PROTECT YOUR RIG FROM Mother Nature
Other preventive maintenance activities that can prolong the productive life of equipment includes the periodic inspection and replacement of filters, lubricating mating surfaces, periodically applying UV ray-blocking solutions to polymers, and testing lubricants and coolants at regular intervals. Ultrasonic testing inspects the internal structure of equipment, making it possible to detect changes in material thickness, cracks, voids and other structural defects. Another way to protect drilling rigs - active or idle - from the elements is to shelter the rig from damaging conditions. Because drilling rigs are large, it would be cost-prohibitive to erect a structure to cover the rig.

Culture of Collaboration
Today, people are on the leading edge of a major change in how companies are managed. Strategic leaders are talking about social hierarchies and social, community-based styles of collaboration and goal-setting. Companies are engaging their internal information markets (private information of their employees) in grassroots versions of management, as opposed to purely executive-driven, inflexible, hierarchical management. In practice, social recognition means that peers are inspired to publicly recognize each other's accomplishments on an ongoing basis. A culture of collaboration also means that no single person comes up with the ultimate, definitive assessment of someone's performance. This is anathema to old-fashioned executives and micromanagers. Collaboration is a business process movement much larger than HR or performance management.

Recognizing REWARDS
The numbers on employee engagement are out, and they're compelling. Several leading research firms reporting on the quantifiable value of increased employee engagement concluded that engaged employees dramatically improve a company's bottom-line performance. One of the most powerful tools for engaging employees is strategic recognition. Effective programs deliver a unified global platform for giving rewards that are culturally relevant and personally meaningful worldwide. Unfortunately, too many companies today do not see the value of employee engagement, at least not from a strategic level. The first step in tapping into the enormous potential of strategic recognition is ushering this effort up the corporate ladder so that it gets the full support and attention at the executive level. Here are three essential principles for success: 1. Follow the rules of operational excellence. 2. Fairly and equitably recognize all employees. 3. Facilitate corporate governance over recognition.

Normal Limits in Relation to Age, Body Size and Gender of Two-Dimensional Echocardiographic Aortic Root Dimensions in Persons ≥15 Years of Age
Nomograms to predict normal aortic root diameter for body surface area (BSA) in broad ranges of age have been widely used but are limited by lack of consideration of gender effects, jumps in upper limits of aortic diameter among age strata, and data from older teenagers. Sinus of Valsalva diameter was measured by American Society of Echocardiography convention in normal-weight, nonhypertensive, nondiabetic subjects ≥15 years old without aortic valve disease from clinical or population-based samples. Analyses of covariance and linear regression with assessment of residuals identified determinants and developed predictive models for normal aortic root diameter. In 1,207 apparently normal subjects ≥15 years old (54% women), aortic root diameter was 2.1 to 4.3 cm. Aortic root diameter was strongly related to BSA and height (r = 0.48 for the 2 comparisons), age (r = 0.36), and male gender (+2.7 mm adjusted for BSA and age, p <0.001 for all comparisons). Multivariable equations using age, gender, and BSA or height predicted aortic diameter strongly (R = 0.674 for the 2 comparisons, p <0.001) with minimal relation of residuals to age or body size: for BSA 2.423 + (age [years] × 0.009) + (BSA [square meters] × 0.461) − (gender [1 = man, 2 = woman] × 0.267), SEE 0.261 cm; for height 1.519 + (age [years] × 0.010) + (height [centimeters] × 0.010) − (gender [1 = man, 2 = woman] × 0.247), SEE 0.215 cm. In conclusion, aortic root diameter is larger in men and increases with body size and age. Regression models incorporating body size, age, and gender are applicable to adolescents and adults without limitations of previous nomograms.

Sequence Variations in PCSK9, Low LDL, and Protection against Coronary Heart Disease
This study demonstrates a strong protective effect of three variants of
PCSK9
against coronary heart disease. Two of the variants were found predominantly in black subjects, and one variant was found predominantly in white subjects.
This study demonstrates a strong protective effect of three variants of
PCSK9
against coronary heart disease.
Experimental, genetic, and epidemiologic data support the concept that an elevated plasma level of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol is a primary causal factor in the pathogenesis of coronary heart disease (CHD). Population-based studies consistently demonstrate a positive correlation between plasma levels of LDL cholesterol and the prevalence of CHD, and all five single-gene disorders that result in elevated LDL levels are associated with premature coronary atherosclerosis.

The question regarding the reverse situation naturally arises. If elevations in LDL cholesterol cause CHD, do reductions in LDL cholesterol prevent this disease? Reductions in plasma LDL cholesterol levels have been strongly associated with . . .
