Current Research
I conduct research on the biology and community ecology of native, warmwater fishes and crayfishes at various spatial and temporal scales. Research is directed toward understanding mechanisms contributing to the structure of aquatic communities, quantifying the effects of disturbance on aquatic systems, and improving knowledge about the taxonomy, distribution, and life history of crayfishes. Much of my current work focuses on how press (e.g., stream warming, dams, land use changes) and pulse (e.g., major storms) disturbances influence communities. I am also involved in long-term research on sculpin distributions and their changes with stream warming in streams of western Montana.

Research Highlights
- Global Conservation Status of Freshwater Crayfish (2015)
- The southeastern U.S. is a major hotspot of freshwater crayfish diversity, says a new global assessment of crayfish conservation status. The report also finds that a fifth of North American crayfish species (and almost a third of the world's species) are threatened with extinction. The study found that in the U.S., only two percent of threatened species occur in protected areas, which further highlights the imperiled status of freshwater species in the U.S.

Maryland Governor O'Malley Urges Investment in Cybersecurity Education
Governor Martin O'Malley addressed several hundred educators, IT experts, and others at the National Institute
of Standards and Technology (NIST) yesterday as part of a workshop hosted by
the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE), a national campaign
coordinated by NIST.
Calling cybersecurity an "urgent priority," O'Malley emphasized the need for government and the private sector to work together to "invest in the skills of our people" and create new jobs in the cyber field. In part, he said job creation will depend on "how quickly we move good ideas from labs to the commercial sector."
O'Malley described a state-wide cybersecurity initiative begun three years ago that includes partnerships with Maryland-based federal labs such as NIST and the National Security Agency, enhanced technology transfer efforts, and expansion of the cybersecurity career pipeline. He also discussed several programs that the state of Maryland has implemented in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), education at the college level and in career and technical education at the high school level to improve education in cybersecurity.
He noted that "a modern economy requires modern investment," and "the single most important investment is the investment in public education."

Hi all! While we're on our little siesta, we thought we'd share a few of our older posts that some of you may not have seen or may have forgotten. I also thought it would be a good time to share with our new subscribers and readers what we're all about here at Eat, Play, Love. Basically, our journey started out as a way to teach Mr. N and Miss A (our kiddos) about various cultures and traditions around the world while opening all of us up to new foods and cooking techniques. It's always a whole family affair. We take turns picking a country our U.S. state and then we find traditional or popular local recipes to try. Often times the kids will be involved in the cooking which gives us a chance to share some facts about the particular country or culture, and have some fun along the way.
We don't claim to be experts either in culture or in cooking, but we do put forth our best efforts to make the recipes authentic and to review them honestly. You can read more about our spoon rating system here. You'll notice as we go along that Miss A's spoon ratings tend to be the most subjective ranging from 0 to 514 at times. We really don't mind as long as she's giving the different foods a chance, which is something both kids have been amazing at doing. From time to time, we'll also share special occasion recipes, travel adventures and random recipes we just happen to love, but the majority of what you'll see here is all about cooking around the world.
So here's an old post from back in May 2011, shortly after we started the blog. This recipe just happens to be one of our favorites and has been made more than once. Enjoy! Continue reading

Patrick to discuss opioid response with New England governors
BOSTON — The six New England governors will convene next week to map out a regional response to the growing problem around opioid drug abuse, Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick said Tuesday.
The June 17 meeting at Brandeis University in Waltham will include discussion of how law enforcement can work together to stem the flow of illegal drugs across state lines, along with coordinated approaches to treatment in the region.
The announcement came as an opioid abuse task force set up by Patrick released its final report with a series of recommendations, such as an expansion of community-based treatment and recovery programs, including those tailored to teenagers and young adults.
Patrick said a regional solution was important in part to remove geographical roadblocks to addiction treatment, noting that it might be easier for some people who live near state liens to seek treatment across the border.
"So how do we create a system that makes it more fluid to move across state lines if that is what is most convenient to get the service that is best for you?" Patrick asked
The governor declared a public health emergency in March in response to a sharp rise in overdoses and deaths from heroin and other opiates.
The task force report also recommended that the state's Health Policy Commission conduct a review of insurance coverage for opioid addiction. Patrick said he was concerned by reports that some private insurance carriers were placing barriers in the way of treatment.
"I'm done with that. That has to be fixed," he said. "The insurers have to come to the table. We need a solution which has everybody contributing to help people get better."
The task force recommendations were announced at a Boston high school that's one of four in Massachusetts that work with students recovering from substance abuse problems. The state hopes to open a fifth in Worcester.
The panel, in its May draft recommendations, called for spending about $10 million to help recovering addicts transition from detoxification centers to residential treatment programs and from prison back into the community, among other things.

