Have you listened to the podcast on Helen Keller? We strongly recommend that you do before diving into the life of the woman we discuss in this minicast, it will make the experience just a little richer. Go ahead, we'll wait.
While doing research for the Helen Keller podcast, we both gained an admiration for Anne Sullivan Macy and thought she deserved a little spotlight time all her own. Of course, much of her story is intertwined with that of Helen, but she was a strong, smart, brave woman who lived a life previously uncharted. She busted through barrier after barrier to create a life story worth repeating.
Born in 1866 in Feeding Hills, MA, as life dealing goes—Anne was not given a winning hand: her parents were extremely poor Irish immigrants who chose to leave the support systems in bigger cities like Boston and settle in rural New England. Her father was an alcoholic who could not hold a job, and her mother would eventually die of tuberculosis when Anne was only nine years old. Her parents had five children, although only two of them would live to adulthood.
When Anne was seven she contracted trachoma which went untreated. Had she been emigrating to the US, she would have been turned back to Ireland for this bacterial infection of her eyes—instead she lost her most of her vision.
Checking for trachoma at Ellis Island.
Once her mother died, her younger sister Mary was sent to live with relatives. We read, and must believe, that Anne never saw her again. Her father was unable to care for Anne and her brother, Jimmy, so they were sent to the Tewkesbury Almshouse within a year of her mother's death. Just hearing the grim realities of this institution would make most of us weak in the knees, but she really had a "it is what it is" attitude about it.
Sadly, her brother, who had a tubercular hip, died within a few months of entering the Almshouse. Anne was alone.
But we are not talking about someone who is willing to give up, here—this is Anne Sullivan: Barrier Breaker! She had some operations on her eyes while at Tewksbury, and had some opportunities to live outside of the institution. When she moved back, she took yet another opportunity when it presented itself and talked her way into the Perkins School for the Blind in Boston.
Once at the school, she found a home. Oh, yes, she had a lot of barrier busting to do; this is a young woman who was raised to survive, and whose skills did not help her much in her new surroundings. But she was bright, determined, and quickly caught on to life at the school.
While at Perkins, she not only learned academics, life skills, people skills, and a career path as a teacher- but she also had two fairly successful eye operations. The second of which, was shortly before she was sent to work with a young southern child named Helen Keller.
At this point her life is, and for the remainder of it would remain, intertwined with that of Helen Keller.
Of course, we speculate quite a bit about Anne and Helen- why they connected and worked so well together, how they created these unusual lives for themselves, how they became a family. All of the remarkable achievements of Helen Keller are shared by her companion who she called " Teacher". Together they went to Radcliffe (although only Helen was presented with a diploma, Anne also received the education), were public figures, traveled the world,and stood on the vaudeville stage. Even Anne's marriage to John Macy was shared—in part- by Helen. John had been Helen's editor in the writing of "The Story of My Life", and the three of them lived together in a house owned by both Anne and Helen in Wrentham, MA. The two had a very beautiful relationship that often is brushed aside and not discussed, the spotlight instead on the achievements of Helen Keller.
Anne had health problems ; her eyesight was never fantastic, and she suffered from lifelong episodes of melancholy – not sure exactly what that means but we (the non-mental health professionals that we are) think it suggests clinical depression. She also suffered from a number of other illnesses, and her eyes frequently caused her pain. But she had Helen at her side, just as she was at Helen's translating into her palm. Helen took care of Anne as much as Anne took care of Helen. Finally on October 20, 1936, Anne Sullivan died of coronary thrombosis.
She did not have an easy life by any standards,—she was dealt a very harsh hand- but what Anne Sullivan made of her life and how she plowed and persevered through some really huge obstacles really sets all of our bars high. We couldn't help but admire her.

Okay, I am now a history chick wannabee … I love your podcasts – thank you invigorating my interest in history.
The trouble is, the more I learn, the more I want to learn. Where does it end? And I thought I was a math/science person – who knew?
I don't know if they still do it, but when I was in high school I visited Tuscombia, AL and Helen Keller's childhood home. They were doing a production of The Miracle Worker in the back yard and using the original water pump! Really fun.
Your podcasts are just wonderful; I have learned so much. Thanks!
Thank, Liz! When we researched for that episode, it did look like they still did the productions. That would really be something interesting to see. Thanks for listening!


For a skilled team of attorneys who fight for the rights of defendants in Broward County, Florida, call Meltzer & Bell. We fight for the rights of those accused of any type of crime. By hiring us, you will have access to one of our experienced partners 24 hours per day, seven days per week.
We work had to build the strongest defense possible, so that charges may be reduced or dismissed. Call us today at (954) 228-2789 to schedule a consultation with a Fort Lauderdale criminal defense lawyer.
We represent clients in Broward County courts, including in Fort Lauderdale, Pembroke Pines, Hollywood, Miramar, Coral Springs, Pompano Beach, Davie, Plantation, Sunrise, Deerfield Beach, Weston, Tamarac, Margate, Coconut Creek and Wilton Manors.
Both Lawrence Meltzer and Steven Bell got their starts in Broward County courts. Lawrence Meltzer was an assistant state attorney, prosecuting defendants in the same courts in which he now defends them on charges of DUI, assault, drug possession and more. Steven Bell was in the Broward County Public Defender's Office, where he worked his way up to leading the juvenile division.
The two attorneys worked on opposite sides, with Meltzer prosecuting Bell's clients. Both saw the other's dedication to justice and excellence in representing clients. After spending several years in public service, both represented clients accused of criminal offenses in Broward County and throughout the South Florida region.
They formed Meltzer & Bell in 2013, putting years of experience together for a common goal: To provide the best possible defense for people in Broward County and the surrounding area. Meltzer & Bell represents clients in both state courts, including the 17th Judicial Circuit, and federal courts in the Southern District of Florida, including in the U.S. Federal Building and Courthouse in Fort Lauderdale.
With more than two decades of collective experience in Broward County courts, Lawrence Meltzer and Steven Bell have the skills to seek the best possible result for you if you are accused of a crime.
Being arrested is incredibly distressing. However, it is only the first of a series of events, including multiple hearings, interviews, filings and more. A single misstep in any could make the difference between liberty and imprisonment.
The Constitution guarantees you the right to legal counsel so that you can make informed choices, fully aware of all your legal rights. At Meltzer & Bell, we advise you on all your options and help you understand your best opportunities.
Do not speak to law enforcement officers when you're a suspect. Everything you say can be twisted by prosecutors into evidence against you. Instead, exercise your constitutional right to remain silent and let us do the talking.
Some proceedings involve matters other than the criminal trial. For instance, a charge for domestic battery will not only involve proceedings on the charges themselves, but also a hearing for a protective order, which will severely impact your life. A DUI charge will mean hearings about whether or not you get to keep your driver's license.
At Meltzer & Bell, we capably represent you at every step of the way. Don't try to go this alone. Have a knowledgeable, skilled attorney on your side.
Many people believe that, when you are charged with a crime, you either plead guilty and accept punishment or plead not guilty and be required to prove your innocence. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth. There are many options. A lawyer experienced in complex felony charges will help you determine the best option and advocate for it.
