common symptom associated with the fatigue syndromes for which SAMe is said to be useful is the treatment of depression. Numerous studies over the last few decades have now confirmed this and in one study of severely depressed patients conducted at the University of California, Irvine, SAMe outperformed pharmaceutical antidepressants.
According to Columbia University psychiatrist Richard Brown who has used SAMe on several hundred patients, sometimes in combination with other drugs, he has never seen any adverse side-effects and says that "It's the best antidepressant I've ever prescribed. I've seen only benefits."
For the therapeutic effect for either depression or joint pain you need to buy full-strength SAMe which will be labelled as either tosylate or butanedisulphonate. US manufacturers such as Nature Made and GNC sell the butanedisulphonate version, and several U.S. retailers import reliable tosylate products from Europe.
Also, because SAMe is absorbed mainly in the intestines, it is best taken in an 'enteric coated' form so that it can pass through the stomach intact. These supplements may be quite expensive and are best taken twice a day on an empty stomach, with dosages starting as 400 mg a day for arthritis and rising to 1,600 mg daily for depression. Advice is to start at 400 mg per day and to increase the dose slowly.
It is also important to ensure that you are getting an adequate intake of B vitamins so as to avoid the build up of homocysteine, so taking a good quality multivitamin/mineral or a B complex is also advised.
There are few side-effects reported from the use of SAMe and these include most commonly a mild stomach upset and less commonly the possibility of triggering a manic episode in individuals with bipolar disorder (as antidepressants can do).
Both glucosamine and chondroitin sulphate are found in cartilage and are thought to stimulate the formation of cartilage and aid in joint repair.
Chondroitin sulphate is a polysaccharide of variable length attached to a protein which is known as an aggregating preoteglycan. The polysaccharide chain can have hundreds of side chains in various pemutations making chrondroitin highly variable.
Chondroitin is one of the most abundant polysaccharides forming the exoskeletons of crustaceans and other arthropods from which supplements are usually derived.
The beneficial effects of chondroitin sulphate in patients with osteoarthritis are thought to be due to its:
Again, studies of both glucosamine and chrondroitin sulphate have yielded mixed results with some studies finding a proven benefit and others finding no significant benefit to patients with osteoarthritis.
The Osteoarthritis Research Society International recommends a combination of glucosamine and chondroitin sulphate as the second most effective treatment for moderate cases of osteoarthritis. And the European League Against Rheumatism also maintains that chondroitin sulphate is well proven in the management of osteoarthritis of the knee.
There are no major dietary sources of chondroitin, so people who want to take it must take supplements. Chondroitin supplements are derived from natural animal sources such as shark, bovine or porcine cartilage, or are synthetic. If you are vegan or vegetarian, then there are also chondroitin supplements manufactured from algae.
In many countries including some European countries, chondroitin is a prescription only or over-the-counter drug whereas in the US it is regulated as a dietary supplement by the Food and Drug Administration. This means that European products have to meet the efficacy and safety standards that have been determined by clinical trials, whereas in the US the product is much more variable. In fact, one study (Adebowale et al., 2000) found that only one in six chondroitin containing supplements were labelled correctly and that over half contained less than 40% of the stated amount.
Chondroitin supplements are generally considered to be safe, although no long-term studies have established safety beyond around 12 weeks. There are also no known drug interactions with chondroitin which makes it the substance of choice for people who are already taking possibly multiple medications.
Concerns about the use of chondroitin include:
The dosage of oral chondroitin typically used in clinical trials is 400 mg twice or three times a day. Since chondroitin is not a uniform substance, and is naturally present in a wide variety of forms, the precise composition of each supplement will vary. The amount of chondroitin can also vary depending upon the source of the chondroitin (e.g., shark, porcine, or bovine) and the approximate age of the animal.
The most likely side-effect of chondroitin is a mild stomach upset and its safety at the recommended dosage for short periods of time has been established although long term safety has not.
Glucosamine is an amino sugar and a precursor in the biochemical synthesis of glycosaminoglycans which form a major component of cartilage. Glucosamine supplements are derived from shellfish, but even those who are allergic to shellfish are usually able to take the supplement since it contains little of the allergen found in the flesh.
