TUESDAY, Nov. 16, 2010 (HealthDay News) -- Stem cells taken from the belly fat of 10 heart attack patients managed to improve several measures of heart function, Dutch researchers report.
This is the first time this type of therapy has been used in humans, said the scientists, who presented their findings Tuesday at the American Heart Association's annual meeting in Chicago.
But the improvements, though relatively dramatic in this small group of patients, were not statistically significant, probably due to the limited number of participants in the study. And another expert urged caution when interpreting the results.
"The key issue is whether a treatment makes us live longer or feel better," said Dr. Jeffrey S. Borer, chair of the department of medicine and of cardiovascular medicine at the State University of New York (SUNY) Downstate Medical Center in New York City.
This study only looked at "surrogates," meaning measures of heart function that might predict better future health in the patient, he said.
"This cannot be interpreted as if they directly represent positive clinical outcomes," Borer said. "These certainly are promising stem cell data, but there's a great deal more to do before it is possible to know whether this is a viable therapy."
Another caveat: All the patients in this trial were white Europeans. The study authors believe the results could be extrapolated to much of the U.S. population, but not necessarily to people who aren't white.
Fat tissue yields many more stem cells than bone marrow (which has been studied before) and is much easier to access.
In bone marrow, 40 cubic centimeters (cc) typically yield about 25,000 stem cells, which is "not nearly enough to treat people with," said study author Dr. Eric Duckers, head of the Molecular Cardiology Laboratory at Thoraxcenter, Erasmus University Medical Center in Rotterdam. To get enough cells to work with, those stem cells would have to be cultured, a process that can take six to eight weeks, he said.
By contrast, 100 cc's of fat tissue yield millions of stem cells, plenty to work with. A hundred cc's is about the size of a coffee cup -- a European coffee cup, not the mega-size of American coffee containers, Duckers emphasized.
"With that many cells, you can isolate them and give them to the patient right away as they come into the hospital," he explained.
All patients in this double-blind, placebo-controlled study (11 men and three women) arrived at the hospital having suffered a severe heart attack. All then underwent cardiac catheterization to assess blood flow, followed by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), more commonly known as angioplasty, to restore blood flow.
Within 24 hours of the heart attack, doctors performed liposuction to remove fat tissue, isolated 20 million stem cells and gave them back to the patients through a catheter. The infusion took no more than 10 minutes. Ten patients received stem cells and four received a placebo infusion.
"It was done very, very quickly, all in the same day," Duckers said.
Six months after the procedure, stem cell patients had better blood flow (more than triple the rate compared to patients getting a placebo), a 5.7 percent increase in heart pumping ability, and a 50 percent reduction in scarring of heart muscle (from 31.6 percent right after the heart attack to 15.4 percent). Placebo patients saw no decrease in scarring.
"In theory," Borer said, "the use of stem cells to improve myocardial perfusion [blood flow] and cardiac performance is very promising... but to the present time, although many approaches to stem cell use have been tested, there really has not yet been evidence of a clinically useful important result. That doesn't mean that stem cell research isn't an important lead to follow."
The Dutch research team is now embarking on a trial that will ultimately enroll 375 heart attack patients at 35 medical centers in the European Union to further test stem cell infusions.
The study was funded by Cytori Therapeutics Inc.

In late winter, beekeepers often find themselves thinking about their bees. Apprehension is most common when the previous fall had dismal honey production and when houses creak and snap on bone-chilling nights during January and February. Unfortunately, there isn't much northern beekeepers can do during the dead of winter. At best, newspaper can be added on top of fiberboards of live hives that … [Read more...]

In yet another soul-numbing twist to the December 2009 disappearance of Utah mother of two Susan Powell, court documents unsealed late on Friday revealed that investigators found Powell's blood inside her home as well as a handwritten will in which she made it clear that she had feared for her life.
According to CNN affiliate KSL of Salt Lake City, early in the investigation, a detective found a safe deposit box that Susan Powell had opened at a Salt Lake City bank. The box contained a handwritten will in which Powell intimated that she did not trust her husband, Josh Powell, revealing that he had "threatened to destroy her if they get divorced," leaving her children without a cohesive family. The court documents also show that the will made clear that "if Susan Powell dies it may not be an accident, even if it looks like one." Investigators say that she'd become afraid of her father-in-law, Steven Powell, who was found with child pornography on his computer in September. He was subsequently jailed and charged with 14 counts of voyeurism involving two child victims, and one count of possessing pictures of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
Steven Powell's skeeviness seems to have been an inherited trait — though Josh Powell maintained ignorance of his wife's whereabouts right up until he killed himself and his two sons in his Puyallup, Washington home, investigators found him to be uncooperative in the effort to locate his wife. In the hours after Powell's disappearance, authorities say they found two fans in the family's living that appeared to have just been cleaned, and court documents also show that Powell's cell phone was in her husband's possession, and that its SIM card was missing. West Valley City Police Sgt. Mike Powell (no relation) said, "We believe Josh intentionally removed that SIM card from the cell phone to intentionally thwart investigators."
The release of the court documents, beyond adding insight into the circumstances surrounding Susan Powell's disappearance, has raised questions (especially among Susan Powell's family members) about why police didn't arrest Powell before he killed himself and his sons in February. Meanwhile, Susan Powell remains missing, her location a mystery that West Valley City Police Chief Thayle "Buzz" Nielsen says that he and his officers "still need to work on."

