There hasn’t been a Thanksgiving Day in the lives of Richard and Jennifer Rodriguez when they’ve felt more thankful than today.
A stray bullet from a Jan. 10 gas station robbery ricocheted off the car Jennifer was sitting in and entered the Harmony Road Music School in North Oakland as her son, Chris, was practicing the piano. The bullet entered Chris’ body and turned the 10-year-old into a paraplegic.
“We’re certainly thankful that Chris lived, and I lived, because it could have been a very different scenario,” said Jennifer, mother of Chris Rodriguez. “And Chris has his wits about him, his humor, and certainly his courage.”
Richard and Jennifer have even more thanks to give regarding their son this Thanksgiving.
“I’m grateful right now that his pain has been diminished to some degree,” Richard said. “He’s with pain every day, but it’s manageable now. In time, the nerve heals a little bit.”
And now there is hope that Chris’ paralysis may not be permanent. His parents have learned that other paraplegics are walking again. There are no guarantees, but even a slim chance gives them hope.
Jennifer and Richard credit a Pleasanton group, SCI-Fit, with showing them how to exercise a paraplegic properly and how to motivate a child — their only child — struggling with a disability.
“As a result of that, Taj can move parts of his legs he never was able to move before,” said Richard, using his son’s nickname, taken from his middle name, Tajai.
Richard then demonstrated how his son can lift his right leg 4 inches off the floor. Chris is unable to lift his left leg because of the placement of the bullet-damaged nerve.
Although the bullet remains in his body, protected by fatty tissue, Chris will be fitted next week with leg braces that should help him become somewhat ambulatory.
“He will walk,” Richard predicted. “But if he never walks to the extent that we consider walking, that’s OK, because he has accepted the fact that he’ll be able to walk a little bit.”
In the meantime, Chris is playing wheelchair basketball.
The Rodriguez family is spending Thanksgiving in their Oakland home with 10 to 15 family members and friends. Jennifer is cooking the turkey, Richard is providing a honey-baked ham, and guests are bringing the other dishes.
“I’m thankful that Richard and I were able to manage this (ordeal) together, because it’s very stressful on a (14-year) marriage,” Jennifer said Monday at the Diggery Inn, a Glenview district diner. “But we made it through to the other side with all the support we’ve received.”
Chris’ tragedy gripped the soul of a city that’s become conditioned to gunfire, homicides and far too many obituaries of the often-innocent.
“There was an assumption that Oakland didn’t have a heart,” Richard said. “But we run into some wonderful people all the time with their letters, their support and their kindness, which really helped us a lot. And there has been financial support through wonderful donors.”
Chris has maintained the close friends he had before Jan. 10.
“We’re thankful that he can be dropped off at the movies like the old days,” Jennifer said. “A lot of weekends, we have two, three kids sleeping over. You catch Chris on the floor playing like the rest of them.”
Then there are the mentors from across the country with similar disabilities who have influenced Chris, who’s now 11. He is a tower of strength in a child’s body.
“He’s always been mature for his age, and independent,” Richard said. “We’re lucky, because he’s handled this thing very well. I never saw much self-pity; he’s maintained a stiff upper lip.”
Richard had to let his construction business slide while tending to Chris after the shooting. Only recently has Richard returned to work, though in the middle of the nation’s mortgage crisis.
“But my depression is lifted,” he said.
Yet for others in Oakland who’ve lost loved ones to drive-by shootings and other senseless acts, depression persists, and there won’t be much thanks to be found today.
Speaking as someone whose wife was held up at gunpoint — although her life was spared — one week before Chris Rodriguez was shot, my deepest sympathies go out to all of you.

Additional Seat Capacity for the Domestic Air Services
REALtonga is pleased to announce that they will be putting additional seat capacity into the Tongan domestic air services effective from Monday 10th June 2013.
The airline will be using its current Y12 aircraft to provide an additional service each day between Tongatapu and Vava’u. This means that Vava’u will now be serviced by three flights per day from Monday to Saturday. From June 24th, REALtonga will be damp leasing a Convair aircraft from Air Chathams. This aircraft has a seat capacity of 49 and will provide more than adequate capacity for the upcoming peak tourism season, especially for the Vava’u and Ha’apai sectors.
REALtonga’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Tevita Palu said, “he is delighted that the airline is now in a position to offer the much needed seats to cater for the tourism peak”. He went on to say “we are still in the process of finalizing our longer term fleet and we are happy to be able to fulfill our commitment to ensure that we are providing enough seats for all of our domestic air passengers as well as catering for our freight customers”.
The airline also announced, that from the 24th June, there will be some other material changes that will take place. REALtonga’s Commercial Manager, Tele Faletau said, “The additional capacity obviously comes at an increased cost as well as a requirement for the airline to sell more seats to meet these costs. To do this, the airline will be required to remove the two fare structure that is currently in place and replace it with a single fare per sector (currently the Flexi Fare). This in turn, will allow the airline to provide incentive commissions to agents and wholesalers around the world and will also allow the airline to put lower fares into the market during lower demand seasons”.