Glucosamine is thought to:
Only about 20-25% of both glucosamine and chondroitin supplements taken are actually bioavailable. Although, according to studies done with radioactive tracers both products have been found in the synovial fluid and cartilage. Chondroitin has been shown to exert a beneficial effect for up to 3 months after supplementation is discontinued.
Chondroitin is often combined with glucosamine and occasionally manganese which is a trace element necessary for normal bone health. Do not exceed a total of 11 mg of manganese per day from diet and supplements.
When it comes to supplementing glucosamine, it is also generally considered to be safe with occasional and mild adverse effects including gastrointestinal upsets, headache and rashes. Patients with diabetes should be aware that glucosamine can raise blood-sugar levels and there may be a further anticoagulant effect for those taking blood thinners. Taken above the recommended doses, there may be damage to pancreatic cells and an increased risk of developing diabetes.
Celadrin is a recent addition to the supplements available for joint support that is available as a cream or in soft gel form. It is an all natural mixture of esterified oils similar to the essential fatty acids EPA and DHA which have been scientifically formulated for maximum effect on joint mobility and health. Celadrin has been clinically proven to promote joint health by lubricating cell membranes and cushioning joints throughout the body.
In one study (at the University of Connecticut) all the osteoarthritic subjects on Celadrin showed significant improvement in just 30 minutes. Furthermore, all measures of joint mobility improved throughout the remaining 30 days of the study with the effects being cumulative and with no side-effects.
Celadrin prevents the deterioration in the health of the cell membrane which causes it to stiffen and become less effective. This increase in health and fluidity of the cell membrane also allows for more efficient import of nutrients and export of toxins converting it to a super membrane and enabling the cells to rapidly repair and regenerate. This restoration of cells in and around the joint aids repair of damaged joints and tissues.

The body stores toxins including toxic metals in the joint capsules and these toxic metals can cause destruction of the articular cartilage and bone. Although the joints can become painful and deformed, this form of storage is less life threatening than storing toxins in the heart or brain, for example.
Refer to the images below of both an adult woman and child that were affected by the acute mercury poisoning at Minamata in Japan in the middle of the last century. As you can see both display signs of what we would call arthritis which I believe may in large part be chronic, low grade mercury poisoning.
Some of the joint pain experienced in fibromyalgia may also be due to muscles becoming hypertonic ie: permanently or nearly permanently in spasm. Possibly all the muscles relate to the various meridians and the associations of at least 42 paired muscles have been determined by Dr George Goodheart.
The psoas muscle, for example, runs within the pelvis and attaches to the spine and relates to the kidney meridian which is usually under immense stress with mercury poisoning. This can cause the psoas muscle to become hypertonic in turn causing the lower back and pelvic pain familiar to fibromyalgia sufferers.
With effective detoxification, both the hypertonic muscles will start to relax and the joint capsules will be detoxified. Although the supplements described above will provide symptomatic relief and may help the joints to regenerate, much pain relief will come as a result of effective detoxification as outlined in The Natural Recovery Plan book.

The Stephanie Gaitley Show 2/2
The Stephanie Gaitley Show, now back at the WFUV Studios
Another week of the Stephanie Gaitley coach's show, as Alex and myself finally made it back to the WFUV studios for the show. Coach Gaitley reflected on Fordham's fourth 1 point loss of the season, 56-55 to LaSalle at home on Wednesday. There were certainly plenty of positives on the scoresheet, as Fordham shot nearly 50 percent from the field but in the end it was LaSalle's defense that proved to be too much for the Rams. Fordham is now 11-12 and will head back to Philly for the third time this season to take on Temple tomorrow. Alex and I will have the call with tipoff at 2 PM with the One on One pre game report at 1:55 only right here on WFUV.org.
We're down to the final stretch of the season so don't miss out on any of the action. Fordham women's basketball only on WFUV.org!

