Nightstar Eco-Friendly Contour Changing Pad
" Got this as a baby shower gift. Great value, since prices ranged from average to expesive. Good quality product, nice and solid, like the built in belt. Not too happy about furniture attachment, kinda flimsy. Maybe needs heavy duty straps and screws? " --amadorev
Ju Ju Be Be Rich Wallet
" I bought this wallet after falling in love with my other ju-ju-be products. Now I have 2. They did not disappoint. They come in lots of cute print options and have so many card slots and places to put cash or coupons or receipts or whatever you may need to put in there. " --sugarpalmer
Happy Heiny's One Size Cloth Diapers
"My favorite one size diaper. It comes with 4 sizes instead of just 3 helping it last me the whole diapering experience. I am a velcro lover and this is one of the only brands whose velcro really can withstand the test of multiple children. " --SquirmyWorm

Happy Heiny's Pocket Diaper
" I always needed more than 2 inserts for this diaper and it was pretty bulky even for a pocket diaper. The fit was pretty good but I had a problem with them always leaking....I have twins so I got to see how they perform on both boy and girl skinny and chunky. They tend to fit skinny legs better. Overall I went with bumgenius and never looked back. " --Twinctnbottom
Ju Ju Be Changing Pad Bag
You asked for them. You begged. You pleaded. We listened! Changing pads available separately! The Ju Ju Be changing pads They are the same as Ju Ju Be's BeLight changing pads...same design (super light and easy to fold up) and same size (approx 21? x 12?).

Karas had asked if he could sentence Jones separately for her two guilty pleas and force her to serve the two prison terms one after the other.
Both sides responded that even if the two crimes were considered separately for sentencing purposes, a range of zero-to-six months would apply under federal sentencing guidelines.

Welcome disc golfer! You can login or create an account.
Questions? Call us: (785) 258-2494
Innova Yeti Pro Aviar is a putt and approach disc that is a straight to slightly overstable. It is a soft big bead model with a lower profile. What makes the Yeti unique from the other Aviars is its concave top which reduces the tendency for putts to glide out if they catch a wind. It also allows for a lower profile and a straighter flight than other big bead aviars. The Yeti is a firm, grippy blend of Pro plastic that feels great in your hand in cold or hot weather. It's somewhere between DX and R-Pro in both grip and firmness. For beginners, the Yeti will go straight and finish with some fade. For skilled players, the Yeti will fly straight and land straight. For power players, it will turn over slightly and glide. Adding a little hyzer angle on the release will give a longer straight flight for power players. Introduced in 02/11 and endorsed by Jay Reading, 2008 World Putting Champion. 21.2 cm diameter
It is made from the Aviar "big bead" mold which means it has a bead at the bottom of the rim. Some Aviar models are made from the Aviar 'small bead' mold and have no bead on the rim.
Speed 2, Glide 3, Turn 0, Fade 1
Don't let the flat, dented top fool you. This disc is stable & the plastic feels great. I use it for short drives and hyzer shots." - Alan Beaver
Other big bead Aviars:
|JK Pro Aviar-x
|151-175 grams
|KC Pro Aviar
|Yeti Pro Aviar
|Straight-Slightly Overstable
|Star Aviar Driver
|GStar Aviar Driver
Aviar Comparisons:
"Small Bead" Aviars include the DX, Classic, Glow, R-Pro, Champion, and Star Aviars. This means they have no bead on the bottom of the inside rim.
"Big Bead" Aviars include the JK Pro, KC Pro, Yeti Pro, and Star Aviar Driver. This means they have a bead on the bottom of the rim.
If you looking for a disc that has
more Fade, try the Rhyno
more Turn, try the XD
more Glide, try the Aero
Other Speed 2 discs include the Rhyno, Classic Aviar, JK Aviar, KC Aviar, Aviar Driver and Aviar P&A.

Dr. Ziller to speak on Rural Implementation and Impact of Medicaid Expansions
The impact of the ACA Medicaid expansion on health care coverage and access in rural areas is largely unknown and will depend on the different state policy contexts in which the expansions are implemented and on existing system capacity. Understanding how many rural residents are likely to become newly eligible for Medicaid under the ACA, as well as their characteristics and health status, will provide important information to aid policymakers in structuring outreach and enrollment strategies and ensuring that the healthcare infrastructure and delivery systems in rural areas can address the needs of these individuals.
On March 18th, Dr. Ziller, Deputy Director of the Maine Rural Health Research Center at the University of Southern Maine, will present via a SHARE webinar, nationally representative information identifying rural-urban differences among low-income non-elderly adults (18 to 65) in the following areas:
- Medicaid eligibility, pre-ACA
- Medicaid participation, pre-ACA
- New Medicaid eligibility in 2014
Dr. Ziller will also analyze the characteristics associated with any rural-urban differences in the above areas. Characteristics to be considered include age, gender, employment, education, income, Census region, health status, current relationship to primary care provider, primary care supply, and FQHC availability.

