Newest Anti-Clotting Drug Made From Goat's Milk?
Does your family have a history of blood clots? If you do, the good news is that the newest anti-clotting medication is moving closer to distribution in the US. The interesting and unusual thing about the drug is that that is made from"¦. goat's milk.
The scientific first, the drug, prepared from the milk of genetically engineered goats received approval from the experts at the Food and Drug Administration. The FDA has announced that the medication is effective and safe.
Named ATryn, the drug is meant to aid those suffering from an unusual hereditary disorder that caused accelerated vulnerability to blood clots.
The medicine's authorization would be a huge step toward innovative medications made from active organisms genetically altered by scientists. Related drugs could become accessible in the next following years for a variety of problems, including hemophilia.
A Massachusetts biotechnology corporation, GTC Biotherapeutics, created ATryn by shifting around the genes of goats so they would make milk loaded with antithrombin, a protein that in performs like a natural blood thinner.
1 in 5,000 individuals do not make antithrombin, which raises the risk of developing blood clots. These clots can be painful, and if move into the bloodstream, lungs or brain, the results can be deadly. Pregnant women affected with the disorder are more likely to miscarriage or have a stillbirth, due to clots in the placenta.
Karen Janes, who lost her teen daughter Mary Karen from a brain clot connected to the disorder, says the important thing is that the drug is effective, not that it is made from goat's milk.
"I think this goat thing is just wonderful," said Janes. "I do want this drug to go through all the rigors of testing by the FDA. But if it can work, and it can save other families from what we went through, I think that's marvelous."
The FDA will consider the hazards and benefits of ATryn at a meeting on Friday, and make a proposal to, or not to, approve the medicine.
"It's the first time we've held an advisory committee meeting on any product from a genetically engineered animal," said FDA spokeswoman Siobhan DeLancey.
If the drug passes the tests, the FDA could call for additional monitoring to ensure that patients' immune systems avoid creating antibodies in response to the medicine.
"I think this is an important tipping point," said Geoffrey Cox, chairman of GTC, the drug maker. "The real dramatic thing that is happening here is that we've been able to reduce some very clever science to the practical level of producing a drug that's safe and efficacious. Those things aren't trivial."
In the past, antithrombin was manufactured from blood products harvested from human donors. Creating the goat protein could be healthier for humans, stated Dr. Stephan Moll, a hematologist at the University of North Carolina. It would guarantee a continual supply and lessen worries about infection.
"It's a new mechanism by which drugs could be produced in pretty large volume in the future," said Moll.
ATryn is already on the market in Europe.

Wills Point Boxing's Morgan Leidacher entered the ring and danced around, showcasing how to warm up in style.
The 70-pounder then pounded his way to victory.
On the opening night of the East Texas Golden Gloves tournament, Leidacher and other young fighters put their new talents on display — with hopes of one day becoming world champions. On Thursday, the stage belonged to 40 fighters representing gyms throughout the area at the Herrington Patriot Center.
All told, more than 20 fighters earned victories in the All-Comers, Novice and Open Divisions on the UT Tyler campus with two days remaining in the 73rd annual event. Berths in next month's state tournament (Open Division, the highest level) will be on the line today and Saturday at the same location, but much of Thursday's action belonged to inexperienced All-Comers.
Many having never stepped into the ring outside their respective gymnasiums, the All-Comers swung their way through three rounds in a similar fashion to fighters in the Rocky movies.
That could especially be said about Leidacher, who on the offensive throughout his match resembled a much younger and lighter Ivan Drago of Rocky IV — in the early rounds of the Russian's showdown with Rocky Balboa, that is.
That said, Leidacher's fellow 70-pound opponent, East Texas Boxing Club's Javier Hernandez, never being the attacked throughout the fight stunned his aggressive and more seasoned (Leidacher has one year in boxing) opponent with uppercuts on at least two occasions.
Hernandez, who's been boxing for only three months, was one of many fresh faces who put their fortitude on display in impressive fashion before a wowed and entertained audience.
The All-Comers winners also included East Texas BC's Andrick DeLeon, Enrique Morales, Jesus Soria, Cason Shobert, Daniel Barrow and Gio Ceremeno; House of Champions' Christian Terrazos, Mark Barrers and Albert Hajorda; Longview BC's Carlos Soto; Troup BG's Stephen Moore and Mason Munoz; Wills Point BC's Cory Loicano;
In the Open Division, Troup Boxing Gym's Jerrion Campbell and East Texas Boxing's Jeremy Redick squared off in the 141-pound weight class — a victory by retirement for the skilled Campbell, who controlled the match from the opening bell.
In Novice action, the winners included House of Champions' Curtis Hightower, D-Rocks' Ruben DeLaTorre, Bravos' Xavier Ward, Wills Point BC's Dillion Burleson and Troup BG's Jose Romero.
Notebook: According to event program, the "East Texas Golden Gloves Association is a non-profit corporation. The goals of this organization is to promote and build interest of amateur boxing. The East Texas Golden Gloves Association also promotes physical conditioning of the body, as well as the abilities of self-discipline, courage, and hard work."
Tickets to the event can be purchased at the gate. Ringside seats will be $25 and general admission seats will be $10.
Gates will open at 6 p.m. and bouts will start at 7 p.m. each night.

