Periodontitis & Tooth Loss
Smokers lose 6 extra teeth: smoking = periodontitis = tooth loss
A former three pack-a-day smoker who has been quit for ten years, last week I had two additional teeth pulled, bringing my total to six. Oh, they were both dead, likely for a number of years. You see, I had five root canals during my final two years of smoking. A 2006 study found that the male ex-smoker's risk of smoking related tooth loss remained "significantly elevated for the first 9 years of abstinence but eventually dropped to the level of men who never smoked after 13 or more years."
A 1998 study found that, unrelated to differences in oral hygiene, by age 35 the average smoker had 0.6 fewer teeth than the average non-smoker, by age 50 1.5 fewer, by age 65 they had 3.5 fewer and by age 75 the average smoker had 5.8 fewer teeth. I'm 55 and heavy smoking (roughly 50 pack years) has accelerated my decline by 20 years. But why? Periodontitis.
Periodontitis (peri = around, odont = tooth, -itis = inflammation) refers to inflammatory diseases affecting the periodontium, the tissues surrounding and supporting our teeth. Periodontitis results in gradual loss of bone supporting our teeth, which eventually results in tooth loss.
The exact cause of periodontitis in smokers is poorly understood. Research suggest that it may have little to do with how well or often we brush. Researchers suspect that it's likely associated with years of assaults by scores of smoked toxins. The same double whammy effects of carbon monoxide and nicotine that make circulatory disease smoking's #1 cause of death deprives gums, bone and teeth of normal oxygen levels and blood flow.
Read Joel's Smoking and Circulation article if you don't yet undestand why interrupted blood flow kills more smokers than lung cancer. Smoking not only kills heart muscle via attacks and brain regions via strokes but teeth via disease.
Most disturbing is that we can have rather serious periodontitis and not realize it. As a vasoconstrictor nicotine squeezes blood vessels, which often masks and hides gum bleeding until nicotine use ends. Symptoms of periodontitis can include breath odor, gums that bleed easily, appear shiny or bright red, are swollen or tender when touched but otherwise painless, or loose teeth. The primary treatment objective is to reduce inflamation.
For me, my teeth seemed to all feel smoking's destructive effects about the same time. I found myself living in my dentist's chair. Having inflamed nerve roots ripped from five teeth was a real wake-up call. The incidence of root canals in smokers is 70% higher. What still bothers me is that my dentist never once mentioned the likely cause until setting in the chair during my final root canal. It was clearly too late by then anyway as my smoking pack-years had caught up with me. I guess he simply assumed I somehow knew that smoking destroys teeth. I didn't. Well, maybe deep down I did or at least should have. But like that river in Egypt I was swimming in denial.
"John, smoking is killing your teeth!"
The good news is that I've always been pretty good about brushing. My remaining teeth don't look too bad, are mostly up front and form a nearly solid facade that fools most, until I begin talking. The bad news is that I'll likely lose more.
What I'd like to do with this thread is share with you smoking related tooth and gum related research. It's my hope that doing so might help you further appreciate the importance of the mission at hand ... no nicotine today! But should you experience the worst dental nightmare imaginable, I sincerely hope you feel as I do. I'll take toothlessness any day over ever going back to living as nicotine's slave! Anyway, if at all concerned about relapse, what sense would relapse make if it means losing more teeth sooner?
Knowledge and understanding isn't just power but a quitting method. We hope you'll continue reading at Freedom and WhyQuit, and become smarter than your addiction is strong. Millions of words but just one rule ... no nicotine today!
Breathe deep, hug hard, live long,
John (Gold x10)

Haitian quake survivors leaving camps for a place they can call home
By Dennis Sadowski, Catholic News Service
WASHINGTON (CNS) -- It took almost two years, but Haitian earthquake survivor Sonya Mallebranche has a place she can call home again.
It's only three rooms, making it less than perfect, Mallebranche admits, especially for four adults and three toddler grandchildren. But Mallebranche, 51, finds it far better than living in a tattered tent in the fetid, dusty camp known as Petite Place Cazeau alongside hundreds of others displaced by the powerful Jan. 12, 2010, earthquake that leveled much of the region around Port-au-Prince.
"I'm so much more comfortable. Now I can sleep peacefully. Now I have my family with me," Mallebranche told Catholic News Service Jan. 5 via cell phone from her new home.
"I am really happy to have that house," she said through a translator.
Mallebranche's family was among 460 families that have moved from the camp into long-term housing since November under a pilot program initiated by Catholic Relief Services, the U.S. bishops' overseas relief and development agency.
Called Ann Ale Lakay, Creole for Let's Go Home, the program is designed to address a variety of needs in addition to long-term housing by preparing camp dwellers frustrated by months of living in squalid conditions for a return to some sense of normalcy. The program incorporates two professional psychologists and 12 social workers to guide earthquake survivors in resolving conflict, managing money and overcoming the sense of loss that lingers two years after disaster disrupted their lives.
"We realized there was a lot of fear about moving out of the camps, about restarting their lives after the earthquake," explained Luke King, CRS country director in Haiti. "People were concerned about how to go about returning to a normal life."
Samuel Petit-Homme, deputy resettlement manager for CRS, helps administer the program, which he said takes about six weeks from introduction to moving day. Before camp residents are enrolled, social workers and psychologists work with camp and local political leaders to explain how it works and what it's meant to accomplish, he said.
As families complete the program, they are offered a $500 voucher to assist with their relocation. They are urged to approach a property owner to negotiate a yearlong rental agreement. King said some heads of families have proven to be strong negotiators, coming to terms on an agreement that costs less than the $500 being offered. Families can then pocket the difference while CRS pays the rent directly to property owners.
Families also get health insurance coverage for six months through the program as they get settled, said Niek de Goeij, head of programming central for CRS in Haiti. The program stresses the importance of budgeting for that expense -- about $30 for six months of family coverage -- so that when a health care need arises, families are not faced with the choice of bypassing a visit to a doctor or to sell a possession to cover care.
De Goeij explained that the resettlement program was a natural follow-up to the agency's effort that saw about 10,500 transitional shelters built at several locations around the quake zone. While that endeavor resulted in more than 50,000 Haitians being relocated from camps, agency officials realized people needed additional assistance to re-establish their lives, he said.
"It's an emotional experience to see the people move out," he said. "People cheer when they move out of the camps because they're getting into a regular house.
"People doubt whether Haitians are motivated to move out. To me it's an eye-opener to see that when people have a genuine opportunity to exit the camps and (move) into their neighborhood, they jump at it," he said.
The resettlement program has put a small dent in the camp population in and around Port-au-Prince. Aid agencies and the Haitian government estimate that about 500,000 people -- one third of the 1.5 million left homeless by the quake -- remain in the camps. But King said he is seeing more urgent efforts by various agencies working with the government to provide permanent housing.
"The government has gotten very involved in this return process as well," he said. "There's a lot of momentum at this time to help people return home."
Mallebranche said she now lives in more peaceful surroundings, giving her plenty of time to play with her grandsons, a 15-month-old and twin 3-year-olds. The daily headaches she attributed to the excessive heat in the camp have disappeared. And the putrid smell of the camp that she said forced her to leave her tent during daylight hours is gone.
"I'm feeling really good," she said.