Wisconsin Post Game Head Coach and Player QuotesWisconsin vs. Minnesota State
Head Coach Mike Eaves
On Scott Gudmandson's play:
"Goodie (Scott Gudmandson) has been playing well for quite a period of time. If you want to talk about the things he's doing well, he's stopping the puck well, controlling most of his rebounds, his puck handling has been the best it's ever been in terms of the actual passing and actual reading of the ice and taking what's given. He's been like a defenseman in that sense, a third defenseman at times. When you put all those things together, you are getting a pretty complete package. The bonus that he has going right now is his confidence level. For a goaltender, that is as important as the glove hand. If that's working for you, it gives you a good chance of being a good goaltender. "
On communication during the power play:
"Last night we were scrambling and we weren't as concise as we wanted to be. Coach Butters did a good job, as well as the penalty killers. It was a great meeting, and the players were talking and asking questions, they got up at the board and were apart of the process. Going through that helped us to be more concise and detailed tonight. We score one goal and they don't get any in the specialty teams, and that's the difference in the game perhaps."
On the team's recent success:
"In this stretch, it's been a combination of things. Always when you talk about the game of hockey to start at the goal line and in the nets, and he (Scott Gudmandson) has been one of our best players. Defensively, if we take a look at the scoring chances we've given up, we've done a pretty good job. Tonight the defensemen in our lower four should be complimented, because when Goodie (Scott Gudmandson) gave up any rebounds, they were there in clearing the puck so the opponent didn't have a lot of clear shots. So it's a combination of things, and even though tonight and last night we were in one-goal situations, we know that this is playoff hockey, this is tournament hockey, and we are getting experiences that we are being successful at. It's always good to watch video when you win because you take it with a lighter step and there's things we could do better and we will go back and look at those things but it's been a combination of things that have allowed us to have this success."
On the second goal:
"It was interesting, most times when we get scored against, it's the coaches that are saying "let's respond, let's respond.' But in this case, it was the players. That is a sign of growth. It was a matter of let's respond and we spent a lot of time this morning working on the neutral zone and that kind of play. It's still about what taking what's given and Jake Gardiner saw what was there and made a pinpoint pass and one of our game breakers makes a great play on the goal tender."
Craig Smith
On his goal:
"That shows how we work in units here, we get a goal scored on us and we use it to respond pretty well. You can go back and look at the camera in the Canisius game and we got down on them and came back and scored a goal right away too. Our team responds very well in those situations."
"He made some huge saves tonight. Late in the game they were making some pretty good rushes on him. He stood his ground and made some huge saves for us and we're happy about that."
On the penalty kill:
"Compared to last night, there was a lot more communication. Last night we had a couple guys running around, including myself, and we really didn't feel out as well as we thought we had. We came back, and with the help of video and we made sure we had communication on the ice."
Scott Gudmandson
On growth of the team:
"The best word to describe our performance is growth or maturity. I think a lot of guys have matured and a lot of the freshmen are coming into their own and a lot of guys are finding their roles on this team."
On winning one-goal games:
"When we lose one-goal games, we try to learn as much as possible from our loss. Every one of those games we use as a learning experience. We felt how bitter we were after every one-goal loss we had and now we feel how happy and excited we can be when we win."
Jake Gardiner
"We worked on that play all week in practice. Obviously Smitty (Craig Smith) has the ability to get open which is good. He is a very skilled player and it shows how we completed a simple D-to-D pass and found Smitty down the middle. It was a good goal."

glaze is good. Great way to eat a turkey burgerflag if inappropriate
these were ok. I've cooked it twice but not sure I'll make them again.flag if inappropriate
We had these last night and thought they were really good. We will definitely have these again.flag if inappropriate
Skipped on the topping and bread as well and instead on a bed of greens with a mild cauliflower puree. The tamarind glaze is fantastic!flag if inappropriate
The burgers and glaze were superb, but I thought the buns, lettuce, tomato and onion drowned out the burgers and glaze. My solution: Serve them without those accompaniments, and top them each with a slice of fresh, ripe mango, instead. Great combination!flag if inappropriate
Delicious. The tamarind sauce made the difference for me. I did end up fiddling with it a bit - adding a bit more honey, some brown sugar, and a bit of ground cayenne.flag if inappropriate
Pretty delicious, but still a turkey burger.flag if inappropriate
i went heavy on the ginger and added some sriracha to the burger mix and these were awesome! i am a personal chef and this is one of the most requested recipes from all of my clients- i serve it with maple baked beans, spicy sweet potato salad and refreshing thai salad style cucumbers- we love these!flag if inappropriate
The turkey recipe is great. Usually my husband grills but he wasn't home so I tackled it myself. Used my thermometer and the patties were moist, flavorable, and delicious. I went light on the ginger because it just seemed odd to me but it was barely detectable. The onions, mayo, and jalapeno made it for me. The tamarind glaze....it was ok. Next time I think I'd like to try some kind of spread instead (not sure the burger even needs it) if anyone has any suggestions.flag if inappropriate
A huge fave- have made it several times.flag if inappropriate

They say that you shouldn't write about making money online if you're not making any money online. I say, shut it. I'm writing about making money if I feel like writing and sharing my experiences.