What is the first thing which comes to mind when you think about financial planning?
If you are like most people, it probably has to do with budgeting, or investing. Yes, both of these are fundamental parts of our financial planning. You can't win at the financial game if you don't follow the basic art of spending less than you earn (budgeting).
Likewise, you won't become wealthy, much less keep up with inflation if you don't invest your money. Tracking your expenses, managing your spending, practicing proper asset allocation – these are all essential. And so is life insurance.
It's great to pay attention to the little things when it comes to money. But you also need to make sure you take care of the big things.
The most valuable asset you have isn't your bank account, your 401k, or your Roth IRA. It is the ability to create income. The single biggest financial risk many people take is the failure to protect this asset.
There are two ways you can protect your ability to create income: long-term disability insurance will help you if you become incapacitated and are unable to work. There are limits, to these policies, but they are worth looking into.
The next way to protect yourself and your family is by purchasing sufficient life insurance.
Who Needs Life Insurance? You May Be Surprised..
OK, maybe not everyone – but almost everyone.
We laid out a more detailed article regarding here, but a good rule of thumb is if your income is used to support someone else, then you should have enough life insurance to offset the loss of your income, and any additional expenses which may arise from your passing.
What about DINKs?
There are many people who say you don't need life insurance, especially if you are a dual income, no kids family.
The rationale is that the surviving spouse should be able to provide for his or herself because he or she would still be able to work. Unfortunately, that logic is flawed in many cases. Many couples live on both salaries and a surviving spouse may find it hard to continue making mortgage payments or loan payments on only one income, especially if they were the one who earned less.
Many debts can also pass on to the surviving spouse, depending on state laws. You also need to consider the possibility or large medical bills or other expenses related to a death and burial.
What about stay at home moms?
Stay at home moms contribute to the household finances, even if they aren't bringing home a paycheck. They take care of children, housework, cooking, cleaning, etc. Every year the national media puts together the "salary" of a stay at home mom based on their household contributions. It is always in the six figures. Think about it another way.
Imagine you are the primary bread winner and your spouse stayed at home and raised your children. What would happen if he or she died? Would the children go to day care? Would you eat out more frequently? Could you afford to pay for any associated medical or burial costs?
Do retirees need life insurance?
Yes, and no. If your house is paid off, you have no consumer debt, you have enough investments and other assets for one or both of you to make it through the rest of your life, then you may be fine without a life insurance policy. If you still have a mortgage or any consumer debt, then you might want to consider a life insurance policy that is large enough to satisfy these debts.
Should you insure your children?
This is another highly contested topic. Many people don't think you should insure a child's life. After all, most children don't contribute to the family income, and the thought of profiting from a child's death is morbid.
I can understand why people may feel that way, but there are times when it may make sense to insure a child. I took out a life insurance policy on my children.
Because it only costs me $2 a month per child for $20k in life insurance.
If my child dies, the money from the policy would be enough to pay for funeral expenses, and hopefully a portion of any medical expenses which may occur. The other benefit is that my children will be able to take the policy with them when they turn 18, regardless of whether or not something happens that would otherwise label them as uninsurable.
It's not a huge policy, but it's enough to make me feel better. And that is what insurance is all about, right?
There is No Time Like the Present
In most cases, it is cheaper to buy life insurance when you are younger (and healthier). If you have some life insurance, great. Review your plan and make sure you have enough. If you don't have enough life insurance, take a few moments and get a life insurance quote or see if you can get a policy through your employer.

new here and got a towing question. i have a 84 20 foot i/o open bow malibu cruiser, which weighs about 2000#s. trailer is nothing special just a tandem axle. doesnt look heavy id say about 400#s or so, also has a surge brake. now the car its a 2006 chrysler pacifica 3.5L all wheel drive 3500# tow limit, weight about 5k#s i think, 250hp and tq, also has trans and oil coolers. i know the car will tote the boat here and there, but do you think ill have problem on the launch? i dont want to slip down while trying to pull it out. i also have a truck to pull but the chrysler fits more people. thanks for any input.
No announcement yet.