What do Bill Nelson, Claire McCaskill, Bob Kerrey, Tim Kaine, Heidi Heitkamp, and Shelley Barkley have in common? To start with, they are all Democrats running for the Senate this year. But that's not all. Each disagrees with President Obama's proposal to raise taxes on people who make more than $250,000, preferring a higher limit. Nelson, McCaskill, Heitkamp, and Barkley favor $1 million; Kaine favors $500,000; and Kerrey hasn't provided a number.
These politicians also have in common that they are running in tough races. And each, presumably, has concluded that the voters in their states don't favor Obama's proposal to start raising taxes at incomes of more than $250,000.
Now look at the states these candidates are running (scared) in. Three of them — Florida (Nelson), Virginia (Kaine) and Nevada (Berkley) — are among the small number of states that are rated toss-ups in the presidential race, and are considered key to winning the presidency. A fourth state — Missouri (McCaskill) — leans Republican, I think, but is traditionally a bellwether state. Only two of the six states — North Dakota (Heitkamp) and Nebraska (Kerrey) — are true Red States.
What does this mean? Unless Nelson, McCaskill, Kaine, and Barkley don't know their states, it means that Team Obama's decision to to raise taxes for people making more than $250,000 is likely to hurt Obama in states, and among voters, that he needs to win.

He carries around a big camera & likes to write about tech, startups, parties, and interesting people. Follow him on Twitter, on Facebook, and Google+.
Facebook is set to take a big hit in its leadership team as it's being reported that Joanna Shields, the social network's leader in managing business in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, is leaving the company. She will be taking a new and challenging roll working in the United Kingdom leading a brand new organization called the Tech City Investment Organization.
If you haven't heard about Tech City, then you'll be interested to know that it's Prime Minister David Cameron's government project to spur innovation and create Britain's own Silicon Valley. As the Telegraph reports, Shields will lead the charge to build this community and help bring more foreign investment into the country's "Valley", that being Shoreditch, a place that has seen investments from Google, Intel, Yammer, General Assembly, and Cisco.
As the former president of Bebo, she helped architect the $850 million acquisition deal with AOL in 2008. Previously, she was a co-founder with Elisabeth Murdoch in a digital marketing venue before joining the social network. In her capacity at Facebook, Shields helped lead the charge of the company's international expansion.
Tech City isn't a new thing. In fact, it was started in 2011 as a result of a speech given by Prime Minister Cameron and its goal is to create a second Silicon Valley, proving that great tech and startups need not be in the San Francisco Bay Area. Other notable mentions include Silicon Beach in Los Angeles, Silicon Alley in New York City, Silicon Prairie in the mid-west, and many others.
Shields told the Telegraph that her passion has always been in public policy and she has always had a desire to help the government. With over 3,000 companies based in the UK, there's an incredible opportunity to help consolidate and unite them to gather more attention from investors, businesses, and more startups.