You know, the first rule of Fight Blog Club, you DO write about blogging and making money and the second rule, you DO WRITE even more.
So here's the thing, most bloggers don't make any money from their blogs. I'm not one of those bloggers, because I have made 1 dollar 88 cents from Google AdSense during the 4 or so years I've been blogging. And I haven't even tried, and still I made money, it's quite amazing if you ask me. As a clarification, that's $1.88 all time! It's not like I have monthly income here yet.. All this was more and less when I had my blog(s) at blogspot.
That's one hundred million percent more than those bloggers are making who make none! It's all about positivity and working hard, so I'm planning to double my earnings during this summer, wish me luck!
Here comes the revelation, I'm 100% sure you can do this too.
How I Made One Dollar and 88 Cents ($1.88) With Google AdSense!
- I wrote posts to my blog
- I created Google AdSense Account
- I generated Google AdSense ad code
- I placed the AdSense code to my blog
- Repeated couple of times for different placements on my blog
That's quite easy isn't it? Check out my quick and easy guide if you need additional info: How To Get Google AdSense and Display Ads on Your WordPress Blog.
I bet you can do that too and I think you're gonna love it! Getting paid for doing what you do anyway is like the best thing in the world. But I hope you do hell of a lot better than I do. You know, more than one dollar...
But you and I have a starting point right there. I think I gotta be reading some of these (you can too if you like):
- 5 Reasons You're Not Making Money as a Blogger
- Why You're Not Making Money Online
- Why You Can't Make Money Blogging
- Reality check: You're not going to make money from your blog
- Why You're Not Making Money Online

Presence of ApoE4 gene in offspring makes a difference, study finds,,
THURSDAY, Feb. 19 (HealthDay News) -- Middle-age people whose parents had Alzheimer's and who carry the so-called Alzheimer's gene might very well have the memory of someone 15 years older, a new study has found.
This memory decline was not detected in people of middle age whose parents had Alzheimer's but who do not carry the gene, known as ApoE4, according to the study.
About 20 percent to 25 percent of the population have at least one copy of the ApoE4 gene, but not all people with the gene develop Alzheimer's, said study co-author Dr. Sudha Seshadri, an associate professor of neurology at Boston University School of Medicine.
The study involved 715 participants in the ongoing Framingham Heart Study, including 282 whose parents, one or both, had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's or other dementia. The participants averaged 59 years old and were healthy, with no memory complaints, said Seshadri, who is also a senior investigator with the Framingham study.
But when given a battery of cognitive tests, those who logged the lowest scores on verbal and visual memory tasks were people who were carriers of the ApoE4 gene and had parents with dementia.
Seshadri stressed that the neuropsychological tests and brain imaging conducted as part of the study offered a sensitive measurement of memory. The participants were "performing older than they're expected," she said, but added that there were "no memory symptoms associated with this." Participants still tested within the normal range for memory and were living normal lives, she said.
The results suggest that the Alzheimer's gene is facilitating the expression of some other gene, Seshadri said. "It's just giving us a clue that whatever [other] gene we find is going to have an interaction with ApoE," she said.
