Skiers demand a tall order from their outerwear. It has to serve multiple functions that may seem in opposition of each other at times, but not this list. The men's ski pants we've scoured the industry to find can serve dual purposes in maintaining waterproofness while also letting your sweat breathe so you're not frozen when you cool off. From bibs to insulated to gore-tex shells, you'll need plenty of pockets, the right fit and the right look to complete the outfit. Whether it's the backcountry that gets you out of bed in subzero temperatures or the resort that serves as your vacation go-to, we've got you covered.
Patagonia Powslayer ($$$)
SkiGenie Recommendation: Patagonia has updated their men's ski pants with the Powslayer Bib. This super high quality bib pant includes huge venting zips down the sides that can also allow you to fully zip open and unleash without taking off your pants or suspenders completely to go to the bathroom in the backcountry. The intelligently designed fit of the pants leaves enough room and cut to let you move comfortably and not feel as restricted as other bibs on the market. Cool colors with contrasting zippers that can mix and match with other Patagonia jackets round out the look.
Description: Updated this season with a refined fit, the PowSlayer Bibs are lightweight and packable protection for all of your snow sports pursuits. Built with innovative zero-bulk construction for freedom of movement and GORE-TEX® Pro fabric for the highest level of durably waterproof/breathable and windproof protection.
What Skier's Say:
- If snow somehow manages to invade these bibs, it's only due to neglecting to close the side zippers. Once everything is buttoned up, these pants offer some of the best protection from the elements, from the bibs to the three-layer GORE-TEX Pro material. The fit allows plenty of room for heavy-duty base layers and flexibility for just about any snow sport. Patagonia cleverly includes side zippers that mostly function as air vents, but they can also be fully unzipped if you need a bathroom break and can't drop your drawers completely. – OnTheSnow
- I really like the Powslayer even though not normally being that big a fan of bib pants; the loose, comfortable fit and well thought out design means they're really comfortable whether riding or hiking. The durable build of the Powslayer Bib means that you'll get a pair of ski pants that should see out several seasons, which goes a long way towards justifying the high price. –Snow Magazine

Marmot Mantra Insulated Men's Ski Pants ($$)
SkiGenie Recommendation: These men's ski pants from Marmot are insulated but not too bulky. They have tons of pockets, a good high waist, sturdy gaitors, and inner thigh venting. The special material Marmot uses helps prevent and dissipate condensation build up so you're not shivering after you work up a sweat. The Mantra will help you stash all your necessities and stay warm and dry no matter how cold temps drop.
Description: Updated with a modern, trimmer fit, the Insulated Mantra is a big mountain brawler ready to launch. Starting off the construction of this pant with Marmot MemBrain® laminate technology for breathable, waterproof protection and Thermal R® synthetic insulation for warmth, we tweaked every pocket, closure and lining for supreme performance.
What Skier's Say:
- Very high quality product from Marmot. Comfortable in all conditions. Never had to wear thermals and it did get cold, Plenty of vents and zipped pockets for security. Usually buy North Face but these are better.
- This product held up like it is supposed to. Not once did I get wet at all. Couldn't have asked for a better pair of snow pants.

Flylow IQ Pant ($$$)
SkiGenie Recommendation: Flylow is known for its hefty construction and their shell pants are some of the most waterproof pieces you'll ever own. The simple, clean lines, incredibly lightweight material and unique avalanche beacon attachment system lends itself to specifically to backcountry pursuits. Don't let the low bulk fool you, the IQ Pant comes with reinforced Cordura cuffs and seam taping to outlast the next downpour.
Description: The IQ Pant is magically both light and resilient. It's made with the lightest Polartec NeoShell fabric available, which offers maximum stretch, breathability, and seriously powerful waterproofing.
What Skier's Say:
- This is an extremely lightweight, form-follows-function pant designed for the active skier. What defines an "active skier" you might ask? A skier who often works for his turns, isn't scared to layer if the day gets cold (long johns often needed with these on colder days) but keeps charging for lines well off the beaten path into May. Durability has been great, pockets well thought out, venting a bit less than I'd like but the pant so light it hasn't effected me like other pants I've owned. The pant fits true to size, not too baggy, not to tight. I have used crampons with these without catching my pant leg every other step. Fit: 6'2″ 195lbs 34/32 – size large fits great.

Flylow Baker Bib ($$$)
SkiGenie Recommendation: Another solid selection from Flylow Gear, the Baker is a versatile bib for both backcountry and in resort. It features a relaxed fit so you don't feel trapped in constrictive overalls, lots of pockets, and some unique color ways. When you're rocking the Baker Bib you evoke the attitude of a seasoned veteran no matter where your skiing takes you. This is a high quality, high value pant that will last you several seasons.
Description: Most bibs are created for ski mountaineering. And yeah, our bibs can handle alpine ascents—they're made with a weight conscious three-layer waterproof fabric, ample pocket storage for maps and other essential gear, but they also fit loose and are comfortable enough to rock the resort or the après-ski scene. The Baker Bib has become the gold standard in the ski industry for tough, high performance waterproof bibs.
What Skier's Say:
- I'm not sure manufacturers in general understand how terrible it is for those of us outside the "normal" fit range to buy stuff that can be worn but isn't actually anywhere near fitting properly. THANK YOU FLYLOW FOR MAKING A LARGE-TALL! And THANK YOU FLYLOW for making pant legs that can fit skier legs!! No binding when you move, nor problems adding a layer for insulation. Well made & nice details overall!
- I have owned multiple pairs of Flylow's snow pants and they have all been amazing! These Baker Bibs are the best of the best. The durability, construction, materials, weatherproofing, venting are all great. I've skied both tele and alpine in these and they move as if they are one with your body, never bunching or riding up. They regulate the temperature very well, never getting too warm or cold. These are by far the best bibs that I have owned.