Celebrating work no matter what it is
ROCKFORD - For many, entry-level work is something to be endured instead of enjoyed.
For Rockford's 43-year-old Keith Phillips, his position as a line server at Old Country Buffet is something to be celebrated.
Phillips spent nearly eight months of 2012 out of work, cutting grass, raking leaves and then shoveling snow to get by.
Married in 2011, Phillips and his wife, Anita, who works at a doctor's office, were forced to choose between buying gasoline for their one working vehicle or paying for Internet service so Keith could spend more focused time searching for work.
They chose the Internet - and it paid off.
"When Old Country Buffet called and offered me a job I was just so grateful," said Phillips, who was aided in his job search by Rock River Training Corp. "It's allowing me to help put food on our table and buy Christmas presents."
When economists look back on 2013 the consensus will be that it wasn't the greatest year in the not-so-great-recovery from the Great Recession.
In the Rockford area, the unemployment rate at the end of October was still 10.5 percent for Boone and Winnebago counties while the state rate was 8.3 percent. In fact, the jobless rate here has been 10 percent or higher in 57 of the 59 months since November 2008.
If you are one of those who remain outside the employment world looking in then the economic recovery probably doesn't feel like a recovery at all.
Phillips has a message for those and that's to just keep trying.
"I was up for six, seven jobs and I didn't get any and it would have been easy to give up," Phillips said. "I just kept going, doing what I could to make money some way."
"There were some people who'd say I was a grown man and I shouldn't be cutting lawns," Phillips said. "But a man has to do what he can for his family and these people blessed me by giving me work to do when I needed it."
Phillips says he still visits one of his former customers, an elderly woman, regularly to help her maintain her house.
Phillips and his family have more reasons to be grateful. Six weeks ago Anita had a baby girl, Nyharia, to go along with son, Wesley, 13, and Keinetta, 10.
"I'm not going to stand still," said Phillips, who was hired nearly 11 months ago. "I'm entry level now, but I can become the general manager. I want to eventually get my associate's and my bachelor's degree. It's up to me."
Michelle Louthain, kitchen manager for Old Country Buffet, said his enthusiasm is no act. He's as cheerful at work as he is being interviewed.
"He has this motto. I ask how he's doing and he'll say 'it's good and if it isn't whose fault is it?' I'll say 'yours' and he'll say 'that's right,' Louthain said. "Keith definitely is a hard worker. And if becoming (general manager) is his goal he could work his way up to it."

We are part of nature. We are here to bloom like a flower- to ornate the earth with beauty, love, joy, happiness, and care.
― Debasish Mridha
Our modern design ethic values simplicity. We see beauty in clean lines and limited adornment. But not too long ago, architectural designs were more elaborate, ornate. A mark of true craftsmanship.
An architectural giant with a signature ornamental style is Louis Sullivan, named the "father of skyscrapers." On a recent architectural tour of 33 South State Street in Chicago, I was struck by the extravagance and beauty of his work–even down to the smallest detail. Have you ever seen a newel post with such an ornate finial?
Another distinctive feature of the Carson, Piri, Scott department store, completed in 1904, are the large windows, ideal for illuminating the merchandise on sale. As you can see in the photo below, Sullivan's external window "treatments" are no less elaborate. This shot was taken looking up the facade of the building. In the window, you can see the reflection of the building across the street. The orange glow in the corner is from a neon sign across the street.
(Here's a bit of literary gossip: Louis Sullivan was rumored to be the real-life inspiration for Ayn Rand's main character, the architect Henry Cameron in her classic novel The Fountainhead. Cameron's assistant, Howard Rourke, was also modeled after Frank Lloyd Wright, who was Sullivan's protegé.)
Clearly, these are not the grandiose architectural wonders one would liken to European cathedrals or ornate movie palaces. But they are in many ways just as reflective of our region's unique and diverse architectural history.–Ken Bernstein
Another example of an architectural ornate style is Grant's Tomb in New York City. The ceiling is spectacular.
It is the largest mausoleum in North America, and was funded by private citizens to honor Ulysses S. Grant, who ended the bloodiest war in United States history. Designed by John Hemenway Duncan, the interior of the tomb is modeled after the the sarcophagus of Napoleon Bonaparte at Les Invalides in Paris. The building was completed in 1897.
Today, like most of us, I am surrounded by the clean straight lines of modern architecture. But I still value and appreciate the labor and craftsmanship of distant eras. Perhaps the architecture seems elaborate, excessive, and too labor-intensive to us, but it shows a commitment and dedication to an ethic and style that was extraordinary.

And have a great week, everyone!