Tuesday's primaries promise tiny turnout, but big results
ATLANTA — Republican Senate primaries in Georgia and Kentucky have attracted international attention. But they'll be settled by a relatively small slice of the electorate.
Seven candidates in Georgia want to replace retiring Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss. The race will help determine which party controls the Senate in the final two years of the Obama administration. But early voting suggests fewer than 600,000 ballots will decide which two candidates advance to a July runoff.
That would be at least 78,000 fewer votes than a heated Republican primary for governor in 2010. Georgia has about 5 million active registered voters and about 10 million residents.
In Kentucky, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is expected to coast over Republican primary rival Matt Bevin. But election officials there also expected a low turnout.
In today's Morning Line, our politics team lays Tuesday's races and all of the issues that could resonate on the national political stage. Last week, PBS NewsHour political editor Domenico Montanaro spoke with Judy Woodruff about the growing political polarization evident in the early primaries.

So the charming and energetic Elio Leoni-Sceti is leaving EMI at the end of the month, to be replaced by new executive chairman Charles Allen. I met Mr Leoni-Sceti at the FT's innovation conference in London last year, where he gave an impressive presentation. He seemed to have grasped how serious EMI's problems were, and how radical the company needed to be if it wanted to recover. He was full of interesting, revenue-generating ideas about how an old media company could transform itself into a new media one.
His official statement declares that he has completed his work at EMI, and that it is time for him to move on. But in an interview in the current issue of Management Today magazine, Mr Leoni-Sceti sounded confident that he still had a lot of work left to do.
"We're growing in a declining market, we're gaining share and we've worked out a way to bring creative momentum back," he said. "I'm staying focused on delivering a vision for this business – I'm very dedicated to EMI."
Well, things change fast in business. If Guy Hands has lost faith in his former CEO, then the speed of execution comes as little surprise. Meanwhile, baby-boomers will be pleased to see one of their own, Charles Allen, back at the helm of a media business. He is a very grown-up figure, and if the plan is now to find a merger partner he is the right sort of person to pursue that.
Mr Leoni-Sceti will be back, I predict. He is smart and talented. But I fear his experience will serve only to confirm those wise words of Warren Buffett: "When a management team with a reputation for brilliance tackles a business with a reputation for bad economics, it is the reputation of the business that remains intact."

Inviting a 'cool' guy she met at 'Burning Man', Miley was then advised by a spaced-out Whitney Houston on the use of drugs.
When Miley Cyrus hit the headlines earlier this week for her "stoner" comment, it was inevitable that the writers of "Saturday Night Live" scribbled last-minute sketch for this week's episode. In the new segment of "The Miley Cyrus Show", the actress was parodied with the help of Steve Buscemi and Maya Rudolph as Jeff and Whitney Houston respectively.
"You know you smoke way too much f'n weed when your friends get you a Bob Marley cake," Vanessa Bayer's Miley said in the monologue joke, too wasted that she munched down Dorito's. Her first guest was "a hilarious, awesome guy" named Jeff whom she met at "Burning Man". Together they unveiled their collaborative music video for sitar-ridden song "Dancin' with the Dogs".
Miley's father Billy Ray Cyrus, played by Jason Sudeikis, then brought in Whitney to the show to "warn against the dangers of drug use". Imitating the singer while spaced-out, Maya called the ex-husband Bobby Brown by several names such as "Bobby Ray? Bobby B? Boopity Boop?"
Steve was the host of the night while The Black Keys appeared as musical guest.