Aminodrol uses well-documented anabolic/anti-catabolic agents in a formulation unlike many pre and post workout products. One of the key ingredients that make this a standout formula is Sharp-PSTM, a high purity Phosphatidylserine brand, developed and produced by Enzymotec under the highest quality and safety standards, which has shown (via clinical study) a remarkable ability to limit the production of cortisol, a hormone produced in response to exercise induced stress that breaks down muscle tissue.
The rest of the ingredients are a highly researched list including uniquely patented L-CarnipureTM, the purest L-Carnitine in the industry, to help maximize testosterone use, BCAAs for their well-known muscle growth support, beta alanine to enhance performance and the recovery facilitators and cell volumizers glutamine and taurine.

A Tosa resident since 1991, Christine walks the dog, cooks but avoids housework, writes and reads, and enjoys the company of friends and strangers. Her job takes her around the state, learning about people's health. A Quaker (no, they don't wear blue hats or sell oatmeal or motor oil), she has been known to stand on both sides of the political and philosophic fence at the same time, which is very uncomfortable when you think about it. She writes about pretty much whatever stops in to visit her busy mind at the moment. One reader described her as "incredibly opinionated but not judgmental." That sounds like a good thing to strive for!
Shelter from the storm (or libraries save lives)
I now know why straight-line winds are called "hurricanes of the prairie." Only unlike hurricanes, they can arrive without warning, as this one did.
The Governor, jobs, and the Neo-Nazis
It was hard to tell some of the good guys from some of the bad guys in West Allis, Wisconsin, Saturday.
So many young men, both white and black, costume themselves to look dangerous, put on fierce faces, and swagger to make themselves appear larger than life. And I'm not talking about the SWAT teams, though they also fit the description.
One of the things I love about this city is that it's a mature, fully built community. With the exception of the County Grounds, whose fate is always precarious, you know pretty much what you are going to get when you buy a home here.
Big trees and human-sized houses with dependable characteristics are the norm, with few scraped landscapes or startling oddities that builders introduced during the mortgage/bubble-housing/boom—disproportionate windows, bizarre angles, bathrooms bigger than living rooms, and design elements that don't reflect anything structural. We should have known something was wrong with the whole mess just by the way its products looked.
One degree of separation from Henrietta Lacks
I don't have a clue how many degrees of separation I have from Kevin Bacon. But I'm only one degree removed from Ms. Henrietta Lacks of Clover, Virginia.
Lacks was an African American woman who died in 1951 and whose cells continue to play a vital role in cancer and other cell research. The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot tells a riveting story about the human beings connected with scientific research.
And since we are all in the boat together, it shouldn't be too surprising when distant stories connect with our own.
I discovered my first 2-degree separation on page 27. Johns Hopkins cervical cancer expert Richard "Uncle Dick" TeLinde, MD, ordered the biopsy that started the cell line and the story line. He was also mentor to young medical turk Richard Mattingly, MD, who moved to Wisconsin to head up the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW-then Marquette Medical School) Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. A whole posse of Hopkins docs came along to create a powerhouse in cervical cancer treatment and detection methods (and later, infertility treatment). Mattingly hired me for one of my first editing jobs after college, working on a new edition of TeLinde and Mattingly's Operative Gynecology.
The second Wauwatosa/MCW connection showed up on page 49. Dr. Roland Pattillo is a Johns Hopkins fellowship grad who had worked with the Lacks cells (also called HeLa) and then with other reproductive tract cell lines at MCW before moving them to the Morehouse School of Medicine. I knew him slightly, but enough to claim him as my one degree of separation from Henrietta Lacks.
A black man himself, Pattillo was one of the apparently few in the medical community who understood the ethical problems associated with scientists using the cell lines for personal benefit, even if that benefit was prestige in advancing science rather than money. (Of course, there were many who made money from Lacks' cells, with no benefit to her decendants.) He now chairs an annual HeLa Women's Health Conference on ethnicity and disease at Morehouse.
Lacks' cells are still being used. I imagine researchers from the Hopkins/MCW group and their proteges are still using them. And in my small way, I'm still trying to help tell the stories of the people behind the cell cultures, behind the data.
When you know how close we all really are, it's hard to be only objective. And that's a good thing. Without a subject, where's the story? Without the story, where's the meaning?