Stio Environ Pant ($$$)
SkiGenie Recommendation: Stio is a fairly new company that has made a splash in the ski outerwear scene. The Environ pant is one of those standard, wear them everyday no matter what type of weather or activity pant. They are made with this super soft, flexible, sort of brushed material that moves with you extremely well. When you put them on you may feel like they were made just for you. They are cool looking with chunky zippers and contrasting colors. Overall solid construction that will get the job done well.
Description: Our Teton-tested, all-mountain ski pant with Dermizax® 3-layer stretch waterproof/breathable technology, built for resort, side and backcountry. Features include an adjustable waist with belt loops, internal boot gaiter with gripper elastic, and MaxVent™ outside thigh vents.
What Skier's Say:
- The Arctic Chill arrived two days after my Environ pants so I decided to take them for a long outdoor skate at -10 with the wind whipping. Bought them to ski, but the skating test on a big open lake showed me how great they would be. Warm, flexible, pockets for my phone, and when I got called in to warm up by the fire, the cooling unzips were put to use. Looked high and low for pants to do this work, and am happy that I found and ordered these. Thanks for making them.
- Was looking for a solid ski pant to wear in resort skiing and side country. I am 6 foot one and 170 pounds and was swimming in the large size. The medium size fits well, not tight but looks nice. My wife loves them. They look good with the contrasting heel cuffs and feel very durable. Wore them with one pair of long underwear in 20 degrees skiing and was plenty warm but would want another pair of underwear of really cold. Side vents are a little odd in that there is no mesh behind so if you open them up you are open directly to air. Seem like they'd work. Pockets well positioned and quality zippers. Very waterproof – sat on wet ski lifts one day and was completely dry. Great pant!
- I was really looking forward to receiving my order, and when I did, I felt the quality was immediately apparent. I used the sizing chart, and it suggested I should be a medium. Granted this is outerwear, but I feel that they run a tad big for what it is worth in case you think you might be between sizes.
- Good fit, high mobility, good windstopper proof, true to fit, overall excellent pant. One wish – suspenders or ability to connect suspenders.

Helly Hansen Elevate Shell Pant ($$$)
SkiGenie Recommendation: Helly Hansen may be best known for their foul weather gear for sailing, so we trust that these shell men's ski pants have extremely waterproof features that are basically guaranteed to keep you dry from weather on the outside or sweat from the inside. This pant breathes. It also has a freeride fit that takes into account your jacket fitting a bit longer, so they've lowered the pants pockets to fit with the look. Since they're shells they can go the distance into the backcountry, but they can also perform on those long cold, snowy or wintry-mixed days.
Description: Designed for action filled days on the snow, the Elevate Shell Pant has a relaxed freeride cut built with Helly Tech® Professional 3L fabric. Featuring a new FLOW membrane enabling unparalleled breathability, these are guaranteed to keep you dry, warm, and comfortable. Built with premium freeride specific features throughout including jacket-pant integration buttons, large reinforcement and Recco® advanced rescue system.
What Skier's Say:
- The Elevate Shell Pant fit seamlessly with boots on, giving just enough length to cover all the buckles without bunching. The velcro waist adjustments worked well when the day called for tightening up after losing a layer. Great maneuverability and surprisingly warm. Bravo. –onthesnow
- They are a minimalist but still versatile pant. On the other hand, they are not particularly durable, have weirdly shaped pockets, and lack belt loops. –TGR

Mountain Hardwear Returnia Pant ($)
SkiGenie Recommendation: When a ski patroller can rate this pant as a solid work pant they trust day in and day out, you know you'll be in good hands, or should we say, good legs. The Returnia Pant is a solid men's ski pant, simple and durable so you can wear them all day, everyday and never doubt its ability to keep you warm and dry. They also come in short, tall and regular lengths for an enhanced fit.
Description: Lap on: Lightweight, with great breathability so you won't sweat out. Thigh vents, edge guards and powder cuffs with bonus fleece lined hand pockets.
What Skier's Say:
- Have about 70 days in these pants this year many of them working patrol days. So far these pants are real durable and easy to move around in. A good buy!
- I used the Returnia Pant for both Skiing and work. The weather conditions were from -20F to 50F, in wind and calm, light snow to wet thick snow. The Pant was cool in the extreme cold, but warmed up after some time. I wore a mid-weight base layer during the coldest times, and a lighter base for the warmer times. The pant was both durable, protective, and had plenty of movement for skiing, hiking, and outdoor work.
- I got to ski in my new Returnia pant over the weekend. It was below freezing the whole time, so the pant wasn't tested in the wettest conditions, but it seemed to repel water nicely. I wore it just with some not very fancy long underwear and my lower body stayed warm and dry. The pockets for your hands are not very deep, but its nice that they are fleece lined. I found the thigh pocket very handy for my cell phone and the key leash in the left pocket made me feel a lot better about not losing my keys.

Norrona Roldal Gore-Tex Pant ($$$)
SkiGenie Recommendation: Faint of heart need not apply for the Norrona Roldal pants. These Norwegian numbers are made of hardcore gore-tex material yet soft to the touch, durable, extremely waterproof, and they look super sharp on – like you're a pro. They also come in some fun colors like bright pink and bright highlighter green as well as black and navy.
Description: Waterproof freeride pants with an urban look and a 3-layer GORE-TEX® membrane for men. They're better equipped for active freeriding as they have good breathability as well as the classical details like ventilation options on the side, practical pockets and water resistant zippers.
What Skier's Say:
- I land on my behind quite frequently and these pants have taken all I've thrown at them this past season. The fit is great and I love that they're a bit longer so that they don't ride up your lower leg when doing grabs. I'm a big fan of using suspenders so I zipped the ones I have from my lyngen pants onto the røldal and it works great. When you don't have to tighten them around your waist it's like you have a huge vent up top, perfect for touring on warmer days.
- I bought the pants last year and they are still in great shape after a whole season on the hill. They are pretty long on the fit but that is fine in ski boots, I roll them up for aprés. There is plenty of space in the large thigh pockets for extra gear. Not quite as tough wearing as the Lofoten pants as the ankle reinforcement isn't as tough.
- These Pants are amazing! The Material is great but not easy to describe. The finish feels very soft (almost like cotton) but at the same time it is really strong and durable. I used it for a whole season now. It survived everything from some drops, rock contact to bad weather and also washing. It still looks like almost new.

Outdoor Research Blackpowder Pants ($$)
SkiGenie Recommendation: These pants are a tremendous value for the die-hard skier who may even work at the resort or puts in 100+ days. They have simple, adjustable and removable suspenders and come with Outdoor Research's lifetime guarantee.
Description: Built to hold up to the demands of mountain professionals, the Blackpowder Pants let you approach season after season of steep chutes with complete confidence.
What Skier's Say:
- Pants fit according to the sizing chart. I am 6'2, 200lbs. My sizing was right in the L/XL line. I am pleased I went with the XL's. All the pockets are easily zipped with gloves. Zero concerns about being wet in any conditions. The leg interior and exterior vents are sweet. You can dress warm and dump heat when needed. If you like suspenders cool, if not they are easily removed. I rock a thick belt and the belt loops accommodate it with ease. The reinforced scuff guards re durable. I have had several knees to chest moments recently and the pants don't feel like they bind up at all. Great product.
- I really love these pants. They are very light compared to my old pants which makes a big difference when hiking or skiing lift accessed terrain. The vents really work well for air flow to cool you off. I love the softer fabric of the pertex, but they still are very rugged and durable. The suspenders are a great addition as I'm often in between pant sizes and size up, so it's nice to have your pants not sagging down to your hips which gets old very quickly. The beacon pockets is another well thought out feature. They are very breathable and warm enough for the entire season here in Colorado. The fit is a nice slightly baggy fit, but not park rat obnoxious. I have nothing to bad to say about these great pants.
- I purchased these pants this season and have been thoroughly impressed with the fit and mobility so far. The dual vents on both inside and outer leg are a savior when your carrying around ski gates etc. all day. If you have your base layers in check then warmth will not be an issue for a comfortable and especially dry day. With ample pockets for all the gear there is plenty of space for everything to have it's own place.