The next movie is called Fences. Starring Denzel Washington and Viola Davis, while I can't complain about the acting I could not finish the movie. I love both of these actors! The story is about a African American man in the 1950's coming to terms with life. While I didn't really have a hard time with the angry black man storyline because to be honest black men of that era had a ton to be angry about, my biggest gripe with the movie was that I honestly had a hard time understanding what they were saying. I only watched 30 minutes before I had to turn it off because the mental exercise of trying to understand what they were saying was just too exhausting. Bad on my part I suppose because I know this is how Black people speak and it made the movie authentic, but it was just too much for me.
Sloan is a two thumbs up movie! Love it! Totally Brilliant! Jessica Chastain once again delivers a first rate movie. The movie has all the similarities to a John Grisham movie of the 1990's. Wish they would make more movies like those! This movie is about a female lobbyist who decides to take on the Gun industry and work on passing anti-gun legislation. Whether you are for or against it doesn't really matter as this movie is really about the effect of lobbyist on Washington. The movie will have you on your edge of the seat the whole time and you will never guess the ending.
While Hollywood and critics declared this movie brilliant and a masterpiece this was also another movie I could not finish. The story line is about a teenage boy who has lost his father and his uncle who he is then left in the care of his uncle. The uncle feels he is unworthy of the job. Maybe the story is brilliant, but I just could not get past the f words one after another. I ended up falling asleep. Since I rented it I tried to watch it again when I wasn't so tired, but nothing about the story or it's characters drew me into the story and so in the end I ended up turning it off and watching the next episode of This is Us!
The Great Wall of China was another failure in my book. Not my usual genre of movie I like to watch, but when my husband asked me to go to this movie I said, "I would love too," because he doesn't ask me to go to the movie that often. One of the things I was looking forward to was seeing scenery of China, but that wasn't really the case. The movie takes primarily around the wall and except for one scene in the Summer Palace that is all you get to see of China. I will give the movie credit for a couple of funny comical moments in the movie, but overall I thought the storyline offered very little depth. I came walking away knowing very little about the characters and how they got to be where they were at in the movie. While the movie could have offered a love scene between Matt Damon and the main warrior actress, the audience got nothing. Now if you love martial arts than this movie will be a big hit!
Up next is Beauty and the Beast which debuted in the theater yesterday. The Girls were so excited to see this movie and I was a little guarded about the movie because I had seen reviews stating that Disney was using this movie to push their gay agenda. This I did not find in the movie. They christian critics said that Disney was using the character of Lefou who is Gastons sidekick to bring in the concept of homosexual love, and as hard as I looked I did not find any of the claims to be true except for like two seconds at the end where all the characters are dancing and you see two men who switch partners and end up in each others arms. I actually loved this version better than the cartoon version because of all the new songs they introduced. I loved Emma Watson as Bell and was thrilled to see Emma Thompson as Mrs. Potts. Keven Kline did a great job as Bell's father and the scenery and costumes were lovely. My only complaint about this movie would have to be it that it was a little scary for the 2-6 age range. Wish they had downplayed the wolf scene and the Beast was also a little too scary. I had to tell my girls to close there eyes a few minutes a couple times during the movie because they were begging to go home. Overall they loved the movie though and so it gets a thumbs up in my book. Have you seen any good movies lately? What are you enjoying watching on TV?

"Our lives a series of defining moments, strung together by passing time. Surrender fully to this moment, because it is not the moment itself that defines us, but how we choose to live in it."
"Live life fully while you're here. Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy, be weird. Go out and screw up! You're going to anyway, so you might as well enjoy the process. Take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes: find the cause of your problem and eliminate it. Don't try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human."
"To live in this single moment, this lightest breath, this softest touch, to be captured by this smallest, this briefest space of time, to be fully present, alive, consumed in this instant alone, this is truly living."

West Virginia notebook: WVU, Okla. St. similar in all phases
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — It's no secret that West Virginia and Oklahoma State are similar teams. Head coach Dana Holgorsen, who was the Oklahoma State offensive coordinator in 2010, said it's like looking in a mirror on offense, defense and special teams. So when two teams know each other that well, what's the difference in the game? "It comes down to the effort being there," Holgorsen said. "They play with tremendous effort, so we have to play with tremendous effort."
• That also means play-calling signals are similar, too. Holgorsen said his team changes its signals every week, but it will be even more important this week. "I've watched a couple of their (Oklahoma State's) TV copies here, and I can call out about 90 percent of their plays," he said, "I'd assume that's something that is on their mind, as well as it is on our mind. We have to be careful what we do from both an offensive standpoint and a defensive standpoint."
• Holgorsen said the defense showed improvement in Saturday's loss to TCU. A possible reason was defensive coordinator Joe DeForest moved from the field to the press box to call the game. "I thought it would help Joe to be in a sterile environment," Holgorsen said. "There are a lot of bullets flying on the sidelines and there is a lot of stuff going on. It is not uncommon for an offensive or defensive coordinator to call it from the box. It's because it is quiet and he can see better."
• This week's road game could be good for West Virginia. Road teams in the Big 12 have won 16 of 27 (.593) conference games this season, a record pace. "It's crazy," Holgorsen said. Over the first 16 years of the Big 12, home teams have a .594 winning percentage. West Virginia team is 1-1 on the road this season but 1-2 at home.
• Running back Shawne Alston (thigh) played for the first time in four games Saturday, finishing with seven carries for 16 yards and a touchdown. Though Holgorsen appreciated Alston's effort, it was clear the senior wasn't healthy enough to contribute. "Presence was good. Mentality was good. Health was not good," Holgorsen said. "He's a different guy now than he was the first couple of games."