A Thank You Letter
01/08/2011 § 8 Comments
*Update — Nicole has been a leading force behind this blog since it was a wee GDoc. We all look forward to your future in the profession, Nicole, and thank you for all the wonderful, though-provoking pieces you wrote for us [<--- Click to read them all!]. LibHackers never say die.
Your friends, The Hack Library School Editors*
Dear Hack Library School,
If you can believe it, about a year ago I was actually considering not completing my MLIS degree. I had had a kind of rough second semester and was unsure if the profession and the degree were really right for me. However, due to my stubbornness and financial commitment, I decided to see it through and make sure that I did everything I could to get the most out of my second and final year. Then in the Fall of 2010, I read Micah's post about his idea for Hack Library School. And I knew this was someone and something that I wanted to know more about. Through the magic of Twitter, I soon got in touch with Micah and the rest of the original HLS crew (Britt, Julia, Lauren, and Heidi) and by the beginning of 2011, this idea of Micah's was really getting off the ground.
As excited as I was to be a part of this incredible project, I was crazy nervous as well. I've always felt like I was more of a numbers gal vs a writer and the idea that people may actually read what I wrote made me pretty anxious. Until I started graduate school, I had really avoided any type of writing beyond emails and client reports in my previous job. And even after a year back in school, I was still completely shy about my writing. But I was willing to give this blog thing a shot, especially because I had found blogging to be a great way to informally write about my transition of going back to school.
And wow, am I ever glad that I took that leap of faith. The wonderful feedback and comments I've received on my posts have had such a positive impact on my writing and my commitment to the profession. Being a part of this project and working with all of these wonderful people (the original crew plus the amazing folk that have joined since – Annie, Zack, Rebecca, Turner) is what got me through the rest of my program. It is what continued, and continues, to keep me excited about librarianship. And it is what keeps me engaged and informed and learning about ALL different aspects of library school and librarianship. Big Tent!! I truly believe that current and future library school students have what it takes to "hack" the program and even the profession.
The last couple months have been ones of transition again for me. I've been in a full-time librarian role since September 2010 and have really enjoyed the work. But I am still striving to figure out what is the role I'm really looking for and what kind of work I really want to be doing. And as my memories of library school are already fading into the distance, I am not going to be writing on a regular basis for Hack Library School anymore. I am, though, very excited to continue to stay on in some aspect as a Community Manager of sorts for the blog and to connect with both students and info professionals through Twitter, Facebook, Google+, and beyond.
So thank you for letting me be a part of this.
Yours truly
§ 8 Responses to A Thank You Letter
Nicole, I have subscribed to HLS for a while now, and I get a lot of good ideas and inspiration out of it. I had a similar experience in library school in my second semester, but I got through it. I have been a full-time librarian since Nov. of 2009. I like what I do, but will always be pursing better opportunities, particularly to be around other librarians, as I am a solo librarian. I feel there still is a bright future for the profession; the more gadgets and information, the more people will truly need our help and instruction on access and good scholarship – something that all areas of education need in the future!
I hope to follow this blog for a long time because there are so many interesting things that are discussed here.
best to you!
Finally got to read this post — not going to lie, I teared up a little. You're amazing, Nicole, and you are such an inspiration to work with! Wherever you end up in this profession, you're going to own it.

April 5, 2011 Judicial Ballot Picks: David Prosser & Lloyd Carter
Tuesday, April 5th's election has risen in scope from being a typical sleepy non-partisan spring election to one gaining national attention. For the first time ever, I had an email from a person in California asking about where he could donate to help Judge David Prosser. (See links below.) And it is no wonder, for this election will mark a turning point in our state.
Depending on the outcome, Wisconsin's Supreme Court will remain dominated by 4 judges who believe in the rule of law or change over to become dominated by 4 activist judges, those who believe you can legislate from the bench. Judge David Prosser IS the swing vote.
The choice is between fair-minded, pro-life Justice David Prosser and Greeniac, Green Party backing, DNR Attorney Joanne Kloppenberg for this very important, 10 year term, position on the highest court of our state.
Joanne Kloppenberg has NO JUDICIAL experience and in fact has been turned down 3 times for state and federal judgeships by Gov. Jim Doyle and President Obama. For comparison, Kloppenberg is to the far left of liberal former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Louis Butler who Doyle appointed to the Wisconsin Supreme Court in 2004 and Obama nominated for Federal Judge in the United States District Court in 2009. (Butler, perceived as too liberal, was rejected by the U.S. Senate.)
Take a look at Judge David Prosser's Endorsement page, and you will see former Wisconsin Republican GovernorTommy Thompson listed there as Campaign Chair* and numerous Wisconsin State Representatives and Senators. Even The Journal Sentinel Editorial stated We Back Prosser in the primary. The Sun Prarie Star is endorsing Prosser on April 5th.
Tough on Crime Prosser also has Law Enforcement and experience on his side, having been "involved in more than 900 published decisions on the Supreme Court" alone and "authored at least 45 criminal case opinions", whereas Kloppenberg has only handled 51 overall cases ever in appellate and supreme courts, with only 7 being criminal cases, rightly acknowledges, "I never said I was tough on crime".
Between her statement that she would serve as a "check and balance on overreaching by the other branches of government" [the executive and state legislature] and her husband's public support of collective bargaining rights for public employees, it is difficult to believe she has or will remain "independent" on the collective bargaining bill.
If you wish to help David Prosser's campaign, you may donate to Citizens for Impartial Justice, Wisconsin Club for Growth to help them put ads on the airwaves, or volunteer at your local Republican Headquarters branch. The GOP is looking for people to man the phone banks, help put together yard signs, etc. In Waukesha, 1701 Pearl St., they are open M-Sat 9am-9pm, Sun. Noon - 8pm.
Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge
As for our more local race for Waukesha Country Circuit Court Judge, Branch 4, my vote is going for Lloyd Carter, as I stated in Lloyd Carter for Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge. Check out his page of endorsements and supporters.