Washington and the video game industry have spent the past month reaching out to one another in the wake of the Newtown shootings. Vice President Joe Biden met with a number of figures from the video game industry this month, and now Senate Bill 134, the Violent Content Research Act of 2013, is gaining support in the United States Senate from both Republicans and Democrats. Key figures in the video game industry are showing equal enthusiasm for the effort to pay closer attention to violent content. Disney CEO Bob Iger swore his company would keep an eye on its own video games' violent content.
"Fortunately at Disney there's very little [violent content], but I still want to make sure we're asking ourselves the right questions in terms of that standard," Iger told attendees at an HRTS Newsmakers Luncheon with Brian Grazer, " [I want to ensure] we're willing to be a part of a dialogue in today's world that I think is pretty necessary in terms of what our role is and what our role should be."
He also said that Disney would "take stock in everything we've got that can considered near the line or over the line."
Iger's statement that Disney doesn't have much violent content in its stable isn't quite true, depending on your perspective. Disney's core brands, from Pixar films like The Incredibles to movies like Pirates of the Caribbean, are incredibly violent as are the works of its subsidiaries Marvel and Lucasfilm. The majority of parents may consider The Avengers and Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith to be films that are appropriate for young children, but it doesn't change the fact that these are movies that have graphic depictions of murder.
It is vitally important that people take stock of our entertainment industry. We do live in a culture that glorifies violence at every turn, whether it's our worship of our own military, the preponderance of gun-centric television, movies, and video games, or even just our predilection for football. Disney's willingness to cast on eye on itself is respectable, even if its objectivity is questionable. People need to ever be on guard against censorship and restriction, though.

Did you know the Palm Pre Plus is a phone for ladies? Specifically, for moms? Well, it is, you sissy! If you were a real man, you'd buy a Droid! That's a phone for men!
Actually, that's far from the truth. Both phones are pretty damned gender neutral, unless you're the type of person who believes only men appreciate hard lines and ladies are drawn to curves. And apparently that's what Verizon believes, based on their advertising.
I mean, just look at these new Verizon Pre ads! Why are they showcasing this as a phone for moms? It's a quite capable phone that people of all genders and ages would enjoy. But I guess if they made the ads for the Droid so explodey and masculine they thought they had to make up for it with these.
Hey Verizon: they're both good phones. Feel free to just advertise them as such. [Engadget]

UFC officials announced the winners and bonus amounts following the event, which took place Saturday at Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre in Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia, and was attended by MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). The card aired on Friday morning in North America due to the time difference.
The event's main card aired on FX following prelims on FUEL TV.
Alloway had to pick up two TKO wins to score his "Knockout of the Night" bonus. The first over opponent Manuel Rodriguez was an errant call after referee Steve Perceval didn't see an Alloway low blow and waved off the fight. However, after consulting with UFC officials (who were acting as the commission without a third-party organization present), the fight carried on, and Alloway delivered a more spectacular finish with a front kick to the chin and a few follow-up punches on the floor.
Donovan and Penner fought in the evening's first preliminary bout, which streamed on Facebook. Despite lasting less than five minutes, the action-packed affair when back-and-forth throughout. Penner scored an early knockdown, setting the tone for the fight. But each time he looked to move in for a finish, Donovan threatened with dangerous submission attempts. After two such series, it was Donovan who turned the tables with an overhand left that sent penner crashing to the floor. Donovan followed up for the TKO win, but both fighters earned a "Fight of the Night" bonus check for their efforts.

Slump deepens for video game sector, survey says
US videogame sales extended their decline in February with a 25 percent monthly drop compared with a year ago, according to an industry tracker.
NPD Group said Thursday that total sales of hardware, software and accessories were $810 million in February, down from $1.09 billion 12 months earlier.
Videogame hardware sales were down a whopping 36 percent despite the launch late last year of the new version of Nintendo's Wii console and PS Vita from Sony. NPD said Microsoft's Xbox 360 was the top-selling device for the 19th consecutive month.
But analyst Liam Callahan said much of that decline is being offset by games in other formats, including digital subscriptions and mobile gaming apps.
"These sales figures represent new physical retail sales of hardware, software and accessories, which account for roughly 50 percent of the total consumer spend on games," he said.
Adding in digital format sales, subscriptions, mobile apps and social network games, he said total consumer spending on the sector in February would be around $1.2 billion.
The top selling game in the month was Dead Space 3, a third-person shooter game available on the Xbox, Playstation and PC.

