|A veritable ceramic cornucopia of work which will provide diversity and contrast. Sam Hall who lives and works in St Ives is a ceramicist whom we have wanted to show in the gallery for a long time. This will be entirely new work as he has not exhibited over the last year. Sam's pots have great presence and we know that they will make a strong visual impact in the gallery and upon our visitors. Tim Andrews needs no introduction his work has been in our gallery since the early days. He is at the top of his powers as one of the country's leading raku potters. Some of his most recent work is stunningly original and we know that his selected group of pots for this show will not disappoint.

Nexus 7 buyers who opt for the 16GB model are paying a premium for all that storage.
IHS iSuppli, a hardware research and market analysis firm, performed a cost breakdown of the components inside the Google Nexus 7.
According to their analysis, the entry-level Nexus 7 has a $151.75 bill of materials (BOM) and costs $7.50 to manufacture. The unit's IPS display and touchscreen are the Nexus 7's most expensive components at $38 and $24, respectively. Other big-ticket items include the Nvidia Tegra 3 processor at $21 and the battery at $12.75.
Then there's the memory. According to IHS iSuppli, the base-model Nexus 7's 1GB of RAM and 8GB of flash memory cost just $13.50. The top-end Nexus 7's 1GB of RAM and 16GB of flash memory cost $21. Therefore, the extra 8GB of storage is worth $7.50.
Given that buyers pay an additional $50 for the 16GB Nexus 7, Google earns a $42.50 premium on the additional storage.
Of course, Google isn't the only company to use extra storage capacity as a way to boost their bottom line. A similar analysis of the 2012 iPad revealed that Apple charges and even higher premium for its high-end tablets.

CFOT effort hits high gear
Everyone enjoys receiving a gift at Christmas, especially those fighting for our country.
Christmas for OUR Troops — a program started in 2004 — is aimed at making sure troops receive packages during the Christmas season.
Debbie Burrow, Big Spring area coordinator for Christmas for OUR Troops, said the goal for this year is 2,500 boxes. In 2004, five boxes were packaged and shipped after Scott Davis and USAF Captain Steven Givler became friends and sprouted the idea.
"The program works off of donated items, which are then packed and mailed out to troops in Iraq and Afghanistan," Burrow said.
In order to fill the 2,500 boxes, community support is needed, in more ways than one. Burrow said the first thing the community is asked to do is submit the names and APO addresses of any military personnel who will be deployed during this year's Christmas season. Secondly, the community is asked to donate the items needed to fill these packages, along with spreading the word.

Changes in elasticity and structures of red blood cells (RBCs) are important indicators of disease, and this makes them interesting for medical studies. In forensics, blood analyses represent a crucial part of crime scene investigations. For these reasons, the recovery and analysis of blood cells from ancient tissues is of major interest. In this study, we show that RBCs were preserved in Iceman tissue samples for more than 5000 years. The morphological and molecular composition of the blood corpuscle is verified by atomic force microscope and Raman spectroscopy measurements. The cell size and shape approximated those of healthy, dried, recent RBCs. Raman spectra of the ancient corpuscle revealed bands that are characteristic of haemoglobin. Additional vibrational modes typical for other proteinaceous fragments, possibly fibrin, suggested the formation of a blood clot. The band intensities, however, were approximately an order of magnitude weaker than those of recent RBCs. This fact points to a decrease in the RBC-specific metalloprotein haemoglobin and, thus, to a degradation of the cells. Together, the results show the preservation of RBCs in the 5000 year old mummy tissue and give the first insights into their degradation.
1. Introduction
Examining mummies with sensitive analytic tools enables the reconstruction of their ancestry and genetic relationships [1,2], diet, diseases [2], living conditions, state of preservation and the mummification processes [3]. While many studies provided molecular evidence for the presence of infectious diseases in ancient populations, leading to deep insights into the evolution of such diseases [4,5], only a few reports on the recovery of blood from mummified bodies are available. Previous investigations, based on optical or electron microscopy data, postulated that blood remains or fragments could be preserved in mummies as old as 2000 years [6–10]. Although molecular verification of blood findings was not performed, detection of blood components was of major interest because it could give new perspectives on the lives and fates of our ancestors. Blood can indicate the general health status of an individual and it can be analysed to detect pathological conditions or to provide valuable information in forensic crime scene investigations.