Eider Alta Badia Pant ($)
SkiGenie Recommendation: Fit and design are the highlights of this basic, standard men's ski pant. The Alta Badia includes a built in elasticized belt and pre-shaped knee articulation so they stay on and move with you. A well thought out design for a competitive price. One of the color options is a heather gray that would complement any bright colored or even simple black jacket.
Description: Lightly insulated with a durable outer, the Alta Badia Pants can take a beating while keeping resort skiers warm and dry.
What Skier's Say:
- Pants are excellent. Not all the bells and whistles but great gear! They do run a bit small and short. XL fits a bit smaller than a pair of 36×32 pants.
- These are a great basic ski pant, if you're looking for high quality fabric and construction for a reasonable price. These aren't going to have all the bells and whistles of other higher end pants out there…but they do have all the basic features you need. There is no venting, but the breathability of the fabric will keep you comfortable. It's a classic ski fit- so not tight and not baggy.

Presidential Awards for Excellence in Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Mentoring
From: A Report to the Congress: Science and Technology Shaping the Twenty-First Century, 1996
From Executive Office of the President, Office of Science and Technology Policy
As a poor, Mexican American child, Richard Tapia knew he excelled in math and science, but how his technical abilities could lead him out of inner city Los Angeles seemed uncertain. "I just needed someone to tell me, 'Yes, it's possible."'
Tapia, now director of Rice University's Department of Computational and Applied Mathematics, recalls several teachers who went the extra mile and encouraged him to "take your talent and love of math, and make a career out of it." While building impressive academic and professional achievements, including nomination by President Clinton to the National Science Board that governs the National Science Foundation (NSF), Tapia has never forgotten that one positive statement can change someone's life forever.
Today, the importance of role modeling and mentoring is recognized at the highest levels. In 1996, Tapia, along with nine other individuals and six institutions, received a Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Mentoring. The awards are bestowed by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy through the National Science and Technology Council. They recognize outstanding mentoring efforts and programs that enhance the participation of individuals from groups under-represented in these fields, namely minorities, women, and persons with disabilities.
Tapia's example is remarkable, but it is not unique. He and his co-recipients share President Clinton's belief that the nation's future prosperity depends on producing the finest scientists and engineers for the twenty-first century, and that we cannot afford to ignore the talents of people who may be outside the economic and social mainstream.
Another award winner, Martha Shumate Absher, firmly believes that outreach is done one individual at a time. Absher is director of outreach for the NSF Engineering Research Center for Emerging Cardiovascular Technologies at Duke University. She recalls a deaf undergraduate student she met when she visited Washington, D.C. to interview Gallaudet University candidates for her summer program. He was a "superb computer scientist," she recalls, but he was discouraged and worried about how to support his wife and the child they were expecting. He needed a job and was considering dropping out of school. She arranged a paid research internship for him in industry for one semester and, after the baby was born, brought the young father to Duke for the summer program. "He did a wonderful job," and was inspired to apply to the University of Maryland Computer Science Department, where he is now enrolled. Without her program's support, "who knows if he could have continued?" Absher muses. "He might have been lost to the whole educational system."
Absher's program provides laboratory research experience, and develops mentoring relationships with students from six universities, including Gallaudet and five Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Students from her program often become mentors to other students. She concentrates on follow-up because students who face challenges, such as disabilities, are often unable to turn one positive experience into continued career development.
Absher and Tapia believe that government support has literally changed the lives of students who otherwise would be unable to make the move from high school to undergraduate school to graduate school. Both express surprise that their award has made a difference to them but say that the personal recognition, and the visibility brought to their programs, helps them toward their goal of developing a pool of highly trained scientists and engineers that reflects our diverse population. Especially for those students who must overcome long odds to pursue a technical career, mentors such as Tapia and Absher can be all-important figures because they believe it when they say, "Yes, it's possible."