Re: will my car pull my boat?
I think you are GROSSLY underestimating the weight of your rig. The tandem trailer is my first clue.
WEIGH IT! Most moving companies have drive on scales. Obviously, truck stops too. I do this all the time.
The issue is not pulling it, the issue is STOPPING it.
Re: will my car pull my boat?
Just the wheels, axles, springs, and brakes weigh 400 pounds. That trailer probably weighs more like 800 - 850#. A Chrysler Pacifica is not a van its a crossover SUV. Regardless, when said "it fits more people" you need to understand that the people you put in the car counts as cargo and therefore detracts from towing capacity. So without any guessing at all, you are overloaded with four people in the car. Add fuel, gear, adult beverages, and --- well you see where this is going.
Re: will my car pull my boat?
i was also thinkin about the stopping part, ive installed different brake pad compounds and the vehicle has 4 wheel disc brakes. ive pulled a yard of concrete in the vehicle and had no real issues stopping.
in the car is only my wife and i when i tow, it would be easier to use the chrysler if i could so when the boat is launched and trailer disconnected i can have my wife or whoever is with me drive and get the rest of the group and only have one car in the parking lot. do you think the chrysler would work if it was only the 2 of us or am i better using my truck a older 77 chevy half ton. i leave my boat at my dads house which is only 1 mile to the launch all flat land and residential to get there. once in a while we would go camping 100 miles away.
thanks for all the input
Re: will my car pull my boat?
should i look into a weight distributing hitch
Re: will my car pull my boat?
You're not reading us.
You have NO idea what the rig weighs-realistically.
You MAY be OK BUT until you find out what you are really dealing with, any plans are pure guesswork.
Your super duper brake pads won't amount to a hill of beans if your brakes are undersized OR your hitch pulls out of the sheet metal (seen it happen).
Spend $10.00 and weight it.
Re: will my car pull my boat?
I use to have a Dodge Dakota. 5.2L v-8, 3.9 rear end, etc. It could tow a lot, but I replaced brakes pads every year (eventually got lifetime warranted pads) I hated expansion joints on the freeway (oscillated) and since my trailer was as heavy and longer than my truck, when the wind blew it swayed (even with anti sway bar). I never complained about it (especially to my wife), because it is what I had.
What can be done, sometimes shouldn't be done. But if it has to be done, just be careful.1987 Boston Whaler "Outrageous 18"

