Healthy Valentine's Day for Singles
You Stay Slimmer
Women who live alone gained less weight (about 9 pounds over a five-year period) than newly married women, a study from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill notes. "Men have a higher calorie allowance, so if you have whatever he's having, you're going to gain weight," says Tara Brass, M.D., medical director of Columbus Park Collaborative.
Advice for all Shared meals and social obligations can wreck any woman's diet. Make sure you don't match every forkful with your man—just because he finishes his entire plate doesn't mean you have to. When dining out with friends, suggest that you both order something healthy, then split a dessert. Everybody wins!

If you are interested in finding the World Championship roster for Team Canada (so far), you can get it here. I get the impression that the team is waiting to add Tyler Seguin if the Bruins lose tonight, or Mike Green/ Brooks Laich if the Caps lose.
Dobber Nation will be delayed for about a week. With all the changes going down, it's been tough to find a mutually workable time for an interview and we would like to have Brendan Ross on to discuss the new site - Dobber Prospects.
How does he do it? How does Martin Brodeur get away with facing so few shots, seemingly every game? If the Devils win the series, next year we won't be talking about how Brodeur faced 135 shots in 5.5 games, or just 16 shots in a Game 6 that went into overtime. No, we'll be talking about how Brodeur got the Devils into the second round. Amazing. When you're a legend, your exploits start writing themselves.
Give Travis Zajac six points in six games after posting just six points in 15 games. That added rest to heal up the Achilles the second time has really worked wonders. Getting back on the first line has helped, too.
With one point in six playoff games, Adam Henrique has 11 in his last 29 overall. Zajac's great play does have a side effect…
Steve Bernier has really stepped up, too. Despite seeing nine or 10 minutes of ice time per game, he has three points in six contests (he had six in 32 in the season).
Marek Zidlicky – six games, two assists, 24 minutes of average ice time. Peter Harrold – six games, two assists, 14:32 of average ice time.
Kris Versteeg and Sean Bergenheim continue to step it up in the playoffs. Versteeg was only average for the Flyers in the playoffs, but his Blackhawks performance was great, and now he has five points in six games for Florida. While Bergenheim has 12 goals in his 22 playoff games.
Jose Theodore is out with an undisclosed injury and Scott Clemmensen had a chance to eliminate his old team. Clemmensen and the Panthers were outshot 42-16 and still nearly pulled it off.
I saw some spirited arguments over Pacioretty vs. Lupul for the Masterton Trophy on Twitter yesterday. Pretty emotional for a trophy win that will be forgotten in three or four months. It's great to honor perseverance, but seriously I barely remember Hart winners. For what it's worth, Lupul's back injury dragged on for so long and the odds were so against him, I'd lean that way as opposed to Pacioretty's devastating injury that, while gruesome, only knocked him out for three months or so (remember, he was ready to return in the second round if the Habs got there).
I love the spirit of the GM of the Year award, but I don't think it can be properly done. You can't really reward a GM for his work of the past year, but often the true results from it come two years from now. Some of the GM's you think are terrible now, will be terrible in two years. But some of them will be considered in the Top 10 in two years. Which ones? We don't know. My point.
Both Nick Grossmann and Andrej Meszaros were back in practice for the Flyers, but neither were taking contact.
The big news – Roberto Luongo said he'd waive his NTC if asked. Why is that big news? Beats me. I think most players would waive their NTC if asked. They just get to pick where they go.
As Bob McKenzie said on TSN last night, although Luongo has 10 years left on his contract, teams won't be scared off because three of those years are joke years. Really it's a seven-year contract.
Everyone speculates Tampa Bay. I'm with them. Would Toronto bother? Sharks? Hawks? Whoever it is, they would either move salary, or they will be paying just draft picks or prospects. Nothing major to take on a contract like that.
You can hardly see it from this angle, but 13 seconds in you see Michalek, who is on the ice, swinging his leg back and his skate kicks Dan Girardi in the thigh. Shanahan looked at this, but only gave a "warning":
Mike Smith a nice sliding save:

