Your videos are so helpful! I'm a visual learner so reading descriptions of a workout routine in magazines have been a pain in the butt. Your site came to my rescue. I'm living abroad and just started a fitness plan and I love that I can do most of this stuff at home or around my house. Keep up the good work!
- 7 July 11, 2011 at 5:22 pm

- 17 September 29, 2011 at 12:22 pm
OKAY. Im really confused cu there's a lot of great exercise routines on this website but im still confused cuz im a bit of a special case. Im a thin girl and always been a thin girl. im 19 and i wana b fit, well built and good heart rate , look good nd all that. But the thing is im 166 cms and way about 59-60 kgs. I dont know what my FIT IDEAL WEIGHT should be. I used to be 53 kgs so i gained some weight finally!!!! I KNOW I KNOW it sounds odd wen u hear a girl say finally i gained weight with a smile on her face. But like i said i was super thin nd i jus wanted some shape. Now i realised wut a big mistake it was to gain that weight. I should lose like 4 kgs (dont u think?) and start doing more strength exercises…can u help me sarah clear out my confusion. What exercise routine should i follow. I been doin some weight nd some exercises for about 3 months and stopped for like 2 months. how to get back on track? WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Sarah, thank you so much for your great instruction videos. Before i became a mother, and even after, i used to work out a lot but today i seem to forget most of the exercises. I love spinning and outdoorsports but exercises are a real challenge to me and your videos make exercise very appealing. You rock!

- 31 January 31, 2012 at 7:36 am
Hi Sarah, I was looking for decent workout videos and found one of your videos on YouTube and eventually got to this page. Unable to find the Ask button as well as the printout of the 30minute workout for weightloss I found on YouTube. I am keen to try it out but I am a little confused as to whether that workout is Cardio or Strength training, a mixture maybe? Also, if I follow that workout 3 times a week and run on 3 other days will i be stressing my body out? I don't know cuz I've never had weight problems until recently, never really exercised either, other than the time I was in school (and was forced to). Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!
- 32 March 29, 2012 at 10:20 am

Just joined tone it up! Bought the nutrition program and have been doing their love your body series. I saw that you totally support them and that's awesome!! I have lost weight but I still feel flabby. I really want to tone up. Should I focus on your strength videos as well as Tone it up's videos? Should I skip cardio? My bothersome area is my lower abs. Any suggestions? I want to burn that extra flab off! I have never been able to get rid of it.
Thank you!! Your site is awesome and I love that you give advice!

Red Cross holds shelter drill in Coweta
by Sarah Fay Campbell
On Saturday, the multipurpose building at the Coweta County Recreational Center became a Red Cross disaster shelter.
Sort of.
Red Cross workers, other agencies, Coweta CERT members and volunteers from throughout the 10 county Three Rivers Red Cross region were on hand for the annual shelter simulation drill.
Volunteers and others rotated between several different stations to learn the nuts and bolts of what goes on in a Red Cross disaster shelter. Stations included dormitory, health services, mental health, staff, sign in, and the "emergency response vehicle," which can also function as a mobile feeding station.
The drill helps everyone learn how to open and operate a shelter when the need arises.
For the simulation, the "disaster" was a tornado that tore the roof off Newnan High School and caused damage in downtown neighborhoods and along Bullsboro Drive.
After lunch, everyone broke into groups to talk about how to deal with different situations – or "injects" – that might arise while they are working together as a shelter team.There was also a "cot competition" to see how quickly volunteers could set up a cot, and there were presentations provided by various agency partners about that they do.
There were over 100 participants, said Jessica McFadden, emergency services program manager for the Three Rivers region. They included representatives from about 15 partners including the Salvation Army, Department of Family and Children's Services, Region 4 Public Health, Coweta County Emergency Management, Coweta CERT, the Coweta Amateur Radio Emergency Service, and others.
Members of ARES and Coweta Emergency Manager Director Jay Jones set up emergency communications from the mobile command post to the Coweta 911 Center.
"This is amazing," said Stephanie May, Coweta County director for the Salvation Army. "It helps all the agencies and organizations get on the same page."
Tom and Carol Baudo volunteered at the sign up table.
"I think it's cool," Tom said. "It gives agencies the opportunity to interface with each other – fortunately not in a real emergency" situation. Baudo has experience with emergencies – he was a contractor with the Federal Emergency Management Agency in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
Laura George, emergency management disability liaison with Noah's Ark, got her start by dealing with a real emergency.
Her husband was paralyzed in a hit-and -run crash when she was three months pregnant. When she was nine months pregnant, Hurricane Ernesto hit their area of Florida. And there was no community support. She was almost in the situation where her husband would have to deliver their baby.
She remembered that when her husband was discharged from the hospital, she asked hospital staff how they could prepare for a hurricane.
"The person at the hospital said, 'You're the first person to ask that question,'" George said. "That was the wrong answer."
Ever since, she has been working to help people understand the unique needs of disabled individuals in emergency situations.
"I talk about all the questions nobody talks about," she said.

Published Sunday, December 23, 2012
By REBECCA LEFTWICH
Sixth-grader Anna Grace Rogers wants to become a better reader, so she has joined more than 350 Madras Middle School students to participate in Battle of the Books.
Battle of the Books is a reading incentive program – open to any interested Madras students – which seeks to broaden students' reading interests, practice cooperative learning, increase comprehension and provide opportunities for students to speak in a public forum.
Groups of 4-6 students from the same grade level compete as a team by first dividing a reading list among members. Rogers was elected a team captain, so she had the opportunity to choose her teammates.
"I picked people I knew would be really good and who would represent sixth grade really well," she said.
Rogers, who reads a book each week to prepare for competition, said her favorite selections so far have been "I Thought My Soul Would Rise Up and Fly" and "The Red Pony."
In January, Rogers' group will join other sixth-grade Madras teams to begin competing for grade level champion by answering questions about their reading selections.
Sixth, seventh and eighth-grade championship teams will then compete in a three-way, lightning-style round during a school assembly to determine the All-School Grand Champion.
"It is kind of hard to go up against older students, and to know that you're probably not going to make it," Rogers said. "But it's really fun trying."
Trophies and other prizes for Battle of the Books winners will be paid for by the more than $700 participants have raised through making and selling $5 paracord bracelets at school events.

