DIEP flap surgery is the new gold standard in breast reconstruction following mastectomy for breast cancer. Learn about the procedure and how to find a top DIEP flap surgeon.

Among a comparatively small group of people, this is one of the most important controversies of the 20th century. The Old Latin Mass is to religion what the gold standard is to political economics. Everyone, Catholic or not, has a stake in the outcome. Read this to learn more.

In the past two weeks we’ve devoted a little time to studying domaining and what is all involved with being a domainer. It can be very time consuming, requires a lot of research, and does require a little risk, but the payout can be and usually is huge.

A brief explanation of why deficits are structurally inevitable and why Ron Paul wants to revamp the money system

Good little book (not an article) but it makes a great case for a 100% gold standard. Explains why fractional reserve banking is a fraud. The total fraud that is the Federal Reserve system. A must read.

ω−3 fatty acids (commonly spelled omega-3 fatty acids) are a family of polyunsaturated fatty acids which have in common a carbon-carbon double bond in the ω−3 position.Important nutritionally essential ω−3 fatty acids are: α-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). For a more complete list, see list of ω−3 fatty acids. The human body cannot synthesize ω−3 fatty acids de novo, but it can form 20- and 22-carbon unsaturated ω−3 fatty acids from the eighteen-carbon ω−3 fatty acid, α-linolenic acid. These conversions occur competitively with ω−6 fatty acids, which are essential closely related chemical analogues that are derived from linoleic acid. Both the ω−3 α-linolenic acid and ω−6 linoleic acid are essential nutrients which must be obtained from food. Synthesis of the longer ω−3 fatty acids from linolenic acid within the body is competitively slowed by the ω−6 analogues. Thus accumulation of long-chain ω−3 fatty acids in tissues is more effective when they are obtained directly from food or when competing amounts of ω−6 analogs do not greatly exceed the amounts of ω−3.
