Ok guys, I have a ton of thoughts rolling around in my head and I need to just put them out there and get some answers. I thank you all in advance for passing on kernels of knowledge to an middle aged newbie. I will be hunting Zone 2 on May 9 and 10.
1. Shotgun is patterned and ready to go. However I am not sure of what else to bring. Here is what I am thinking: Firearm and shells, Knife, Portable blind, cushion, calls, zip tie to attach tag, license, Backpack to carry all the above. Am I missing anything?
2. I have two locations (1 private and 1 public) where I will be scouting this weekend (yes I have permission on the private already). Here is the question - to call or not to call when scouting. Thoughts?
3. If I am graced to harvest a gobbler, what is my next step? I live 45 minutes from where I will be hunting. Do I need to field dress the bird right there (After a picture or two)? Do I put it on ice and take it home to do it? If I have never field dressed anything before can I screw it up (I have been researching and watching videos but it's not the same as doing it).
4. If I am not getting any response to my calls, how long should I be waiting before trying a new spot?
5. In Wisconsin, does the license need to be displayed or just on my person?
6. Anything else I need to know?
I am so pumped to get out there I cant stand it!
Thanks again for reading!

Good grammar should not be relegated to one day a year
Original post made by Gina Channell-Allen, president of the Pleasanton Weekly, on Mar 14, 2008
I'm almost positive Hallmark makes a card for this. It would read something like:
Roses are read, violets are blew,
I obviously missed National Grammar Day,
How bout ewe?
Dedicated to copy editors and English teachers, National Grammar Day is sponsored by the Society for the Promotion of Good Grammar (SPOGG) and MSN Encarta. I'm somewhat excited by groups trying to promote the use of proper grammar. Being a former editor, I'm dedicated to countering the text-message grammar prevalent among today's teens and tweens. (RU2 old 2 no wat that means? me 2.)
I admit that I sometimes use informal language and dare to split an infinitive occasionally to make my writing more conversational. Should I straighten up and fly right? Er, I mean, fly correctly?
My pet peeves:
* Compliment versus complement. I cannot compliment the misuse of "complement.' Restaurants are notorious for this.
* Homophone abuse: Bee vary careful; spellcheck doesn't catch these.
* Comma overuse: Believe it, or not, it is annoying, and distracting, when you use too many commas.
* To "a" or not to "a": I was taught in high school to use the article "an" before the words "historical" and "hotel." If a word begins with a consonant sound, use the "a" article; if it begins with a vowel sound, use "an." That means a historic event, not an historic one.
Not many others share my enthusiasm for the English language and its quirks. I drive people crazy editing menus at restaurants, advertisements in magazines and signs. But those same people who ridicule me ask for my help when they have a term paper due or have a work-related writing assignment.
According to a few blogs, the SPOGG and MSN Encarta got a little flack for the idea of National Grammar Day. Apparently a few of the presidential candidates weighed in on the promotion of special day. According to the Grammar Goddess blog: "The Obama people are working on a statement on the issue now. McCain says we should bring back rulers to smack the knuckles of grammar abusers. Hillary has a 39-point plan to simplify grammar while increasing access to grammar education."

Rather than getting people to participate in word rage by reiterating the perennial bugaboos, perhaps you take the oportunity to point out something really interesting about language. Do some RESEARCH and discover the historical reasons for some of these quirks. Show readers that there is actually more to grammar than what we learned at elementary school. For example, why not explore how the 'n't' on words like 'don't' became a suffix rather than a simple contraction a la 'll' in "I'll go".
By the way, spelling mistakes are no more a grammar issue than illegal parking is a felony.

Pet peeves. Elsewhere in these threads you will find one of them. See "parcel taxes" and the improper use of the word "effected" instead of "affected". Over the years I have observed this mistake to be ubiquitous. To me it sounds ridiculous when used incorrectly, but, of course, to the user it sounds correct. Maybe their schooling was AFFECTED by lack of parcel taxes. You know, class sizes were too large. (Yeah, I use too many commas in sentences for some people, but their use is not incorrect.)
"usage Effect and affect are often confused because of their similar spelling and pronunciation. The verb affect usually has to do with pretense <she affected a cheery disposition despite feeling down>. The more common affect denotes having an effect or influence <the weather affected everyone's mood>. The verb effect goes beyond mere influence; it refers to actual achievement of a final result <the new administration hopes to effect a peace settlement>. The uncommon noun affect, which has a meaning relating to psychology, is also sometimes mistakenly used for the very common effect. In ordinary use, the noun you will want is effect <waiting for the new law to take effect> <the weather had an effect on everyone's mood>."

I have a comment on the use of "an" instead of "a" before any word that begins with a vowel sound. That is the rule as I was taught. This seems to be what the editor says above but I am confused by the statement "That means a historic event, not an historic one."
What you use is dictated by how you pronounce "historic". If the "h" is largely silent, then use "an". If you form the word with an emphasis on sounding out the "h", then it no longer sounds so much like a vowel sound and the use of "a" seems appropriate. (Like how you would probably pronounce "hiss".)
English has one other example of this, which has no consequence on spelling, only how the word is pronounced. The word "the" is pronounced as "thee" before words that begin with a vowel sound.
Other languages have counterparts to this rule where the beginning sound of the noun dictates what the article (indefinite or definite should be). In Italian we have "uno stadio" (a stadium)instead of "un stadio" and "gli amici" (the friends) instead of "i amici". In the first instance an s+consonant forces the use of "uno" instead of "un" and in the second instance the vowel sound rule applies.
It's all about sounds...how the word sequence sounds to the ear.

My theory is that it's a type of liaison in English. French has liaisons. If a word ends in a vowel sound and the next word begins with a vowel sound, then you have to harden the end of the first word or harden the beginning of the second word in order to differentiate the two. You can hear this when Brits or Aussies speak English. Instead of saying 'I saw it' like in the US, they'll say 'I sawr it'. It's like they'll add a hard sound to the ending vowel sound of the first word if the second word begins with a vowel. Adding the hard ending to 'saw' makes it easy to say the phrase quickly. If you don't harden it, then you have to pause before beginning the next word. Try it out by speaking the phrases aloud.

I originally wrote this at Web Link, but Gina re-posted the article so I guess I'll contribute here too.
It would be nice if grammar were taught better in school and good grammar were promoted more for the sake of clear communication. That desire though needs to be tempered by the realization that language changes. My linguistics study in college biased me towards this temperance. English especially is hard to codify into one single definition due to all the variations and dialects. Most English grammar taught in school isn't even the same as how people speak and write anymore. For example, schools teach that adverbs come after the verbs (at least when I was in school). I hardly know anyone who speaks that way (I know hardly!?). Gina, you broke this rule yourself when you wrote, "I obviously missed National Grammar Day".
BTW, comma overuse to me is a punctuation issue and not a grammar problem.

