You are having dinner in a restaurant you are an important regular at, with your friend setting you up with two very attractive women. Within seconds, a car comes hurtling through the window, decapitating one girl, crushing the other and effectively shearing your leg off.
Dragged out of the restaurant with your what is left of your leg, you mown down most of the people after you, whilst ending up almost burnt alive. At deaths door you awaken a slumbering power, two tentacles pop out your back and you selectively disembowel and eviscerate the men who came to kill you. Welcome to the first 5 minutes of The Darkness 2.
This mad world you dive into headfirst is neatly explained by the narrator of the game, Johnny Powell, as he takes you through the previous action packed precursor. You are Jackie Estacado, a new mob boss in town after gaining access to the gift called 'The Darkness'; a dark, warped manifestation of all that is bad as it feeds on the hearts of the hosts (that's you) many enemies and, eventually the host itself. The game is set a few years after the first, where Jackie attempts to deal with the fact that the only love in his life was murdered by his uncle; the Darkness paralysed Jackie and made him watch. Jackie, aware of the huge amount of power he has at his finger tips which , in all likelihood, would make him lose his humanity, keeps it inside of him until the events stated above leave him no other option. The first Darkness isn't imperative to play to get any real grasp on the story but I would still highly recommend it in itself as it is perhaps one of the most underrated FPS to come out on this generation of consoles.
The story itself is derived largely from the comics, with key characters popping up along the course of the game. This makes it even more compelling due to the very strong foundations the whole story is based on and also highlights The Darkness 2's biggest problem. You will almost certainly play through Jackie Estacado's trials and tribulations in 6 hours or less on a medium difficulty, with a multiplayer coop mode that essentially feels tacked on and seems poor compared to the main product.
The short ride you will have with the game however, is more than worth it as the whole experience gives a real sense of empowerment but without making you feel like Superman (remember Superman 64?!). Light and dark are key elements of the game with all of your powers ,other than the standard 'firing a gun'. made redundant as soon as you step into a large light source, a factor that isn't lost on the enemy. Taking rooms one by one by choosing whether to take power sources and lights out and let the Darkness powers let rip or pick enemies off one by one is refreshing rather than tedious. I would never class it as a cerebral shooter but its nice to have the option to choose how I maim and kill.
Speaking of which, maiming and killing is the name of the game here. Jackie is able to combine two weapons alongside two tentacles that appear over his shoulders, emanating from the Darkness itself ,to aide his fight against the many gangsters and cultists you meet along the way. All can be used in conjunction with each other so tackling situations is completely up to you; you are more than welcome to go all guns blazing but you have the option to use car doors as shields, use iron poles as javelins and slice your attackers, literally in half. Gunplay is effective and most importantly enjoyable, with every weapon feeling powerful and actually useful. Despite all that is going on onscreen I never felt like I wasn't in control when I was shooting which, considering the mayhem you create in each level, is incredibly impressive.
An RPG element is also utilised depending on the type of kills you decide to dish out with a skill tree for darkness powers, guns and life; not groundbreaking by any means but it does lead you to enact gorier and more bloody deaths to your enemy.
One thing this game never lacks is its blood and gore, in all its cell shaded glory with various kills given more xp depending on the technique and what you used. The game itself is an 18 for a reason; the cell shading used gives the developer the ability to use it as liberally as strawberry jam. There also seems to be a fascination with bones crunching; one unfortunate soul gets his ribcage ripped out in front of him, his heart pulled out and the 'lucky' guy gets to watch it beat while he dies.
The art direction is a big departure from the first game, swapping realism for a comic esque style. The palette change and abundance of primary colours fits in nicely with its comic book roots and makes the cut scenes, each mission is framed by Jackie speaking about his life, much more animated than they were previously.
Multiplayer is supposed to run along concurrently with the main story with four characters, each hugely stereotypical (a drunk Irishman, a Japanese samurai etc), attempting to help Jackie. The cut scenes and banter between these characters and Johnny Powell, the narrator, is mildly amusing but the whole scenario is bland. The coop side feels tacked on and a bad attempt at lengthening a very short single player campaign. Wait in area, kill waves, rinse repeat. There is an ability to do all of this on your own but, unless you enjoy achievements, you will get bored extremely quickly.
This leaves a review in a difficult position.. The combination of entertaining game play and an engaging story more than makes up for the turgid multiplayer but the length of the game really lets it done. The best advice would be to pick both this and the prequel up and play them one after each the other; a simple solution to the short gameplay time problem that you are unlikely to regret!

Clean water is one of the Chesapeake Bay region's most important resources. The Bay watershed's many freshwater rivers and streams provide drinking water for people and habitats for animals and plants.
But many of those same waterways suffer from reduced water quality from a variety of causes — like excess nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus. Erosion. Harmful algal blooms. Heavy metals and other toxins from human activities.
What Extension Can Do For You
Maryland Sea Grant Extension's specialists work with local governments, community groups, and citizens to help improve water quality on the local level and in the Bay. Click on the links below to learn more about our projects regarding watershed restoration and stormwater management ponds.
Watershed Restoration: Managing Stormwater, Restoring Natural Habitats

Iodine is a trace element that is naturally present in some foods, added to others, and available as a dietary supplement. Iodine is an essential component of the thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). Thyroid hormones regulate many important biochemical reactions, including protein synthesis and enzymatic activity, and are critical determinants of metabolic activity [1,2]. They are also required for proper skeletal and central nervous system development in fetuses and infants [1].