He went on to say, “the increase in capacity means that the airline has been afforded the opportunity to review the baggage allowance for REALtonga’s customers and as soon as the larger aircraft operates, the free baggage allowance for REALtonga’s customers will be increased from 10KG to 20KG for all passengers and there will now be capacity available to cater for the growing demand for air freight to the islands”.
Tevita Palu concluded by expressing his sincere appreciation to the Tongan people for their overwhelming support over the first three months of REALtonga’s operation. “Our airline is fully Tongan owned and managed for our people and our Kingdom and our customers have shown us great support, so we are very pleased to be announcing these new developments”.
For more information, please direct any questions to the REALtonga commercial department. Phone: +676 23-777 or e-mail email@example.com

This experience will take us to discover one of the most beautiful and characteristic corners of our region, the massif of Mount Cervati. The hiking will take place in two days, with the first stop that through the path that climbs along the valley of “the water that sounds”, we will cross a beautiful beech forest to an altitude of 1597 meters, where we will find to wait for us with their proverbial hospitality managers of the Refuge of Cervati, our friends Riccardo and Peppino. After we’ve checked in, we start towards the summit with a panoramic path that in less than 2 hours will take us to the church of the Madonna della Neve which is located on top of Mount Cervati, at 1,899 meters (highest peak in Campania), where we will have a wonderful view of the National Park of Cilento, Vallo di Diano and Alburni. After stopping an hour and a half at the top and not before visiting the Madonna in the cave, we will return in an hour and a half to the refuge for a comforting shower waiting for the evening, where we expect an excellent dinner, consisting of local products, all washed down with a good wine, then after the classic chat on the comfortable sofa in front of the fire of the fantastic fireplace in the dining room, we await the warm duvets of which the refuge and provided.
In the morning we will have breakfast and after the inevitable coffee we will be ready to return in an hour and a half to the machines.
N.B. The times and the schedule of this excursion will be decided according to the needs of the customer and the managers of the refuge.

Howard Stern is no longer fine with Clear Channel Communications--the radio giant has given him the boot.
The Federal Communications Commission hit the nation's largest radio chain with another $495,000 in proposed indecency fines for a Stern broadcast on April 9.

Vice President Mike Pence on Monday says he doesn't know if Trump has been tested for the coronavirus.
Former Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis issued a rare public rebuke of President Trump Tuesday over his decision to fire Glenn Fine, the Pentagon inspector general charged with overseeing implementation of the $2 trillion coronavirus stimulus package. “Mr. Fine is a public servant in the finest tradition of honest, competent governance,” Mattis told Yahoo News in an email. “In my years of extensive engagement with him as our Department of Defense's acting Inspector General, he proved to be a leader whose personal and managerial integrity were always of the highest order.”
At Sunday's White House briefing, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the longtime director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, suggested that hundreds of thousands — or even millions — of “silent carriers” may be unwittingly spreading the coronavirus across the United States because they don't realize they're infected. “It's somewhere between 25 and 50 percent” of the total, Fauci said. The first thing to note is that Fauci himself expressed a high degree of uncertainty about his own numbers.
The top human rights court in the Americas has found Peru responsible for the arbitrary detention and rape of an LGBT person. Azul Rojas Marín was stripped, hit and raped with a truncheon by three officers while in custody in 2008, her legal team said. The Inter-American Court of Human Rights said it was an act of torture.
Ethiopia, Africa's second most populous nation, and Liberia declared states of emergency on Wednesday to help curb the spread of the new coronavirus, a day after cases on the continent surged past 10,000. Various African governments have announced lockdowns or curfews in response to the virus, which was slow to reach many African countries but is now growing exponentially, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). As of Wednesday afternoon, Africa had over 10,900 confirmed infections and 550 deaths from the novel coronavirus, according to a Reuters tally based on government statements and WHO data.
Alex Brandon/AP US Surgeon General Jerome Adams adopted a positive note Tuesday, saying he felt "a lot more optimistic" that the United States would emerge "stronger" from its battle with the coronavirus. On Sunday, he said he expected the virus "to be our Pearl Harbor moment and our 9/11 moment, only it's not going to be localized, it's going to be happening all over the country." Adams credited social distancing for his hopeful demeanor, stressing that Americans "have the power to change the trajectory of this epidemic if we come together like we have after past tragedies in this country."
Iran demanded on Wednesday that U.S. oil production levels must be known before an upcoming OPEC meeting with Russia and others seeking to boost global energy prices. The meeting of the so-called OPEC+ is scheduled to be held Thursday after officials delayed it following Saudi Arabia criticizing Russia over its comments about the price collapse. A meeting in March saw OPEC and other nations led by Russia fail to agree to a production cut as the ongoing coronavirus pandemic has drastically cut demand for oil.
The coronavirus pandemic is affecting nearly everyone in the world in different ways, but for one Louisiana family, the deadly virus inflicted a particularly devastating blow. Four members of the same family died after contracting the virus, including the 86-year-old matriarch. Antoinette Franklin and three of her sons all died within days of each other.