One of the oldest forensic puzzles encompasses the death of the Tyrolean Iceman. This wet-mummy, commonly known as 'Ötzi', was presumably killed by an arrow. The corpse was found ca 5300 years later [11] in 1991 [12]. The mummy was exceptionally well preserved, and it still had intact connective tissue [13,14] and nervous system components [13]. However, in contrast to the good overall preservation of its tissue, no blood has been found so far. Thus, it was initially assumed that the blood had disintegrated owing to autolysis within the corpse [13]. Later, X-ray and computed tomography images of the Iceman body gave the first hints of blood residues. A prehistoric arrowhead that was surrounded by inhomogeneous soft-tissue areas was located between the rib cage and the left scapula. The areas were interpreted as being dehydrated haematomas [15,16] and associated with a lesion in the left subclavian artery that could have led to haemorrhagic shock and the Iceman's death [17]. Haemoglobin, a common blood protein, was detected in a skin wound on the Iceman's right hand using a guaiac-based test. However, it did not provide evidence for intact blood cells [18]. Recently, a microscopic analysis of immunochemically stained histological tissue samples indicated the possible presence of blood residues [19].
Here, we report the direct detection of red blood cells (RBCs) in tissue samples from the Iceman with an atomic force microscope (AFM) and Raman spectroscopy. Single and clustered RBCs were found, and their characteristic Raman spectra were obtained. The spectra contained Raman bands of proteinaceous remnants, most likely fibrin, which indicates the formation of a blood clot. The Raman spectra, however, also document a degradation of the cells. Their spectral intensity was approximately an order of magnitude weaker than that of recent RBCs. Additional elasticity measurements on the cells imply a loss in RBC stability—which also points to degradation.
2. Material and methods
Iceman tissue was obtained by punch biopsies from the stab trauma to the right hand (sample A) [18] and from the wound under the left spina scapulae on the Iceman's back (sample B) [15]. The extracted tissue was rehydrated for 48 h in a 9.5 parts formaldehyde (2%) and 0.5 parts Brij 35 solution, and subsequently fixed with 4 per cent formaldehyde (formalin) for 2 h, dehydrated in an ascending alcohol series and embedded into paraffin wax. Histological specimens were obtained by cutting 2–4 µm thick transverse sections and transferring them onto glass slides. Before AFM analysis, the paraffin was dissolved in xylene. Finally, the sections were rehydrated with a descending alcohol series, rinsed with ultrapure water and dried under ambient conditions [14]. As a reference, a recent human tissue sample, taken from a volunteer and processed in the same manner as the Iceman samples, was used. Additionally, fresh capillary whole blood was drawn from the fingertip of a volunteer, applied to a glass slide and left to dry for 6 h. Furthermore, a glass slide was coated with a meshwork of fibrin, an essential protein formed during the blood clotting process. The preparation of fibrin was carried out following the protocol of Riedel et al. [20].
Particles with the approximate size and shape of RBCs were identified with an inverted optical microscope (Axiovert 135; Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany). Then, high-resolution images were taken with a NanoWizard-II AFM (JPK Instruments, Berlin, Germany). The AFM was operated in the intermittent contact mode. Silicon cantilevers (BS Tap 300; Budget Sensors, Redding, CA, USA) with nominal spring constants of 40 N m–1, resonance frequencies of 300 kHz and tip radii of 10 nm were used.
Additionally, within the fixed samples, individual putative RBCs were analysed by AFM nanoindentation so as to assess elasticity. Force curves of recent (n = 363) and mummified (n = 213) samples were obtained by indenting an AFM tip with a defined radius of 300 nm (LRCH 250; Team Nanotec, Villingen-Schwenningen, Germany) into the corpuscle surface. The nominal spring constant, kc, of the cantilever was 40 N m–1, and the loading force for each measurement was limited to 500 nN. Four recent RBCs and two corpuscles extracted from the arrowhead entry wound on the back of the mummy (sample B) were tested. Only (putative) RBCs that were lying flat on the glass substrate were analysed to ensure good mechanical contact with the substrate. The numerical value for Young's modulus E was obtained from fitting a Hertzian model [21] on the force curves. Sneddon's extension [22,23] of the Hertzian model was used to calculate the deformation δ of the flat elastic sample surface penetrated by a rigid spherical indenter (AFM tip) of radius R. The spherical indenter geometry was assumed because the indentation depth of the AFM tip into the sample was small compared with the tip radius. The samples' Young's modulus was calculated from 2.1with the sample deformation given by 2.2with F the applied force, a the radius of the contact area between the tip and the sample, and ν the Poisson ratio of the material analysed. The Poisson ratio was set to 0.5, assuming an incompressible material.