Facebook is a very good way to always remember your friends birthdays. However if you have a lot of time to log in your Facebook account you might forget some of them. If you are using Google Calendar to organize your everyday life I will show you how to import Facebook birthdays to Google Calendar. This way you can use your calendar's notifications and alerts in order not to forget your friends birthdays. The following guide is also a very good way to view birthdays in Android's calendar by simply synchronizing it with Google Calendar. A lot of my friends who have recently started using Android were asking me how to do this. So let's get started!
First we have to export birthdays from Facebook. Log in to Facebook and from the left pane select Events and then select Birthdays. Alternatively click on Facebook birthday events. Now click on the magnifying lense and press Export Birthdays.
A popup will appear. Copy the webcal url you see there. We will need it.
Now we will import Facebook birthdays to Google Calendar. On Other calendars click the Add by URL option.
Paste the webcal URL and press Add Calendar.
A new calendar will appear under Other calendars called Friend's Birthdays.
Now you will see your friends birthdays in Google Calendar and you can set up notifications for them. Moreover each time you add a new Friend in Facebook this calendar will be automatically updated. If you want to remove the calendar just go to Settings and click Unsubscribe. Pretty easy!
Oh and if you want to know how to add your Facebook events to Google Calendar I have written a guide.

For Semantic MediaWiki, it's a mappy day
I've been working with Jeroen De Dauw, a student in the Google Summer of Code, on creating a full-scale mapping interface for Semantic MediaWiki for a few months now; by which I mean that he's done the actual work, and I've been around to answer questions and try to bask in the glory. Anyway, I think mapping is crucial for any generic data project, because so much information that we need on a daily basis is location-based, whether it's information about businesses, people, events, etc. There's already an extension that handles all this stuff - Semantic Google Maps - but it's incomplete, first because it relies on Google Maps, which not everyone can use, second because it doesn't support the incredible Google Earth, and third because it can't handle displaying locations on non-geographic surfaces (more on that later). Another extension, Semantic Layers, also exists, which uses the open-source OpenLayers mapping service, but it's had some problems since the beginning that were never fully resolved,
Anyway, yesterday and the day before, Jeroen released the two extensions that he's been working on, that are meant to provide the generic solution for all of SMW's mapping needs: they are the Maps and Semantic Maps extensions. Here's how the two work together: Maps handles the display of individual points, along with geocoding (determining the coordinates of a specific address); and Semantic Maps handles the display of multiple points on a map, defined via Semantic MediaWiki, as well as providing maps as Semantic Forms form inputs. Both support the same mapping services, currently three: Google Maps, Yahoo! Maps and OpenLayers.
Jeroen has been keeping track of all the progress on his blog, which has a lot of information on all of this stuff, including some great screenshots, including this rather breathtaking one of Google Earth being used as a form input.
There's still a month left in the Google Summer of Code, and Jeroen and I are excited about the extra cushion of time that provides, because it means that there's an opportunity to add extra features to the system; like being able to show a clickable list of points near each map, so that maps can work more like this; and being able to use OpenLayers to display locations on non-geographic surfaces, such as images. That second one opens up a lot of possibilities, because it allows for things like annotated anatomical charts (see here for an example, from the Semantic Layers wiki) and displaying points on floorplans (see here for an example from the same wiki). For the latter, the example provided is for a video game, although you could easily imagine the same concept being used for more practical purposes, such as displaying events at a conference, or… showing the locations of enemy combatants in a building (hey, I'm allowed to fantasize a little, right?).
By a stroke of good timing, on Saturday I'll actually be speaking at the New York City wiki-conference (basically a smaller-scale version of Wikimania), on the subject of all this mapping stuff; and hopefully being able to do a Steve-Jobs-at-Macworld thing, where I demo a recently unveiled technology to the crowd. Here's a link to the panel I'll be on: "Mapping in MediaWiki". It's free to attend, if anyone's interested.

Detailed Description:
In the treatment of congestive heart failure, diuretic drugs have become a firm cornerstone of therapy. Up to 50% of patients with congestive heart failure in industrialized nations will undergo long-term diuretic treatment. Diuretic therapy is associated with a loss of water soluble vitamins, including vitamin B1 (thiamine). Electrolyte dysbalance, a major side effect of diuretic therapy, has been extensively studied. In sharp contrast, only few data are available about the effects of vitamin loss and in particular of thiamine in this setting. Available data suggest that a diuretic treatment is associated with an increased risk for thiamine deficiency. Thiamine plays a crucial role for normal cardiac function, since severe thiamine deficiency leads to congestive heart failure (wet beriberi). Consequently, patients undergoing diuretic treatment might have compromised heart function. Supplementation of thiamine has been reported to improve cardiac function in patients with congestive heart failure on long-term treatment with diuretic drugs. However, no efforts have been made to confirm those preliminary observations by a placebo-controlled, double-blind study.