Monday night, there was a brief but furious political struggle over the Wisconsin election planned for Tuesday. Democratic Governor Tony Evers ordered that the election be delayed until June 9, so as to allow time for the novel coronavirus pandemic to pass, and so the state could set up universal vote-by-mail systems. Right-wing Republican justices, who control the state Supreme Court by a 4-2 margin, including one of whom faces a liberal challenger in this very election (though he did recuse himself on this vote), immediately overturned his order.
There are many lessons to be learned from the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic. Were China a more civilized nation, this outbreak would have been stopped early, and with far less harm, inside and outside of China. As Marion Smith wrote in these pages on Sunday, China's first response was to clamp down on reports of the then-new disease that had appeared in Wuhan.
Trump used Monday's briefing of the coronavirus task force to lash out at several members of the press, despite having recently praised media coverage of his response to the crisis as “very fair.” After kicking off the briefing by praising his own administration for its response to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak, Trump opened the briefing up to questions, during which he refused to acknowledge any criticism of his handling of the pandemic that has brought the United States to a virtual standstill. One point of contention was a report released today by the inspector general of the federal Department of Health and Human Services.
There's precedent for health care workers developing their own psychiatric symptoms, said Dr. Daniel Yohanna, the interim chair of the department of psychiatry and behavioral neuroscience at the University of Chicago. We know that patients who have psychiatric disorders will have more problems during this period. We also know health care workers, from data out of Singapore, have increased numbers of posttraumatic stress disorders, depression and anxiety,” Yohanna said.
At the start of what is expected to be the deadliest week of the coronavirus pandemic in the United States, the White House tried to offer some hope that measures to contain the spread were working. The virus killed 1,264 over 24 hours in the U.S. as of 2:05 am ET on Tuesday, according to NBC New's tracker. Meanwhile China, where the pandemic broke out, claimed that not a single new death was reported, and the city of Wuhan in Hubei province, where the new virus was first identified, prepared for lockdown measures to be lifted.
India's financial hub Mumbai is set to extend lockdown measures until at least April 30 as authorities race to expand testing to stem the spread of coronavirus cases in the city, three senior officials said. A 21-day nationwide lockdown that Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared in late March to fight the epidemic is officially set to end on April 14. The Mumbai municipal authority and the state government in the western state of Maharashtra, of which Mumbai is the capital, both declined to comment.
Sweden is resisting international trends by not implementing a lockdown or strict social distancing measures to fight the coronavirus. Researchers and scientists in Sweden have criticized the government's decision to allow businesses to remain open. More than 2,000 experts signed an open letter calling for stronger action, and some fear that a surge in coronavirus deaths is imminent.
Coronavirus will peak in the Golden State on April 17, when an estimated 70 people will die, new modeling predicts. In California brings you stories and information from newsrooms across the USA TODAY Network and beyond to keep you safe and informed. California's early action on social distancing measures means far fewer people here will die than in states like New York, which acted about a week later than the Golden State in ordering people to shelter in place, and even the small state of Massachusetts, where no shelter-in-place order exists.
A man fatally stabbed three people and wounded a fourth at a Tennessee travel center Tuesday morning before a deputy shot and killed him, authorities said. The Knox County Sheriff's Office responded to a call at the Pilot Travel Center off Interstate 40 to find a person with stab wounds outside the store and a man armed with a knife in the parking lot, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said in a statement. Witnesses identified the man as the suspect and he refused deputies' demands to drop the weapon, the bureau said.
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has approved the withdrawal of 1 billion euros from the country's sovereign wealth fund to help fight the coronavirus epidemic, President Hassan Rouhani's official website said on Monday.
Dr. Deborah Birx, one of the two leading medical experts on the White House coronavirus task force, said that out of deference to social distancing rules she had stayed away from her daughter's house — despite her 10-month-old granddaughter having registered a fever of 105 degrees over the weekend. Birx said the child, who is recovering, probably had roseola, a common childhood infection, not COVID-19. Birx, who meets daily with President Trump and Vice President Pence, said she has been vigilant about avoiding social contact “because of you two.”
China has reported no new deaths from coronavirus anywhere in the country, for the first time since the beginning of the outbreak. For months now, every morning at 03:00, officials in China have put together the latest figures on the spread of the virus to share with the world. World Health Organization Director General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus hailed China for the "speed with which [it] detected the outbreak" and its "commitment to transparency".
The mounting number of New York's coronavirus deaths has stayed "effectively flat" over the past two days, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Monday, offering a glimmer of hope that the state may be at a peak even as the country braces for what the Trump administration is calling the "toughest week" yet in the fight against the pandemic. While the state has recorded 4,758 total deaths, with an additional 599 from the day before, it's only a slight uptick from the 594 added two days ago, Cuomo said, and shows a "possible flattening of the curve" that is "better than the increases we have seen."