For the molecular analysis, a confocal Raman spectroscope (WITec alpha 300 R; WITec GmbH, Ulm, Germany; excitation wavelength 532 nm) was used. To avoid photodegradation, laser power was limited to 1.0 mW. The spectrometer was operated with an 1800 g mm–1 grating. The spectral resolution was 1 cm−1 per CCD-pixel. Three different positions were analysed for each sample, and at least three single spectra, with 180 s of integration time, were taken at each position. Owing to the confocal set-up of the microscope, Raman spectra were collected from a sample area with 300 nm diameter and a focal depth of approximately 1 µm.
3. Results
One corpuscle with a structure likely to be a RBC [24] was found in the hand wound tissue of the Iceman (figure 1d), and two single corpuscles were detected within the arrowhead wound sample. Sample B furthermore showed an agglomeration of several randomly distributed particles (figure 1f). The selected corpuscles exhibit a discoidal, concave surface with a diameter between 5.8 and 6.4 µm (figure 1d,e). The concave shape is typical for RBCs and arises during the early stages of development in the bone marrow when the cell nuclei are discarded, leaving behind an impression on the membrane. The dip in the membrane of the corpuscle was 0.7–1.1 µm deep. For comparison, RBCs from a recent human tissue sample, similar in structure and appearance to those found in the Iceman samples, are shown in figure 1a–c. The mean cell diameter of the recent RBCs was 6.3 ± 0.4 µm, which matches the average diameter of the ancient corpuscle. The cells are also similar when comparing the mean area and volume of the RBCs (table 1). The measured height of the recent cells and of the mummy particles differ more; however, the variation is still within the error margin.
To assess the chemical composition and structural conformation of the ancient corpuscles, Raman measurements were performed. The spectral fingerprint region of the particle in Iceman sample A was compared with that of an air-dried recent whole blood sample and with that of recent single RBCs. The recent single RBCs were subjected to the same sample preparation as that of the mummy tissue before examination. All Raman spectra shown in figure 2 exhibit distinct bands at 1586, 1395, 1308 and 747 cm−1, which are assigned to the stretching vibration modes ν37, ν20/ν29, ν21 and ν15 of porphyrin. Porphyrin is the characteristic building unit of the major RBC protein haemoglobin [25–27]. Furthermore, bands that are typical for other protein components, such as the twisting deformation mode of methylene at approximately 1230 cm−1, were present. The spectrum of Iceman sample A additionally shows two small peaks at approximately 1665 and 1248 cm−1 and two prominent bands at 1446 and 1002 cm−1. The latter are assigned to the proteinaceous deformation vibration of methyl δ(CH3) and methylene δ(CH2) molecules and to the vibration mode of phenylalanine [14,28]. The two small peaks at 1665 and 1248 cm−1 are assigned to the amide I (C=O stretching) and the amide III (C−N stretching and N−H in plane deformation modes) groups [29]. A detailed band assignment is shown in table 2. Comparing the intensities of the spectra, a strong decrease in scattering efficiency can be observed for the ancient particle. The intensity of the Raman spectrum of Iceman sample A is approximately an order of magnitude weaker than that of the recent blood samples, although the ratio between the band intensities within the spectrum remained largely unchanged.