The filling of bone cavities is a frequent problem in orthopedic surgery. Different surgical techniques and a range of products may potentially be used by surgeons depending on the deficiencies to be filled and the origin thereof, which may be due to reconstructive surgery and the putting in of plates, screws or prostheses, or may be pathological and due, for example, to tumors.
Bone filling products may be of human, animal, mineral or synthetic origin. All these materials must be biocompatible (that is to say: non-toxic, non-immunogenic and non-carcinogenic), must promote or induce bone regrowth, be resorbable over the medium term and be storable and available. The choice of material is influenced by the amount to be filled, the site, the local conditions and the goal being pursued.
This invention thus relates to the area of compounds intended for improvement of bone tissue repair and for filling bone deficiencies or defects.
Bone tissue is made up of a matrix of connective tissue to which are attached mineral elements that ensure its rigidity. Two types of structure may be distinguished: compact bone and spongy bone, formed from bone trabeculae between which there is located hematopoietic or fatty tissue. In both cases, the bone is formed from superimposed lamellae, several microns thick, the orientation of which follows that of the collagen fibers.
The distribution of these two types of bone is different depending on the skeletal location: spongy bone is in the majority at the level of the vertebral bodies, the radial epiphysis and the calcaneum, whereas cortical bone is found at the level of the posterior vertebral arcs, the shafts of the long bones and the neck of femur.
This specialized connective tissue is made up of an organo-mineral matrix and of cells. 70% of the bone tissue matrix is formed of the mineral phase, 20% of organic components and 10% of water. This breakdown by weight is only approximate, since the nature of component elements of the bone remains more or less constant, while their proportion may vary considerably, depending on the nature of the bone, sex, diet and age.
The mineral component of the bone includes the following elements:
Calcium (percentage by mass: 36.7%), Phosphorus (16.0%), Carbonate (8.0%), Sodium (0.77%), Magnesium (0.46%) and Fluorine (0.04%).
The crystalline phase of bone resembles hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2), the mesh of which is hexagonal. Apatite is a host structure that is able to incorporate a significant number of chemical elements or allow lacunae to appear.
90% of the organic matrix is formed of Type 1 collagen, 10% of other non-collagenic proteins, primarily osteocalcin and osteonectin. This matrix is degraded and synthesized, respectively, by two types of cells: osteoclasts and osteoblasts. The activity of these two cells controls the dynamic process called "remodeling" which, over the course of life, replaces the tissues of the bone matrix and allows preservation of their biomechanical properties.
There are two principal types of bone cells: osteoblasts and osteoclasts.
Osteoblasts are at the origin of bone tissue genesis. They are located on the surface of bone tissue, most often bordering a tissue in the process of being formed: osteoid tissue.
Osteoblast differentiation corresponds to a complex process bringing into play multiple interactions among the cells and the matrix. After an initial stage of proliferation of precursor cells, an osteoblast progressively acquires the characteristics of a functionally differentiated cell. Its essential function is to synthesize and mineralize the organic bone matrix, essentially composed of collagen, non-collagenic proteins and growth factors.
Moreover, cells of the osteoblast series play an important role in controlling bone remodeling, on the one hand through their capacity for synthesizing numerous growth factors, on the other inasmuch as they are target cells for hormones that control osteoclast differentiation.
Bone formation essentially depends on the number of osteoblasts more than on the activities among each of them. Moreover, the importance of the cellular proliferation stage has been shown, beginning with the osteoblast precursors, in controlling normal and pathological bone formation, and the essential role of the growth factors affecting recruitment and proliferation of osteoblasts has been underscored.
Once the bone tissue has been formed, the osteoblasts find themselves trapped there. These cells are then called Osteocytes.
Osteoclasts are responsible for the process of bone resorption. These are multinucleate cells quite large in volume. Osteoclasts are located at the surface of the bone at the level of the resorption areas. Bone resorption is made possible by a significant enzyme content. The mineral portion is dissolved by a local lowering of the pH to the vicinity of 5, due to the extracellular release of protons by the action of carbonic anhydrase. The degradation of the organic matrix takes place through enzymatic fission by the action of cathepsins and hydrolases.
The two types of bone cells, osteoclasts and osteoblasts, derive from the hematopoietic stem cells and the stromal bone marrow cells, respectively.
Three mechanisms contribute to the depositing of bone after a bone graft: osteogenesis, osteoconduction and osteoinduction.
Four essential elements are necessary to permit bone regeneration:
In the case of a spongy autograft, complete revascularization takes place in from two to three weeks. The osteoblasts of the graft at the recipient site directly deposit osteoid tissue on the trabeculae, with graft-bone consolidation being accomplished in from five to six weeks. In the case of a cortical graft, a preliminary phase of osteoclastic resorption is necessary, and consolidation is achieved only starting with the third month.
Hence, an autograft possesses the four elements needed for bone regeneration.
In the case of an allograft, the allogenic bone does not possess any osteogenic property in itself, that is to say, it is incapable on its own of giving rise to the formation of new bone. Its essential property is to guide the bone re-growth coming from the bone bed in which it is placed. The extent of the graft-host contact surface is determinative of the speed of graft penetration. Grafts totally fitted into a bone cavity have a more favorable environment for osteogenesis than those that are simply placed in apposition.
An allograft thus possesses only two of the elements needed for bone regeneration.
Bone pathologies requiring filling compounds according to the invention are pathologies such as osseous tumors.
Benign tumors, which are much more frequent that malignant tumors, are of different histological types (osteoid osteoma, exostosis, fibroma . . . ) and may eventuate in grafts for filling purposes.
Numerous orthopedic (or dental) surgeries require plates, screws or prostheses to be put in. In order to facilitate the integration of these devices into the bone site, the interstices may be filled with the help of a bone graft or a bone substitute.
At the present time, it is this type of surgery which most often requires bone filling compounds.
The ideal bone-filling product is a biomaterial having properties close to bone, with the ability to be simultaneously safe, effective and available:
The safety of a biomaterial rests upon its biocompatibility, that is to say, on the lack of toxicity of this biomaterial and the products of its degradation. Evaluation of this safety is essential, and needs to be carried out before animal studies of its biofunctionality. It is based on the application of acknowledged standards. In addition to studies of its mutagenic and carcinogenic character, research on the host's reactions to the biomaterial requires an in-depth analysis of the inflammatory reaction (presence of giant cells, interposition of connective tissue between biomaterial and host tissue . . . ).
The effectiveness of a bone substitute depends on its short, medium and long-term clinical results.
The study of the biomaterial osteoconductive and, possibly, osteoinductive qualities is of interest in predicting its clinical effectiveness.
Osteoconduction corresponds to the "passive property of a material for receiving the bone regrowth, through vascular and cellular invasion starting from the recipient bone tissue in contact with the material." Osteoconduction is in part dependent on the size of the biomaterial pores.
Osteoinduction is the capacity to promote bone re-growth by inducing the bone metabolism of the recipient bone site.
Availability of a bone substitute supposes that it can be made in sufficient quantity to respond to all demands, that it can be preserved for a sufficiently long time without significant degradation of its essential properties and that the conditions for its preservation are extremely simple and able be met by any department of osteosurgery.
The bone fillers utilized today are diverse and varied in nature and composition. Two principal types of bone fillers can be distinguished: bone grafts and bone substitutes.
The term bone graft designates a contribution of free bone tissue, living or dead. There are two categories: autografts and allografts, excluding bone filling compound products containing bone and another product.
An autograft is the oldest filling material still currently in use by orthopedic surgeons. Autografts are the reference material for bone substitutes. An autograft, by definition, is taken from the patient at the level of a donor site (hip, cranium . . . ) and is placed at the same operating time at the place where the filling is necessary. It is the most osteogenic of the filling materials: osteoinductive and osteoconductive.
An allograft designates a graft taken from a human being who is not the recipient.
As of this date, different approaches are employed to preserve allografts. The graft may be either simply frozen, freeze-dried or washed. Additional sterilization is advised, through physical (ionizing irradiation) or chemical (ethylene oxide) means, or using heat. The aim of these treatments is to reduce the antigenicity of the bone tissue without thereby excessively altering its biological and mechanical properties.
When a graft is not possible or desirable, surgeons have recourse to bone substitutes.
Among known bone substitutes one may note xenografts, which designate a graft of animal origin. The most common is prepared from the bone of an adult bull.
The difficulties tied to preparing such products reside in obtaining the indispensable biological safety and preserving the integrity of the bone's biphasic structure (collagenous and mineral).
Derivatives of coral are also used, possessing a totally porous structure which favors bone penetration. They have been used for a long time.
Phosphocalcic or ionic cements form a new class of bone substitutes characterized by setting and hardening in a wet medium. However, their objective is essentially the sealing of prostheses and not the filling of bones.
Calcium phosphate ceramics are likewise used since the crystals of biological apatites, principal constituents of bones and teeth, belong to the family of calcium phosphates. They form the mineral portion of the bone and could act as precursors at the time of mineralization.
Mineral substitutes, with a calcium sulfate or even a synthetic resin base, are also available.
There are other bone substitutes. These are made up of two phases (allogenic bone and another product), such as, for example, mixtures of calcium sulfate and demineralized bone, glycerol and demineralized bone, gelatin and demineralized bone, sodium hyaluronate and demineralized bone, or a copolymer and demineralized bone, in the form of a paste prepared on the spot or a ready to use paste.
Problems remain because a bone filling compound, an ideal filling material allowing for all situations to be addressed, does not exist. A filling will not be envisaged in the same way after excision of a tumor, after traumatic impairment of a limb, whether in the acute phase or in the stage of pseudo-arthrosis, after a prosthesis is unsealed, after an additional osteotomy, or in the treatment of extended scolioses.