When President Barack Obama meets Thursday at the Vatican with Pope Francis, it will be the 28th time that a sitting American president has met with the man who leads the Catholic Church and its estimated 1.2 billion faithful worldwide.
For nearly 140 years after America won its independence, presidents didn't look at a meeting with the pope as a hot ticket. The dominance of Protestants in the new nation, persistent questions about who really led the Catholic Church and from where, to say nothing of the difficulties of travel, all made such summits impossible.
That changed in 1919, when Woodrow Wilson became the first U.S. president to be granted a papal audience. John F. Kennedy, America's only Catholic president, made his Vatican pilgrimage just a few months before his assassination in 1963. Jimmy Carter played host in 1979 to the first White House visit by a reigning pope. George W. Bush holds the record for papal greeting; he met with two popes during his eight years in office, holding a total of six meetings.
CLICK IMAGE FOR SLIDESHOW: President John F. Kennedy and Pope Paul VI talk at the Vatican in this July 2, 1963. …
Popes frequently criticize U.S. policy — legal abortion, the death penalty and the war in Iraq have all been targets. And presidents' papal audiences are famously steeped in ceremony, with the Vatican's Swiss Guard in full regalia accompanying the president and women from the U.S. delegation wearing veils.
Jim Nicholson, who served as Bush's ambassador to the Vatican from 2001 to 2005, recalled how Pope John Paul II lightened the mood when he welcomed Bush for their third and final meeting in June 2004.
Bush, who was taking a beating in the media over the Iraq War, which the pope had opposed, walked into their meeting room escorted by an American cardinal, Edmund Szoka.
The pope slumped in his chair, weighed down physically by the ravages of Parkinson's disease.
"How are you feeling this morning, Holy Father?" Szoka asked. The pope said nothing. The cardinal repeated the question. John Paul struggled to raise his head, and it looked like he was trying to smile.
He looked at Szoka, then at Bush, then back.
"I don't know yet," the pope said slowly. "I haven't had a chance to read the American press."
"They had had their deep division over Iraq," Nicholson said in an interview with Yahoo News. But "here was the pope, expressing a kind of solidarity with President Bush, who was getting whacked in the press."
Thursday's meeting is Obama's first face-to-face with Pope Francis, an Argentine-born former nightclub bouncer whose sky-high popularity around the world recalls the president's own high standing in 2008.
The commander in chief of the world's only superpower has often expressed admiration for the leader of one of the globe's "spiritual superpowers." And Obama is hardly alone: Republican House Speaker John Boehner has extended an open-ended invitation for Francis to become the first pope to ever address a joint session of Congress.
The two had chiefly corresponded about the negotiations to end World War I.
"Humanity has its eyes fixed on the great President of the greatest democracy in the world," the pope wrote Wilson on Nov. 8, 1918.
When Wilson and Pope Benedict XV came face to face on Jan. 4, 1919, the president's doctor chronicled the meeting in his diary. "The entrance of His Holiness was announced by the tinkling of a small bell," Cary T. Grayson wrote. "He was small of stature, not more than five feet four inches, and apparently weighed about one hundred and thirty pounds."
In 1928, for example, New York Gov. Al Smith — Herbert Hoover's Democratic rival — had to contend with editorial cartoons showing him kneeling to the pope, as well as whisper campaigns that he would annul Protestant marriages and forbid Americans from owning Bibles.
Dwight D. Eisenhower's Dec. 6, 1959, meeting set the pattern presidents have followed ever since: Every chief executive has met at least once with the pope.
Reporters entered the room to find the president, the pope and some of their closest aides "roaring with laughter," according to Gen. Vernon Walters, a U.S. military adviser.
Why? The Italian-born pope had observed that he spoke French, Bulgarian and Turkish but struggled with his English lessons. Eisenhower asked how the effort was going. The pope replied: "The more I study English, the more I realize that papal infallibility does not cover pronunciation."
Kennedy faced some of the same ugliness that helped to doom Smith's campaign. Norman Vincent Peale, perhaps the country's most influential Protestant pastor, suggested that Kennedy's election would erode the boundary between church and state. Kennedy's formal rebuttal is the stuff of political campaign legend.
Kennedy sent a delegation to Pope Paul VI's installation ceremony in June 1963 and met with him at the Vatican on July 2, 1963.
An undated note from the pope to the president is addressed "To Our Beloved Son, John F. Kennedy, President of the United States of America." That's the State Department's translation, anyway: The original note was in Latin.
The pope gave the visiting president several gifts, including a signed photograph, a replica of Michelangelo's Pieta and a copy of his remarks welcoming Kennedy back to the Vatican 30 years after accompanying his parents to the coronation of Pope Pius XII.
"Unfortunately, the Pope declined to sign this document," a U.S. Embassy staffer wrote to a White House aide. "This may diminish its souvenir value somewhat."
In 1979, Carter became the first president to welcome a pope to the White House. But it was Ronald Reagan who found in the Vatican one of his most important Cold War allies.
John Paul II, the first Polish pope, did not hesitate to challenge Moscow and preach the cause of religious freedom, a direct blow at communism.
Bush credited John Paul II with inspiring his policy restricting government funding for embryonic stem cell research. While the pope famously came out strongly against the invasion of Iraq, Nicholson notes that John Paul II lent moral authority to the war in Afghanistan.
Nicholson's first meeting fell on Sept. 13, 2001, with America — and the world — reeling from the terrorist attacks two days earlier.
"We met in his library. He was still ambulatory and came to the door to welcome me," the ambassador told Yahoo News. "It was all pretty regal for a farm boy." The two men set aside their prepared remarks.
"We sat down, said a prayer for the victims of 9/11. He was grieving as heavily as I was," Nicholson said. "He said, 'We have to stop these people who kill in the name of God.'"
"It was a real affirmative statement for us that really helped us put the coalition together in Europe to go into Afghanistan because he had lent his moral authority," he said.
Obama hopes to capture a bit of that as well. Francis might raise the issue of the Affordable Care Act's mandate to cover contraception. The pope might also express concerns about the plight of Christians across the Middle East. But the president has made clear that Francis's appeal to battle poverty and inequality resonates with him.
"I am especially looking forward to returning to the Vatican next month to meet His Holiness, Pope Francis, whose message about caring for the 'least of these' is one that I hope all of us heed," the president said at the National Prayer Breakfast one month ago. "Like Matthew, he has answered the call of Jesus, who said 'follow me,' and he inspires us with his words and deeds, his humility, his mercy and his missionary impulse to serve the cause of social justice."