When the fingerprint region from 700 to 1720 cm−1 in the particles found in Iceman sample B was analysed, hardly any Raman bands indicated the presence of RBCs (figure 3). A characteristic spectrum of the corpuscles in sample B is shown in figure 3c. The first strong Raman band observed is the amide I peak at approximately 1656 cm−1, corresponding to the C=O stretching vibration ν(CO) typical for proteins. Further prominent bands appear between 1620 and 1600 cm−1, originating from the C=C vibrational stretch mode ν(CC) of the amino acids tyrosine or phenylalanine. Similar to Iceman sample A the corpuscles in sample B feature strong methyl δ(CH3) and methylene δ(CH2) bands at approximately 1449 cm−1 and a distinct peak at 1002 cm−1, which represents the vibration mode of phenylalanine. There were also bands assigned to the deformation of methylene δ(CH2) molecules between 1380 and 1300 cm−1 [30,31]. Finally, the peak appearing at approximately 758 cm−1 can be attributed to the aromatic ring breathing of tryptophan [30]. As shown in figure 3, the Raman bands observed in Iceman sample B (figure 3c) exhibit similarities to those observed when examining pure fibrin (figure 3b). The intensities of the spectra were largely similar; however, the amount of sample material analysed has to be taken into account. The reference fibrin spectrum was obtained from a thin fibrin layer a few hundred nanometres thick, and the average particle spectrum shown in figure 3c was recorded on a 2 µm thick particle. Table 3 also indicates that Raman bands from sample B imply the presence of fibrin instead of RBCs. Nonetheless, some correlations between porphyrin vibration modes and the location of the ancient particles can be drawn from two-dimensional Raman scans. The data displayed in figure 4a associate the colour-coded Rayleigh scattering intensity of a Raman scan to an AFM topography image. Figure 4b–g shows the Raman data filtered for selected molecule vibrations. Red indicates sample regions with strong Raman scattering. Areas with low intensity are in blue. Specific molecule vibrations are predominant in areas that correlate with the position of the ancient particles. Figure 4c,e,f illustrates the intensity distribution around the bands at 1586, 1395 and 1308 cm−1, which are associated with the porphyrin vibration modes ν37, ν20/ν29 and ν21. In the wavenumber range 1370–1410 cm−1, no Raman scattering occurred (figure 4e). The molecule vibrations ν37 and ν21, however, show a moderate signal at the position of the ancient particles. The highest Raman signals are observed in the wavenumber range of the protein-specific bands, e.g. the amide I peak around 1656 cm−1 (figure 4b), the methyl δ(CH3) and methylene δ(CH2) band at approximately 1449 cm−1 (figure 4d) and the C–N stretch mode around 1125 cm−1 (figure 4g).
An analysis of the mechanical properties of RBCs can give further insights into their structural integrity. In the circulatory and cardiovascular system, they are subject to deformation owing to varying flow conditions. To withstand wear, the cells feature an elastic discoidal membrane. This structure, constituting a minimum energy configuration [32], and the dynamic remodelling of their spectrin cytoskeleton [33], enables them to pass through thin capillaries and reach tissues. Because changes in the mechanical properties of RBCs are an indicator of disease and can provide an insight into their molecular preservation, nanoindentation measurements were carried out to assess the elasticity of the fixed, ancient corpuscles. A histogram with Young's modulus of the mummy corpuscles (grey) and the reference RBCs (black) is shown in figure 5. By way of illustration, a Lorentzian distribution is additionally fitted. For the fixed mummy samples, a mean Young's modulus of 2.0 ± 1.0 GPa with a distribution maximum of 1.7 GPa was determined. The measurements conducted on fixed, recent RBCs yielded a mean value of 2.5 ± 1.2 GPa, and the distribution maximum was 2.3 GPa. The difference between the mean Young's moduli is statistically significant and was analysed with the independent two-sample Student's t-test.
4. Discussion
To study the presence of human RBCs in the tissue of the 5300 year old Iceman, tissue samples extracted from two Iceman wounds were examined. Performing AFM measurements, isolated single corpuscles with the approximate size and shape of normal RBCs were identified in Iceman samples A and B. The corpuscles featured a discoidal and concave shape, which is typical for RBCs, and their morphology did not demonstrate any evidence of degradation, damage or disorder. Moreover, the dimensions of these ancient corpuscles matched those of the similarly prepared reference RBCs. Additionally, a cluster of several randomly agglomerated particles was revealed in sample B. In this sample, all particles greater than approximately 5 µm showed artificial interfaces, which are presumably cutting edges that arose from the preparation of the histological specimens, i.e. slicing of the tissue with a microtome. Apart from these sectioned areas, the particles showed typical RBC morphology. These first results indicate that RBCs have been preserved for more than 5000 years in the wound tissue of the mummy.