How about a little Love & Respect?
Doesn't everyone want a little love and respect?
The Apostle Paul in the Bible tells husbands to love their wives and wives to respect their husbands in Ephesians 5:33. Two short little commands that are often difficult to carry out.
And because husbands and wives often stumble in these 2 areas, Elmbrook Church is holding a Love and Respect Marriage Conference with Dr. Emerson Eggerichs, the author of the book Love & Respect, this Friday, April 8, from 6:45pm - 10pm and Saturday, from 8:45am - 1:30pm. The cost is $45 per person.
If you are thinking this is one of those marriage conferences aimed at what men do wrong, think again. I have heard good things about both the conference and the book from my own pastor and from a girlfriend who attends Elmbrook. She told me that Dr. Eggerichs recently spoke at their church and was very funny. He uses many humorous examples to illustrate his points and is pretty even handed when it comes to helping each of the sexes see where they could improve how they relate to their other half.
Elmbrook Church is located at 777 S. Barker Road in Brookfield, WI, south of Blumound Road, north of Greenfield Ave.
Encouraged to hear he "already voted for Kormanik"
I passed out a few fliers for Nancy Kormanik to Brookfield residents at church today. They were all well received.
But as I approached a couple from Elm Grove, I did wonder how they would react to Nancy's candidacy--after all, closing schools is definitely on the table. The wife set my mind at ease when she looked at the flier and said, Oh, my husband already voted [absentee] for this Kormanik. He read about her in the paper and thought she was the best choice. I am going to vote for her on Tuesday. We think we should close some of our schools.
So they had come to that conclusion entirely on their own.
Another person I correspond with via email from time to time originally said they were voting for Wilson because they didn't think a write-in would win. Yesterday, they emailed again to tell me they changed their minds...they were voting for Kormanik.
I spoke with a few neighbors; they reacted very positively too. One man said he was going to take a few fliers to the gym to share with his buddies.
That is how grassroots efforts work, so I am encouraged.
Make a few calls. Send out some emails. Print a few fliers to give out. Talk to your friends and neighbors, and be sure to VOTE on Tuesday!

If voter turnout is like blog traffic, Prosser will win & Ballot Picks
See sample ballot below: Prosser, Carter, Write-In Kormanik & Brunner
Election results will start pouring in less than 24 hours from now. The big question is, will Justice David Prosser win? or will the union backed Kloppenberg prevail? That question is burning in the psyche of people with a political bent on both sides of the isle.
In uneasy conversations with fellow Conservatives regarding Prosser's chances, I have said that if Wisconsin sees the same level of citizen involvement as Tosa City Hall did the night they were going to vote on a union contract, Prosser will win. (For those outside the metropolitan area, in mid March, over 100 concerned residents came to "lobby city officials to put off approving union contracts" until after the state passed their budget repair bill. There were also "hundreds of calls and e-mails". I don't believe there was much lead time for this meeting, which makes the large number of attendees even more impressive. The counsel listened to their constituents and voted no.)
However, if people have a relapse of their all too common malady, attention-span-of-a-gnat-itis, and sit out this election, we conservatives are in trouble.
But in checking my blog page load/unique visitor numbers today, I noticed my numbers were very high. In fact, I was at an all time hit count high since I started blogging in 2004! That tells me people are looking.
When I checked the popular pages chart, I saw they were looking at my posts on David Prosser, Lloyd Carter, and Elmbrook School Board: Nancy Kormanik and Richard Brunner. That tells tells me interest is high. And if interest translates to voters, Conservatives will be happy.
Elmbrook voters, check out Fairly Conservative. Cindy shares her email correspondence with candidate Kathryn Wilson, in which Kathryn states she is going to vote YES on 4K. There are also some insights on Cindy's ballot picks Nancy Kormanik and Richard Brunner. (Scroll about half way down the page.)
No doubt, I will get my usual calls tomorrow morning from people asking who to vote for, so I am including all the links to Nancy Kormanik's articles and posts below just to make it easy for those of you who haven't quite decided yet.
Don't take a chance and sit this one out--be sure to VOTE!
Too close for my liking, a nail biter extraordinaire
As I sat at my computer at nearly 1am, the results were still not conclusive on Prosser/Kloppenberg, with 98% reporting and Prosser ahead by a slim 1,878 votes.
But one thing is conclusive... I just received an email about assembling a team of experienced election observers and lawyers to monitor the recount, as required by law with such a slim margin.
When I awoke this morning, 99% reporting, Prosser's lead was down to 585, with several precincts in heavy Democrat territory still not in on the AP page. (Only Taylor is Republican.)
This is really torture! I am going back to bed.
Brookfield not counted in Prosser totals, a recording error extraordinaire
I am too busy to blog right now but too excited not to share the news (in case you live under a rock and haven't heard).
Here it is: The City of Brookfield's vote totals were not included in the Waukesha County vote total Tuesday night!
It was a clerical error, not a case of thousands of "found" ballots that were not counted on election day. No, these ballots were counted in Brookfield Tuesday night. That total, however, was not included in Waukesha County's grand total.
Ryan Morgan, blog contributor for Fairly Conservative and a man who clearly has a head for numbers, wrote Prosser lost the election in Waukesha county last night. Sensing something was amiss with Waukesha County's vote totals, he commented this morning, "Well, I have a theory that I want to be true… we really turned out okay and there are missing votes somewhere waiting to be discovered. "
In comment 22 of that post, Ryan gets specific after comparing other city's populations to votes cast to Waukesha's totals: "I could very well end up with egg on my face, but given we've already seen that AP can be inaccurate, I am starting to EXPECT that we will soon discover that there are 10,000 to 16,000 more ballots in Waukesha county than what AP has reported." (My emphasis)
And the exact number was 14,315. 10,859 for Prosser and 3,456 for Kloppenberg, netting Prosser a 7,582 gain. (Cindy linked Brookfield's election results in comment 26 on that same posting, so you can see for yourself.)
Now I know I already said this at the beginning, but I am going to repeat it again: THESE ARE NOT NEW BALLOTS THAT WERE NOT COUNTED TUESDAY NIGHT FOUND IN A BROOM CLOSET.
This was a clerical error of Brookfield's totals not being included in Waukesha County's tally. The Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus says she entered our numbers and hit save, but it obviously didn't save. (I can understand this happening. I have been working on an Excel spreadsheet for a personal project for several months now, know I have saved things, only to find them missing later.) Nickolaus' error was that she hadn't double checked the figures with a paper copy Tuesday night.
Nickolaus said she spotted the omission when she was uploading the data into the statewide canvass yesterday (Wednesday). When she opened it, she saw Brookfield's totals as being 0s. They then corrected the error.
She assured the public that there was a Democrat and Republican from the Board of Canvass present for all this. Ramona Kitzinger, the Democrat member of the Canvassing Board, who stood behind Nickolaus during the press conference, then spoke before the press and said, "we went over everything and the numbers jibed up ...we're satisfied they're correct". Watch for yourself.
In response to the suggestion that this type error might have gone unnoticed, Kathy Nickkolaus said they would have caught this as soon as they started the canvass because they take the tape from the polling place and check one by one with the returns.
Other errors were caught from other cities and counties, which is why they check the election results after every election, and why they caution that the results given on Tuesday night are not final. Which makes Kloppenberg's victory speech on an unverified sliver of a win, based on AP totals, all the more ridiculous.
All in all, a pretty amazing error extraordinaire.
P.S. We are not out of the woods just yet; Kloppenberg will no doubt request a recount. But it always good to start 7,000-some ahead. (Remember Minnesota's Franken/Coleman recount: One monster of a Senate race?)
"The Importance of Worldview" & literal 6 day creation, Tuesday, April 19th
A blessed Good Friday & Easter to you
Though the word Easter and even some non-religious Easter Bunny themed events have come under attack by the P.C. crowd this year, Good Friday through Easter or Resurrection Sunday still mark the most important 3 days of the year for a Christian. It is during this time that we remember the crucifixion, sacrificial death, and burial of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and then celebrate His resurrection on Sunday.
Most Christians tend to make a big deal of His birthday, Christmas, and also His resurrection, Easter. These 2 days tend to be the more heavily attended church days of the year.
Not exactly a fairytale royal wedding
One can hardly turn on the news without hearing some buzz about the royal wedding between Prince William and Kate. I even witnessed a young mother today, shopping with her toddler, for an expensive hat and shawl to wear to her friend's royal wedding party on Friday.
The royal wedding is being referred to as a fairytale wedding, as in young woman meets handsome prince, marries, and lives happily ever after. But since this young couple has been living together for some time now, I just find it a sad reflection on today's mores.