Another thought... Yea, many people ("educated adults") here tend to spell poorly or use the wrong words (ie. affect/effect, compliment/complement). Like I mentioned in my post above, good grammar is valuable for the sake of communication. The people who have trouble with these technical aspects of writing are doing themselves a great disservice. Their mistakes become a distraction from the point they are trying to make and lead other posters to point out the mistakes instead of addressing the message. The same thing goes for the teens who participate on this forum. Their age is obvious when they choose to write in an informal manner. The bottom line is that these posters, both the adults and teens, may not have their messages taken seriously.
P.S. I use the Firefox browser. It has a built-in spell checker that underlines words in red that are misspelled. Very handy for writing in online forums.

Using bad grammar also makes reading comprehension more difficult. The writer may mean one thing but the reader receives a totally different message because the grammar is wrong. My biggest pet peeve is adjectives used in the place of adverbs.
Q: "How are you doing" A: "I'm doing good." WRONG
Q: "How are you doing" A: "I'm doing well." CORRECT
Jon is careless.
Jon _drives_ carelessly.
Dan _finished_ his work quickly.
Diane _walked_ slowly to school.
ADVERBS MODIFY THE VERB! ADJECTIVES MODIFY THE NOUN! Just THINK about it people!

My biggest grammar pet peeve is when people purposefully use a word, thinking it's correct grammar, when it's really not. For example:
"He carried in the groceries for my friend and I."
"I" when it should be "me, "well" when it should be "good," etc.
Also: your/you're ... their/there/they're ... to/too/two. They're different words with different meanings!
Finally, unnecessary quotation marks (Web Link) and unnecessary apostrophies. You can't just p'ut apostrophie's a'ny pla'ce you th'ink they s'hould go!

Yea yea, the confusion with your/you're and they're/their/there always makes me laugh too. It really makes people look like idiots.
Grammar like "r u m/f?" actually predates cellphone text messaging by many years. It was always considered "cool" to type like that.

Although the nuns nearly crippled me in their attempt to make sure I used grammar correctly (Does anyone teach diagramming of sentences anymore?), our society doesn't emphasize good grammar, or spelling, for that matter.
About 20 years ago, I tried to stem the tide of using the term "that" in relation to a person, as in, "I know a person that saw the concert."
I, and the rest of the English-speaking world, have been crushed by the wave and buried more deeply with the use of initials and word fragments common in text messaging.
Between all this and the increasing accommondations made to Hispanics who do not know English well enough to shop, vote, drive, etc., English, indeed, has become a second language ... in our own country.

Can we please bring up the brutal trashing of the word "our". I find even talk show hosts commonly use "are" for the meaning of "belonging to us". It makes me crazy that we Americans are butchering the English language. If we are going to continually abuse the English language should we start calling it American instead of English??? By the way - How is your Ant???? Where I grew up it is still called AUnt.
Have a nice day - y'all.

Words with meanings are also an issue for grammar. Is you "could" file a lawsuit mean the same as you "wouldn' file a lawsuit and what's the difference--cuz I can't find a university grammar teacher who knows.

Here are some things going on this morning in your world of tech:
If it's a Tuesday, which it is, it must be time for some reflection on Apple's (AAPL) prospects. The stock has reversed yesterday's gains, down $1.70, or 0.4%, at $461.88.
Gene Munster with Piper Jaffray reiterates an Overweight rating and a $767 price target, writing that although March-quarter results will miss estimates for revenue and iPhone sales, and there will be only a modest increase in the dividend, and the June forecast from the company may disappoint, nevertheless he thinks that the company will be reaching a turning point with both events, and that earnings growth should pick up the latter half of this year. He had been thinking there would be an April product event for Apple, but doesn't think that's very likely.
But Oppenheimer & Co.'s Ittai Kidron, reiterating an Outperform rating, cuts his price target to $550 from $600, after cutting estimates, arguing iPhone sales may be hurt by rumors of a mid-year product debut, wiring "We believe Apple faces a compressing iPhone upgrade timetable."
"Some supply-chain and blog commentary suggests a potential July/August refresh. Competitively a positive, but the unsubstantiated news likely hurts NT vol. anticipating the upgrade."
Shares of Netflix (NFLX) are up $6.72, or 3.7%, at $187.51, as Pacific Crest's Andy Hargreaves raised his price target on the shares to $225 from $160, arguing the company can increase its domestic subscriber number to 46 million from 43 million.
Hargreaves, who has an Outperform rating, made an appearance on CNBC this morning, declaring that there's a "paradigm shift," with outfits such as HBO increasingly moving in Netflix's direction, and that "NFLX is essentially the best in the world at executing that model" in terms of content breadth and, increasingly, quality.
T-Mobile USA, which is merging with MetroPCS (PCS), is holding a media event in New York this morning as it continues to tout how the combined company is "not going to act like" a wireless company anymore, as its slogan puts it. The Wall Street Journal's Thomas Gryta and Anton Troianovski late yesterday related how the company has decided to stop subsidizing device purchases, instead trying to offer lower monthly fees if consumers pay for the phone in full.
Shares of Dell (DELL) are up 3 cents at $14.54 as the company continues to contemplate competing offers from Carl Icahn and BlackStone Group (BX), at $15 per share and $14.25, respectively, as alternatives to the planned LBO of the company at $13.65.
Reuters's Greg Roumeliotis and Soyoung Kim late last night noted that Carl Icahn yesterday said he would be willing to strike an alliance with BlackStone for a combined bid, and has been been in "preliminary talks" with the private equity firm. R.W. Baird's Jayson Noland this morning reiterates a Neutral rating on Dell, raising his price target to $15 from $13, writing, "While the new proposals include certain caveats, we expect DELL to trade at levels around $15 per share."