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is facing criticism for creating a new coronavirus relief fund when about $500 million was lying unspent in an older fund, even as top businesses and celebrities pledge millions of dollars in new donations. Modi launched the "PM CARES" fund to provide relief to those affected by the coronavirus that has infected more than 5,000 people in India, and killed 149. The fund is expected to help millions of day labourers, many of whose lives were devastated by a nationwide lockdown ordered by Modi to stem the epidemic.
Jan Hetfleisch/Getty Images As the coronavirus pandemic continues to spread around the world at different rates, some countries have begun considering lifting lockdown measures. Several countries that were once hotspots for the disease, including Italy and China, have voiced cautious optimism about slowly lifting restrictions in place. Denmark and Austria have also said they are aiming to begin lifting their lockdowns after Easter, should the number of coronavirus cases continue to decline.
When the White House projected on March 31 that, even with social distancing measures, 100,000 to 240,000 Americans could die of COVID-19, the numbers were not necessarily shocking to those who had been paying attention. Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, had already said he projected between 100,000 to 200,000 U.S. deaths, and estimates by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington are not much different, projecting 81,766 American deaths by Aug. 4, as of Monday afternoon. White House is now setting the goal posts at 100-200K dead as a good job.
A gun attack in a mining area in the Democratic Republic of Congo has killed three Chinese nationals, China's official Xinhua news agency reported, citing the Chinese embassy in the mineral-rich central African country.


One of the more interesting and humorous stories of the offseason was Seahawks second round pick Golden Tate’s run-in with Bellevue, WA authorities at Top Pot Doughnuts earlier this offseason. Tate was issued a stern warning for trespassing after he snuck into the shop after hours. The shop is located on the ground level of the building in which Tate lives; around 3:00 a.m., Tate and a buddy slipped through a back door that residents can access (the employee was cleaning up and leaves the back door open).
Tate was apologetic afterwards but also offered up a very honest excuse: he was craving the maple bars.
"When I got here, that was one of the first things I had," Tate said. "They're irresistible. It was a foolish mistake that won't happen again, but if you ever want some maple bars, that's the place to go."
The Seahawks already have a partnership with Top Pot, selling the doughnuts at Qwest Field.
Coach Pete Carroll echoed the sentiments.
"No, I'm not disappointed at a guy being at a doughnut shop at 3 in the morning when they got maple bars like Top Pot has," Carroll said.
"However, under the circumstances, I think they were closed or something like that, trying to close, or whatever," the coach said. "That's definitely wrong. We've talked about it, addressed it. He's remorseful and all that. I do understand the lure of the maple bars."
Now, Top Pot Doughnuts is capitalizing on the publicity. According to the Seattle Post Intelligence, the company is releasing a new ad campaign: “Irresistible….but please wait utill we’re open.”

Everything we do takes learning along the way. That’s how I write and how I market. I learn as I go. I can’t think of anything we don’t have to just jump in and see how it works as we learn: school, socializing, learning an instrument (studying theory is great but until you DO it, you don’t actually learn it). Same with … love, marriage (for those still unmarried, trust me, it’s a huge learning process), even uh.. sex (shh) is a learning process. We also have to learn HOW to learn in order to do it productively. Those countries with better education rates are those who are best at teaching their kids how to learn, not only facts and figures. How is more important. I think we have come too far from that.
I’m a hands-on type (and if you’re giggling about now, take the image from the paragraph above out of your head, thank you). I learn by jumping in and figuring it out. That’s what I’m doing with all my promo, including my current book tour. I’m figuring it out as I go, along with some wonderful assistance from CRR Promotions! Organizing is not my thing. Luckily, CRR is good at it.
So I’m nearing the middle of my tour. What have I learned?
1- It can get exhausting.
I’m a writer. How hard should it be to write blog content based on my book? Turns out, harder than I expected, especially since CRR did such a great job and I have 16 blogs to write for in 31 days. Not a big deal, right? For someone who has done Nanowrimo for 5 years now and nearly doubled the required 50K last year to write 97,000 words in 30 days, 16 short blogs shouldn’t be a big deal.
Yes well, try taking a novel and writing 16 short essays about it, all with different topics. It’s more easily said than done. Still, I’m enjoying the process because after the two years I’ve taken to write and edit (and re-edit and rewrite and re-edit and…) the story, I’ve found it interesting to dissect my own work even further. It may sound strange to non-writers, but there are so many things that go into a story even the author doesn’t know until she looks back and dissects where that stuff came from. Writing is indeed therapy, especially when you force yourself to take such a hard look.
2- Some people will read your blog postings and not comment.
This is something to remember. Just as on email lists there are many more reading than posting, a lot of readers are hesitant to join in with comments. That doesn’t mean if you only get three comments, you had only three readers. And remember that your posts will (or should) stay in those blogs for a long time to come and can always get randomly pulled from search sites. It’s exposure. Unlike being in Vermont in the winter without a coat on, exposure is good for writers.
3- Form your blog content to your host blog as you can.
This is the hardest, I think. Trying to make your posts relate to your book and to your host can be tricky. Use your imagination. Writers know how to do that, at least fiction writers do. ;-) When you find one you can’t figure out how to mesh, throw in fun things such as character interviews, author interview, excerpts. If you have an excerpt that will fit in any way, use that. It can be a very small connection, such as mentioning the dog rescue part of your book on a host’s blog who owns dogs.
