The HPA axis mediates the response of the body to stress; as such, it has been a natural focus of biological research into a disorder with a close link to stress. A schematic representation of the HPA axis is shown in Figure 2.1. The HPA axis has been extensively studied in depression; about 50% of depressed patients show apicture of hypercortisolaemia. However, this varies with the symptomatic picture: rates are higher in those with features of DSM-IV melancholic depression, strong somatic symptoms, or psychosis (Schatzberg et al., 2002).
Assessing the HPA axis can be problematic. Cortisol is a pulsatile hormone, has a strong diurnal rhythm, and is released in stressful circumstances, such as blood sampling. For this reason, more detailed methods of endocrinological assessment are needed. A widely used method in depression has been the dexamethasone-suppression test (DST). Dexametha-sone is a synthetic glucocorticoid which suppresses hypothalamic corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH) and pituitary adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) via glucocorticoid receptors (Figure 2.1). In a proportion of depressed individuals, such suppression fails to occur, averaging around 60-70% in melancholic depression and 30-40% in 'neurotic' depression. The test is not specific to depression, as non-suppression can be seen in other
GR/MR receptors j A
hippocampus c hippocampal I I I neurons T T T
v acth adrenal cortex i cortisol-
metabolic effects depression hippocampal atrophy impaired 5-HT neurotransmission
Figure 2.1 Schematic representation of the control of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. CRH: corticotrophin-releasing hormone; ACTH: corticotropin; AVP: argenine vasopressin; MR: mineralocorticoid receptors; GR: glucocorticoid receptors. Abnormalities in this axis in depression are shown in Table 2.1.
conditions. A further refinement of this test is the combined dexamethasone-CRH test. Dexamethasone pre-administration usually attenuates the cortisol response to CRH; in depression, this effect is less pronounced due to downregulated glucocorticoid receptors. This test has proved more able to distinguish depressed subjects from normals that the simple DST (Heuser et al., 1994). Table 2.1 outlines the specific findings of the various tests applied to components of the HPA axis.
Table 2.1 HPA axis abnormalities in depression relating to Figure 2.1
A Increased incidence of life events and chronic stress B Impaired hippocampal fast (rate-sensitive) feedback C Hippocampal atrophy
D Raised CRH levels in the cerebrospinal fluid; impaired negative feedback by dexamethasone E Impaired pituitary ACTH response to CRH administration; this may represent downregulated CRH receptors or negative feedback from high cortisol levels. Pituitary hypertrophy F Hypertrophied adrenal cortices G Hypercortisolism
Thus, in a substantial proportion of depressed patients, there is oversecretion of cortisol and reduced negative feedback at the hypothalamus and pituitary. Can cortisol hypersecretion be considered a plausible biological mechanism for depression? First, since cortisol is the main stress hormone, it is easy to see how it might mediate between life events and biological changes in depression. Evidence that raised cortisol levels may be driving depression rather than vice versa comes from studies showing that lowering cortisol levels, as for example, by administering cortisol synthesis inhibitor drugs such as metyrapone or ketoconazole, can alleviate depression (Murphy, 1997). However, raised cortisol secretion in endogenous Cushing's disease is associated with depression in 50-85% of cases. Furthermore, abnormally high cortisol levels have been shown to be associated with other biological changes, such as inhibitory effects on neuronal 5-HT neurotransmission; given the links between 5-HT neurotransmission and mood changes, this is a feasible mechanism by which 5-HT neurotransmission could become dysregulated. There are also suggestions that prolonged periods of high cortisol can lead to hippocampal atrophy—indeed, in Cushing's disease, the decreased hippocampus size can be correlated with plasma cortisol levels and cognitive impairment. Recent studies also suggest hippocampal atrophy in depression (Sheline & Minyun, 2002).
However, the role of the HPA may also be seen in other ways. Adverse circumstances in childhood, such as losing parents or suffering abuse, are well known to predispose an individual to depression. Recent work suggests that the HPA axis may provide some further understanding of the mechanism of this link. Experiencing childhood abuse leads to a long-term alteration of the stress response (Heim et al., 2000). Thus, it is also possible to see the HPA axis changes as a biological link between early life stresses and an increased vulnerability to stress and depression.
Others have noted that changes elsewhere in the HPA axis may mediate symptoms. For example, CRH may also act as a neurotransmitter, and it produces symptoms of agitation, insomnia, and reduced feeding in animals. The amount of CRH expressed in cells, and the co-occurrence of CRH with its synergistic ACTH releaser, vasopressin, is increased in depressed suicide victims. CRH levels in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) are increased. Furthermore, CRH receptors are found in the cortex, and show a reduced density in suicide victims, consistent with high levels of CRH release. Thus, increased CRH in depression could contribute to some symptoms (Nemeroff, 1996).
The importance of the HPA axis changes in depression go beyond the apparent ability to provide a neat mediator between stressful events and symptoms, and also concerns prognostic indicators. There are suggestions that DST non-suppression is associated with a poorer response to placebo (though not a superior response to medication) and a poorer response to cognitive therapy (Thase et al., 1996). More strikingly, if clinical response to treatment is associated with continued non-suppression, there is a fourfold increase in the risk of short-term relapse or suicide attempt. Recently, the long-term risk of suicide was also found to be more closely linked to DST non-suppression than any other factor, more so even than past suicide attempts (Coryell & Sehlesser, 2001).
In summary, there is no doubt that HPA axis dysfunction is present in a large proportion of depressed patients, particularly those with more melancholic symptom patterns. The HPA axis provides a plausible biological mechanism for some of the most replicated causal theories of depression. Thus, the links between depressive symptoms and stressful life
events, chronic social adversity, or traumatic or abusive childhoods could all be explained by the mediating role of the HPA axis.