Michelle Basch, wtop.com
WASHINGTON – They can be found just about anywhere on the beach: glittering jewel-like shards called sea glass.
To some they look like hunks of shiny junk, but in reality, they truly are special.
Author Richard LaMotte, a resident of Maryland's Eastern Shore, researched the origins of sea glass and wrote a book about the subject called "Pure Sea Glass." He says most sea glass comes from bottles.
"Bottle glass became disposable in the late 1800s and early 1900s, and so as these things were thrown out they would be thrown out in dumps next to bays or rivers, and they were broken into pieces. They'd be tumbled, let's say in the Chesapeake, for years. Decades. And as these get tumbled up, they actually turn into these shapes that people like to use in jewelry or other types of craft that really take a jewel-like patina and frosting to it."
The most commonly found colors are kelly green, brown and white, also described as clear.
"Red, most people think right away is the rarest color, but, by far it's orange, and the reason for that is there was never any mass produced orange bottles that people would just drink and throw away," LaMotte says.
Before an appearance earlier this year at the Calvert Marine Museum, LaMotte agreed to look at some pieces of sea glass this reporter collected through the years.
One piece is soft green, a color that was common 100 years ago. LaMotte says modern pieces of green sea glass usually come from Coca-Cola bottles. This shard doesn't have the ribs of a classic Coca-Cola bottle, so LaMotte believes it dates to about 1900 or 1910.
Another piece is cornflower blue, with raised lines on it that look like the top of a bottle where a cap screws on.
"You can see the screw-cap closure there, so that's probably a 1930s-1940s Milk of Magnesia bottle," LaMotte says.
Although LaMotte says there are some good places around the Chesapeake Bay to find sea glass, overall it's becoming harder to find. One reason is the modern transition from glass containers to plastic.
More tips for sea glass hunters:
- If you find a piece of broken bottle that's particularly thick, it probably means the glass is older.
- Another indicator that a bottle is especially old is bubbles in the glass.
- Bottles that don't have what looks like a tire tread marking on the bottom were most likely made before 1960. The tread is used to get the bottles quickly off the production line.
The Sea Glass Association offers more information on sea glass.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — The technology sector turned mostly higher on Friday, buoyed by solid gains from shares of Microsoft Corp., Netflix Inc. and chip makers, but shares of Apple Inc. again were in the red.
Here's the one other story that you can't afford to miss today
The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, +1.67% traded up 19 points, or 0.6%, to 3,150. The benchmark ended the week with a fractional gain.
The sector got a lift from Microsoft Corp. MSFT, +1.83%, shares of which recovered from a wobbly start, rising 1% to close at $27.88.
The move came after the software giant posted mostly in-line financial results for the second quarter late Thursday. The stock was among the best performers in the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +1.20%, which was up 71 points.
On the other hand, Apple AAPL, +2.36% shares continued to be volatile following the company's disappointing report issued late Wednesday. The stock traded down 2.4% to close at $439.88, after Goldman Sachs cut its price target by $100.
In a note, Goldman wrote: "The problem, and the key disappointment in the call, was that management made it pretty clear that it was moving toward providing more realistic guidance. In this case, the guidance was a definitive disappointment."
At the same time, the investment bank kept Apple on its conviction-buy list, citing "our optimism that new products in the coming months will reinvigorate new user growth, with a sticky installed base serving as a baseline for valuation support."
Also Friday, the chip sector was in rally mode with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index SOX, +2.78% gaining 1.3%, as KLA-Tencor Corp. KLAC, +3.09% saw its stock soar 8.4% to close at $56.34 after the semiconductor equipment company posted second-quarter results that beat expectations.
Fellow chip company Cirrus Logic Inc. CRUS, +3.59% saw its shares jump 10% to close at $29.42, after posting a big jump in third-quarter profit on surging sales. Cirrus Logic is a supplier to Apple and its stock took a hit after the iPhone maker report disappointed Wall Street.
But in a note, Canaccord Genuity analyst Bobby Burleson reiterated a buy rating, saying the stock "remains attractively valued, and we expect strong revenue growth in the September and December quarters on new product launches by Apple."
Netflix NFLX, +2.38% rose again, gaining 15.5% to close at $169.56. The video-streaming company surprised investors on Wednesday with better-than-expected results for the fourth quarter.
Also on the rise were shares of Juniper Networks Inc. JNPR, +2.00%, which traded up 5% to close at $22.57, after the maker of networking gear reported better-than-expected results.

Buffalo Bisons (American Hockey League) History
Home of AHL Buffalo Bisons Hockey history "before the NHL Buffalo Sabres"
For residents of Buffalo and the Niagara Frontier, hockey has become one and the same with winter, ice, skates, sticks, pucks, body checks, fights, and awesome goalie saves. Most of them have grown up cheering for modern greats like Gilbert Perreault, Pat Lafontaine and Dominik Hasek of the NHL's Buffalo Sabres. However, hockey has been around in Buffalo since the turn of the century. This website honors the men who played for those early teams: the Buffalo Bisons and Buffalo Majors hockey clubs.
The first public demonstration of an ice hockey game was on March 3, 1875 in Montreal. The game soon found its way west throughout Canada and before the end of the nineteenth century the concept had founds its way to the United States of America and across the Atlantic to Europe. As Hockey spread across the continent, there was a noticeable increase in the number of organized hockey leagues. By 1917, the National Hockey Association (NHA) was re-organized and eventually led the birth of the National Hockey League. Hockey prospered in the 1920s as the post World War I boom engulfed North America. In 1924 the NHL expanded and firmly established itself as the premier professional hockey league. A proliferation of minor leagues also sprang up. These leagues showcased young men with dreams of breaking into the big league, and tired veterans, yearning for one more chance at glory.
After many changes during its first twenty-five years of existence, the NHL started its golden age in the early 1940s. Six teams had an iron grip on the hockey talent that battled it out in the minor leagues for decades. Expansion changed hockey history forever. It brought a new era to the NHL as the number of teams doubled in the 1967-68 season to twelve. This led to a surge in minor league players finally getting a shot to play in the NHL. Many minor league leagues and teams were forced to fold, or merge into other leagues. This website is about one of those teams, the Buffalo Bisons Hockey Club.
Here is your chance to buy the extremely hard-to find and popular book: "Before the Blade; the history of Buffalo Bisons hockey." A true labor of love for the author; noted hockey historian and creator of BisonsHistory.com, Tim Warchocki spent the better part of three years researching and writing it. The book features tons of stories and biographies (some of which are featured right here on this website), hundreds of rare photos, Fort Erie and Peace Bridge history, an introduction by Mike Robitaille, player statistics from 1928-1970, 188 pages, and a high-gloss cover. Printed by RAMA Publishing in 1999. Don't wait, limited quantities remain!