I’ll likely have more lessons to post later. For now, here are the direct links to each blog I’ve been in this month. And another HUGE thank you for the hosts! Remember that commenters can win a free printed, signed short story and anyone who comments on 8 or more blogs along the way has a chance to win a signed copy of Off The Moon!

Now that you've enjoyed some success following the Atkins Nutritional Approach™, let's talk about sustaining that weight loss. You undoubtedly know exactly how much weight you lost during the first 14 days of Induction. That number will help give you a general understanding of your personal degree of metabolic resistance. As you can see on the metabolic resistance table below, a woman who has 40 pounds to lose and sheds three pounds in two weeks during Induction has a high degree of metabolic resistance as compared to a woman with similar weight-loss goals who drops eight pounds.
^ Aronow WS, Fleg JL, Pepine CJ, Artinian NT, Bakris G, Brown AS, Ferdinand KC, Ann Forciea M, Frishman WH, Jaigobin C, Kostis JB, Mancia G, Oparil S, Ortiz E, Reisin E, Rich MW, Schocken DD, Weber MA, Wesley DJ, Harrington RA, Bates ER, Bhatt DL, Bridges CR, Eisenberg MJ, Ferrari VA, Fisher JD, Gardner TJ, Gentile F, Gilson MF, Hlatky MA, Jacobs AK, Kaul S, Moliterno DJ, Mukherjee D, Rosenson RS, Stein JH, Weitz HH, Wesley DJ (2011). "ACCF/AHA 2011 expert consensus document on hypertension in the elderly: a report of the American College of Cardiology Foundation Task Force on Clinical Expert Consensus Documents developed in collaboration with the American Academy of Neurology, American Geriatrics Society, American Society for Preventive Cardiology, American Society of Hypertension, American Society of Nephrology, Association of Black Cardiologists, and European Society of Hypertension". J Am Soc Hypertens. 5 (4): 259–352. doi:10.1016/j.jash.2011.06.001. PMID 21771565.
Optimally, the management approach results in weight loss based on a healthy diet and regular physical activity, which includes a combination of aerobic activity and resistance training, reinforced with behavioral therapy. Metformin, an insulin sensitizer, or a thiazolidinedione (eg, rosiglitazone, pioglitazone) may be useful. Weight loss of ≈ 7% may be sufficient to reverse the syndrome, but if not, each feature of the syndrome should be managed to achieve recommended targets; available drug treatment is very effective.
In the US, 84.1 million adults—more than 1 in 3—have prediabetes, and 90% of them don’t know they have it. Prediabetes is a serious health condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not high enough yet to be diagnosed as diabetes. Prediabetes increases your risk for type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. But through the CDC-led National Diabetes Prevention Program, you can learn practical, real-life changes that can cut your risk for developing type 2 diabetes by as much as 58% (71% if you’re 60 or older).
Exogenous administration of the other steroids used for therapeutic purposes also increases blood pressure (BP), especially in susceptible individuals, mainly by volume expansion. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may also have adverse effects on BP. NSAIDs block both cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and COX-2 enzymes. The inhibition of COX-2 can inhibit its natriuretic effect, which, in turn, increases sodium retention. NSAIDs also inhibit the vasodilating effects of prostaglandins and the production of vasoconstricting factors—namely, endothelin-1. These effects can contribute to the induction of hypertension in a normotensive or controlled hypertensive patient.
Blood pressure rises with aging and the risk of becoming hypertensive in later life is considerable. Several environmental factors influence blood pressure. High salt intake raises the blood pressure in salt sensitive individuals; lack of exercise, obesity, and depression can play a role in individual cases. The possible roles of other factors such as caffeine consumption, and vitamin D deficiency are less clear. Insulin resistance, which is common in obesity and is a component of syndrome X (or the metabolic syndrome), is also thought to contribute to hypertension. One review suggests that sugar may play an important role in hypertension and salt is just an innocent bystander.
At the end of the 3 week period most of the women ended up losing weight. However, 10 women did not lose any weight, and 1 of the women actually gained weight. This makes two points very clear. First, metabolism varies from person to person. Second, compensatory reactions can suppress the metabolism so much that even very low calorie diets are no longer effective even in the short-term.
The exact cause of metabolic syndrome is unknown. It is frequently influenced by diet and lifestyle, but also seems to be genetically driven. As stated, many features of metabolic syndrome are associated with “insulin resistance,” which causes cells to lose their sensitivity to insulin, the hormone needed to allow blood sugar to enter cells for use as fuel. As glucose levels in the blood increase, the pancreas tries to overcompensate and produce even more insulin, which ultimately leads to the characteristic symptoms of metabolic syndrome. When insulin levels spike, a stress response occurs that leads to elevations in cortisol, the body’s long-acting stress hormone. This in turn creates an inflammatory reaction that if left unchecked begins to damage healthy tissue.
