Latos' return signals better days ahead for Reds
MILWAUKEE -- The Cincinnati Reds are not yet where they want to be. But now, at least, they are in a spot in which where they want to be has become clearly visible.
Saturday night, for the first time this season, the Reds were able to use Mat Latos, a proven big league winner. Latos, returning from both elbow and knee surgeries to start his first game of the season, was highly effective.View Full Game Coverage
MILWAUKEE -- The Cincinnati Reds are not yet where they want to be. But now, at least, they are in a spot in which where they want to be has become clearly visible.
Saturday night, for the first time this season, the Reds were able to use Mat Latos, a proven big league winner. Latos, returning from both elbow and knee surgeries to start his first game of the season, was highly effective.View Full Game Coverage
He shut out a difficult Milwaukee lineup in hitter-friendly Miller Park for six innings and left with a 1-0 lead. But the Cincinnati bullpen surrendered two runs in both the seventh and eighth innings and the Reds eventually lost, 4-2.
So this was not a night for outright jubilation. Still, Latos' performance had been extremely encouraging.
"He did his job," Reds manager Bryan Price said. "He did exactly what we had hoped he would do and we will continue to build him up, innings and pitch-wise."
Latos' return was a definite plus, but it was part of an even more encouraging pattern for the Reds. Battered by injuries, they have returned not to full health, but to a level of health at which they should be the kind of team they expected to be.
This was, after all, a team that qualified for the postseason three times in the last four years, and won the National League Central twice in that period. The Reds are not supposed to be south of .500. They are just below that mark now, but they don't' expect to stay there.
"Really, almost all the pieces are in place, but how many teams are playing with all their pieces right now?" Price said before Saturday night's game. "Now we're like everybody else; we're missing a couple of pieces, but for the most part we're intact. We have a lineup that looks like the lineup that we were going to have coming out of Spring Training. Our starting rotation is whole. Our bullpen is closer to whole.
"I think there's a much stronger feeling of optimism that we can get to be the kind of team we thought we were going to be coming out of Spring Training. Absolutely, I think there's a renewed vigor to the club, just by seeing these pieces being put back together again."
The Reds look impressive from the other dugout as well. Asked if he thought the Reds were significantly better than their record suggested, Brewers manager Ron Roenicke concurred.
"Absolutely. You look at their five starters, you look at their bullpen, and then go through their lineup. That's a good lineup," Roenicke said. "I think health has a huge amount to do with what goes on. That's what happened to us last year. We lost guys, and this year they lost guys. But they're back healthy and they look good. "
Even as Latos was activated, lefty reliever Sean Marshall returned to the disabled list with shoulder soreness. This isn't a pain-free roster. But at least the Reds, who have had 12 players on the DL this season, have reached a point where they can compete at the level they expected.
The performance of Latos was evidence on behalf of that notion. He worked six shutout innings, giving up just two hits with no walks and four strikeouts. He worked efficiently, needing 87 pitches. He might have been available for the seventh inning, but for a 13-pitch at-bat by Milwaukee second baseman Scooter Gennett that ended in a double in the sixth. Latos believed it should have ended with a third strike twice during the at-bat, but home-plate umpire Brian O'Nora did not share that belief.
Like everybody else in the Reds clubhouse, Latos was downcast about the loss. But he was happy to be back on the mound.
"Emotional for sure," he said about returning to the rotation. "First time back and it's been a while. It's been a struggle to get where I was today. It was definitely good. The outcome kind of sucks, but that's baseball. They're in first place for a reason."
It appeared that Latos had the command not of a pitcher who had missed the first 66 games of a season, but of a pitcher who had been on the mound on a regular basis.
"I didn't walk anybody, so that's a plus," Latos said. "In the past I've let it get away from me, trying to strike a lot of people out, trying to make sure I get to that two-strike count and then try to fool them.
"I think I'm more of an asset when I go deeper in the ballgames, especially right now when I'm only available for half a season. I haven't been pitching with these guys for a couple of months so I definitely want to go as long as I can to help out the bullpen as much as I can."
In the near future, you could expect Latos after six fine innings to take care of the seventh inning himself. You could also see, even through a painful defeat, renewed reasons for the Reds to be optimistic.

Hernandez hails 'unbelievable' Giggs
Javier Hernandez has praised Manchester United's interim manager Ryan Giggs, saying it has been an "unbelievable" honour to play for the Welshman.
Giggs has been in temporary charge at Old Trafford since David Moyes' sacking on April 22 and although Hernandez has only started one of the subsequent three games, he has enjoyed the experience.
The striker, who has been included in Mexico's World Cup squad, said he is in awe of Giggs' achievements as a player.
Giggs, 40, who debuted for United in 1991 and is the most decorated player in the history of English football, brought himself on for his 963rd appearance for the club in Tuesday's 3-1 win over Hull.
"It's unbelievable," Hernandez told MUTV. "There are no words to describe him. What he has done [in the game] is unbelievable.
"To be at a club for 26 years, to be at a very high level for all those years is incredible. He's helped a lot of young people, just as other people helped him. It's been a privilege to be with him."
Netherlands manager Louis van Gaal is expected to be appointed Moyes' permanent successor, with Giggs not being considered due to a lack of experience, but Hernandez pledged his loyalty to his team-mate if he does stay in charge.
"I'm going to be one of the players for Giggsy," he added. "You never know if he's going to stay next year or if we will bring in another manager but, if Giggsy stays or not, it's been unbelievable to play for him. There are not enough words to describe it."
Hernandez has endured a difficult season at Old Trafford, starting just six Premier League games and scoring four goals after struggling to work his way into Moyes' first-team plans.