I've been writing a few tools as standalone webapps for which I have written no server side code and it strikes me that I'm not sure what people call such things.
I like them because they can be distributed as a single file that anybody with a web browser can run. Typically all the funky stuff is done by calling AJAX web APIs like those provided by Stack Exchange, MediaWiki, Google, etc.
The following terms all seem plausible but might also cover other things or not tell the whole story:
- client-only
- pure JavaScript
- standalone webapp
- web script
- web tool
- browser app
Is one of these terms or something else in common use for such apps / tools?
Here's links to some of my little tools on GitHub: travel-se-airport-tags.html, travel-se-1-or-2-answers.html, travel-se-stats.html
There are some much more app-ish examples in the 10k Challenge...

There are many benefits to having digital signage installed on business premises and they work well for lots of different types of business:
Although digital signage involves a much larger initial cost than traditional paper advertising, it is far more beneficial in the long run. Digital signs attract more attention using high-quality graphics and video, meaning more customers will take notice of your chosen message. Digital signs can also be updated quickly and easily from a remote location, allowing you to change or revise them whenever necessary. This is far simpler than the time-consuming process of changing out all traditional advertising by hand.

Funny thing about crossing the country by automobile: sometimes, it is really hard to find good coffee.
And when I say "it's hard to find good coffee" I mean that sometimes you find yourself praying to the coffee gods to just send you a Starbucks. Please.
But happily, while passing through Laramie, Wyoming, I had a sweet discovery which satisfied my caffeine needs as well as my sugary desires: Coal Creek Coffee.
A coffee roaster with a few retail locations, Coal Creek not only has rich, bold coffee, but a delicious selection of sweet treats.
One of the standouts? The Raspberry pie, which was on the menu during the Valentine's day week. The berries were tart, not overly-sweetened, and bursting with flavor. The crust was the perfect rich, buttery, flaky complement, sturdy but not overwhelming. It was an exceedingly pleasant pie. I'd warrant a guess it would be even better with whipped cream or ice cream, but these toppings aren't especially friendly for traveling, so I suppose I will just have to dream about that.
Also in their bakery case? A variety of brownies, cookies, other pies, and bars. These cookies in particular seemed interesting:

In a vote that highlights the city's struggle between growth and neighborhood preservation, a key Minneapolis committee on Thursday rejected a proposal to build a six-story apartment and retail building in the Dinkytown neighborhood next to the University of Minnesota.
The project has spurred an aggressive campaign called "Save Dinkytown" to resist what some neighbors view as a threat to the small-business fabric of the neighborhood. Activists pushed their message at political conventions across the city this spring and packed the City Council's zoning and planning committee on Thursday. The full City Council will vote on it next week.
Council members expressed concerns about the potential high price of retail space in the new development and long-term implications that denser zoning would have in the area.
"If this gets rezoned, Al's could be next," said Council Member Lisa Goodman, referring to the revered hole-in-the-wall breakfast establishment Al's Breakfast, which is separated from the project by one property.
The committee rejected rezoning for the Opus Development Company's proposal 3-2, even though city staff had recommended it by pointing out that the 140-apartment building aligns with city policies to build dense projects in busy urban centers. It would also develop a plot of land, along SE. 5th Street between 13th and 14th Avenues, that is now 70 percent surface parking lots.
The vote put several property owners who were planning to sell to Opus in a bind. The Book House and the Podium, a music shop, have already moved out of Laurel Bauer's properties on 14th Avenue SE.
Bauer was scheduled to close her 81-year-old family business, House of Hanson, next Wednesday. The owners of Duffy's Pizza said they were planning to close Friday.
"It's very frustrating. … We were all led to believe that the city was behind us and behind this project," Bauer said, alluding to staff recommendations and unanimous support of the city planning commission, an influential citizen advisory board.
The decision and the preceding campaign to stop the project illustrate the fine line that city leaders must walk as they pursue more density outside of downtown, a key facet of City Hall's quest to grow Minneapolis' population.
It is also reminiscent of an effort last year to stop a mixed-use development in Linden Hills, where neighbors staged a similar campaign against an apartment-retail project.
Goodman, Cam Gordon and Meg Tuthill voted against the proposal. Gary Schiff, the chairman of the committee, and Kevin Reich voted for it.
Council Member Diane Hofstede, who represents the Dinkytown area, does not sit on the committee but spoke against the rezoning. She noted that the community should first complete a small-area plan guiding development for the neighborhood.
The Marcy-Holmes Neighborhood Association submitted a letter of support for the Dinkytown project.
Gordon said that while he was "impressed" with the development, questions remain about future implications for the neighborhood.
"I think people are looking at that four-block area [comprising Dinkytown] and they're saying, 'Well, if it's all going to get upzoned like this, and it's all going to get redeveloped like that, we're going to lose everything,' " Gordon said.
Schiff said he agreed with staff that the city wants high-density housing in "activity centers," defined as areas with bustling street life that support a range of commercial, office and residential uses. "That is what this proposal is," he said.
Too much, too soon
Resistance to the project was amplified by the sheer number of housing projects that have sprung up around Dinkytown in recent years, spurred by student housing demand.
Just across the street from the Opus proposal, more than 300 apartments are being built on the site that was once home to Marshall High School.
"Uncontrolled growth in the human body is called cancer," Gordon Kepner, a longtime resident of the area, told the committee. "I think the political body needs to think about uncontrolled growth in a very serious way. Because once it starts, there's no drug to stop it."
Developer 'disappointed'
Matt Rauenhorst, Opus senior director, said company officials are "very disappointed" in the committee decision but that they "remain hopeful" the full council will move the project forward.
"We designed the project to complement the unique character of Dinkytown," he said in a statement, "and we believe that it would put to better use the property, currently occupied primarily by surface parking lots."

