Live Healthy - Live Pain-Free for Longer | 21C Woman

Sep 25, 2012 by admin

Even though the average lifespan for an average person has been slowly climbing over the past number of decades, surpassing 78 years from 74 years in 1980 in the Unites States, this does not necessarily implies that we are living a healthy lifestyle. Diseases like heart disorders, diabetes and other chronic ailments have grown proportionally among people who are just not old yet.

?Lengthening of morbidity? ? this means, we are actually living longer with these chronic diseases and health disorders, not something that most of us would hope for with longer life expectancy.

Fitness During Middle Age Can Slow Aging

However, Archives of Internal Medicine suggests that a little thinking ahead could change this scenario, and a little fitness in middle-age can actually reshape the flow of aging for our population, even if the people have not exercised previously.

Researchers at the Cooper Institute in Dallas and University of Texas South-western Medical Centre have reviewed medical records of 18,670 middle-aged people, people with an average age of 49, people who were not diagnosed with a chronic disease prior to a check-up, which required them to take a treadmill test to record their aerobic fitness. Researchers then divided the group into five fitness categories.

Going through the Medicare claim records of the same individuals from 1999 to 2009, by which most participants were in their late 70s or 80s. The results showed that others who were the least fit in their middle-age were more likely to have serious chronic issues in their early aging life.

Extending, Not Preventing

However, adults who have been found to be the fit in their mid-age developed the same health condition, but their problems appeared considerably later in life than that of the less fit cohort. So people who were aerobically fit suffered from chronic diseases in the last five years of their life, instead of the more common last 20 years.

According to Dr. Benjamin Willis, a staff epidemiologist at the Cooper Institute, being physically fit in your mid-age shortens the time someone actually spends suffering from an injury, which leaves the former free of chronic diseases gutting his post-retirement years, which improves the quality of life.

Interestingly, the main observation in the study was that the effects of fitness helped in delaying illness than prolonging your life. Nevertheless, the fitness group tends to live longer owing to their illness free life.

Of course, aging is completely dependent on the individual and is a complicated process, even in the presence or absence of fitness in the person?s life; it definitely is an important element in determining the lifespan of an individual. While genetics and luck to a certain extent can be held as a cause for aerobic fitness, much of a person?s fitness capability depends upon his physical activity in their middle-age.

Exercise, Do Not Hesitate

Hence, exercising in your middle-age will give you aging benefits over less fit people, who lead a sedentary life and tend to get chronic diseases in their late middle age. The?decision to lead a healthy post-retirement, or having chronic diseases is in your control.

Dr. Willis said, one does not have to become an athlete to achieve such a simple goal, but a little time scheduled for exercises in the day can actually help the individual lead a happy and disease free life during their old age. Hence, it?s all a matter of exercising that can make all the difference.

Greece sees bailout extension costing up to 15 billion euros

ATHENS (Reuters) - Greece would need an extra 13-15 billion euros to finance a two-year extension to its bailout but is confident of bridging that gap without burdening European taxpayers, Finance Minister Yannis Stournaras told Reuters on Tuesday.

Greece's new conservative-led government wants its lenders to grant it two more years to push through austerity cuts so that its recession-hit economy has time to recover, but had so far not specified the price tag for such an extension.

"We estimate the funding gap that would be created if we get the two-year extension at 13-15 billion euros," Stournaras said.

Greek officials have previously said such a gap could be covered through short-term debt or by seeking lower interest rates, or via a rollover of debt held by the ECB - avoiding forcing euro zone governments to stump up more money for Greece.

Stournaras also confirmed that the country's fiscal shortfall regarding its 2013 and 2014 targets remained at 13.5 billion euros - the value of budget measures Athens has been discussing with its lenders from the European Union and International Monetary Fund for weeks.

Earlier, a deputy finance minister said Greece may seek a rollover of its ECB-held bonds or try to raise additional short-term debt to plug any potential financing gaps in the coming years.

If Greece's budget gap or privatization revenues fall short of the targets set out in its second bailout, the country might face a financing gap, deputy finance minister Christos Staikouras said in a written response to a lawmaker dated September 19. He did not specify how big that gap might be.

"With a view to covering the financing gap, and given that the eurosystem is holding 28 billion euros of Greek bonds maturing in 2013-2016, the possibility of rolling over the maturities will be examined," Staikouras said.