Puckhead said:
Ross, this summer is a very tricky time to move contracts because the league is heading into CBA negotiations. I have to believe that one of the pressing issues will be the buyout, and burying of contracts...it gives the spending teams a definite leg up, and if parity is where they want the league to be, that will be a hot button subject, because there are a lot more teams that don't have the option.
Chris said:
The Canucks have been a post season disappointment for a few years now, and their window to win is shrinking. I dont see Gillis trading either goalie for anything other than a top 6 forward and/or top 4 dman. Picks and prospects do nothing to help the team today, and im positive that the priority is to win now...
Taking that into consideration, TB isnt a great fit. Yzerman has lots of draft picks to move, but not really any players that are signed to similar loungo-type deals.. Vinny maybe, but the Canucks dont need a center and his cap hit would be a bit trickier to fit in. Hedman isnt going anywhere.
TO also isnt a great fit. Schenn and Kadri would be a decent package, but doesnt fit the help-us-win-now criteria... FLA has no players of interest. NJ needs a successor to Brodeur but i dont see a player that fits Van's requirements there either. As for CHI and SJ - unlikely that Lou gets traded to a western conference team. Having said that, a Lou for Marleau trade would make sense for both teams... CHI seems especially unlikely due to the rivalry and Gillis not wanting to face Lou down the road, but CHI does have several players that fit the criteria of instant help and salary/term coming back... (Seabrook, Sharp or Hossa?)
The best fit IMO is with Columbus. I heard they have a star winger who wants out. He is signed to a big long term deal as well, and CBJ could definitely use a goalie. Yes the cap hit is tricky again, but to add a sniper like Nash, im sure Gillis can find a way to make it work.Send Raymond with Lou and next years cap hit is identical. not resigning Salo frees up the money needed for Schneider... Problem solved... So why is nobody talking about Luongo and Raymond for Nash? I would be calling Howson right now if I was Gillis. Columbus is fairly close to FLA, and there would be no pressure, which is an environment Lou would likely thrive in.
I dont like the Canucks and ill be terrified of their potential after they move a goalie, but i disagree 100% with the pundits who suggest that Vancouver is looking for picks and prospects... its time to win, and Nash, Marleau or Lecavalier feel (to me) like much more likely targets for Gillis.
Ross The Boss Palmer said:
The reason why GMs can look at his contract as being 7 years is because it was front loaded. So they could buy out the remainder of his contract for cheap after 7 years. Of course he is going to get every penny of that contract if he wants it, who wouldn't? So 7 vs 10 years makes a big difference, because then the team can take him off of their salary for the remaining 3 years for much less then what his cap hit is.
Pavel Nikiforovitch said:
Out of the five teams that have made it to the second round, only Philadelphia has won the Cup before, while St. Louis, Nashville, Phoenix and Los Angeles have never done it!
Puckhead said:
All I heard on sports radio yesterday was Florida, Chicago, maybe Toronto...WTF? Even to try and draw a parallel between the media circus he deals with in Van City, and that would be an easy transition to T.O...forgetting the fact that T,O is still a ways off from competing for the Cup.
Florida? Why would Luongo want another up and coming young stud in Markstrom breathing down his neck? Not a fit.
Chicago, could make sense, and he would get the opportunity to stick it to Vancouver, but seriously, the west is a lot tougher, so that is why I say Tampa!
The stars are aligning, and it could be a marriage made in heaven!!! Here's hoping it happens, as I think he got a raw deal in Vancouver, and at his age, he still has a lot of great years left!