Growing and caring for cranberries is similar to pecans.
Southerners know a lot about how pecans are grown, harvested and processed. These tasty nuts are included in many dishes on our Thanksgiving and Christmas tables.
Are we similarly knowledgeable about another traditional holiday food, the cranberries? These berries are grown throughout the northern part of the US with major production areas in the states of Massachusetts, New Jersey, Oregon, Washington and Wisconsin. Cranberries are available across the country in many forms.
Cranberries were first called �craneberries,� perhaps because cranes were often seen feeding on the fruit or possibly because the small, pink spring flowers look similar to the Sandhill crane. Another common name is bounce-berries, which comes from the fact that ripe fruit bounces when dropped.
Native American Indians are thought to be the first to use cranberries as food. The Native Americans probably taught the European settlers how to enjoy cranberries by cooking and adding syrup to sweeten the tart flavor. There was an ample supply of this native wetland berry, and cranberries were included as a daily addition to a meal by the late 18th century.
Cranberries are a unique fruit growing from trailing vines (like strawberries) in acid peat soil. They require plenty of fresh water and a long growing season. Growers harvest and prune the vines that can live for 150 years.
Growing cranberries is a year round job, just like growing pecans. The growers monitor the plants for soil conditions, moisture and temperatures, weeds, insects and pollination. Growers in the Pacific Northwest use integrated pest management by setting and monitoring pheromone traps. They apply beneficial nematodes for use as biological controls.
Cultural practices include sanding where a layer of sand is applied every few years to help control insects and fungi. Weeds are controlled to limit plant competition and increase production. Honeybees are brought to the field to pollinate the plants in late May or early June.
The harvesting of cranberries begins the last week in September through the first week of November. This gets the fruit on the market for the holidays. Growers harvest berries for several markets, including fresh berries, for juice and drying for Craisins. The berries that are in the cellophane packages are usually picked in dry conditions and aren�t white.
Harvesting techniques include dry harvest with a picker pruner machine and flood harvesting. Harvesting after flooding the bogs has been the traditional technique. Dry harvesting is now well established as a good method. Berries for juicing and Craisins can be picked with the newer method when the area is dry or in the rain.
Think about the growers the next time you enjoy your cranberry sauce, cranberry juice, Craisins or fresh cranberries.