Your charges could be dropped well before they ever reach trial. Your lawyer can show the weaknesses in your case to convince the prosecutor to "no file," meaning they file a document saying there is not evidence to pursue charges, or convince the judge to dismiss the charges for lack of evidence to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
An attorney may also seek to have the charges "nolle prossed." The charges are dropped, and the arrest record may be expunged. Charges may also be reduced so that a defendant pleads guilty to a lesser charge.
Finally, your lawyer from Meltzer & Bell can fight the charges in trial, seeking an acquittal. The prosecutor has a high standard to meet — to show that there is no reasonable doubt on any element of that charges. The defense, on the other hand, does not have to prove anything; just show that reasonable doubt exists.
Criminal charges are a very serious matter, and can have a significant impact on the rest of your life. At Meltzer & Bell, we will do everything in our power to seek to get the charges reduced or dismissed, helping you avoid the worst consequences and get the best possible result. With Meltzer & Bell, you will have more than two decades of experience working for you.
Call a skilled Fort Lauderdale felony defense lawyer at (954) 228-2789 if you face any type of criminal charges in Broward County court, state or federal.

This may come as no surprise to most online marketing buffs around the world, but for those thinking about setting up a local business with online presence, it is worth knowing that despite the success of '.com' and '.co.uk' globally over the past generation, many international hosting sites are realising that to be really in the know, local businesses thinking of becoming an online brand actually prefer, if possible, to have a domain that reflects the locality of the business – at least local by country. For a brand identity where internationality is key to its success, the more established 'dot com' URL is most certainly more appropriate.
Where a company is selling personal, local, and/or ethical services, or where a product is for sale that omits international shipping, a local domain and local host is preferred all 'round. While the statistics are invariably high around this point of discussion, the domain registrar site Free Parking, now owned by the leading new web hosting provider in New Zealand, Umbrellar, offers insight as to why and how this has become the case.
Aside from .'com', associated primarily with international or US dominated internet terrain, domains can be classified into country – 'ccTLD' addresses, or even more specifically, geographical cities, such as, '.Miami'.
According to Free Parking's sources, 75% of people prefer to buy products from their own country, for practical reasons such as shipping and currency.
Although much can still be said for being able to obtain a 'dot com' address, the domain can be intuitive in your brand's identity and customer appeal. If the web host of the website is local, the site is more likely to operate more quickly (within the confines of the countries connection and page download speed). This can mean all the difference to a potential sale, with SEO rankings now measured in part on a site's page load speed. The quicker a site loads, the more friendly the user experience is, and the higher the SEO rank in Google.
The site speed is also important in regards to retaining customer conversion rates, with 40% decrease in conversion in sites where a page takes longer than three seconds to load.
Customers will choose a local domain (and likely), in collaboration, a local host over an international company or foreign country domain for their purchases, as they trust local businesses more, believing them to be more accessible and contactable than international companies.
The locally hosted, local domain page will load more quickly, increasing conversion rates.
Local domain and hosting will improve overall online SEO rankings due to the likely-quicker loading speed from users accessing the website from the same country.
For local businesses attempting to reach out to people in their home country, the benefits of having a local host provider, such as Umbrellar in New Zealand, will have greater peace of mind. Knowing that they can contact their local host server at any time of day, they receive the same level of service and 99.9% uptime guarantee as international hosting companies, that previously relied upon their brand and saturation of the industry.

Dungeons & Dragons (običajno okrajšano kot D&D ali DnD) je fantazijska namizna igra igranja vlog (RPG), ki sta jo prvotno oblikovala Gary Gygax in Dave Arneson. Igro je leta 1974 prvič izdalo podjetje Tactical Studies Rules, Inc. (TSR). Od leta 1997 jo izdaja Wizards of the Coast (zdaj hčerinska družba Hasbro). Igra je izpeljana iz vojnih iger s figuricami, začetni sistem pravil je izpeljan iz igre Chainmail iz leta 1971. Objava D&D-ja je splošno priznana kot začetek sodobnih iger igranja vlog in industrije iger igranja vlog, močno je vplivala tudi na videoigre, zlasti na žanr videoiger igranja vlog.

D&D se oddaljuje od tradicionalnega simuliranja vojskovanja tako, da vsakemu igralcu omogoča, da ustvari svoj lik, ki ga bo upravljal namesto vojaške formacije. Ti liki se podajajo v pustolovščine v domišljijskem okolju. Dungeon Master (DM) služi kot vodja igre in pripovedovalec zgodb, hkrati pa opisuje okolje, v katerem se dogajajo dogodivščine, in igra vlogo prebivalcev sveta igre (NPC-jev). Liki tvorijo druščino in komunicirajo s prebivalci okolja ter drug z drugim. Skupaj rešujejo dileme, se spuščajo v bitke, raziskujejo ter nabirajo zaklade in znanje. Pri tem si liki zaslužijo točke izkušenj (XP), da preidejo na višji nivo, kjer pridobijo nove kompetence in postanejo vse močnejši v seriji ločenih igralnih seans.

I like to laugh and have fun. I am fine with going out and I like to stay home and chill too.
About: Hi. I am a single mother to a 16month old boy. I am new to this online stuff. I am a very family oriented person. I am a diverse person with many interest. Feel free to send me a message if you are.


There is a YouTube show where famous people sit around and get high. It lasts for an hour. Wow. I have watched many minutes of this show lately, just in awe that it is even happening. Smoking Marijuana, on film and discussing their stories of previous experiences with weed, and whatnot.
That is something that's going on in the world today.
So much stuff goes on.
I saw a letter written by an insurance company, where we are required by the federal government to provide certain information about our business. It seems to be about our employees and about insurance, but honestly it felt really creepy.
That is something going on in the world today.
I have my stuff, my wife's stuff, family stuff, work stuff, church stuff, internet stuff, and sleep. Then we do it all over again.
I honestly, truthfully, don't even have a clue, about so much stuff out there in the world.
Uninformed. Nearly uneducated. I don't watch the news. I don't want to. Not interested.
A couple interesting things have changed since I have been working at the restaurant, for awhile now. I am becoming very comfortable in micro-second flashes of attention, concentration and quick-shifting/decision-making. A busy night like tonight, seems to require my head-on-a-swivel, and an as-fast-as-safely-possible speed.
I can absorb information quickly about our front of house, and kitchen, and dynamically maneuver around within centimeters of swinging doors and squeezing past staff to get back to the walk-in. This is something relatively new in my life.
Insomnia is as well. Right now at 1:20am, Thursday morning, I am settling into my prime focus time. I have reset an internal mechanism, keeping myself fully awake until around 2:00 or so, whether I want to or not.
Mornings?? Well, I don't want to move in the morning, anymore.
Sure, we are still shutting things down at 10:30 most nights, and Friday, I can easily be there til 2:30am, but why do I insist on keeping those hours almost every day of week?
I have given up, on getting up early. Nine O clock is not an unusual time for me to first open my eyes.
There are times in my normal routine of life, where my experience seems to have fuzzy edges and shifting vibrations of consciousness, that may be exhaustion-induced. Also however, this quick-paced stammer of concentration seems to work very well, when the bar is busy.
This is something going on in my world.
You have things going on in your world. I probably don't know about them. The stuff that is really, truly going on inside your mind, inside your thoughts, may be known to very few. Probably only you. In a whisper of a moment you converse with yourself about something you see or feel. You judge something, or perceive beauty. You're enticed or aggravated, you are swept up, you are let down.
