After reading that, I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say that not only do I wish Charlie had died, but that you were there with him. 

For clarity's sake........by "you" I really meant YOU, not just SunMo.  But mostly you.

LOL - did you just quote yourself to dispute yourself?

I love you guys.

Seems Missouri is trying to stop the criminal training programs that our prisons have become...

http://www.examiner.com/a-1128538~Mo__Tries_New_Approach_on_Teen_Offenders.html?cid=rss-US

Some messed up stats but Missouri seems to have something right...

-About 8.6 percent of teens who complete Missouri's program are incarcerated in adult prisons within three years of release, according to 2006 figures. (In New York, 75 percent are re-arrested as adults, 42 percent for a violent felony. California's rates are similar.)

-Last year, 7.3 percent of teen offenders released from Missouri's youth facilities were recommitted to juvenile centers for new offenses. Texas, which spends about 20 percent more to keep a child in juvenile corrections, has a recidivism rate that tops 50 percent.

-No Missouri teens have committed suicide while in custody since 1983, when the state began overhauling its system. From 1995 to 1999 alone, at least 110 young people killed themselves in juvenile facilities nationwide, according to figures from the National Center on Institutions and Alternatives.

i luv me sum fish oil.

My pops swears by fish oil.  He got it for his heart, one awsome side effect is not only does it cut down on plaque formations on your arteries, but his dentist was shocked by him not having any plaque in his teeth for the past year.  Ususally the dental assistant gives him crap about flossing and how much plaque he has, but since he started taking omega 3, he has none. 

I'm going to start taking it because if it prevents plaque in your teeth and heart, i would assume it would prevent plaque from forming in your brain which is supposedly the cause of Alzheimers.  We have a family history of it, so i might as well start early with prevention. 

I hope (and assume) you're being sarcastic.  My head has a palm print where I just slapped it reading that.

Fish Oil May Help Prevent Alzheimer's

Friday, December 28, 2007; 12:00 AM

FRIDAY, Dec. 28 (HealthDay News) -- The omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil might play an important role in preventing Alzheimer's disease, according to a research team at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).

Publishing in the Dec. 26 issue of theJournal of Neuroscience, the scientists demonstrated that the omega-3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) increases the production of LR11, a protein that is found at reduced levels in Alzheimer's patients. LR11 is known to destroy the protein that forms the plaques associated with the disease, the researchers explained.

The plaques are actually a buildup of a protein called beta amyloid, which is thought to be toxic to brain cells. Higher levels of LR11 prevent the manufacturing of the toxic proteins, which is why researchers believe the low levels found in the brains of Alzheimer's patients may be a contributing factor to the disease.

Alzheimer's is a debilitating neurodegenerative disease that causes memory loss, dementia, personality change and ultimately death. The Alzheimer's Association estimates that 5.1 million Americans are currently afflicted with the disease. The association predicts that may increase to between 11 million and 16 million people by 2050.

The researchers tested the effects of DHA by adding it directly to human and animal neurons grown in the laboratory.

"We found that even low doses of DHA increased the levels of LR11 in rat neurons, while dietary DHA increased LR11 in brains of rats or older mice that had been genetically altered to develop Alzheimer's disease," lead researcher Greg Cole, associate director of UCLA's Alzheimer Disease Research Center, said in a prepared statement.

Fatty acids such as DHA are considered essential fatty acids, because the body cannot make them from other sources and must obtain them through diet. Years of research have shown that DHA is the most abundant essential fatty acid in the brain, Cole said, and that it is critical to fetal and infant brain development. Studies have also linked low levels of DHA in the brain to cognitive impairment and have shown that lower levels may increase oxidative stress in the brains of Alzheimer's patients.

The research team acknowledged that their work does not identify a dosage of DHA that people could take to prevent Alzheimer's, but they recommend eating more fatty fish or taking a supplement. They did not recommend taking DHA to try to slow the progression of Alzheimer's.

It's an interesting study, but hardly a seminal finding.  Plus, it may not translate to humans very well.

I'd also be interested to see who funded these trials, before making a determination on their validity.

[Seabiscuit36]

True, but i saw that on the news and figured I had to post.  shtein, i was just farging around about the alzheimers making a correlation to plaque build up.  Either way, good news if true, if wrong its not hurting anyone other than wallets

[Sgt PSN]

And fish. 

[phattymatty]

you said seminal.

[PhillyPhreak54]

I take Fish Oil every day. Along with several other supplements...

She still takes her fish oil

[MadMarchHare]

Is that why she has that fat ass?

Seriously, guys, beware of the supplements.  They're completely unregulated, and several have been yanked off the market because they killed people.

Kill People...Superhuman Strength...Whats the difference