The testimony of Larry Birkhead, the father of Anna Nicole Smith's daughter, Dannielynn, will help determine if the prosecution has a felony drug case against Anna's doctors, Dr. Sandeep Kapoor and Dr. Khristina Eroshevich — as well as his former nemesis-turned-friend Howard K. Stern.
"I was actually subpoenaed to testify and I think a lot of people are making a big thing because I was called by the prosecution and there's been all these rumors and headlines that I'm going to testify against Howard and the doctors," Larry told Access Hollywood on Thursday. "And what I say is I don't ever like to say that I'm testifying against or for someone, because I just go and tell the truth. And either side can take that and dice it and do whatever they want to with it and see what fits it for it."
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Anna Nicole Smith
Dr. Kapoor, Dr. Eroshevich and Stern are charged with conspiring to illegally provide Anna with controlled substances before her death. The three have pleaded not guilty to the drug charges. Their lawyers maintain they are blameless in the death of what they say was a strong-willed woman who directed her own course of medical treatment.
Larry told Access that Howard has become an unlikely comrade after an epic international paternity battle against him. Howard maintained he was Dannielynn's father for months, until a DNA test in the Bahamas proved otherwise.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Anna Nicole Smith: The Players
"Howard has actually turned out to, believe it or not, [be] a friend because he's helped," Larry explained. "He's actually helped me. He helps me with all things that were Anna before me, and estate stuff."
And while Larry thinks Howard knew of Anna's drug use, he does not think he is culpable in her death.
"Never once did I see Howard inject Anna with any medication," Larry told Access. "As far as hurting Anna Nicole and hurting Daniel and things of that nature, I would be totally shocked to hear that something would come down or he would be shown to be guilty of that."
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Anna Nicole Smith's Funeral
His support is so strong, he even allows Howard to see Dannielynn.
"Howard of all people has actually been kinder to me than some of Anna's own family members. And he's actually helped me through a lot of things that I wouldn't have known whether it was something estate related or whatever," he continued. "It's actually become an odd type of friendship but it is there."
Larry does not have the same type of relationship with Anna's mother, Virgie Arthur, who is currently suing Larry for defamation.
"The V word," Larry said, referring to Virgie, when asked if she sees Dannielynn. "You know, no she doesn't and that's unfortunate too. And at this time, there's a couple legal things going on and there's a couple open cases that she has against me at this time… so, it would be a little hard for me to have interaction with her, but I've learned, when you're in Anna Nicole's world, never say never. You never know what could come next. And who knows."
According to Larry, Anna's death was due to the loss of her son Daniel.
"You know on her death certificate it says accidental overdose but I think it was a combination of broken heart and she just couldn't go on after Daniel," Larry told Access. "And the fact that she was so rundown. She had all these battles in front of her and she just didn't know… she didn't have the guidance or the energy to face them or get everything over with and I think ultimately when Daniel died, and I talked to her several times after that, and even though we had this public battle, we have conversations, communication up until the time of her death. She just wasn't herself. She never was herself again."

While the people of San Diego spend summer days on the beaches and the bay, few of them know that just down the road, others are discussing behind closed doors a trade pact that could have great impacts on our precious environment and natural resources in California, the U.S. and around the world.
From July 2 through July 10, representatives from the U.S. and eight other Pacific Rim countries are meeting in San Diego for the next round of negotiations for a new trade pact, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement.
With such high stakes, anyone recognizing the principles our nation was founded on would think that the public should be able to weigh in. At the very least, we'd expect that our elected representatives in Congress would have a say.
The reality is that the majority of the public and legislators alike aren't even able to see the text of this massive, all-encompassing trade deal. Access to this critically significant language that would change the fundamental ways our economy works is limited almost exclusively to a handful of government negotiators and corporate advisers.
As chairman of the U.S. Senate Finance Subcommittee on International Trade, Customs and Global Competitiveness, it would only make sense that Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., should at least see a peek of TPP drafts. When he was denied, he introduced a bill demanding transparency in the negotiations. Over 130 members of Congress also took action, sending a letter to the U.S. trade representative demanding a more open process.
So if our members of Congress can't see the TPP, who can? None other than some of the most deep-pocketed corporations in the world, including Chevron, Halliburton and PhRMA (The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America). While they are putting their profits first, who is around to speak up for clean air and water, for American families, and for protections that will ensure the rest of us don't pay the price?
What we have seen of the TPP confirms that we should be concerned. A recently leaked draft of the investment chapter has given us a glimpse of what that future will look like if these unbalanced negotiations continue. The text gives corporations the right to sue governments for unlimited cash compensation – in private tribunals – over nearly any law that they argue is hurting expected future profits.
This extreme provision means that new safeguards which, for example, could prevent big oil companies from dumping waste into our ocean could be challenged because they dip into Exxon or Shell's record profits. It's a provision that could open the door for corporations to challenge foundational environmental protections and conservation laws that protect our health.
It's shocking, but sadly it's not unprecedented. Under NAFTA, Canada's government challenged a California law requiring that the damage near Native American sacred sites caused by open-pit mines be restored. Under the World Trade Organization, an appellate body found that U.S. dolphin-safe tuna labels discriminated against Mexican tuna fishers.
The American public is expected to cede its health and environmental safety for the sake of a corporation's bottom line.
It's important to note that the U.S. negotiators are pushing for strong and enforceable standards in the environment chapter of the TPP, including binding language that would address environmental challenges such as illegal logging and overfishing. We applaud this, but unfortunately other parts of the agreement, including giving corporations a check over national law, could directly undermine these admirable goals while putting our economy and our workers at risk.
In a nation that celebrates its freedoms not only once a year, but every day, one must ask how a "21st century trade agreement" is being negotiated in such secrecy. Freedom from information is not among our celebrated liberties. It's time to stand behind our elected officials demanding transparency and a seat at the table for all the American families who are being left behind.

Manual Versus Thermostatic Griddles
Thermostatic griddles work similar to your oven at home. You set a desired temperature between 150° - 450° F. With a thermostatic griddle you set the temperature and forget it, letting the griddle automatically adjust to hold the desired temperature. Thermostatic griddles are perfect for those flipping burgers throughout the day.
Manual griddles, on the other hand, give you the most flexibility when it comes to adjusting temperature. Operating similarly to your grill, cooks can set flames at low, medium or high to adjust the temperature throughout cooking. This is ideal when cooking different types of food (especially frozen food).
Toastmaster electric griddles are ideal for kitchens that don't have access to gas. Equipped with a 3/4 inch thick, polished steel plate, these griddles also feature snap action thermostats that completely turn the element on or off, helping maintaining a consistent griddle surface temperature. Featuring a high quality, stainless steel grease drawer, bull nose and front panel, you can't go wrong with a Toastmaster electric griddle.