To further confirm the presence of RBCs, Raman spectra were taken from the Iceman samples and compared with reference whole blood and reference RBC spectra. The stretching vibration modes ν37, ν20/ν29, ν21 and ν15, which are characteristic of haemoglobin [25–27], dominated the spectrum of the corpuscle in Iceman sample A. This suggested that the ancient particle is a RBC. However, the scattering intensity of the ancient spectrum was approximately an order of magnitude weaker than that of the recent blood samples. The intensity I of a Raman band depends on 4.1where N is the number of scattering molecules within a sample, I0 is the intensity of the excitation laser, ∂α/∂q is the change in polarizability of the exited molecules and f is the frequency of the excitation laser. Because the intensity and the frequency of the laser were kept constant during the measurements, and because the bands in the ancient particle spectrum can be clearly assigned to molecule vibrations with defined polarizability, the change in the scattering intensity was most probably caused by the reduced number of scattering molecules within the ancient particle. This fact indicates decomposition of the Iceman RBC, in association with the degradation of the majority of the RBC-specific haem compounds and hence the reduction in scattering molecules. RBC degradation is mainly caused by the action of reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide radicals that are released during the autoxidation of oxygen-loaded haemoglobin (oxyHb) [34]. During the dismutation of superoxide, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) can also be generated [35]. Both ROS cause oxidative stress within the RBC, which eventually leads to the decomposition of proteins due to fragmentation of their peptide chains. The effectiveness of ROS is governed by the oxyHb autoxidation rate of approximately 0.5–3% per day [35,36] and the vast amount of molecular oxygen that can be bound within a single RBC. Besides the action of ROS, damage of the RBC can also be induced by freezing and thawing, as observed in cryopreservation procedures. Thereby RBC injury can be attributed to events such as intracellular and extracellular ice formation, excessive cell shrinkage, osmotic stress or dehydration [37]. Such mechanisms affect the RBC on the macroscopic scale but have less influence on the microscopic scale, i.e. the protein content and the molecular composition.
The ancient RBC spectrum also showed bands at 1665, 1446, 1248 and 1002 cm−1. These were assigned to the amide I band typical for proteins, the deformation vibration of methyl δ(CH3) and methylene δ(CH2), the amide III band that represents peptide bonds and the vibration mode of phenylalanine. All these bands are common in proteins such as collagen or fibrin [30,31,38,39], and the amide III band is also occasionally observed in the spectra of air-dried RBCs and met-RBCs, as discussed by Asghari-Khiavi et al. [25]. Compared with reference protein spectra and those of the particle found in Iceman sample B (figure 3), the protein band at 1665 cm−1 is very faint in the ancient RBC spectrum, whereas the other protein bands are more pronounced. Thus, the Raman spectrum of Iceman sample A is a complex composition of haemoglobin and other protein spectra.
In summary, the altered spectral signature and intensity in comparison with data of recent RBCs were most probably caused by a modification of the haemoglobin and, consequently, the porphyrin. The proteinaceous compounds may have been less strongly affected. Some molecule vibrations could have also been impaired by the effect of blood clotting and the formation of proteins such as fibrin.
Changes in molecular structure owing to protein compounds are even more evident in the corpuscle from Iceman sample B. Although the corpuscle morphology resembles the structure of regular RBCs, the Raman spectra significantly differed from the reference RBC spectra. The corpuscles mostly lacked the previously mentioned porphyrin modes and predominantly showed bands characteristic of fibrin or other proteins such as collagen (see the electronic supplementary material). Fibrin is the end product of a complex cascade of coagulation reactions that are initiated at the moment of vascular injury. In the first step, platelets become activated and then become adherent to the damaged vessel wall. They form a primary haemostatic plug. Meanwhile, the enzyme thrombin is produced. Thrombin then cleaves fibrinogen and catalyses the polymerization of fibrin, which subsequently generates a meshwork around the platelet plug and reinforces it [20,40]. The Raman spectra and AFM images thus indicate that the single particles and the agglomerate of corpuscles in the tissue of sample B are the remnants of a haemostatic plug that formed around the Iceman's arrowhead wound. Nonetheless, it is surprising that, although the Raman spectra of the Iceman's RBCs are dominated by bands characteristic for fibrin, neither a meshwork nor single fibrin fibrils were detected in our AFM images. We therefore infer that the fibrin surrounding the haemostatic clot decomposed over time, leaving behind only RBCs and possibly some fibrin fragments.