Freakwater singer-guitarist Catherine Irwin took the Iota club's stage Monday night wearing a spangled Western shirt, a cowboy hat and skeleton gloves, but only the gloves -- which she removed after the first number -- were for Halloween. The rest of the costume reflected Irwin's dedication to a style of country music that doesn't have much to do with cowboys.
She and singing partner Janet Beveridge Bean perform originals in the tradition of old-timey Appalachian balladry: rough-hewn, doom-struck and very, very slow. In 100 minutes, Freakwater played only 16 songs.
Admittedly, there was a lot of downtime between numbers, as Irwin and Bean chatted, joked and tuned their guitars. But most of their time was devoted to such dirges as "Buckets of Oil," which trudged toward salvation at a deliberate pace. The quintet did a couple of up-tempo songs, notably the exuberant "So Strange," but its essential style depends on a unhurried gait. On such songs as "Loserville," a doleful tribute to the singers' Kentucky home town, unison singing became harmonizing almost by accident, as Irwin's and Bean's voices slipped out of alignment or Bean held individual notes longer or pushed them higher than her partner.
Although the band included a drummer who also played keyboards and saxophone, the two sopranos were always central. And if Irwin and Bean sounded a little more ragged than on Freakwater's recordings, that just added to the sense of authenticity.

Prince George’s bag tax vote delayed
ANNAPOLIS — A group of Prince George’s County lawmakers chose Wednesday to delay their vote on a proposed 5-cent bag tax in the county.
The Prince George’s House delegation’s six-member County Affairs Committee will likely vote on the bill next week, after County Executive Rushern L. Baker III requested more time to discuss the proposal with lawmakers.
Mr. Baker, a Democrat, is among many county officials who favor the bill and are trying to urge support from the county’s General Assembly members. The County Council voted 8-0 last week in favor of the tax.
The tax would apply to paper and plastic bags in grocery stores and most retail businesses, and supporters say it would help reduce littering and pollution in the county. Opponents argue it could increase grocery costs and disproportionately affect poorer residents.
“This is an environmental justice bill,” said committee Chairman Delegate Justin D. Ross, Prince George’s Democrat. “Children in poor neighborhoods shouldn’t have to walk past trash on their way to school.”
Unlike some other counties, Prince George’s law requires that the county receive state approval before instituting any new taxes.
Last week, the committee voted 3-2 in favor of the tax, but failed to receive the necessary constitutional majority of four votes needed for passage.
Delegate Veronica L. Turner, Prince George’s Democrat, was absent during the vote but said she was leaning toward voting against the tax.
If the committee passes the bill, it would be voted upon by the entire 23-member House delegation. If passed there, it would move to the Assembly which traditionally defers to county decisions on local bills.
If the bill fails in committee for a second time, rules would allow a third committee vote. A third failed vote would effectively kill the bill.

Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group is acquiring around 20% stake in consumer electronics retailer Suning Commerce for $4.6bn (£3bn, €4.2bn) – its biggest deal ever.
The transaction will make Alibaba, Suning's second-biggest shareholder. Meanwhile, the electronics retailer, which operates 1,600 outlets in 289 Chinese cities, would acquire a 1.1% stake in Alibaba by spending up to CN¥14bn (£142m).
The companies also signed a strategic partnership agreement, under which they will team up in logistics and online sales to target deliveries as fast as two hours. Suning will also open a store on Alibaba's Tmall.com online platform.
After its massive initial public offering (IPO) in the US, Alibaba is facing a fall in its share prices. In order to bolster its operations, Alibaba has quickened the pace of its deals. Since January, the company announced 22 deals worth $9.1bn, compared to 25 deals worth $5.9bn in 2014.
With the partnership with Suning, Alibaba looks to boost its offerings in electronics and home appliances market, which is expected to have an exponential growth in China.
"We're going to be able to leverage on Suning's physical infrastructure," Alibaba vice chairman Joseph Tsai said during a conference call.
He added that the investment was an example of Alibaba's "omni channel" strategy, integrating online and brick-and-mortar retailing.
"You can imagine a customer going into a store using an Alibaba app, experiencing the product first hand, but operating the whole purchase online so he doesn't have to wait at the checkout counter," he said.
The companies would also link their customer databases in order to tailor services such as in-store mobile payments, according to CEO Daniel Zhang.
"We will also work with them to figure out integrated solutions to do in-store pickup and in-store return to serve our clients," he said.

Is the international community’s space for engagement in Libya’s rebuilding and transition process shrinking?
Members of the international community have raised concerns over recent hostilities against foreign aid groups and international employees in the North African country, particularly attacks on embassies and international aid offices. There is also mounting international pressure for the release of four International Criminal Court employees detained last week in the town of Zintan.
The past days have seen attacks on two Red Cross offices in Misrata and Benghazi and bombings near the U.S. consulate in Benghazi as well as a targeted attack on a convoy of the U.K. ambassador to Libya. These incidents have prompted fears in Libya that Islamist extremists are attempting to sabotage the country’s first post-revolution election scheduled in July, The Washington Post says.
The United Nations, ICC and Australia, meanwhile, continue to pressure the Libyan government to release an Australian ICC defense lawyer and her colleagues. Libya put lawyer Melinda Taylor and her team from ICC under house arrest June 7, citing national security reasons. The ICC team was in in Libya for a meeting with Saif al-Islam Gadhafi, son of deposed leader Moammar Gadhafi.
“These four international civil servants have immunity when on an official ICC mission,” ICC President Sang-Hyun Song said. “I call on the Libyan authorities to immediately take all necessary measures to ensure their safety and security and to liberate them.”