Isn't it amazing, how much is really going on out there, in here, everywhere.
I just can't conceive it. The world in which we live is beyond my comprehension. Today, I comprehend less than I ever have before. I chose this mostly. I live in such a small bubble. It's tiny. My home, My work, My other work, My wife and My worship, are so tightly connected, it is crazy. Crazy small. Crazy compact.
So there. I live in a tiny bubble. That is something going on in the world. I used to live larger, spread myself out more. I used to talk to more people, get around to more places. I used to do a lot of things, that I don't do now.
My experience of this life is the opposite of still and serene and quiet. In fact, I feel as if I'm at some edge of existence. Maybe hanging on by some stretched thread. I am constantly astonished by the smallest things. I cannot believe the moments I encounter day after day. Memories awaken lifetimes ago. The grip I have on the present moment seems slippery and loose. Quick I'm lost, Quick I'm back.
I hear the voice saying, 'It's not about You.'… Meaning… It's not about Me.
I find over and over again, that I am not the subject of this experiment. I got that part wrong. As a participant, I am one tiny shade of tile, creating a great mosaic. I could be just one integer in an epic equation. This tiny moment of typing on this screen today, is one harmonic note in an overture overlapping the ends of time itself.
'Should' I be more informed? 'Should' I get more rest? 'Should' I give up internet? 'Should' I get a real job?
Who knows. Who cares. I can't imagine that our droplets of questions and answers can truly raise or lower the levels of the ocean. Being one of those droplets though, sustains it.
This is something going on in the world today. I think about existence and it's meaning. I live confusedly about it. I wander and forget, and act juvenile. I wax and wane prophetically too. I am just like you. We are like each other. We are all from one, from one we all are. There is no, out there, or in here. It is only the breath of God, that animates it all. All animation originates in the breath of God.
And that my friends, is one way to say something today. No more, no less. It just is.
So, I've been driving a mini-van for a week now, and I love the dang thing! It's a sweeeeet ride!! Seriously! Tons of room, good mileage, headroom and doors that open themselves. It was snowy and icy when I picked it up, but the front-wheel drive yanked that sucker through the slush, no-problemo!
Maybe they don't. They probably work too hard, and make too wonderful of music to still not be mega-millionaires, like a few less talented teenage stars do.
So, I don't have cable TV. I don't have an opinion on sports. I don't looooove any one team, or haaaaate any other team. I will watch a game and get excited. Nothing in my life will change because of the outcome though. Not one thing. They don't know me, I don't know them. I didn't go to the school… maybe that's the difference. Flint Hills Technical College barely had a co-ed softball team, let alone Division 1 Basketball.
That darn mini-van is just one more thing in a loong list of stuff in my life, that I feel that I truly appreciate and yet makes me apart from normal. The fact that I even notice that gap, can tell us something though. I must yearn to be accepted. I must still want the people I interact with, to see things the way I see them. I want that camaraderie and approving agreement. I sure do. I know that I have, at other times in my life, done more to go along with the flow, and to fit in with the crowd, than I do now. Much more.
I probably won't talk myself into buying my Mom's mini-van. (Even though it is super awesome!) I probably will just fix the Troop and keep limping it along for awhile. I probably won't buy a sweet Jayhawks, or Powercats tee shirt, at the sporting goods store I work at. Even if it is a great deal, on my employee discount. I don't own one now, maybe never will.
I will still seek out those videos or shows or documentaries, where people speak about their lives, and how they got from their humble beginnings to being the master of their craft. I will always loooove the moments where they share their principals, their inner stances on life. Most of the time, they say that they learned them from a parent, or a grandparent or teacher or boss. I wonder if we do enough of that stuff now. Showing the kids principals. Showing by example. Succeeding ourselves and telling the kids, what makes it work best for us. I don't do it enough I know.
I Wanna' Get Away! So I Will!
Freakin' airlines! What's up with them! A long time ago, someone decided that the planes were going to leave the terminal on time, whether all the passengers were aboard or not! Their tickets are relatively expensive! They also seem to have a hassle-factor built into bumping to the next flight out, whenever that may be! They are smart enough, to have me following all their rules! Overall, I want to get myself on that plane, on-time, period.
Okay, maybe they used to do that with trains too, or busses, maybe still do. I don't really know, but the key here is that we always, almost-every-single-time-always make it to the airport on-time and are seated ready to go, when the plane takes off.
Almost never do we miss a plane flight.
This concept was brought to my attention sometime in the last few years by Steve Chandler. The idea that we place so much importance on being physically ready and present for our airplane travel is astonishing.
On the other hand, when we make life plans, or new year's resolutions, our success rate is much lower. We can intend to shoot for our goals, and rock a new body by summer, but we really don't deliver on our self-promises, as much as we do with a plane flight.
That's just me of course. You probably are one of those people. A raging success. Someone who sets yearly goals, has an internal progress report practice, and measures your continuous accomplishments. You probably count every calorie and live always at the optimum weight and bmi. You are probably waaaay more disciplined in almost every area of life, than I am… So you can go back to looking at damnyouautocorrect.com and save yourself from reading any more.
Commitment is the thing that is inherently built into my idea of flying on a plane. I am eagerly anticipating the trip ahead. I am going to some place more fun or exciting than home. I am spending some money to experience a new place. I know that when I get to the airport, the chances of me arriving on-time to my destination is very high. I do know that the TSA search and seizure policies are unnerving, but I still want to make the trip anyway. I am operating at a high level of commitment and I'm accomplishing my mission.
I am still the un-disciplined. The procrastinator. The quick-to-start; rare-to-finish'er. I am still not creating a masterful overall life-enriching plethora of commitments. I am just doing the one thing, in that one moment. I am getting myself on the plane, one way or another.
In reality though, when I see my lower-level commitments in action, I tend to be weak, and get frustrated with myself. When I once-again fail to swing an connect on a solid spike on the volleyball court, I am disappointed in myself. I know that if I wanted to figure it out, and be a better hitter, and commit to that phase of my game, I could do it. But usually, like right now, I do something else, instead of practice hitting the volleyball.
So there. I have created another post tonight. My commitment to this 'thing' continues. I however, adjusted it, for a bigger commitment in my life. The restaurant has all my attention this Friday, and it has now ranked above the blog. Usually, I make them coexist, and squish lots into a small timeframe.
When I see the magnitude of the weekend ahead, I am willing to clear my schedule as much as possible. I can do anything I want to, when I am committed enough to it. I know that, dag-nabit. I know too, that I have grey areas, in what I say I am committed to, and what is proven in my actions, to others, and to myself.
Almost as long I can remember, skipping rocks across a pond, gave me an uneasy feeling. Sure, I knew to scout-out a smooth flat stone, with a perfectly curved edge. I could search for that one that fit a bent finger. I could spin it and float it, and send it skittering across the surface. When I did, I felt joy, just like all kids do.
But something bothered me about it. I would scour the banks of the lake, or rivers' edge, and for each stone I passed by, I noticed that it would remain, where it had been, for eons. For each stone that I picked up, and threw into the water, it was forever moved. I chose to give it a new life, a new place to reside. It would no more bask in the sun some days, ice over in winter, and occasionally get wet, when the rains came, or waters rose. Nope, for as long as I could imagine; from that 'skipping day,' my little rock would now live at the bottom of the lake.