- Health Notes
Multivitamins May Protect Men Against CancerMultivitamins May Protect Men Against CancerMen taking the multivitamin were diagnosed with 8% fewer cancers overallMany Westerners are concerned that they may not be getting all the nutrients they need everyday for optimal health, which has made multivitamins a popular choice for many people. Study results on multivitamins often conflict, with some showing benefits, and others finding either no benefit or even potential harm. Now, much-anticipated results from a large, randomized, controlled trial of multivitamins have been released, and this one falls on the side of benefit, showing a modest but significant decrease in cancer occurrence for men who take a basic, daily multivitamin.
The ideal study population
Researchers randomly selected 14,641 male physicians to receive a daily multivitamin-mineral supplement or placebo for approximately 11 years. The physicians were 50 years or older, and 9% had a previous history of cancer. Other factors, including age, height and weight, tobacco and alcohol use, diet, other medications, and family history of cancer were similar in the supplement and placebo groups.
The multivitamin provided around 100% of the daily value for most essential vitamins and minerals, with a few exceptions. It contained no iron, and for vitamins E and B12, the multivitamin provided significantly more than 100% of the daily value. For vitamin K, biotin, calcium, magnesium, and chromium, it provided significantly less than 100%. The supplement contained some additional nutrients, including lutein and lycopene.
Moderate multivitamin, less total cancer
Men taking the multivitamin were diagnosed with 8% fewer cancers overall than men in the placebo group.
There were no significant differences between the supplement and placebo groups in terms of specific cancer types, such as prostate and colorectal cancers. There were no significant differences in the risk of death due to cancer between the two groups.
Finding balance
The study multivitamin was similar to "common," moderate-dose products available in any supermarket or pharmacy. Given that past studies have suggested multivitamins may increase cancer risk, these findings are reassuring. However, according to lead study author Dr. J. Michael Gaziano, "It would be a big mistake for people to go out and take a multivitamin instead of quitting smoking or doing other things that we have a higher suspicion play a bigger role, like eating a good diet and getting exercise."
Keep this in mind as you consider our tips on creating your own cancer risk reduction plan:
- Be modest. Steer clear of mega-doses, and follow the American Cancer Society's advice: eat a balanced diet, and if you take a supplement, choose a balanced multivitamin that contains no more than 100% of the daily value of most nutrients.
- Seek the experts. A person's diet may get out of balance for a variety of reasons, such as illness, nutrient depletion or malabsorption caused by a drug, medical condition, food intolerance, or allergy. If this describes you, discuss your diet with your doctor or dietitian to identify specific nutrients that may be missing.
- Consider context. The study population was healthy, older males, most of whom don't smoke, and many of whom eat a balanced diet and exercise regularly. If you smoke, are obese, or have additional risk factors for cancer, heart disease, or other chronic disease, these findings may not apply to you.
- Get bang for your buck. Regardless of whether you take a multivitamin, you can never go wrong by adopting basic cancer prevention strategies: avoid tobacco, drink alcohol modestly or not at all, move regularly, eat plenty of vegetables and fruit, use sunscreen consistently, and maintain a healthy body weight.