Thyroid function is primarily regulated by thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), also known as thyrotropin. It is secreted by the pituitary gland to control thyroid hormone production and secretion, thereby protecting the body from hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism [1]. TSH secretion increases thyroidal uptake of iodine and stimulates the synthesis and release of T3 and T4. In the absence of sufficient iodine, TSH levels remain elevated, leading to goiter, an enlargement of the thyroid gland that reflects the body's attempt to trap more iodine from the circulation and produce thyroid hormones.
Iodine may have other physiological functions in the body as well. For example, it appears to play a role in immune response and might have a beneficial effect on mammary dysplasia and fibrocystic breast disease [2].
The earth's soils contain varying amounts of iodine, which in turn affects the iodine content of crops. In some regions of the world, iodine-deficient soils are common, increasing the risk of iodine deficiency among people who consume foods primarily from those areas. Salt iodization programs, which many countries have implemented, have dramatically reduced the prevalence of iodine deficiency worldwide [2,3].
Iodine in food and iodized salt is present in several chemical forms including sodium and potassium salts, inorganic iodine (I2), iodate, and iodide, the reduced form of iodine [4]. Iodine rarely occurs as the element, but rather as a salt; for this reason, it is referred to as iodide and not iodine. Iodide is quickly and almost completely absorbed in the stomach and duodenum. Iodate is reduced in the gastrointestinal tract and absorbed as iodide [2,5]. When iodide enters the circulation, the thyroid gland concentrates it in appropriate amounts for thyroid hormone synthesis and most of the remaining amount is excreted in the urine [2]. The iodine-replete healthy adult has about 15–20 mg of iodine, 70%–80% of which is contained in the thyroid [6].
Median urinary iodine concentrations of 100–199 mcg/L in children and adults, 150–249 mcg/L in pregnant women and >100 mcg/L in lactating women indicate iodine intakes are adequate [3]. Values lower than 100 mcg/L in children and non-pregnant adults indicate insufficient iodine intake, although iodine deficiency is not classified as severe until urinary iodine levels are lower than 20 mcg/L.
Intake recommendations for iodine and other nutrients are provided in the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) developed by the Food and Nutrition Board (FNB) at the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies (formerly National Academy of Sciences) [2]. DRI is the general term for a set of reference values used for planning and assessing nutrient intakes of healthy people. These values, which vary by age and gender [2], include:
Table 1 lists the current RDAs for iodine [2]. For infants from birth to 12 months, the FNB established an AI for iodine that is equivalent to the mean intake of iodine in healthy, breastfed infants in the United States.
* Adequate Intake (AI)
The World Health Organization (WHO), United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), and the International Council for the Control of Iodine Deficiency Disorders (ICCIDD) recommend a slightly higher iodine intake for pregnant women of 250 mcg per day [3,7].
Seaweed (such as kelp, nori, kombu, and wakame) is one of the best food sources of iodine, but it is highly variable in its content (Table 2) [5]. Other good sources include seafood, dairy products (partly due to the use of iodine feed supplements and iodophor sanitizing agents in the dairy industry [8]), grain products, and eggs. Dairy products, especially milk, and grain products are the major contributors of iodine to the American diet [9]. Iodine is also present in human breast milk [2,5] and infant formulas.
Fruits and vegetables contain iodine, but the amount varies depending on the iodine content of the soil, fertilizer use and irrigation practices [2]. Iodine concentrations in plant foods can range from as little as 10 mcg/kg to 1 mg/kg dry weight [5]. This variability in turn affects the iodine content of meat and animal products because it affects the iodine content of foods that the animals consume [10]. The iodine content of different seaweed species also varies greatly [11]. For these reasons, the values in Table 2 are approximate.
*DV = Daily Value. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) developed DVs to help consumers compare the nutrient contents of foods and dietary supplements within the context of a total diet. The DV for iodine is 150 mcg for adults and children aged 4 years and older [13]. FDA does not require food labels to list iodine content unless iodine has been added to the food. Foods providing 20% or more of the DV are considered to be high sources of a nutrient, but foods providing lower percentages of the DV also contribute to a healthful diet.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA's) FoodData Central [14] does not list the iodine content of foods or provide lists of foods containing iodine.
More than 70 countries, including the United States and Canada, have salt iodization programs. As a result, approximately 70% of households worldwide use iodized salt, ranging from almost 90% of households in North and South America to less than 50% in Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean regions [3].
In the United States, salt manufacturers have been adding iodine to table salt since the 1920s, although it is still a voluntary program [12]. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved potassium iodide and cuprous iodide for salt iodization [15] while the WHO recommends the use of potassium iodate due to its greater stability, particularly in tropical climates [3]. According to its label, iodized salt in the United States contains 45 mcg iodine/g salt (between 1/8 and 1/4 teaspoon); measured salt samples have an average level of 47.5 mcg iodine/g salt [12]. However, the majority of salt intake in the United States comes from processed foods, and food manufacturers almost always use non-iodized salt in processed foods. If they do use iodized salt, they must list the salt as iodized in the ingredient list on the food label [8].
Many multivitamin/mineral supplements contain iodine in the forms of potassium iodide or sodium iodide. Dietary supplements of iodine or iodine-containing kelp (a seaweed) are also available. A small study found that potassium iodide is almost completely (96.4%) absorbed in humans [16].
The Total Diet Study (TDS), an FDA monitoring program, provides estimated iodine intakes of the U.S. population [9]. Through the TDS program, foods that represent the average U.S. diet are purchased and analyzed for several components, including iodine. Based on analytical results from TDS food samples collected between 2003 and 2004, combined with food consumption estimates, average iodine intakes in the United States range from 138 to 353 mcg/day across all age and gender groups [9]. These intakes meet or exceed the EAR for all groups.