I don't know about y'all, but I've been pounded into silence by the torrent of news, goverment shutdown, Brexit, tsunami. It is enough to turn me into a cat picture person.
However, I felt like I needed to post an end of the year post, so there was this story, about an unlikely friendship that some of you may have seen
which is also an NPR podcast that I caught later, which has recordings of the quoted telephone conversations that make the story even better
(I love Charles Barkley's North Alabama pronunciation of 'bothering' and the twists of the English of Lin Wang's father (My dad held on to his Hawaiian pidgin till the end, so strong that every girlfriend I ever had was baffled by it on first encounter.))
An overly microscopic view below the fold.
This story hit so many of my buttons. Basketball! Famous player!! Asian-American dad! (which in itself is funny, cause lumping all asians together gets you to the point of confusing Xi Jinping and Narendra Modi cause "they all look alike")
A little deeper, it also gets at that possibly universal frustration kids have with their dads not being cool and later discovering they actually were, a thought that has been coming up a lot with me concerning my daughters. A first take was to think 'gee, I wish I were friends with someone famous so my kids might write something like this about me...'
But even deeper, Wang notes that "Barkley knew so much about me and my life — even though this was the first time he and I had ever talked." My dad was pretty laconic, but when I've gone back and met people my mother knew that I didn't, I inevitably get the 'oh, your mother told me so much about you'. I realized that this is something I gave up by moving to the other side of the world, chance encounters with people my parents knew. It is still possible, as the story shows us, but it becomes much more miraculous when it does happen. My own daughter might get a dose of that when she comes back for her coming of age day ceremony and perhaps runs into people who know her thru me. And, if she shares my character, will probably wonder why it is I have so much time to tell people about her.
But the final thing was something that Charles Barkley says at the end of his conversation with Lin Wang, which is that "Your dad prepared you to take care of yourself. He prepared you for that." It's a lovely thought and one that I thought I would end the year on. Hoping everyone's 2019 is, if not great, a little less bad than this year.

A Woman's Portrait 1938
The painting conveys her exquisite taste:
ear studs, bracelets, green and yellow selendang;
the sash conceals her pregnancy.
The death she is carrying can't be disguised.
The life she carries will grasp and cling on.
Yearning, restlessness and the turmoil of fear
are not recorded in the brush-strokes,
pencil outline of a face
surrendering to the flow of history.
The painting, with its final brilliant gesture,
only fully reveals this face
when it is framed by memory.
July 1989

Marx and Nietzsche on Socialism and Envy
Follow-up to my earlier blog: "Research Shows Socialism Is About Envy":
(many thanks to my friends M and E for this)
First a quote from Karl Marx himself. I found it in extended length at the blog called "The Sentinel":
Marx, in his much neglected Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts warned against […] what he termed "crude communism". Crude communism "appears in a double form; the domination of material property looms so large that it aims to destroy everything which is incapable of being possessed by everyone as private property. It wishes to eliminate talent, etc., by force . . . The role of worker is not abolished but extended to all men. The relation of private property remains the relation of the community to the world of things . . . This communism, which negates the personality of man in every sphere is . . . Universal envy setting itself up as a power, is only camouflaged form of cupidity which re-establishes itself and satisfies itself in a different way. The thoughts of every individual private property are at least directed against any wealthier private property, in the form of envy and the desire to reduce everything to a common level; so that this envy and levelling in fact constitute the essence of competition. Crude communism is only the culmination of such envy and levelling-down on the basis of a preconceived minimum. How little this abolishing of private property represents a genuine appropriation is shown by the abstract negation of the whole world of culture and civilisation, and the regression to the unnatural simplicity of the poor and wantless individual who has not only not surpassed private property but has not even attained to it. The community is only a community of work and of equality of wages paid out by the communal capital, by the community as universal capitalists. The two sides of the relation are raised to a supposed universality; labour as a condition in which everyone is placed, and capital as the acknowledged universality and power of the community."
Marx was likely talking about Babeuf, but the idea of flattening everybody down to the lowest common poverty has come back into fashion (usually dressed up as "antiglobalization" or "environmentalism").
And now unto Friedrich Nietzsche, in The Anti-Christ (section #57):
Whom do I hate most among the rabble of today? The socialist rabble, the chandala apostles, who undermine the instinct, the pleasure, the worker's sense of satisfaction with his small existence–who make him envious, who teach him revenge. The source of wrong is never unequal rights but the claim of "equal" rights.
Nietzsche was of course talking about Christians too, but that I'll leave to another blog…