King Felix hits 100 wins, leads Mariners past Astros
HOUSTON (AP) — Felix Hernandez pitched six scoreless innings for his 100th career win and Seattle homered three times to back him up in a 7-1 victory over the Houston Astros on Monday night.
Hernandez (2-2) reached the milestone in his fourth try to join Jamie Moyer (145) and Randy Johnson (130) as the only pitchers to reach 100 wins with the Mariners.
Hernandez allowed five hits and struck out nine to lower his ERA to 2.08. He came in with the second-lowest run support in the AL at 1.88, and didn't factor into the decision in his last start despite striking out 12 and allowing no earned runs in eight innings.
He had no such trouble Monday night as Seattle took a 1-0 lead in the first and tacked on two runs in each of the third, fourth and fifth innings.
Kyle Seager, Jesus Montero and Kendrys Morales all homered for the Mariners, who snapped a three-game losing streak.
Rick Ankiel hit a solo homer in the seventh inning for the Astros, who dropped to 5-14 — the second-worst start in franchise history. They opened 4-20 in 1969, according to STATS.
Houston starter Brad Peacock (1-2) yielded nine hits and seven runs — both season highs — in 4 1-3 innings. The Astros' pitching staff has allowed 10 home runs in the last three games.
Monday was just the third time the Mariners had ever visited Houston and their first trip since June 2007. They'll make three visits this year alone with Houston's move to the AL-West.
Seattle's hitters bounced back from a tough weekend where they went 1 for 24 with runners in scoring position and were shut out twice in a three-game sweep by the Rangers.
The got things going early in this one when Seager extended his hitting streak to a career-best 11 games with a single with one out in the first. Morales walked before Seager advanced to third on a passed ball by Castro with two outs.
Justin Smoak sent Seager home with a groundball single that glanced off first baseman Carlos Pena's glove and into the outfield to make it 1-0.
Seager put the Mariners up 3-0 in the third when he launched a two-run homer to the second deck in right field. He has scored six runs and drove in eight during his hitting streak.
Montero added a two-run shot to center field in the fourth to push the lead to 5-0.
Morales led off the fifth inning with a home run to right field to make it 6-0. Smoak doubled and scored on a sacrifice fly by Montero later in the inning.
The Astros couldn't string any hits together against Hernandez. The only time they had more than one baserunner against him was in the fourth, but thanks to a base running gaffe that didn't last for long.
Jason Castro walked with no outs in that inning before Chris Carter broke an 0-for-16 slump with a bloop single to shallow center field. Castro thought the ball was caught and sprinted back to first base, leaving both he and Carter there.
The umpires discussed the play for a couple of minutes before ruling that Carter was out for passing a runner on the basepath.
Center fielder Franklin Gutierrez was injured trying to make the catch and left the game with tightness in his right hamstring.
Houston reliever Jose Cisnero made his major league debut when he replaced Peacock in the fifth inning. He was a bright spot for the Astros, allowing two hits in 3 2-3 scoreless innings.
NOTES: Seattle's Michael Morse went 0 for 5 to break a nine-game hitting streak in Houston. ... The series continues on Tuesday when Houston's Bud Norris opposes Hisashi Iwakuma. ... The Astros recalled Cisnero from Triple-A Oklahoma City and optioned LHP Brett Oberholtzer there before the game. ... Houston Rockets players Chandler Parsons and Aaron Brooks attended the game a night after losing to Oklahoma City in the first game of their first-round playoff series with the Thunder.

Citi Sours On Lowest-Rated Junk Bonds
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Count Citi among the skeptics who think junk-bond valuations are getting too lofty, as Citi downgrades its view on the lowest tier of junk, cutting triple-C bonds to underweight and recommendomg investors either position more defensively by accepting a lower yield or look elsewhere:
At this point in the cycle, we believe investors should underweight the triple-C universe. In September 2012, we recommended an overweight to low-quality bonds, a position we held deep into 2013. We began 2014 with a neutral rating. Now, however, we lower the rating to underweight and suggest investors continue to focus on single-B credits. To be sure, there are underrated triple-C issuers that are of similar quality to single-B companies but as a whole, we recommend reducing triple-C exposure.
Citi credit strategists Michael Anderson, Angel Jua and Lina Lavitsky walk us through a little high-yield history to highlight that this current Fed-fueled credit cycle doesn't look like past cycles:
Prior to the current cycle, triple-C bonds generally performed roughly in line with the market over the course of a cycle (i.e. peak to peak). In other words, the default drag was significant enough to offset any additional yield the rating segment offered. Combined with greater credit risk and higher volatility, some investors naturally questioned the importance of holding a significant triple-C allocation through the cycle.
The current cycle, however, has been quite different. Since the pre-crisis in May 2007, the CCC-Rated Index has returned 44% more than the High Yield Market Index. Even when including the steep losses suffered during the crisis and the Treasury rally which should have benefited higher-quality assets more, triple-C returns have been far superior since 2007.
Citi says the biggest risk to its underweight call is that it might be too early, as junk bonds maintain pretty strong momentum, but cites four pillars supporting its view:
We downgrade triple-C to sell from neutral based on four factors: high negative convexity, inevitable defaults that are difficult to offset given lofty valuations, crowded positioning, and significant yield compression to higher-quality paper. If we are correct that most of the triple-C outperformance is behind us, it caps one of the best runs in the history of the asset class. The current cycle's success was driven by a unique combination of factors which are unlikely to be repeated in future cycles. Our analysis highlights, however, the degree to which cycles are unique and how that affects relative performance across the quality spectrum. The evolution of the cycle (i.e. speed and magnitude) plays a central role.
The latest check on the Bank of America Merrill Lynch high-yield index shows CCC-rated bonds yielding 8.4%, versus 5.2% for the entire high-yield market, with both returning 3.26% so far this year.

Cell Phone Radiation Protection Products
Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) is the generated byproduct of electricity traveling through electronic devices. Electronic devices develop a field of radiation or, an Electromagnetic Field (EMF) that is strongest when closest to the source and reduces in intensity when moving away from the source. Increasing the current within the source will directly increase the strength of the field.
Industry experts recommend that exposure to these fields should be less than 2 milliGauss (mG), the measurement of EMFs. For devices such as laptops, these levels can reach up to 175 mG, when processing and computing.
EMF radiation can be dangerous because it can often change field direction, creating a vibration within the tissues of the body.
EMF Vibration Impacts
A vibrating Electromagnetic Field (EMF) touching the body generates heat and cell mutation. In fact, this phenomenon works the same way as a microwave by vibrating molecules together and generating enough heat to cook food. Long term exposure to EMF vibrations can lead to serious health concerns.
With increased temperatures, both male and female fertility can be affected. Studies over the past 20 years show that long-term exposure to high levels of EMFs can mutate cells, burn skin, cause DNA cellular breakdown and many other health problems including cancer.
Most EMFs are fields that vibrate the human body's cells. This vibration can not only cause heating up of cells, but also manipulate the cells in other dangerous ways.