TDS data do not include iodine that people obtain from the discretionary use of iodized salt [17,18]. Because many U.S. households use iodized salt, TDS data likely underestimate the true iodine intake of most U.S. residents. Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) collected between 1999 and 2004 indicate that 28–29% of adults use iodine-containing dietary supplements [19]; this use also adds to the population's total iodine intake.
Iodine status is typically assessed using urinary iodine measurements. Urinary iodine reflects dietary iodine intake directly because people excrete more than 90% of dietary iodine in the urine [4]. Spot urine iodine measurements are a useful indicator of iodine status within populations [20,21]. However, 24-hour urinary iodine or multiple spot urine measurements are more accurate for individuals [4]. For a population of school-aged children or non-pregnant adults to be iodine sufficient, median urinary iodine concentrations should be greater than 100 mcg/L and no more than 20% of the population should have values lower than 50 mcg/L [3].
Urinary iodine measurements from NHANES have been used since 1971 to monitor the iodine status of the U.S. population [22]. Since the inception of the NHANES monitoring program, urinary iodine measurements have shown that the general U.S. population is iodine sufficient. This is despite the fact that urinary iodine levels decreased by more than 50% between 1971–1974 and 1988–1994 [2,23]. Much of this decline was a result of decreased levels of iodine in milk due to the reduced use of iodine-containing feed supplements and iodophor sanitizing agents in the dairy industry [24], as well as the reduced use of iodate dough conditioners by commercial bakers. The use of erythrosine, an iodine-containing food dye commonly used in fruit-flavored breakfast cereals, also decreased during this time [24], though it is unclear to what extent this change actually affected urinary iodine levels because the bioavailability of iodine from erythrosine has been found to be low [25]. This sharp decline in urinary iodine levels caused some concern during the late 1990s that the iodine sufficiency of the U.S. population could be at risk if this trend continued [23].
More recent NHANES measurements indicate that urinary iodine levels have stabilized in the general U.S. population. During 2007–2008, NHANES participants aged 6 years and older had a median urinary iodine concentration of 164 mcg/L, and 8.8 ± 0.4% had concentrations lower than 50 mcg/L [26]. Among women of reproductive age, the median urinary iodine concentration in NHANES 2005–2008 was 133 mcg/L, and 14.6 ± 1.7% had concentrations lower than 50 mcg/L. These values have essentially remained unchanged in the last three NHANES surveys, indicating that the dietary iodine intake of the general U.S. population has remained stable since 2000 [26].
According to the WHO, a median urinary iodine concentration of 150–249 mcg/L indicates adequate iodine nutrition during pregnancy, while values less than 150 mcg/L are considered insufficient [3,7]. Analyses of NHANES datasets covering time periods from 2001 to 2008 indicate that a substantial portion of pregnant women in the United States are iodine insufficient. Median urinary iodine concentrations for pregnant women participating in NHANES surveys were 181 mcg/L in 2003–2004 [22] and 153 mcg/L in 2001–2006 [27], and only 125 mcg/L in 2005–2008 [26]. Further, 56.9% of pregnant women surveyed during 2005–2008 had a median urinary iodine concentration <150 mcg/L [26]. In a study published in 2004, the median urinary iodine concentration of 100 healthy pregnant women in Boston was 149 mcg/L and 49% of the women had values below the WHO cutoff for sufficiency [28]. The NHANES analyses and the Boston study each had relatively small sample sizes but they do raise concerns about the adequacy of iodine status of pregnant women in the United States. Suboptimal iodine status during pregnancy has also been observed in Australia [29].
Pregnant women who do not consume dairy products may be particularly at risk of iodine insufficiency. According to NHANES 2001–2006 data, pregnant women who consumed no dairy products in the previous 24 hours had a median urinary iodine concentration of only 100 mcg/L, compared with 163 mcg/L among consumers of dairy [27]. Women who restrict their dietary salt intake also have lower urinary iodine concentrations and might be more likely to be iodine deficient than women who don't restrict salt intake [30].
Overall, it appears that the general U.S. population has adequate iodine intake but that some pregnant women may be at risk for iodine deficiency. Continued national iodine monitoring is needed with more emphasis on population subgroups that are most susceptible to iodine deficiency disorders.
Iodine deficiency has multiple adverse effects on growth and development, and is the most common cause of preventable mental retardation in the world [31]. Iodine deficiency disorders result from inadequate thyroid hormone production secondary to insufficient iodine [5]. During pregnancy and early infancy, iodine deficiency can cause irreversible effects.
Under normal conditions, the body tightly controls thyroid hormone concentrations via TSH. Typically, TSH secretion increases when iodine intake falls below about 100 mcg/day [5]. TSH increases thyroidal iodine uptake from the blood and the production of thyroid hormone. However, very low iodine intakes can reduce thyroid hormone production even in the presence of elevated TSH levels.
If a person's iodine intake falls below approximately 10–20 mcg/day, hypothyroidism occurs [1], a condition that is frequently accompanied by goiter. Goiter is usually the earliest clinical sign of iodine deficiency [2]. In pregnant women, iodine deficiency of this magnitude can cause major neurodevelopmental deficits and growth retardation in the fetus, as well as miscarriage and stillbirth [5]. Chronic, severe iodine deficiency in utero causes cretinism, a condition characterized by mental retardation, deaf mutism, motor spasticity, stunted growth, delayed sexual maturation, and other physical and neurological abnormalities [5].