Usually, diastolic pressures will mirror systolic pressures, but as people age, the diastolic pressure tends to level out. Then, the form of hypertension that involves primarily the systolic pressure (called isolated systolic hypertension) becomes more common. In general, the greater the blood pressure for extended periods of time, the greater the potential for damage.
The device being used is known as a “sphygmomanometer”, which uses an air-filled cuff wrapped around the upper arm, to obstruct the bloodflow into the arm. By releasing the air pumped into the cuff in small, incremental quantities, eventually blood is permitted to flow back into the arm, at which point, the pressure inside the cuff is measured, and which will equate to the pressure inside the arteries. This pressure, known as the systolic pressure, represents the pressure in the arteries during contraction of the heart. When the heart relaxes between beats the pressure drops, and is known as the diastolic pressure. Together, these two pressures are written as a ratio, and represents ones “blood pressure”.
Pregnant women with pre-eclampsia or toxemia require rest and close monitoring by their healthcare practitioner. The only cure for pre-eclampsia is delivery of the baby. In deciding when to deliver, the healthcare practitioner will try to minimize the risk to mother and baby from pre-eclampsia while allowing the baby the maximum time to mature. The time delay must be balanced against the increasing danger of seizures and organ damage in the mother, emergency conditions that can be lethal to both the baby and the mother.
Insulin is released into the blood by beta cells (β-cells), found in the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas, in response to rising levels of blood glucose, typically after eating. Insulin is used by about two-thirds of the body's cells to absorb glucose from the blood for use as fuel, for conversion to other needed molecules, or for storage. Lower glucose levels result in decreased insulin release from the beta cells and in the breakdown of glycogen to glucose. This process is mainly controlled by the hormone glucagon, which acts in the opposite manner to insulin.
The depth of this product really blew me away, as there are 138 pages of sample MRT workouts using all sorts of different equipment, or none at all. There are some great ideas in there for fitness professionals and fitness enthusiasts alike, and I'll certainly be implementing some of the techniques Jen describes in our programming at Cressey Performance. It's on sale at a great introductory price this week, so be sure to check it out.
The metabolic syndrome quintuples the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Type 2 diabetes is considered a complication of metabolic syndrome. In people with impaired glucose tolerance or impaired fasting glucose, presence of metabolic syndrome doubles the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. It is likely that prediabetes and metabolic syndrome denote the same disorder, defining it by the different sets of biological markers.
Recent research indicates prolonged chronic stress can contribute to metabolic syndrome by disrupting the hormonal balance of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA-axis). A dysfunctional HPA-axis causes high cortisol levels to circulate, which results in raising glucose and insulin levels, which in turn cause insulin-mediated effects on adipose tissue, ultimately promoting visceral adiposity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia and hypertension, with direct effects on the bone, causing "low turnover" osteoporosis. HPA-axis dysfunction may explain the reported risk indication of abdominal obesity to cardiovascular disease (CVD), type 2 diabetes and stroke. Psychosocial stress is also linked to heart disease. http://www.sandysidhumedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/nailahquote.png
The approximate prevalence of the metabolic syndrome in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) is 50%, with a prevalence of 37% in patients with premature coronary artery disease (age 45), particularly in women. With appropriate cardiac rehabilitation and changes in lifestyle (e.g., nutrition, physical activity, weight reduction, and, in some cases, drugs), the prevalence of the syndrome can be reduced.
For this reason, hypertension is known as the "silent killer," quietly increasing the risk of developing stroke, heart disease, heart attack, kidney damage, and blindness. The greater the blood pressure for extended periods, the greater the potential for damage. That is why it is important for people to have their blood pressure checked on a regular basis.
Approximately half of individuals with hypertension have OSA, and approximately half with OSA have hypertension. Ambulatory BP monitoring normally reveals a "dip" in BP of at least 10% during sleep. However, if a patient is a "nondipper," the chances that the patient has OSA is increased. Nondipping is thought to be caused by frequent apneic/hypopneic episodes that end with arousals associated with marked spikes in BP that last for several seconds. Apneic episodes are associated with striking increases in sympathetic nerve activity and enormous elevations of BP. Individuals with sleep apnea have increased cardiovascular mortality, in part likely related to the high incidence of hypertension.
In most people, high blood pressure rarely causes any signs or symptoms. It's possible to have it for many years without realizing it. Often, it only becomes apparent during a routine health checkup. Rarely, even when levels are life-threatening, high blood pressure may cause only a few symptoms, such as headaches, dizziness, or frequent nosebleeds.
Secondary hypertension can be caused by kidney disease; sleep apnea; coarctation of the aorta; disease of the blood vessels supplying the kidneys; various endocrine gland disorders; the use of oral contraceptives; smoking; alcohol intake of more than two drinks per day; chronic use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs); and antidepressant use.
There is debate regarding whether obesity or insulin resistance is the cause of the metabolic syndrome or if they are consequences of a more far-reaching metabolic derangement. A number of markers of systemic inflammation, including C-reactive protein, are often increased, as are fibrinogen, interleukin 6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and others. Some have pointed to a variety of causes, including increased uric acid levels caused by dietary fructose.