Following so closely on the heels of the Sally Kern debacle I am once again amazed at the short sightedness of Oklahoma's legislators. The First Amendment contains a very clear statement about what government can and can't do regarding religion. It states very succinctly that "Congress shall make NO LAW (emphasis mine) concerning the establishment of religion nor the free exercise thereof."
I don't find it difficult at all to understand that "Congress shall make no law" means congress shall make no law. And yet well meaning legislators all over the country continue to waste tax payers time and money by "making laws" which concern the establishment of religion or the free exercise of religion.
Oklahoma's most recent example:
HB 2211 − By Kern, Reynolds, Sullivan, Dank, Enns, Johnson (Dennis), Terrill and
Tibbs of the House and Williamson and Brogdon of the Senate.
An Act relating to schools; creating the Religious Viewpoints Antidiscrimination Act;
requiring school districts to treat student expression in certain manner; directing school
districts to adopt a limited public forum for student speakers policy; stating purpose of the
policy; listing certain provisions; requiring school district disclaimers to be provided at
certain events; prohibiting the exclusion of religious expression from the limited public
forum; allowing student religious expression in class assignments; specifying standards for
judging homework and classroom assignments; allowing students to organize religious
groups and activities; specifying treatment of religious groups; allowing school districts to
disclaim school sponsorship of student groups; requiring school districts to adopt and
implement a limited public forum and voluntary student expression of religious viewpoints
policy; specifying that school districts adopting the model policy are compliant with the act;
setting forth the Model Religious Viewpoints Antidiscrimination Policy; defining term;
providing for student expression of religious viewpoints; providing for student speakers at
nongraduation events; establishing public forum limits; providing for notification of eligible
students; specifying subject limitations; requiring distribution of a school district
disclaimer; allowing certain student speakers based on special positions of honor; providing
for student speakers at graduation ceremonies; establishing limited public forum; specifying
student eligibility criteria; specifying topic limitations; allowing certain student speakers
based on special positions of honor; specifying subject matter; requiring a written
disclaimer on graduation programs; providing for religious expression in class assignments;
requiring homework and classroom work to be judged on certain standard; providing for the
freedom to organize religious groups and activities; specifying treatment of religious
groups; allowing school districts to disclaim sponsorship of groups and events; providing
for codification; providing an effective date; and declaring an emergency.
The first clue that this is a law establishing religion is in the title, "The Religious Viewpoints Antidiscrimination Act." You would think some of those smart people in the House and Senate would recognize that a law which defines, permits, controls, etc. religious expression is a law which establishes religious practice and as such is in violation of the first amendment. The word religious then appears at least ten times in the text of the bill. Anyone who cannot see that the intent of this act is not to protect student rights of self-expression which are already protected by the Bill of Rights, but to put school districts in the position of having to regulate religious expression.
It would also be a pleasant surprise to have Oklahomans think for themselves instead of merely copying what our neighbors to the South have already done. Fortunately, because they are merely following the herd, it is likely that Texas will have to bear the cost of having their law declared unconstitutional and then the Oklahoma legislature can just pretend it never happened.
If those who continue to waste the public's time like this really are followers of Christ, somebody should explain to them that Christ's message has managed to get out for 2000 years without the help of the Oklahoma legislature and I am convinced that it will continue to do so. If your legislator was one of those pushing for passage of this bill, please tell them that if they want to continue to receive your support they need to stop wasting their time on this kind of trivialization of the freedom of speech that they so loudly proclaim.
Just for emphasis let me say it again,

My youngest son, Will, has a cherry tree, and this is its third summer. His Grandma Prater got the tree for him, because when he was a little bitty guy, he'd go around to everyone and put his hand on their heads, and say, "A cherry on top!" It was so cute! Cherries are his favorite, so the tree is perfect for him.
The first year, he harvested about 5 cherries. Last year, there were none. I was worried, but chalked it up to a harsh winter. This summer, he picked a whopping 121 cherries! He ate his fill as he picked them, and asked me to make a crisp with the rest.
When I posted the photo above on Facebook, my neighbor, Alan, shared the crisp recipe his family uses for all kinds of berries, including mulberries, which are ready now! He says the recipe is the same regardless of the fruit you use, unless it's rhubarb. In that case (and I'd imagine with gooseberries as well), toss the fruit with a cup of sugar before putting it into the pie plate. If it's an especially juicy fruit, you could also add a little corn starch to thicken it up a bit.
3 cups fruit
1 cup flour
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup oats (I used old fashioned)
1 stick butter
1 tsp. vanilla or almond extract
1 Tbsp. cinnamon (more or less to taste)
Place fruit in the bottom of a greased pie pan or 8x10" baking dish. Melt the butter and mix in the remaining non-fruit ingredients with a fork. Spread over fruit in pan and pat down a bit.
Bake at 350 degrees F. for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbly.
That's it! This couldn't have been easier, and it was so good! The topping is super crunchy, and is the best crisp topping I've ever made! The crisp was such a hit that I made it again last night with fresh blueberries, and it was just as good. This is now my go-to crisp recipe!
Here are some more tasty crisp recipes to try: 9 tasty crunches crisps, and cobblers

