Eating Berries, Drinking Tea May Cut Men's Risk for Parkinson's ...

Hemera/Thinkstock(BOSTON) ? While Parkinson?s disease is on the rise, now there may be a way to reduce the probability of men getting the disorder of the central nervous system, according to a study published Wednesday in the journal Neurology.
?
Research from Harvard University suggest that eating foods such as berries and apples and drinking tea and red wine may protect you against the disease. That?s because these food and drink items are rich in flavonoids, a water-soluble pigment, that helps to inhibit the onset of Parkinson?s.

Researchers studied around 130,000 men and women for over 20 years, and 800 developed Parkinson?s.

Among men, there was a 40-percent decrease in developing Parkinson?s disease for those who ate the most flavonoids compared to those who ate the least.

Eating berries more than five times a week apparently had the strongest benefit ? but only for men. It is still unclear why flavonoids have no measurable impact on preventing Parkinson?s disease for women.

?For total flavonoids, the beneficial result was only in men,? said lead author of the study, Dr. Xiang Gao, a research scientist at Harvard School of Public Health. ?But, berries are protective in both men and women.?

Pantech Jest 2 (Verizon Wireless)

The original Pantech Jest (2 stars) wasn't all that funny, and unfortunately the new Jest 2 isn't much of an improvement. It swaps the first version's fatally flawed touchpad for a proper five-way control pad, and it's now a true world phone as well. If you want something small for voice calls and frequent texting, it's only a decent, middling choice now. Aside from its odd shape, this cell phone still doesn't stand out in any way.

Design, Controls, and Voice Quality
The Jest 2 looks a lot like the original version, which isn't a great thing at all, but at least it's comfortable to use. It measures a squat 3.7 by 2.6 by 0.6 inches (HWD) and weighs 4.1 ounces. The smooth, glossy plastic and rounded edges make it especially easy to slip the Jest into a pants pocket or purse, while the rubberized back panel adds comfort during long phone calls. The 2.4-inch, 320-by-240-pixel LCD looks bright and colorful.

The controls are a vast improvement over the last model, with a regular five-way control pad front and center and two hardware function keys in lieu of finicky capacitive buttons. Pantech also moved the four main function keys down a bit, and blended them into a single button bar with a textured surface that's easy to use one-handed. Pantech left the original keyboard largely intact, although the new one has more attractive, metallic red accents and brighter backlighting, which looks sharp.

Unlike the first model, the Pantech Jest 2 is a real globetrotter, with dual-band 1xRTT (850/1900 MHz) and quad-band EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) support for calls made overseas. But despite the 3G/CDMA sticker on the side, the Jest 2 is squarely a 2G-only device. There's no Wi-Fi either, but feature phones usually don't have Wi-Fi.

Voice quality was pretty poor, with a honking, midrangey sound in the earpiece that was uncomfortable to listen to. Transmissions through the microphone sounded thin and brittle, with plenty of street noise filtering through. Reception was average. Calls sounded fine through an Aliph Jawbone Era Bluetooth headset ($129, 4 stars) and the Nuance-powered voice dialing worked well over Bluetooth. The speakerphone sounded a bit harsh but had decent gain, if not quite enough for use outdoors. Compared with the first version, battery life fell almost an hour to 5 hours and 57 minutes of talk time, but this is still pretty good.?

User Interface, Apps, and Multimedia
This is really just a voice call and texting phone, but we'll dive in and talk about its other features just for completion's sake. The home screen's animated wallpaper is cute. The main menu consists of nine icons arranged in a grid pattern. Verizon finally dropped its ridiculous $5-per-month charge for e-mail, and now gives you free access as part of the $10 data plan (which also lets you browse the Web). One nice bonus: You get Opera Mini as the default browser. Opera's server side compression helps with delivering Web pages more quickly, though there's only so much you can do on 2G; stick with WAP sites and it works well enough. You also get voice-enabled, turn-by-turn GPS directions with VZ Navigator for an additional $10 per month.