The ECB has so far refused to face any losses on the bonds it has purchased over past years to prop up Greek debt.

Staikouras also said that Greece might have to raise more money from debt markets in 2015 and 2016 than the 10.6 billion euros foreseen in its bailout agreement earlier this year.

EU officials have speculated Greece might need a second debt restructuring to get its finances back on track.

A Ray of Hope

Every day until the election, Slate will offer up one reason to be optimistic for your candidate.

Today?s Good News for Obama: Nine words: ?There are 11 different ways to win without Ohio.? They were spoken by Fox News contributor and super PAC Hercules Karl Rove on Monday night, as he assured conservative viewers that Mitt Romney could become the first Republican to ever?ever?lose Ohio and win the election. Rove was just accepting reality. Most polls now have Obama?s numbers in the Buckeye State running slightly ahead of his national numbers. Why? As Alec McGillis explains, the auto bailout and the state?s growing economy have kept an outsize number of voters keen on Obama, while Mitt Romney can?t get off a ?stop the war on coal? message that affects a smaller part of the electorate.

Tesla unveils network of free, solar 'Superchargers' for Model S

6 hrs.

Devin Coldewey

Tesla Motors has answered critics of the range and energy source of electric cars by establishing a network of solar-powered charge stations throughout California, with plans to expand to the rest of the U.S. And if you have a Model S, charging is free forever.

For years it has been an oft-repeated objection to electric cars that while they may not themselves produce carbon emissions, their electricity often is produced by carbon-producing power plants. It's a legitimate problem, though for now unavoidable ? unless, as Tesla demonstrates, you circumvent the power grid altogether.

That's what they've decided to do with their Supercharger stations, a network of solar-powered chargers that will refill your Tesla Model S free of charge. And what's more, they charge at four or five times the rate of even a high-capacity home charger, so you can get 150 miles of range back in half an hour.?

The Superchargers aren't intended for everyday charging, but for long-distance driving: they're?spaced between 100 and 200 miles apart, distant but?well within the 250-mile range of the Model S. At the moment the network is limited to California, but Musk was confident that within two years, much of the U.S. (as well as some of Europe and Asia) will be covered:

As Tesla CEO Elon Musk said at the announcement, "If you want to go from LA to New York, if you pack food and stay with friends, you can leave your wallet at home."

The other nice thing about these stations is that not only do they power themselves, but they're designed to collect more solar energy than they expend on charging vehicles. This extra energy they actually contribute to the grid, so they're a net positive, not a draw.

Tesla's Model S is their newest vehicle, aimed at commuters and families. At around?$50,000 to start, it competes with Lexus and BMW, not Honda and Subaru, but that hasn't stopped it from pre-selling thousands of units. They're only just this month starting to roll out to buyers, so there aren't many on the road just yet.

The Supercharger stations in and around Los Angeles and San Francisco are online?right now, and others will surely be announced by Tesla when they go live. More information can be found at Tesla's press release, and?Engadget has embedded a video of the event.

Cutting through the genomic thicket in search of disease variants

ScienceDaily (Sep. 24, 2012) ? In the early stages of that vast undertaking known as the Human Genome Project, enthusiasm ran high. The enterprise would be costly and laborious but the clinical rewards, unprecedented. Once the complete blueprint of life was unlocked, the genetic underpinnings for a broad range of human maladies would be laid bare, allowing custom-tailored diagnosis and treatment and revolutionizing the field of medicine.

Or so it was thought.

Instead, "scientists were confronted with thousands of mutations in the collection of proteins in personal genomes, with no ready guide about what they meant in terms of health or disease," according to Sudhir Kumar, a researcher who directs the Center for Evolutionary Medicine and Informatics at Arizona State Unive rsity's Biodesign Institute.

Kumar explains that scientists and clinicians have turned to computer tools that sift meaningful variants from the glut of mutations they face. But the accuracy of these tools may be low, says Kumar.

Now Kumar, Li Liu and their colleagues describe a new technique that can reduce the rate of false positives in such tests, thereby increasing their reliability. The group's results recently appeared in the advanced online issue of the journal Nature Methods.