She was guest of honour of her friend Andrew Logan at his Festival of Fashion in Berriew, near Welshpool, at the weekend.
Ms Rhodes and other industry experts staged workshops for students from Coleg Powys Newtown and others.
It culminated on Sunday with a fashion show, when Ms Rhodes and the young hopefuls exhibited their work.
Zandra Rhodes was one of the new wave of British designers who put London at the forefront of the international fashion scene in the 1970s.
She said: "Andrew and I have been friends since the early 70s, partly because a lot of my friends are artists.
"I commissioned him to do a portrait of me that is now in the National Portrait Gallery.
"We are really just two great friends and mutual admirers of each other's work."
Question session
Ms Rhodes, whose first solo exhibition was in Cardiff in 1978, said she saw the weekend as a contribution to the future of fashion.
"When you get to a certain age, it's quite nice if you can also help to be an inspiration to other people."
Mr Logan's festival was held at his museum of sculpture in Berriew and its community centre.
A sculptor and artist, he also designs and makes jewellery. Among the owners of his work are singer Sir Elton John and actress and comedian Dawn French.
On Saturday evening, festivalgoers had the opportunity to fire questions at Ms Rhodes and Mr Logan.
During the day there was a hat workshop with designer Brian Harris and a film costume workshop with Whittaker and Malem, who worked on the films Troy and the James Bond blockbuster Die Another Day.
The costumes and hats were worn at the fashion show on Sunday, which also featured some of Ms Rhodes' designs with Mr Logan's jewellery.
Also on Sunday, there was be a fashion jumble sale at the old school hall in Berriew.

Press Release: 07/19/2013
Oakland Zoo Honors Zoo Keepers During National Zoo Keeper WeekContact:
|Nicky Mora, Senior Manager, Marketing/PR
|(510) 632-9525 x130
In recognition of the dedication of zoo keepers and aquarists, Oakland Zoo is joining the American Association of Zoo Keepers (AAZK) (www.aazk.org) and zoos across the nation celebrate National Zoo Keeper Week July 21-27.
Oakland Zoo employs more than thirty-eight zoo keepers to provide quality humane animal care to over 660 animals (from African elephants to otters to tiny ants and insects) that currently live at the Zoo.
"We have dedicated zoo keepers and are truly blessed to have dozens of staff members that work day in and day out with our diverse collection of animals," said Dr. Joel Parrott, President and CEO of Oakland Zoo. "Many of the animal species featured throughout Oakland Zoo are ambassadors to animals in the wild that are at risk of becoming extinct. Our Zoo Keepers are advocates for the animals they care for and they strive to make the public aware of issues facing animals in the wild. We work really hard at spreading the message of conservation and our keepers play an integral role in that process."
"National Zoo Keeper Week is an opportunity for us to acknowledge Keepers for what they do and thank them for the care they continue to provide our animals at Oakland Zoo," said Colleen Kinzley, Director of Animal Care, Conservation, and Research. "One of the core beliefs our Keepers all embody is educating the public about pets, specifically which animals do and do not make good pets. Besides educating the public about the animals, our keepers go to great lengths to provide the most natural and enriching environment for the creatures in their care. Not only do the animals benefit from the creative ideas, all of the keepers share their successes and new ways to keep animals stimulated. We all learn from each other and no day working with animals is ever the same."
"The American Association of Zoo Keepers is excited to announce National Zoo Keeper Week," said Shane Good, President of the American Association of Zoo Keepers, inc. "This national celebration is in recognition of Zoo keepers, aquarists, and the animal care professionals in our nation's zoological parks and aquariums. Zoo keepers serve as animal care experts, frontline educators, and conservationists. We are proud to have zoo keepers recognized for the important work they do on behalf of wildlife and conservation."
Created by AAZK, Inc, National Zoo Keeper Week is celebrated each year beginning on the third Sunday in July. During the week, zoos nationwide honor animal care professionals and the work they do in animal care, conservation, and education. There are approximately 6,000 animal care professionals in the United States.
To help increase public awareness about the need to preserve our precious habitats and the animals which inhabit them and to recognize the roles that zoo keepers play in animal conservation and education, the American Association of Zoo Keepers invites zoos, aquariums, and their guests to participate in National Zoo Keeper Week.
The Bay Area's award-winning Oakland Zoo is home to more than 660 native and exotic animals. The Zoo offers many educational programs and kid's activities perfect for science field trips, family day trips and exciting birthday parties. Nestled in the Oakland Hills, in 500-acre Knowland Park, the Zoo is located at 9777 Golf Links Road, off Highway 580. The East Bay Zoological Society (Oakland Zoo) is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization supported in part by members, contributions, the City of Oakland and the East Bay Regional Parks.

Today, U.S. Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin released the following statement in response to the Senate passing the conference report on the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
"This bill is critical because South Dakotans didn't cause the near-collapse of the economy but we sure paid a price for it. I am pleased the bill has passed the last hurdle and will now go to the President for his signature, because it is imperative we do more to protect thousands of South Dakota families and small businesses."
Herseth Sandlin voted in favor of the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act when it passed the House of Representatives on June 30.