Re: will my car pull my boat?
i bet it is too much, i would bet the boat and trailer come closer to 4,000. and the pacifica is built on an excellent mercedes benz car platform, the 300E sedan. great car, but not an suv by any definition. i pulled an 18' chap bowrider with my chrysler town and country rated for 3800lbs, and it strained, would never go heavier.
Re: will my car pull my boat?
I have a 2004 Saturn Vue AWD (3500 lb tow rating) that is a crossover SUV. I tow my 20' Bayliner Capri all over the place with no problems. Taken it on several 300+ mile trips. Never had a single problem at all. I did add a tranny cooler to it to be safe.
Re: will my car pull my boat?
Couple of things.
I agree with most that you are way under on the weight of the boat/trailer/gear etc. Get the whole setup weighed (including the hitch weight).
But you asked about getting a weight distributing hitch. It isn't the answer if your boat weighs what I think it weighs, but be warned that you cannot use any weight distributing hitch if you have hydraulic surge brakes. Most of the weigh-distributing hitches will not let the trailer push on the hitch enough for the brakes to be activated. I know there is a model out there that will, as I've read about it in a boating magazine my Dad had kicking around, but any that you buy for a normal travel trailer will not work.1977 Starcraft 18' SS 1980 Evin 115
Re: will my car pull my boat?
I'd suspect the AWD Pacifica might actually be better at launch and retrieval than the half-ton pickup alternative (unless it's a 4x4). The trailer has brakes (make sure they work), so I wouldn't worry too much about towing it a short distance at low speed from storage to launch, even if it is a bit over the 3500 lb tow rating.
Definitely weigh it before you think about any long trips though, and if it comes in over 3500 lbs start looking for a bigger tow vehicle. Many smaller North American vehicles have lowball tow ratings, but the Pacifica doesn't appear to be one of them - a 3500 lb tow rating for a 4500 lb vehicle is pretty close to the 85% guideline often used elsewhere.
If it makes in under 3500, make sure you check your brakes before every trip and do consider a weight distributing hitch - there are "lightweight" weight distributing systems made for just this type of application. Setting up a WDH on a trailer with surge brakes can be a bit tricky - make sure you learn how and do it right every time. See this explanation.
250 HP will be sufficient to maintain highway speed on all but the steepest hills, but you will have to push it a bit. Don't be afraid to manually downshift if the transmission can't find the right gear - you don't want it lugging or shifting frequently. Top gear ("overdrive") will probably be useless, even on flat roads. In addition to the transmission and oil coolers you mentioned, use premium quality full synthetic oil and transmission fluid. They are more resistant to breakdown under high shear, high temperature conditions.
Re: will my car pull my boat?
The weight ratings from manufacturers of the boats vary more than a politicians promises, and are about as acccurate
20' boat. Heres my educated guess:
Boat hull alone: 2000
motor: a V6 mercruiser is about 850 itself, so far 2850.
guestamating 50 gal gas: @ 6.5#/gal: 325 3175
Batteries, gear, tools, spares: 300 3475
Aluminum trailer: 700
Steel trailer 1200
So, what I say is closer to 4500 trailering weight.
now, add the 6 people in the vehicle to the trailer, being very politically correct at 150# per person, now its 900# more. The cars innards are internally hemoraging.....
Next, brakes. The trailer brakes are most likely surge brakes. Simply, when the vehicle stops (or attempts to), the trailer weight presses on the master cylinder, and applies fluid pressure to the brake wheel cylinders. Now, IF the trailer outweighs the tow rating, which we think, or if the pavement is wet, the force of the trailer weight will cause the car to lockup brakes adn skid. The trailer brakes are NOT activated. A strong possibility is a jack knife or rollover. Not pretty.
Your 77 pickup may be a better tow vehicle. trucks have bigger brakes than a car, and probably a heabier tow rating.
Insurance may be voided by overweight towing, and you could be charged in case of an accident, even if someone else caused it. thats what shysters do.

Re: will my car pull my boat?
ABS was standard on the Pacifica, so brake lockup leading to jacknifing is unlikely. Good point about the limitations of surge brakes though - they don't stop the trailer from pushing on the tow vehicle, they just make it push with less force. If the trailer outweighs the tow vehicle even that can be too much.

Have no fear, your computer isn't broken! If the drag & drop tool isn't working in Firefox it might be a known issue with a Skype add-on.
We've seen this issue in the past with the Skype add-on for Firefox. For some reason, the Skype add-on prevents people from reordering boxes & pages in LibGuides. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do as this is an issue with Skype and not LibGuides.
Try disabling/removing the Skype add-on:
- Go to Tools > Add-ons