Western blot analysis of extracts from 293T cells, transfected with 100 nM SignalSilence® Control siRNA (Unconjugated) #6568 (-), SignalSilence® JMJD2B siRNA I (+), or SignalSilence® JMJD2B siRNA II #7062 (+), using JMJD2B (D7E6) Rabbit mAb #8639 (upper) or GAPDH (D16H11) XP® Rabbit mAb #5174 (lower). The JMJD2B (D7E6) Rabbit mAb confirms silencing of JMJD2B expression, while the GAPDH (D16H11) XP® Rabbit mAb is used as a loading control.
Product Information
CST recommends transfection with 100 nM SignalSilence® JMJD2B siRNA I 48 to 72 hours prior to cell lysis. For transfection procedure, follow protocol provided by the transfection reagent manufacturer. Please feel free to contact CST with any questions on use.
Each vial contains the equivalent of 100 transfections, which corresponds to a final siRNA concentration of 100 nM per transfection in a 24-well plate with a total volume of 300 μl per well.
SignalSilence® siRNA is supplied in RNAse-free water. Aliquot and store at -20ºC.
SignalSilence® JMJD2B siRNA I from Cell Signaling Technology (CST) allows the researcher to specifically inhibit JMJD2B expression using RNA interference, a method whereby gene expression can be selectively silenced through the delivery of double stranded RNA molecules into the cell. All SignalSilence® siRNA products from CST are rigorously tested in-house and have been shown to reduce target protein expression by western analysis.
Oligonucleotide synthesis is monitored base by base through trityl analysis to ensure appropriate coupling efficiency. The oligo is subsequently purified by affinity-solid phase extraction. The annealed RNA duplex is further analyzed by mass spectrometry to verify the exact composition of the duplex. Each lot is compared to the previous lot by mass spectrometry to ensure maximum lot-to-lot consistency.
The methylation state of lysine residues in histone proteins is a major determinant of the formation of active and inactive regions of the genome and is crucial for proper programming of the genome during development (1,2). Jumonji C (JmjC) domain-containing proteins represent the largest class of potential histone demethylase proteins (3). The JmjC domain can catalyze the demethylation of mono-, di-, and tri-methyl lysine residues via an oxidative reaction that requires iron and α-ketoglutarate (3). Based on homology, both humans and mice contain at least 30 such proteins, which can be divided into 7 separate families (3). The jumonji domain-containing protein 2 (JMJD2) family, also known as the JmjC domain-containing histone demethylation protein 3 (JHDM3) family, contains four members: JMJD2A/JHDM3A, JMJD2B/JHDM3B, JMJD2C/JHDM3C, and JMJD2D/JHDM3D. In addition to the JmjC domain, these proteins also contain JmjN, PHD, and tudor domains, the latter of which has been shown to bind to methylated histone H3 at Lys4 and Lys9, and methylated histone H4 at Lys20 (4,5). JMJD2 proteins have been shown to demethylate di- and tri-methyl histone H3 at Lys9 and Lys36 and function as both activators and repressors of transcription (6-11). JMJD2A, JMJD2C, and JMJD2D function as coactivators of the androgen receptor in prostate tumor cells (7). In contrast, JMJD2A also associates with Rb and NCoR corepressor complexes and is necessary for transcriptional repression of target genes (8,9). JMJD2B antagonizes histone H3 Lys9 tri-methylation at pericentric heterochromatin (10). JMJD2C, also known as GASC1, is amplified in squamous cell carcinomas and metastatic lung carcinoma and inhibition of JMJD2C expression decreases cell proliferation (11,12). JMJD2C has also been identified as a downstream target of Oct-4 and is critical for the regulation of self-renewal in embryonic stem cells (13).

Perfect for Easter and spring, this Purple Ruffled Place Mat from Fiskars is a great addition to your table top decorations. This is an easy sewing project that anyone could do, and you could make them for any holiday, including Halloween and even Christmas. The simple ruffle technique is easy to master and gives this simple place mat a look that's perfect for spring.
- Fabric: 1 yard each of three graduating colors
- Coordinating thread
- Disappearing Ink Fabric Marker
- Pattern paper or freezer paper
- Pencil
- String
- Ergo Control Rotary Cutter (45 mm)
- 3" x 18" Acrylic Ruler
- Cutting Mat (18" x 24")
Dimensions are based on an 11" plate. All seam allowances are 1/4 inch.
Create a 15-inch circle pattern for base. Using pattern paper or freezer paper, mark a center point with pencil. Measure 7.5 inches from center point and mark. Tie string to pencil. Align pencil with side mark and hold string at center mark. Holding pencil taut, draw circle evenly around center point.
Cut out pattern. Pin to double layer of light purple fabric and cut out using scissors. Set aside.
Using rotary cutter with acrylic ruler on cutting mat, cut out the following strips of fabric: 4 inch x 80 inch dark purple, 3.5 inch x 70 inch medium purple, and 3.5 inch x 60 inch light purple. When working with one yard pieces of fabric, you will need to sew together two equal pieces to form lengths and sew together to form full length.
Fold dark purple strip in half with right sides together and sew each end. Fold wrong sides of dark purple strip together and press.
To ruffle, run a long stitch along cut side down entire strip 1/4-inch from cut edge without back stitching. Gently pull bobbin string to gather strip into ruffles. Mark the center first and work from each end to the center being careful not to break the thread. Work ruffles to length to fit around base circle.
Pin and sew ruffles to right side of one base circle matching up cut edges. Ruffles will be laying inside circle.
Place second circle base onto ruffled base. Ruffles will now be hidden between the two right sides of base circles. Pin and sew leaving a 2 inch gap to turn right side out. Turn right side out; press and top stitch.
To create light purple and medium purple ruffles, fold each strip with right sides together and sew along cut edge and one end. Feed tube right side out and fold under unfinished end to sew closed. Press. Run a long stitch down each strip 1/4-inch from sewn edge. Ruffle as before.
Lay plate at center of base circle and trace around perimeter with disappearing ink fabric marker.
Pin medium purple ruffle halfway between edge of base circle and drawn circle and sew to secure.
- Pin light purple ruffle along drawn circle and sew to secure and complete.