In infants and children, less severe iodine deficiency can also cause neurodevelopmental deficits such as somewhat lower-than-average intelligence as measured by IQ [1,32]. Mild to moderate maternal iodine deficiency has also been associated with an increased risk for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in children [33]. In adults, mild-to-moderate iodine deficiency can cause goiter as well as impaired mental function and work productivity secondary to hypothyroidism. Chronic iodine deficiency may be associated with an increased risk of the follicular form of thyroid cancer [34].
Historically, iodine deficiency was endemic in mountainous regions of the United States and Mexico, and in the so called "goiter belt" around the Great Lakes [35]. Thanks to a more national food supply, iodized salt and other factors, iodine deficiency is now uncommon in North America. Worldwide however, iodine deficiency remains a public health problem in 47 countries [6], and about 2.2 billion people (38% of the world's population) live in areas with iodine deficiency [31]. International efforts since the early 1990s have dramatically reduced the incidence of iodine deficiency, but some groups of people are still at risk of inadequate iodine intake.
Iodine-deficient soils produce crops that have low iodine levels. Mountainous areas, such as the Himalayas, Alps, and Andes regions, and river valleys prone to flooding, especially in South and Southeast Asia, are among the most iodine-deficient regions in the world [5]. Populations in these areas are at risk of iodine deficiency unless they have access to iodized salt or foods produced outside the iodine-deficient area.
Consumption of foods that contain goitrogens, substances that interfere with the uptake of iodine in the thyroid, can exacerbate iodine deficiency [2]. Foods high in goitrogens include soy and cassava, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, and other cruciferous vegetables. Deficiencies of iron and/or vitamin A may also be goitrogenic [36]. These issues are of concern primarily for people living in areas prone to iodine deficiency [6]. For most people, including most of the U.S. population, who have adequate iodine intakes and eat a variety of foods, the consumption of foods containing goitrogens in reasonable amounts is not a concern.
The use of iodized salt is the most widely used strategy to control iodine deficiency. Currently, about 70% of households worldwide use iodized salt, but iodine insufficiency is still prevalent in certain regions. In the European region included in WHO reports, 52% of the population has insufficient iodine intake and, according to UNICEF, only about 49% of households in Europe (outside of the Western European subregion) have access to iodized salt. Iodine insufficiency is also prevalent in Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Eastern Mediterranean WHO regions where rates of iodized salt use range from approximately 47% to 67% [3,37]. Worldwide, it is estimated that about 31% of school-age children do not have access to iodized salt [38].
During pregnancy, the RDA for iodine increases from 150 to 220 mcg/day [2]. Surveys indicate that many pregnant women in the United States, while not showing signs of overt iodine deficiency, may obtain insufficient amounts of iodine [26]. The impact of this, if any, on fetal development is not known at this time.
Due to its important role in fetal and infant development and thyroid hormone production, iodine is a critical nutrient for proper health at all life stages. This section focuses on four areas of biomedical research examining iodine's role in health and disease: fetal and infant development, cognitive function during childhood, fibrocystic breast disease, and radiation-induced thyroid cancer.
Iodine sufficiency during pregnancy is extremely important for proper fetal development. During early pregnancy, when fetal thyroid gland development is incomplete, the fetus depends entirely on maternal T4 and therefore, on maternal iodine intake [39]. Production of T4 increases by approximately 50% during pregnancy [40], requiring a concomitant increase in maternal iodine intake. Sufficient iodine intake after birth is also important for proper physical and neurological growth and maturation.
Research suggests that infants are more sensitive to the effects of iodine deficiency than other age groups, as indicated by changes in their TSH and T4 levels in response to even mild iodine deficiency [41]. To accommodate increased iodine needs during pregnancy and lactation, the iodine RDA is 220 mcg/day for pregnant women and 290 mcg/day for lactating women [2]. Similarly, the WHO recommends 250 mcg/day during pregnancy and lactation [3].
Although severe iodine deficiency disorders are uncommon in the United States, mild-to-moderate iodine insufficiency during pregnancy may subtly affect fetal development [4,28,42]. In a 2009 study, researchers measured the neuropsychological status of Spanish infants whose mothers received daily supplements of 300 mcg iodine (as potassium iodide) during pregnancy and lactation [43]. The mothers were moderately, but not severely, iodine deficient. Iodine supplementation resulted in significant improvements in some but not all aspects of neurodevelopment (as measured by Bayley Psychomotor Development scores) at 3–18 months of age compared with infants whose mothers did not receive iodine supplements.
Breast milk contains iodine, although concentrations vary based on maternal iodine levels. Infants who are exclusively breastfed depend on maternal iodine sufficiency for optimal development. In a study of 57 healthy lactating women from the Boston area, median breast milk iodine content was 155 mcg/L [44]. Based on reported infant iodine needs and the typical volume of breast milk consumed, the authors calculated that 47% of the women may have been providing their infants breast milk containing insufficient amounts of iodine. During the weaning period, infants not receiving iodine-containing complementary foods may also be at risk of iodine deficiency, even in countries with iodized salt programs [45].
To ensure that adequate amounts of iodine are available for proper fetal and infant development, several national and international groups recommend iodine supplementation during pregnancy, lactation, and early childhood. For women living in countries with weak, sporadic, or uneven iodized salt distribution, the WHO recommends iodine supplementation for all women of childbearing age to achieve a total iodine intake of 150 mcg/day. For pregnant and lactating women in these countries, iodine intakes of 250 mcg/day from both supplements and dietary sources are recommended [3,7]. WHO recommendations for these countries also include breastfeeding through 24 months of age, combined with complementary foods fortified with iodine for children between the ages of 7–24 months [7]. In the United States and Canada, the American Thyroid Association recommends iodine supplementation (150 mcg/day) as part of a prenatal vitamin/mineral supplement for pregnant and lactating women [46]. A National Research Council committee also recommends adding iodide to prenatal vitamins [1]. Currently, it is estimated that only 51% of the types of prenatal multivitamins marketed in the United States contain iodine [47] and according to 2001–2006 NHANES data, 15% of lactating women and 20% of non-pregnant and pregnant women in the United States take a supplement containing iodine [48].