New Bike Trails and Ride Rules
A rundown of new bicycle amenities. And permits are now required for group rides on area trails.
I attended the recent Milwaukee County Trails Council meeting and once again have a lot to report. The meeting was attended by Melissa Cook, the WDNR Regional trail manager, SEWRPC, the WisDOT regional Bicycle and Pedestrian Coordinator, representatives from the Metro Mountain Bikers, representatives from the Rolling Dice Riders, and the Milwaukee County member of the Association of Wisconsin Snowmobile Clubs. Normally Kristin Bennett, the City of Milwaukee Bicycle and Pedestrian Coordinator, also attends, but she was at the Pro Walk, Pro Bike. Pro Place conference in Pittsburgh.
Oak Leaf Trail Extension North: As I reported in my last update from the previous Trails Council Meeting, phases 1-3 of this multi-year project are complete. Phase 4, AKA the UP Rail Corridor, is the final 3.1 mile link between where the trail currently ends in Estabrook Park and dumps you out onto Wilson, just south of Hampton Avenue, and the newest segment of trail that begins at Sydney Place. The segment includes four bridges.
The staff from Milwaukee County Parks told us that their offer to purchase the right of way from the railroad went in last month. WisDOT has approved the Environmental Assessment and the Design Study Report, both formal parts of any state funded project. A revised acquisition plat was approved and filed with the County Clerk. DAAR Engineering, the WisDOT master consulting engineering firm hired to review every project in the SE Wisconsin region, is negotiating a three-party contract with Graef to be the bridge consultant.
Bottom line is they plan to advertise the project for bids by October 27th with construction in 2015. That assumes the bids come in OK, which is not a given since bids have been coming in high lately.
To anyone who has been riding the single track desire line trail for the last umpteen years, despite the trees growing up between the rails, that track was not officially abandoned until a few yeast ago, which explains why this has taken so long. The good news is there is finally light at the end of the tunnel!
Washed out Oak Leaf: The County was awarded FEMA money to repair some sections of trail washed out in the floods a couple years ago. Construction is done in the sections in Estabrook, Riverside, Bradford and Juneau Parks. Construction will start soon in Grant, Pleasant Valley, and Big Bay Parks.
We also discussed the river flooding and leaving mud on the trail in the underpass at Layton Avenue. Members noted that because of the very high water table there, the river floods pretty much every time it rains and leaves slippery mud on the trail that then dries into rutted concrete-like dirt. We discussed options and suggested a permanent sign warning trail users of the potential hazard and the need for increased maintenance. There is a marked at-grade crossing that people can use as an alternative.
Menomonee River Parkway Reconstruction: The Wisconsin Bike Fed is part of the consulting team on this project. Our role is small, but important as we review bicycle and pedestrian accommodations. Anyone who has ridden on the Menomonee River Parkway knows it is in dire need of reconstruction. This project will include a separated multi-use path, better on-street accommodations for bicycles as well as rain gardens and bioswales to collect storm water runoff and cleanse it of silt and pollution. There also will be new LED lighting, improved pedestrian crossings and some minor traffic calming to keep motor vehicle speeds down and help reduce cut-through traffic. The overall goal of the project is to restore a parkway feel to the road, oh, and to fix the pot holes! The project has a website with more information here.
The project is being done in two phases, with phase one from Capitol to Burleigh and phase two from Burleigh to Church Street. The county has budgeted about $3.1 million for the first phase, which will cover about two miles of the parkway from Capitol Drive to Burleigh Street. A second phase would be funded in the 2015 budget, it includes another 2.5 miles of parkway from Burleigh Street to Church Street in the Village, likely to cost about $3.8 million.
Phase one of the project was advertised and bids were opened August 13th. They are waiting for a permit to be approved, but underground work will start this year and perhaps some road construction. The rest of the project will be done in 2015, it includes a new section of trail along with improved bicycle/pedestrian and storm water facilities on the parkway itself.
Beerline Trail Extension: The City has hired a consultant to begin acquisition of the abandoned railroad right of way needed to extend the Beerline Trail north from Keefe Avenue to Capitol Drive. The project will also include elements from The Artery.
Bay View to Downtown Connector: How old do you have to be to remember this project began as a bike path over the Hoan Bridge? OK, I won't go there, but I am happy to inform readers that construction on the final segment of the WisDOT Preferred Alternative for the Bay View to Downtown Connector is nearly complete. This segment begins where the Kinnickinnic River Trail ends at East Washington Street and is planned to continue north along S. Water Street to Erie. The project includes a combination of new pavement, removal of some abandoned railroad tracks, improved track crossings for the active rail lines that remain with a side path to get people over the oblique crossings at a safe angle, new bike lanes, and anti-slip plates on the Pittsburgh/Young Street bascule bridge over the river.
I rode down to check it out over the weekend and there were already people taking advantage of the new facilities. While it isn't the Hoan, it does make for a better route from Bay View to Downtown. Check out my photos of the project below.
The City of Milwaukee also added green bike lanes in the conflict points when they resurfaced Humboldt Avenue. Humboldt is a very important bicycle route in Milwaukee and this project was greeted with celebration by the neighbors in Riverwest. They even organized a quick "green party," in which people dressed in green pedaled over to promote the new green lanes.
Counting Bicycles: Milwaukee County was able to purchase a trail counter with funds raised by the Oak Leaf Trail Discovery Tour Passport Program. The County hopes to purchase 16 more counters next year. The Counter is already in place and sending in great data. Motor Vehicle counts are part of every state and municipal annual traffic program. Doing counts of people using trails should really be done everywhere too. Madison has been counting trail users for years and that data is very useful to see growth and know when to do maintenance on trails to impact the least amount of users.
The Bike Fed is using volunteers to do manual counts in the Riverwest and Harambe neighborhoods as part of the benchmarking part of our Smart Trips Project and we might try to expand those counts locations around the City next year.
Milwaukee Bike Maps: When I last spoke with City of Milwaukee Bicycle and Pedestrian Coordinator Kristin Bennett, she told me she had someone working on updating the GIS for a new map and was 90 percent sure she would have funding to reprint the map in 2015.
State Bike Map: The state is working on an update to the state map, they have asked if the Bike Fed would distribute the map again and pay for printing this time. It seems as if the company that previously printed and sold the map to us is no longer interested in printing maps. While digital maps are probably making it harder for for-profit companies to print maps, as a non-profit, we might be able to make that work, so we have agreed in principle, but no final details of that arrangement have been worked out. Unlike the Milwaukee County map, there remain many thousands of state bike maps available, so it is not as urgent.
Special Events Permits now required to hold events on trails and in parks: This topic might need a blog post of its own. Milwaukee County Parks and the WDNR are now requiring ANY publicized event (runs, rides, yoga classes, etc.) to be permitted. This means any time someone creates a Facebook Event for a bike ride that uses the Oak Leaf Trail or Hank Aaron State Trail they must fill out a permit, even if there is no fee for the ride (or run, yoga class, etc.).
Underwear Ride, Monthly Group Ride, team training ride, class field trip on bicycles, whatever, if you create and publicize an event and invite people to it using social media or regular media, you must get a permit. If no fee is being charged for the event, it is likely there will be no fee required for the permit. The state has an insurance requirement though, which will be very problematic for most free events.
Before you get up in arms (like I did when I first heard this), I would ask EVERYONE to fill out the permit applications for EVERY ride you publicize. Not for every ride you take on your own, but any event you create, or for every regular standing event. By doing so, this will do several things:
It will help the County get a better idea of just how many events are in the parks and how many people are really using the parks. That sort of information could be used to request additional funding and resources.
It will help ensure your event does not conflict with other events you might not know about.
It will also test this policy. Nobody has yet had a problem with it, so why complain yet? Let's try it out, fill out the permit applications (they are not long) and see how it goes? If the state and county are able to quickly turn around and approve permits and this results in better data about users, it will be a win. If the process holds up ride planning, overwhelms staff resources, or free social rides are refused because of the insurance requirement, the Bike Fed can work with the agencies to get changes made in this policy.