Photographic images of Jesuit and Dominican missions by Marquis McDonald, traveller and writer, during a 1949-1950 overland trip down the Baja California peninsula. Many of the images illustrate McDonald's book BAJA: LAND OF LOST MISSIONS (1968).
Marquis McDonald often took the opportunity provided by overseas employment in places like Alaska, Afghanistan, Okinawa, and Saudia Arabia to travel and explore interesting places. After working in Saudia Arabia for several years following World War II, McDonald settled in Visalia, California, and took the time to pursue his interest in Baja California. Together with Glenn Oster, an acquaintance from Saudia Arabia, McDonald planned and executed an overland trip down the length of the Baja California peninsula from the autumn of 1949 through the late spring of 1950.
As the adventurers journeyed from the border to Cabo San Lucas down dirt roads in a World War II surplus jeep, they sought out mission ruins of the Jesuit and Dominican religious orders. Eighteen years later, McDonald published a book about that trip entitled Baja: Land of Lost Missions (1968), which provides descriptions of the people and places they encountered.
The Marquis McDonald Papers contain only photographic materials created during the 1949-1950 trip through Baja California, many of which were published in BAJA: LAND OF LOST MISSIONS (1968). They are principally of mission buildings in various formats of 2 1/4 black and white print, 2 1/4 ektachrome color slide, and 35mm kodachrome color slide. Most black and white negatives have corresponding prints.
The materials are organized by format. Within each format, items are arranged geographically as one would travel from north to south in the order presented in his book. A list for each format provides McDonald's descriptive title with the corresponding Archives Negative Number. Additionally, there is an alphabetical list of titles. All slides and negatives have been filed in the Archives Negative File.
Access to Photographic Materials
Black and white prints made from individual 2 1/4 black and white negatives are housed in the collection folder. In cases where a positive image does not exist for a listed negative, request assistance from the reference staff and the negative will be made available in a protective enclosure for inspection.

I absolutely can't believe this. Getting ready to resilicone my 125 gal and...
as I'm doing the final prep and wiping down the inside joints with acetone, I hear three loud pops which turn out to be the top plastic frame splitting in three places. Two didn't separate so much and one did, although all three were all the way through.
This was the larger one. Tank is upside down on the stand.
So, just to be absurd I'll ask...is it possible to run a 125 gal tank with this type of damage, or does this cracked top frame necessarily need to be replaced? All three breaks were in the middle of the longer sections of the frame and none were too close to a cross support.
Top view...
I've been told my tank is an Aqueon brand. The glass measures exactly 18" x 72" and the top and bottom frames are two inches tall.
If it's at all possible to replace the top frame then I might as well do both. Anyone know where I should look to purchase these frame parts? Thanks.
I would contact the manufacture and ask them.
In many cases, those top frames provide structural support for the tank otherwise the manufacture would not go through the extra expense of adding them
I would suggest replacing that frame pc before filling it with water. You might also be able to order a replacement frame pc from the manufacture as wellIf you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.

Sounds like it's time for a frame replacement. I just had to do that on a 55 gallon. I checked where I purchased my frame and they don't list any in sizes over 48" tho. Cliff is right to call Aqueon. They may tell you how to get one. They once told me any store that carries All Glass (now called Aqueon) would order me one.
Sorry about this because it really is a problem. If you can't replace that frame, you may have to use the tank for something else. Snakes, hamsters, lizards, etc, or sell it to someone for that purpose. Sounds to me as you picked this tank up used since it needed new silicone, too? Who knows. Perhaps it may leak, as well, and you would not be able to use it anyway.

PS........Check out Vivariums and Paludariums. It would take a change in plans but some of them are very cool with part water and even no water. Good options to a large tank that is unusable.
I saw a YouTube instructional video on resealing aquariums that says to always take the top frame off before resealing as small stress points in the glass can crack it when the silicone is removed. Possibly that is what happened here?
Did the tank sit for an extended period of time in between when you removed the old silicone and went to put in the new?
If you are already taking the time to reseal I'd def replace the frame if you can find one. Not worth risking a 125 gallon flood.~Manna

Thread: Albino stopped eating
Albino stopped eating
Howdy ! Well, it seems like my albino cichlid has gone on a hunger strike....out of spite. No, really...he stopped eating because I gave him some different food. Story goes like this. Back on 10/24 I had run out of his usual food (Hikari Sinking Cichlid Gold) and so I went to the pet store..and they were out of stock. The fish guy went on and on about this other brand (New Life Spectrum Thera +A ) and if I didnt get something then the fish wouldnt have had food in two days so I got it. Went home, put some in the tank...fish swam over, gulped it up...and BAM...instant reaction...Spit it out. Swam around ...gulped it up again...and spit it out again. And that's the way it went for 4 or 5 days. I was hoping he'd get used to it, but he didnt. By the 6th day I went to the store again..but was only able to get him the floating version of his food. He ate a little bite of that...and spit it out. This past Saturday I was finally able to get him his old food...but he just let the pellets float down next to him and sit there. Hes just not interested in eating anymore. So...counting Saturday..this is the 5th day he hasn't eaten.
Right before the new food he was fine as far as I could tell. Externally he looks fine. Nothing growing on him or nothing like that. His fins look great. He looks to be perfectly healthy.
Sunday I put in a new filter and have been doing 25 percent water changes since.
Last night he was out of his house and swimming around slowly from time to time. Even coming to the front of the tank and watching me, usual stuff like that...its just I dropped a pellet into the tank...and he didnt care.
Tonight...he's been staying in his house only coming out once or twice....but for some strange reason...goes back into his house if I open the tank lid...where as before he would come out to the glass with his nose if I put my finger to the glass. Not sure whats up with that, either. What's also strange is something I noticed last night. I turned the light off...and he came out of his house and livened up. I just did it right now...and he came right out to the front of the tank....looked around and went back in. Now he came back out again and is staying out. Could the light be bothering him?
Anyway....I'm hesitant to medicate just for the sake of he's not acting normal and also he's not exhibiting any signs of internal or external disease...meaning he's not Flashing about or stuff like that.
So does any one have any ideas about whats going on and how I can help him. Obviously somethings gotta be done pretty quick. He hasn't eaten normally in days.
Much thanks
First, a healthy fish will not starve itself so if you are sure nothing is wrong with him, call his bluff. A healthy fish can go more than a few days without eating and remain a healthy fish.
Second, it does seem like the lights are bothering him for some reason. Have you tried feeding him with the lights off?
Finally, to help determine if there might be something wrong with the fish have you checked parameters, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate and when was the last time you checked your tap water for the same? Is he the only fish in the tank or are there other fish that might be bothering him in some way? How often are you doing the 25% water changes? You may need to do more and more often, nitrate levels are a good way to determine this.When I go fishing I just throw sharp rocks in the water and wait for the dead fish to float to the top...

Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes that reason is you are stupid and make bad decisions.
I think my fish is adjusting well to the four gallon, He's laying on his side attempting to go to sleep on the bottom of the gravel.