The new technique, labeled EvoD (for Evolutionary Diagnosis) capitalizes in part on comparative genomics -- an examination of DNA positions across evolutionary time and between diverse species -- to analyze the likely significance of particular human gene variants. EvoD was shown to work much better for positions that are the most evolutionarily conserved in the protein-coding portion of the human genome -- known as the exome.

As co-author Liu explains, researchers have taken a keen interest in mutations occurring at ultra-conserved sites in the exome, as these are usually the most critical in terms of protein function. Variants that are functionally damaging at such locations -- where evolution is highly resistant to change -- are likely to have profound effects on health, often producing so-called Mendelian diseases, which negatively impact health. EvoD performs better than existing methods in diagnosing these mutations.

The Center for Evolutionary Medicine and Informatics now provides EvoD as an online tool and genomic researchers have begun to use it already. The new technique and the tool pave the way for a deeper understanding of genomic variance and advances the quest for personalized disease diagnoses.

PFT: Tate insists he caught ball

Getty Images

The standard for determining whether a call should be overturned by replay review, as once explained by former Packers and Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren, is whether 50 drunks in a bar would agree that it was a bad call.

As to the final play from last night?s Packers-Seahawks game, millions of sober people believe that the ruling on the field should have been overturned.? Those millions don?t include the league office ? and they definitely don?t include Seahawks coach Pete Carroll.

?They said that the call was correct, and after review [it] was correct . . . because it was a simultaneous catch,? Carroll said Tuesday, on ESPN 710?s Brock & Salk.? ?So that?s it.? And that?s the NFL who?s in charge of the whole thing.? That?s not the officials on the field, that?s the league office said that.? And so, you know, it?s hard for everybody to accept, but that?s what it is and I don?t care.?

Regardless of whether there was indisputable visual evidence to reverse the touchdown, Carroll seems to think that the call as made on the field was the correct call.

?They were right on the point, looking right at it,? Carroll said of the officials.?? ?Standing right over the thing.? And they reviewed it.? Whether they missed the push or not, obviously they missed the push in there, in the battle for the ball.? But that stuff goes on all time.? They see it, they don?t see it.? That happens with the official officials.? And so the result is they called it, the league backed it up, game over, we win.?

Carroll may feel that way, some of his players may feel that way, and some of the team?s fans may feel that way.? But most objective observers believe it was a bad call, that it should have been overturned, and that the NFL?s stubborn insistence on winning the negotiation with the locked-out officials has created one of the most dubious moments in league history.

Congratulations, NFL.? We can only wonder what the encore will be.

Mark Webber hit with 20-second time penalty for passing Kamui Kobayashi illegally ? Formula 1 news

Red Bull Racing driver Mark Webber has faced a 20-second time penalty for overtaking Kamui Kobayashi of Sauber illegally in the 2012 Singapore Grand Prix.

Webber went wide while passing Kobayashi at turn 7 and had all his four tyres off the track. Therefore, he was hit by the 20-second penalty on the discretion of the race stewards for gaining an unfair benefit during the race.

?Notwithstanding that the distance by which car 2 left the circuit was minimal, advantage was gained hence a breach did in fact occur,? the stewards explained.

Furthermore, after being hit by the penalty, the Australian driver dropped from 10^th to 11^th position and could not be able to score even a single point in the previous race at Marina Bay Street Circuit.

Later on, when he was asked about the incident, he said that he felt nothing wrong with the move. He also said that such occurrences happen because the competition is very tough and every driver in the field tries his best to gain positions in the race.

?We were racing pretty hard and fair I think but we used all we could down there so I think it was a good clean fight,? said Webber.

In addition, he said that he was performing quite convincingly and was contended with his pace but the second safety car spoiled his timing due to which he went aggressive later on.

?I wasn't too bad pace wise,? he said. ?The strategy was going alright, but the second safety car really hurt us and put us to the back of the queue. Around here, fighting and looking after your tyres is a bit of a mess. It's a shame.?

On the other hand, his teammate, Sebastian Vettel claimed an incredible victory after Lewis Hamilton of McLaren retired because of a gearbox issue. Additionally, the veteran German performed amazingly well and successfully secured his second win of the current season after taking a start from third grid position.

Over and above, the Aussie said that although he could not score any point in the night race, nonetheless, he is feeling happy that Vettel scored some competitive points for the team.