Dr. Gary Donovitz and BioTE recognized for development of safe and natural hormone replacement for men and women.
DALLAS, Feb. 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- BioTE Medical has been presented the CISQUA Award by The Consumer Team for pioneering best practices in the field of natural hormone replacement for men and women. Pete Thomson, founder/CEO of The Consumer Team, announced the award today. The CISQUA Award recognizes exemplary corporate performance in areas of integrity, service, quality and accountability.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140206/DA60756)
Dr. Gary Donovitz, founder and medical director of BioTE Medical, commented on the award. He said, "We're honored to receive this recognition. The Consumer Team has a reputation for being very selective regarding the companies that they endorse and we're thrilled to receive the CISQUA Award."
Pete Thomson said the CISQUA Award presented to BioTE Medical reflects the contributions that the company has made in the field of natural testosterone replacement therapy. Thomson added, "Hormone replacement and specifically testosterone therapy are hot topics for consumers right now. We believe that BioTE Medical's all natural approach to hormone replacement is the safest and most effective way for both men and women to balance hormones. Because of the significant issues that accompany the use of synthetic hormones, we believe that consumers need to understand how the natural approach used by BioTE Medical can be beneficial and very different than synthetic therapies."
Thomson said that the marketplace is generally very confused about hormone replacement therapy, largely because of inaccurate media coverage. He added, "The media understands half of the story which is that synthetic hormones, the ones you see advertised heavily on television, have a long list of negative side effects. However, they haven't yet grasped the difference between synthetic and natural hormones."
Dr. Donovitz cited numerous research studies that support the use of natural testosterone replacement. He added, "There are years of research and studies that support natural hormone replacement therapy. In fact, we have multiple studies that show that bio-identical hormone replacement therapy is protective to the prostate, the heart, the brain and the breast. The benefits to the patients, both men and women, allow for healthier lives as people age and they require fewer drugs for disease management."
Beyond the advantages of BioTE's natural approach to hormone therapy, Thomson cited their organization and network of medical practitioners as major assets. He said, "BioTE Medical's commitment to on-going training is very impressive. And, the quality of physicians who are utilizing the BioTE Method in their practice is outstanding."
The growth of BioTE Medical has been steady and impressive. According to BioTE Medical's COO, Dan DeNeui, the company has grown to over 500 certified practitioners in 26 states. DeNeui said, "Our growth has been exciting. People are experiencing better health. Plus, our practitioners, many of whom have been frustrated by the limitations of managed care, are excited to be able to offer the great benefits of BioTE to their patients."

The question is pretty much in the title; I'm about to teach my multivariable calculus students about orientations on surfaces, and I would like to be able to show them pictures. Any ideas?
Let's start with a parametrized surface. Any one will do, but I guess being orientable helps in this case.
Then calculate the unit normal, and then create a
To show the entire vector field for a surface on parametric form you can use a bunch of
As you can see, the arrows are equally spaced in the parameter space, which leads to uneven distribution of arrows on the surface; it might be worth transforming the parametrization into $f(x,y,z)=0$ form to get a nicer result.
It isn't too hard to roll your own routine, of course:
It's not too hard to give the arrows depicting the normals some style:
The easiest thing to do is differentiate the field and use VectorPlot3D and ContourPlot3D to show orthogonality of these. This is from Documentation Center. I will change this a bit from original to polish graphics for your lecture. These are not unit vectors though - do u really need unit ones? It can be done too if you need.
Use a contour plot to visualize the region of a vector plot:
Plot a vector field over a particular region:
Create a contour plot of the vector plot's region:
Combine the vector and contour plots:

Volvo Buses has received an order for 235 city buses to Sydney and Brisbane, Australia. In addition, there could be another 250 buses to Brisbane in the years ahead.
The County Administrative Court in Göteborg, Sweden has ruled in AB Volvo's favor in a tax case pertaining to a deduction claimed in 2003 related to a loss on a receivable due from the British subsidiary BRS. The ruling will result in AB Volvo reporting a positive tax effect of about SEK 180 M plus interest, a total of about SEK 200 M.
Total deliveries from the Volvo Group's truck operations in November amounted to 19,326 vehicles which is a decrease of 21%, compared with the year-earlier period. During the fourth quarter, the Group is forced to continuously take stop days and stop weeks in production to avoid inventory build-up of trucks.
The Volvo Group is initiating cooperation within the Swedish government's logistics forum and with the authorities to realize the EU Commission's concept regarding environmentally sound goods transport in "green corridors." The goal is to reduce the impact on the environment while simultaneously increasing efficiency and safety on highways through specially adapted transport stretches for heavy traffic.
The Swedish National Tax Board has announced a review decision in an internal pricing issue to AB Volvo's American subsidiary Mack. The decision results in an increased taxable income for AB Volvo for the years 2002 and 2003 totaling SEK 828 M, corresponding to tax of SEK 232 M. In addition, the Tax Board levied a tax surcharge of SEK 83 M. As a result of the decision, Volvo has been placed in a double taxation position.
At Tuesday's Investor Day in New York, Volvo's President and CEO Leif Johansson announced that the global recession had forced the Group to adapt all of its operations to today's significantly weaker demand.
Total deliveries of trucks from the Volvo Group's truck operations in October amounted to 22,136 which is a decrease of 12%, compared with the year-earlier period.
Politicians and policy-makers all over the world struggle to stabilize the global financial system. But perhaps regulations and command-and-control won't do much good. Instead, governments should take a closer look at the research on resilience – the capacity of an eco-system to cope with shock and then rebuild and renew itself.
Volvo Buses has received its first order for the company's new hybrid bus, Volvo 7700 Hybrid. Sales-Lentz, a bus operator in Luxembourg, has ordered six hybrid buses with delivery starting in 2009.
After a first and second quarter with record sales and record income, sales growth decelerated much more rapidly than expected during the third quarter, as visible in the reported earnings. The downturn in the economy has been significantly exacerbated by the global financial crisis.