Dear naps, sorry I hated you so much when I was a child... Love me
Hi. Oppss...I forgot to mention that ...Yes, He is in his own tank. And as far as water changes go...typically I do them every week or so. Last 3 days I've been doing them every night. And also on inspiration...I did try dropping pellets in while the lights were off....he either didnt see them or ignored them. I turned the light back on. He stayed out for a bit....and now is back inside. Peculiar.
You know...my Fish Disease Chart (you know..the one that does comes with the Mardel medicines) does get to a part where it asks " fish appears sluggish hiding, not eating" and goes on to describe physical symptoms (swollen body, red spots, bleeding)...none of which he has. Well he kinda sorta qualifies under the part...meaning the first two...sometimes....and he is definitely not eating. It puts those actions as possible Dropsy. I dont see how though. The water and filtration have been looked after. Anyway...it says treat with Maracyn Two.
He's back out now...swimming around a bit. I wish he'd put up a sign or something.
It does make it difficult when they can't tell us what is wrong. Try this, it has helped me diagnose a few times. http://www.fishyportal.com/diag/When I go fishing I just throw sharp rocks in the water and wait for the dead fish to float to the top... Kingfisher

Wow Mommy1 - Thats the best diagnostics chart I have ever seen. It says you must click on 2 conditions. So far I've only found 1 - "Fish stop feeding". The other one might be "Fish hide in secluded places"...but he doesnt do that all the time.
Last night since nothing external was obvious so I had to fall back on that it has to be something internal and gave him a small dose of Kanacyn. Later I found out that the medicine was old and chucked it and picked him up some Maracyn 2 on my way home because it specifically says for treating fish that wont eat.
When I got home Albino was very active, swimming about and such...even with the light on. He even seemed annoyed with his refection so I turned the light off.
Tonight I did a 1/3 water change to get rid of last nights medicine and am gradually giving him a dose of the Maracyn 2 to get him used to it.
He's swimming about quite actively, in the dark right now....just not eating yet.
Stay tuned.
Thanks again for the guide.
Okay...well...Albino is still alive...but he hasnt started eating yet. He definitely appears to have lost some weight. Not eating for over a week will do that.
Speaking of week....based on that diagnosis chart that Mommy1 sent me...and using the only two known criteria that i can "see" he meets....namely he wont eat and sometimes hides...I've been treating him for an internal parasite with Maracyn 2. Today is the 5th day of the recommended days. Not entirely sure that its helping. So far the only thing I see its done is that he's not bothered by the tank light and stays out of his house most the time like he used to. Which leads me back to that...he's just not eating.
I was wondering if it would be okay to change his medication. I have CLOUT and that has worked pretty well in the past. Maracyn 2 says you can use it for a second week....but I'm not entirely convinced on the results of the 1st week. Would it be okay to switch medications?
Albino did do something strange tonight. He swam up to the front of the tank and...of all things spit out a pellet that had been sitting on the bottom for a day. Then he swam over and scooped up another one....and spit it out too. Then a minute later he did a couple power swims from one side of the tank to the other....kinda like eating bothered or agitated him.
I turned the light off and he calmed down.
I still wish he'd put up a sign....with more specific info besides...I dont wanna eat.
As usual...all advise is appreciated.
Isn't maracyn two an antibiotic? I don't think it helps any against
Internal parasites.
Well...I just read some product info that says "Mardel Maracyn-Two - Antibiotic for controlling gram negative internal and external bacterial infections." ......so wouldnt that mean it does?
Then again...if I would have found this article earlier....I wouldnt have wasted a week because I didnt know that one Internal medicine doesnt treat both internal bacterial and parasite conditions.
Thanks....for correcting my direction.
I'll be starting him on CLOUT tomorrow.
You may want to catch the fish in a net and gently inspect inside it's mouth to check for any obstructions. Years ago I had a fish with a piece of gravel lodged in the back of it's throat.
If everything looks ok, I have had success soaking pellets in garlic to entice a finicky fish into eating. Just crush a clove of garlic and let a few pellets soak up the juice for a minute before feeding.

Email: firstname.lastname@example.com Website: UCLA ARCC Research Center
Principal Investigator: Jeffrey L. Cummings, M.D.Medical Director: George Bartzokis, M.D.
The UCLA ARCC was established in 1985 and is an acclaimed facility for clinical research on Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related disorders. The Center has also been a federally-funded Alzheimer's Disease Core Center (ADCC) since 1991, and was awarded additional basic science research funding forming the current UCLA Center in April 1999. The State Alzheimer's Disease Research Center of California (ARCC) complements existing National Institute on Aging (NIA) funding and brings additional AD research and care resources to UCLA. The Center is directed by Jeffrey L. Cummings, M.D., who serves as the Principal Investigator and Medical Director of both the UCLA Center and the UCLA ARCC, and ensures the integration of cores and projects between both centers.
The UCLA ARCC is comprised of an interdisciplinary collaborative team of health-care professionals dedicated to improving the lives of patients with AD and their caregivers. The Center's goal is to discover the best means of optimizing the cognition, function, and behavior of the Alzheimer's patient and the quality of life of patients and their caregivers. The Center's team accepts the challenge of developing research, educational, and clinical programs appropriate to a multicultural society.
The UCLA ARCC offers patients and their caregivers access to diagnostic and treatment planning services, treatment with approved and experimental medications, and educational programs about AD and related dementias. The activities of the Center expand the opportunities for care and research activities at UCLA and affiliated sites, translating research advances for widespread community use, and developing information and programs with practical applications that improve the care of dementia patients and their caregivers.
Three active clinical research sites serve different ethnic populations: UCLA Medical Center, Drew Medical School/Martin Luther King Jr. Medical Center (Drew/King),and Olive View Medical Center. The patients cared for at UCLA Medical Center are largely white, non-Hispanic; the population served by the Drew/King Memory Disorders and Cerebral Function Clinic is largely African American; and the population served by the Olive View Medical Center is nearly exclusively Hispanic. This structure of the Center allows clinicalactivities, research projects, and educational and translational activities to embrace three ethnic groups and provide data critically important for providing care to dementia victims in an ethnically and culturally diverse state such as California.

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) announced today that beginning with the 2010 hurricane season, their hurricane and tropical storm watches and warnings for the U.S. coast will be extended in time by an additional 12 hours. Warnings will now be issued 36 hours in advance instead of 24 hours, and watches will be issued 48 hours in advance, instead of 36 hours. The increase in lead time for watches and warnings has been made possible by the tremendous improvement in hurricane track forecasts, which have improved by over 50% in the past twenty years (Figure 1). "With increases in population and infrastructure along vulnerable U.S. coastlines, emergency managers need more lead time in order to make life-saving decisions regarding evacuations", said Bill Read, director of NOAA's National Hurricane Center, in today's press release.