Filling materials are of significant practical interest since filling bone defects is necessary in multiple situations, such as, for example, a tumorectomy, the post-tumorectomy filling, the filling of non-tumorous and aseptic spongy defects, reconstruction of cortical bone and vertebral body surgery.
These highly varied indications require extended mechanical properties and a different consistency and profile.
Numerous publications and patents describe compounds like those mentioned above. For example, from U.S. Pat. No. 6,030,635 we learn of a compound with a base of hydrogels chosen from among sodium hyaluronate and chitosans, allowing for compounds to be prepared containing only from 1 to 3% gel, and from WO-A-9639203 we learn of collagen compounds containing particles of demineralized bone.
From US2002/0110541, we learn of a compound containing calcium sulfate, a mixing solution and a plasticizing substance made up of a cellulose derivative such as carboxymethyl cellulose, forming a mucoadhesive, biodegradable hydrogel that is able to form a filling product which shows significant mechanical resistance and is able to be used alone. See the paragraph "robustness" in the description.
From Ruskin, J. D. et al., Clinical Oral Implants Research, April 200 [sic; year incomplete], vol. 11, 2, pp. 107-115, one learns of the preparation of a compound containing calcium carbonate, hydroxyethyl starch and a growth factor, for testing osteogenesis and bone regeneration in buccal bone lesions.
From Pietrrzak, W. S. et al., Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, July 2000, vol. 11, 4, pp. 327-333, one learns of the interest in using calcium sulfate as an in vivo filling product.
However, none of the products currently described and/or marketed allows for all of the criteria set out above to be satisfied.
The present invention has permitted compounds to be made allowing for all the situations described to be addressed, while retaining properties satisfying all of the criteria.
In fact, in order to facilitate their use, these bone filling compounds, at the time they are used, i.e., during surgery, ideally need to come in the form of a malleable paste that does not need reheating, moldable if necessary to allow it to be put to use after being shaped, non-adhesive to instruments and gloves, but sufficiently cohesive and able to adhere to the tissues of the sites to which the paste will be applied. They must likewise be osteogenic.
The present invention hence concerns a bone filling compound characterized by the fact that it includes allogenic bone powder, calcium sulfate, a binder chosen from starch or a starch derivative and a mixing solution.
According to the invention, the starch derivative is chosen from among hydroxyethyl starch, carboxymethyl starch, starch glycolic acid, starch glycerol and pre-gelatinized starch.
It likewise concerns the bone filling compound according to the invention characterized by the fact that the starch derivative is hydroxyethyl starch.
According to the invention, the calcium sulfate is chosen from among di-hydrated, anhydrous or hemi-hydrated calcium, the defined crystalline form of which can be alpha, beta or both. It is preferably hemi-hydrated calcium sulfate.
The allogenic bone powder according to the invention is chosen from among bone powders, whether human or not, whether de-mineralized or not, which have undergone a viroinactivation treatment, with a particle size between 200 and 1600 μm.
It is preferably a human bone power which has undergone a viroinactivation treatment, with a particle size between 200 and 1600 μm.
According to the invention, the mixing solution is a physiologically compatible aqueous solution chosen from among an isotonic solution, physiological saline solution or a physiological liquid like serum or blood.
According to the applications, the aqueous solution may be buffered.
The latter shall be added to the mixture depending on the desired consistency of the final compound to with, a compound in the form of a paste that is malleable, injectable or able to be molded.
According to the invention, the allogenic bone powder will be incorporated in proportions between 0.1 and 80% v/v, the calcium sulfate in proportions from 50 to 300% m/o, the hydroxyethyl starch from 0.1 to 20% v/v and the mixing solution from 0.3 to 80% v/v.
The calcium sulfate exists in three forms: di-hydrated (CaSO4-2H2O), hemi-hydrated ((CaSO4-˝H2O) and anhydrous (CaSO4).
Di-hydrated calcium sulfate is the principal component of Gypsum.
It is from this mineral that plaster of Paris is made. After extraction, Gypsum is crushed, ground and dried. Subjected then to "cooking" (between 100 and 200° C.), it is partially dehydrated and yields plaster of Paris: hemi-hydrated calcium sulfate.
According to the mode of cooking employed, principally two forms of plaster are being researched:
The di-hydrated and hemi-hydrated calcium sulfates have a difference in solubility at a temperature of 20° C. Thus, the addition of water to a powder of hemi-hydrated calcium sulfate will generate the formation of di-hydrated calcium sulfate, which will precipitate to give a hard stone. The crystallization of the gypsum translates into the setting of the plaster; it is accompanied by a characteristic rise in temperature, which may reach 37° C.
The quantity of water used for the setting of the plaster acts on 2 levels:
The implanting of plaster of Paris in bone or tissue does not produce inflammatory reactions, it being well accepted by the body. But plaster of Paris by itself does not stimulate, but also does not inhibit, bone formation and it is absorbed and displaced very quickly from the implant site and the bone is rebuilt.
The bone powder permits bone regrowth at the level of the site filled. It is made of a mixture of calcified bone powder and demineralized bone powder. It simultaneously contributes calcium through the calcified bone powder and the growth factors needed for bone neoformation through the demineralized bone powder.
The bone may be of allogenic origin and may have come from the transformation of femur heads or solid bone of human origin, treated so as to inactivate viruses, then reduced in the form of chips.
The calcified bone powder may thus be obtained by direct grinding of spongy or cortical bone chips.
The role of the calcified bone powder is to contribute the minerals necessary for the process of new bone formation at the level of the site filled, without it being necessary to contribute any added mineral salts to activate this bone neoformation.
The demineralized bone powder is obtained by bone grinding and demineralization or by demineralization of bone fragments which are then ground.
The demineralized bone powder contributes the growth factors promoting bone neoformation that stimulate the osteoprogenitor cells.
The combination of the two bone powders, i.e., calcified bone powder and demineralized bone powder, permits stimulation of bone regrowth by osteoconduction and osteoinduction.
The particle size of the bone powders has an important role in the viscosity and consistency of the paste and will be between 100 and 1600 μm, and preferably between 200 and 500 μm for the calcified bone powder.
For example, PHOENIX® grafts are marketed by THF. Tissue banks may be used.
The aim of the procedure for transforming femur heads into PHOENIX® grafts is to clean the bone trabeculae and to use chemical solvents to inactivate the micro-organisms not detected by the blood test. This inactivation has been validated by the Institut Pasteur—Texcell on particularly resistant viruses. A stage of the procedure also permits protection against unconventional transmissible agents (prions).
The transformation procedure has been studied so as not to alter the intrinsic mechanical properties of spongy bone.
Calcium sulfate shows numerous characteristics that are of benefit to a bone substitute. It is inorganic, and hence all risks of virus or illness transmission are avoided. It is biocompatible, resorbable, osteoconductive; it serves as a medium for blood vessels and cells and permits revascularization. It constitutes a source of calcium, an essential element for bone reconstruction.
The hemi-hydrated form of calcium sulfate, more particularly, possesses favorable physical characteristics: it can be molded, is easily manipulable, possesses the ability to harden and is able to mix with other materials.
Starch is a polyoside sugar with the empirical formula (C6H10O5)n, n falling between 100 and 20,000. The chemical composition of the starch varies depending on its vegetable origin, but all starches include two polysaccharides, amylose and amylopectin.
Industrially, it is prepared from potato, wheat, corn and rice. Most corn, potato and wheat starches contain 70 to 85% amylopectin and 13 to 30% amylase.
Hydroxyethyl starch is starch onto which hydroxyethyl groups (C2H4—OH) are grafted. These hydroxyethyl groups may be attached to the glucose by the carbons located in positions 2, 3 and 6.
Hydroxyethyl starch is a pharmaceutical product in an injectable solution. It serves as a filling solution and a plasma substitute and does not form a solid hydrogel.
There are three parameters that permit the various types of hydroxyethyl starch to be identified:
The invention also concerns the use, for filling bone defects, of a bone filling compound characterized by the fact that it includes allogenic bone powder, calcium sulfate, a binder chosen from starch or a starch derivative, and a mixing solution.
More particularly, it concerns the use described above, characterized by the fact that the binder is hydroxyethyl starch.
According to the invention, the compound will be used either in the form of a paste that is more or less liquid, that is to say, malleable or injectable, or in the form of a pre-molded paste.
In a different mode of implementation when filling bone deficiencies of significant size, for example after tumor surgery, the compound according to the invention may itself be employed as a vehicle for the implanting of bone fragments.
As a function of the possible particular uses for the compound according to the invention, the compound according to the invention may also include one or more active pharmaceutical ingredients chosen, for example, from among antiviral agents, antibiotics, immuno-suppressants or anti-tumoral agents.
It may likewise include growth factors that will be released in situ, such as "Bone Morphing Proteins" like BMP 2 or 7 for the bone, promoting repair of the target tissues.
The invention likewise concerns the compound according to the invention in the form of a kit, to with, a container containing a compound which includes allogenic bone powder, calcium sulfate, a binder chosen from starch or a starch derivative and a container that holds the mixing solution.
When the compounds need to be molded for a particular use by the surgeon, for example to put osteotomy wedges in place, then the kit according to the invention also includes molds for osteotomy wedges.
Active pharmaceutical ingredients or growth factors may be added, either to the container containing the bone powder, or in a solution in the container that holds the mixing solution.
The invention will be better understood by reading the following sample embodiments:
To manufacture a final volume of bone filling compound of around 3 cc requires:
The hydroxyethyl starch rate may vary as a function of the quality utilized: thus, an increase in the average molecular weight and the substitution rate cause the viscosity of the product to be increased.
The particle size of the bone powder used may cause a variance in the quantity of bone for the same volume of powder, thereby modifying the appropriate proportions of the other components. (particle size normally used: from 200 to 1600 μm).
The physiological saline solution may be replaced by another physiological solution. In particular, a buffer may be added.

