ダイエット後に体重がダイエット前もしくはそれ以上に増加する現象。体重を減らすことには成功したけど、すぐに元に戻ってしまい、結果としてダイエットに失敗してしまうこと。元に戻るだけならずダイエット開始時よりも体重が増えてしまうことも多い。
おうがすとも、初ダイエットで、88kg→85kg→92kg というリバウンドを経験しました。
リバウンドは、停滞期中にダイエットを中断することにより起こります。停滞期対策にあるように、停滞期中はホメオスタシス効果により、最大限のカロリーを吸収し、最小限のカロリーで生きれるような体質になっています。(生存のための高性能マシーン化！）
その状態で、ダイエットを中断して食事を元に戻し運動をやめてしまったら、体にはカロリーがありあまる状態となり、それは全て脂肪として蓄えられます。その結果ダイエット開始時の体重に戻るだけでなく、以前よりも体重が増えてしまうことになりやすいのです。
基礎代謝とは、体を横たえてまったく体を動かしていなくても、呼吸をする、心臓を動かす、体温を保つなどさまざまな生命活動のために常に使っているエネルギー。つまり、「生きていくために最低限必要な最小のエネルギー」のことで1日の総消費エネルギー量のうち、基礎代謝量は約70パーセントを占めています。
70%も占めているのですから、ダイエットとはつまり基礎代謝力を上げることになるのですが、基礎代謝力は、体の大きさと筋肉率に比例します。食事制限、特に極端な食事制限とすると落ちていきます。脂肪も落ちるけど筋肉も落ちるんですね。ダイエットをするとこの基礎代謝力はほとんど落ちていきます。
基礎代謝が落ちているのに食事量を元に戻したらそれは即リバウンドへとつながります。恐ろしいことにリバウンドで増えた分は、筋肉でなくてほとんど脂肪として増えるんですね。そうして基礎代謝力は低下し、以前よりも太りやすい体質になっていくのです。

No More Star Wars: George Lucas Retires From Blockbusters |
They call it the Monty Hall Paradox. Back in the '60s and '70s, Let's Make a Deal was a popular game show. The host, Monty Hall, would present a random contestant with 3 doors or curtains, numbered 1, 2 and 3. Behind one was a prize, but crazy stuff like a year's supply of creamed corn would be behind the other two.
Contestants would pick one of the three doors and Monty would have the lovely stage girl open a different door that has a clunker behind it. Now there are only two doors and one had the real prize; the one the contestant selected or the other one. So far, this is pretty simple but here's the twist — Monty Hall asks the contestant if they would like to switch their choice to the other door. This is where it becomes a paradox. The contestants almost overwhelmingly stick with their first choice, even though elementary mathematical deduction shows that switching increases the odds of winning from 1/3 to 2/3. It's counterintuitive and most people think: There are two doors left, therefore I have a 50% chance of winning, no matter which one I pick, and they are scientifically proven to be wrong by relatively simple probability equations. It's even been tested. Look it up if you don't believe me.
I do this a lot — think about paradoxes that epitomize a predicament. The Monty Hall Paradox is one I think about a lot because I find myself or others making choices only to find out later they were not the correct or best one, even though it seemed, on the surface, to be a simple enough problem. Hindsight is 20/20, so they say.

Take part in the on-line Global Shark Assessment Survey.
The Global Shark Assessment is a project that aims to evaluate how shark populations have changed since the beginning of industrial-scale fishing, and make predictions about how these populations will respond to global climate change and to different methods of fishing and protection. They use scuba diver's observations to census shark populations at different locations around the world.
With overwhelming evidence that shark populations have declined dramatically over the last 50 years, there are still places where some shark species are persisting and even thought to be thriving. Identification of these species and areas is an important step in determining the best method for recovery. In a time when the number of no-take zones and fishing restrictions are increasing, there is a need for acquiring data through alternative, non-extractive methods. All scuba divers/snorkelers that have been in the ocean can help with this effort.
As a twelve-year-old, my life consisted of watching re-runs of What's Happening, planning my wedding to Justin Timberlake, and playing unhealthy amounts of Grand Theft Auto and DOOM. Then came the tragic 1999 shootings at Columbine High; sparking a heated debate about the role of violent video games in the actions of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, both players of my favourite game, DOOM. My parents used it as an excuse to pull the plug on my pixelated carnage. The link between video games and violent shootings was raised again after the Virginia Tech massacre in 2007, and more recently, the Anders Breivik killing spree in Norway.

Edwin Catmull is a thin man in his mid-sixties, with a Ph.D., wire-rim glasses, and graying beard. In interviews he comes across as soft-spoken, almost pensive, although one can read years of wisdom behind a kind expression. He is earnest and straightforward, talks patiently, and, in most every way, resembles your favorite college professor.
But Dr. Catmull is not a professor.
He is the President of two of the most powerful and well-respected companies in the world: Disney Animation Studios and Pixar, the company who literally created computer-generated animation.