Wonderful time on first transatlantic cruise: Emerald Princess Cruise Review by drj78
Overall Member Rating
Wonderful time on first transatlantic cruise
Destination: Transatlantic
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
The Emerald Princess was immaculate, with no signs of wear or tear anywhere. Our cabin steward, AUJ ("AJ") did a great job of cleaning everything whenever we disappeared from the cabin for a while. We would frequenly see him as we left or More came back, and his friendliness, smile, and "have a good day" or "welcome back" were always appreciated.
We usually book a mini-suite on Princess, but this time we were offered an upgrade to a full suite (D736 at the rear of the ship). It wasn't free, but we considered the cost to be a bargain considering what we got. The cabin, of course, was about twice the size of a mini-suite and included a whirlpool tub as well as a shower, and the balcony was about four times as large, with a table and four chairs, two lounge chairs, and two side tables--all of wood rather than plastic or aluminum. From Fort Lauderdale to Bermuda, rolled-up beach towels were in the lounge chairs each day. Once we left Bermuda and the weather became much cooler, the towels were replaced by warm, 100% wool blankets.
We had read on line that there was a "post" coming up through the balcony of this particular cabin, but we found a photo of it and decided it would be no problem. Indeed, the post is an integral part of the structure of the ship, but it is way towards one side of the balcony and does not in any way interefere with enjoyment of the space. The balcony is on the rear of the ship, and we greatly enjoyed lounging there with the wake passing beneath us. The balcony protrudes from the rear of the ship, with a wrap-around end, so the view is phenomenal.
The entertainment was superior. The production shows and comedians were wonderful, but our favorite was Arnie G, who played the piano and sang every night in Crooner's bar. He is a phenomenal talent. In other review, someone made negative comments about the ego of cruise director Billy London. However, he was the best we have had on any cruise, and is a great singer. On several nights he joined Arnie G in performances.
We especially appreciated the large number of tables on deck. Whenever we wanted to eat outside, we could find a space to do so without having to balance plates on our laps.
Room service meals always arrived at the time requested and were delicous. One of the perks of a suite is breakfast at Sabatini's (the Italian restaurant in the evening). They will prepare pretty much whatever you wish, and the food and service were both wonderful.
We had arranged a day in Copenhagen through Princess, and the transfer and hotel were great.
All in all, this was a wonderful cruise, and we recommend the Emerald Princess without reservation. Less

Refreshing jQuery Mobile listviews, buttons, select dropdowns, and input fields
Filed under: jQuery Mobile
comments (35) Views: 98,162
jQuery Mobile is an excellent framework for mobile development and you probably already know how much I love working with it. That's not to say that it doesn't have it's problems. A big pain point that many developers run into happens the minute they try to use code to add, update, or remove elements from a page using JavaScript. In this blog post I've compiled a list of jQuery Mobile widgets and the ways that you can refresh them after programmatic changes are made.
There's generally two reasons you'd ever want to refresh an element on the page. First reason is if you're adding something to the page that wasn't already there. A good example of this is a new button, or an additional checkbox. The second reason is when you make a change to an existing element: changing the selected item in a combobox, or the checked item in a radio button series. Regardless of the reason, jQuery Mobile provides a fairly consistent means by which to reload each sort of element as you can see from the list below. I've tried to provide a chunk of HTML where it might help the example.
Textarea fields
Text input fields
Combobox or select dropdowns
Slider control
Toggle switch

THE National Blood Service has defended itself after the president of the American Red Cross said she would avoid blood from British people because she feared contamination from BSE.
Bernadine Healy said: "I would do everything I could not to have one, but I wouldn't want to have a transfusion in New York for that matter, but that is my own personal assessment of potential risk.
"We do not know if there is a silent reservoir of people who are carrying this disease who may be blood donors."
The American Red Cross, which supplies about half the United States' blood, is poised to implement a controversial strategy to reject European blood donors in case they are contaminated with vCJD, the human form of mad cow disease.
But the National Blood Service said it had taken precautions to safeguard blood donated in Britain from the brain-eating disease.
Spokesman Chris Hartley said: "Her comments are her own views and she is entitled to them. We have erred on the side of caution against this unknown risk and taken various precautions."
There is no evidence that any BSE-related illness has been spread through blood transfusions, but US federal health officials have decided a European blood donor ban is an appropriate precaution. The decision, which blood banks have expected for some time, is controversial because the US has blood shortages.

|The fourth hole at Candler Hills Golf Club is the longest par-4 in Florida, at 669 yards. (Tim McDonald/WorldGolf.com)
OCALA, Fla. - The people at Candler Hills Golf Club, like many Florida golf courses, like to advertise their course as an "atypical" Florida course.
That might be the subject of debate, but there is definitely one characteristic of the course you don't often find in the courses of this golf-happy, flat peninsula nearly surrounded by salt water and inundated in the interior by lakes, rivers, streams and marsh:
No water. As in, none.
It turns out the owner of the course and the community that surrounds it, Sidney Cohen, doesn't like alligators.
Well, who does?
Anyway, no alligators, but they do have pygmy rattlesnakes, if you like a little wild in your wildlife.
Set in the middle of Ocala's horse country, 10 minutes west of Interstate 75, Candler Hills measures a whopping 7,333 yards from the back tees, including what course officials claim is the longest par-5 in Florida, the 669-yard fourth hole. It's also slightly uphill and often into the wind.
Don't let that scare you. The five sets of tees go down to 4,877 yards, and besides, the course is nearly as big sideways as it is lengthwise.
"Big fairways, big greens and no water," said Jeff Hill, the assistant professional, singing the high-handicapper's love song.
True enough, the fairways stretch almost from Ocala to the Gulf of Mexico, and you'll get to enjoy your big stick here.
No. 6 - "The Big Banana" - to name just one hole, is a good example. It's 595-yards from the back tees, and you're advised to stay left for the best angle in. But, slicers, and there are many, will be happy to note that even if you're wild right, you'll still have an unobstructed poke at it; the angle into the green will just be a little more awkward and over a bunker to boot.
These wide-open spaces can be a little deceiving when you pull up to the first tee, which is most likely what Naples golf architect Gordon Lewis intended when he designed it.
"You get out on No. 1 and you say, 'I'm going to shoot 62,'" said Jason Schuman, the course's head professional. "Then you get the wind in your face, and it's a different story."
True enough, the course is only 2 1/2 years old, and the few trees there are - mainly little growths of slash pine and sabal palm - haven't had time to mature and are defenseless when the wind whips across this expanse of central Florida. As in most courses susceptible to the wind, the strategy can be drastically altered.
Then there is the rough, which can be nasty in spots, particularly around the greens. The greens themselves, nicely sloped and undulating, are in excellent shape, but in late November, they are very slow. Course officials say that will change soon and the greens will be rolling about an impressive 12 on the Stimpmeter.
"When they get fast, if you're above the hole, it's almost impossible," Hill said.
Candler Hills Golf Club is one of three golf courses in the On Top of the World Communities, a sprawling, "active-adult" development. The other two, the Links and the Tortoise & the Hare, are private.
The whole shebang is located on a large piece of central Florida plains formerly known as the Circle Square Ranch.
The various ornamental grasses, like love grass, spartina, cord grass and Fakahatchee, give the course a nice aesthetic touch, as do the ubiquitous waste areas.
Green fees are very reasonable.
There is a practice facility and an excellent restaurant.
The Fairfield Inn Marriott in Ocala is in a great spot to enjoy the golf the area has to offer. It's right off I-75 on State Road 200.
The hotel has all the amenities you expect from a Marriott property, including large guest rooms with in-room, high-speed Internet access, an outdoor swimming pool with a whirlpool, and a fitness center.
The three-story building has nearly 100 rooms. The Fairfield has a free continental breakfast. There is no restaurant but several are nearby.