The Jest 2 still isn't much of a multimedia phone, though. The non-standard 2.5mm headphone jack makes finding decent sounding earbuds virtually impossible. There's just 44MB of free internal memory?bizarre, since the original version had almost a gigabyte free. At least the Jest 2 recognized all tracks on my 32GB SanDisk microSD card, not just the ones in a specific folder. Music tracks sounded clear and bright through Plantronics BackBeat Go Bluetooth headphones ($79, 4 stars), and I heard none of the dropouts that plagued the first Pantech Jest. Standalone video playback is out, though.

Camera and Conclusions
The 2-megapixel camera has no flash or auto-focus, and is, to put it bluntly, a total disaster. There's about a second of delay between when you hear the shutter sound and when the photo is actually taken, meaning you'll have to sit perfectly still or risk blurring the result. Even when I did sit still, photos had plenty of color noise and were never completely sharp. The video recorder is also completely useless, thanks to its maximum 176-by-144-pixel video size, which is barely larger than the resolution of an iPhone app icon. There's no excuse for this on a phone today, even a free one, especially since plenty of low-end devices with 1.3-megapixel cameras snap usable photos.

Feature phones are a tough sell to begin with these days, thanks to steadily dropping smartphone prices. The Jest 2 acquits itself better than the first model, but just barely. It's a decent buy if you want a free phone for lots of texting and voice calls, and you have a separate point-and-shoot camera and iPod. Another good texting alternative is the LG Cosmos 2 (Free, 3 stars), with its better voice quality, more traditional dimensions, roomier horizontal QWERTY keyboard, and second numeric keypad. Our favorite feature phone on Verizon Wireless remains the admittedly expensive Casio G'zOne Ravine 2 ($199.99, 4 stars), which offers stellar voice quality and stands up to plenty of abuse, although it's not a texting phone like the Jest 2.

Benchmarks
Continuous talk time:?5 hours 57 minutes

Same Stuff Better Box: Maintaining Your Air Conditioner

A crucial upkeep task that will make sure the efficiency of your air conditioner is to typically replace or clean its filters. Clogged, dirty filters block standard air flow and reduce a system's potency seriously. With standard air flow obstructed, air that bypasses the filter may carry mud directly into the evaporator coil and impair the coil's heat-absorbing capacity. Keeping the filter clean can lower your air conditioner's energy consumption by 5% to 15%. For central aircon systems, filters are usually located somewhere along the return duct's length. Common filter locations are in walls, ceilings, furnaces, or in the air conditioner itself.

Room air conditioning systems have a filter mounted in the grill that faces into the room. Some sorts of filters are reusable; others must be replaced. They can be found in a spread of types and efficiencies. Clean or replace your air conditioning system's filter or filters every month or two in the cooling season. Filters may need more frequent attention if the air conditioner is in continual use, is subjected to dusty conditions, or you have fur-bearing pets in the house. Barwick Heating & Cooling also recommends advanced air cleaners that can filter air much better than standard filters can. An advanced air cleaner can filter pet dander, pollen, bacteria and even the flu virus from your indoor air. This gives you a more healthy home, and keeps your HVAC system much neater.

The air conditioner's evaporator coil and condenser coil collect dirt over their months and years of service. A clean filter forestalls the evaporator coil from soiling quickly. In time nevertheless , the evaporator coil will still collect mud. This dirt reduces air movement and insulates the coil, reducing its capability to absorb heat. To prevent this problem, take a look at your evaporator coil every year and clean it as necessary.