Linking up with Diary of a SAHM for iBOT today…
There seems to be some misconception in the media about caesarean births.
The first that I am aware of is that women who go under the knife are "too posh to push" and that all obstetricians are "caesar happy".
The second is that having a caesarean birth is an easy way out. A scary procedure to get out of having to endure the pain and indignity of labour.
Right, here we go…
At 33 weeks, with all the information at my disposal – the major point being that Twin 2 (Oscar, that's him at 31 weeks up there) would struggle and possibly not survive a vaginal birth – the public Fetal Medicine Unit obstetrician and I decided that I would have a "medically required" caesarean.
I was not pushed, scared or made to feel stupid for wanting a vaginal birth.
At one point I was even told that a caesarean birth was not necessarily safer than a vaginal one.
My desire for a twin vaginal birth was supported from my very first appointment with the Fetal Medicine Unit at The Canberra Hospital.
In fact, no one ever said to me: "YOU HAVE TO HAVE A CAESAREAN OR YOUR BABIES WILL DIE!!!"

The Ab Lounge Sport has the following features:
1. First Round, 15th overall: Deltha O'Neal, Cornerback, California
Deltha O'Neal, by all accounts at that time, was a great pick. He was an All-Pro in 2001 and really helped the Broncos in the return game. He wasn't a great corner, but he could hold his own. O'Neal's career as a Bronco ended on draft day 2004, when he was packaged along with two other picks for the Cincinnati Bengals' first round pick.
He signed with the Houston Texans in camp in 2009, but that turned out to be it for his NFL career.
2. Second Round, 40th overall: Ian Gold, Linebacker, Michigan
Gold played four years with the Broncos before becoming a free agent in 2004, where he signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After a short stint with the Bucs, Gold re-signed with Denver from 2005-2007 and was a big part of the 2005-06 defenses that were among the best in the NFL.
He was a Pro Bowl selection in 2001, and finished his career with 491 tackles, 17 sacks, and four interceptions.
Last week we showed you how to extend your network without wires, this week we're looking at how you can use use an existing hardwire network to easily and quickly extend your wireless network using simple access points.
After we published our guide How To Extend Your Wireless network with Tomato-Powered Routers, we received a variety of reader questions regarding other tips and tricks one could use to extend a wireless network. Bill wrote in with the following question which echoes quite a few similar emails:
I read and followed your guide last Tuesday. Everything worked as promised, but I've noticed the secondary router seems a little flaky. Is there a more bare-bones way to go about this technique than setting up the Tomato routers via WDS as you have us do in the tutorial? My house is wired with Ethernet but, alas, very few of my devices actually use hard wire anymore. What can I do? All my routers are running current releases of TomatoUSB.
If Bill didn't have the existing LAN in place, we'd have to tell him to try a different firmware (like DD-WRT) that allows for true Wi-Fi repeating. Since he has an existing hardwired Ethernet LAN, however, he's in luck.
In a situation with no Ethernet network, you have to rely completely on wireless technology to link the access points together (as we did when we used WDS to link the two Tomato routers together last week). When you have a hardwired network, however, things get radically easier as you can use the Ethernet as a backbone for the network and convert the secondary routers to simple access points that require little effort to configure and deploy.
It's no secret that streaming media startup Boxee is no longer supporting the PC version of its media center software, but after today it might be hard to find.
Boxee is known for producing streaming media software that allows you to access web content from your television set and manage your digital media collections. Last month, the company announced that it would end support for its PC applications, and instead, focus all resources on connected devices, such as the company-branded D-Link set-top box (Boxee Box), the iPad, and others.
Is anything more frustrating than an ant infestation? At this time of year, lots of people encounter the little pests...
Infestations aren't necessarily caused by messiness. The weather may be what drives them inside in the first place. Very rainy weather can cause them to go indoors seeking shelter, and drying up may draw them back out, eventually. However, once they're in, if there are crumbs or other food available to them, they could be tough to get rid of.
Maybe we should just give up trying to maintain secure enterprise networks; its just too hard.
When we surveyed practitioners, 71% of respondents admitted that their networks are exposed to external threats due to misconfiguration issues in their security device infrastructure. Verizon reports that 79% of organizations fail to maintain PCI compliance from their prior years assessment. More than 50 percent told us they had no idea how many of their organizations internal hosts were exposed to the Internet.
We know that even in this era of constrained budgets, enterprises are spending more on network securityand yet 75% of network and security pros agree that the advantage is still on the side of the attacker. Verizon reposts that security erosion over the course of the year between PCI audits is the norm with most enterprises, despite the fact that we know theres a correlation between slippage and data breaches.
Maybe its time to re-evaluate our priorities. As our CTO Dr. Mike points out, theres a general consensus to focus on the core controls. If youre already covering 90% of the basics, security pros agree its more wise to push for 100% versus expand the number of controls.
But if youre focused on the core controls, how do you know what percentage level youre at, and where the areas of exposure are? Thats where security metrics come in.
Kids' love of kites can be put to good purpose in many ways, at any time of year for children activities. While most adults consider them to simply be a summertime toy for breezy afternoons, kites can also serve as a winter reminder than summer will, eventually, return.
There are create-your-own kits that allow children of all ages to color and decorate theirs however they choose, long before the sunny, breezy days of summer arrive. You can certainly buy kites ready-made, but decorating your own adds a more profound touch to the experience of setting sail on an open sky.
It's that almost-February time of year, when Kansas City gardeners begin plotting.
Hmmmmm. What to plant?
As of this week, they're getting new advice from the federal government: A wider variety of species can safely grow here because the winters aren't as harsh as they used to be.
Kansas City is now officially in the warmer planting Zone 6 instead of the cooler Zone 5.
That's not news for the butterfly bush in your yard that used to die back almost to the ground every winter but now is hardly fazed.
Or the nandina that never used to flower in these parts but now produces gorgeous red berries like clusters of grapes.
Gardeners have understood for years that plants thriving south of here, say in balmy Oklahoma, are now comfortable at this latitude.
"You didn't use to see much crepe myrtle around here and it was not offered much in garden centers," said Dennis Patton, Johnson County Extension horticulture agent. "Now it's a staple up here in Kansas City."
The new color-coded map of plant hardiness zones is the first revision of the official guide since 1990. The zones are based on the coldest extremes in a given location — and those averages are not as cold as they used to be.
Kansas City's old zone meant the coldest temperatures ranged from minus 10 to minus 20 degrees. Its new zone means the coldest it gets is between zero and minus 10.