I woke up this morning with this song in my heart. I went to the Indigo2 last night to see Kook & the Gang (another oldie but goodie) and came across a flyer advertising a forthcoming Brand New Heavies gig scheduled to take place at the same venue next month. Talk about instantly taking me back. Gosh, how amazing was/is this band? As my friend Sam rightly says, fellow Acid-jazzers Jamiroquai took a lot of their shine, probably due to the weird charisma of Jay Kay, but for me the BNH were always the real deal. Since locating ‘Stay This Way’ on You Tube I’m on my forth rewind. I forbid you to have a listen and not be overcome with a sheer sense of ebullience – it’s such a joyous song. And what of lead singer N’Dea Davenport? Isn’t she a hottie?And what a syrupy sweet songbird tone. Sorry Siedah I know you're a great artist and all, but I was so mad when you replaced her. However, N'Dea fans rest assured, she's back in the fold and will be appearing at the Indig02 show. Anyway, back to the track, I can’t remember it doing major things on the charts upon release but it remains a firm favourite of mine. And in case you were wondering - UK Blak? Admittedly the BNH don't necessarily fit the criteria considering they are fronted by an African American woman and backed by a mostly English band mates. But to me they represent the true essence of multi-culturalism, you know, one nation under a groove and all of that good stuff. So do like we did back in the day and pump up the volume!
The concert is scheduled for Thurs 16th October, for further info visit www.theindigo2.co.uk

"The DOJ's planned search of the President's Rehoboth residences, conducted in coordination and cooperation with the President's attorneys, has concluded," Bauer said, adding, "The search was conducted from 8:30 am to noon."
"No documents with classified markings were found," CNN quoted President's personal attorney as saying.
Regarding the last month's search in Biden's home in Wilmington, Delaware, Bauer said that the agents "took for further review some materials and handwritten notes that appear to relate to his time as Vice President."
Bauer confirmed earlier in the morning that investigators were searching the home. Bauer said that the search was planned and had the "full support and cooperation" of Biden.
The FBI previously searched Biden's home in Wilmington, Delaware, turning up what his lawyer described as multiple items containing classified material. That search occurred from January 20 to 23.
After an extensive search in Biden's home, six classified documents were found, including personally handwritten notes, files, papers, and binders that covered decades of his work. His personal attorney described them as "documents with classification markings and surrounding materials."
The Justice Department also took some of Biden's handwritten notes from his vice-presidential years to further review them, according to CNN.
"In the interest of moving the process forward as expeditiously as possible, we offered to provide prompt access to his home," Bob Bauer, a lawyer for the president said.
Interestingly, both the current and the most recent former president have had federal agents extensively search their properties as special counsels investigate the handling of classified information, according to The Washington Post.
Earlier, on January 9, Biden's special counsel confirmed that classified documents from his time as vice president were discovered in a private office space and turned over to the National Archives in November, reported CNN.
Though the first documents were found on November 2, the news was not publicly revealed until last week when US-based television broadcasting company CBS reported their existence. Other documents have since been found at Biden's home in Wilmington.

The armory in Crown Heights will be converted from an abandoned cavern into 500,000 square feet of housing and commercial space, the de Blasio administration announced Thursday.
The 112-year-old site will also include a recreational facility, community event center and office space. The developer, Bedford Courts, was chosen to convert the space into 300 units of housing, half of which will be below market rate.
The armory "has been a centerpiece of the Crown Heights community for more than a century, and by reactivating it, we are building upon its potential to benefit the entire neighborhood," said NYC Economic Development Corp. president Maria Torres-Springer.
The project has been in the works for years.
In 2012, EDC quietly issued a call for a developer to either buy or lease the site. Former Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz set aside $1 million for the project.
The Art Nouveau-style armory was built in 1903 for the Troop C Cavalry Unit. But in 2011, its 130 soldiers were moved to a new base in Fort Hamilton.

Roll off Trailer
80,000 GVW is the Federal Maximum total weight for trailers in almost all states. Michigan and New York are the main exceptions and with special permits at times other states allow exemptions. Michigan of course allows 6, 7 and 8 axle trailers with GVW of close to 140,000 lbs. and NY allows an annual permit for 102,000 lbs., but as said most all others are 80,000 lbs.
At BENLEE there are two Roll off Trailer products to get this maximum 80,000 lbs. GVW
Conventional-This 80,000 lbs. GVW 40′ Tri axle (three axle) unit is the work horse of the BENLEE product line, with its 4 cyclinders. Think of it as a M1 tank. It has the ability and it can pick up 80,000+ lbs. It is totally illegal to do this and it should never be done. This unit with a steerable third axle can be over permitted in NY State to run 102,000 lbs. GVW. To get this with it three axles it weighs 22,000 lbs.
Bridge Master-This model also comes in a 40′ 80,000 lbs. GVW model which again is the Federal Maximum, yet this model does this with only TWO axles and two cylinders. it is becoming the new Standard in 40′ trailers and it new new work horse of the BENLEE product line. It will only pick up about 60,000 lbs. (WHICH IS ALSO TOTALLY ILLEGAL and should never be done.). Here is the best part though, it is like a armored HUMMER!!! The beauty is that it only weighs about 16,400 lbs, so it weighs 5,600 less and therefore carries alot material in the box!!
These trailers are good to run in Chicago, Texas, North Carolina and in reality, every state.