An alternative choice we advocate for indoor air quality is a UV light. Mould can affect an evaporator coil's efficiency, and the dark, damp interior of the coil system is a perfect place for mold to grow. A UV light mounted within the coil will kill mold and keep it from growing. Outside condenser coils can also become extremely filthy if the outdoor environment is dusty or if there's foliage close by. You can easily see the condenser coil and notice if dirt is collecting on its fins. If that is so it must be cleaned. We recommend that you decrease dirt and waste close to the air conditioner itself. Your dryer vents, falling leaves, and grass mower are all potential sources of dust and debris. Cleaning the area round the coil, removing any waste, and trimming foliage back at least 2 feet (0.6 meters) allow for adequate air circulation around the condenser.

The aluminium fins on evaporator and condenser coils are simply bent and can block air flow thru the coil. We employ a tiny tool called a "fin comb" to brush the fins into just about original condition. Another checkpoint for air conditioning upkeep is the condensate drain. We are going to run a stiff wire thru the unit's drain channels to unblock them. Clogged drain channels forestall a unit from reducing humidity, and the ensuing excess moisture may tarnish walls or carpet. At the beginning of each cooling season, we suggest that you check the seal between the air conditioner and the window frame to guarantee it makes contact with the unit's metal case. Moisture can damage this seal, allowing cool air to escape from your house. In the winter, either cover your room air conditioner or remove and store it. Covering the outside unit of a central air conditioner will protect the unit from winter weather and debris. This cannot be done naturally if the unit is a heat pump and used during the Winter season.

Governor's Schedule: Substance Light, Interview Heavy | The Nerve

One of the duties of Gov. Nikki Haley?s press office is to compile the chief executive?s weekly schedule and email it to media members and others interested in the governor?s plans for the immediate future.

Haley?s schedule is often light on substance ? the notice for this week, for example, has just a single event ? so the press office has taken to recapping some of Haley?s activities from the previous week.

It?s understood that some days are going to be busier than others, but one has to wonder what the point in some of the prior recaps is.

Take the listing for Tuesday, March 27, as detailed by the governor?s office:

• 9 a.m. ? Gov. Haley spoke at the Office of Small and Minority Business Assistance?s Trade Fair, Columbia Conference Center, 169 Laurelhurst Avenue, Columbia.
• 10 a.m. ? Gov. Haley arrived at the Office of the Governor for office hours, State House, Columbia.
• 10:30 a.m. ? Television news interview with WCIV ABC News 4 Charleston, Dean Stephens.
• 10:50 a.m. ? Television news interview with WYFF News 4 Greenville, Myra Ruiz.
• 11:25 a.m. ? Television news interview with WPDE Channel 15, Tim McGinnis.
• 11:45 a.m. ? Interview with WLTX 19, Jennifer Bellamy.
• 1 p.m. ? Magazine interview.
• 2 p.m. ? Gov. Haley visited Marion County for agency meetings, Marion.
• 2:30 p.m. ? Television news interview.
• 4:05 p.m. ? Newspaper interview.

Beyond the question of why a sitting governor would release a schedule detailing the previous week?s events, it?s curious to note that on the day in question just two non-interviews are listed:

A speech at the Office of Small and Minority Business Assistance?s Trade Fair, and a visit to Marion County for agency meetings.

There was plenty of time for the media, however, with five television interviews, one newspaper interview and one magazine interview during the day.

It?s also interesting that the first four television interviews were scheduled back to back. Each, it appears, was from 20 to 45 minutes in length and with local stations, which the press office made sure to identify by including their call letters.

However, the three later interviews were simply listed as ?magazine interview,? ?television news interview? and ?newspaper interview.?

Judging from the schedule, the magazine was allotted an hour and the television interview appears to have been given fully 95 minutes. It?s unclear how long the newspaper interview lasted because it was the final event listed on the schedule, and no end time was included.

The governor?s press office didn?t return a call seeking information on the identity of the latter three media outlets.

But given the fact that the interviews were longer than those with the local stations and Haley?s staff chose not to reveal any identifying features in their email, one suspects they were national in nature.

Perhaps not coincidently, Haley?s book was released Tuesday, one week after the above interviews took place.