Results from a 2010 study however, raise some questions as to the safety of widespread iodine supplementation in areas of relative iodine sufficiency. In this cross-sectional study, pregnant women living in Spain had a significantly increased risk of hyperthyrotropinemia (TSH >3 microU/mL) if they consumed iodine supplements in doses ≥200 mcg/day compared with those who consumed doses <100 mcg/day [49]. These findings suggest that taking higher doses of supplemental iodine during pregnancy could induce thyroid dysfunction in some women and underscore the need for additional research into the effects on maternal thyroid function of iodine supplementation during pregnancy.
Taken as a whole, these findings indicate that increased public awareness of iodine's importance during pregnancy and lactation is warranted and that further research into the effects of iodine supplementation during pregnancy is needed. Many researchers, as well as the American Thyroid Association, stress the importance of continued iodine status monitoring among women of reproductive age [1,4,22,27,42,46,50].
The effects of severe iodine deficiency on neurological development are well documented. Results from several studies suggest, for example, that chronic, moderate-to-severe iodine deficiency, particularly in children, reduces IQ by about 12–13.5 points [40]. A 2004 Cochrane review concluded that iodine supplementation in children living in areas of iodine deficiency appears to both positively affect physical and mental development and decrease mortality with only minor and transient adverse effects [51].
The effects of mild iodine deficiency during childhood are more difficult to quantify. Some research suggests that mild iodine deficiency is associated with subtle neurodevelopmental deficits and that iodine supplementation might improve cognitive function in mildly iodine-deficient children [39].
In a 2009 randomized, placebo-controlled study, 184 children aged 10–13 years in New Zealand with a median urinary iodine concentration of 63 mcg/L received iodine supplements (150 mcg/day) or placebo for 28 weeks [52]. Iodine supplementation improved iodine status (median urinary iodine concentration after supplementation was 145 mcg/L) and significantly improved measures of perceptual reasoning and overall cognitive score compared with children taking a placebo. These findings suggest that correcting mild iodine deficiency in children could improve certain components of cognition. Additional research is required to fully understand the effects of mild iodine deficiency and iodine supplementation on cognitive function.
Fibrocystic breast disease is a benign condition characterized by lumpy, painful breasts and palpable fibrosis. It commonly affects women of reproductive age, but it can also occur during menopause, especially in women taking estrogens [53]. Breast tissue has a high concentration of iodine, especially during pregnancy and lactation) [4,54]. Some research suggests that iodine supplementation might be helpful for fibrocystic breast disease, although a specific mechanism of action has not been established [55] and data are limited.
In a double-blind study, researchers randomly assigned 56 women with fibrocystic breast disease to receive daily supplements of iodine (70 to 90 mcg I2/kg body weight) or placebo for 6 months [53]. At treatment completion, 65% of the women receiving iodine reported decreased pain compared with 33% of women in the placebo group. A more recent randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial had similar findings. In this study, researchers randomly assigned 111 women (18–50 years of age) with fibrosis and a history of breast pain to receive tablets containing 0 mcg, 1,500 mcg, 3,000 mcg, or 6,000 mcg of iodine per day [55]. After 5 months of treatment, women receiving doses of 3,000 or 6,000 mcg iodine had a significant decrease in breast pain, tenderness, and nodularity compared with those receiving placebo or 1,500 mcg iodine. The researchers also reported a dose-dependent reduction in self-assessed pain. None of the doses was associated with major adverse events or changes in thyroid function test results.
Although the results of these studies are promising, more research is needed to clarify iodine's role in fibrocystic breast disease. Moreover, the doses used in these studies (approximately 1,500–6,000 mcg per day) are several times higher than the iodine UL of 1,100 mcg for adults. Doses of this magnitude should only be used under the guidance of a physician [2].
Nuclear accidents can release radioactive iodine into the environment, increasing the risk of thyroid cancer in exposed individuals, especially children [56,57]. Thyroidal uptake of radioactive iodine is higher in people with iodine deficiency than in people with iodine sufficiency. For this reason, iodine-deficient individuals have a particularly high risk of developing radiation-induced thyroid cancer when exposed to radioactive iodine.
The FDA has approved potassium iodide as a thyroid-blocking agent to reduce the risk of thyroid cancer in radiation emergencies involving the release of radioactive iodine [56]. The FDA recommends that exposed people take a daily pharmacological dose (16–130 mg potassium iodide, depending on age) until the risk of significant radiation exposure ends [56,57]. Potassium iodide was widely used in Poland following the 1986 Chernobyl accident and childhood thyroid cancer rates did not increase substantially in subsequent years [58]. In areas where iodide prophylaxis was not used, such as Belarus and Ukraine, where many children were mildly iodine-deficient, the incidence of thyroid cancer sharply increased among children and adolescents [56].
High intakes of iodine can cause some of the same symptoms as iodine deficiency—including goiter, elevated TSH levels, and hypothyroidism—because excess iodine in susceptible individuals inhibits thyroid hormone synthesis and thereby increases TSH stimulation, which can produce goiter [2,59]. Iodine-induced hyperthyroidism can also result from high iodine intakes, usually when iodine is administered to treat iodine deficiency. Studies have also shown that excessive iodine intakes cause thyroiditis and thyroid papillary cancer [2,59]. Cases of acute iodine poisoning are rare and are usually caused by doses of many grams. Acute poisoning symptoms include burning of the mouth, throat, and stomach; fever; abdominal pain; nausea; vomiting; diarrhea; weak pulse; and coma [2].