Comments about GNC Ultra Mega® Green Vegetarian:
I take this product every day with breakfast. After the first week of using it, I started to feel healthier. My joints didn't hurt as bad, I woke up feeling refreshed, and my immune system couldn't be better. I also use it as a supplement for my workout routine. The digestive enzymes has definitely helped with quick digestion of my whey protein. Just read the nutrition facts and you will also realize how beneficial this product is for everybody, not just vegetarians. Would recommend to anybody and everybody. It IS worth the money, but it would be nice if it was a tad cheaper ;).

Comments about GNC Ultra Mega® Green Vegetarian:
I have been a loyal customer for GNC for the quality of their products. I came in looking for a good vitamin for vegetarians. The packets are easy to use. A lot of people complain about the taste and size of pills, which dont bother me. People just get a pill crusher and put it in a drink or some soft food. Problem solved. I've only been using this for 2 days so I can't testify to the effects of the program but the ingredients seem to have everything I don't take in. A little expensive but can you put a price on good health? I am willing to do so if the product is effective. I've seen reviews where people have complained about the product for whatever reasons. Remember not everything is for everyone. Some vitamins and medications have different effects on some people just like food so don't discourage everyone from taking this product, try it if you don't like it return it. I also take Total Lean Shakes in addition to the vitamins right now to lose a few lbs but will probably use in the future for an on-the-go meal replacement or just to drink something healthy. Will update later to testify to the vitamins.

Whiplash, also called neck sprain or strain, affects approximately 120,000 people a year in the US. It is generally caused when a person is involved in a rear-end vehicle collision. Whiplash occurs when the neck and head are thrown forward, then back, when the collision occurs. Although many do not experience them right away, symptoms such as neck stiffness, headache, and dizziness often form over the course of the following days.
Luckily, whiplash symptoms rarely require surgery and go away on their own with some rest and care. If you have experienced whiplash, we do have a range of products that can help you recover. Products include neck pillows, cold compresses, back rests, and many more.

Karjakin wins Rapid World Championship as Carlsen stumbles on last day (VIDEO)
Sergey Karjakin won the FIDE World Rapid Championship in Astana, Kazakhstan on Sunday. The Moscovite finished on 11.5/15, a point more than Magnus Carlsen, who lost to Vassily Ivanchuk and Alexander Grischuk on the last day. Veselin Topalov finished in third place. The Bulgarian edged out Shakhriyar Mamedyarov on tiebreak.