In extremely uncertain environments, shaping strategies may deliver higher returns, with lower risk, than they do in less uncertain times.
Shape or adapt? For years, executives have regarded the question as perhaps their most fundamental strategic choice. Is it better for a company's competitive position to try to influence, or even determine, the outcome of crucial and currently uncertain elements of an industry's structure and conduct? Or is the wiser course to scope out defensible positions within an industry's existing structure and then to move with speed and agility to recognize and capture new opportunities when the market changes?
As globalization, digitization, and unfettered capital markets raise levels of uncertainty and rewrite definitions of opportunities and risks, this basic strategic choice has morphed into a more complex and high-stakes dilemma. The right strategic bets can return far higher payoffs, far more quickly; the wrong ones carry a much higher risk of systemic failure. Betting big today may fundamentally reshape a market on a global scale to the advantage of a company or quickly produce losses that can throw it into bankruptcy. A company may avoid foolhardy mistakes by waiting for uncertainty to diminish, or it may squander the chance to lay claim to first-mover advantages.
Epilepsy is the term for a group of disorders that have a primary symptom of seizures. A seizure is an irregular behavior or movement that is directly related to atypical electrical activity within the brain. A term that doctors frequently use when describing how seizures affect the brain is called sporadic electrical storms. Just because someone has a seizure does not mean that person is epileptic. Affecting nearly one percent of the population, epilepsy is a common medical illness. Almost nine percent of Americans will experience one or more seizures in the course of their lives, and approximately 2.5 million people in the United States have epilepsy.

Have you ever seen something that you wanted to be really good, but realized, no, it wasn't? Like, you were thinking this could be awesome, but then when you get into it, you realize it's just kind of...bad. Yes John, we know, Star Wars Episodes 1-3, let it GO.
HAH! Stupid voices inside my head, that wasn't what I was talking about.
No, but you were thinking it.
Shut up, go back to building the harp trap.
W00t! I'm outta here!
Okay, now that's done. So here's the thing: there are a lot of people a lot who have an interest in learning how to program, and would like to teach themselves. The problem is, pretty much every self-paced course makes the same mistake: it leads you through a bunch of rote lessons, that you fundamentally don't care about, and you lose interest because you can't stay interested enough to remember what you did ten minutes ago.
Those are the good ones. The bad ones leave out info that a n00b would care about, are inconsistent in their presentation, etc. Which brings me to the subject of this post...CodeYear. When I first heard about this, I did enough research to realize that it was a cool idea, and was in a language I've wanted to get better at for years: Javascript. I don't do real well with dot languages, but JS actually has some value in my personal and professional life, so I've some motivation. I'm also not new to programming, I've done it in a few different environments over the years, including some visual 4GLs, and of course, my latest fun toy, AppleScriptObjC.
So I'm new to JS, but not programming in general. Hell, almost finished that CompSci degree once.
But I get into CodeYear, and well...damnit. The first day, the day when you want to hook people...and it's just rote monkeywork, boring exercises, and inconsistent presentation. For example, semicolons. Now, some languages require them. Some don't. In JS, they're optional. However, if you're going to use semicolons, then explain why they matter, why you're using them in the lesson, and enforce their use. Even if it's just for "if you ever want to learn a different language, this is a good habit to get into". But be consistent. Don't say "you should use a semicolon after each statement", then, when I leave one off accidentally, not even mention it.
Really, here are my thoughts on it as I'm going through day one:
it's monkeywork. For example, i messed up because I forgot a semicolon. Instead of taking that as a chance to teach me why that's a bug, it just tells me I screwed up and moves on. In another example, I deliberately left off the semicolon, and now I don't get an error. So do I need that or not? If I'm new, I don't know.Why isn't there a semicolon in the substring() lesson