Montreal tests perfect against New York
Montreal, QC – The Montreal Impact will put their unblemished record on the line Saturday when they host Red Bull New York at the Olympic Stadium.
Montreal, one of three unbeaten teams remaining this season, is the only club to manage maximum points from its first three matches of the campaign.
It is a far cry from the form that saw the Impact open the 2012 season with an 0-4-1 record through their first five games.
Part of that is down to the change culture brought about by new head coach Marco Schallibaum, who has instilled a winning mentality in his team. Even with the Impact grabbing a 2-1 win over Toronto FC last time out, defender Hassoun Camara was left disappointed.
"We all felt a little disappointed coming into the locker room," Camara said. "We've got three points, and defending well is a virtue, but I think we could have done a lot better in the second half.
"We should have kept playing and not concentrated on defending. Yet I feel that it's positive that we do have a lot to work on and that we're first with nine points. Maybe we would have lost that game, last year."
New York has been on the opposite end of the spectrum. The Red Bulls, still searching for their first win, have managed just two points from their opening three contests of the season.
Last weekend's draw with D.C. United was a step in the right direction for the club. Even though the match finished scoreless, New York dominated from beginning to end but failed to find the back of the net.
The chances that New York fails to produce a goal north of the border this weekend have increased with the news that Thierry Henry will miss the match due to a mild MCL sprain.
"Thierry's someone who always wants to play," head coach Mike Petke said on Tuesday. "It was one of those things that I was very seriously leaning towards not even bringing him to Montreal.
"This is a little setback with Thierry and his knee, but it shouldn't be too serious."

The New York Mets are 13.5 games out of first in the NL East, and potential owner David Einhorn has gone the traditional route and quit on the club. It is, as usual, a bad time to be a sad Mets fan. With that in mind, we look back at the saddest of the sad Mets fans: Seth Fleischauer, the self-proclaimed "Face of Mets Failure." Originally published Sept. 28, 2009.
Type "mets fan" into Google Images and you get a good cross-section of Mets Nation, everything from the disappointed to the dejected. A prime example: that downtrodden, scruffy-looking twentysomething with his hands held hopelessly atop his rally cap.
That man is me.
My name is Seth Fleischauer, and I am The Face of Mets Failure.
The date was Sept. 30, 2007, and Los Mets had just broken the Major League record for Piece of Shit. The next day, my face was everywhere -– the cover of the Daily News, USA Today's sports section, AOL's homepage, and so on. SNY interviewed me, a nameless blogger made it his personal mission to shame me, and even Regis Philbin exclaimed on his morning show, "It's that guy again … Who is this guy?!?"
Now every time the Mets fall on their collective face, someone, somewhere, uses my image. My favorite instance came on this very site when I was listed on a Mets injury report, right after Keith Hernandez and Mr. Met.
The attention has been an ego rush, sure, but the experience itself has taught me what it means to be a Mets fan. Being indelibly linked with their failure has made me appreciate the agony of it all. I get it now — we're not the Yankees, and we never will be. We fail in new and more interesting ways all the time, and if there's a pop fly to be dropped in the bottom of the ninth with two men on, we will find the man to do it. Part of the fun is embracing how utterly unfortunate we can be. Failing this fantastically can do nothing but make future victories all the sweeter.
Seth Fleischauer is an elementary school teacher who left New York in summer 2009 for the comfortable vapidity of Los Angeles. His blog, with stories about teaching in New York, LA and Taiwan, is adventuresinteacherland.wordpress.com.