Germany delays sale of armored cars (HA´ARETZ NEWS) By Amnon Barzilai 02/01/05)
HA'ARETZ} NEWS SERVICE
HA'ARETZ} NEWS SERVICE Articles-Index-Top
The German government is holding up the signing of a contract for the
sale of Dingo armored cars to Israel for fear that the Israel Defense
Forces will use them against the Palestinians. In talks over recent
weeks with senior Israeli officials, the Germans have said they have
no objection in principle to approving the sale of the all-purpose
vehicles, but that it is "a problem of timing."
The IDF decided to acquire 100 Dingo-2 armored cars for the
transportation of troops and for patrols, particularly in the
territories. The deal is worth some $60 million.
The armored cars, due to be the first of their kind in the IDF, are
supposed to replace the more cumbersome, high maintenance M-116
Armored Personnel Carriers that have carried the troops since the
1960s, and which provide less protection. The IDF was searching for
both a heavy APC that would provide protection against missiles and a
lighter armored car that could be used on paved roads and rough
In order to use American military aid for the purchase, the Israeli
Defense Ministry arranged for the transfer of the know-how and
production from the German Krauss-Maffei Wegmann firm to the American
firm, Textron. It was agreed that the American firm would produce
most of the parts in the U.S. while certain parts, including the
engine that is manufactured by a subsidiary of Mercedes, would be
manufactured in Germany and sent to the U.S.
The contract was signed at the beginning of last summer, and since
then most of the agreements between Textron and the Defense Ministry
have been completed. However the parallel contract that Textron was
supposed to sign with the German producer has been held up.
The Dingo-2 is an air transportable, armored mine-proof vehicle,
based on a commercial chassis produced by DaimlerChrysler, designed
for high mobility in any type of terrain.
The vehicle is fitted with an armored cage protecting the passengers,
engine compartment, fuel tank and cargo bay. The modular, repairable
armor provides protection against all types of hand-held weapons, as
well as artillery fragments up to 155 millimeters.
In addition, it is fitted with an oblique "blast deflector" floor,
providing crew protection against heavy anti-tank mines and anti-
personnel mines. It is designed to travel at speeds of up to 90
kilometers per hour, and has a range of 1,000 kilometers. The diesel-
powered vehicle can carry eight fully equipped troops.
The IDF plans to fit the Dingo-2 with a "lethal" overhead weapon
station that was developed at Rafael that can operate two types of
machine guns and an automatic grenade-launcher.
Sources in the defense establishment expressed hope yesterday that
the deal would be sped up by progress in the talks being held between
Israel and the Palestinians, and the planned disengagement plan which
will take the IDF out of the Gaza Strip. (© Copyright 2005 Haaretz.

"All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn. If you read it you must stop where the slave Jim is stolen from the boys. That is the real end.

Flex those muscles!
The Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 is the most track-focused variant of the muscle car in the American automaker’s lineup. It’s designed to tear up tracks like the Nürburgring, where it passed the finish line in just 7:37.47, setting its mark as a force to be reckoned with. Now, that track-focused platform is getting even better thanks to the new Hennessey Performance HPE600 upgrade program.
The 7.0-liter naturally-aspirated V-8 engine was the main focus for the team at Hennessey Performance. Here, the American tuners got to work by upgrading the internals with ported cylinder heads, new valvetrain parts, custom HPE camshafts, and Redline Water Weter. A set of stainless steel longtube headers opens up the voice of the V-8 and helps optimize backpressure.
After some dyno tuning and road testing, the HPE600 Camaro Z/28 throws down a whopping 636 bhp at 7,000 RPM – a 131 horsepower increase compared to the stock model. Couple that with the impressive downforce-inducing aerodynamic kit, 300 lbs. of weight reduction, Brembo brakes, and more, and the HPE600 Camaro Z/28 becomes a brutal powerhouse on the racetrack.
To make the HPE600 Camaro Z/28 extra special, Hennessey Performance also includes a set of premium floor mats, carbon fiber door sills, exterior badging, and serial-numbered dashboard and engine plaques.
The HPE600 conversion for the Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 comes standard with a three-year, 36,000-mile warranty from Hennessey Performance.