Controlling a relay with a PIC microcontroller
I am controlling a relay switch with a microcontroller. The relay coil is rated at 5V, and the microcontroller is rated at 5V (maximum output voltage per pin). One pin on a PIC microcontroller is rated to source or sink 20mA max. The coil resistance is 125 ohms and the coil rated current is 40mA, so I don't *think* the microcontroller itself will be suitable to directly control the relay.
I also have the option of buffering the microcontroller output by using a BJT (3904) as a switch (the coil would be in series with the collector of the BJT), so more current can be sourced for the relay coil. If I do this, then the relay would only get about 4.3V for activation (5V supply - .7V Vbe drop). Is this a problem for reliable operation, considering it is rated at 5V control voltage?
I'm just looking for a simple (and cheap) solution!
Should be fine.
Just curious, which uc are you using?
I am using the 10F222 which is one of the smallest of the small in terms of PIC microcontrollers. Now that I have the datasheet in front of me, I see that the max source/sink current per pin is 25mA, not 20mA.
Thanks for your reply! I will try a direct connection between uC and the relay.
Sorry, I meant you should be fine using the transistor (4.3 v across the realy). I didn't read your post carefully enough. I was going to mention paralleling 2 or 3 pins, but I just saw that your uc only has 4 i/o pins, so I think that is out of the question.
Which language are you programming it in?
So many edits....
125 ohm resistance will pull 20 mA from 5v. So either way, it should work.
use a Darlington configuration on the switching transistor...
I use the ULN2003. its a 16 pin DIL device, with 7 darlington drivers in it, excellent for simple connections to relays, of course if you only have one relay to drive it is overkill, I have about 14 to do, so it works out fine for me.
kind regards
Using 5 V relay is not very smart, 12 V or more is better and you must use a transistors, plain one, darlington or a small mosfet like BS170. Don't forget to add a doide across the relay coil, otherwise you will break the transistor, eventually. Cathode towards "+".
Worth noticing is that the ULN driver has built-in freewheeeling diodes.
It is not recommendable at all to drive a relay directly from an MCU output.
Check the relay data sheet for the minimum operating voltage, these are normally expressed as 'pull-in' and holding voltage. If the pull-in is within 4.3V, then you should be fine. Don't forget a diode accross the relay coil to suppress back-emf when the relay releases.
With relay on the 2N3904 collector, emitter to ground, drop is only about 200mV; it's VCE(sat) not VBE.
Most 6V relays will switch OK with 4.8V, though level-shifting to a 12V coil is no problem with an NPN switcher.
You will need a base resistor to limit the PIC current, say 470R for about 5mA, and an inverse diode across the coil. The ULN2803A is an 18-pin 8-channel darlington device with both diodes and base resistors built-in.

Yeah, and that's exactly the problem I'm running into after the propsed change: the pkg in question ("paranormal" xmms plugin) wants libxml2, and some other depends (xmms or one of it's depends) wants libxml. now we'd have XML_CONFIG set once to xml-config and once to xml2-config on the same command line, which doesn't compute. I got around to patch the configure script to s/XML_CONFIG/XML2_CONFIG/ for now. Something different: shouldn't the libxml2/buildlink file make sure that the right -Is are added to CPPFLAGS to find the libxml2 headers: CPPFLAGS+= -I${BUILDLINK_DIR}/include/libxml2 CPPFLAGS+= -I${BUILDLINK_DIR}/include/libxml2/libxml Again, that's only speaking for the above pkg, I don't claim to have an overview of other pkgs using xml(2). - Hubert -- Want to get a clue on IPv6 but don't know where to start?

While we're still working on postproduction details…
We will soon post interviews with several of our Icarus Rising actors, including James Oliver Wheatley, Charlotte Beckett, and Malcolm Freeman.
Check back in a couple of weeks to hear and see them talk about their individual stories and insights about their characters, the shoot up in lovely Northumberland in the UK, and what intrigued them most about the story of Icarus Rising and their roles.
Meanwhile, look at this beautiful Daedalus statue in front of the MOD (Ministry of Defense) at London's Victoria Embankment Gardens. It played a pivotal role in the early stages of writing the screenplay for Icarus Rising.