Research conducted recently showed that mammography – a analysis device that utilizes x-rays to recognize breast cancer in ladies – is extremely incorrect. Only 1 to 10 from 100 'positive' mammography exams are truly good, meaning that there exists a 90 to 99 % chance of a lady getting clinically determined to have cancers of the breast who doesn't already have it. As these tests will not be taken just once inside a life time, the likelihood of being a sufferer of bogus prognosis for breast cancer are very great.
In Excellent Britain, about 100,000 women annually receive a untrue prognosis for cancer of the breast (not excluding other forms of diagnoses). The ladies experience a lot of needless biopsies plus an unknown number of mastectomies (breast amputations). A lot of the ladies experience unnecessarily from depressive disorders, desperation, and concern with passing away because of the diagnosis. In america, mastectomies have skyrocketed since mammography grew to be the most famous 'preventive' way of identifying cancer of the breast.
The healthcare business is quite nervous that the real truth about the mammogram technological innovation is finally starting out area. All things considered, this is a massive moneymaker. Peter Gotzsche, M.D. – a specialist at the Nordic Cochrane Centre in Denmark – and his awesome employees recently published a peer-reviewed examine that discovered main mistake using the final results of a big test that noted a 31 pct decline in cancers of the breast mortality as a result of mammogram evaluating. After carefully looking at the information, Dr. Gotzsche's crew found that a huge number of cancers of the breast fatalities inside the unique info had 'somehow' been remaining out of your ultimate statement. The Gotzsche examine was originally posted very last in a on-line release of your European Journal of Cancers (EJC). 3 weeks later, the investigation vanished off their internet site. Apparently, EJC publishers taken away his review since they obtained complaints from pro-mammogram doctors.
To advise mammography to become a analytical device for sensing pre-symptomatic steps of malignancy is deceitful and doubtful. Generally of cancer of the breast, it really is irrelevant whether breast cancers is found with an very early or delayed stage. It is actually rather the sort of many forms of cancer and if it is likely to metastasize ('spread to', which in reality means 'develop in' other areas of the body as well) at an very early stage, that decides the end result in the condition. As opposed to typical notion, early recognition has not yet proven to lower death costs for these sorts of cancer. Also by having many mammograms executed, a woman may put herself vulnerable to developing the disease mammography should really protect against, or become worse it should it be already provide. Mammograms certainly aren't the 'magic bullet' for cancer of the breast reduction that everyone generally seems to feel they are. For one thing, mammograms are of very restricted performance since they seem only in order to find cancers of the dimensions that is large enough to indicate an extremely sophisticated period of cancer.
What exactly is most disturbing relating to this analysis method is the unnecessary compression of the bust that is needed throughout a routine mammogram. To make great photos and to avert being sued for missing out on a tumor, the tech squeezes the breasts more tough. Squeezing can break inner tissues, which includes tumor tissues. When there is a tumor within the breast, conducting a mammogram can certainly break apart cancerous mobile masses, spillage the dangerous poisons they consist of and cause the disease to develop in other internal organs. New information reveals that little cancers are especially prone to these kinds of potentially fatal damage.
Forcible flattening of a bust during the mammogram should not be regarded a suitable threat, especially when the exam is really inadequate anyways. A big system of studies suggest that mammograms might be only marginally more effective (if in any way) than actual tests in detecting breast cancer. So why make use of a strategy that will worsen a disease needlessly? Mammography is a significant-league moneymaker for medical facilities, physicians and many forms of cancer clinics nationwide. The unsuspecting ladies believe that the testing lowers their chance of dying from breast cancer by 50-75 percent! In truth, based on research performed from the U.S. Preventive Services Project Force, it could be required to monitor over 1,200 ladies aged 40-74 each year for 14 several years to avoid even one dying from breast cancer.
Fortunately for women, the enormous boost in law suits due to neglected tumors is contributing to an escalating reluctance among doctors and clinics that once presented mammography to keep accomplishing this.
A 1997 statement with the American Federal Many forms of cancer Institutestated that mammograms revealed no death benefit unless ladies in their 40s ended up being followed for ten years. Other studies have shown that women who have mammograms suffer about the same rates of passing away as a result of cancers of the breast as ladies who do not possess mammograms. Even though over 90 % of the irregularities discovered by mammography have already been harmless (not cancerous), 63 pct of You.S. females in their 40s keep having a mammogram every a few years. This positions a fantastic danger on healthier women who would like to stop establishing cancer of the breast in the future. Given the powerful cancers-inducing effects of mammograms, there is little if any reward having a yearly mammogram.
Protection against breast cancers is not going to start with developing a mammogram it commences with taking active duty for one's mind and body. It could be stated that most organic foods use a many forms of cancer precautionary outcome, and also this includes food items. Leaving comments on the recently introduced review on preventing cancer, John Pezzuto, innovator of the meals research team with the University of Illinois in Chicago, U.S.A, said, "…the investigation does reveal that an eating plan full of vegatables and fruits is a great safeguard against cancer." Reports have identified a compound in grapes known as resveratol that will keep tissues from turning cancerous and inhibits the distribute of tissues which are dangerous already. Most other natural food items consist of very similar or even more effective malignancy-preventing elements.
Females don't should count on mammography to feel safeguarded against cancers of the breast, specially since it is highly difficult to rely on like a diagnostic instrument. A series of liver, renal and intestines cleanses are usually enough in order to avoid, quit and regress almost any cancer.