Operations SIG is compiling a list of industries throughout North America for use in creating waybills for traffic moving to, from or via model railroads.
Some operators feel that offline origin/destination information is unnecessary or a distraction for crews "in the heat of" an operating session. These persons are excused at this point. If you would like to add offline, customer or commodity information to the waybills or switchlists you use to move model traffic, read on.
Currently there are about 40,000 industries in our directory (still being accumulated). Industries are predominantly actual companies located on prototype railroads, but we also include some industries on model railroads because some users enjoy including them in their routings. These are specifically identified, however, so those who prefer to exclude them can do so.
We welcome submissions of industry data from more model railroads. Ideally data can be sent by email, or single-file attachments to email, to firstname.lastname@example.com (Please include "OpSIG" in the subject line). Best formats are MS Works, Excel, or Lotus 1-2-3 up to 5.0, but "text" is acceptable.
The files contain the following data for each industry ("industries" are not just factories but also grain elevators, mines, etc -- customers -- but omit freight stations, team tracks, icing facilities, etc which are "everywhere"):
Where more than one RR serves a town and we do not know which serves the plant, all (or several) are shown prefixed by "*" Our assumption is that the industry is open to reciprocal switching. Shortlines are listed with their (Class I connections) in parentheses.
We assume inputs received may be inferred from the product produced. For example, paper mills receive pulpwood, chemicals, woodpulp, fuel, kaolin, etc. The file InputOutput.txt provides suggestions for such relationships. For paper in particular, see also PaperChemicals.txt.
Files are text format with tabs separating columns and should be readily downloaded and read by MS Works, Lotus, probably Excel, and word processing programs and should be easily modifiable for various waybill programs.
The following information is provided for industries on model railroads, so users know how to route traffic to/from their own lines. This is compiled in OfficialGuide.txt:
The database consists of four files of approximately 10,000 records each. The files and states contained are as follows:
OpSigEST.txt - ME NH VT MA CT RI NY NJ PA DE MD DC MI
OpSigMWC.txt - OH IN IL WI MN ND SD NE IA
OpSigSTH.txt - VA NC SC GA FL AL MS KY TN WV MO AR LA TX OK KS plus Mexico. Some Kansas City industries show state=MK
OpSigWST.txt - WA OR ID MT WY AK CO NM UT AZ NV CA plus all Canada
We have begun an update of the text files above, and the first two files are available in Excel format:
These files have additions, but are otherwise unchanged from the original data:
Dave Husman of the Yahoo! Group has made the data 'database friendly', in his words:
"I made three passes through it changing all the years to 4
digit years, identifying commodities with multiple listings, separating the
listings into individual records, adding a few alternative listings and finally
correcting and normalizing commodity names."
Peter White, owner of Shenandoah Software (ShenWare),
has created the freeware program IndMan which can be used to read, sort, and select from the OpSig
files (after you download them) in order to customize an industries database for your own railroad.
We suggest you also download OfficialGuide.txt and InputOutput.txt as IndMan can display these files. You will notice that ShenWare also offers demos of its very useful programs Waybills (which uses these or your industry files for the obvious purpose) and MiTrains, which can be used to inventory your freight cars (and other things) and generate car cards.
Jerry Britton, publisher of the Keystone Crossings web site specific to the Pennsylvania Railroad, offers industry files for the PRR's vast network. Please visit http://pennsyrr.com/index.php/freight/645-indman .
We welcome corrections and additions, especially industries on other operating model railroads. Note that this is only an exchange of information and we are not planning or offering any physical exchange of cars. I look forward to hearing from you.

A Data Science Central Community
I am NOT an academic nor a graduate tudent somewhere. However, I read books on Topology out of personal interest. Does anyone here have any interesting links or white papers on using mathematical topological (metric space, etc.) approaches to data mining. After wtaching some PBS series on mathematics, I am also interested in looking at Euler's formulas for data mining as well.

Topology can be related to clustering problems through Voronoi diagrams and tessellations, in particular in the context of keyword taxonomy building in small dimensions. Jean-Yves Dexmier has developed business applications based on topology concepts.
Thanks, Vince. The only BASIC understanding I got recently was in the Tan, Steinbach and Kumar book, "Introduction to Data Mining" (Pearson Education, 2006), Section 7.5.4 (Candidate Generation). The clustering problems must somehow be linked with the association analysis for subgraphs. I have invited him on my LinkedIn account.
The application of topological spaces covers a very wide area of interests, including economics - my favorite. Topology, with respect to economics, is used in consumer preferences, utility and individual/society choice. The topology comes into play within the metric space in determining continuity of a function on an open set with properties that X and Y possess. A topological property with X that is invariant. X and Y would be the preference of say for example a X=big mac or a Y=whopper -- each of the burgers have properties that people must choose between(a set of attributes that follow the properties of a topological space)...hence a preference/choice or the duality pairing. The understanding of a consumer preference requires large amounts of data and performing data mining activities.
Topology is also used in game theory like Nash's work. You would also have to understand fixed point theorems. Go to google and type in "economic consumer preference topology" without the quotes. That search gave me a bunch of acrobat pdfs in the results - try to use the *.edu sites as much as possible.
A good reference for the above explanation would be "Real Analysis with Economic Applications" by Efe A Ok. That book is a very mathematically intensive book but I like reading it - you have been warned. To gain a better understanding of topology, I would recommend an introduction to "real analysis" book for your reading pleasure - it would only help in data mining. Everyone learns differently or in different ways.
Okay, maybe the burger thing was a lame example.
Have fun...I do.
Contrare, Lance. The example was fine. You just wet my appetite more so. The game theory thing is something worth exploring. I would love to borrow the Munkre book from soem college book store, as on Amazon it's over $100. Thanks for your input. :-)
Interesting article on some Air Force officer compiling (DE-CLASSIFIED hopefully) every record of bombs dropped since WW1.
This can sure be used for data mining analyses somehow.
Thanks for sharing. I wonder if the database is publicly available for review. Simplistically, I would like to see a world map with circles on it - the size of the circles would represent the number of bombs dropped. I got the idea from Vincent's credit card fraud map as I was logging into this site. Then correlate that information in different ways to answer a boat load of questions.
BTW: Analyticbridge.com (Vincent) must be doing a good job with SEO, the above phrase to use in a search for consumer preference and some references about game theory, this posting has changed the search results. In order to get what I saw earlier you will need to use the following on Google:
site:*.edu filetype:pdf economic game theory "topological space"
Then you will see the publications about game theory and topological spaces. This post and search results also illustrates another important concept in game theory that, in essence, our actions influence others. Like this posting, as an example, changed the search results enough that the search criteria needed to be changed to get closer results previously.
Algebraic topology associates algebraic invariants (integers, groups, rings, etc) to topological spaces. The field of applied algebraic topology is relatively new and is relevant to this question, I think. The "Topology and Data" by Gunnar Carlson is nice survey. The Wikipedia entry Topological Data Analysis has some more info. I have a couple of talks on my website. "Topological Data Analysis" is intended for undergraduates and "Intro to Applied Alg Top" was given in a seminar.
I find this a nice introduction to the topic of data analysis using topological features of data: http://normaldeviate.wordpress.com/2012/07/01/topological-data-anal...
Vanessa Robins (http://people.physics.anu.edu.au/~vbr110/) did lots of work on this topic. Her webpage has links to many papers.