Nineteen gut-wrenching reports from the front lines of the War of the Worlds, as logged by Albert Einstein, Mark Twain, Theodore Roosevelt, H.P. Lovecraft, Winston Churchill, Jules Verne, and many of the other most famous writers of the time. The most popular and acclaimed science fiction writers of today relive the Martian invasion through the eyes of their famous predecessors.
©1996 Reed Business Information, Inc (P)2013 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
"Sometimes slapstick, sometimes thoughtful, the book's delights are really too numerous to describe in detail." (The Valley Times)
"Fun all the way through...carried out with both a respect for Wells's great work and a sense of humor about its own purpose." (Asimov's Science Fiction)
"Nice compilation"
Yes - some great stories unique and well narrated.
Jack London - great piece of fiction!
No so can't answer.
Eat this Tom Cruise!
I enjoyed listening to this audio book, an interesting way to breathe new life into a classic.
Some of you may think it was H.G. Wells that wrote about the invasion of London by Martians. Now finally the truth has come out and we find that Henry James actually wrote the book. You already know about the attack of London and of the attack in New York City as broadcast by Orson Wells. You may know through the 1953 movie about the attack in California. In 2005 we learned with the help of Steven Spielberg and Tom Cruise more about Brooklynn, New Jersey and Boston. What a lot of people don't realize is, that the Martians attacked the entire planet, it was a Global Invasion. Thanks to a list of great authors these reports have come out of hiding and are in this book. We get to hear about the attacks that took place in China, Paris, Texas, St. Louis, Alaska, Russia, Africa, Cuba and others. We get first hand reports from the Dowager Empress of China, Percival Lowell, Jules Verne, H.P. Lovecraft, Teddy Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, Pablo Picasso, Henry James, H.Rider Haggard, Albert Einstein, Rudyard Kipling, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Joseph Pulitzer, Leo Tolstoy, Mark Twain, Joseph Conrad, Jack London and Emily Dickinson. Many of these reports were discovered by famous writers of today, such as, Connie Willis, Dave Wolverton/David Farland, Gregory Benford, David Brin, Allen Steele, Robert Silverberg, Walter Jon Williams, Kevin J. Anderson, Mike Resnick and others.
Don't let the rating fool you, this was a fantastic idea for an original anthology. Present day writers writing as past writers. Spanning the globe to tell the story in slightly different ways. Like all anthologies some of them you will like and some you will not. If you don't like Robert Silverberg or Henry James, you may not like his story. On the other hand if like either one you may love it. My favorites were Walter Jon Williams writing as Dowager Empress of China, Mike Resnick as Teddy Roosevelt, Kevin J. Anderson as Percival Lowell, Robert Silverberg as Henry James and Greg Benford and David Brin as Jules Verne. My favorite part about Jules Verne was his comparison of his work to H.G. Wells. There were more clunkers then I would have liked, but I was still in love with this whole idea of writers writing as writers about such an event. Hopefully there will be future anthologies that are similar. Maybe a second invasion in the fifties. We could hear from people like James M. Cain, Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov, Robert Heinlein, Humphrey Bogart, John Wayne, Elizabeth Taylor, a young John F. Kennedy, etc...
I have heard MacLeod Andrews narrate before, but I never knew the extend of his talents. Each story sounds different and it is hard to believe only one person did all the narration. His talents made the overall experience that much better.
"Chronicles of the Classic Invasion"
For those who love the classic tale by H.G. Wells, this book expands the story with personal accounts from some of the most famous historical personas of the age. From Teddy Roosevelt and Albert Einstein to Jules Verne and Leo Tolstoy, the Martian invasion is given new life for fans of the classics. The caveat, of course, is that in any short story collection, some stories are better than others, and with the similar theme revolving around the one story, most of these tales will run together if you breeze through them. This is a collection best taken slowly, a story or two at a time.
As a fan of the old pulps as well as the original tale that spawned this collection, I have to geek out a bit about the story from Edgar Rice Burroughs. I give no spoilers on how it works out, but suffice it to say, we get to see how these Martians relate to the very different world of John Carter.
All in all, this collection is greater than the sum of its parts, for by the end of it the invasion truly encompasses a far larger scale than the glimpse Wells first gave us over a century ago. For fans of the original, this is a gateway to discover some modern writers. For new fans, this is a great way to discover the original by means of a back door. It's a win-win.
MacLeod Andrews is phenomenal in this audio version. Some of his voices are perhaps a little stereotypical, but there are times I had to remind myself that all of this was the work of one narrator. For a collection capitalizing on the idea of many writers offering many different historical voices, such a narration is not only worthy, it's required.
"very good"
The story is an original concept and a worthy companion to Welle's novel. Each narrative in the words of a contemporary person of note is very well done.
"fantastic collection"
Great stories inspired but Was of The Worlds. the Haitians are terrifying. this collection of stories is a fantastic what if.
"Very uneven"
A couple of the stories were great, but the uneven quality and the jokey tone in some stories made for a poor overall experience.
"Surprised by how much I enjoyed this."
I don't usually have any interest in compilations, but this one really works because of the the common narrative. Cudo's to MacLeod Andrews for a stellar performance! I had to check a couple of times to be sure there weren't multiple readers in the credits. Of all the stories, the only one I couldn't listen to was the Burroughs John Carter of Mars story. Just couldn't do it. What really impressed me was the authors abilities to really emulate the historical figures they embodied in their stories. I highly recommend this book.
"Entertaining, diverse approaches to Martian theme"
I enjoyed the conceit of famous historical figures experiencing the Martian invasion around the world. Picasso, Verne, Twain, and my favourite, Emily Dickinson (as interpreted by a foot noting grad student). Narration was varied and excellent.
"What a hoot!!!"
Most of the stories in this book were a joy to listen to. The Chinese one and the Jules Verne one were my least favorites. The Texas Ranger, and the Teddy Roosevelt ones were my favorites. Overall it was a very entertaining book. Give it a listen!
"Fun and Original Stories, Versatile Reader"
I haven't read the print version, but I'm very impressed by the reader. The variety of styles and voices necessary to read these stories is immense and though he doesn't always quite get it, he's an accomplished reader and fun to listen to.
I love the Texas Rangers story, just brilliant, as is the "John Carter" (Edgar Rice Burroughs homage) story, though sadly truncated of necessity. It would make a great book in itself.
Though his best stories are the American ones, he does a fabulous job with the dizzying array of voices necessary for these diverse stories.
"More hits than misses (eventually)"
This book didn't start off on a strong footing to my mind. I was ready to give up until Night of the Cooters. After that I thoroughly enjoyed a majority of the stories with Einstein's and the 2nd last being stand outs. It does end (excluding the wrapper arc) on a jarringly different story and while amusing I felt that maybe it would have meant more to someone with a fine arts degree rather than IT. I'm pretty sure it was loaded with inside jokes that would have enhanced it had I a more "cultured" literary taste.
I will say however that the narration is spectacular, McLeod Andrews does an amazing job of convincing character voices. I was certain there must have been other narrators at points! He is definitely one of my favourites and was a pleasure to listen to.