After a sustained mixing lasting 3 minutes, this formulation allows a paste to be obtained of a consistency close to modeling paste.
The paste can be used for around 7 minutes before beginning to harden.
Setting requires a period lasting on the order of 15 minutes.
The product continues to harden after this time, until reaching a resistance on the order of 480 Mpa after drying. (hardness test sheet).
A slight rise in temperature is noted during setting. The product may reach a temperature on the order of 40° C. after vigorous mixing. This is still quite acceptable.
Knee deformities such as Genu varum (with heels together, the inside faces of the knees remain separated by a greater distance the more pronounced the Genu varum is) and Genu valgum (conversely to Genu varum, the knees are curved inwards) very frequently entail a localized femorotibial arthrosis (inside or outside).
There is a surgical solution to remedy this: opening wedge osteotomy. The tibial or femoral bone is sectioned so as to be able to introduce an osteotomy wedge there (plates are fixed in place to avoid the wedge being crushed), which allows the angle of incline between the femur and the tibia to be modified and causes the deformity to disappear. The positioning of this osteotomy wedge must allow for bone reconstruction, for long-term preservation of the angular correction.
The present invention allows the surgeon, during the surgery, to choose the size of the osteotomy wedge so as to obtain the desired angle of correction, thanks to the particular way in which the bone filling compound, which may be molded, is presented.
The product is presented in the form of a kit which may contain some or all of the following components:
After mixing, the compound obtained is in the form of a paste malleable for around 10 minutes. It is during this period of time that the product may be molded into the form of an osteotomy wedge with the aid of a mold.
After around 15 minutes, the paste hardens. The osteotomy wedge may then be removed from the mold and used by the surgeon.
The time of hardening was evaluated through comparative tests. The latter made it possible to note that mixing time has an influence on the time of setting.
Formulations according to the invention prepared in accordance with Example 1 are placed in sealing cups1 for at least one hour. These constitute the "test pieces."1 Translator's Note: The context in unconfirmed.
The material for testing hardness is as follows:
The protocol followed during the course of this testing is as follows:
Thickness (mm)
The following results were obtained:
Thickness (mm)
Stress (MPa)
Deformation (mm)
General average
General average
The product, once hardened, resists pressure on the order of 480 Mp.
a) Implants in Rabbits.
The objectives of these implants are to verify that the compound according to the invention does not induce an inflammatory reaction inappropriate for bone reconstruction, to with, no fibrosis installed and start2 of bone reconstruction. 2 Translator's Note: The word "déut" is misspelled in the original. Changed in the translation.
6 implants of the compound according to Example 1 were made in adult rabbits, for a 4-week period, with allogenic bone.
The conclusions of the test were that the tolerance is compatible.
b) Implants in Sheep
24 implants of the compound according to the invention were made in sheep, for a 12-week period, with xenogenic bone (diameter 4.5 mm).
A histological study of bone density and cell infiltration was then carried out. Density and homogeneity are highly satisfactory.
c) Biocompatibility
The sensitization tests on guinea pigs (evaluation, across 38 guinea pigs, of cytotoxicity upon extraction (evaluated on cell series of mice), of acute systematic toxicity (evaluated on 10 mice in IV, 10 in IP) and the AMES test (evaluation of mutagenic power across five strains of salmonella) all gave results conforming to standard 10993.