It seemed like a big responsibility to chose a perfect rock. I didn't want to just throw things into the water to watch them splash. I felt that I was making a difference in the mini landscape around that pond. I at least wanted the act of skipping, to be worth it. I wanted to watch that rock dance on the water, even for just a little while.
In some way, I didn't think that I deserved the right, to take an object from where it had been, and throw it in the water, just 'cause "I" wanted to.
Here I sit. Again at my desk. Again in the middle of the night. I'm looking right now at a thin red and squarish chunk of stone. It may be called dolomite. It used to live in California.
On an exposed rugged high-altitude slope, my little rock, used to live among his brethren. It used to be where the oldest living single organism on our planet is. It was with the bristlecones for thousands and thousands of years. Then I moved it.
I moved it to Princeton. It now sits on my desk, under a 30 inch screen. I see it often and think of that wonderful trip I once took. Maybe someday, I'll return to the White Mountains, and take it back home. Hopefully the trees will still be there. Since they have been, almost as long as recorded human history.
I probably didn't 'need' to take it with me. To bring it here. To displace something so beautiful. But there were millions more of them there… right?
I don't know sometimes, how we are to interact with this world we've been given to inhabit. I'm no tree-hugger. I throw away recyclables every day. I consume fossil fuels and use disposable dishes and lots of unnecessary electricity. I leave my computer on, always… I'm just as cliche'd and irresponsible as anybody in my wastefulness.
What is it about this direct interaction though? A visceral connection to a small rock, something so trivial, that can eat me up inside, to know that I have caused it to change? I guess I inherently believe that things are already, the way they are supposed to be, in nature. Out in the natural world, there is a balance and rhythm, and I am usually messing it up, instead of helping or enhancing or beautifying it further.
I heard a quote on Sunday, from the Super Bowl winning quarterback, of the Seahawks. He said that he was raised and taught by his father, a question to ask of himself, as he trained and pursued his passion of football. 'Why not You, Russel?' his dad would say. He practiced and worked and came to believe that this is a valid and important question to ask himself, 'Why not me?', 'Why not us?', 'Why not here, and why not now?' And this year, they won the biggest game it was possible for them to win.
And just now, the light flicked on. Just now, God's shown me a possible purpose of this post. Just now, I see, that maybe, just maybe, that overgrown pebble, waited on me for millenia. It sat hour after hour, day after day, decades and eons of time, just waiting for the moment it was going to fly! Maybe, just maybe, I was giving a gift and zipping a thrilling experience for some grain of consciousness embedded in the creation of our landscape. Maybe God has given us the world, to be stewards of, and yet, still enjoy, still have fun and play within.
Maybe, just maybe, we could loosen our grip on the 'safety' of our stuck places, our cemented-in spots that we've carved out over eons of our existence. Maybe, God will come along and zing us out into new territory, to new places and splashing across the fresh cooling waters. Maybe we'll skip all the way across, and end up in a new land. A new start. A promised land.

Burned Quran could be a hate crime
Posted on 24 September 2011.
by Jasmeet Sidhu
Members of the Masjid Hefaz mosque still rattled
On the morning before the 10th anniversary of 9/11, Imam Ifa Yahha made a jarring discovery outside the Masjid Hefaz mosque.
An unmarked package stuffed with roast meat, a photo of Osama bin Laden, mysterious white powder, and the burned remains of a Quran was placed in front of the door on East 198th Street off the Grand Concourse, said a mosque member.
"As far as I know, nothing of this magnitude has happened before," said Fahaam Razack, 27, a nursing student at Lehman College who has attended the mosque since he was 14. Razack said some neighborhood residents had been known to yell at mosque members as they entered the building to pray, but that's where it ended.
"I am upset that this happened," said Razack, who sits on the board of the mosque. "But I can understand. Most people don't understand Islam."
Deputy Inspector Joseph Dowling of the 52nd Precinct said the police are investigating the incident as a hate crime, and that no arrests have been made. The fact that police have not identified a suspect leaves many in the community on edge.
One resident said he is not surprised by this most recent ugly incident.
"It's a mad world," said Edward Froustet, a 62-year-old Roman Catholic who lives a few doors down from the mosque. "The neighborhood in the past 20 years or more has been about gangs, groups and drugs. It will never stop."
Members of the mosque are taking measures to add more security to the property, such as surveillance cameras. At least a hundred worshippers, mainly immigrants from Ghana and Somalia, attend services and classes at Masjid Hefaz every week including about 30 children.
Razack hopes that with more community outreach about Islam, mosque members will be left in peace.
"It's a major misunderstanding. We need to do more in the community to fight against wrong information about Islam," said Razack.

Zenith Bank's US$500M Euro Bond Massively Over-Subscribed
Michael Abimboye
Published on 14th April 2014
Zenith Bank Plc has announced a massive over-subscription of 200% in her US$500m Euro bond issue under a US$1bn Global Medium Term Note (GMTN) Programme announced on 1 April 2014.
According to a press release issued this afternoon, the bank's week long investors' roadshow, coordinated by Goldman Sachs and Citibank, received an overwhelming endorsement by a diversified group of global investors from Europe, the US, Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
Investor's perception of Zenith's domestic market leadership and its strong balance sheet defined by its liquidity, asset quality and capital adequacy are among the major factors driving the overwhelming acceptance of the bank's first ever debt issue. The bank is considered to be highly innovative but prudent and customer-service focused. This has also elicited investors' appetite for its shares currently trading on both the Nigerian Stock Exchange and the London Stock Exchange (through a GDR programme), a patronage which has been reflected in the over subscription of its first debt issue.
Also, the bank's conservative approach to banking exemplified by its robust Capital Adequacy ratio of 26% as at 31 December, 2013 Strong Liquidity ratio of 64%, prudent Loan to Deposit ratio of 55% and Strong Risk Management culture confirms Zenith as the strongest Credit in the Nigerian banking Clime.
As an affirmation of the confidence reposed by investors on the bank, two leading rating agencies, Standard and Poor's Ratings Services and Fitch Ratings, rated both the programme and the first tranche of US$500 million issued as BB- and B+ respectively. It is also worthy of noting that in its 2013 Issuer Rating of Zenith Bank, Standard and Poor's Ratings Services said "the main constraint on Zenith's Ratings is the Sovereign ratings of Nigeria…"
The GMTN Programme gives Zenith the opportunity to raise up to US$ 1 billion out of which a first tranche of US$500 million has been issued.
This offer is priced at a coupon rate of 6.25% payable every six months, the first US$500 million tranche has an effective date of 22 April 2014 and maturity date of 22 April 2019 and is 100% redeemable on maturity.

I thoroughly enjoyed participating in the Front End of Innovation Conference in Boston last month. It was a terrific opportunity to engage with both thought leaders and practitioners and to explore some of the most difficult questions and exciting opportunities around the innovation space. I think we all walked away with more intelligence and empathy—and that's certainly my measure of a successful conference.
Pettis was quick to note that the answer is "Yes." The reality is that innovation is a big tent with room for both. After all, a "whole-brained" approach requires both the left (analytical) and right (creative) brains. It takes a diversity of perspectives to unlock fresh ideas that are strategically relevant.
Again, the answer is a resounding YES!