Finding other genes will require a sample of 10,000 to 2

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
DULUTH - Forward Colton Fretter and defenseman Jamie Milam joined an elite group of Gwinnett Gladiators to be named to the ECHL All-Rookie team on Wednesday.Only three other players from Gwinnett have been so honored, and never in the same year. Fretter and Milam joined Jon Awe (2005-06), Jeff Campbell (2004-05) and Kevin Doell (2003-04) on the list of first-year Gladiators selected to the team, which consists of just six players each year picked by the league's coaches. Also on this year's team are Bakersfield forward Todd Griffith, Alaska forward Julian Talbot, Texas defenseman Paul Albers and Cedrick Desjardins, the goaltender for Cincinnati. "I'm real happy for (Fretter and Milam)," Gwinnett head coach Jeff Pyle said. "Fretts is definitely the rookie of the year in my mind. Kind of a no-brainer. So it's good to see the league hasn't forgotten him." The ECHL won't announce its rookie of the year until Saturday, but Fretter received the most votes overall for the All-Rookie team. The Michigan State product has been on the injured reserve since Feb. 15, but still leads all rookies in scoring with 64 points in just 49 games. Fretter's 35 goals rank first among rookies and fifth overall in the ECHL. He was named to the American Conference squad for the 2007 ECHL All-Star Game and scored the game-winning goal. Named Rookie of the Month for October, Fretter was drafted by the Atlanta Thrashers in 2002 and signed by Chicago of the American Hockey League coming out of college. The 25-year-old had a 16-game point streak going (15 goals and 12 assists) when he was injured at Florida on Feb. 14. Fretter scored a goal in the first period of that game before a sliding Ryan Van Buskirk fractured his ankle. "Milo had a pretty good year, too," Pyle said. "So I tip my hat to those guys. They played hard and they played well. They deserve it." Milam leads ECHL rookie defensemen in scoring with 45 points off of 22 goals and 23 assists in 66 games. His 13 power-play goals rank first among ECHL rookie defensemen and second among all defensemen. The Michigan native had 13 points in 10 games during February and was subsequently named rookie of the month for that period. The first and second All-ECHL teams will be released today.

… making a stand and taking real action for the causes you believe in. Causes that you yourself can truly pursue to make a real, positive difference to your fellow countryman, to your country.
It is for you who still dare to hope that life for millions doesn't have to be a hopeless battle against problems like poverty, illiteracy, unemployment.
It is for you who believe that not enough is being done about our country's problems. And that to do right things, you'll do them yourself.
It is a movement where you can show your patriotism and compassion, and make these traits infectious.
It's about action that eradicates hopelessness in every Filipino.
How hard will this be to accomplish? Well that will be entirely up to you. In AKO MISMO you get to choose the cause you wish to pursue. No cause is too small as long as it is a noble one. All we ask is that you make a pledge to do it.
You yourself can pledge anything: from teaching English to your yaya's kid, to making sure that your barangay is dengue-free.
Or make a pledge to do your part in ending corruption, prostitution, illegal drugs or the inhumane treatment of animals. The choice is yours.
No matter how small, as long as you pledge that you yourself will take action, it's sure to make a big difference.
Giving more hope for Filipinos to stop merely surviving, and start living. And it starts with you.
MISMO yan.
Thank you for your interest in learning more about Ako Mismo and the people behind the advocacy. Ako Mismo is an apolitical, inclusive movement based on the principle of volunteerism. It is an invitation for people to be part of making a difference in society, starting with oneself. It was born out of the collective vision of people who believe in the power of the individual to effect positive change.
Thank you for taking the time to know more about us

Over the years, I have learned never to assume that a person is what their professional title reflects.
What has been most fascinating, I must say, has been the experience of learning from those in the business world who are typically characterized as a…shall I say…"second class citizens." Although they may seem to be as "functional" necessities, many are the stongest leaders found in an organization.
I am referring to the wonderful people who greet you at the door of their organization.
Real Talk
When was the last time you sincerely conversed with your receptionist(s), executive assistant, secretary, and/or office manager who greets you and your guest everyday and who ensures that all are well cared for? Or better yet, when did you last take that influential person out to lunch for casual conversation?
Think About This
Did you ever stop and consider that these servant leaders often know more about the inner-workings of the office and/or business than their esteemed counterparts found in the corner office or behind the mahogany desks at your office? Did you ever consider that these "interchangeable" people might actually be the very source of power and influence at your organization and you never even thought about this/
They listen, assist, teach, and influence many people everyday. These behaviors, and not their positions, are what makes them so influential in your workplace.