A little over a century after the first train pulled away from Xenia Station, miles of tracks were unceremoniously ripped out in the late 1970s from the former Little Miami Railroad in Xenia, Ohio. Xenia certainly wasn't alone in their desertion of the rail system. By 1984, an estimated 4,000 to 8,000 miles were lost each year, signifying the end of a transportation era. A big question then followed:
What do we do with it now?
Bike advocacy groups around the country had an answer: repurposing the abandoned railroads into bike trails. And in 1986, the "rails to trails" movement came to Xenia in the form of a fully-funded grant from the Federal Highway Administration, thanks to the initiative of motivated cyclists and city planners. There would be a resurrection of the Little Miami Railroad — and it would live its new life as a bike trail.

Crix 'Essex Dog Day'
We had a howling day of cowhide fun at Crix' 'Essex Dog Day' at the end of August; with canine friends and their companions shopping at our Zulucow stand. There were gun dogs; sausage dogs, dolled up poodles and even a pug in a dress – I am not joking! (Nor was the owner when I laughed at her mutt's attire – eek!)
The word or 'bark' had got out and the woofers came from near and far to peruse Zulucow's unique, sustainably sourced, handmade, cowhide collection!
The funky cowhide dog collars were obviously a winner; but the cowhide cushions and cowhide rugs also got a 'paws up' for their beauty; dog friendly cosiness, warmth and versatility.
The lazy but gorgeous labradors bayed for cowhide dog beds….but nope, sorry Tilly and Poppy; the line must be drawn somewhere… They did approve of our fabulous new cowhide bean bags and cowhide squashy pouffes/cubes (pix coming soon)…. So all is well in the kennel tonight.
Alison and Ian Twinley, owners of Crix and their 100 volunteers, raised more than £10 000 on the day, and £280 000 over the last 6 years for local Essex charities. Zulucow was proud to support their impressive fundraising efforts; all for a good cause.
I particularly enjoyed the police dog display; the gun dogs in action; but my favourite were the working sheepdogs: cooly controlling flocks of sheep and geese…evoking memories from my childhood tv viewing of 'One Man and His Dog.'
Woof Woof! Roll on next year!

If you own rental property in different states, you've obviously had to stay on top of any eviction laws that sometimes change. While all states have individual legal grounds for evictions, some are roughly the same. A few states in the NW region of the U.S. are fairly similar, with examples including both Washington State and Idaho.
Those of you renting in Idaho should still see what's different from Washington if you have properties in both states. You'll find a few variances that could throw you off legally without reading up.
Sending a Notice About Delinquent Rent
One consistent thing about many eviction laws in the NW is being able to legally send a three-day notice about reneged or late rent. While you should set up an early agreement about when you expect rent, you have a legal right in Idaho to send a notice if the rent's just a day late. Yes, you heard that right – you can send a notice to your tenant if the rent is only one (1) day late.
These three-day notices are just a first step in possibly evicting the tenant. It doesn't necessarily mean you will based on if they pay the rent within those three days. In a case where the tenant vacates after three days, they'd still owe you rent. Not paying it could lead to further legal battles.
What to Include in Your Three-Day Notice
Specifics are always important with three-day notices. As in nearby states, Idaho requires you to indicate the full names of the tenants, address of the property, the amount of rent due, and the county where the property is. Keep in mind these forms are only focused on rent issues alone. If you're evicting for other reasons, you'll need to talk with an attorney.
It's possible to fill out these notices through an online interactive form. Look at Idaho Legal Aid Services' FAQ for answers to how this works. Or you could use VerticalRent as a starting point for your Idaho eviction notice.
Going to Court to Start the Eviction Process
You'll have to go through an Idaho district court of your county if the tenant does nothing after your three-day warning. Idaho law calls this a forcible entry and unlawful detainer suit to make this successful.
By filing a complaint or summons, you'll explain to the judge why you're proceeding with an eviction. As in Washington State, the judge in your district court may call up a trial with the tenant present. The judge makes the final call. Later, your local sheriff ultimately evicts the tenant if you win your case. As always, don't try to force your tenant out on your own by changing locks or turning off utilities. Tenants have legal recourse to sue you if you take these actions.

By Dr. Abimbola Farinde, via Multibriefs
Drug abuse is regarded as a major health problem in the United States. Drug abuse and misuse lead to addiction, which can become a chronic disease if not immediately identified and steps are taken to achieve recovery.
Drug abuse is defined as the use of prescription drugs in a manner outside of its intended purpose or the use of illicit drugs with no medical benefit. Drug abuse and addiction have become synonymous with one another, and the problem impacts a wide variety of individuals. Regardless of one's background, the abuse of a prescription or illicit drug can impact any individual who has access to these drugs.
Prescribers along with other healthcare professionals can play a vital role in deterring drug abuse by prevention of overprescribing and ongoing education on the consequences of drug abuse.
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), the abuse of tobacco, alcohol and illicit drugs costs the U.S. about $700 billion annually with costs being related to crime, lost work productivity and healthcare. The misuse and abuse of illicit drugs, such as heroin and cocaine, is estimated to cost the American population about $181 billion per year.
Many states have begun tracking prescription dispensing, requiring ongoing physician education, and punishing doctors who prescribe recklessly. Prescription drug-monitoring programs (PDMPs) are recognized as effective tools to help reduce prescription drug abuse and diversion. PDMPs collect, monitor and analyze electronically transmitted prescribing and dispensing data submitted by pharmacies and dispensing practitioners.
While the intent of the drug-monitoring programs is to curtail patients who may seek out drugs from multiple prescribers, this can also be used to identify physicians whose prescribing habits are viewed to be inappropriate or unnecessary. The newfound expectations for rogue prescribers include having patients complete an opiate risk and pain assessment questionnaire and having discussions with patients about the benefits and risks of opioid abuse.
The result has been less prescribing of opioids. Unfortunately, this had left many patients with significant pain or those who were addicted to opioid analgesics without other legal alternatives.
These patients then turn to cheaper drug alternatives to achieve the same outcome they received from their prescription medications. Unable to obtain adequate pain control, they often turn to heroin, which can be far more affordable than opioids but with the same elevated potential for drug overdose.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), payers are presented with a financial incentive to reduce inappropriate drug prescribing, and this can ultimately have a significant impact in overdose prevention. As it currently stands, the best way to deter misuse of opioids and heroin is through ongoing education both for prescribers and patients.
The benefits of educating prescribers can include improved awareness of what they are prescribing and better identification of patients who can be predisposed to addiction based on their patterns of use. Once a patient reaches the point of addiction, it is recommended they undergo a comprehensive rehabilitation program that is developed to meet their specific needs.
Prescribers can obtain more information from their individual state's drug-monitoring program. While drug abuse continues to be a prevalent program, steps are being taken by the government and individual states to monitoring both the prescribing habits of providers as well as administration habits of patients.
Dr. Abimbola Farinde is a clinical pharmacist specialist in psychiatry and geriatrics who graduated from Texas Southern University. She has gained a wealth of knowledge and training with the completion of residency training programs and being in practice for more than five years. She is interested in sharing her knowledge with other professionals engaged in clinical practice in a variety of settings.