I firmly believe that the biggest barrier to innovation in most organizations is the word innovation. Debating its definition can become a complete distraction. And what are teams losing focus on in the process? The customer.
That's why we at Brandtrust® define innovation as creative problem-solving. We totally agree with Clayton Christensen that one must clarify innovation's "job to do" based on the specific situation at hand. Teams must set their sights on both a critical customer problem as well as a business problem or opportunity.
And the first step to solving a problem is asking "Why?" So I thought I would highlight some key examples of how "Why?" helps address critical areas of focus from the conference.
Creating a Culture of Innovation: A shared "Why?" creates a shared purpose. In a great conversation around the "Neuropsychology of Creativity," Bill Greenwald emphasized the importance of clarifying and aligning the team with the organization's purpose or mission. Understanding and aligning with a deeper "Why?" has been shown to drive engagement and creativity. So we must be creative with a purpose.
Problem-Finding: Asking "Why?" is critical to align the team around what business problem and customer problem we need to solve before we embark on an innovation initiative. So often teams jump right into solution mode without first asking clarifying questions to determine the purpose and scope of the project. As noted earlier, if teams first take this tack the "innovation definition" question really becomes a moot point. Innovation can be about both short-term extensions and long-term disruption — depending on which problem or opportunity looms largest for the team. We appreciated Harvard Business School professor Michael Tushman's assertion that business leaders must embrace multiple classes of innovation and create the "structural ambidexterity" to enable them to thrive.
Adopting Fresh Perspectives: Craig Lauchner from Medtronic coached participants on "Assumption-Storming"—a great approach to systematically reframe challenges by surfacing and challenging "lynchpin" assumptions. This is a terrific methodology that reminds us to question our assumptions by laying out the rules of the game and asking "Why?" Why is this a given? And what if we broke this rule—what would that unlock? So often the key to breaking through is simply adopting a fresh perspective on the challenge itself.
Architecting Meaningful Brand Experiences: On display at the conference was a range of approaches to gathering and incorporating customer and consumer input to inform innovation, from ethnography to online panels to direct, in-person co-creation. All are rooted in building empathy and all certainly have merit. What's critical to understand is when you need to ask "What?," "How?" and "Why?," and which tools answer which questions. "What?" is an important question to understand customers' current frame of reference, solution set and behaviors. "How?" reveals powerful observational data around pain points, workarounds and opportunities for user design enhancement. "Why?" is about taking a step further, or deeper, to understand what actually drives customers' decision-making vis-a-vis a particular category and brand.
"What?" and "How?" enable you to understand and articulate functional behaviors and opportunities today. "Why?" enables you to understand emotional drivers to influence behavior tomorrow.
Of course, the difficulty with understanding WHY people do things is that we don't really know… and they don't either. Research suggests that as much as 95% of decision-making occurs in the non-conscious mind rather than the conscious mind (the system that is engaged when we are in a conversation or take a survey.) This is why if you want to know what someone thinks or wants, the worst thing you can do is ask them. When asked a direct question, we go into "right answer mode." We won't admit we don't know why we do something, and we try to tell the interviewer what we think they want to hear. This comes from a great place of helpfulness but it elicits data that can take us off track.
Understanding the 95% of decision-making that resides in the non-conscious requires a new toolkit rooted in psychology. While it's not a customer's job to tell you what they want, if you use the right approach you can understand how they want to feel and, most critically, who they want to be. It's the brands like Nike and Apple that best close the gap between a customer's true and aspirational selves and inspire irrational loyalty.
Most importantly, understanding customers' deep "Why?" enables you to laser-focus on solving the right problem. And if "innovation" is solving the right problem, does it really matter what label we put on it, or what box we put it in to support the case for a customer experience focus?

Budapest's haunted Soviet hospital awaiting Chinese
China Democratic Coalition health hospital investment Russia Socialists
Daily News Hungary
Вход – as it is written in Cyrillic next to the entrance of the former hospital in the Northern part of Budapest. The enormous building has been standing vacant for almost 25 years. Red Army's officers' hospital was operational here until 1991. A security guard escorted the reporter of Index.hu inside: it looks like in the post-apocalyptic world of Stalker. Dark, cold, grey walls of concrete everywhere. The floor is full of puddles. The elevator doors are covered in rust, standing half-open in some places. In the hall, a rusty bed lies next to the dried-out fountain.
It used to be one of the most modern hospital buildings in Hungary up during the mid-'80s. The surgery pavilion with 260 beds was built based on Tamás Tomay's and Levente Varga's prize winning blueprints. The four-story building is divided into two halls with circular corridors inside. The hospital became available in 1985, but it did not function for long: after the Soviet troops pulled out, the Hungarian state did not have the funds to purchase the building, so the Russians took all the medical equipment. Now it is only bare concrete.
Or is it? In the community room on the ground floor, a red sign advertises the 28th congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and on the other side, a quote from Lenin can be read, which means something like this in rough translation: "We must have one motto: truly acquire military science." Time has some interesting layers represented here: this place is used as a warehouse now, so they store the benches of a church or chapel under the Lenin quote and the CPSU sign.
The entire building could serve as a splendid scene for a war movie or a sci-fi horror. But it is not used for that purpose: sometimes police commandos use it for training.
We approach the second floor of the abandoned building. The painting of the staircase and the handrail is still in a good shape; many of today's hospitals would be jealous. The dark and empty corridor leads to the former canteen, where Cyrillic signs tell us about the schedule. The wards weren't designed for the accommodation of masses of conscripts: the remains of the doctor-calling devices and the lamps suggest that there were four or six beds in a room, and each of them had a balcony. One of these balconies still has a message written by a soldier: Murmansk 90.
Melting pot of styles
A spectacular view opens up from the top of the building. From here we can see that many buildings are standing in the surrounding territory from both the early 20th century and the '80s. The former workers' hospital of Pestújhely was built in the middle of a beautiful park at the beginning of the past century with art noveau villas and Bauhaus buildings. The Red Army occupied the area in 1945, and this became Budapest's second Russian policlinic (Гарнизонная поликлиника, Пештуйхель), which was extended by nine more buildings.
The nurse building can be seen in the opposite, along with a small socialist shop. Several buildings have been demolished by now, but not only the hospital was built here, but also nuclear, chemical and biological weapon proof service halls, bunkers and basements.
Bandages, ampules, patient records
We travel back a century as we step into the wonderful art noveau villa. The old buildings in the area were built at the beginning of the 1900s as neurology sanitariums. We can see that they would be inappropriate to function as hospitals according to today's standards, but the buildings still look gorgeous. The Russians occupied this as well, and they left even more relics in this building.
One of the rooms had bandages, infusions, pill boxes with Cyrillic Chinoin signs, rails that were used to fixate broken limbs, unopened ampules lying on the floor. In another room, we could see more bed urinals (fortunately, clean ones) among the trash and some patient records on the ground. One of them told that an officer, who was born in 1947, was recorded for traumatology in 1989. Even his radiogram was attached to the sheet.
Egészségliget
The surrounding park is kept tidy by the municipal. The area has been guarded for years. Only few of the buildings are used, mostly as warehouses, but there will be the laundry of Bethesda children's hospital. Only one of the buildings are used actively, here is the clinic of District XV's municipal.