He’d probably enjoy the freedom of expression, given he experienced so much censorship during his life. But I don’t think he’d enjoy the hoi polloi having freedom of expression. He’d let them know in no uncertain terms and his account would be closed down before it had ever really began.
While without phone I experienced a very different Nottingham on my walks into work each day. I heard the leaves rustling as I kicked them, I learned to tune into the distant chime of Little John in the Council House so that I knew the time, and I began to notice recurring patterns, such as the three cleaners who fag it every morning at 8.50am after finishing the early shift at the High School. Not having headphones on or tapping away at a device meant I was temporarily connected to the world rather than a device.
We can guess what Lawrence’s feelings about mobile phones would be from the essay Insouciance, which was originally published as ‘Over-earnest Ladies in the Evening News’ on 12 July 1928. It starts with him wandering out barefoot onto a balcony to serenely contemplate the ‘sulky’ mountains in the distance, cherry trees, and two men slushing their scythes downhill.
Unfortunately for Lawrence he’s not ‘allowed to sit like a dandelion on my own stem’ and pleasantly muse over his surroundings because he’s bookended between two white-haired little ladies who have decided today is the day to shed off their shyness and share with him their opinions on Italy, Signor Mussolini, ‘and the empty desert spaces of right and wrong, politics, Fascism and the rest’.
Lawrence is not interested in ‘abstract liberty’ or any of the other preoccupations that remove him from the here and now. He wonders why ‘modern people almost invariably ignore the things that are actually present in them’. At this exact moment in time he is only interested in one thing, the ‘different amount of effort’ in the mowing techniques of the two men. This reveals a lot about Lawrence the writer and his acute attention to detail, observing that the elderly man in ‘shabby trousers’ deploys a ‘jerky advance’. His stiffness results in ‘crunching the end of his stroke with a certain violent effort’.
Perhaps because he was nearing the end of his life, Lawrence doesn’t want to use up energy worrying about the ‘void of politics’ and ‘abstract caring’ instead he requires a more freer connection with the world.
‘What is actual living? It is a question mostly of direct contact. There was a direct sensuous contact between me, the lake, mountains, cherry trees, mowers, and a certain invisible but noisy chaffinch in a clipped lime tree. All this was cut off by the fatal shears of that abstract word Fascism.’
For the month I was without a phone I started to develop a direct contact with the world and my immediate environment. The world revealed itself as a serious of colours and patterns and I found my place somewhere in it. It is impossible to be insouciant with social media because it demands your constant attention. A medium of 140 characters lends itself to ever more ‘abstract’ words because these are required to stand out in the technological void. This is not freedom of expression. There is nothing free about reducing the meat of the self to lists, tags, and trending topics. This is a shredding of self rather than a direct contact with the world.
‘When it comes to living, we live through our instincts and our intuitions’ concludes Lawrence. It’s instinct that made Lawrence flee from the old white-haired ladies just as it was instinct that told me not to hurry up and get my phone fixed. ‘But it is intuition’ which enabled Lawrence to feel the ‘sulkiness of the mountains’ and each of the scythe-strokes ‘in the silence of the intense light’. Technology attempts to be intuitive but really it’s a right pain in the arse. How can you ever truly feel or understand something that is constantly updating itself and changing just for the sake of it. This is obsolescence. It is very different to the seasonal change of rusting leaves that I was able to observe for one month while my phone was broke.
Is there a place for ‘Insouciance’ in our DH Lawrence Memory Theatre? Perhaps it could be represented by a dandelion? In 2019 we will be creating a travelling memory theatre that explores Lawrence’s life through artefacts. If you want to submit an idea, you can do so here.