On the day of Friday 3 February it has not snowed.
The minimum temperatures have arrived to -4° C. It seems however that it is even colder because of the strong wind from the north. The bad weather has move toward the Adriatic, Lazio, and the South. Again, this time, we were lucky.
We have closed the works in the fields and we will begin again on Monday if the weather permits it and in the meatime, we will work in the cellar and in the office. If the temperatures do not go down, there will not be problems, for neither the olive trees or the vines. We wouldn't like to have another 1985 where 70% of the olive trees died because of the cold.
In the night of Friday, some millimeters of snow have fallen. Not much but the snow has created traffic problems on the morning of Saturday. Minimum temperatures between -5 and -6° C.
Sunday afternoon the thermometer had arrived at 0° C. thanks to a nice sunny day.
Today, Monday, the thermometer showed -6°: it has not snowed again and the day seemed to promise well inasmuch as the sky was clear and the sole should help to heat and make the temperatures rise again.
But seeing the weather forecasts, the inclement weather is not finished. In this week, it is foreseen yet cold because of the freezing winds from Siberia and perhaps more snow.
Seeing however that which has happened in Umbria, Lazio, and Abruzzo, we were actually very lucky.

Vacuums the most abused appliance in your home.
If you think about it your vacuum removes dirt from your floor surfaces, and keeps it inside until it gets emptied. The moving parts are exposed to dirt, and who really takes the time to maintain their vacuum. Most folks never think about maintenance until it breaks then it becomes a major issue. If you think I'm joking try not vacuuming a couple of weeks, and see if you miss your vacuum. The good news is when your vacuum fails it's often because you over filled it, and it clogged up. The other big reasons vacuums fail is because the belt that turns the agitator breaks. Where you buy your vacuum isn't a big deal until you have a problem with it.
Every retailer wants to sell you a new vacuum, but two years later if you have a problem will they still be excited to see you. Buying a vacuum from a big box store is a simple matter of finding where they're located in the store, proceed to aisle 36, read the labels, take it home, and put it together. If the vacuum fails down the road you call an 800 number where the phone is answered in a foreign country. The problem is the country where your vacuum is made will be different from where the call is picked up at. The same is true for vacuums purchased over the internet. Buying a vacuum from a door to door salesman will come with a hefty price tag. You can expect a great demonstration in your home but just remember this person is probably a total stranger you'll never see again after the purchase. They make their money selling vacuums, not service. Buying your vacuum from a specialty store like an independent appliance store, a vacuum store, or a local chain store usually means you will be important to the merchant long after the sale is consummated. You will be able to get bags, belts, filters, and service on your vacuum after your purchase. They will take the time to explain the features, and benefits of the vacuums they sell. They will also explain the difference between canister, and upright vacuums. Lastly they should take the time to ensure you get the vacuum best suited to your budget, and needs. You should expect you vacuum assembled at no charge because in reality some vacuums require an engineer to assemble. I've attached video's with more information on the types of vacuums, and their benefits.

Nowadays, many eateries have come to exist. These are absolutely nothing like the yesteryears eateries anymore. Even the most basic one should have all the things that will make people comfortable. Having a seating arrangement is definitely necessary. Nowadays the cafes are in trend. This is absolutely why almost every day one or two cafes are being launched. So what keeps so many of these cafes going? The youngsters! Yes, absolutely! The youngsters are responsible for the development of so many cafes. These people are growing in numbers and so are their aspiration. Starting from a college going kid to an office going employee, all are the cafes. These provide them with their solitary or fun time with friends. This is absolutely why the cafe furniture has to be planned with great care. People should understand that the age of wood is almost over in cafes. The cafes are following the smarter to use the furniture. The following are the two types of furniture that can work the best for a cafe: The Aluminum Furniture: Yes, absolutely this furniture is the best. These are extremely light-weighted. aluminum furniture can be shifted from one place to the other without much effort. This is absolutely why while cleaning the cafes, this furniture can be moved easily without any trouble to the staff. Also, these are not too heavy so an accident cannot be expected from these. Also, these are extremely affordable. So people can buy these easily without having to invest much. The Aluminium Restaurant Tables can be easily decorated with other materials, and people will never come to know that what these are made of. Also, these are easy to clean and maintain as well. The Stainless Steel Furniture: This is another material that works like a hot cake. People can actually try these if they want a tad bit if the weight in their furniture. They do not need to worry about the rust as these are made of stainless steel. This is apparently why they will last longer than what people can expect. These definitely are great in looks, and people can expect low prices for these as well. They are new in trend and thus keeps up with the younger generation. The Stainless Steel Restaurant Tables are also in fashion nowadays because of these reasons only. These two materials can prove to be extremely great for people in many ways as mentioned above. This is absolutely why people should try these.
Rublin Taneja is a young writer currently enjoying work at Metal Avenues. She writes articles on hotel, restaurant, banquet furniture and more. Check out links to find cafe furniture and stainless steel restaurant tables recommendations.