Euro Cuisine YM260 Yogurt Maker 2 Qt.With the Euro Cuisine Yogurt Maker, you can make home-made all natural, rich, and creamy yogurts with any kind of milk within 6 to 8 hours. The real benefits of making homemade yogurt is that you are in total control of the fat content, sweetness and ingredients.
The Euro Cuisine Yogurt Maker is very economical, as you can prepare 1 or 2 quarts of yogurt at a time so you have plenty on hand to last for a week's worth of breakfasts and snacks. The included timer on the side of the unit marks time as to when yogurt will be finished cooking. The base includes numbers from 1-12 on the side of it and the lid includes an arrow to point to the time that the unit should be shut off by the user. This is just a reminder, it is not a true timer. For example, if you start a yogurt cycle at 1 pm, and it should take 8 hours, then you would align the arrow on the lid to the "9" to remind you that you should shut the yogurt maker off. The unit does not include a traditional count down or auto-shutoff timer.
There's no limit to the number of varieties - easily change flavors to make blueberry, boysenberry, cherry, even strawberry cheesecake. Use your imagination to create fresh, all-natural flavors not readily available in stores!
FREE SHIPPING! Learn More$49.95

Is that little scratch from a Canuck tree? would you like to become buddies?
Good pun on words!
The Valet Jetta could not be fixed, as the engine was in question. Sad, but the new 06 is Back in Black! She is real purdy!
My luck with Jetta's has kept depreciation out of the equation for the past 380,000 Kms!
...and they are extremely safe too!
Ouch! That must have cost a few Buck's to fix.
Sorry to see that deer, moose and stupid Valets have it in for your cars.
My wife and I wish you a safe and grand CHRISTmas. Hope these HOLY-days bring you lots of peace and joy!!
Yes, if you enlarge it you will see a perfect silhouette of a Trophy Deer! I didn't receive a scratch. 6 weeks later I totaled another Jetta replacement with a young moose. Now for a two year anniversary, my next Jetta is getting a $8000+ face lift because a Valet Attendant had "fun" in the lot?!
I guess I should do a little update?!
Thanks for joining as my buddy.
Safe Driving!

Sizemore may wait until midseason (at least) to sign

07:57 AM ET 01.08 | A little over a month before pitchers and catchers report, Grady Sizemore is in no rush to sign. Sizemore, 30, underwent microfracture surgery on his right knee in September, and does not want to commit to a team until he is ready to play again, according to his agent, Joe Urbon. "It could be Opening Day. It could be midseason," Urbon said. "Midseason is more likely." Urbon said that a number of teams have expressed interest in Sizemore, and that some have offered to sign him and allow him to rehabilitate at his own pace. Sizemore, however, felt like he tried to rush back last season to fulfill his one-year, $5 million free-agent contract with the Cleveland Indians. As it turned out, he did not play a single game.
My Grandson has a toy similar to Sizemore, it's always broken! I asked him if his toys are on steroids and he told me he's going to tell his mother on me because, I said a bad word!

I think he should rush to sign with somebody. It's only a matter of time before he get injured again, falling down the stairs, closing his hand in the car door, bit by his dog, etc. The guy is a walking injury report.

It he has anything left in the tank it should be a no brainer for Sixemore since the Tribe has been loyal and patience with him.

You can say that again. I had no idea why the Indians offered him $5m last year.
Regardless, he will never be the 30-30 threat he was five years ago. Hell, the ****ing guy hasn't stolen a base in three calendar years.
It's a damn shame. He was my favorite player and durable - before everything started breaking down, he averaged 160 games a season for four years. He had the longest active streak of consecutive games, too.