There were multiple plans in the past 25 years for making use of the territory. The municipal wanted to establish an "Egészségliget" (Grove of health) here with clinics, therapy and rehabilitation centers, geriatric institutions, public and higher education institutions, sports establishments. One of the plans estimated the costs to be around 26-35 billion forints, but the municipal did not have such funds.
The process is even more difficult because nine of the buildings are under protection as monuments. The territory has been partly state and partly municipal property for a long time, until the state gave its rights of property to the municipal in 2014. An agreement was signed in 2014 between the Chinese and the Hungarian government that they will establish the Central and Eastern European Traditional Chinese Medicine Teaching, Healing and Research Center in Budapest by 31st December in 2018.
They were waiting for the opening to the East
However, nothing happened for a long time. During the municipal elections in 2014, DK (Democratic Coalition) representative László Hajdu was elected as mayor, while the body of representatives still had a Fidesz majority. The mayor signed a memorandum of understanding with Asia Center's Chinese investors in 2016 that a 30-billion-forint investment will be carried out with a Chinese medical center and other constructions. This went against the governmental ideas. The body of representatives of District XV with the Fidesz majority, two MSZP, one Jobbik and one LMP representative voted against this initiation, because they stated that the Chinese private investors would exclude all the residents from the improvements.
The state began to act this year, because the deadline of the end of 2018 is closing. The state asked for four buildings' 100 percent property rights from the municipality, which was passed by the body of representatives on 28th February.
Olivér Szentpétery became the leader of HGYK (Traditional Chinese Medicine), who was the commercial manager of GYEMSZI (Healthcare Quality Improvement and Hospital Engineering Institute) and former leader of Biotech GmbH's Hungarian branch.
The business has begun, though the government gave instructions to organize the Third Ministers Conference on Health between China and the Eastern European countries and a medical exhibition. 430 million forints were reserved for that purpose.
It must be demolished to its structure
By the end of February, a bill was submitted about the establishment of the Chinese medical center, but Ministry of Human Resources refused to answer any of Index's question.
Thought new buildings don't need to be built, the costs might skyrocket. Former leader of the surgery block built in 1985 Tamás Tomay said in 2013 that the building hardly meets any of today's standards. Neither the doors and windows, nor the panels are adequately insulated, so the building must be demolished to its structure. The structure might mean the 30 percent of the overall expenses. But the change of doors, windows and panels might cost at least 2 billion forints.

Carbohydrate, protein, and fat are essential for health maintenance, growth, reproduction, immunity, and healing. Deficits or excesses of any of these nutrients may compromise these processes, resulting in poor health outcomes, which vary depending on the macronutrient in question and the life stage of the affected person.
In decades past, research on nutrition and disease frequently focused on the problems caused by diets that provided inadequate intakes of protein, calories, or micronutrients. Concerns that such deficient diets could lead to poor growth and development or might result in weight loss in elderly hospitalized individuals were appropriate. Currently, however, an excess of macronutrients is a far greater threat to health and well-being in developed countries and in many developing nations as well. Changing dietary habits have become a driving force behind common chronic diseases.
This chapter focuses on the basics of macronutrients—their roles, sources, and requirements. All macronutrients provide energy. Carbohydrates and protein provide 4 kcal/gram, and fat provides 9 kcal/gram. The only other nutrient that supplies energy is alcohol, contributing 7 kcal/gram.
The term simple carbohydrate refers to monosaccharides and disaccharides. Common monosaccharides include glucose and fructose, while common disaccharides include sucrose. Figure 1, Figure 2, and Figure 3 represent the chemical structures of glucose, fructose, and sucrose. Foods high in simple carbohydrate include fruit, table sugar, and milk.
Complex carbohydrate refers to polysaccharides; the term is synonymous with "starch." Starches are branched carbohydrates that include glycogen ("animal starch"), amylopectin, amylose, and cellulose (Figures 4 and 5), an important source of dietary fiber (see below). Foods high in complex carbohydrate include grains, legumes, and starchy vegetables.
Refining is a process by which the fibrous outer bran coating of grains is removed. By this process, brown rice is converted to white rice, for example, or whole wheat is converted to white flour, greatly reducing fiber content. Note that a food can be rich in complex carbohydrate but also be refined. White rice and white bread, for example, are refined grain products, but they retain their complex carbohydrate.
Dietary fiber refers to carbohydrates that resist digestion in the human small intestine. Fiber is found exclusively in plant foods including fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds, and whole grains, and it occurs in two types: Soluble fiber swells in contact with liquids while insoluble fiber does not.
Diets that are high in carbohydrate and fiber and low in fat and cholesterol have clinical utility in prevention and management of several diseases, including obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension. Dietary fiber promotes satiety, and its intake is inversely associated with body weight and body fat. Most Americans underconsume fiber.
Glycemic index. The glycemic index (GI) was first presented in 1981 as a means of quantifying the effects of carbohydrate-rich foods on blood glucose concentrations. The GI of a food is determined by feeding a portion containing 50 g of carbohydrate to 10 healthy people after an overnight fast. Blood glucose is tested at 15- to 30-minute intervals over the next 2 hours, and the results are compared with those obtained by feeding the same amount of glucose or white bread. A GI below 100 means the food has less effect on blood sugar, compared with glucose. A higher number means the test food has a greater effect.
Distinctions between various kinds of carbohydrate are clinically important. Diets high in sugars and refined carbohydrate may cause elevations of plasma triglyceride concentrations. Some studies have shown reductions in triglycerides with low-GI diets, while other studies have reported reductions in total and HDL cholesterol, with no effect on triglycerides.
In studies of individuals with diabetes, a meta-analysis of 11 prior studies showed that diets emphasizing low-GI foods reduce hemoglobin A1c (the principal clinical measure of long-term blood glucose control) by about 0.5 percentage points. Studies showed a similar benefit for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
Although dietary carbohydrate provides glucose, available evidence indicates that people who consume approximately 3 servings per day of whole-grain foods have a 20% to 30% lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes than individuals consuming < 3 servings per week. Greater whole grain consumption also decreased the risks for cardiovascular disease and weight gain. Low-fat, high-carbohydrate, high-fiber diets also significantly reduce the need for insulin and oral hypoglycemic agents in patients with type 2 diabetes. Such diets are also associated with significant improvements in blood lipid concentrations, blood pressure, and indices of atherosclerosis (see Hyperlipidemia chapter) and appear to be useful for preventing and treating some intestinal disorders (see Constipation, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Peptic Ulcer Disease, and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease chapters).
Clinicians should be aware that patients sometimes mistakenly blame carbohydrate for weight or health problems, based on the tenets of popular low-carbohydrate weight-loss diets. Patients may need to be reminded that carbohydrate is essential to human health. Complex carbohydrates, in unprocessed or minimally processed forms, are staple foods in the diets of countries where chronic diseases are rarely seen. In areas of changing dietary patterns, where carbohydrate-rich foods become displaced by animal-derived products and highly processed foods, several chronic diseases become much more common. In Japan, for example, the Westernization of the diet occurring in the latter half of the 20th century meant a sharp decrease in rice consumption and an increase in meat and total fat intake, with corresponding increases in obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and other health problems. In studies of Japanese adults over the age of 40, diabetes prevalence was between 1% and 5% prior to 1980. By 1990, prevalence of the disease had increased to 11% to 12%.