NHC has been debating for a number of years how best to "invest" the gains accrued from the steady improvement in hurricane track forecasts. One obvious savings from these better hurricane forecasts has come from the reduced evacuation costs. When a hurricane warning is issued 24 hours before the expected arrival of hurricane-force winds at the coast, it costs approximately $1 million to evacuate each mile of U.S. coast warned (Aberson et al., 2006). This number will be higher for more densely populated areas of the coast, such as Miami, and may be a factor of six lower for the North Carolina coast (Whitehead, 2003). According to a 2007 presentation at the 61st Interdepartmental Hurricane Conference, the length of coast warned decreased significantly in the past decade. During the decade of the 1990s, the average length of a hurricane warning was 455 miles, but that fell to just 335 miles between 2000 - 2006. Thus, an average of 120 fewer miles of coast were warned, at an average savings of $120 million per hurricane warning issuance. During this period, 17 storms requiring 25 hurricane warnings occurred. If the costs of coastal evacuations are indeed $1 million per mile, the improved hurricane forecasts between 2000 - 2006 resulted in savings of $3 billion compared to what the forecasts of the 1990s would have cost.
However, the new increased lead times for hurricane watches and warnings will lead to an increase in the length of coast warned, due to the higher uncertainties in hurricane tracks at longer forecast lead times. Between 2004 - 2008, approximately 25% of the coast that was placed under a hurricane warning actually received hurricane force winds; this percentage was 20% for areas placed under a hurricane watch. These percentages will decline with the new increased watch and warning lead times, costing money in unnecessary evacuations, and leading to increased complacency in the warned population due to too much "crying wolf".
Balanced against these increased costs is the potential disastrous loss of life should a hurricane hit an unprepared, heavily populated shoreline. With the U.S. population continuing to increase rapidly in coastal regions, the time needed to evacuate vulnerable populated regions is increasing. For example, evacuation times for the major urban areas of Texas are 28 - 34 hours for a major hurricane. Though the costs of overwarning the coast is significant, the savings in both human lives and dollars from increased warning times should outweigh these costs. In the 2002 book, Hurricane: Coping With Disaster, Dr. Hugh Willoughby, former director of the Hurricane Research Division of NOAA's Atlantic Oceanographic and Marine Laboratory, analyzed hurricane death statistics. In 1950, about 70 U.S. residents died per year in hurricanes. In the 50 years since, the coastal population expanded by a factor of 3.2, so if we were managing the hurricane problem the way we did in 1950, we would be losing about 220 people a year. The long-term average is still about twenty per year, not including the deaths due to the levee failures during Katrina. That means we're preventing about 200 deaths per year compared with 1950. How much are these saved lives worth? A life, is, of course, priceless, but in the cold world of economics, the value of life-saving scientific research and government regulations is estimated using statistics of what people are willing to pay to avoid certain risks, and what extra money employers pay their workers to take on additional risks. This data comes primarily from payroll statistics, but opinion surveys also play a role. In 2004, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) valued an American life at $8 million. EPA cut the value of a life by 8% that year, and a further 3% in May 2008, making the economic value of a life $6.9 million in today's dollars. The Department of Transportation gives a lower figure of a life as being worth $5.8 million. Using this number implies a savings of about $1.2 billion per year for the 200 lives saved per year by better hurricane warnings and evacuations. Today's decision by NHC to increase warning times should continue this trend of saving lives, which will also provide considerable monetary benefit. Despite the increased costs and dangers of "crying wolf" too often due to overwarning the coast, I believe that the double value of saving lives--for both the intrinsic and monetary value of a human life--makes NHC's move of increasing warning and watch times the right call.

K-1 World MAX 2011 -63kg Japan Tournament FINAL on June 25
- Written by Rian Scalia
Just as we assumed, today the K-1 brass announced a new -63kg Tournament that will take place on June 25. They'll look to build off of their -63kg Tournament last year, which featured all Japanese fighters. It's a different approach for K-1 as they try to build up new Japanese stars to possibly create a new star that can somewhat "revive" K-1.
It'll be an 8 man tournament, the winner will have to win 3 fights in one night to claim the crown. Here are the brackets:
Quarter Finals, -63kg Japan Tournament
|K-1 MAX Japan 63kg Tournament
|Tetsuya Yamato
|Koya Urabe
|Yuta Kubo
|Kaizemon Saiga
|Yuki Takeuchi
|Masaaki Noiri
Super Fight, -70kg
Yoshihiro Sato vs. Albert Kraus
The -63kg tournament features some of the same names from last year, mixed in with new names. Koya Urabe, HIROYA, Yuki Takeuchi and Masaaki Noiri are the new names in the tournament and without doubt deserve to be there. Many were disappointed that some of these names didn't take place in the inaugural -63kg tournament last year. Koya Urabe and HIROYA are the most notable of these new participants. Urabe being a reserve fighter in last year's tournament and a prominent fighter in KRUSH while HIROYA was one of the faces of the K-1 Koshien series. Definitely a better field of fighters than last year's tournament. If the first -63kg tournament last year is anything to base this off of, then you should expect fireworks.
The addition of Yoshihiro Sato vs. Albert Kraus is a great one as both men haven't had the best of results lately and look to get back to the top. It's a big fight between 2 top 10 middleweight fighters that is sure to add some interest to the card for those who aren't familiar with the tournament participants.
As of right now, the chances of a TV deal are looking slim. There's no TV deal in Japan and with the event just being announced, it's unlikely HDNet will hop on board.
Be on the lookout for more details in the lead up to the event.

some people dont think before they type do they?
When I die I want to hire the Miami Dolphin's to be my pallbearers so they can let me down one last time.
I vote nay� his med history is just too, too ponderous. sad
I would trade a conditional 2nd for him. Percy Harvin is perfect for this offense. His route running breaks ankles.
Percy would be a wet dream. I had hoped we would draft him when he came out of UF. He is worth the risk, there arent many like him playing today. I cant see the Vikes trading him though. Id give up the lower 2nd rounder for him in a heartbeat. Im really digging the Cordarrelle Patterson pick for who mentioned that earlier.
Why do you want one of the most injury prone players in the league again? Out of curiosity, what good is giving up a second rounder for a player who will definitely miss at least 4 games every year. Maybe trade a 4th, or a conditional 4th that turns into a 3rd with playing time. If he could be relied upon, definitely a second, but....
I believe any man's finest hour - his greatest fulfillment to all he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle...Victorious
I gotta say, the only thing more laughable than the Vikings trading Harvin for a 2nd round pick are the people in this thread saying the Dolphins shouldn't do that trade.
It gets better with people mindlessly calling him injury prone - missed 3 games total in his previous 3 seasons before this year.