He got his money for nothin, did he get his chicks for free?
Wonder Why The Indians Refuse To Sign him Again?? oh Yeah he stayed at the DL All The Time,,,
This guys middle initials are D.L.
This clown's days of big time potential have run out. Many of us Tribe fans were screaming to not resign him last year and it turns out we were right. Due to his injuries and now age, his stats have continued to decline. Any club that picks up this chump is ****ing their money down the drain.

someday somehow teams will learn, ones a player becomes a injuried-prone nothing ever change,,,

Running Windows Programs with the Wine API
The Wine compatibility layer lets Linux users run Windows programs. Unfortunately, configuring Wine is anything but trivial, and it helps if you enjoy experimenting.
Linux offers a number of options for users who need to run an occasional Windows program. You can emulate a complete machine using an application such as VMware or Qemu, or you can simulate a machine subset with Win4Lin. These solutions work quite well but also have some drawbacks: for one thing, users need to buy both the emulation environment and the operating system, both of which take up valuable space on the host machine. Emulation also taxes performance and soaks up memory. An average program running in an emulator will achieve just 50 to 80 percent of its normal native performance, even with increased static RAM memory use by the guest operating system. An alternative to emulation is simply to provide Windows libraries for the Linux system. In theory, this approach would allow the program to run in Linux. Unfortunately, this approach is complicated. First, the Windows library functions, or so called API (Application Programming Interface), is not adequately documented.

STEPHENVILLE, Texas — The air is beginning to get cooler and Breast Cancer Awareness Month is right around the corner, so now is a great time to schedule an annual screening mammogram.
From Oct. 11 to Oct. 22, Texas Health Stephenville will offer discounted digital screening mammograms. The screening mammograms will cost $75 during that time period and no insurance claims will be filed. Payment is due at the time of service. The special will enable women without insurance, or with high deductible plans, to schedule their annual mammogram without worrying about the full cost of the test.
Dr. Nanette Evans
The National Cancer Institute, the American Cancer Society, and the American College of Radiology recommend women age 40 and older have annual mammograms. Women with dense breasts or under 50 years old are specifically encouraged to get a digital mammogram, according to breastcancer.org.
"For women who fit the criteria, getting a yearly mammogram should be an appointment they do not miss," said Dr. Nanette Evans, a physician on the medical staff at Texas Health Stephenville. "While mammograms aren't the most fun experience for women, they do help physicians catch breast cancer in the earliest, and most treatable, stages."
"We are pleased to offer a screening mammogram special to women as one way we celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness Month," said Christopher Leu, hospital president.
To schedule an appointment for a mammogram, call 254-552-3120.

Lights, lights, lights … 200,000 of them, as a matter of fact
By Max Hrenda
In fact, it's rare for Christmas to be far from his thoughts at any time of year.
When he takes his summer vacations to the beach, he listens to Bing Crosby's "White Christmas;" he has his own radio station, the Forbes Family Family Christmas Network, which is strictly dedicated to Christmas music, new and old; and for his decorations this year, he is using more than 200,000 lights.
That's right. More than 200,000.
"Sometimes my wife tells me that if I buy any more Christmas lights," Forbes said, with a smile, "she's going to send me down to Tetrick [Funeral Home] for a measurement."
Forget Clark Griswold, the character Chevy Chase made famous in "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation." The Griswold house only boasted 25,000 lights. Elizabethton residents can see ten times that amount tonight on Summit Avenue.
This evening at 7, Forbes and his wife, Mary, will host "The House on Christmas Street," a Christmas light and music tour, on the corner of Holston and Summit avenues.