Although our results show more complex RBC spectra, they are in agreement with measurements on recent dried human blood spots conducted by Virkler et al. [41], who showed that dried whole blood is chemically heterogeneous, and its Raman spectrum could be a linear combination composed mainly of the two Raman active components: haemoglobin and fibrin. The clotting process that occurs while blood dries explains the spectral combination. One hypothesis was that fibrin was formed during the clotting, and that it was therefore found in a large concentration in the dried blood spots.
Finally, when analysing the Raman spectra of the pre-processed tissue, the effect of the sample preparation must be taken into account. The ancient and the recent RBC samples were processed into histological sections, i.e. the tissue was fixed with formaldehyde, embedded into paraffin and cut with a microtome. The paraffin was then dissolved with xylene, and the sample was subsequently rehydrated in a descending alcohol series. The dehydration effects of alcohol were found to cause degradation of RBCs because it weakens the membrane–water interactions of the cell membrane [42]. This can lead to the loss of some cellular components and can therefore cause changes in the Raman spectra. Dehydration and the effect of fixatives, such as formaldehyde and glutaraldehyde, on RBC Raman spectra were also reported by Asghari-Khiavi et al. [25]. In their study, they showed that the Raman spectra of RBCs, which were fixed in a formaldehyde–glutaraldehyde mixture and embedded into paraffin, were very similar to the spectra of air-dried RBCs. This indicates that the processing of dried RBCs into histological tissue sections does not cause additional alterations of the RBC Raman spectra. Furthermore, because the reference RBCs and Iceman samples were processed equally, preparation-induced differences are rather unlikely. Therefore, we conclude that the processing of the tissue had little influence on the comparative spectroscopic examination.
Deformation and failure phenomena of hierarchical protein materials are observed in physiologically extreme conditions and in the progression of disease [43]. The structural proteins and thus the shape, molecular structure and the elasticity of RBCs are also prone to disease-specific alterations [44]. Reduced mechanical deformability, together with increased RBC membrane stiffness, are reported in infection with the malaria parasite [45–47]. A similar phenotype appears in blood disorders such as sickle-cell disease, hereditary elliptocytosis or hereditary spherocytosis, in which the deformability of the RBC membrane is reduced and the cell shape is strongly altered [47–49]. Owing to the pre-processing of the tissue samples, however, we cannot draw conclusions on any disease-specific mechanical changes of the RBCs. Nevertheless, a relative comparison between equally processed recent and mummy RBCs helps us to assess the degree of tissue preservation. AFM nanoindentation measurements revealed changes in the mechanical behaviour of the RBCs. Young's modulus of the ancient RBCs in sample B was 2.0 ± 1.0 GPa, whereas the modulus of the equally processed recent RBCs averaged 2.5 ± 1.2 GPa.
Cross-linking owing to fixation with formaldehyde [50], age [51] or disease-specific influences would lead to an increased membrane stiffness of RBCs and, thus, to an increase in Young's modulus. Our measurements on ancient RBCs, however, show a decrease in Young's modulus associated with a lower stiffness of the ancient RBCs. Together with the reduced Raman scattering intensity, the softening indicates a degradation of the RBCs. Possible degradation processes include scaffold damage due to crystallization of ice during freezing, irradiation with UV light or wound healing-specific transformation processes that occur during the stages of blood clot degradation [52].
The fragmentation of the RBC cytoskeleton proteins such as the spectrin and actin filaments will cause a destabilization of the cell membrane. In addition to the aforementioned mechanisms, cleavage of membrane proteins and degradation of the cytoskeleton by the fragmentation of their protein peptide chains can also be induced by the action of ROS. The various degradation processes would ultimately lead to the softening of the RBC membrane.
The elasticity values determined are given for fixed recent and ancient RBCs, which were prepared following the same protocol. Obviously, the preparation comprises the mechanical properties of a tissue by the formation of methylene bridges that cross-link polypeptide chains. Thus, no conclusions on health status can be drawn from the elasticity measurements. However, comparing the elasticity values of both specimens, it is clear that the ancient samples were softer. This is in line with the observation that less Raman scattering occurred in the ancient RBCs. Both effects can be explained by a degradation of the proteinaceous content of the RBCs.