And now the game where we assemble the greatest talents in the world of science, scholarship and the arts, and we make them answer questions unbecoming their exalted status. It's Not My Job. These days the words maestro, virtusoso and prodigy get thrown around pretty easily. So do the words claymation and uncoupling, but that's not my point.
PESCA: Because violinist Itzak Perlman is a maestro, a virtuoso and a prodigy. He's played for presidents and the Queen of England. But of course the culmination of a career that's taken Itzak Perlman around the world is for him to be right here, right now, with us. Itzhak Perlman welcome to WAIT WAIT...DON'T TELL ME!
ITZHAK PERLMAN: Thank you, thank you so much.
PESCA: So I always like to get into the origin story, and from what I understand, and you fill in what I don't understand, as a boy in Israel you so badly wanted to play the violin, but you were turned away from the conservatory because a three-year-old, you were too small to actually hold a violin. Does Wikipedia have any of that right?
PERLMAN: Where did you read this?
PESCA: I don't know.
PERLMAN: Well, it's actually true. No, I was - you know, I wanted play when I was three, three and a half, you know, and it was a little too early. These days it's actually not. You know, you see a lot - if you look at YouTube, you see a lot of three-year-olds playing. But at that time things were a little more normal, so...
PESCA: So there you were. You were, as a young child, you were denied, and you wanted to do it, and you were denied, and you wanted to do it. And I know you teach young children now. Do you think that there's something to, you know, crafting greatness to make the barrier to entry into a field even a little bit harder than it is now?
PERLMAN: Well, no, I mean, I don't really - I mean the teaching, I mean I enjoy teaching young kids. You know, we have a program that my wife started called the Perlman Music Program, where I teach young, promising string players. And I think that, you know, when you have the talent, it's good. You know, it's easy.
But, you know, talent is - the level right now of playing is so high, and everybody, now there are a lot of people who really play so well. So that - I don't think that's a problem. I think that's very good.
ROY BLOUNT JR.: Do you enjoy playing other instruments, banjo, something like that?
PERLMAN: No, I'm just a one-instrument player. I've been known to play a blender.
PERLMAN: But, you know, but I basically play, just play the violin.
PESCA: And what's your opinion on the electric violin?
PERLMAN: It's OK, as long as you can play it well. You know, I mean, if you play something well, I don't care what it is. I mean, I don't play - I tried. It's actually interesting. That's all I can say about it.
PERLMAN: I'm an acoustical person.
PESCA: And how often? Is this like a once-a-day, once-a-week thing that you're asked to play "The Devil Went Down to Georgia"?
PERLMAN: Well once a year, and today is the day.
PESCA: And following up on that question, if you were asked to fiddle against the devil, where you were wagering your soul, what prize would you ask for in return?
PERLMAN: A good meal at some nice restaurant, I guess.
PESCA: That's confidence, people, soul against a good meal.
PERLMAN: Yeah.
PESCA: Who would sound better, the second-best violin in the world as played by the best player or the best violin in the world as played by the second-best player?
PERLMAN: It's the other one.
PESCA: Yeah.
PERLMAN: Playing is playing. You know, they tell a very funny story about the great Jascha Heifetz. You know, he played a concert, and the lady came backstage, and she said to him Mr. Heifetz, you violin sounded so good tonight. And he picked up the violin, and he said funny, I don't hear anything.
PESCA: So when you teach a young child, even an older child, how can you tell if he or she is great or is going to be great?
PERLMAN: Well first of all, there is an innate musicality that you hear immediately, you know, and it doesn't matter the level of playing, but you can already hear that something there, that they are being affected by the music. You know, sometimes, you know, when we see tapes of people who want to come into our program, we see even the look on the face when they hear a particular harmony. That already tells you that somebody has got this musical feel.
You know, and of course the passion is very, very important, and that's really, it's something that you can't really describe. You have to sort of hear it in order to see what it is. And then of course there is the challenge of the development. You know, if you hear somebody who's 12 who's amazing, you say to yourself, you know, I hope that they've survived their gift and that they continue to be amazing when they're 18 and 19 years old. You know, that's always a problem, how you develop through these years.
PESCA: Yeah, that's actually pretty profound and inspiring, and it brings me back to the idea of a fiddle made of gold. Let's just do the math for a second. Now the density of gold is 35 times the density of wood, and a fiddle or a violin weighs about 400 grams. So a fiddle made of gold would weigh about 30 pounds. At a price of $42 per gram, right now a fiddle made of gold would be worth $588,000.
My question to you is: How much is your Stradivarius worth?
PERLMAN: More.
PESCA: And besides, you know, with a fiddle of gold, I'm going to have to be strictly playing heavy repertoire, so, you know, like Brahms and Beethoven.
JR.: Willie Nelson's guitar has got friends' autographs all over it. Do you do anything like that?
PERLMAN: No.
JR.: All right.
PERLMAN: Very funny.
JR.: OK, if you're on a desert island, and the only instrument there was a banjo?
PERLMAN: What would I do?
JR.: Yeah.
PERLMAN: I don't know. I'll try and find something to eat.
PESCA: All right, well let's play. Itzhak Perlman, let's play a game that we're calling...
CARL KASELL: You're no Hellboy.
PESCA: Sure, you may be an expert - I'm going to say you are an expert on Itzhak Perlman, but how much do you know about the actor Ron Perlman, of "Hellboy" and "Beauty and the Beast" and "Sons of Anarchy"? We're going to ask you three questions about the craggy-faced actor, answer two of them correctly, and you'll win a prize for one of our listeners, Carl's voice on their home answering machine. Carl, who is Itzhak playing for?
KASELL: Itzhak is playing for Betsy Doud of Niles, Michigan.
PESCA: All right you ready to play?
PERLMAN: OK, Betsy, let's go.
PESCA: Let's go, Betsy. Here is your first question. In addition to playing the beast, Ron Perlman is perhaps best known for playing Hellboy in the Hellboy series. Big fans of those movies can do what: A, attend Hellboy Summer Camp, where they learn to track supernatural beings; B, get a Hellboy permit from the Presbyterian church, allowing them to say the H-word without punishment; or C, get special edition Hellman's Hellboy's Mayonnaise, which is red but still tastes like mayonnaise? What do you think?
PERLMAN: Well, I'll tell you, you know, I mean if I was following what my brain tells me, I would say three because it involves the mayonnaise. However, I would take a chance on number one.
PESCA: The summer camp?
PERLMAN: Yeah.
PESCA: You are correct.
PERLMAN: Thank you.
PESCA: There is a Hellboy Summer Camp outside of Portland. So as we mentioned before, Ron Perlman is known for his distinctive face. When you Google Ron Perlman looks like, which of these is a way Google finishes the phrase for you? Ron Perlman looks like: A, Rhea Perlman; B, Donkey Kong; C, an Easter Island head?
PERLMAN: Oh my God.
PERLMAN: I can tell you Rhea Perlman is absolutely no. so we know, so it's between two and three. Can you give me the two and the three again, please?
PESCA: Do you think, or you do think that Google things, that Ron Perlman looks like Donkey Kong or an Easter Island head?
PERLMAN: Easter Island head or Donkey Kong? What's Donkey Kong?
PERLMAN: Is Donkey Kong a game?
PESCA: It's a video game with a large-faced ape.
PERLMAN: OK, that's what I'm going to say.
PESCA: You're right; it is Donkey Kong.
PESCA: I don't know, parents. I mean, wouldn't you rather have your kids know about video games from the '80s than be the world's greatest violinist?
PERLMAN: I forgot about those games. I mean, you know, I've already forgotten them. I'm now into the sugar crash or whatever you call that.
PESCA: Candy Crush, yeah. Sorry, the maestro could not play tonight; he's just exploding bananas on Level 243.
PERLMAN: I wish.
PESCA: Ron Perlman is not only an actor, he's also directed episodes of "Beauty and the Beast," and runs his own production company. How does Ron Perlman describe his directing style: A, I like to lure actors in with the beauty, then show them the beast; B, I don't like working with me. I would punch myself in the mouth if I had to take my direction; C, I honestly have no idea what I'm doing, and I'm scared. Please, don't publish this?
PERLMAN: It's probably wrong; I'll take two.
PESCA: That is correct, letter B.
PESCA: He's punch himself in the mouth. Fortunately for Ron Perlman, he looks like someone who can take a punch.
PESCA: Carl, how did Itzhak do?
KASELL: Three correct answers, so Itzhak you win for Betsy Doud, congratulations.
PESCA: You did it, Itzhak, thank you so much.
PESCA: Congratulations. I'm sure this ranks right up there with all the achievements and the presidents and the queens and the awards.
PERLMAN: Tell me, what does Betsy win? You know, I want to know. I'm so curious.
PESCA: Carl's voice on the answering machine and a free pass to Candy Crush Level 243.
PESCA: Perlman is hosting Bows & Batons, a four day music retreat at Gideon Putnam Resort in New York. Itzhak Perlman, thank you so much for joining us on WAIT WAIT...DON'T TELL ME!
PERLMAN: Thank you so much.
PESCA: In just a minute, Carl dons some Axe Body Spray in our listener limerick challenge. Call 1-888-WAIT-WAIT, to join us on air.