Guys: Your hair, or lack of it, can reveal hidden heart attack risks, according to startling new research presented at the American Heart Association's scientific sessions.
In fact, baldness or a receding hairline can signal greater heart attack danger than having high cholesterol or high blood pressure, the researchers reported. The study found that people (particularly men) with three of the following visible signs of aging were at 57 percent higher risk for a heart attack and 39 percent higher risk for heart disease, compared to people the same age without these warning signs:
Danish researchers analyzed health data from nearly 11,000 men and women ages 40 and older. During 35 years of follow-up, 3,041 participants developed heart disease and 1,708 suffered a heart attack. Both individually and combined, the four signs predicted heart attack and heart disease danger independently from other risk factors, such as smoking, obesity, or high cholesterol.
Related: 7 Warning Signs of Heart Attacks
Of the four signs, fatty deposits around the eyes were the strongest predictor and the danger rose with each additional characteristic. Earlier studies have also found a link between a diagonal earlobe crease and plaque buildup in the arteries.
"The visible signs of aging reflect physiologic or biological age, not chronological age, and are independent of chronological age," said Anne Tybjaerg-Hansen, M.D., the study's senior author and professor of clinical biochemistry at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark, in a news release.
To find out more about surprising heart disease red flags, I talked to Amy Doneen, ARNP, medical director of the Heart Attack & Stroke Prevention Center in Spokane, Washington. In a recent presentation to healthcare providers, she highlighted these little known cardiovascular risk factors for men:
People with periodontal (gum) disease are nearly twice as likely to have heart disease than those with healthy gums. That's because the same bacteria that cause gum disease can also spark inflammation inside the body, damaging blood vessels. The American Heart Association has identified gum disease as an independent risk factor for heart disease in a 2012 scientific statement. One in three adults over 30 have gum disease and millions of them don't know it. Ask your dentist to evaluate your oral health, advises Doneen.
Related: Top 10 Health Risks for Men
Frequent loud snoring can trumpet obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a dangerous disorder that lifts heart attack and stroke risk if untreated, cautions Doneen. OSA (bouts of interrupted breathing during sleep) often goes undiagnosed because people aren't aware of the symptoms, which include waking at night for no apparent reason and unexplained daytime drowsiness. If you fit this profile, ask your healthcare provider to order a sleep study.
It's a bit of a mystery, but bachelors are much more likely to have a heart attack—and much more likely to die as a result—than married men. A study from Finland that mined data on more than 15,000 people who had heart attacks between 1993 and 2002 found that bachelors were 58 percent to 66 percent more likely to have a heart attack—and were 60 percent to 168 percent more likely to die as a result—than married men. The researchers couldn't say why single guys (and gals) fared so poorly, but suggested that married couples may lead healthier lives, be better off financially than singles, and have more health-promoting social support. Wedding bells, anyone?
Passive exposure to tobacco fumes is more dangerous to the heart than high cholesterol, diabetes, or high blood pressure, a new study found. Non-smokers with the greatest exposure to secondhand smoke were 90 percent more likely to have heart disease than the general population. The study is the first to show a clear link between the amount of passive smoke exposure and early signs of heart disease, demonstrating that being around smokers is more hazardous than was previously believed.
In a study that tracked 20,084 men for nearly 16 years, researchers found that male migraine sufferers had a 42 percent higher risk for heart attack. A new study also linked migraines with aura (visual symptoms, such as seeing flashing lights before the headache kicks in) to increased risk for heart attacks, strokes, and blood clots in women. In the new study, which included nearly 28,000 women, only high blood pressure was a more powerful predictor of cardiovascular danger. However, it's not yet known if treating migraines reduces heart disease risk, Doneen reports.
Guys, do you know that sexual problems can mean you that you have a broken heart—literally? Several studies show that ED can be a stronger predictor of heart attack risk than your family history, smoking, or high cholesterol. In fact, says Doneen, some healthcare providers now consider ED, which affects about 30 million American men, to be a "leading indicator" of heart disease in men. Guys in their 40s with ED have nearly 50 times greater risk for developing clogged arteries that can lead to a heart attack than do men the same age without ED, according to a Mayo Clinic study.