Different Styles, Similar Goals
Despite these differences, women's and men's conversational styles are more alike than they may appear. Although these styles may seem opposite, they can be used for similar purposes. Boys and men are also concerned with connection, and girls and women with power, even as they may have different ways of pursuing these goals.
Verbal rituals that focus on connection often involve affirming sameness, as we saw in the little girls' exchange about contact lenses and in the familiar responses: "The same thing happened to me" and "I'm the same way." Yet the contrasting ritual, "That's nothing! Here's what happened to me…," which is typically associated with men—and interpreted as competitive—can also create connection, by implying, "You shouldn't feel bad about what happened to you, because what happened to me was worse." In other words, "topping" each other can be another way to commiserate.
Similarly, for girls and women, what appears on the surface to be aimed at connection can also be a way to exert power. Linguist Amy Sheldon of the University of Minnesota has investigated this process by videotaping preschool children playing in same-sex groups of three. She found that both boys and girls pursued their own goals, but whereas the boys she taped were obvious about thwarting another's goals, the girls often did so in ways that appeared to honor the other girls' goals as well. In one example, two girls, Eva and Kelly, were not eager to include the third girl, Tulla, in their play. Instead of telling Tulla outright that she could not play, they included her but assigned her a role that precluded her participation: "You can be the baby brother, but you aren't born yet." Sheldon emphasizes that this is a highly assertive move, even as it maintains the appearance of accommodating Tulla's wish to be part of the game.
In this instance, the children's behavior is not a clear on-or-off application of hierarchy or connection but a blending of both. We could say that Eva and Kelly exercised power to keep Tulla from participating but also honored the connection by assigning her a role. In contrast, Sheldon observed that when boys played, they tended to insist more overtly on their own goals and even to threaten physical force. For example, when one boy, Nick, wanted to cut a plastic pickle that another boy had, he screamed, "I have to cut! I want to cut it! It's mine!" Sheldon stresses, however, that although boys and girls tended to use more of one strategy or another, the difference was not absolute but of degree. Boys did sometimes attempt to compromise, and girls did at times attempt physical force to get their way.
Sheldon's research reminds us that patterns, no matter how real, are never absolute. Again, the asking-directions example is instructive. I didn't realize how common that scenario is because my husband does stop and ask directions, whereas I am the one who says, "I'd rather find it myself on the map." In this respect, he and I are not typical, as many of us are not typical of our genders, cultures, regions or any other group to which we belong.
Gender differences are a matter of relative focus on connection and hierarchy, as we all want to accomplish both goals to some extent. We are always engaged in negotiations over connection and relative power. Eva and Kelly served both goals when they included Tulla—and kept her from participating. Similarly, the boys who verbally competed about how high they could hit a ball also created connection by agreeing on the type of verbal game to play. To understand gender patterns, then, rather than asking, "Does this way of speaking serve hierarchy or connection?" we need to ask, "How does this way of talking reflect the interplay of connection and hierarchy?" And nowhere can this interplay be better explored than in the context that is both universal and fundamental: the family.