Benefits:

Customer rents a whole solitary server
Web page has accessibility to all bodily useful resource and connectivity
Sometimes includes managed internet hosting

Features:

Scope for finish management around server configuration
No opposition for bandwidth useful resource
No levels of competition for processor useful resource
Accessibility to overall server?s disk room
No protection threats from other sites/partitions in the server

Insufficient customisation if making use of shared servers

Colocation

In certain cases termed as Co-location or just Colo, this manner of internet hosting enables valued clients to enjoy the main advantages of an information heart position but nonetheless keep possession with the equipment.

Functionality:

Customer purchases and owns server(s)
Servers are housed in the details middle
Shopper rents place for servers

Many benefits:

Bodily stability of knowledge heart area
Bodily basic safety of details centre position
Accessibility to superior bandwidth connections
Retained price for the equipment as corporation belongings

Managed Internet hosting

Managed internet hosting can be a model of internet hosting just where the elements make reference to the aid the customer gets instead compared to the form of server it includes and thus it may well include any kind of hosting/server put together that include shared or devoted. A totally managed system is appropriately the deluxe offer for clientele with larger sized budgets along with a scarcity of skills in-house.

Capabilities (sometimes):

Specialist guidance and recommendations
Specialists around to build configuration adjustments
General performance checking
Regularly a devoted server

Positive factors (dependent over the sort of assist):

Obtain with the know-how and understanding of internet hosting supplier
Spherical the clock assist in the event that of overall performance concerns or downtime
Proactive and reactive guidance for modifications within the site or site use
Enable to appropriately scale and configure system

Negatives:

Will are typically high priced compared to self-managed packages

iPhone 5 review

Thinner. Lighter. Faster. Simpler. The moment the iPhone 5 was unveiled we knew that it was checking off all the right boxes, folding in all the improvements and refinements people have been demanding over the past year -- yet plenty of folks still went to their respective social networks to type out their bitter disappointment. iPhone upgrade ennui seemed to be sweeping the nation, a sentiment that appeared to quickly dissipate when it came time for people to vote with their wallets.

The iPhone 5 is here -- or will be soon, anyway -- and it's every bit the device that people were asking for when the iPhone 4S came out. Its new design has less mass yet leaves room for a larger display and LTE wireless, all while increasing battery life. In nearly every respect, this is an upgrade over the 4S that came before, though it arrives almost a year later than many had hoped. Is it too late to keep pace with the rapidly iterating Android offerings, or is it so good it was worth waiting for? The answer lies below.

Google+ reports 100 million active monthly users

5 hrs.

Suzanne Choney

Google says its one-year-old social network?now has more than 100 million monthly active users, but if you think you remember hearing a higher number recently, you're right.

The search giant said at its Google I/O developers conference in June that it had 150 million users who sign on once or more a month.

Vic Gundotra, Google's senior vice president, engineering, said on his own Google+ page Monday that "I?m happy to report that we have just crossed 100,000,000 monthly active users on Google+ (plus.google.com?and mobile app)."

Gundotra prefaced that stat by saying that this week the company "hit an important milestone ? over 400,000,000 people have upgraded to Google+. It was only a year ago that we opened public sign-up, and we couldn?t have imagined that so many people would join in just 12 months."

All well and good, but what accounts for the discrepancy in the monthly active user figures?

A Google spokesman told NBC News it's not that the company has changed its numbers. Rather, he said, there are two different ways monthly active users are measured.?

Google+ has 100 million monthly active users when Google+ itself is measured as a?destination on the Web or mobile?by users.

But, when Google+ is viewed as?a "social layer" ??which some say it should be described as, versus a social network?? it has 150 million monthly active users. What's a social layer? It might include those who used?Google+ circles or Android users "who plus oned an app," Gundotra said in explaining the difference.

In other words, the Google spokesman told NBC News, "You're engaging with a feature of Google+, as a G+?user, but not necessarily in plus.google.com," the Google+ site.

Numbers game? Perhaps. Still, Google+ faces a battle in a crowded social media world. As one fan, Kyle Beatty, noted in comments under Gundotra's posting, "400,000,000 people and only two of my friends are using it?...?sparingly. I love the platform, but I can't get any of my family and friends to use it. Any suggestions??"