Its Added to Many Foods and May Be Raising Your Cholesterol
If you were to believe popular reports, cholesterol is the root cause of heart disease. But that is simply not true. The real culprit responsible for the rising number of cardiovascular disease is our high carb diet and the worst offender in this food group is added sugar. But how does simple sugar affect blood cholesterol? Why is cholesterol no longer bad for your heart? Read on to find out how what you believe about cholesterol may be hurting you.
Cholesterol is often demonized in public press and medical literature for increasing the risk of atherosclerosis and heart disease. This simplistic view has fueled a number of myths and clouded the truth about the role of cholesterol in the body.
Cholesterol is needed for the synthesis of sex hormones, adrenal hormones, bile acids and vitamin D.
In fact, it is naturally produced in the liver. The liver makes about 75% of the cholesterol the body needs every day. The rest comes from the diet.
Although, many physicians and health experts relentless advocate reducing blood cholesterol level, there is no scientific evidence to suggest that lowering total blood cholesterol reduces the risk of heart disease.
In fact, a growing number of physicians report that many patients with heart disease have cholesterol levels well within normal ranges and that many who tested with high cholesterol levels are quite healthy.
There are generally 2 types of blood cholesterol. HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol and LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol. While HDL cholesterol is known as “good cholesterol” and LDL cholesterol is regarded as “bad cholesterol”, the truth is that cholesterol is neither good nor bad.
Of more importance to cardiovascular health is triglycerides, another group of fats found in the blood.
Studies show that measuring the amount of triglycerides in the blood is a better way to predict the risk of heart disease. More importantly, the ratio of triglycerides to HDL cholesterol is a pretty accurate predictor of cardiovascular health.
Over the years, we were repeatedly advised to cut back on foods rich in fats and cholesterol in order to reduce the risk of heart disease. This advice seemed inevitable: if we remove the sources of cholesterol, our blood cholesterol levels should drop.
However, new findings have proven that this seemingly logical advice is not only wrong but unhealthy.
Studies show that eating cholesterol-rich foods barely affects blood cholesterol levels. In fact, saturated fats (once promoted as especially bad for cardiovascular health) have been proven to be safe.
In addition, studies show that following the recommendation of the American Heart Association to replace saturated fats with carbohydrates is actually detrimental to health and can increase the risk of heart disease.
Not only is increased consumption of carbohydrate bad for your heart, added sugar in the form of simple sugar added to processed, refined foods and soda drinks, is especially bad for your health.
One of the landmark studies in the fat vs. carb debate was conducted by Harvard researcher, Dariush Mozaffarian. The paradoxical results of this study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that increased consumption of saturated fats slowed down the progression of atherosclerosis in the studied group of postmenopausal women.
In contrast, higher carbohydrate intake was associated with increased progression of coronary atherosclerosis.
The study showed that replacing saturated fats with high-caloric carbs increased the risk of heart attack by more than 30%.
To better understand these new shifts in the relationship between foods and cholesterol, it is important to revisit our understanding of lipoproteins.
Although LDL cholesterol is commonly called “bad” cholesterol, this is not always true. In fact, low-density lipoproteins or LDL particles come in different sizes. The LDL particles associated with heart disease are the small, dense ones.
Large, less dense LDL particles are safe and may even be good for the heart. Therefore, it is important to raise the levels of large LDL particles in the same ways that we try to raise the levels of HDL particles.
Just as important, the amount of circulating small, dense LDL particles should be reduced.
Egg, once demonized for its high cholesterol content, is a good source of large, healthful LDL cholesterol. Carbohydrates, on the other hand, raise the level of small, dense LDL particles and also lower HDL cholesterol.
Overall, studies show that the best ways to lower the level of small, dense LDL is to cut back on carbs instead of dietary fat and cholesterol while exercising regularly.
Sugar is a good example of a carbohydrate with high glycemic index. It can, therefore, increase the amount of small, dense LDL particles in the blood.
Although, health experts used to advocate that we cut the amount of sugar we consume because high blood sugar can cause insulin resistance and increase the risk of diabetes, there is now another reason to cut down on our sugar consumption.
A number of studies show that sugar can affect the kind and amount of cholesterol released into the blood.
The most commonly quoted study demonstrating the negative impact of sugar on cholesterol level and cardiovascular health is discussed below.
In a 2010 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association by researchers from Emory University, the nutritional data and blood lipid levels collected in a large survey spanning 1999 to 2006 were analyzed.
The researchers divided the results of more than 6,000 adults into 5 groups by the amount of added sugar and related caloric sweeteners consumed.
The data for this study were obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), a regular epidemiological program conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics. Such surveys are done to determine the health and nutritional status of the population.
The JAMA study found out that the highest consumers of added sugar eat the equivalent of 46 teaspoons of added sugar daily. The lowest consumers in the pooled data only consumed 3 teaspoons daily.
The huge difference in sugar consumption, however, tripled the risk of heart disease.
This study suggests that the consumption of added sugar may cause a condition known as dyslipidemia (low HDL cholesterol and high triglyceride levels) as well as obesity.
The source of simple sugar is really immaterial. Even though some believe that the sugar found in honey and molasses are healthful and the sugar found in fructose corn syrup and soda drinks are bad for our health, the simple truth is sugar is sugar.
However, most Americans consume more sugar from refined, processed foods and soda drinks than from fruit juices.
The latest data from the American Heart Association show that Americans consume an average of 22 teaspoons of added sugar per day. This is in sharp contrast to the recommended 6 teaspoons per day for women and 9 teaspoons per day for men.
Increasingly, added sugar is making up more of our daily calories. The increased consumption of added sugar can either add more calories to our diet or displace nutritious foods.
All of these facts suggests there is an urgent need to cut back on the amount of added sugar in our diet.
The simple, refined sugar commonly added to processed foods and soda drinks is meant to be quickly burnt to provide a ready energy source for the body.
However, consuming more sugar than is needed simply increases blood glucose levels. The body responds by releasing more insulin and storing excess blood sugar as fat. One of the means by which the body removes excess sugar from the blood is by storing them as triglycerides in the liver.
Triglycerides are a particularly unhealthy kind of fat. They are made from glycerol and fatty acids.
Triglycerides are used to transport fats and they are also important energy sources. In fact, triglycerides contain double the energy store of carbohydrates (9 kcal/g vs. 4 kcal/g).
The high energy content of triglycerides make them high caloric macronutrient and, therefore, potentially worse than the simple sugar used to synthesize them.
The body uses triglycerides to manufacture small-sized lipoproteins such as chylomicrons and VLDL (very low-density lipoproteins). These lipoproteins are even smaller than triglycerides and can, therefore, increase the risk of heart disease too.
The VLDL produced from triglycerides can also be converted to small, dense LDL which are known to get trapped in the walls of arteries and, therefore, increase the risk of heart disease.
While high sugar intake causes insulin resistance, it also wrecks the natural balance of the body. High blood sugar level coupled with high levels of circulating insulin can damage the walls of arteries.
Sugar causes inflammation and new studies have established that inflammation (and not cholesterol) is the root cause of heart disease.
When high sugar and insulin levels disrupt cellular and metabolic processes, a number of harmful compounds causes small tears in the lining of the arteries. The body responds to this injury by sending pro-inflammatory cytokines to the sites of injury.
Even as the lining of the arteries become damaged, small, dense LDL cholesterol become oxidized and then trapped in the inflamed sites of the lining.
The trapping of oxidized LDL cholesterol not only worsens the inflammation but also promotes the formation of plaques and the narrowing of the arteries.
Therefore, high sugar consumption can cause inflammation and increase the risk of atherosclerosis and heart disease.

Josh turned another year older last Sunday. The years just keep rolling by...it's scary...can we make it slow down? Just a bit? Oh the bright side, I love that birthday mean celebrations, and in our case, the chance to try another Seattle restaurant on our "to try" list. There are so many we want to go to, but they tend to be out of the everyday dinner price range.
For this particular celebration we headed over to Stika and Spruce. Oh man, good idea. Even with a week in a half early on calling for reservations, I was only able to snag a 5pm reservation for the two of us. Come on, Josh isn't turning that old. But it worked since we needed to meet up at 7:45pm for dessert to celebrate another friend's birthday. So 5pm it is!
But first, before dinner we sat down for a cocktail at Bar Ferdinand. Okay, yes, we were early. But it turned out to be quite enjoyable. I order a martinez, which was quite delightful. But then dinner called...
Our Order: Sourdough bread // Delicata Squash, pumpkin seeds, haloumi, whey, argan // roasted beets & apples, sunflower seeds tartar & flora's curd // half chicken, baked ham, peregion beans, einkorn & asian pear // buckwheat crunch ice cream.
Our Favorite was the delicata squash, but it was all delicious. (I forgot to take some of the photos before we started to dig in).
We enjoyed ourselves very much, and left with full bellies. Josh also liked opening his gifts. I bought him some over-the-ear headphones so he can rock around the house. That made him pretty happy, too.
After dinner, we headed over to our friends house for a surprise dessert party for Torrey's 40th birthday. I had made some pumpkin bars (sorry, highly secret recipe).
And our birthday food adventures didn't stop there. Oh no sir ye, we continued with breakfast the next morning (before I had to fly to Irvine for work). One of Josh's favorites is Hudson - it's where a bar meets comfort food.
The birthday weekend with fully bellies and smiling faces.
Happy Birthday Josh!