Aspirin Associated with Reduced Cardiovascular and All-Cause Mortality in Type 2 DiabetesPosted: Sunday, February 07, 2010
Regular low-dose aspirin may reduce all-cause and CVD mortality in a primary prevention setting in Type 2 diabetes.
This objective of this study was to determine whether regular aspirin use (ˇÝ75 mg/day) is independently associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality in community-based patients with Type 2 diabetes and no history of CVD.
Of the Type 2 diabetic patients recruited to the longitudinal observational Fremantle Diabetes Study, 651 (50.3%) with no prior CVD history at entry between 1993 and 1996 were followed until death or the end of June 2007, representing a total of 7,537 patient-years (mean ˇŔ SD 11.6 ˇŔ 2.9 years). Cox proportional hazards modeling was used to determine independent baseline predictors of CVD and all-cause mortality including regular aspirin use.
There were 160 deaths (24.6%) during follow-up, with 70 (43.8%) due to CVD. In Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, there was no difference in either CVD or all-cause mortality in aspirin users versus nonusers (P = 0.52 and 0.94, respectively, by log-rank test). After adjustment for significant variables in the most parsimonious Cox models, regular aspirin use at baseline independently predicted reduced CVD and all-cause mortality (hazard ratio [HR] 0.30 [95% CI 0.09¨C0.95] and 0.53 [0.28¨C0.98[, respectively; P ˇÜ 0.044). In subgroup analyses, aspirin use was independently associated with reduced all-cause mortality in those aged ˇÝ65 years and men.
From the results it was concluded that regular low-dose aspirin may reduce all-cause and CVD mortality in a primary prevention setting in Type 2 diabetes. All-cause mortality reductions are greatest in men and in those aged ˇÝ65 years. The present observational data support recommendations that aspirin should be used in primary CVD prevention in all but the lowest risk patients.

"The Million Dollar Mustang" is not about how much these great cars go for at ...
2011 Kia Sorento EX, an AW Drivers Log
EDITOR WES RAYNAL: As impressed as I was with the Optima, I am a little underwhelmed by this 2011 Kia Sorento. However, it's nice to see that this front-wheel-drive, four-cylinder model is about $6,000 less than the last one I drove.
I still think the Sorentos are good-looking, but I find them a bit too crude, with a too-rough a ride and unrefined handling.
These are not a bad-looking utes. In fact, the exterior styling is arguably its best feature. And the steering is decent, quick with good on-center feel. This is not a pothole-friendly car, however. Tire noise is a bit high, too. I have no beefs with the four-cylinder. I don't think the six-cylinder is even necessary in this case.
ASSOCIATE EDITOR JONATHAN WONG: We've had a lot Sorento variants funnel through the office in the past few months and for the most part, I've been fairly pleased with them from a dynamics standpoint. The more performance-oriented SX version with its tight drive character and flashier exterior fixings was interesting, but I had a huge problem with the interior quality. That previous SX that I drove stickered at $35,890 and the hard plastics making up the majority of the interior were just unacceptable at that price.
With this EX model, the interior remains disappointing at $29,340, too. I realize that this car is optioned up pretty well with navigation, a rearview camera, leather seats with front seat heaters and more, but it's still clear that Kia skimped in this area and that's just a downer. Why? Well, because the rest of the Sorento is pretty darn good.
It looks fairly nice with the company grille and simple lines. The interior from an ergonomics point of view is good with large controls that are easy to operate on the fly. Steering is tight with OK response, and the brakes offer good grab with a solid pedal feel. Like Wes, I was impressed with how well this four-cylinder moved this 3,600-pound tub around. Transmission shifts were also decently speedy and smooth. Ride quality is on the rough side, however.
During my weekend, we did get hit with a good amount of snow (again) and I did struggle with this FWD Sorento as I trudged through the roughly nine inches of accumulation received in my area. I will say that the traction control cuts power way too early and some more allowable slip would have probably prevented me from getting stuck the three times that I did. You can kill traction fully, but then the tires' lack of grip in the snow hurt me there. These Kumho Solus KL21s are horrendous in light snow, deep snow and ice. Anyway, I ended up having to take the ice scraper and clear out the snow from behind the front wheels to get unstuck, which wasn't cool.
Much like my conclusion after previous drives of other Sorentos, this car is interior and ride-quality upgrades away from being ready for prime time. Oh, and if you live in an area which gets snow, a tire upgrade.
COPY EDITOR CYNTHIA L. OROSCO-WRIGHT: I drove this Sorento after having the Optima for a night, and the Optima is quite a bit more refined than the Sorento. Broken pavement sure upset this ute, and there's a lot of vibration inside the vehicle on good roads, too.
On the positive side, braking is good, the sheetmetal and the interior are OK and the HVAC/audio/nav controls are easy to use. The back seat appeared to have decent legroom, and there's good cargo space out back. But overall, as smaller utes go, the Sorento leaves something to be desired.
ASSISTANT ART DIRECTOR CHERYL L. BLAHNIK: First of all, the sand-beige paint on this tester isn't working for me. It looks terrible, which is a shame because this is a good-looking ute. It sports an angular look, which should attract a younger audience.
What's also nice is the roomy interior packed full of technology features such as navigation, Bluetooth, an iPod jack and heated leather seats. With all those features, the as-tested price seems reasonable.
As Wes and Jon said, this smaller four-cylinder engine is up to task, and you can't forget about Kia's stellar warranty. What could use some improvement is the suspension because as is, the ride is rough going over bumps and potholes.
ASSISTANT ART DIRECTOR/DESIGNER TARA KLEIN: I had this 2011 Kia Sorento for a busy weekend, and for the most part I was happy. My opinion stands from the last Sorento we had: I particularly like the exterior elements that show off the character of this crossover SUV, such as the angled contours of the grille and fog lamps. While these features are subtle, they give the Sorento a bit of edge and style on an otherwise simple body.
However, after my ride in the Optima, I'm left wanting some of its personality translated to the Sorento-- especially inside. While the functionality level is high, with clearly labeled and well-placed controls, the materials used and the overall styling weigh it down when it comes to looks. Considering the amount of goodies this vehicle has, I'd expect a look that's higher-end to frame the functionality.
The ride height in the Sorento is comfortable but the ride itself, not so much. Every bump and blemish on the road was felt with exaggeration. But beyond that, the maneuvering ability is good, especially as I was squeezing through tight parking lots, and the Sorento stayed surefooted on the wet roads.
Overall, I think the Sorento is a solid option for people looking for a smaller SUV. Even though the interior needs to be stepped up a notch, the whole package is an attractive one considering storage capabilities, exterior styling and simple enjoyment.