Here’s how it works: Each time you hit the gym, you work your whole body with circuits or pairs of multijoint, free-weight exercises that put the body through a full range of basic functional movements such as squatting, deadlifting, lunging, pulling, pushing and twisting. Because you exercise your entire body every workout, your metabolism has to work overtime for many hours afterward to help you recover. This leads to an intense, round-the-clock fat burn that you can’t get from programs that isolate muscle groups.
If you’ve been told that you have metabolic syndrome (sometimes called cardiometabolic syndrome), it means that you have several of these health problems. Together, they put you at much greater risk for heart attack, stroke and type 2 diabetes. In general, someone who has metabolic syndrome is twice as likely to develop heart disease and five times as likely to develop diabetes as a person who doesn’t have this grouping of health issues. Unfortunately, amid rising obesity rates in the U.S., this syndrome is becoming more common. Alarmingly, one out of 10 teens may have it.
People who have metabolic syndrome or are at risk for it may need to take medicine as treatment. This is especially true if diet and other lifestyle changes have not made a difference. Your doctor may prescribe medicine to help lower blood pressure, improve insulin metabolism, lower LDL cholesterol and raise HDL cholesterol, increase weight loss, or some combination of these.
Emergency department visits for hypertension with complications and secondary hypertension also rose, from 71.2 per 100,000 population in 2006 to 84.7 per 100,000 population in 2011, while again, admission rates fell, dropping from 77.79% in 2006 to 68.75% in 2011. The in-hospital mortality rate for admitted patients dropped as well, from 1.95% in 2006 to 1.25% in 2011.
Type 2 diabetes was also previously referred to as non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), or adult-onset diabetes mellitus (AODM). In type 2 diabetes, patients can still produce insulin, but do so relatively inadequately for their body's needs, particularly in the face of insulin resistance as discussed above. In many cases this actually means the pancreas produces larger than normal quantities of insulin. A major feature of type 2 diabetes is a lack of sensitivity to insulin by the cells of the body (particularly fat and muscle cells).
This is an incredibly important, but commonly overlooked factor that heavily influences a metabolic resistance training program's success. While you can usually get by with minimal equipment with a MRT program, body weight only can get old very quickly. Fortunately, just adding a kettlebell, band, suspension trainer, barbell, or other implement can quickly expand your exercise selection pool. It's important to realize that a little bit can go a long way, especially if you're training in a busy gym and can't monopolize pieces of equipment for too long without someone walking off with them! https://www.healthshare.com.au/storage/avatars/35489.png.60x60_q85_box-0,0,256,256.jpg
The word mellitus (/məˈlaɪtəs/ or /ˈmɛlɪtəs/) comes from the classical Latin word mellītus, meaning "mellite" (i.e. sweetened with honey; honey-sweet). The Latin word comes from mell-, which comes from mel, meaning "honey"; sweetness; pleasant thing, and the suffix -ītus, whose meaning is the same as that of the English suffix "-ite". It was Thomas Willis who in 1675 added "mellitus" to the word "diabetes" as a designation for the disease, when he noticed the urine of a diabetic had a sweet taste (glycosuria). This sweet taste had been noticed in urine by the ancient Greeks, Chinese, Egyptians, Indians, and Persians.
What is a normal blood pressure? Blood pressure is essential to life because it forces the blood around the body, delivering all the nutrients it needs. Here, we explain how to take your blood pressure, what the readings mean, and what counts as low, high, and normal. The article also offers some tips on how to maintain healthy blood pressure.

Some cases of diabetes are caused by the body's tissue receptors not responding to insulin (even when insulin levels are normal, which is what separates it from type 2 diabetes); this form is very uncommon. Genetic mutations (autosomal or mitochondrial) can lead to defects in beta cell function. Abnormal insulin action may also have been genetically determined in some cases. Any disease that causes extensive damage to the pancreas may lead to diabetes (for example, chronic pancreatitis and cystic fibrosis). Diseases associated with excessive secretion of insulin-antagonistic hormones can cause diabetes (which is typically resolved once the hormone excess is removed). Many drugs impair insulin secretion and some toxins damage pancreatic beta cells. The ICD-10 (1992) diagnostic entity, malnutrition-related diabetes mellitus (MRDM or MMDM, ICD-10 code E12), was deprecated by the World Health Organization (WHO) when the current taxonomy was introduced in 1999. http://www.sandysidhumedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/clairequote1.jpg
Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by high blood sugar (glucose) levels that result from defects in insulin secretion, or its action, or both. Diabetes mellitus, commonly referred to as diabetes (as it will be in this article) was first identified as a disease associated with "sweet urine," and excessive muscle loss in the ancient world. Elevated levels of blood glucose (hyperglycemia) lead to spillage of glucose into the urine, hence the term sweet urine.
Current strategies for controlling cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol, are not widely used as standard practice. CDC developed this guide to provide health professionals with evidence-based strategies for effective and sustainable CVD prevention, including health and economic impact and potential for reducing health disparities.