Attractive Leaders
The frontline people who greet your employees, guests, and customer often times decide how easily the schedule flows each day by "greasing the wheels" and maintaining strong relationships with other people in the roles of receptionist, executive assistant, and/or office manager at various other firms.
They often come in early and/or stay late to make sure the coffee is made, documents are ready and presentation materials/equipment are all set for the next day.
Whether on email, or by phone, or in person, they provide empathy, healing, and awareness to anyone they meet. They gently persuade, conceptualize, express foresight, engage in stewardship, illustrate their commitment to the growth of others, and build community to help serve.
"Wow! That is an attractive leader! That is who I want to be around!"
But Rather…
But rather than receive high accolades, honors, or recognition, these highly influential people often get overlooked for the true value and influence they provide for their organization. Many people who are decorated with advanced degrees in education, awards in performance, or high in positional authority often simply walk by and give little love and attention to the people of true influence.
And in doing this, they are not only short-changing the people for whom they owe much, they are robbing themselves of the honor, dignity, and strength they receive back when they first "show up as a giver" to others.
Yet, I have both been, and seen, these diligent, hard workers passed over with little more than a "hello" when visitors come in. I have noticed the lack of sincerity in the greeting to them. I also know some of these servant leaders (including me) have advanced degrees, extensive training and are hard workers.
They are people. And at times, they too would like some recognition, respect and attention, just as those in more "elevated" positions.
Servant Leadership
Jane T. Wadell of Regent University (2006) writes this about servant leadership:
"Greenleaf (1991) explains that the servant-leader is servant first, which begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve. Following the desire to serve may be a conscious choice that brings one to aspire to lead. The leader-first and the servant-first are two extreme types of leaders with the servant-first leader taking care to make sure other people's highest priority needs are being served."
These servant leaders focus on identifying and meeting the needs of others rather than trying to acquire more power, wealth, or any kind of "fame" for themselves. These "others-focused" people are working with their eyes as wide open as their hearts to help people every day, all day. Just because they are doing this doesn't mean that they should be "dismissed."
On the contrary: They should be appreciate and shown gratitude!
As you interact with these who willingly serve so many so often, think of this: Some work in these roles because they like what they do. And others are just "biding their time" until their talents, skills, and interests are noticed.
No matter what their intentions, to be in this role servant leadership is often a part of their core personality – or they wouldn't have been content for long. Once their gifts and talents are truly recognized, and the person determines they would like a change, how does one elevate a servant leader into a more strategic role in the organization?
A greater understanding comes from the summary of Servant-Leadership Characteristics In Organizational Life,
"Servant-Leadership is about creating the right organizational environment to get the best out of people. It is about organizational effectiveness to unleash the true potential of employees, which is especially needed at the middle-management level of organizations. Today's highly competitive global marketplace requires leaders to realign their organizational structures, systems, and management styles in order to empower their employees to survive and thrive in their changing organizations."
Don't Try This At Home
As you enter your workplace tomorrow, schedule some time for lunch with your receptionist(s), executive assistant, and/or office manager.
- Truly engage the person(s) in conversation about their professional and personal life goals. Find out what their aspirations are and discuss how you can best provide them with opportunities for future growth within the company. Make yourself available.
- Set up monthly appointments with them for mentorship or offer and allow opportunities for them to meet with a mentor of their own choosing. Introduce them to those whom you feel would be wonderful assets to them in their desires for growth. Allow the person(s) into your network.
- During your time with them, help them develop a professional growth plan. If more training/education is needed, be an advocate. If possible, offer financial support. If that isn't possible, again, open up your network to help support their needs.
- Don't be afraid to express your concerns as an employer – the fear of losing good/talented people once their goals are met; the desire to assist, but not get "abused" in the process. Be open and genuine.
This show of concern will likely be a surprise for your servant leader, But what a welcomed and refreshing surprise it will be in the end! Loyalty will be gained in more substantive form by those who reach out.
Remember, this is truly about talent management, not just shifting a person's role. The best laid plans for your talent can create a more sustainable, competitive enterprise!
So when you come in tomorrow, try to get on their calendar.