Lactose intolerance. Intolerance of certain kinds of carbohydrate is common and may mimic medical disorders. Lactase, the enzyme in the jejunum that cleaves the milk sugar lactose, normally disappears sometime after the age of weaning. Its disappearance is gradual and extremely variable in age of onset. For some, the enzyme disappears in early childhood; in others, it wanes in late adulthood. The nonpersistence of lactase was once regarded as an abnormal condition, referred to as lactose intolerance. It is now known to be the biological norm, occurring in the vast majority of individuals. For most whites, however, lactase persists throughout life, a condition referred to as lactase persistence.
After lactase disappearance, the consumption of milk or other lactose-containing products can cause bloating, cramping, diarrhea, and flatulence, which may be mistaken for a number of gastrointestinal diseases. Some authorities advise individuals with these symptoms to limit their consumption of lactose-containing products to small amounts consumed throughout the day, or to use lactase-treated dairy products, such as soy milk, rice milk, or other substitutes. However, after the age of weaning, there is no nutritional requirement for either milk or milk substitutes, and their inclusion in the diet is based on preference rather than nutritional needs.
Sucrase deficiency. This condition is rare in the general public. It has been reported in adults with renal calculi, and one study found sucrase deficiency in 31% of a population of individuals with HIV.
Fructose malabsorption. Fructose malabsorption can also cause significant gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g., bloating, cramps, osmotic diarrhea) that may not respond to medications or surgical interventions. However, fructose malabsorption is only likely to be problematic for individuals consuming concentrated amounts of this sugar (e.g., beverages with high-fructose corn syrup), as opposed to those eating reasonable quantities of fruit. Malabsorption appears to be a problem mainly with fructose intakes exceeding 25 g per meal, although in patients with functional bowel disease, malabsorption may occur with amounts < 15 g.
Congenital carbohydrate intolerances. Congenital carbohydrate intolerances are rare but life-threatening. These conditions include sucrase-maltase deficiency, glucose-galactose malabsorption, and alactasia (a total absence of lactase).
Protein supports the maintenance and growth of body tissues. The amino acids that make up proteins are used for the synthesis of nucleic acids, cell membranes, hormones, neurotransmitters, and plasma proteins that serve transport functions and exert the colloid osmotic pressure needed to maintain fluid in vascular space. Protein is also the second-largest energy store, second to adipose tissue because of the large amount of muscle tissue that is a labile source of amino acids for gluconeogenesis, although carbohydrate (in the form of glycogen) is used between meals as a primary source.
During growth and in various disease states, several other amino acids (arginine, cysteine, glutamine, glycine, proline, tyrosine) are regarded as conditionally indispensable. This term applies when endogenous synthesis cannot meet metabolic need (e.g., under special pathophysiologic circumstances, including prematurity in infants and severe catabolic stress in adults).
The effects of certain conditionally indispensable amino acids may be of interest to clinicians involved in the care of critically ill patients. One of these is glutamine, a precursor of both adenosine triphosphase (ATP) and nucleic acids. Depletion of glutamine through hypercatabolic/hypermetabolic illness may result in enterocyte and immunocyte starvation, and glutamine enrichment of enteral or parenteral feedings limits nitrogen loss and improves outcome (significantly reducing bacteremia, sepsis, and hospital stay) in critically ill patients who are post-surgery or in the intensive care unit. , In addition, glutamine significantly increases plasma concentrations of taurine, an amino acid with antihypertensive, antiarrhythmic, and positive inotropic effects. This may be important for patients with chronic kidney disease, in whom low intracellular taurine concentrations are common and who are at high risk for cardiac events.
Cysteine is a conditionally indispensable amino acid in infants, one that may promote nitrogen retention in immature infants especially. As a precursor of glutathione, cysteine also plays important roles in antioxidant defense and regulation of cellular events (including gene expression, DNA and protein synthesis, cell proliferation and apoptosis, signal transduction, cytokine production, and the immune response). Patients with liver disease cannot meet their requirements for cysteine due to diminished activity of transsulfuration pathways. The importance of cysteine is also underscored by its role in synthesizing N-acetylcysteine, a glutathione precursor with important clinical and preventive effects. These include reducing the risk of exacerbations and improving symptoms in patients with chronic bronchitis, significantly reducing the risk of radiocontrast-induced nephropathy, and reducing the expression of a number of cancer risk markers in humans. Patients with cirrhosis may benefit from supplementation with specific (e.g., branched-chain) amino acids (see Cirrhosis chapter).
The major difference between diets providing animal protein and those providing plant proteins appears to be that, while plant foods contain all essential amino acids, some are limited in lysine or sulfur-containing amino acids. The amino acids provided by various plant foods, however, tend to complement each other, and it is not necessary to intentionally combine foods. The natural combinations of foods in typical vegetarian diets provide more than adequate amounts of complete protein. Soy products provide protein with a biological value as high as that of animal protein. Because plant sources of protein are free of cholesterol and low in saturated fat and provide dietary fiber and various phytochemicals, they present advantages over animal protein sources.
Protein requirements are increased in certain conditions. These include severe acute illness, burn injury, and end-stage renal disease (see Burns and End-Stage Renal Disease chapters). In some studies of nursing home residents, protein deficiency has emerged as a concern in those who are not eating normal amounts of food. Protein requirements for strength and endurance athletes can range from 1.2 – 1.7 g/kg/day. Even at these levels of protein intake, plant sources of protein are sufficient. Because many patients have questions about getting adequate protein and some may seek out high-protein foods or products that have harmful consequences, it is important to provide reassurance that there is no requirement for animal protein.
Protein needs are influenced by life stage. Protein requirements are highest in the growing years, with infants up to 12 months and children 1 to 3 years of age requiring 1.5 g/kg and 1.1 g/kg, respectively. Requirements for protein remain high relative to adult needs during the period from growth to puberty (ages 4 to 13 years), at 0.95 g/kg, and are reduced to near-adult levels (0.85 g/kg) from 14 to 18 years of age. Pregnancy and lactation also increase protein needs to 1.1 g/kg of maternal prepregnancy weight for the former and 1.3 g/kg for the latter.
For healthy adults, the Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) set by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) is considerably lower (0.66 g/kg/d), 47 and 38 grams per day for men and women, respectively. Most adults in Western countries consume more protein than the recommended EAR and Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of 0.66 g/kg/d and 0.8 g/kg, respectively. In the 2011/2012 What We Eat in America survey adult men and women consumed a mean of 98.8 and 68.1 grams of protein per day, respectively. These amounts are approximately double the recommendations set by the IOM. Excessive intakes may contribute to risk for certain chronic diseases (see below).
Energy adequacy spares protein. When considering protein requirements, it is important to consider the number of calories available for nitrogen sparing (i.e., calories from both carbohydrate and protein). A ratio of 150 nonprotein calories per gram of nitrogen (provided by 6.25 g of protein) is considered sufficient for protein sparing. Thus, a healthy 60-kg woman consuming 0.8 g protein per kilogram body weight would consume approximately 7.7 g of nitrogen and would require approximately 1,152 calories to remain in nitrogen equilibrium. Without these energy sources, proteins will be deaminated and used to meet energy needs. In illness, protein sparing does not occur to any appreciable extent (see below).