Busana Muslim
Even Girls Nowadays Wear Musim Fashion (Busana Muslim)
Loads of girls might be reluctant to place on Muslim have on, specifically because it is taken into account rigid, tedious, gloomy, and also hinders day-to-day functions. Properly I say we toss each one of these stereotypes out the window because it isn't correct. Muslim have on makes it possible for girls to flaunt their magnificent visual appeal and exhibit their internal elegance, all of this while not forgetting the moslem features which plays a significant section in Muslim manner. Along with the assorted collection of Muslim manner today, Muslim girls can easily match their wardrobe with their requires, design and persona. The principles of Muslim have on wouldn't hinder Muslim girls to express their creative imagination and glance trendy, rather it will instill a way of modesty such as gamis fashion (baju gamis) in Indonesia.
Firstly, considering the fact that it is Muslim have on we're speaking about right here, the clothes alone must satisfy the necessities and policies established through the religion. Be certain it thoroughly covers the human body and isn't too racy or provocative. Also recall to decide on the appropriate material; thin, see-through material is a large no-no and steer clear of apparel which have been too restricted. Materials preference is also significant for consolation. The perfect material could be a flexible, thick, yet solid cloth this kind of as silk, cotton, or viscose. Along with the suitable material and magnificent design and style, you are going to glance extremely stunning while also not forgetting the consolation component.
An additional purpose behind the recognition of modern day Muslim clothes is the fact that they're now extra quickly accessible due to the net. Now that it is feasible to order clothes by way of on the internet shops, people don't have to tell their buddies and relatives back dwelling to send outfits which are distinctly Islamic. Due to the fact these commodities are quite well-known, the range of possibilities accessible by way of these portals is also wide. The truth is some on the internet shops have categorized their goods into handy segments in order that it is easy for purchasers to pick what they specifically want.
The preference of clothing should also suit it really is purpose. For comforting use in your own home, find a little something simple and light. Alternatively, festive occasions this kind of as parties might be paired with extra crowded and luxurious types coupled with a handful of accessories here and there. To the extra formal function setting, pick softer colours to infuse a sense of elegance. But naturally, colours are significant. Various colours would send out distinct messages and affect the entire clothing package. An frequently misconception is definitely an outlook that states Muslim fashion only includes primary and dark colours this kind of as black, brown or dark blue. Properly I must say that this is often outdated, will not hesitate to combine and match vibrant colours and also experiment about the contrast from the hijab to the clothing. To the hijab, there are plenty of many forms today which will be utilised to boost your beauty and complements your clothing.
All in all, Muslim fashion is just not in any way uninteresting and is a fantastic method to express yourself while also sticking true to your identity and religion.

There is a problem that is affecting 80 percent of Americans. It takes over your body from the inside out, and you don't even know you have it until it is too late.
I am seeing it in more and more of my patients, so I am realizing it is a much more common problem than I previously thought. In my opinion, it is the biggest health problem in the last 50 years and is behind the soaring rates of diabetes, cancer and obesity.
Many people continually suffer from seemingly unrelated symptoms that are resistant to standard treatment. The symptoms may seem to have multiple causes but can all result from a parasite that stays hidden from view and is usually overlooked by most doctors.
It is a disruption in the normal balance between healthy bacteria in the gut, resulting in an overgrowth of yeast, a harmful fungus, first overgrowing in the gut and then spreading to the body in general, causing serious medical problems.
Yeast overgrowth is primarily caused by high blood sugar levels, antibiotics, birth control, excessive estrogen levels and steroid drugs. Yeast causes cravings of processed foods containing sugar, breads and starches that feed it. The biggest culprit put into almost all processed foods is sugar, and it is as addictive as cocaine.
The possible symptoms come on gradually and can include chronic fatigue, lack of energy, inability to lose weight, cancer, low sex drive, skin problems, psoriasis, eczema, toenail fungus, yeast infections, bladder infections, menstrual problems, thyroid dysfunction, digestive problems, bowel pain or cramping, irritable bowel, gas and bloating, rectal itching, diarrhea or constipation, headaches, food and chemical sensitivities, allergies, muscle and joint pains, depression, irritability, memory problems, lack of sleep, inability to concentrate and more.
Yeast overgrowth is hard to overcome. Medications that can be used are generally toxic to the liver, and if the causes of the overgrowth are not addressed, the yeast can come right back.
To kill the yeast, I recommend a holistic, natural approach, which can change your life. Don't take antibiotics, steroids or hormones unless absolutely necessary. Eliminate foods that feed yeast and seek help from a practitioner that has an effective yeast elimination program that takes the whole body into account.
The entire body will need to be helped to overcome this parasite.

About Plains Cree
Plains Cree is one of the Algonquian languages of Canada, in the same family as Ojibwe and Mi'kmaq. It is spoken primarily in Alberta and Saskatchewan, but also some in Manitoba and Montana. Depending on the community, age of the speaker, and other factors, Plains Cree is written using either a Roman script or a syllabic script.
About This Translation
This is an ongoing translation which is still under review. The draft was translated by Rev. Dr. Stanley Cuthand, and is being reviewed by a group of Cree speakers based in Saskatoon. So far only the books of Ruth and Mark, and a collection of Psalms, have been published. The book of James is expected to be published by the end of 2014. If you are interested in obtaining a printed copy of these books, please contact the Canadian Bible Society at http://www.biblescanada.com.