Deana Martin to perform at Port St. Lucie's Taste of Italy festival
When: 3-10 p.m. Jan. 25; 10 a.m.-10 p.m. Jan. 26; 10 a.m.-8 p.m. Jan. 27
Where: Tradition Square, 10799 S.W. Civic Lane, Port St. Lucie

Contact: 561-427-0500
Online: www.tasteoflittleitaly.net
Growing up in an Italian family, you can be sure of two things: not going hungry and having plenty of stories to tell.
Deana Martin, daughter of legendary Italian entertainer, Dean Martin, knows this well.
On Saturday, the international singer and first-time Treasure Coast visitor will help thousands of locals celebrate all things Italian during the sixth annual Taste of Italy festival kicking off Friday in Port St. Lucie.
"We are thrilled to come," said Martin.
While the scenery at Tradition Square will be new for Martin, celebrating the traditions of her Italian ancestors is something she holds close to her heart.
"I remember going with my father and family to Mulberry Street in New York — it was so much fun and so exciting," she said, recalling memories of "Little Italy," a block lined with pizzerias, bakeries and souvenir shops.
"There were a lot of people speaking Italian, and it was just something about the Italian people that's just so great, warm and loving," Martin said.
Martin will perform a number of her father's hit songs, including, "Volare," "Memories Are Made of This" and "That's Amore." With the help of technology, she'll also do a special duet with her dad.
"Everybody loved him so much, and it's my honor to be able to sing all of his songs," Martin said. "… Of course Uncle Frank Sinatra's, too."
But you can guarantee between her performances, you'll find Martin among the crowds sampling handmade foods — reminders of her family's Sunday night dinners, which included everything from authentic pizza and chicken parmesan, to her father's chosen soup, pasta e fagioli (pronounced pasta fazool).
"The pasta e fagioli was one of his favorites of my grandmother's," said Martin, remembering hours spent in the kitchen watching her grandmother cook. Later, she learned how to make the soup her father loved.
"That's how I grew up," she added. "It was a wonderful time of family getting together and, of course, with food and a little bit of wine — what could be better than that?"
For Jerry Somma, president of the three-day festival in Port St. Lucie, nothing.
"I think there is something special about coming together and celebrating someone's culture..." Somma said. "I think it's important to always stay mindful of our ancestors, their journey here and the customs they brought to America.
"It's about celebrating all they went through, all they shared with us, their values, their love for family, friends, food, music and everything that was important to them."
What: Sixth Annual Taste of Italy

67 Percent of Texas Republicans Want Obama Impeached
Posted By aaron On January 31, 2013 @ 1:13 pm In Old Infowars Posts Style,U.S. News | Comments Disabled
Noel Sheppard
January 31, 2013
If Democrats are serious about trying to turn Texas blue, they should get a gander at a just-released poll of Lone Star State voters that found 67 percent of Republican respondents support the impeachment of President Obama.
Of greater concern for liberals: the poll was conducted by the left-leaning Public Policy Polling.
As a whole, Texans opposed impeachment 50 percent to 39 percent.
But in the crosstabs, PPP broke this down by party affiliation with Democrats opposed 83 percent to 12 percent, Republicans in favor 67 percent to 18 percent, and Independents opposed 54 percent to 32 percent.

Responding to a noise complaint, officers from the Los Alamos Police Department apprehended 15 teens having a party in the 300 block of Aragon Street, April 12.
When Ofc. Benjamin Irving and Cpl. Sheldon Simpson first pulled up to the back of the house that Friday night around 10 p.m., two individuals, Zachary Martinez, 19 and Zakary Coker, 18 tried to run out the back when a group of other LAPD officers knocked on the front door. However, Irving and Simpson quickly apprehended the suspects.
Eventually, Simpson entered the house to apprehend more suspects. While waiting outside the back, Irving observed another youth trying to escape out a back exit, jumping from the balcony above him. Simpson ordered the suspect to stop and he did. Simpson then placed him in handcuffs.
Sgt. Monica Salazar, Cpl. Adam Jung and Cpl. Patrick Massara came in through the front of the house, rounding up several individuals who were hiding throughout the house. Police also noted they observed a strong odor of marijuana, open beer cans, cups containing alcohol and a refrigerator containing two 30-can packs of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer and a 12-pack of Coors Light.
Officers also found a bag of "Zig Zag" rolling papers, a plastic bag containing marijuana, a bottle containing 1.3 grams of marijuana and a tool evidently used for grinding marijuana.

Robin Williams, who reportedly committed suicide in his California home, got emotional about his wife and kids in his final interview saying that he will connect with his kids and just be with his wife.
In one of his final interview, when the actor was asked the question that what would the he do if he only had 90 minutes to live to which the late 63-year-old actor had replied that he will love his wife and watch her paint, Contactmusic reported.
Williams added that he would tell his wife that how she made his life amazing.
The 'Mrs. Doubtfire' star's third wife Susan Schneider was the last person to see the actor alive.

White Rabbits
Like wild animals, Feral Children and White Rabbits cause a commotion
at The Crocodile
The Feral Children and White Rabbits (shown above) are two groups who are at their best calibur during their shows; their music and talent cannot truly be believed unless witnessed in person. Both are heavily instrumental bands with a multi-percussionist backbone, and both have a fiercly spirited way of playing their version of indie rock. These bands brought their sound to life Monday night at the Crocodile with a vivacious enthusiasm.
This week's goal: Go to shows
A little late on the uptake, but if you're looking for something to fill your unemployed, or otherwise bored-stiff, time there a couple of really great shows happening this week!
I covered all of this over at KEXP for their weekly Three Imaginary Girls column, and while the Kid's Dance Party for Father's Day is over (and was a super success!) and White Rabbits entertained us with dual drumming last night at the Croc, there are still a couple more excellent opportunities to get your music on.
Recommended show tonight: White Rabbits at the Crocodile
White Rabbits play tonight at the Crocodile in support of of their second full length, It's Frightening, notably produced by singer/guitarist Britt Daniel of Spoon.
The Brooklyn sextet (two drummers, yes!) have been around the block, touring with bands like The Walkmen and Spoon after the success of their debut, Fort Nightly, in 2007. And while a line-up with multi-percussionists is not an entirely new concept, the Rabbits excel at using their rhythmic beats to keep time better than a Rolex. Singer/pianist Stephen Patterson's captivates as well; truly an indie dance-rock show not to be missed.

Rule 2. If you break rule one and you get error193, check for files with the same name as the one you intend to call. (error 193 actually means that what you are trying to execute is not a valid Win32 process)

That was an useful post for me when i was in need of it and thanks to google which listed urs as 3rd entry!
Yes you are right. But i faced a different issue with 'services.msc' eventhough it was having a proper extension and a valid win32 application.
The issue was it was just given as
new Runtime().exec("services.msc");
it should be executed in the other way around it seems. with respect to a command prompt if it is executed, things go fine. Again thanks to google ! It should be invoked as
new Runtime().exec("cmd.exe /C services.msc");
This works fine. Just thought of sharing the stuff so that it may help others who is in need of and indeed to you buddy!
Keep up the great work!

The error code is delivered by the Windows OS and migrates up to the java application through the Java Native Interface. You can find the original meaning of the error on the Microsoft Support site at http://support.microsoft.com.
In my case, as an example, I got "CreateProcess error=1455". I found its meaning was "The paging file is too small fot this operation to complete." This fitted exactly my situation, in retrospect. It was listed at
Hope it helped...