Any opinions expressed above are those of the writer and do not necessarily represent the views of the management.
The Club at Chatham Hills is a private, Pete Dye design with a plum location just north of Indianapolis. Weaving over an idyllic landscape of beautiful topography, this new course is truly a bright spot in American golf.

Ehh, that's BS. OEM just means Original Equipment Manufacture. It is meant for people building computers. True OEM is legit. You get a CD and a genuine CD key. In my 20 something years, i have only seen one instance of pirated being passed off as OEM, and that was back in the early 90s. Just make sure it has the MS seal. If it is bogus, avoid or return. Amazon and eBay have great policies about pirated goods. And if you buy from Amazon itself and not one of resellers listed on Amazon, you're guaranteed to get a legit copy.
The only real difference between OEM and retail is that MS only wants you to install on one computer with OEM. Retail copies allow you to reinstall on a second computer if the first computer no longer has it installed and functioning. Basically, you can keep your same copy if you migrate to a new computer with a retail version.

Republican Matt Bevin is a Heaven-sent choice for Kentucky voters in the upcoming U.S. Senate primary election.
That's according to conservative radio show host Glenn Beck, who gave a rousing speech at a rally for conservative grassroots activists over the weekend.
Beck was the keynote speaker at FreePAC Kentucky on Saturday afternoon.
The event that was organized by FreedomWorks and featured a number of tea party activists and candidates from across the country and state, including Bevin, who spoke on a variety of issues.
Holding up historic relics to pinpoint certain fights against Nazism, socialism and radical Islam, Beck praised Bevin as the alternative that Kentucky conservatives have prayed for.
"I will tell you I met the guys you had speaking. Some of them I've met several times," he said. "Matt Bevin, I have not met. I've talked to him several times and I had a good feeling. But I am telling you, I believe that man was called of God."
Organizers estimate that over 3,500 people attended the event, which was aimed at training grassroots activists ahead of the upcoming election.
Those at the assembly also heard from speakers such as FreedomWorks President and CEO Matt Kibbe, Senate candidate Chris McDaniel of Mississippi, and Bevin, who spoke just before Beck took the stage.
During Beck's speech, the former Louisville radio shock jock was especially critical of Bevin's opponent, incumbent Sen. Mitch McConnell, saying the GOP leader was no better than the current president.
"I told you at the very beginning what this administration tries to do to you, and what the progressives on the right–let me tell you something, Mitch McConnell is as a big of a danger to this country as Barack Obama is," said Beck. "The progressive disease is in both parties. Big government is a philosophy in both parties."
Beck told told the crowd that voters are about to put McConnell "out of business very soon."
The McConnell campaign punched back during the event, however, saying while the senator is working for Kentuckians that Bevin "clowns around with out of state groups." They also dinged some of the speakers for saying Social Security was a "ponzi scheme."
McConnell campaign adviser Josh Holmes highlighted the contrast via Twitter:
Mitch McConnell spends the day honoring a KY hero w/ a purple heart, Matt Bevin w/ out of staters who say social security a ponzi scheme— Josh Holmes (@HolmesJosh) April 5, 2014
While Beck and other speakers took jabs at McConnell, Bevin's speech avoided mentioning the senator by name.
Instead, Bevin, a Louisville businessman, recited passages from Thomas Paine and urged supporters to get out the vote while taking indirect jabs at McConnell for refusing to join any debates.
"What kind of leader wants to punch his followers in the nose? What kind of leader wants to crush the very people that he expects like sheep to then get in line and follow along behind him? Let me tell you, this is America," said Bevin.
"If you are such a revered, and powerful, and thoughtful, and all-knowing and so necessary to have type of leader, why would you be afraid to debate?"

I'm using the conflict refiner with a small MIP model and I noticed that the time elapsed to solve the model is quite fewer than the time spent by the conflict refiner. For instance, the MIP optimization takes 0.01 seconds but the conflict refiner may take 15-20 seconds. Since I run this model over and over (thousands of times), I wish to know a brief of what the conflict refiner does and whether this discrepancy in the time is normal.
I also wonder if someone could tell me a web link or a paper that describes it a bit deeper.
Thanks in advance!