In summary, the morphology and the Raman fingerprint of some corpuscles point to remnants of a haemostatic clot. This observation confirms that the Iceman sustained several injuries before his death. AFM imaging revealed RBCs with normal morphology. Blood disorders caused by RBC membrane defects, such as sickle-cell disease, elliptocytosis or spherocytosis, can thus be excluded. Nanoindentation measurements show that the elasticity of the ancient RBCs is slightly reduced, which suggests that they suffered from degradation. Complementary Raman spectroscopy also indicates a degradation of the blood cells. Nevertheless, our examinations show an unambiguous identification of RBCs in a 5300 year old mummy.

2014 Honda Accord Hybrid Details Announced
- Expected 49 mpg city fuel economy rating
- Gasoline, all-electric and hybrid drive modes
- Available October 2013
The 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid is expected to achieve a city fuel economy rating of 49 miles per gallon, according to the automaker. The latest Accord Hybrid, which uses a 4-cylinder gasoline engine along with two electric motors, is capable of running in three different modes: electric-only, gasoline-only and hybrid, which blends electric and gasoline power. The new model includes design details unique to the hybrid and arrives at Honda dealers in October of this year.
Like other popular gas-electric hybrids, the new Accord uses its electric power and batteries to improve fuel efficiency, especially in city driving. A 49-mpg city rating represents a huge 80 percent increase in comparison to the thriftiest conventionally powered Accord, which has a fuel economy rating of 27 mpg city. Official Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) fuel economy ratings for the Accord Hybrid are not yet available, but Honda expects a rating of 45 mpg highway and 47 mpg combined.
Fuel economy for the conventional, gas-powered Accord varies depending on engine and transmission choice, but highway and combined fuel economy tops out at 36 mpg and 30 mpg, respectively.
At low speeds and with enough energy reserves in its battery pack, the 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid can operate in electric-only mode. The gasoline motor does not run -- and uses no gasoline -- in that mode. At higher speeds, the Accord Hybrid's 2-liter 4-cylinder engine exclusively powers the car. Finally, both the gas and electric motors provide power in hybrid mode, which is used in acceleration and stop-and-go traffic. Drivers can monitor the flow of energy from the various sources on a dash-mounted display.
Several distinctive design features differentiate the Accord Hybrid from its gas-only sister model. These include a unique wheel design, blue-accented grille and exterior light lenses and a deck lid spoiler. The hybrid also has standard LED running lights.
Of course, there are a few disadvantages to the Accord Hybrid in comparison to the regular Accord sedan. The hybrid model gives up some trunk space to accommodate its battery, so it offers 12.7 cu ft of space versus 15.8 cu ft for the gas-only version. Also, Accord Hybrid buyers will likely have to pay a premium, though pricing for the hybrid has not yet been announced.
What it means to you: If you want all the passenger space of the Honda Accord but with better fuel economy, check out the 2014 Accord Hybrid when it arrives this fall.

An excellent track for websites, presentation, etc… Very neutral and melodic. I included a version without the intro for quick starts and shorter looping. The track has several looping points for easy cutting. The download includes 4 files total:
- 2 MP3 256k
- 2 WAV 48HZ 24bit PCM
The high quality WAV files can be used with live media like power point presentations and the compressed MP3 is better suited for web deployment. Both versions have been produced with the highest possible redbook standards. My music is perfect! (**cough. . . lol)
As always, if you need help with any of my files just let me know. I'm always happy to help. If you buy the extended license, I can also chop down a file to create a shorter loop, rip down single tracks or anything else that you might need. Just send me a message after you purchase the file and I'll be happy to help.
Thanks for stopping by…

Best of NFL Photos – Week 6
The NFL does a fairly good job at bringing the fans high quality photographs after each game in their schedule. The photos typically come from the AP, and prints are available for sale on their website. Each week we will highlight a few of our favorites, but of course we encourage you to click through to see all of the great shots the NFL has to offer.