Search for a rare disease

Cowden syndrome
Disease definition
Cowden syndrome (CS) is a difficult to recognize, under-diagnosed genodermatosis characterized by the presence of multiple hamartomas in various tissues and an increased risk for malignancies of the breast, thyroid, endometrium, kidney and colorectum. When CS is accompanied by germline PTEN mutations, it belongs to the PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome (PHTS; see this term) group.
ORPHA:201Classification level: Disorder
CS has been described in many ancestral groups. The prevalence is unknown but is estimated at 1/200,000.
Clinical description
Disease manifestations usually occur between the second and third decades of life but can appear at any age. Pathognomonic muco-cutaneous lesions (including a type of small, colored and multiple facial papules or trichilemomas) may be the first manifestations of the disease and are seen in many patients, as well as papillomatous papules and acral keratoses and Lhermitte-Duclos disease (LDD; see this term). Macrocephaly and dysmorphic facies, if present, are evident at birth. Malignancies such as breast cancer (with an 85% lifetime risk), epithelial thyroid cancer and endometrial carcinoma often appear later in life. Visceral manifestations that in some cases can involve the thyroid (thyroglossal duct cyst, adenoma), digestive tract (colon diverticulitis, hepatic cysts, glycogenic acanthosis), genital tract (functional menstrual cycle troubles, ovarian teratomas), skeleton (bone cysts), breast (fibrocystic disease, nipple and areola abnormalities), and neurological system (meningioma, developmental delay, autistic spectrum) have a highly variable age of onset.
It is now believed that 25% of CS cases are caused by germline mutations in the phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) gene (10q23), that encodes PTEN, a dual-specifity phosphatase. Patients with CS and CS-like phenotypes that do not have PTEN involvement have been found to have a germline promoter methylation of KLLN (30% of cases), germline variations in SDHB, SDHC or SDHD (10% of cases), or germline mutations in AKT1 and PIK3CA (10% of cases).
Diagnostic methods
The International Cowden Consortium (ICC) for CS lists the pathognomonic (mucocutaneous lesions, LDD), major (breast cancer, macrocephaly, thyroid cancer and endometrial cancer), and minor criteria used to diagnose this disease. An operational diagnosis is given if a patient displays the pathognomonic skin lesions, two or more major, one major and 3 or more minor, or 4 or more minor criteria. A quantitative scoring system for adults and a separate pediatric criteria system have now been created. Finding germline mutations in PTEN or other causal genes confirms diagnosis.
Differential diagnosis
Differential diagnoses, juvenile-polyposis syndrome, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome, Gorlin syndrome and neurofibromatosis type 1 (see these terms).
Antenatal diagnosis
Antenatal diagnosis is possible for at-risk pregnancies if the disease causing mutation is discovered in an affected family member.
Genetic counseling
CS is inherited autosomal dominantly. Genetic counseling can be offered to patients with PTEN mutations and asymptomatic family members should also be tested so that those with a mutation can be monitored before symptom onset.
Management and treatment
Management and treatment is multidisciplinary and is based on genotype. Once a PTEN germline mutation is identified, surveillance guidelines should be followed. Thyroid ultrasound should begin once a mutation is identified, even under the age of 18. A colonoscopy and biennial renal imaging should begin between the ages of 35-40. Women should perform monthly breast self-examinations and yearly breast screenings as well as transvaginal ultrasounds or endometrial biopsies beginning at the age of 30.
The pinpointing of the diagnosis (especially by gene) and instituting organ-specific surveillance at the right time results in a good prognosis. When advanced cancers occur before diagnosis is made, a poor outcome is common.

Ambrose Gwinnett Bierce (June 24, 1842 – after December 26, 1913) was an American editorialist, journalist, short story writer, fabulist and satirist. Today, he is best known for his short story, "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" and his satirical lexicon, The Devil's Dictionary. The sardonic view of human nature that informed his work – along with his vehemence as a critic, with his motto "nothing matters" – earned him the nickname "Bitter Bierce."
Despite his reputation as a searing critic, however, Bierce was known to encourage younger writers, including poet George Sterling and fiction writer W. C. Morrow. Bierce employed a distinctive style of writing, especially in his stories. This style often embraces an abrupt beginning (see cold open), dark imagery, vague references to time, limited descriptions, the theme of war, and impossible events.
In 1913, Bierce traveled to Mexico to gain a firsthand perspective on that country's ongoing revolution. While traveling with rebel troops, the elderly writer disappeared without a trace.

By the time I reached The Peninsula's revolving door, I had spent nearly three weeks jumping in and out of ferociously driven cabs, had checked in and out of nine different hotels, had whirled round some twenty-odd restaurants and bars, had sipped cocktails till dawn in a nightclub boasting its own shark tank and had scouted and shopped the entire length of Nanjing Road (and then some). Burn out was dangerously close.
But I wasn't going to let this 24/7 365-city beat me and was sure that a couple of nights at The Peninsula would be just the reviver I needed. Although, I'd never stayed at this hotel before, I have been deeply and madly in love with The Peninsula Hong Kong for a long long time. When I was a kid I used to wander through its glorious high-ceilinged lobby listening to the silver clinking and wishing I could squeeze in amongst the glamorous ladies taking afternoon tea; in my twenties I knocked back cocktails with friends at Felix; and as a grown-up (ahem) I love nothing better than a day luxuriating at what must surely be one of the finest spas in the world. So, its Shanghai sibling had a rather a lot to live up to. I checked in expecting nothing short of perfection.
Lucky Stars: The Peninsula keeps its famous client cards clasped very close to its chest but Scarlett Johansson, Hugh Jackman, Jacky Chan, Michelle Yeoh and a host of high-profile expat footballers like Nicola Anelka and Didier Drogba are a few of the big names that have been spotted here.
The Lowdown
…And perfection it was. I'm sorry if this post sends you rushing for the vomit bucket, but I am going to gush. Everything from The Peninsula's position on one of the loveliest corners in Shanghai (staring down the Bund, backing onto the former British Consulate gardens and overlooking the buzzy Huangpu River with the space-age skyline of Pudong glittering across the water) to the hand-carved soap dishes in the bathrooms had me in raptures. Walking into the hotel's light-filled lobby was like stepping into Somerset Maugham novel – with stylish cerulean green walls, voluptuous velvet chairs, tiered chandeliers and vivid flower displays. I immediately starting speaking in a clipped accent and looked for a small boy to fan me. I was at home – or rather, a wonderful fantasy version of home.
Better still, our room turned out to be a Deluxe River Suite, perched on the corner of the building boasting an astounding view of the city through its gracefully large windows. I hoovered it up with my eyes – window-side dining table, inches thick Chinese rugs, artworks, ceramics, little lacquer boxes filled with petite fours. Naturally, I played it cool while the reception manager was with us but the minute he left I literally leapt, skipped, twirled and squealed my way around all 1100 palatial square feet. There was a bedroom with a bed so soft and cosy it was like lying on a bundle of baby seals (I would imagine), a dressing room with a built-in electronic nail dryer and a cool little housekeeping box where you could deposit washing, for it to magically appear a few hours later without ever having had to endure the inconvenience of speaking to an actual person. The bathroom too was impressive with his 'n' hers sinks, a TV in the wall above the jumbo tub and tons of delicious DAVI amenities. As I swanned back into the living room, my husband gave me one of those approving marrying-a-travel-writer-paid-off looks as he sunk into the sapphire blue sofa by the fireplace. I felt more rested already.
The Highlights
I knew I had to visit to the spa from the minute I saw this picture of the pool. I mean, come on, just look at it – what's not to love? And, I have to say, it was even more beautiful in the flesh, all sunlight and terraces, squishy sofas and scented air. I spent my first morning here enjoying an amazing private yoga session with Kasia, the spa manager and all-round lovely person, and can now completely understand why celebrities and the super-rich fly their personal trainers around the world with them. That level of encouragement is incredibly motivating and thoroughly addictive. Topped off with a blissful Peninsula signature treatment involving ESPA perfumed oils and an otherworldly level of pressure and I was ready to take on the world again, never mind just Shanghai.
Dining at The Peninsula was equally as memorable. At Sir Elly's, the flagship restaurant, plate after beautifully presented plate of absolute deliciousness was served up with panache. Each one so perfectly balanced that instead of feeling bloated and sleepy halfway through, which I know from lots of important research can often happen with tasting menus, we worked our way through every bite and still found space to squeeze in some post-dinner cocktails at the rooftop bar. But then again, how could we resist this?
Checking out was of course a heartbreaking experience. I really wish I could find some niggle to counterbalance my review but I've tried and I can't. It was perfection from start to finish. The hotel is gorgeous, the food is sublime, the staff are intuitive to the point of being mind-readers, and the spa alone is worth travelling to Shanghai for. If you want to do this most magnificent of cities in style, The Peninsula is the place to be.
I stayed as a guest of The Peninsula, however, I also stayed in eleven other hotels in the city and this was my top pick. My views, as always are 100% my own.
The Peninsula Shanghai, +86 21 2327 2888; www.peninsula.com; Doubles from £270.
Finnair has daily flights to Shanghai from both Manchester and Heathrow via Helsinki. The below return fares include taxes, service and booking fees starting from:

PHILADELPHIA — Dietary cadmium, a toxic metal widely dispersed in the environment and found in many farm fertilizers, may lead to an increased risk of breast cancer, according to a study published in Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research.
Cadmium occurs at low concentrations naturally, but scientists are concerned because contamination of farmland mainly due to atmospheric deposition and use of fertilizers leads to higher uptake in plants.
"Because of a high accumulation in agricultural crops, the main sources of dietary cadmium are bread and other cereals, potatoes, root crops and vegetables," said Agneta Åkesson, Ph.D., associate professor at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden. "In general, these foods are also considered healthy."
For the current study, Åkesson and colleagues observed 55,987 women for more than 12 years. They estimated the dietary cadmium exposure using a food frequency questionnaire. During the follow-up period, researchers observed 2,112 incidences of breast cancer including 1,626 estrogen receptor-positive and 290 estrogen receptor-negative cases.
Cadmium consumption was divided into three groups with the highest levels of exposure compared with the lowest. Overall, a higher exposure to cadmium via diet was linked with a 21 percent increase in breast cancer. Among lean and normal weight women, the increased risk was 27 percent.
Both estrogen receptor-positive and negative tumors had the same risk increase at roughly 23 percent. Åkesson said that women who consumed higher amounts of whole grains and vegetables had a lower risk of breast cancer compared to women exposed to dietary cadmium through other foods.
"It's possible that this healthy diet to some extent can counteract the negative effect of cadmium, but our findings need to be confirmed with further studies," said Åkesson. "It is, however, important that the exposure to cadmium from all food is low."

Callaway Golf Kings of Distance
Team Callaway is considered like an elite team in the golf world. They are among the best golfers of all time and have created camaraderie and also competition with each other. Promoting titles within Callaway Golf, the company has created a new "best among the best" team – the Callaway Kings of Distance.
The Kings of Distance are selected by Callaway by calculating all hits its players make during their games. There are only four members selected as Kings of Distance and those four are currently: Pat Perez, Gary Woodland, Patrick Reed, and Sang-Moon Bae.
Here's a more insightful run through for each of the Callaway's Kings of Distance:
Pat Perez
Pat Perez holds the record for the longest drive since Callaway Golf started the "Kings of Distance" team with 382 yards covered in one hit. He started his professional golfing career in 1997 at the Web.com tour. After earning enough points, he tried for the PGA Tour Qualifying Tournament and after passing continued his golfing for the PGA Tour. He played for eight years until he experienced his first highlight in his career in 2009 by winning at the Bob Hope Classic. He joined Team Callaway just this 2014.
Gary Woodland
Gary Woodland lands second place as the hitter of the longest drive on Callaway's record. Last year, however, he was able to set the record of the longest drive with a 450 yards drive. He started his golfing career as an amateur in college. After graduating, he started his professional career in 2007 for the Nationwide Tour. In 2008, he entered the PGA Tour Qualifying Tournament and joined the PGA Tour in 2009. He had started having his highlight after winning his first PGA Tour title at the Transitions Championship. He signed up with Callaway Golf also in 2014.
Patrick Reed
Patrick Reed – the Team Callaway member that hit the third longest drive during the last tour. He started his amateur golfing career in 2008 at University of Georgia and ended it with a Jones Cup Invitational title in 2010. He turned professional in 2011 then played his first PGA Tour at the FedEx St. Jude Classic.
He played for many years mostly just making the cut and had his first victory in 2013 at the Wyndham Championship PGA Tour. He gained more fame after setting two records at the Humana Challenge PGA Tour for most strokes under par after 54 holes and for being the first player in PGA to open a tournament with three rounds of 63.
He just had his biggest highlight this year after winning the WGC-Cadillac Championship. Being 23, he became the youngest winner of the WGC Championship and ranked 20th in the Official World Golf Ranking.
He joined Callaway Golf in 2013 and has moved up in his career since then.
Sang-Moon Bae
Sang-Moon Bae, the fourth placer in the Kings of Distance team, is a Korean icon as a professional golf player. He started a professional career in 2004 and won many tournaments on Asian Tours and Japan Golf Tours. In 2011, he became the greatest earning player for winning three tournaments at the Vana H Cup KBC Augusta, Coca-cola Tokai Classic and Japan Open on the Japan Golf Tour. He soon played for the PGA Tour Qualifying Tournament, placed 12th and started competing on PGA Tour in 2012.
He had his first PGA Tour victory in 2013 at the HP Byron Nelson Championship with a Callaway HEX Chrome Ball. He was the third South Korean PGA Tour winner. He will be endorsing Callaway Golf with an Odyssey Putter on his next tournaments.