Re: About the usage of the conflict refiner2012-11-15T23:28:45ZThis is the accepted answer. This is the accepted answer.I take it the MIP is infeasible? The conflict refiner looks for a minimal set of constraints, bounds and integrality conditions that are mutually inconsistent. Minimality implies that deleting any of those restrictions means that the subset of constraints/bounds/integer restrictions becomes feasible (although the overall model may remain infeasible). Winnowing the entire model down to an irreducible conflict is where the extra time is burned. This is entirely normal.
Mathematicians are like Frenchmen: whenever you say something to them, they translate it into their own language, and at once it is something entirely different. (Goethe)

According to your response, we see clearly that there is no difference between the output and the conflict refiner output IIS finder. Normally and from what I've read the documentation CPLEX, the output of IIS finder is an irreducible inconsistent set so that the output of Conflict refiner is not necessarily an IIS (irreducible inconsistent set), the heuristic behind Conflict refiner "black box CPLEX" find the minimal inconsistent set of constraints (th set is not necessarily irreducible).
Thank you :)

Toyota: How the Hybrid Race Went to the Swift
Toyota (TM ) not only makes more profit than any other automaker but also enjoys the best reputation for producing clean-running, fuel-efficient vehicles. Its gas-electric hybrid Prius is a public relations juggernaut and the centerpiece of a lineup with an average fuel efficiency of 28.9 miles per gallon, second only to Honda's fleet average. General Motors Corp. (GM ) and Ford Motor Co. (F ), which sell more pickup trucks and SUVs than Toyota, lag behind in fuel economy, with averages of 24.6 and 24.1 mpg, respectively, for their fleets.
As Toyota prepares to motor past Ford as the world's second-largest carmaker, it has become a textbook case on how a green reputation delivers a competitive edge. In the five years since the Prius' U.S. debut, Toyota's brand value has surged by 47%, to $28 billion, according to Interbrand. In the same period, Ford has been beset with numerous troubles, including a failure to meet its goals for SUV mileage gains or to exploit its well-regarded Escape hybrid. Its brand value fell 70%, to $11 billion.
How did Detroit blow it? More than anything, through inertia. For 20 years, GM and Ford earned outsize profits on supersize trucks and SUVs. And following the infamous failure of GM's EV1 electric car, a high-tech, high-cost econo-box seemed like anything but a good bet.
Detroit simply didn't see the potential for Toyota's odd little electric-gas car when the Prius made its debut in Japan 10 years ago. When energy prices spiked, Toyota was ready with a high-tech offering that many consumers embraced. Today, even if hybrids aren't exactly cost-effective, consumers keep buying them. From a few thousand sold in the U.S. in 2000, Toyota expects to move 250,000 hybrids next year. "We didn't appreciate the image value of hybrids," concedes GM's research and development chief, Larry Burns. "We missed that."
There's an ironic side to all this. In the U.S., GM sells more models that get more than 30 mpg than any other carmaker. And two Ford SUVs, the Expedition and Explorer, go farther on a gallon of gas than do Toyota's like-size models. "Toyota's fame for hybrids allows consumers to believe every one of its vehicles is the most fuel-efficient in its category—even if it isn't," says marketing consultant Dan Gorrell.
Now, GM has announced a plug-in Saturn hybrid and an advanced plug-in electric Chevy car. Both come ahead of any similar moves from Toyota. But GM has also set and missed such goals in the past. The value of green, it seems, only accrues when the rubber meets the road.