" I just wanted to let you know that I had a wonderful experience in the Atlanta office. The people were extremely polite, the sonographer was outstanding and friendly. She took her time with us and answered all of our questions. The girl at the front desk was super sweet. We loved our photos and our video. This really helped us to bond with our first daughter. After two sons, we wanted a little girl, but the thrill of pregnancy just wasn't there. This was well worth the money paid. We thank you for your time and the experience we will cherish forever."
- Amanda B.
"My mother was crying and I got chill bumps and started tearing up." -
- Sharon A.
"I just wanted to let you know that I have recommended to you everyone I know who is expecting as well as strangers passing by. I cannot express to you the extent of joy you brought to me when I had my 3-D/4-D session done last summer. My sonographer was so experienced and professional and so friendly that I felt as if we had been friends for years. The quality of the photos and video we received was better than we could have imagined. Thank you for bringing such a wonderful service to expectant families. If we do have another little one, you can be assured that we will be back for another session. I should carry your cards around with me. I recommended you to my midwife who gave your info to her subsequent birthing class, and I give your web address out to almost all expectant mothers I meet. Even though it is purely for entertainment purposes, I think it allows mothers to bond even earlier with their babies. I struggled with Pregnancy induced depression, and my session turned my whole attitude around. It made me feel more of a part of my pregnancy, and it brought me back to the excitement. It was just what the "doctor ordered!" :) "

"I have used Baby's First Images before when I was pregnant with my 1 year old. It was an amazing experience (so much so that we visited 3 times) and we're so thankful to have found you! "Great Memories, Thank you!
- Gina C.
"Thank you so much Baby's First Images for making our pregnancy so special and making our 6 year old son's journey through this pregnancy perfect. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
- Shaheen B
"My wife and I used your service at 25 weeks and at 35 weeks during her pregnancy. Our son, Nathaniel Lincoln, was born on December 4th, 2008. I wanted to send you a comparison picture of the 3D ultrasound at 25 weeks and a picture of him on the day he was born. I am amazed at how accurate the ultrasound was. Your staff in the office was very kind and we really enjoyed our experience there. We have gladly referred 3 of our pregnant friends to you. Hopefully their visits are as successful as ours was. See you when the next one is due!"
- John, Linda and Nathaniel S.
"I am the lady that showed up Thursday night begging to be seen after the appointment to find out the sex of my baby at another office fell through. You generously agreed to see me and wouldn't you know it, the baby would not cooperate. You spent a great deal of time with us after hours to get the baby to show us that we were having a girl. The whole time you were kind, patient, understanding and professional. Thank you so much for staying late when you did not have to. It was wonderful for us to be able to share the sex of the baby with friends and family that weekend as we planned. Thank you. We are very grateful to you."
- Amy, Rich and baby
"Everyone is very friendly. They took the time to point out features. I enjoyed every minute of the experience. I really like that family + friends are welcome. That makes everyone feel like they are apart of the pregnancy."
- Robyn S.
"What a wonderful experience for the whole family!! Thanks so much for bringing such a unique experience to the area. We'll definitely be back!"
- Stephanie P.
"My wife and I came in for our 3D/4D ultrasound and were in awe from the moment we arrived on the premises; we are still in awe every time we revisit the still shots and DVD we have of little baby boy! We were able to "meet" our little baby boy even though he has not yet been born.(I get chills just thinking about it.)
We (my wife and I, my mother, and several of our close friends) came traipsing into your office like tourists donned with the accoutrements of expecting parents, the digital camera and digital video camera, to be welcomed by a gregarious, congenial, and professional staff. Our technician was the absolute best! She made us feel so comfortable; it was as if she were just a part of the fun crew who accompanied us to the ultrasound.
The whole process was absolutely amazing and was worth every cent that was spent...and then some! My mother flew 650 miles to see her unborn grandson. They simply did not have this technology back in the "dark ages" when she was pregnant with me. The 2D ultrasound cannot compare to the images seen on a 3D or 4D ultrasound. Up until your ultrasound, we had only seen a black and white glob with a backbone and a heart that was said to be our baby boy. While seeing the black and white heartbeat going strong was reassuring, he became so much more "real" to us when we were introduced to him via your 3D/4D ultrasound.
Thanks to you and the staff for everything! You will be seeing us again soon when we come in for the repeat discount you offer."
- Josh, Rachel, and Baby Joseph