SoftBank backs Africa-focused AMEA Power with $75m
AMEA Power, one of the fastest growing renewable energy developers in Africa, has signed a $75 million equity funding round from Japanese investment holding company SoftBank Group Corp.
Founded in 2016, AMEA Power has assembled a world-class team of industry experts to deliver projects across Africa, the Middle East, and other emerging markets.
This represents AMEA Power’s first external equity funding following years of being privately funded by its founding shareholders. The funding will allow AMEA Power and SBG to explore a mutual partnership, which will lead to maximizing the value creation of AMEA Power mainly in the AMEA region.
As African economies grow, the demand for energy by companies, households, and industries increases by the day. This comes with challenges of climate change and energy depletion, however, many innovators and investors believe renewable energy can help Africa counter these challenges. Financiers mostly are skeptical about funding ventures in the renewable energy space, which has hindered growth in the sector, but AMEA’s successful raise—as well as recent huge rounds by Sun King particularly—suggests the perception towards the renewable energy opportunity in Africa could be changing.


OnePlus has been expanding its devices portfolio with regular new releases, and it looks that the brand still has “one more item” to offer this year. According to many rumours, OnePlus will introduce the OnePlus 10T following the March launch of the OnePlus 10 Pro in India. Generally, One Plus saves its T-smartphone series for the end of the year, but according to the leak, it will launch globally in July, including in India.
Since the timeline is talking about the One Plus 10 Pro, it is evident that the brand is planning to unveil three devices: the OnePlus 10 Pro, the OnePlus 10R, and the OnePlus 10T very soon. But it seems that the upcoming 10T will likely be the awkward middle child with a slightly lower price tag rather than having all flagship features. We’ve already heard a lot about the upcoming smartphone, so let’s just look at its detailed specifications once!
OnePlus 10T launch soon: Design and specifications (tipped)
Ahead of the official announcement, the OnePlus 10T’s design renders have already appeared online. The first thing is the same gas-stove rear camera module that we noticed on the OnePlus 10 Pro. The company may continue to introduce Hasselblad cameras on this version, similar to the 10 Pro models.
Coming to the upcoming 5G smartphone’s design, the rendering has already created a buzz in the market. Ahead of its official launch, the leaks suggest that the One Plus 10T will feature a similar gas-stove camera module at the back as the recently launched 10 Pro. It is also speculated that similar to the 10 Pro models, the business can continue to release Hasselblad cameras on this version as well.
Also, the OnePlus 10T resembles a lot of its other siblings with a few small differences here and there. It will be intriguing to see if the phone receives the recognisable slider button found on vintage OnePlus phones. In essence, it’s a clever method of switching between loud and silent audio settings. Although the phone may come in several colours, the graphic only displays a black colour option.
Talking about the display, we’ll likely see a good 6.7-inch AMOLED display paired with a 120Hz refresh rate. The selfie camera with a 32MP lens will also be housed in a punch-hole design at the front. Even though most Android devices only enable full-HD video recording, the front camera still requires an upgrade soon. Even the OnePlus 10 Pro comes with a 32-megapixel front camera that can only film in 1080p. Another report, however, indicates that the phone may come with the OnePlus 10R’s 16-megapixel front camera.
There is still considerable debate over the processor of this upcoming smartphone. The leaks have revealed the inclusion of the Dimensity 9000 SoC paired with Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 SoC. Generally, OnePlus employs Qualcomm CPUs in its flagship models. However, the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 SoC leak seems strange given that the OnePlus 10T is said to be more reasonably priced. It will be interesting to see if the phone experiences any heating difficulties. These would be similar to those seen by earlier generations if it chooses the “Plus” processor.
In terms of charging technology, we’ll have to wait and see if the 10T will support wireless charging. Additionally, it will be interesting to see if the OnePlus 10R receives the OnePlus 10 Pro’s IP classification for water and dust resistance. According to rumours, the phone would have a larger 4,800mAh battery and come pre-equipped with 150W fast charging technology.
OnePlus 10T price
The OnePlus 10T 5G will go on sale in China for CNY 3,000 (INR 35,000) and CNY 4,000 (INR 47,000). The phone might be on sale in India for less than Rs 50,000.
The introductory price for the OnePlus 10R 5G is Rs 38,999. While, on the other hand, the pricing for the OnePlus 10 Pro is Rs 66,999.

Input devices that can handle rough and tumble environments aren’t nearly as varied as their more fragile siblings. [Alastair Aitchison] has devised a brilliant way of detecting inputs from plumbing valves that opens up another option. (YouTube) [via Arduino Blog]
While [Aitchison] could’ve run the plumbing valves with water inside and detected flow, he decided the more elegant solution would be to use photosensors and an LED to simplify the system. This avoids the added cost of a pump and flow sensors as well as the questionable proposition of mixing electronics and water. By analyzing the change in light intensity as the valve closes or opens, you can take input for a range of values or set a threshold for an on/off condition.
[Aitchison] designed these for an escape room, but we can see them being great for museums, amusement parks, or even for (train) simulators. He says one of the main reasons he picked plumbing valves was for their aesthetics. Industrial switches and arcade buttons have their place, but certainly aren’t the best fit in some situations, especially if you’re going for a period feel. Plus, since the sensor itself doesn’t have any moving parts, these analog inputs will be easy to repair should anything happen to the valve itself.