Hi ankit,
Running java classes is a little bit more complicated because they are not real executable files. Try invoking the second applet with the usual java command. Check here for how to run java classes (the actual process you should invoke is java.exe with your applet as parameter): http://www.cs.usfca.edu/~parrt/course/601/lectures/java.tools.html

how can i run an applet using web browser?
- 11:13 AM, March 25, 2009
- Adrian Florea said...
Running an Applet from a browser window.
You can achieve this by using the applet tag (it has several variations depending on where your applet class is stored compared to the html file that is using it, if the applet is packed in a jar file etc.)
The following link should provide enough information for you to start with.
If the link is not enough, post some more details regarding your applet, where it is located, is it packed in a jar file, which classes is using, does it have to access the client file system etc. and I'll try to give you more datails on what you need to use.

Along with Valentine's Day, New Year's Eve is among the busiest nights of the year in the restaurant industry, which also makes it a prime evening for special dinner services and events.
Oklahoma City area eateries prepare for New Year's Eve
The ceaseless flow of diners makes it imperative for some eateries to simplify the menu in order to deliver a full and satisfying dining experience without killing kitchen staff. Thus, you'll see a lot of prix fixe menus done in seatings. But some restaurants don't change a thing.
I did some checking around with local independent restaurant owners to find out who is doing what, and the most interesting plan I came across is the festivities at Rococo's Northpark Mall location. Chef/owner Bruce Rinehart and chef/partner Jason Bustamante are planning what they call an "Extravagant Buffet" starting at 5 p.m. Like their cruise-line Sunday brunch, Rinehart and Bustamante will use the considerable square-footage at the Northpark Mall incarnation of the nearly 9-year-old Rococo concept to offer live music, dancing, cocktails and dinner.
"We'll have a hot line," Rinehart said. "It'll have a nice salmon dish, our lobster mac 'n' cheese, a nice airline chicken and some other sides. And then a carving station, seafood bar with ice sculpture. It'll be a lot of fun."
The carving station includes roasted beef tenderloin. The seafood station will offer oysters, shrimp cocktail and crab legs. The hot line will also include garlic-rosemary potatoes, rice pilaf and roasted root vegetables. A soup and salad table will include lobster bisque, smoked salmon, cheeses, fresh fruits and vegetables, Waldorf and green salads and artisan bread.
Assorted cakes will anchor the dessert choices, plus petit fours, truffles and dipped strawberries. Cost is $65.
"We'll also do a complimentary Champagne toast at both locations," Rinehart said.
The original Rococo location will carry on with normal service, offering the full regular menu. Rinehart strongly recommends reservations for both Rococo locations. For Northpark, call 212-4577; for Rococo's original location, 2824 N Pennsylvania Ave., call 528-2824.
Some other options
Meanwhile, places such as the newly reopened Redrock Canyon Grill, Cattlemen's Steakhouse and A Good Egg Dining properties including Cheever's Cafe, Iron Starr Urban BBQ, Republic Gastropub and Red PrimeSteak will carry on with normal services.
Bellini's Ristorante, 6305 Waterford Blvd. #100, will have three seatings for dinner, which will include the regular menu and some specials from the kitchen. Call 848-1065 for reservations.
Bin 73, 7312 N Western Ave., will feature Champagne specials by the glass and bottle all night and a free breakfast buffet starting at midnight.
The Coach House, 6437 Avondale Drive, will do seatings at 6 and 9 p.m. for a seven-course meal with wine pairings for $125. Call 842-1000 for reservations.
Cafe Nova, 4308 N Western Ave., will feature a four-course dinner conceived by Deep Fork Group executive chef Peter See. Cost is $40, which includes a Champagne toast. Call 525-6682 for reservations.
Deep Fork, 5418 N Western Ave., will offer regular menu service plus a special four-course dinner with wine pairings. For reservations, call 848-7678.
At Grand House Asian Bistro, 2701 N Classen Blvd., the purchase of a bottle of wine will earn you a free appetizer plus OKC Thunder and Red Canyon, Volcano and Crazy Cowboy rolls will be $10 all night. For reservations, call 524-7333.
Hensley's Top Shelf Grill, 1551 Garth Brooks Blvd. in Yukon, will close at 10 p.m. on New Year's Eve and throw a party with live music scheduled from 10:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. with three stations including carved roast beef, mini black and blue bruschetta, and dessert flambe. The party also will boast a cold appetizer bar with fruit, crudites, chips and dips and smoked salmon. At midnight, staff will pop the top off bottles of Mumm's sparkling wine. Cost is $25. Space is limited; call 265-4076.

Robert Heverly has been blogging up a storm on Displacement of Concepts recently and he has several good posts on Cory Doctorow's recent speech at Microsoft on DRM including, I wish I had said that and Still More on Cory's Talk. In a slightly longer post, Heverly disagrees (Not Wanting to Bully, but Not Having That Choice) with a posting by Microsoft evangelical blogger Robert Scoble defending MS's use of DRM (Cory wants Microsoft to be a bully with the RIAA).
Scoble argues that:
Cory wants us to bully the RIAA and push a format that is easily copyable (for music, at least). He says that's exactly what the VCR industry did (yes, he says, they got sued, and won, and were repaid hansomely in the marketplace). Interesting argument. I don't agree with Cory that that'd be a good thing for Microsoft to do. I want to see us avoid the courtroom if at all possible and avoid situations where we're bullying anyone.
But Scoble's take is just plain wrong. Microsoft, by including DRM in its technology and not providing the option to operate without it, is bullying consumers. Even in Scoble's own framework, it's not really a "bully or not bully" choice; it's a "who to bully" choice. Put (hopefully) a bit more articulately, it's a question of where Microsoft's own interests lie, and it seems in the eyes of most people, that they lie with the consumers (remember, the customer is always right).

Thinking About Majoring in Geography?
Geography is an excellent discipline to consider for a major because it offers a solid liberal-arts style education while providing ample training in marketable high-tech skills. When you graduate with a major in geography from Louisiana Tech, you will be able to think critically and write well, plus you will know how to use a variety of software packages. Both of these skills are necessary for you to become a well-rounded citizen and a good employee.
Few majors offer such a one-two punch. It is the best of both worlds.
The links below should aid you in your choice of a major.