Dietary changes: The health care provider might recommend a diet that includes more vegetables (especially leafy green vegetables), fruits, low-fat dairy products, and fiber-rich foods, and fewer carbohydrates, fats, processed foods, and sugary drinks. He or she also might recommend preparing low-sodium dishes and not adding salt to foods. Watch out for foods with lots of hidden salt (like bread, sandwiches, pizza, and many restaurant and fast-food options).

I had a fibroscan done last week and based on that and the 10 tubes of blood drawn that day the doctor advised to get a liver biopsy.
I’m hoping to get some advise on whether a biopsy is necessary.
I was referred to a liver doctor based on an MRI that showed possible fatty liver. Upon my visit to the liver doctor he had me get a fibroscan and blood work done that same day. Fibroscan result was a 7.6kpa median and 167 cap median. Blood result he said showed elevated enzymes. He also said not fatty liver but something about scarring. I’m not sure what any of these results/numbers mean but I’m a little concerned getting a liver biopsy and if it’s necessary.
Im including some added info if that helps. I’m 30 yrs old male. I’ve my gallbladder removed about 8 years ago. I also don’t have a weight issue. Weight has ranged between 130-150 lbs past 10 years. I also rarely drink alcohol. I took my first drink about 3 years ago. I don’t drink any beer or wine at all.
I would greatly appreciate any advise and help figuring this results out.


Optical filter evaluation
Reducing reliance on the in line arrangement PMTs
Placing a second fluorescence collection lens at 180o from the first one (this is more difficult in most instruments)
The thicker the glass the less light transmitted.
Problems with glass - UV light will not pass
In UV light system use minimum optics.
Light loss by optics
Glass can absorb UV light and can fluoresce when illuminated at that wavelength.
For excitation > 450nm, you can use glass filters, < 450nm use quartz or silica filters.
Plastic optical filters are unsatisfactory
Use a population of appropriately stained particles and identify which filters give the maximum signal.
Spectrofluorometer amd spectrophotometers can be used as tools for assessment of optical filters.
Problems with filters are more likely due to using the wrong filters
Filters degrade overtime, so they have to be changed eventually
Buy high quality filters, not cheap ones
To obtain acceptable blocking of the light outside the pass band, most interference filters incorporate some absorptive elements as well as dielectric layers
More hints .
You have to be careful while using short pass filters, specially with short wavelength, because of the transmission ability of these filters for long wavelengths (they behave like notch filters). If you have long red/near IR signals they will pass
Use the least number of filters necessary to reduce signal loss
Absorption result in conversion of light into heat. Thus, laser beams hitting colour glass filters may destroy these filters .
Filters have a finite lifetime.
In measuring weak fluorescence, we usually use field stop and interference filters behind the field stop to remove the stray light.
The shiny part (mirror side) of the filter should face the light source (collection lens)


Before turning, after the recession of 2008, toward other work--including my current work in instruction and political science content, and communications--I had been engaged in work involving community development and community organization. Today, I maintain an interest in this area, and am not shy about sharing the work I did. If you have an interest, in any fashion, about harnessing the power of social networks and social capital in the betterment on cities and communities, the work is worth a read.
The oldest work, from my dissertation at the University of Alabama, concerns the development of Trinity Gardens, a neighborhood that lies mostly in the city of Mobile AL, with a small section sitting behind the city limits of Prichard AL, one of America's poorest urban municipalities. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, a women's group in this largely African-American, lower-income neighborhood joined forces with previously existing area civic groups in anti-crime efforts. A city councilman came to support their efforts and formed a neighborhood policing committee to further the group's aims. The meetings first involved discussions of crime only, but soon involved discussions of general community improvement. By the mid-2000s, the neighborhood hosted a new community center, an exercise trail, and a performing arts amphitheater, community library and health clinic, and could brag of decreased crime and blight. The segment in Prichard, however, stagnated.
I followed up my interest in social capital research in post-Katrina New Orleans, with a consideration of how community-based development, sparked by perceived and real threats to the future of some flooded or lightly flooded efforts, spurred the city's recovery. The research showed, however, that the neighborhoods did not have strong citywide ties. Existing literature suggested that this would limit the city's recovery in many areas, especially in less connected, lower-income areas. Today, a decade after Katrina, these efforts continue to have reverberations in the city's politics. However, the Crescent City never adopted a neighborhood-based planning or development system or organization, of a type now commonly found throughout the U.S.

14th August is just a week and few days ahead! so hopefully many people would be in search of a Pakistani Flag map image to use it as their avatar on various websites like facebook or orkut.
I have designed a image myself (as i wasn’t able to find similar one on google). The difference b/w this one and the other’s is the presence of Kashmir in the map. Below are those images:
1. Pakistani Map + Flag (with kashmir) i created (click on image for bigger image):
2. Pakistani Map + Flag (without kashmir) not to be used (click on image for bigger image):
1. Image that i used to create the first one (click on image for bigger image):
Hopefully you would like the image created by me.