I’m often interested in stories of
people in American history that don’t get recorded–under the radar stories
about the experiences that don’t get covered typically in history books.
Sometimes it’s a subculture, sometimes it’s a movement that doesn’t get
recognized. And often it involves people who never told their stories at the time. My first book, Ginseng the Divine Root,
was about a subculture of this plant that through its history of over 200
years being traded to the Far East had this subculture from Appalachia to
herbalists in the cities to China, and the connections that I didn’t expect and
that many people who read the story had never thought. I’ve always been fascinated by forests
and by how people relate to them. My first job was as an editor with forestry research. And it was fascinating to see how people’s experiences with the
forest went back in many different ways. Typically you think of our
relationship to the environment as positive, in warm terms. But I was also
interested in how sometimes the connection might go in the other
direction too and be a source of conflict. Cork Wars starts with a factory
fire in Baltimore on the eve of World War Two and it unfolds through the war in
the experience of families and an industry that suddenly got turned over
by this fire and what it may have met for national security.
So we see ordinary people getting drawn in extraordinary ways into the
war, and what they experienced and how that unfolded.

Solomon Lovell (1732–1801) was a brigadier general in the militia of the state of Massachusetts during the American Revolutionary War. He is best known for leading the land forces during the 1779 Penobscot Expedition, a disastrous attempt by Massachusetts to dislodge a British force from a settlement on a peninsula in Penobscot Bay, present-day Castine, Maine.
Solomon Lovell was born in Abington, in the Province of Massachusetts Bay, on June 1, 1732, to David and Mary (née Torrey) Lovell. His father was a Harvard graduate, teacher, and sometime preacher. He died when Solomon was quite young, and the boy was raised first by his grandfather Enoch Lovell, and after his death by his stepfather, Samuel Kingman. Kingman, a military man, may have influenced the young Solomon to develop an interest in the military. Lovell’s military service during the French and Indian War (1754–1760) is not known in detail; he is known to have served as a first lieutenant in a militia company at Lake George, New York during the 1756 campaign. In 1758 he married Lydia Holbrook, the daughter of a neighbor. The couple had two children; the first died in infancy, and Lydia died during the birth of the second in 1761. The following year Lovell remarried, to Hannah Pittey, a woman who had originally spurned his proposal to her before his first marriage. With Hannah he settled into her house in Weymouth; they had seven children, three of whom survived to adulthood. He was active in town affairs, and began serving in the provincial assembly in 1771. He was also active in the local militia, rising to the rank of major in July 1771 and colonel in 1775.
==American Revolutionary War==
With the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War with the Battles of Lexington and Concord in April 1775, Lovell’s military activity increased. He was commissioned a colonel of the 2nd Massachusetts Regiment in February 1776, and his troops were among those that occupied the heights south of Boston, prompting the British to withdraw the city. He continued to be active in the defense of eastern Massachusetts, and was promoted to brigadier general of the Suffolk County militia on June 24, 1777. Lovell led Massachusetts troops in the 1778 Battle of Rhode Island, where Lovell was one of several officers who “distinguished themselves by their coolness and courage.”
In 1779 the British sent a force to occupy the Bagaduce peninsula in Penobscot Bay, in order to establish a settlement they called New Ireland. This territory, now part of the state of Maine, was then part of Massachusetts, and the state mobilized a large fleet and its militia to dislodge the British. Lovell was given command of the land forces, and the naval fleet was under the command of Connecticut native Dudley Saltonstall. Both men were ordered to cooperate with one another, but neither was given a clear authority over the other; this was a major contributing factor to the disastrous Penobscot Expedition that followed. During the entire course of the expedition, Lovell frequently complained (in his writings, and reportedly in war councils) of Saltonstall’s unwillingness to take any sort of risks with the fleet in support of attacks on the British fortifications. The expedition dissolved in confusion with the arrival of a Royal Navy fleet; the entire Massachusetts fleet was captured or destroyed, and the land forces that escaped were forced to make an arduous journey overland. Lovell did not return to Boston until September 20, after making arrangements for defenses in the Kennebec River valley.
The board of inquiry established by the state completely exonerated Lovell, and severely chastised Commodore Saltonstall for his failures. Saltonstall was court-martialed and cashiered out of the Continental Navy.
Lovell had, during the war, periodically served as a representative to the state legislature. He continued to do so after the war, also occasionally serving as town selectman. When Norfolk County was separated from Suffolk County, Lovell was given the task of petitioning the legislature to keep Weymouth a part of Suffolk County. He was unsuccessful in this effort; Weymouth is now in Norfolk County. Lovell died in Weymouth on September 9, 1801, having outlived his wife by six years. He is buried in the Pittey family tomb in Weymouth.


Dear Commons Community,
There is absolutely no limit to the depths that the extreme right-wing spokesman, Rush Limbaugh, will go to try to criticize President Barack Obama. Yesterday, Limbaugh said that President Obama was “hoping” that Hurricane Irene would be a “disaster.”
Discussing how the media hyped Irene, he said that the storm was blown out of proportion to “push the leftist agenda,” and tied it to what he said was Obama’s desire to have a huge disaster.
“I’ll guarantee you Obama was hoping this was going to be a disaster as another excuse for his failing economy,” he said. “If he’s out there blaming tsunamis, blaming earthquakes, this one [was] made to order, but it just didn’t measure up.”
What idiocy and sadly indicative of the pathetic state of talk radio in this country.