Responses to excess iodine and the doses required to cause adverse effects vary [59]. Some people, such as those with autoimmune thyroid disease and iodine deficiency, may experience adverse effects with iodine intakes considered safe for the general population [2,5].
The FNB has established iodine ULs for food and supplement intakes (Table 3). In most people, iodine intakes from foods and supplements are unlikely to exceed the UL [2]. Long-term intakes above the UL increase the risk of adverse health effects. The ULs do not apply to individuals receiving iodine for medical treatment, but such individuals should be under the care of a physician [2].
* Formula and food should be the only sources of iodine for infants.
Iodine supplements have the potential to interact with several types of medications. A few examples are provided below. Individuals taking these medications on a regular basis should discuss their iodine intakes with their healthcare providers.
Anti-thyroid medications, such as methimazole (Tapazole®), are used to treat hyperthyroidism. Taking high doses of iodine with anti-thyroid medications can have an additive effect [60] and could cause hypothyroidism.
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, such as benazepril (Lotensin®), lisinopril (Prinivil® and Zestril®), and fosinopril (Monopril®), are used primarily to treat high blood pressure. Taking potassium iodide with ACE inhibitors can increase the risk of hyperkalemia (elevated blood levels of potassium) [60].
Taking potassium iodide with potassium-sparing diuretics, such as spironolactone (Aldactone®) and amiloride (Midamor®), can increase the risk of hyperkalemia [60].
The federal government's 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans notes that "Nutritional needs should be met primarily from foods. ... Foods in nutrient-dense forms contain essential vitamins and minerals and also dietary fiber and other naturally occurring substances that may have positive health effects. In some cases, fortified foods and dietary supplements may be useful in providing one or more nutrients that otherwise may be consumed in less-than-recommended amounts."

The Community's Challenge
As it works to develop and maintain Jewish identity, the Jewish community faces personal, institutional, and leadership challenges, many of which have a spiritual side.
Our Point of View
For a vital, expressive, welcoming Jewish life to come into being, we must tend to our inner spiritual lives. Clergy, in particular, can best help the Jewish community if they have a deep connection to their work; when they feel that what they are teaching has resonance in their own lives, they exemplify and inspire a vibrant, living Judaism.
Awakening, Healing, Renewing
Practice-based spirituality will return to Jewish life the full vitality of body, heart and soul to the highly intellectualized, privatized, and fragmented Judaism of the past. The Institute promotes an immersive, practice-based approach to deepening contemplative Jewish spiritual life for rabbis, cantors, educators, social justice activists, congregants, and community members, and we support them in creating and maintaining the rich, meaninfgul connections to Judaism that are so important for the overall health and continuity of the Jewish community.
The Institute offers transformative, contemplative programs that help people reclaim traditional Jewish wisdom and deepen their relationships with God. This helps them become stronger, more effective teachers, preachers, and leaders, which in turn helps build healthier communities and enriches everyday life for all Jews.
Our challenge is to reestablish a connection between Jewish practice and teaching, and the lived lives of Jews. We need teachers, grounded in authentic Jewish spiritual practice, who can help Jews connect their own deepest experiences to the language, imagery and compelling power of the Jewish tradition. If we are to inspire our people and sustain our vision, we must tend to our own inner life, drawing from Jewish spiritual tradition.
Jewish religious life is an engaged practice. Jewish belief and commitment manifests through action – performance of the mitzvot, participation in religious ritual and communal organizations, care and support for Jews everywhere.
Spiritual retreats that create a safe environment in which to investigate mindfulness, meditation, prayer, yoga, and Torah study help participants cultivate a deeper connection to self and therefore to God. Retreats and programs are led by rabbis and cantors, this creates unique opportunities to explore mindfulness, stillness, and movement in a Jewish context. Participants gain a vocabulary to articulate spiritual and related issues; this helps them address these issues in the wider Jewish community.
Participants develop a deep sense of authenticity and equanimity that leads to more flexible, responsive and skilled organizational leadership. Members of the clergy become refreshed and more open to contemplative forms of worship and service. Members of the laity find a deeper, more meaningful connection to Judaism. Congregational leaders are better able to partner with their rabbis, cantors, and educators to fulfill the obligations of tikkun olam.
Participants develop a deeper understanding of the relationship between Jewish texts, inner change, and social change. As individuals have more and more meaningful experiences with each other and their communities, the entire landscape of contemporary Judaism is transformed, and everyone benefits from the qualities of health, patience, appreciation, compassion, loving-kindness, truthfulness and humility that are essential to communities of meaning.

Linda Evangelista Settles Child-Support Case
The supermodel had sought $46,000 a month from French businessman Francois-Henri Pinault
With Linda Evangelista about to take the stand Monday for the second day, lawyers reached a settlement in the nasty child-support case between the supermodel and French billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault, who's now married to Salma Hayek.
The terms of the surprise deal were not immediately known, according to the New York Post, which first reported the settlement. Outside the courthouse Monday, Francois-Henri Pinault's lawyer, David Aronson told reporters, "Everybody's glad for the sake and the benefit of the child that it's done."
A rep for Evangelista had no comment. After court Evangelista and Pinault, who had barely made eye contact during the trial, were seen talking to each other.
The model, 46, had been seeking $46,000 in monthly child-support payments for her 5-year-old son Augie with former flame Pinault.