text: Back Essential Foot Care Years of wear and tear can be hard on your feet, as can shoes that don't fit properly. Injuries and disorders of the feet can affect your mobility. Here are ideas from the American Podiatric Medical Association on how to take good care of your feet: Inspect your feet regularly. Look for any changes in color, discoloring, or thickening of the nails, or peeling or scaling on the soles. See your health care provider if you have any of these symptoms. Shop wisely for shoes. If you play tennis, for example, buy tennis shoes, not running shoes. Tennis shoes accommodate more side-to-side foot action, and running shoes are designed for forward motion. Shoes should always be a half-inch longer than your longest toe. Replace them as soon as they start to wear out; shoes lose support and shock-absorption capability over time. Avoid walking barefoot to reduce your risk for injury or infection. When you wear sandals outdoors, be sure to apply sun block to your feet. Wash your feet regularly. Pat them dry between the toes, where remaining moisture can contribute to fungus infection or athlete's foot. Alternate shoes each day. Give shoes a day or so to dry out before wearing them again, and regularly dust the insides with anti-fungal powder. Be cautious with over-the-counter remedies for foot ailments, such as corns or warts. Many of these contain acids that potentially could be harmful, especially for people with vascular problems or diabetes. Some remedies can cause burns or infections when used improperly. See your podiatrist for an evaluation of painful heels, bunions, hammertoes, or other serious foot problems. Whatever treatment you may need, it's almost always better to receive it early. Even a simple foot problem can lead to knee, hip, or low back problems, as the body compensates over time with a limp or other changes to the gait. Realize that foot pain isn't normal. Even sore feet after a long day of standing may signal the need for a pair of better-fitting, more-supportive shoes.

When Mom has trouble sleeping, she puts one of her favorite movies in the DVD player and snuggles on the sofa. Usually in about 10 minutes, she's asleep and dreaming about chasing rabbits and . . . oh, wait, that's what WE dream about. What the heck do peeps dream about??? Oh, well, nevermind. Anyway, she sleeps through the WHOLE rest of the movie and then WAKES up when it's over. So NOW, she's awake again and has to restart the movie to fall asleep AGAIN. This goes on pretty much all night until the wee hours of the morning. Then about 3:00 or 4:00, she gets in the bed and sleeps some more. We just can't understand this routine and we gotta say it kinda interrupts our OWN sleep. NOT to mention that the sofa is supposed to be all OURS when the peeps go to bed, right? But does she care about that?! Noooooo . . . So, we're just wondering ~ Does anybody else's peeps have weird sleeping habits or is it just ours???
A couple of notes: We're having some super slow-as-molasses innernuts AND some issues with STICKY KEYS. Sometimes we start typing a comment on your blogs and all of a sudden it looks like this ~
ha's oo unny! Be you on' ha aain.
So, if we happen to type "Your pees are so funny!" - we really mean "Your PEEPS are so funny!" It's happened a few times and we think we caught it every time, but in case we didn't, please accept our humble apologies.
Also, we're really concerned about our furiend Pip! Please send him the Power of the Paw so he gets better. Love you PIP!

David Dallas – Take A Picture (video)Posted in Artists, Music Videos on August 31st, 2011 by Hyphen
Here are the newest visuals from the homey David Dallas, all the way from New Zealand to NYC. I really like the vibe of this record and the video too, plus…he rapped with a kitten in his hoody. I mean…come on. Epic.
The video was conceived by Special Problems (production company behind Alicia Key's HP commercial) and sees 7 different directors/animators interpreting 7 parts of the song. Each person was given a segment of the song and access to David Dallas. A few rules were put in place. Each scene was to be shot on a different format: 16mm film, VHS, Stop Motion, 3d Animation, and during the creation of the video, the directors were not allowed to know what each other were doing. The result is a series of beautiful, very different images pieced together to make the video.