Unlimited machines. Automated uploads. Self-contained media playing and viewing. File sharing. Mailed USB upload drive service. Windows Explorer indications of backed up files. Backs up external drives. iPhone and iPad apps.
Still no Mac OS version. No Explorer right-click menu or pause option. No file version saving.
Bottom Line
MiMedia offers hands-off, automated backup, the ability to play media files online, and a cloud-based disk drive. For more control over the upload process and backup set, SOS has it beat, and for simple syncing, DropBox is a better bet. But if you want anywhere access to your digital media, you could do a lot worse than the reasonably priced and well-designed MiMedia.
MiMedia adds an icon to your system tray, from which you can see your backup status and change the active and idle bandwidth limits. One add I'd like to see is a Pause option, in case you just want to use all your Internet bandwidth for something else, like uploading a video to YouTube or downloading new music.
As with Carbonite, MiMedia presents a drive icon in your My Computer folder, showing all of your connected devices and their respective files. You can load documents directly from this as though it were a network drive, and MiMedia adds its own m: drive, which you can also use as a network drive, dropping files onto it and loading docs from it. But, in my tests, you can't compare it to an actual net drive: It's far slower. From the desktop app's window, you can also start the process of adding another drive or launch the web dashboard.
It's in the Web Dashboard that MiMedia shows its special talents. It's a streamlined, lightly-colored portal that's reminiscent of iTunes. Here you can view your photos, play your music, and watch your videos from within the browser and control them with media keys—no third-party apps required, unlike Dropbox and other competitors. Its top menu choices are music, photos, videos, backups, and m: drive. The backups choice is what lets you change what's backed up, and from this choice, too, you can initiate a complete file restore. Of course, you can use the MiMedia virtual drive under My Computer to restore chosen files and folders, too.
MiMedia's Web players for pictures were good-looking and quick-performing. Albums, both music and photo, are shown at the top, and thumbnails show album art and key photos. Video can be shown full screen, and all of the major file formats played without a problem. MiMedia's CEO, Erik Zamkoff, told me that the viewers support over 100 video formats and 125 image formats. One restriction for both music and video is that DRM-protected files won't play, and won't even be stored in the service. But with iTunes and Amazon MP3s now DRM free, this is less of a problem than it used to be. As well as playing the media files on the service's web page, you can download them from the same player page.
Restoring files or entire drives is not complicated: You simply click on the Restore Backup button next to the drive you want to restore, and you're immediately presented with a ZIP file for download. The resulting file maintains the folder structure used by the originals. But you won't see any previous versions of files the way to do in SOS Online Backup and DropBox. MiMedia really does focus on consumer media, rather than the online business document scenario where versions can be crucial. In my tests, all files arrived safe and intact.
Sharing is very simply and well handled in MiMedia. From any gallery, image, or file page on the web site, you can click the prominent Share link with a gear icon, and you'll get a popup asking for the e-mail addresses of those with whom you want to share the content. In my test share, the email arrived immediately, but was sent to Hotmail's junk folder. The recipient doesn't need to create a MiMedia account, and can either see the shared item in the services online viewers or download it. In all, sharing in MiMedia is well done.
Mobile Apps
You can also access your music, photos, and videos using the MiMedia's iOS apps for the iPhone and iPad. After signing into the iPad version with my credentials, I was presented with a very basic interface with let me view content by category (music, photos, videos). Tapping the photos or videos categories opened a grid of fast-loading thumbnails; bringing a finger to those let me open an enlarged photo, or play video. Video playback was very smooth over my home and office networks.
Tapping "Music" let me view songs by artist or album, or view a list of every track that I've uploaded. Purchased tracks even displayed album art which looked great on the iPad's large display. An update brought a new download bar (for seeing the status of your downloads), music playlist support, and bug fixes to make it more stable. All in all, the app performed wonderfully, and is a must-have for iPad-toting MiMedia users.
A MiMedia Android App is coming shortly.
Should You Use MiMedia for Your Media?
MiMedia nicely combines cloud-synced folders, online storage, backup, and media playing in an attractive, simple interface. And its offer of a USB drive to spare users the time and bandwidth needed to upload many gigabytes of content makes sense in a day of 12-megapixel cameras and HD camcorders, and will only continue as time goes on. I also like that the service exacts no penalty for multi-PC households, as online backup services like Carbonite and Mozy do.
If you just want synced folders, our syncing Editors' Choice Dropbox (4 stars, $9.99/month) is a better fit. If you need versioning and more control over the upload set, look to SOS Online Backup, our online backup Editors' Choice. But if the idea of anytime access to your photos, videos, music, and documents appeals to you, MiMedia is an attractive, reasonably priced option.

Jan 9, 2014 - From staff reportsThe company donated $15,000 to the nonprofit organization in 2013.
The Habitat for Humanity affiliate for Fremont County had a workday Nov. 23. Braving the cold early morning temperatures, local volunteers joined faculty and students from the Riverton High School James H. Moore Career Center to install trusses on the house.
Wells Fargo employees stepped up to provide about 10 volunteers in the effort. The Wells Fargo Housing Foundation awarded a grant to Habitat for $15,000 in 2013.
The Wells Fargo Housing Foundation supports neighborhood revitalization initiatives by partnering with local nonprofits to construct, repair and rehabilitate affordable housing. The foundation, which is one of the nation's largest suppliers of volunteers to Habitat for Humanity and Rebuilding Together, celebrated its 5,000th volunteer home build this year as well as its 20th anniversary.
Since 1993, the foundation has invested more than $278 million dollars in support of affordable housing and community revitalization programs, including $39 million in grants to credit and housing counseling agencies. It also has provided more than $18 million in grants through its Leading the Way Home Program Priority Markets Initiative, which offers grants for large building or renovation projects.
This project represents the first house produced as a result of a partnership between Habitat for Humanity and the Riverton High School James H. Moore Career Center Geometry in Construction curriculum, which started in August. The Geometry in Construction program offers students an opportunity to apply classroom geometry and construction principles to an actual building project.
Len Abernathy and Beau Sheets, both teachers at RHS, supervised about 10 students and Wells Fargo employees while leading the building effort. Abernathy also handled the lunch menu, providing smoked pork for the entire construction crew.
Habitat for Humanity, an international Christian ministry, serves low-income families seeking home ownership opportunities but who don't qualify for traditional lending. New homeowners have no down payment cost, a 0 percent interest rate and the mortgage is carried by Habitat. Habitat homes primarily are built for families with young children with 80 percent of all homes being built for single parent families.

text: Self-management By Mayo Clinic Staff Print Coping and supportThe unpredictability of Behcet's disease can make it particularly frustrating. Taking good care of yourself may help you better cope. Your approach to caring for yourself will depend on what signs and symptoms you're feeling on a particular day. In general, try to: Rest during flares. When signs and symptoms appear, take time for yourself. Be flexible and adjust your schedule when possible so that you can rest when you need it. It's also a good idea to keep stress to a minimum, because stress can aggravate your symptoms. Be active when you have the energy. Moderate exercise, such as walking or swimming, can make you feel better between Behcet's disease flares. Exercise strengthens your body, helps keep your joints flexible and can improve your mood. Connect with others. Because Behcet's is a rare disorder, it may be difficult to find others with the disease nearby. Ask your doctor about support groups in your area. If it's not possible to connect with someone close, the American Behcet's Disease Association offers message boards and chat rooms where you can connect with other people who have Behcet's.