What are you doing to increase the potential of your Executive Assistant? Have you been a mentor to the person at your "front desk?" What kind of relationship do you have with those who work to serve your needs and your client's needs each day? What strategies have you used to help develop your "front desk" talent? I would love to hear your thoughts!

Chris Froome: Wada satisfied steroids request followed rules
A special exemption allowing Chris Froome to take steroids ahead of the Tour de Romandie followed correct procedure, say doping bosses.
A French newspaper claimed the International Cycling Federation (UCI) failed to refer the request to the relevant committee.
But the World Anti-Doping Agency said it was "satisfied" with the process.
What is prednisolone?
Prednisolone is a medicine used in inflammatory and allergic disorders. It is a corticosteroid and works by preventing or reducing inflammation. It is used to treat a number of conditions that are characterised by excessive inflammation.
Corticosteroid are prohibited when administered by oral, intravenous, intramuscular or rectal routes, but exemption requests may be made.
Sources: nhs.uk; wada-ama.org.
Team Sky had asked the UCI to grant a therapeutic use exemption (TUE) after Froome contracted a chest infection.
Le Journal du Dimanche newspaper had asserted that Team Sky's request for Froome to take corticosteroid prednisolone ahead of the race at the end of April was authorised by the UCI medical supervisor without referring the case to the TUE committee.
However, a Wada statement said it was "satisfied that the UCI's decision to grant a Therapeutic Use Exemption to Chris Froome was conducted according to the rules of the International Standard for Therapeutic Use Exemptions, and therefore will not be reviewing this case any further".
The UCI has also looked into the newspaper's claims but said "nothing out of the ordinary occurred" in the process to grant an exemption.
In a statement, the sport's governing body said: "Any rider in the same situation with comparable supporting medical evidence would have been given an authorisation to take similar oral treatment."
The UCI is reviewing its anti-doping rules and said it was looking at the TUE process with Wada.
Froome, the reigning Tour de France champion, overcame his illness to win the Tour de Romandie for the second year in succession.

Jewish-Catholic dialogue: respect religious freedom
Catholic World News - October 21, 2013
The International Catholic-Jewish Liaison Committee met in Madrid from October 13 to 16 to discuss "Challenges for Religion in Contemporary Society."
The meeting, co-chaired by Cardinal Kurt Koch, president of the Holy See's Commission for Religious Relations with the Jews, and Betty Ehrenberg of the World Jewish Congress, was the committee's twenty-second since 1971.
"We call on political leaders and governments, on individuals, and on religious leaders and institutions to act to ensure the physical safety and legal protection of all who exercise the fundamental right to religious freedom; to protect the right to change or leave one's religious belief; to protect the right to manifest one's religious beliefs; to educate one's children in accordance with these beliefs," noted the joint statement that following the meeting. "Among the religious claims under attack today that fall within the right to be protected are the right to religious slaughter, male circumcision, and the use and display of religious symbols in public."
The statement went on to denounce anti-Semitism and the persecution of Christians.

G.Skill releases the fastest memory in the world!
"Since its last groundbreaking launch in January 2010, G.Skill has been looking to satisfy the demands of the top overclockers and PC enthusiasts all over the world, which is a challenge in its self. G.Skill together with ASUS managed to give us the world's fastest memory."
Published: 18th April 2010 | Source: G.Skill |
G.Skill last came with its ground breaking memory kit in January this year, since then they have been pushing the boundaries and continually working to develop a high performance memory kit. Satisfying the demands of top overclockers and PC enthusiasts such as ourselves is a hard job to do but G.Skill seem to have pulled it off with this kit.
G.Skill have got together with ASUS, the leading motherboard manufacturer, to push the hardware limit even further than before. The result is the DDR3 2,500 MHz extreme performance dual channel 2GB x2 memory kit. The amazing 2,500 MHz CL9-11-9-28 is only 1.65V which has been specifically designed for the Intel Core-i7 860 and 870 processors.
This DDR3 2,500 MHz kit has passed many strict tests on some of ASUS's top motherboards including the ASUS P7P55D-E Deluxe and P7P55D-E EVO. With no mention of the price yet it can be expected to be worth your weight in gold as the must have memory kit for 2010 so far.