The third and final day of the Rapid World Championship in Astana was one full of drama. Vassily Ivanchuk forgot about his clock in a position he couldn't lose, against Sergey Karjakin, who went on to score 4.5/5 and finish on a superb 11.5/15. Although he had a tougher schedule, it was still surprising to see Magnus Carlsen, who had played so strongly the first two days, stumble at the end. He lost to both Ivanchuk and Alexander Grischuk, and finished second behind Karjakin, who can now call himself the Steinitz of rapid chess! (When we mentioned this nickname to him, the Russian had a good laugh, and then said: "Do mention that in your report!" You're welcome, Sergey!)
Here's our video report:
In the 11th round everything was still going according to plan for Carlsen, who won easily against tail-ender Anuar Ismagambetov.
In the same round, Karjakin was quite lucky. He had been defending a worse position for a while already, when his opponent, the unpredictable Chuky, playing black, forgot about his clock. (Despite the 10-second increment, he was in fact not the only player to lose on time in this event.)
In this position Ivanchuk's flag fell...
Ivanchuk can't believe that his flag has fallen; a fortunate moment for Karjakin
The Ukrainian didn't leave the playing hall but kept on walking up and down between the boards, shaking his head. Not fully calmed down yet at the start of the next round, Ivanchuk then continued to help Karjakin by inflicting the very first loss upon Carlsen!
As Karjakin would later tell us (see the video), he thought: "OK, this is my chance". He won an excellent game against Radjabov.
Sergey Karjakin: 4.5/5 on the last day
Meanwhile, Topalov had to give up his chances to finish first. In fact the Bulgarian, who was two pawns up in a knight ending against Tkachiev, managed to lose this game!
Carlsen then lost again, in a Berlin Wall against Grischuk.
Carlsen resigns his game against Grischuk
In the penultimate round Karjakin, who was now leading by half a point, won yet again. For Peter Svidler the tournament lasted a bit too long; he lost the last two rounds.
Carlsen got a slight advantage against Radjabov, but eventually he couldn't break the Azerbaijani's defence. This meant that Karjakin only needed a draw in the last round against Igor Kurnosov to win the first official Rapid World Championship. And that's what happened.
The arbiter congratulates Karjakin with his victory
If Karjakin had lost and Carlsen won, the two would have played an Armageddon game to decide upon the tournament. However, due to Karjakin's draw the Topalov-Carlsen game was not relevant for first place anymore. Carlsen was in fact lost at some point, but drew the game and finished second, a point behind Karjakin.
Despite missing the mate, the Bulgarian still finished third. He edged out Shakhriyar Mamedyarov on the first tiebreak rule, which was the individual result.
Karjakin won US $40,000, Carlsen US $33,000 and Topalov and Mamedyarov both got US $25,000. There were money prizes for all players; see the regulations (PDF) for more details.
On Monday the players continue with the first 15 rounds of the World Blitz Championship (games of 3 minutes plus 2 seconds increment). The last 15 rounds will be played on Tuesday. The field will almost be the same, with Magnus Carlsen, Teimour Radjabov, Sergey Karjakin, Alexander Morozevich, Vassily Ivanchuk, Alexander Grischuk, Veselin Topalov, Peter Svidler, Boris Gelfand, Viktor Bologan and Shakhriyar Mamedyarov participating in both events. Dmitry Andreikin, Le Quang Liem, Nikolai Chadaev, Pavel Kotsur and Rinat Jumabayev will join them.
Games day 3
World Rapid Championship 2012 | Final standings
Congrats Karjakin, what a come back ! and to be honest, it was a bit outrageous the way Carlsen threw his pieces at Topalov's face as soon as Karjakin made his draw !!! Not very classy
you mean metaphorically threw his pieces or he actually threw them at topalov? is it in the video?
well, watch the end of the game ! his time went down as he didnt want to play, and h4 is more than a big blunder, especially when you eat the knight with pawn just after ... Topalov took with the queen instead of putting his rook at the OBVIOUS winning place etc etc
I followed the game, and Carlsen was smiling and chatting with Topalov as soon as it was over, so it was all quite amicable feelings both during and after the game, if anyone would think otherwise.
As soon as Karjakin made his draw, Carlsen stopped playing for three minutes, then OVER BLUNDERED ! It's obvious that Topalov refused to win the match ... So yes it's all friendly after all but Carlsen have behaved on the board like a gentleman
He didn't behave like a gentleman because he blundered and thought for a long while on a move and then shook hands and chatted with the opponent?
no, he let the time run and THEN and only THEN he blundered, that makes a hell of a difference !!!
So it would have been more gentlemanly not to think before moving?

you don't say "you eat the knoght" you should say "you take the knight"...you eat pasta...you eat an apple....
I found Carlsen's behavior at the end of his game against Radjabov (in the penultimate round) more questionable: Radjabov had to call the arbiter to claim a draw, in the meantime three more redundant move pairs were played. Quite reminiscent of the end of a drawn game between Topalov and Kramnik in Wijk aan Zee some years ago - though in Carlsen's case it must have been general frustration rather than personal animosity.
1 year 9 months ago
Your supposed to call the arbiter to claim a draw by repetition.
I cannot replay the live video (apparently only the last round is still available) but I wonder what happened in other games that reached a dead-drawn position: maybe players nodded at each other before one of them called the arbiter? In Carlsen-Radjabov, the commentators got the impression that Carlsen wanted to play on with two bishops against one bishop, and my own impression was that Carlsen eventually offered his hand to Radjabov reluctantly and grudgingly (at least there was a handshake).
It also reminded me a bit of an example from my own practice: long time ago an IM tried to flag me in a dead-drawn opposite-colored bishop endgame with 20 vs. 5 minutes on the clocks. I repeatedly asked him to stop that nonsense - first politely, then less politely - and then called an arbiter. Even at that stage, he considered it perfectly normal to play on until flagfall, and was rather disappointed when the arbiter declared the game drawn. I would say that a semi-professional(?) should show some respect towards a patzer, and the world #1 should respect the world #4 (or even one of the Kazakh Elo tailenders).
Not such a big deal - Carlsen was understandably disappointed - but more questionable or awkward than whatever happened in the next and final round against Topalov.
That is normal. When Carsen lost (with white!!) to Alexandra Kosteniuk in the world blitz championship, he refused to shake hands with her. See it, the video is in youtube. If he did that to such nice a girl like Kosteniuk, why should he bahave "classy" against Topalov??
By the way, Topalov showed great class. He got 0/3 from Tkachiev, Carlsen and Murtas when it could have been 2,5 and still he managed to smile after all these games. It must have cost him at least 5000 dollars but I am sure he has gained a lot of new fans. The contrast with Carlsen in the video couldn't be greater.

"That is normal. When Carsen lost (with white!!) to Alexandra Kosteniuk in the world blitz championship, he refused to shake hands with her."
What's normal there? Acting like an immature little brat?