che trasforma Venezia in un mondo magico
Athletes from all around the world to cross the finishing line in Saint Mark Square.
On October 26th will be held the 29th edition of the Venicemarathon, one of the most important race in the worldwide background with its 42,195 km. A race that still fascinates both athletes and public.
The itinerary will start at Riviera del Brenta, where the first fifteen km of the marathon will walk through in direction of Venice and it will cross the finishing line in the beautiful location of Saint Mark Square. During the last kilometers the marathon runners will face the 354 Venice's bridges, and one more on the occasion of the Venicemarathon. It is the one built for the marathon which allows athletes to reach Saint Mark Square from the Punta della Dogana crossing the Grand Canal.
Along all the itinerary there will be musician bands to entertain both athletes and public.
Actually Venicemarathon is also hub of initiatives. In particular San Giuliano Park will be the center for the pre-marathon week's events: on Thursday the opening of Exposport and Open Sport and on Saturday the Family Run race for the youngers.
The proceeds from the sportive event will be allocated to young bombing victims, as "Bimbiingamba" that provides them limb prostheses.
Enjoy your race!!

Estrich to discuss 'The State of Women in America,' March 27
Posted March 21, 2003; 01:32 p.m.
commentator and author Susan Estrich will speak at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, March 27, in McCosh 10. Her address is titled "Sex and Power: The State of Women in America."
Estrich is the Robert Kingsley Professor of Law and Political Science at the University of Southern California and the author of "Real Rape," "Getting Away With Murder: How Politics Is Destroying the Criminal Justice System" and "Sex and Power." In 1988 she became the first woman to head a national presidential campaign when she managed Michael Dukakis' bid for the White House.
Estrich is expected to discuss why, despite gains in income, education and power, women account for only 3 percent of the nation's top executives. She will present her view that until women reach the seats of power -- where the rules are made -- the deck will continue to be stacked against them.
Estrich's talk is designated as the Meredith Miller-Spencer Trask Lecture and is sponsored by the Program in the Study of Women and Gender , the Public Lectures Committee and the Women's Center .

Conservator asks to liquidate August Wilson Center assetsJanuary 22, 2014 6:23 PM
A former U.S. bankruptcy judge appointed to try to save the August Wilson Center for African American Culture has concluded that it is an impossible task under current circumstances.
In a report filed Tuesday, conservator Judith Fitzgerald recommended that the Downtown center be sold and its assets liquidated to pay off a $7 million mortgage and other outstanding debt. She said there is "simply no possibility of continued viability of AWC as it currently exists."
Ms. Fitzgerald made her recommendation, which will be discussed at a hearing Friday, after being rejected at attempts to secure funding for operations from the Heinz Endowments, the Richard King Mellon Foundation, the McCune Foundation, the Allegheny Regional Asset District, and mortgage holder Dollar Bank.
The result of the meetings with those entities and others "led to the unfortunate conclusion that there is no financial support for continuing the long term operations of AWC, and AWC cannot continue to operate without that support," she wrote.
And without such funding or more time from the bank to put together a business plan to "rebrand" the $40 million center so that it can continue to fulfill its mission, there's little hope of recovery, Ms. Fitzgerald said.
"Thus, the conservator is left with an impossible task; that is, to conserve an entity that has no strategic plan and insufficient cash to operate -- and has run out of time," she wrote.
Ms. Fitzgerald estimated the center's total accumulated debt at $9.5 million to $10 million. She added the center doesn't have the money to pay off debt or to fund normal operations or feasibility studies. Nor is money available to hire professionals or experts needed to help turn around the facility, she added.
In an interview, Ms. Fitzgerald said that she was not trying to cast either the foundations, RAD or Dollar Bank in a "bad light." She said the bank has funded insurance costs and has paid utilities even after filing for foreclosure in September. It also has put up money to pay Ms. Fitzgerald's fees as a conservator.
The foundations, she said, had put a lot of money into the center in the past but "they're not comfortable putting more in right now."
"I'm really not trying to cast any aspersions. I'm trying to explain why this process has been frustrating," she said. "I'm simply saying we can't get any money released and without it we can't go forward."
In her report, Ms. Fitzgerald said the foundations have "their own alternative proposals that they want to pursue" regarding the center but declined to discuss those in an interview. She also said that Dollar Bank rejected another alternative pitched by the foundations, one she again declined to discuss.
The Heinz Endowments and McCune Foundation had no comment on Ms. Fitzgerald's report. Officials with the Mellon Foundation could not be reached for comment.
RAD is still holding $225,000 from its 2013 allocation in escrow for the August Wilson Center and has set aside $300,000 for this year. David Donahoe, RAD executive director, said those funds are available to the center if it files a plan of operation and a budget "that makes sense," as all organizations are required to do. So far the center hasn't done so, he said.
Ms. Fitzgerald said she was told at a meeting last month that RAD would release $125,000 if the foundations would match it. Since the foundations have refused to provide any money, she hasn't pursued the RAD funding, she said.
In a statement after the release of the report, Eric Schaffer, attorney for Dollar Bank, said, "The court charged the conservator with conducting a thorough investigation and her report shows that she has done just that. The conservator's conclusions appear to be well-founded."
Ms. Fitzgerald said she doesn't have any formal offers for the building should a liquidation be ordered but added she does have confidentiality agreements with some parties looking at the space.
Her first choice, she noted, would be to sell to a buyer interested in keeping it as a cultural center. Another possibility would be to find entities willing to do long-term leases lucrative enough to pay off the building's debt.
The Pittsburgh school board has passed a resolution to form an ad hoc committee to explore a possible purchase.
One person who opposes the recommended liquidation is former Pittsburgh Urban Redevelopment Authority executive director Mulugetta Birru, a founding member of the center. He is one of four founding members who are trying to save the center.
"This is a community asset, and I hope the attorney general will step in and I hope some leadership in Pittsburgh will step up and try to find a solution," he said.
An attorney for the state attorney general's office, which intervened in the case after Dollar Bank filed for foreclosure, could not be reached for comment.
County Common Pleas Orphans' Court Judge Lawrence O'Toole appointed Ms. Fitzgerald in November as part of a bid to save the center and its mission in the face of mounting debt and the possible foreclosure.
Opened in 2009, the center was designed to celebrate African-American culture in Pittsburgh and throughout the country and to pay homage to August Wilson, the late Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright who grew up in the Hill District and who set nine of his 10-play cycle there.
History of the August Wilson Center for African-American Culture
What began as an idea by passionate artists in the 1980s morphed into the the African American Cultural Center of Greater Pittsburgh and finally, a building and an opening under the name of famed Hill District-born playwright August Wilson. Fundraising tended to be difficult; the project cost rose from an estimated $35.9 million in 2005 to about $40 million.
1984: Emma Slaughter, an artist from Homewood, founds the Homewood Art Museum, a group seeking to build a black museum in the neighborhood. With empty plots of land but limited funding, the group begins sponsoring exhibits in the early 1990s in lieu of constructing a building.
1996: Over the course of several years, a consortium of local leaders meet to debate the idea. Ms. Slaughter, insistent that the cultural center was her idea and should be located in Homewood, found herself at odds with city leaders. URA director Mulugetta Birru and Councilman Sala Udin were among those who were open to a Downtown location.
1998: A feasibility study is conducted using funds from a variety of sources, including local foundations.
Late 1990s: Meetings and conversations on the potential museum begin to take shape, with a proposal to locate it Downtown. Ms. Slaughter remains steadfast in her desire for the facility to be in a black community.
2001: The site at Liberty Avenue and 10th Street is selected.
2002: The African American Cultural Center of Greater Pittsburgh is established; the name was changed to the August Wilson Center for African American Culture in 2006.
2003: The cultural center selects as director Neil Barclay, who left in 2009 just before the center's opening.
2006: Work begins on the 65,000-square-foot facility.
2009: Neil Barclay exits before the center's September opening that year. An interim director is in charge until Andre Kimo Stone Guess takes over in April 2010; he eventually leaves in July 2012.
May 11, 2013: Lacking cash to make payroll, the center lays off almost a dozen staff members.
September 27, 2013: Dollar Bank moves to foreclose on the $40 million building for mortgage nonpayment; The center borrowed $11 million -- refinanced to $7 million -- to complete construction. The bank said the center had not made its February mortgage payment of $53,639, nor any after that.
Nov. 27, 2013: RAD votes to withhold its $300,000 allocation until the troubled center emerges from foreclosure with a sound financial plan.