Nested between two large glaciers, Langjökull and Hofsjökull, is the hidden gem known as, Hveravellir Nature Reserve. Also known as The Hot Spring Fields, Hveravellir is a great way to immerse yourself in nature. Located in the central highlands, this geothermal area sits an impressive 650 meters above sea level.
Bathing in the hot pool, walking over a lava field and hiking the trails are all part of the experience when you visit Hveravellir.
Having both hot and cold water flowing to the pool is a great natural way that the temperature of the water is kept regulated. Due to the fast pace of the water flow means, that there is a constant supply of clean water. This relaxing pool is scientifically proven to hold medicinal properties, so what better way to relax and unwind.
It is worth spending a day visiting Hveravellir because there is so much to see and do. So clear your head, take a moment and take in the sights of this amazing natural thermal pool.
The history and use of Hveravellir
Previously named Reykir, Hveravellir was used as part of the greenhouse industry, utilizing the heat from geothermal energy. In 1970, it became a source of hot water for the town of Husavik. Later in the 1990s, the geothermal water was used for electrical production and now provides Husavik energy company with steam, electricity and heat.
The folklore behind Hveravellir
Icelandic history tells of a tale about an outlaw and his wife. It was said that a stranger called ´Kari´ moved to a farm in the north of Iceland and took on the role as a laborer. A widowed woman called Halla owned the farm and fell in love with this man. This made the local bailiff very jealous as he was set to marry her. It came to the attention of the bailiff that Kari, was, in fact, a fugitive named Eyvind and was living a fake life. Kari denied all knowledge of this person and to prove his sincerity, he was challenged to beat the bailiff in a wrestling challenge. He won.
Halla proposed to Kari and as the guilt consumed him, he was forced to confess his true identity as Eyvind. Knowing that the bailiff was coming to arrest him, the couple fled to the freezing central highlands and lived happily for many years. The couple gives birth to a baby girl and were kept company by a friend names Arnes.
Three years later it came as a shock when Arnes confessed his love for Halla. However, the feelings were not reciprocated, and with that, he decided to leave. When doing so, he was met by a group of men who were on the hunt for Eyvind. In a flurry, Arnes ran back to warn them but it was too late and a fight broke out. Halla panicked and threw her baby off of a cliff and into a river in the hope she would not be captured. Both Halla and Eyvind survived and fled to a small cabin where they became hysteric with hunger. One day Eyvind went in search for firewood and returned to find Halla frozen. He held her until eventually dying beside her.
This tale of runaway romance depicts a real-life version of Bonnie and Clyde meets Romeo and Juliet.
Where is Hveravellir located?
As mentioned before Hveravellir is situated between two large glaciers called Langjökull (meaning Long Glacier) and Hofsjökull (meaning Temple Glacier). It is also on the edge of an 8000-year-old Lava field named Kjalhraun. Being in the west highlands means that Hveravellir is some distance from Reykjavik and is about a 3 hour and 45-minutes drive. It can be found on the Kjolur route and is in the middle of Reykjavik city and Akureyri town.
How to get to Hveravellir
It is possible to get to Hveravellir by both bus and car, however, it is essential that you have access to a 4×4 when using the car route. From Reykjavik, Gullfoss is the place that you need to head towards. This is a great way to start your journey as this is one of Iceland's most famous waterfalls.

What to expect at Hveravellir
After encountering a rough terrain ride to Hveravellir, you'll find the polar opposite feeling when you are enjoying the serene landscapes that you are swallowed up in. One hot spring is named Öskurhóll, also known as the Roaring mound that grumbles deep within the ground. After understanding the story of Eyvind and Halla, you will feel much more appreciation for the hot spring Eyvindarhver. This was used by the outlaws to cook their food on in the years they lived happily here. The list of hot springs is extensive including Fagrihver, the lovely hot spring and Grænihver the green hot spring. Try to keep an eye out for them all!
Hiking around bubbling fumaroles and hot springs will leave you ready to dip into the geothermal pool and using it as a relaxing way to unwind. The temperatures vary between 18 and 39 degrees Celsius, depending on all types of weather aspects. The pool was created due to a dam being built in the 1950´s, and thank god that they did this so that we are able to enjoy the waters the glaciers have to offer.

Reliable low-cost telecardiology: High-sensitivity detection of ventricular beats using dictionaries
Chandra, B S and Challa, Subrahmanya Sastry and Jana, Soumya (2014) Reliable low-cost telecardiology: High-sensitivity detection of ventricular beats using dictionaries. In: 16th IEEE International Conference on e-Health Networking, Applications and Services, Healthcom 2014, 15-18 October, 2014, Natal; Brazil.Full text not available from this repository.

Can reliable telecardiology be achieved at low bandwidth cost? In response, we propose a detector at the user end so that only beats found to be anomalous are transmitted to a diagnostic center, where all received beats are correctly (re)classified. In this framework, high reliability is achieved by detectors with high sensitivity. Having laid the design framework, we then realize desired high-sensitivity detection using a dictionary learning approach. Specifically, using patient records from the-arrhythmia database, we detect ventricular ectopic beats (VEBs), which are known to be precursors to various serious arrhythmic conditions in the heart. In particular, we achieve a reliability of one undetected VEB in one thousand while saving 78.2% bandwidth using dictionaries with 240 atoms. With larger dictionaries with 420 atoms, we achieve an even higher bandwidth savings of 79.2% while allowing no (less than one in 1766) undetected VEB. Finally, we compare our results with performances a large set of reported heartbeat classifiers, and demonstrate the suitability of our approach in the context of telecardiology.

To the editor: In "Cholesterol Embolism: Diagnosis Antemortem by Bone Marrow Biopsy," in the December 1978 issue (1), Pierce and associates state that cholesterol emboli diagnosed by bone marrow biopsy have not been previously reported.
I have seen cholesterol emboli in histologic preparations of aspirated and biopsied marrow on several occasions and have reported it (2). A word of caution is in order. The finding of atheromatous emboli in the bone marrow does not necessarily mean that the patient is suffering from widespread manifestations of this process. It may be an incidental finding of minor clinical significance indicating that the

Eye floaters are one of the most common eye conditions that majority of the people will experience in their lives. While many people suffer from eye floaters, the degree of severity and the root cause may be very different. Eye Floaters that are formed naturally due to age are typically harmless and does not require surgical action. Instead, there are many eye floaters treatment methods not involving surgery that can be attempted to try and cure the condition. It is generally not recommend to seek surgical options to cure such floaters as the risks of complications associated with the surgical procedures are just too significant.
For the fortunate patients with harmless eye floaters, the best treatment method is simply to just ignore them. Believe it or not, but the frustration brought about by eye floaters is mainly psychological. By learning to stop thinking about the floaters, the brain will learn to ignore the floaters and the floaters will start to become unnoticeable eventually. Likewise if you keep thinking about the floaters, the more visible and abundant they will seem to be. While it may sounds unreal, learning to ignore your eye floaters is one of the best eye floaters treatments that had been proven to work in many patients.
However, for patients with eye floaters caused by eye injuries such as retinal tear or retinal detachment, surgery is usually the only viable way to treat the floaters. There are two surgical procedures known to treat eye floaters, the laser treatment using a Nd-YAG laser, or the Vitrectomy. Although both surgeries had its share of successful cases, but not all eye floaters patients meet the requirements to undergo the surgery. Eye floaters laser treatment has a set of very strict conditions that must be met to be eligible for the surgery. Some of the conditions include the state of the retina, the size and flexibility of the floaters and even the distance of the floaters to the retina and the lens. While it may be safer than the Vitrectomy, not all patients can enjoy its benefits if they do not meet the conditions required.
Vitrectomy is generally performed on patients with retinal detachment. While it is effective in removing eye floaters, vitrectomy is known to have many undesirable after-effects that highly increase the risks of the surgery. Some of the after-effects include cataract, retinal injuries and even blindness. Despite efforts being spent into improving the procedures for vitrectomy to reduce the possibility of complications, it is still far from being a foolproof procedure. As a result, it is usually not recommended as an effective procedure for eye floaters treatment.