Carlsen blew it, haha. So much for my prediction...
Well, congrats to Karjakin then, 10 wins in 15 games, impressive. :0
1 year 9 months ago
wow congrats Karjakin, cant wait to hear the conspiracy theories of the fanboys lol
Great performance by Karjakin, Carlsen's 2850+ and +6 wasn't enough this time but Karjakin was just better. Nice to see Topalov play great chess again and finish third. Top players like Ivanchuk, Radjabov and Svidler failed to get a plus score and that shows how tough these events are.
Nice to see Karjakin step up and win again, deservedly. He is definitely a super strong player, and with a likeable character. Let's hope he can narrow the gap in classical chess as well and challenge Carlsen for an interesting future duel at the very top.
Well, Karjakin finished eight in Wijk. It's early to say that Karjakin is equal with Carlsen in classical chess just because he did better in one rapid event. Still 58 points between the two in classical but that could soon be less.
that's not a very strong argument ( although i agree that Carlsen is ahead in classical games ) since Karjakin won Corus in 2009 while Carlsen finished 6/7
The argument is that Karjakin finishing ahead of Carlsen in a tournament once, 3.5 years ago (the only event in five years where Carlsen wasn't top three, by the way), doesn't mean that he is Carlsen's equal in classical, just like Nakamura isn't Carlsen's equal with just because he finished ahead in Wijk 2011.
Karjakin had finished shared first with Carlsen in Bazna - so they were already equal in classical chess at one occasion, even if a lot has been made of the fact that Carlsen had a 0.25 points Sonneborn-Berger advantage.
My overall summary of the tournament: Two players dominated, even if Carlsen almost had to settle for bronze in the end ("Carlsen was lucky against Topalov" seems far more plausible than any conspiracy theories). Day one was for both of them (but Karjakin already faced stronger opponents). Day two was for Carlsen. Day three was for Karjakin. Both players briefly "stumbled", losing two games in a row - but for some reason only in Carlsen's case it's prominently mentioned in the Chessvibes headline.
"Karjakin had finished shared first with Carlsen in Bazna - so they were already equal in classical chess at one occasion, even if a lot has been made of the fact that Carlsen had a 0.25 points Sonneborn-Berger advantage."
No one cares much about tiebreaks except the group of regulars that were unhappy about Chessvibes calling Carlsen the winner of the event after he had won it (on tiebreak). Anyway, the idea that two players are equal because they at some occasion had the same result is strange. Players can't be evaluated by cherry picking single results. I don't think Kamsky is better than Karjakin just because he finished ahead of him in the classical event they played this year (Wijk), I think the rating list is a better measure than picking some event that had a result that fits better with my preferences.
"Carlsen was lucky against Topalov"
Yes, but I don't think he cared much about second or shared second or third on tiebreak. Such things happen in rapid, by the way. Ivanchuk lost on time against Karjakin in a position only he could win unless he had forgotten about the clock. One can't speak of luck too often in chess.
You started by cherry-picking (or rotten apple picking?) Wijk this year, which was Karjakin's worst round-robin result of the last two years - BTW it wasn't even _that_ bad, he lost just three rating points. The point I am trying to make: if Karjakin realizes his full potential, he might be on par with Carlsen or just slightly behind (finishing half a point behind Magnus as in Tal Memorial 2011 may be a 'typical' result). But Karjakin isn't as consistent, and this (combined with the fact that he was farther behind Carlsen at some stage) causes the gap in the rating list. On average, Karjakin is at least on par with Nakamura who gets much more attention, invitations and praise.
On Topalov-Carlsen: maybe Carlsen really didn't care much (only first place counts for him, and that was already gone?); still it would have been an anticlimactic finish to "lose" the silver medal. The possible difference in prize money, about 3000$, might matter even less for Carlsen - he probably gets such sums or more for an hour of fashion modelling or a TV appearance!?
Karjakin is already on par with the best of the best for 2 years. No need to worry about consistency no more.
Well he lost five games in Wijk so he sure isn't anywhere near as consistent as Carlsen
Ok Carlsen is more consistent and Karjakin is world champion.
Winner of an event named "world championship" sounds more correct. Too many contenders and previously qualified players missing here to justify the name.
I'm sure you will say the same when someone else wins the blitz tournament ;)
Someone else but whom? It is of course a very strong tournamnent, no doubt. And the money is of course great for a rapid or blitz event. Still, in any other major sports this kind of setup wouldn't be considered a real world championship with the current title holder and several other real contenders missing. No way.
The organizers invited the entire top10, what more could they do? It's not their fault that several players declined, it's not their fault either that Astana is a rather remote location (which may have played a role).
BTW who is/was the current rapid title holder before the event? Aronian won the last Mainz event, also called (by the organizers) Grenke Leasing Rapid World Championship. But that event - while strong and interesting - always and by design had several real contenders missing, though it had one (1) qualifying spot from the open the year before.
The real rapid world championship was Amber, compare the level of an event like this:
with the "World Championship":
This wasn't much to take seriously as a World Championship either, without Anand, Kramnik and Aronian, who all participated in the above linked Amber event.
Nakamura is busy writing his book but other players possibly don't take rapid and blitz serious enough to travel this far to an separate event. Travel expenses can't be the problem as regulations stipulate good compensation.
By the way, I defenitely agree with Aronian and before that a case can be made for Karjakin winning the 2010 rapid world cup.