The case in a Manhattan family courtroom had grown increasingly contentious, with a lawyer for Evangelista claiming that Pinault had "suggested she terminate the pregnancy."
His attorney strongly denied that Pinault ever said that and a source criticized Evengelista's camp for making statements that could hurt the child.
It was revealed last year that Pinault, who has been married since 2009 to Hayek, had fathered a child with Evangelista.
The French businessman has two other children from a previous marriage, which ended in divorce in 2004, and a 4-year-old daughter, Valentina, with Hayek.

Tough break, missed chances cloud home opener
Zimmermann strong, but Nats hurt by key replay review, baserunning
WASHINGTON -- The Braves got to reliever Tyler Clippard and defeated the Nationals, 2-1, in the home opener at Nationals Park on Friday afternoon in front of a sellout crowd of 42,834. It was Washington's first loss under manager Matt Williams after winning the first three games of the season.
The score was tied at 1 when Atlanta took the lead in the eighth inning off Clippard, who walked leadoff batter Jason Heyward. Following Freddie Freeman's one-out single that advanced Heyward to third, Chris Johnson hit a sacrifice fly to Jayson Werth in right field, scoring Heyward. Clippard looked at the leadoff walk to Heyward as the turning point of the game.
"It's Relieving 101," Clippard said. "You don't walk the leadoff guy, especially during a tied ballgame like that. That's what ultimately got me. [The pitch to Johnson] was a fastball away. He just bobbed it up. It was one of those weird baseball things. If it was 10 feet in, [Werth] might have thrown him out."
The Nationals had a chance to tie the game in the bottom of the inning against right-hander David Carpenter, but they couldn't bring the runner home. Washington had runners on first and second with no outs, but Carpenter struck out Adam LaRoche, Ryan Zimmerman and Bryce Harper to end the threat.
"Carpenter was good. After the first two guys, he settled in," LaRoche said. "He walked Jayson on four straight pitches, and then he punched us out, so he has some pretty good stuff when he is around the zone."
LaRoche was involved in a play at the plate during the fourth inning. With LaRoche on first and one out, Zimmerman doubled over the head of Justin Upton in left field, and third-base coach Bob Henley waved LaRoche home, where he was easily thrown out.
Both Williams and LaRoche said Henley was trying to be aggressive on the bases.
"The players like it when their third-base coach is aggressive," LaRoche said. "If you do that enough times, it's going to pay off quite a bit. I didn't see the relay. I got hung up a little bit at second for just a split second thinking [Upton] might catch it. Obviously, I was thrown out by quite a bit. It's one of those things in the game."
Williams said the Nationals needed to score runs and didn't mind Henley sending LaRoche.
"We want to be aggressive in that situation, too," Williams said. "The ball went over Justin's head. It bounced off his body. [Henley] made a read, and [shortstop Andrelton] Simmons' throw was right on the money."
Right-hander Jordan Zimmermann recovered from a fever and pitched five strong innings, allowing one run on four hits and striking out nine. The run came courtesy of Evan Gattis' home run in the fifth inning.
"Health-wise, I feel a lot better today than I did yesterday," Zimmermann said. "Yesterday, it was rough. I got some fluids and some rest. I woke up this morning feeling pretty good. I called [Williams], and I was good to go. I was able to go five, and he thought that was enough."
It looked like the Nationals had tied the game at 1 in the bottom of the fifth inning against right-hander David Hale.
Ian Desmond led off by hitting a line drive that came to rest under the padding of the wall located in foul territory down the left-field line. Upton raised his arms in an attempt to alert umpires to call a ground-rule double. When third-base umpire Marvin Hudson did not make an immediate ruling, Upton picked the ball up and threw it back to the infield as Desmond completed what appeared to be an inside-the-park home run until Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez issued a challenge that led to the play being reviewed.
After consulting with an umpire located at Major League Baseball's Replay Operations center, crew chief Jim Joyce signaled for Desmond to return to second base with a ground-rule double -- instituting Rule 7.05f, which states a runner will be awarded "two bases, if a fair ball bounces or is deflected into the stands outside the first or third base foul lines; or if it goes through or under a field fence, or through or under a scoreboard, or through or under shrubbery or vines on the fence; or if it sticks in such fence, scoreboard, shrubbery or vines."
"It just went under the fence. Knowing the rule, I just put my hands up." Upton said. "I looked in and it didn't look like Marvin was coming out to look at it. So, Simmons was panicking, telling me to throw the ball. So I picked it up and threw it.
"The only thing I was really worried about was the fact that I did go in and get the ball. But with replay, they could kill that play knowing it was under the fence."
Williams questioned the call being overturned because Upton picked up the ball.
"That was my question, but when there was no signal from the umpire throwing his hands up saying it was a ground-rule double or lodged underneath, Justin reached down and picked it up and threw it in. By that time, Ian scored," Williams said. "So that was my question. But they reviewed it and determined the ball was lodged underneath the fence."
Moments later, Desmond was caught stealing after making an ill-advised break toward third base.
"We want to take advantage of it when it's there for us, but we also want to make sure that we are sure in that situation, so it was little overaggressive," Williams said about Desmond getting caught.
Desmond acknowledged that he made a mistake getting thrown out. It was his decision to steal third.
"I thought I had something. About halfway, I didn't have what I thought I had. I was in panic mode," Desmond said.
Washington tied the score an inning later off reliever Gus Schlosser, when Anthony Rendon scored on a sacrifice fly by Zimmerman.
But it wasn't enough for the Nationals against their National League East rival.

Are you sure about the examples you have for the istifhaam in the chapter on the two hamzahs in one word for warsh?
Assalaamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh,
Jazakum Allahu khayr for such a wonderful website. It's been a great aid for me while studying tajweed. Question: are you sure about the examples you have for the istifhaam in the chapter on the two hamzahs in one word for warsh? It doesn't match what I have in my mushaf.
jazakum Allahu khayr.
Wa 'alaykum assalaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh
Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
Wa iyyaakum wa-l-muslimeen.
We checked and the website is correct. The general rule for Warsh when there are two questioning hamzahs in a phrase, both preceding words beginning with hamzahs, Warsh reads the first occurrence with the questioning hamzah, and the second is read without the questioning hamzah (as a statement).
For example, aayah 82 in surah Al-Mu'minoon read by Hafs as:
Is read by Warsh as:
The rule for Warsh for two hamzahs in one word is employed, with tasheel of the second hamzah.
In the Warsh mushaf, the second hamzah is noted by a black dot low on the line because it has and a kasrah. The aayah looks like this in the Warsh mushaf:
There are exceptions to this general rule in the two surahs Al-Naml:67 and al-'Ankabut 28-29. In these two surahs Warsh reads the first word of the two words with questioning hamzahs without the questioning hamzah (it then reads as a statement) and the second with the questioning hamzah. In surah Al-'Ankabut,
this is the same way as Hafs reads, but Hafs does not make of the second hamzah in aayah 28. In the Warsh mushaf, aayah 28 of surah Al-'Ankabut, the second hamzah which has (with a kasrah) is again represented by a black dot low on the line:
It may be that you are not aware of all the markings in the Warsh mushaf. They are explained (in Arabic) at the beginning of the mushaf. The black dot is used for more than one rule, so it does not always mean there is tasheel.
Wa assalaam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh

How so? Whom do you want to see the quotes? I doubt most site users frequent the homepage. What's the downside if the machine can handle it at no added cost. I would think users primarily use http://www.reuniting.info/tracker and http://www.reuniting.info/tracker/karezza. So perhaps only tweak those headers.
It might be distracting. Do they change on a page refresh or time delay? A time delay seems like it would be more distracting.

University of Nebraska celebrates Collegebound Nebraska Week
The University of Nebraska today kicked off its first-ever Collegebound Nebraska Week, a coordinated effort to raise awareness about the financial aid program so that more qualifying students can take advantage of the opportunity to attend one of the four NU campuses and pay no tuition.
NU President James B. Milliken was joined by Gov. Dave Heineman at the kickoff event, where the Governor officially proclaimed this week Collegebound Nebraska Week.
Milliken noted that the number of NU students qualifying for Collegebound Nebraska increased 7 percent in the past year, to 6,655 in 2011-12. The university hopes to grow that number – and has enlisted a number of former Husker stars, including Olympic volleyball medalist Jordan Larson and Super Bowl champion Prince Amukamara, to help in its efforts. Amukamara joined the Collegebound Nebraska campaign in the spring, while Larson joined this fall. Other former Huskers, including football players Niles Paul, Austin Cassidy and D.J. Jones, volleyball player Kayla Banwarth, and track and field Olympian Chantae McMillan are also helping to promote Collegebound Nebraska through social media.
"Follow your dreams. I dreamed big when I was a kid and I wanted to play in college and I wanted to go to school, and I think if you have big goals, you'll find the right fit for you," Larson says in a new YouTube video featuring her talking about the importance of college.
"Collegebound Nebraska is a great program for kids that maybe didn't think they were able to go to college," Larson says.
Milliken said, "Collegebound Nebraska helps the university meet one of its most important obligations: that we will continue to provide affordable access for Nebraska students and families. I am very pleased to have some of our outstanding alumni, including Jordan Larson and Prince Amukamara, serving as spokespeople for Collegebound Nebraska. They will bring an additional level of visibility to this important program and will help make more Nebraskans aware of the tremendous opportunity it provides."
About a dozen Collegebound Nebraska student ambassadors, representing all four campuses, also are helping to promote the program to their peers and prospective students.
Governor Heineman said, "The Collegebound Nebraska program will ensure more Nebraska students have access to the tools they need to make higher education a reality, and that's great news for our state. Providing our students with the best education possible is essential to Nebraska's future."
The university plans a number of activities this week, including high school visits by several NU chancellors, social media promotion, and events for Collegebound Nebraska scholars on the campuses. The university also mailed Collegebound Nebraska packets – including informational brochures and posters featuring Larson and Amukamara – to Nebraska high schools. The packets also include a suggested Collegebound Nebraska "curriculum" for guidance counselors and teachers to use that features daily tips on the college planning process.
Increasing the number of students who graduate from high school, go on to college and earn a degree is a high priority for Nebraska. Milliken noted that research from the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce shows that by 2018, 63 percent of all jobs in the United States will require education beyond high school – and the demand is similar in Nebraska. Growing educational attainment in the state is a key goal of Nebraska's P-16 Initiative, which is chaired by Governor Heineman.
Collegebound Nebraska guarantees that any Nebraska undergraduate who qualifies for a federal Pell Grant and meets NU's admission requirements can attend the university and pay no tuition. Generally, a student from a family of four with one in college and an income of about $53,000 or less will qualify. A student must maintain a 2.5 grade point average to remain eligible for the program.
Collegebound Nebraska covers all of a student's tuition costs, up to 30 credit hours per academic year, that are not covered by Pell funds or other grants or scholarships. To qualify for Collegebound Nebraska, students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by April 1 each year. No separate application is required.
For more details, visit collegeboundnebraska.com or follow Collegebound Nebraska on Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr. YouTube also has a Collegebound Nebraska channel featuring videos of Larson, Amukamara, and the NU student ambassadors.