Monterey County supervisors vote to reconsider strawberry fumigant
Oli Scarff/Getty Images
Pesticide methyl iodide has been generating controversy for years. By the time the State of California approved its use on local crops, California Senator Diane Feinstein had already called the fumigant into question over findings that it causes cancer.
Last week, the Monterey County Board of Supervisors voted 4-1 in favor of a resolution that asks California governor Jerry Brown to take another look at the just how safe it is to use the much-debated chemical, according to the Californian.
It's a hotly contested debate in Monterey County, as methyl iodide is used to fumigate strawberry crops, which is a $751 million industry in the county. It had been approved by the EPA as a replacement for pesticide methyl bromide in 2007, with California's Department of Pesticides getting onboard in 2010, despite methyl iodide being on the state's list of cancer-causing agents.

For years the only apple device I've owned is an iPod Touch 2G. A while back I acquired a free, hand-me-down iPhone 3G but have not used it as my main phone for several reasons.
Today, while stamping out stuck pixels on my iPod, the bright idea came to my mind: Why exactly can the iPhone not be used on T-Mobile USA's 3G network? (Called TMO3G henceforth to simplify)
I spent the next 6 hours doing research with no concrete answers. Eventually, gathering the useful information that I had found I decided to discuss my theory and the possibility of a practical application for getting access to the TMO3G service on an iPhone 3G (or others by extension)
The iPhone 3G gets its UMTS capabilities from a chip in its Logic board. Due to my limited knowledge on the matter I am not sure if it is from the murata or Infineon chip.
However, I have gathered that it is most likely that either the chip is not capable of connecting to the band IV and I, as needed for TMO3G or Apple has restricted its capabilities and left out the IV band. If it is the latter, would it not be able to simply be "switched on" by a mod of the firmware?
Surely, with today's higher understanding of the iPhone/iOS internals by the dev teams out there, a software hack would have surfaced if this was the case. This leads me to believe that the chip is not capable of band IV. A complication, but it seems to me that the fix would be to adquire a band IV-compatible chip from the original supplier (or a very compatible alternative) and replace the iPhone chip with the replacement along with possible firmware tweaks to handle the new frequency... OR a cover-up to trick the phone into thinking the new frequency is in fact the old one it used for 3G connectivity.
What are your opinions on this approach? If anyone was confident in giving this a try and succeeding, I and many other people I know would be willing to fund the project.