It depends on a couple of factors. If file size is a problem for you, then you'd be better off making clips, rather than having one huge file. But if HD space isn't really a problem and you want better quality, then I'd suggest you go to the guides section and check out ErMaC's guide.
Everyone is not the same as you.

I guess you havent mastered the art of In and Out points.
You dont have to put the whole file on the timeline at all.
I'm currently working with avisynth files that refer to DVD versions of 2 episodes per file and I'm not finding it difficult getting clips.

use the bin fool!
You do have to put the clip in premire, just not in the timeline itself. You put your clips or episodes or however you have the footage in the bin. Its pretty much just a folder that links to where your clips are so they can be all over your HD if you want them to be. Then you can double click on those files which brings up the clip window where you can set in and out points using the bracket thingys for the correct piece of footage that you want to use. Then use the same bracket thingys on your timeline to mark the place you want your footage to go. From there you just hit the insert button and make sure you have the correct destination video and audio tracks selected and there appears the part you just selected. If the footage is too long or short it will ofer to adjust speed for you or if it is a frame or two too long it will just trucate it for you if you so desire. I can't imagine putting an entire episode onto the timeline and then chopping it up to get the right clip, that would suck.

By Errol Castens/NEMS Daily Journal
NEW ALBANY – Self-taught art is as much a part of the American mind-set as carving farms out of wilderness or inviting a distant monarch to vacate his troops from our soil.
That legacy will be represented when "Folk Art and Friendly Folk" is featured at the Union County Heritage Museum. The exhibit opens Sunday, with an open house from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m., and runs regular hours through March 20.
Museum Director Jill Smith describes the works of the eight participating artists as "primitive, traditional, untrained, Americana, whimsical, naïve, eccentric, outsider and visionary. … Each artist is unique in their style, creativity and materials."
John Davis of Water Valley, whose works include both furniture and musical instruments, said, "I'm kind of fascinated with starting with a piece of wood and seeing what can be made of it. A lot of my work … is about proving what I could do. That's always fun."
Clyde McDowell of New Harmony makes every work different from the next.
"I usually use whatever I've got," said the retired engineer, noting that a barn demolition gave rise to totem poles and birdhouses.
"To me, there's a lot of independence in this. You get to do your own thing," he said. "I have art that I've put out on the roadside, and some people will stop and tell me they brought their family out just to see it."
Jeanette Stone from Potts Camp weaves, dyes and felts decorative fabric creations. A veteran re-enactor at the museum's annual Heritage Pioneer Days, she also uses gourds to create lamps, musical instruments and characters.
Like many folk artists, Brad Smith of Jug Fork uses whatever surrounds him to craft his creations. Obsolete farm implements, tools and other recycling-bound metal instead become whimsical faces from his imaginative mind.
Dee Thompson of Benton County paints rural scenes on canvas, bringing memories to life. Among her specialties is creating her own Christmas-card scenes.
Doyle Caviness of Union County is both a fisherman and an artist. His fly-tying – mimicking nature to try to outsmart a bass, bream or trout – is one way he combines the two, and watercolor painting is another.
Woodcarver Ship Chandler of New Albany sees possibilities in seemingly ordinary finds – an oddly shaped vine, a piece of antler or bone – to integrate into his walking canes.
Whimsy is abundant in "Folk Art and Friendly Folk" as evidenced by Ralph Barnes' Tyrannosaurus Rex, made of metal, including bent rake tines for teeth and wrenches for claws.
The T-Rex is characteristic of much of Barnes' work, Smith said – "funny, quirky and sometimes larger than life."

I don't think auto relays are rated for 15A+.. You are going to have to find a relay rated at 30A or more. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=120v+30a+relay&_sacat=0&_from=R40
but again,will the contact switch terminals handle 120v ac.. ?thats my concern, im no electrician, but i mess with this stuff, and i just dont want something failing and having to explain to landlord why the house went poof
I don't think auto relays are rated for 15A+..
Sure there are, it's a pretty common relay application for controlling power window motors, seat motors, etc.
I suspect most 'automotive' relays are not rated for 120vac operation and unless they were I wouldn't use them as such. I was just responding to the statement:

Stem cells help to create new cells in existing healthy tissues, and may help repair tissues in areas that are injured or damaged. They are the basis for the specific cell types that make up each organ in the body.
Stem cells are distinguished from other cells by a few important characteristics: they have the ability to self-renew; they have the ability to divide for a long period of time; and, under certain conditions, they can be induced to differentiate into specialized cells with distinct functions (phenotypes) including, but not limited to, cardiac cells, liver cells, fat cells, bone cells, cartilage cells, nerve cells, and connective tissue cells. The ability of cells to differentiate into a variety of other cells is termed multipotency.
What scientists learn about controlling stem cell differentiation can become the basis for new treatments of many serious diseases and injuries.
Scientists primarily work with two main types of stem cells: adult stem cells and embryonic stem cells. Adult stem cells are used in research for orthopaedic conditions.
Embryonic stem cells are more basic cells obtained in the laboratory. Unlike adult stem cells, which are obtained from living human tissue, embryonic stem cells are removed from human embryos that have been fertilized in the laboratory or in vitro. They are typically removed 4 to 5 days after fertilization and then grown in culture.
Embryonic cells are pluripotent and can develop into almost any type of cell in the body. Adult stem cells are more tissue-specific and are therefore more useful to orthopaedic surgeons who are attempting to repair bone, muscle, and cartilage. Orthopaedic surgeons who use cell therapy typically work with adult stem cells.
The most common (and probably the most studied) source for adult stem cells is the bone marrow, which contains two types: hematopoietic (blood forming cells) and mesenchymal stem cells. Of particular interest in orthopaedic research are bone marrow stromal cells. These are mesenchymal stem cells that, in the proper environment, can differentiate into cells that are part of the musculoskeletal system. They can help to form trabecular bone, tendon, articular cartilage, ligaments, and part of the bone marrow.
Researchers in the last 10 years have reported the presence of adult stem cells in several other tissues aside from bone marrow, including the brain, hair follicles, dental pulp, skin, liver, skeletal muscle, blood vessel walls, pancreas, and intestine.
Another stem cell that has been studied recently is the cancer stem cell. Researchers believe that a stem cell proliferates to give rise to tumors in a growing list of cancers. Such cells regenerate the tumor after cycles of cancer therapy and surgery. Comparative studies of the signaling pathways of normal and cancer stem cells could provide information on what specific molecules can be targeted to screen for and to prevent the formation of cancers.
Adult stem cells are most commonly obtained from the outside part of the pelvis, the iliac crest. A needle is inserted in the iliac bone and bone marrow is withdrawn or aspirated through the needle. Several samples may be obtained from one area in this manner.
The stem cells may then be separated from other cells in the marrow and grown or expanded in the laboratory. This may take from 7 to 21 days.
When stem cells are placed in a specific tissue environment, such as bone, they become activated. As they divide, they create new stem cells and second generation, progenitor cells. It is the progenitor cells which may differentiate into newer cells with the same phenotype as the host tissue.
Stem cell researchers are hopeful that, in the future, a wide range of diseases and traumatic injuries will be cured by some application of cell therapy using stem cells.
Currently, donated organs and tissues are used to replace lost or damaged tissue in many disorders. The great regenerative potential of stem cells has created intense research involving experiments aimed at replacing tissues to treat Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, spinal cord injury, stroke, burns, heart disease, and diabetes.
While some success has been achieved with laboratory animals, a very limited number of experiments have been conducted on humans. These few experiments, however, have shown the great potential for stem cells. Scientists believe that a deep understanding of the complex phenomenon of stem cell differentiation will lead to a potential cure for serious medical conditions that are caused by abnormal cell division and differentiation, such as cancer and several growth and development disorders.
Another reason why stem cell biologists are excited about this field is that human stem cells could also be used to test new drugs. For example, new medications could be tested for safety by applying them to specialized cells differentiated from a stem cell clone. Cancer treatment, for instance, could benefit tremendously if anti-tumor drugs could be tailored to target the tumor stem cell.
At this point, most musculoskeletal treatments using stem cells are performed at research centers as part of controlled clinical trials. Stem cell procedures are being developed to treat bone fractures and nonunions, regenerate articular cartilage in arthritic joints, and heal ligaments or tendons. These are detailed below.
Bone fractures and nonunions: In bone, progenitor cells may give rise to osteoblasts, which become mature bone cells, or osteocytes. Osteocytes are the living cells in mature bone tissue. Stem cells may stimulate bone growth and promote healing of injured bone.
Traditionally, bone defects have been treated with solid bone graft material placed at the site of the fracture or nonunion. Stem cells and progenitor cells are now placed along with the bone graft to stimulate and speed the healing.
Articular cartilage: The lining of joints is called the articular cartilage. Damage to the articular cartilage can frequently lead to degeneration of the joint and painful arthritis. Current techniques to treat articular cartilage damage use grafting and transplantation of cartilage to fill the defects. It is hoped that stem cells will create growth of primary hyaline cartilage to restore the normal joint surface.
Ligaments and tendons: Mesenchymal stem cells may also develop into cells that are specific for connective tissue. This would allow faster healing of ligament and tendon injuries, such as quadriceps or Achilles tendon ruptures. In this instance, stem cells would be included as part of a primary repair process.
In a recently reported Canadian study, stem cell therapy was successfully used to treat urinary incontinence in 25 patients.
Treatment involved injecting muscle stem cells into the neck of the urinary bladder to strengthen the weak valve. Most interestingly, the stem cells utilized were the patients' own cells (autologous) obtained from biopsies of the skeletal muscle from their arms.
It is noteworthy that the research used to furnish data for this therapy came from several years of work examining the potential uses of muscle-derived stem cells in treating musculoskeletal disease.
Musculoskeletal stem cell researchers are conducting numerous studies.
One recent study examined the ability of muscle-derived stem cells to repair articular cartilage and promote restoration.
Drs. Kuroda and Huard (University of Pittsburgh) and their team cultured muscle stem cells derived from newborn mice for two weeks and mixed them with fibrin glue. When applied to cartilage defects in 12-week-old athymic rats, the genetically engineered cells enhanced new cartilage formation and improved articular cartilage repair.
Dr. Lieberman (UCLA) conducted a similar study, which showed that using genetically engineered bone marrow cells from rats can significantly help heal large leg bone defects in rats.
The results of studies like these provide proof-of-concept that such methods could be used to treat osteoarthritis, nonunion fractures, and bone defects in humans.
Stem cells for cell therapies are still in the experimental phases for several diseases, conditions, and disabilities, including Type 1 diabetes (diabetes mellitus); Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases; muscle disorders, including dystrophies like Duchenne and Becker; multiple sclerosis; spinal cord injuries; ischemic brain strokes; burns; heart disease; osteoarthritis; and, rheumatoid arthritis.
Moreover, cancer therapy and detection is likely to be revolutionized by advances and greater understanding gained through stem cell science.
Another area that holds great promise for the future is the area of in utero stem cell therapy for congenital, hematological, metabolic, and immunological disorders. For many of these diseases, early intrauterine management is an ideal choice, as the immune system has not completely developed.