Phoenix, AZ- April 19th, 2013 will mark the return of fan favorite Jesus "El Martillo" Gonzales as he makes his 1st attempt at the middleweight division against former World Champion Sergio "The Latin Snake" Mora. Gonzales, who lost his last bout against the IBF #1 contender Adonis Stevenson, will make a move to 160 lbs for the first time in front of his legion of AZ fight fans. "Jesus had a rough night against Stevenson in Canada, but he has been preparing for this return and is ready to make an impact at Middleweight. The power he brings to the middleweight division makes him an instant title contender" explained Ralph Velez Jr. of FanBase promotions.
Before "El Martillo" faced Stevenson in Canada, he participated in an absolute war on ESPN2 "Friday Night Fights" against Francisco Sierra. Both men thrilled AZ fight fans as well as fight fans worldwide on ESPN2. Gonzales showed tremendous heart, trading knockdowns with Sierra, en route to a hard fought & well deserved Unanimous Decision victory.
Former Jr. Middleweight champion Sergio "Latin Snake" Mora is looking to make a triumphant return to the ring after losing his last fight to Brian Vera in San Antonio, Texas. Even though he lost it was not without controversy, since many ringside observers felt Mora should have been awarded a razor thin decision. Mora holds victories over Ishe Smith, Peter Manfredo, Vernon Forrest as well as a draw with future Hall of Famer "Sugar" Shane Mosely.
Both men are expected to pull out all stops to earn another notch in the win column on April 19th, 2013 in the Phoenix, AZ area. A victory for either warrior will most certainty earn them a title shot against one of the champion in the middleweight division. "This is a classic boxer vs. puncher match up with world title implications. We are excited to bring this fight to AZ fight fans" exclaimed Ralph Velez Jr.
Eddie Brooks, Paul "Ziggy" Romero, and newly signed Mario Esparza will also be in action.

Thomas University takes student safety very seriously. We do realize that emergencies can happen at any time and place. We make every effort to be prepared in case of emergencies. As part of our commitment to campus safety, Thomas University has a Campus Emergency Alert System, which notifies participants immediately in case of an emergency. Our campus crime statistics reflect the extent to which our campus is a safe, secure environment. Students, staff, faculty, applicants, and prospective employees are able to review Thomas University annual campus crime report and fire safety report. Evacuation plans are posted in all buildings throughout the campus.
Emergency Response and Evacuation Procedures
Thomas University has created an Emergency Procedures Handbook to guide decisions necessary for action in the case of an emergency. This document is available through a link on the desktop of each computer on TU's campus and as a hard copy in each department on campus.
Emergency information is also available in flipbooks located in campus buildings next to fire extinguishers and fire alarm pull stations.
Although Thomas University believes its campus is safe, we do realize that emergencies can happen any time and place and make every effort to be prepared. TU understands the importance of promptly notifying students in the event of an emergency. It is equally important that all students understand that this requires cooperation on their part as well. This can be accomplished in the following way:
- Updating emergency contact information by contacting the Registrar's Office
- Reporting any incident requiring immediate attention
If an emergency involves IMMEDIATE action because of potential or actual harm to yourself or others, CALL 911. Then notify the Director of Communications at (229) 977-1449.
An emergency phone station is located on the Forbes campus next to the Rust Science Complex. In non-emergency situations after 7:00pm, call Campus Security at (229) 221-6791 if assistance is needed.

FDA Moves on New Food Safety Rules
(WASHINGTON) -- The FDA proposed new rules Friday that would require U.S. food distributors to implement additional measures to combat food-borne illness. The guidelines are aimed at improving food handling in both the agriculture and manufacturing sectors after a series of recent disease outbreaks in peanuts, cantaloupe, cheese, and leafy green vegetables that killed scores of Americans.
Food safety organizations welcomed the new rules after a long delay.
"Under the old rules, we've been reacting to food contaminations after they happened," Ami Gadhia of Consumers Union said in a statement. "The goal here is to prevent deadly outbreaks before people get hurt. We're anxious to dive deep into these proposed rules so we can review and comment on the details."
One rule would require growers, manufacturers and distributors to develop formal plans for preventing contamination, including techniques for cleaning equipment and keeping animals out of crops. Mandatory contingency plans for outbreaks would also be required of businesses, to be approved by the government. The rule would apply to both foreign and domestic suppliers, provided their goods are bound for U.S. consumption.
Another rule proposes enforceable safety standardization in the production and harvesting of produce.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, 3,000 Americans died last year from food-borne illnesses, with an additional 130,000 hospitalized.
In an effort to stave off industry protests Food and Drug Administration officials stressed the rules would be implemented on a risk-based scale, with higher emphasis placed on foods intended to be eaten raw. For example, fresh tomatoes bound for supermarket produce aisles would be held to much stricter standards than beans intended to be cooked and canned.
The FDA estimates it will take roughly a year for the government to move toward implementing the rules, including a 120-day period for public comment. After adoption the largest agriculture businesses will have two years to comply, and small-scale producers will have extensions well beyond that time frame.
Most American food distributors are already in compliance with many of the regulations set out Friday, but many are voluntary and the government believes stricter enforcement could have prevented deaths from recent highly publicized outbreaks. For example, during the 2011 listeria outbreak in cantaloupes federal investigators found dirty processing equipment and standing pools of old water on the floor of the Colorado farm that produced them. The contaminated produce was linked to 33 deaths.
But these measures are part of the Food Safety Modernization Act, a sweeping series of regulatory changes to the industry that have been tied up in the Obama administration for well over a year. As the first major overhaul of the FDA in decades, President Obama signed the legislation into law with modest Republican support from Congress two years ago to the day, with a one-year deadline to see its first policies put into practice.
Speculation of political motivations at work cropped up during the delays, fueled after the rules were hung-up at the Office of Management and Budget in the review process. Some industry watchers suggest the administration may have sought to deny Republicans an additional talking point during an election year by tabling new proposals.
Pew Research reports there have been 15 major outbreaks regarding FDA-related products since the FSMA was signed into law, resulting in 40 deaths.