Illness causes protein catabolism and affects interpretation of serum protein values. In well-nourished individuals experiencing mild-to-moderate illness, negative nitrogen balance can occur over the short term, mainly in skeletal muscle. Protein storage will be restored once appetite, intake, and activity resume pre-illness levels. In this context, additional dietary protein is not required.
In critically ill patients and those with chronic illnesses involving infection and inflammation, protein requirements exceed the norm, and significant losses of protein occur. , Serum proteins commonly used to assess protein status are often influenced by the presence of illness. These include albumin, prealbumin, transthyretin, and retinol-binding protein. In otherwise healthy individuals, reduced protein and calorie intake does not cause hypoalbuminemia. However, in the presence of infection, liver and kidney diseases, surgery, and other conditions involving elevated metabolic rate, immune activation, and inflammation, cytokines direct protein synthesis toward that of acute-phase proteins, with subsequent reduction in serum proteins. Alternatively, cytokines will direct amino acids toward energy production rather than protein synthesis.
In terms of measuring the effectiveness of nutrition intervention, transthyretin and retinol-binding protein have the greatest clinical utility, because these are the earliest to rise when acute-phase protein levels decrease.
In metabolically stressed patients, both inadequate and excessive protein can cause problems. Even brief periods of protein-calorie deprivation can tip the balance from anabolism to catabolism in critically ill patients. Protein requirements in the range of 1.25 to 2.0 g/kg have been recommended for the critically ill by the American Society for Enteral and Parenteral Nutrition, and intakes in the range of 1.2 to 1.5 g/kg have been found helpful for promoting the healing of pressure ulcers. However, others have noted no additional reduction in body protein losses at levels above 1.2 g/kg protein. Clinical judgment regarding protein needs may therefore be essential for treating patients on an individualized basis.
Overfeeding of protein can also cause problems, including acidosis and azotemia. In patients not given adequate water, hypertonic dehydration (tube feeding syndrome) may result from obligate water losses that occur due to higher urea production. In certain conditions (e.g., chronic kidney disease), diets that provide lower amounts of protein than the Dietary Reference Intakes have been useful for improving clinical status (see Chronic Kidney Disease chapter).
Additional dangers of excess protein intake include idiopathic hypercalciuria, greater risk for type 2 diabetes,  cancer, and overall mortality. When protein constitutes > 35% of total energy intake, dangers include hyperaminoacidemia, hyperammonemia, hyperinsulinemia, nausea, and diarrhea. Other dangers associated with excess protein intake are related mainly to animal protein. These include gout, osteoporosis, and certain cancers (see individual chapters in this book for further information).
Dietary fats are the least-required macronutrient, with only a few grams per day needed for the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, among other functions. Foods contain combinations of saturated and unsaturated fats. Substantial quantities of saturated fat are found in dairy products, eggs, meats, and tropical oils (palm and coconut), while unsaturated fats predominate in liquid fats (e.g., vegetable oils). The latter are subdivided into monounsaturated fats (predominant in avocado and olive and canola oils) and polyunsaturated fats (found in nuts, seeds, seed oils, and, to a lesser extent, in meats).
Only the polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) are essential to human nutrition, since the body does not synthesize these. PUFA have roles as structural components of cell membranes and as signaling molecules (e.g., eicosanoids). The essential fatty acids (EFA) include linoleic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid) and alpha-linolenic acid (an omega-3 fatty acid). Some examples of food sources of omega-6 fatty acids are vegetable oils, avocados, and walnuts, while omega-3 fatty acids can be found in nuts, seeds, oils, and fish. Although people following vegan and vegetarian diets generally have lower intakes of omega-3 fatty acids than omnivores, a 2013 review reported that there is no evidence that they experience any adverse effects as a result.
The IOM recommends a ratio of dietary linoleic (omega-6) to alpha-linolenic (omega-3) acid intake of 10:1; however, this figure is controversial (some suggest a higher intake of omega-3). The suggested ratio of intake for different age groups is listed in Table 1, EFA Requirements (g/d).
The IOM Food and Nutrition Board currently recommends a range of fat intake of 20% to 35% of total energy intake. This, too, is controversial, given that good health outcomes have been achieved with considerably lower levels of fat intake. Most individuals can meet their EFA needs by consuming very small amounts of fat per day ( ~ 14 g or 0.5 oz), although many people are eating far more than this ( ~ 85 g or 3 oz, on average).
This level of excess consumption of fats is problematic because EFA derivatives are raw materials for eicosanoids (i.e., prostaglandins, leukotrienes, and thromboxanes), hormone-like chemicals with short-lived but powerful effects. Eicosanoids play significant roles in immune function, inflammation, thrombosis, proliferation, reproduction, gastroprotection, and hemostasis, in addition to other functions. The omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid linoleic acid and the omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid are metabolized to long-chain fatty acids (arachidonic and eicosapentanoic acids, respectively), which are the precursors for the eicosanoids. These long-chain derivatives are also found in some food products, with arachidonic acid being present in meat, eggs, and dairy products, and eicosapentanoic acid found in fish. These food sources are not required, however, as eicosanoids are produced in the body.
The type and amount of PUFA consumed (omega-6 vs. omega-3) are important considerations. Certain kinds of eicosanoids will predominate when omega-6 fats are in plentiful supply, as is the case with Western diets. These include prothrombotic thromboxanes (e.g., thromboxane A2); immunosuppressive prostaglandins (e.g., prostaglandin E2); and proinflammatory leukotrienes (e.g., leukotriene B4). Reducing the intake of omega-6 fatty acids (particularly arachidonic acid from animal products) while proportionately increasing the intake of omega-3 fatty acids results in the production of eicosanoids with reduced potential to do harm (e.g., thromboxane A3, prostaglandin E3, and leukotriene B5).
The benefit of limiting fat. Saturated fats tend to raise cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations (see Obesity and Hyperlipidemia chapters); reducing saturated fat intake tends to improve blood lipid concentrations. Reducing total fat (not just replacing saturated with unsaturated fatty acids) is helpful for reducing body weight. As noted above, fat provides 9 calories per gram, more than twice that of protein or carbohydrate. A 2014 systematic review of 67 studies reported that, although successful long-term weight loss involves energy deficit, a reduction in fat intake can lead to an energy deficit even when individuals eat to satiety. These findings agree with earlier reports that individuals who are successfully maintaining significant weight loss typically consume less than 25% of their total daily calories from fat.
Intake of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids should also be limited. PUFA are particularly sensitive to lipid peroxidation, resulting in generation of reactive oxygen species (superoxide and hydroxyl radicals, hydrogen peroxide, singlet oxygen, hypochlorous acid). Diets that are both low in antioxidants (e.g., Western diets) and high in PUFA may result in a condition termed oxidative stress, which damages DNA, proteins, and carbohydrates, thereby contributing to a spectrum of common chronic diseases. , Peroxidation of PUFA in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) increases the amount of oxidized LDL, a key stimulus for atherosclerosis progression.
In general, fatty foods provide very few nutrients. Other than essential fatty acids, vegetable oils provide only vitamins E and K, which can be obtained from other sources. Ideally, fats should not be added to meals. Rather, they should be consumed in modest amounts from foods that are a vehicle for other essential nutrients. For example, nuts provide essential fatty acids, magnesium, copper, folic acid, potassium, fiber, and vitamin E.