Ancient Mexican Temple Precinct Housed Specialized Priesthood main content.
by AMNH on
Excavations at Mexico's Valley of Oaxaca have recovered the region's earliest known temple precinct, which, according to a new study by the American Museum of Natural History, existed about 1,500 years earlier than similar temples described by colonial Europeans. Archaeological investigations during the past 20 years suggest that the temple precinct was staffed by a specialized priesthood. The findings are described this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Museum research associate Elsa Redmond and curator Charles Spencer, both in the Division of Anthropology, led the excavations at the archaeological site known as El Palenque. The data document a 300-100 BC walled enclosure that included three multi-room temples and two priests' residences.
Perforating tools, along with animal and human remains in a room with hearths, suggest that the officiating priests performed bloodletting rituals, animal sacrifices, and possibly human sacrificial rituals. Cooking and producing cloth for priests were likely carried out in a specialized facility. A masonry-lined vaulted tunnel was found leading to the public plaza, which Redmond and Spencer suggest might have been used by priests and other individuals to secretly access the plaza on special ceremonial occasions.
Together with a royal palace, previously discovered at the site and reported in 2004, the buildings and artifacts suggest that the pre-Columbian people of Oaxaca had developed an intricate political and religious hierarchy during this time.

Fifth Third Ballpark, home to the Detroit Tigers' A-ball affiliate the West Michigan Whitecaps, is on fire.
The stadium was built twenty years ago just outside Grand Rapids. Local NBC affiliate WOOD is reporting firefighters pulled back after hearing explosions, perhaps propane tanks in the concession areas, and that the right field stands are in danger of collapse.
Follow the fire on WOOD's livestream here.
Fifth Third Ballpark was just renovated last year, and according to WOOD the portion on fire includes the brand-new luxury boxes just installed. Fifth Third Ballpark is scheduled to host the Midwest League All-Star game this upcoming season.
Update (12:42 p.m.): WOOD says the sprinkler system failed, possibly because it was drained or shut off for the offseason. That would make sense, because pipes full of water outside don't fare too well in a Michigan winter.
Update (1:09 p.m.): Here's some video from inside the ballpark, again from WOOD:

The High Cost of Avoiding Conflict at Work
As More Companies Seek Feisty Leaders, An Eagerness to Please Could Kill Your Career
It's time to kill a common myth: Executives who avoid workplace conflicts get ahead. Instead, their advancement often stalls.
A well-liked senior vice president at a big health-care company lost a key promotion and left in 2012 because he never disagreed with colleagues during meetings. The man's failure to manage conflict derailed his career, recalls David Dotlich, a leadership and succession coach. His research has identified "eagerness to please" as one of the top reasons that executives fail....

JACKSONVILLE - Chad Henne is getting another shot at starting in the NFL.
How well he performs could determine whether Blaine Gabbert gets one, too.
The Jacksonville Jaguars named Henne their starting quarterback for Sunday's game against Tennessee, the latest change for a team desperate to snap a seven-game losing streak.
Coach Mike Mularkey made the announcement Monday, a day after Henne threw for 354 yards and four touchdowns in a 43-37 overtime loss at Houston.
Mularkey pinned the decision on Henne's performance - not Gabbert's injury.
"We're trying to find a way to produce and win," said Mularkey, who has made other lineup changes at running back, receiver, left guard and nose tackle in recent weeks. "We're just trying to find ways to see if we can be more productive that's all. It's no different."
Gabbert hurt his right forearm early in the game and had trouble gripping the ball.
Henne replaced him in the first quarter and completed 16 of 33 passes. He connected with Cecil Shorts III on a 67-yard touchdown and later hooked up with Justin Blackmon for an 81-yard score. He also found tight end Marcedes Lewis for two TDs in the red zone.
"He's been a starter in the league. He's had some success at that position," Mularkey said. "He was brought in here in case something happened to Blaine, to step in there and produce, which he did. He prepares like he's a starter every week.
"That's the one thing about him. He has been as much of a help for Blaine's progress as anybody. He prepares every week just like he's going to play every down. He doesn't get all the reps, but he watches a lot of film. He's taught our young guys how to watch film and actually understand what they're watching and what they're looking for. It just showed up on the tape yesterday."
Mularkey said Gabbert is questionable against the Titans (4-6).
If Gabbert can't play, the Jaguars (1-9) will promote John Parker Wilson from the practice squad to serve as Henne's backup.
"Blaine's injury is still up in the air," Mularkey said. "It's still questionable about the strength in that hand. I'd be cautious to say that he has a chance to play this week."
Henne also replaced an injured Gabbert against Indianapolis on Nov. 8 and completed 10 of 16 passes for 121 yards, with a touchdown and an interception. The Jaguars signed Henne to a two-year, $6.75 million contract in March, bringing the former Miami Dolphins starter in to be Gabbert's backup.
Jacksonville traded up to draft Gabbert with the 10th overall pick last year. The former Missouri standout struggled as a rookie and showed signs of progress earlier this year. But he clearly took a step back against the Colts, lacking pocket presence, rushing throws and missing open receivers.
Given that Jacksonville likely will have a high pick in the 2012 draft, it's imperative that the team figure out whether Gabbert is its franchise quarterback.
Gabbert has completed 53.8 percent of his passes in two seasons - 24 starts - for 3,876 yards, with 21 touchdowns and 17 interceptions. He has been sacked 62 times.
Henne's play against the Texans surely didn't help Gabbert's case.
With Henne in the huddle, first-round draft pick Justin Blackmon had seven receptions for 236 yards after being relatively quiet in the first nine games. Shorts caught three passes for 81 yards. And the 6-foot-6 Lewis, who had been relegated to blocking duties in recent weeks, became a top target near the goal line.
Mularkey expects Gabbert to handle the change well.
"I still think he's progressed," Mularkey said. "Blaine will handle it just like he has. I don't know if you saw it, but on the sidelines the No. 1 guy out on the field every time there was something positive happening was Blaine. He is totally into this thing, and this is no different."