Holters qualify for section meet
Ben Holter and Adam Holter went 3-1 in doubles play at the subsection boys tennis individual tournament Thursday and qualified for the section meet which will be Tuesday at St. Cloud Tech.
The Holters were seeded second in the sub-section and finished third.
In the first round Ben and Adam Holter blitzed Sam Burns and Gabe Steinwand of Moorhead 6-0, 6-0. They came close to duplicating that result in the second round as they ripped Mike Lengenfeld and Austin Stone of Alexandria 6-2, 6-0.
In the semifinals they faced Miles and Tyler Bates of St. Cloud Tech and dropped a 6-3, 6-1 decision. That loss moved Bemidji into the third-place match where Adam and Ben Holter outlasted Jordan Goos and Jordan Posch of Brainerd 7-6 (15-13), 6-3.
On Tuesday the Holters will square off against the second seeded doubles team from the south sub-section.
Bemidji's other representatives at Thursday's sub-sections did not fare as well.
In singles action, Levi Rickert won his opener 6-4, 6-7 (4-7), 6-2 over Thomas Polleries of St. Cloud Apollo but fell to top-seeded Tyler Almquist of Moorhead 6-0, 6-0 in the second round.
Joey Wood lost his only match Thursday, dropping a 6-0, 6-0 decision to third-seeded Riley Bates of Tech.
Bemidji's other doubles tandem of Kyle Fodness and Justin Byers fell in the first round 6-2, 6-0 to Miles and Tyler Bates.

As anticipated, one of Evan Feinberg's former bosses on Capitol Hill -- tea party favorite Tom Coburn -- has endorsed him in his GOP primary battle with incumbent Rep. Tim Murphy.
"We have an opportunity to retire another "Arlen Specter Republican" in Pennsylvania this year with someone I know from personal experience who shares our conservative principles and will stand and fight with me and for you against government waste," Coburn, R-Oklahoma, said in a letter released by the Feinberg campaign today. "I strongly support Evan Feinberg for the Republican nomination in Pennsylvania's 18th Congressional District."
Full news release and letter from Coburn after the jump:
Pittsburgh, PA—U.S. Senator Tom Coburn, M.D., announced today he is endorsing Evan Feinberg for Congress. Feinberg is a candidate for United States Congress in the 18th District of Pennsylvania and a former member of Dr. Coburn's staff.
Sen. Coburn is a national conservative leader, known in Washington, D.C. for his commitment to fiscal responsibility and rooting out wasteful and unnecessary spending. In his endorsement, Dr. Coburn was effusive in his praise of his former staffer and had harsh words for the incumbent, Tim Murphy:
"I strongly support Evan Feinberg for the Republican nomination in Pennsylvania's 18th Congressional District," Dr. Coburn said. "Evan is the fresh face the conservative movement needs to broaden its appeal. He possesses the vigor and determination necessary to wage the war against entrenched special interests in Washington."
Dr. Coburn labeled Tim Murphy an "Arlen Specter Republican," referring to his penchant for prioritizing his career above the country and the interests of his constituents. "Fixing the problems facing our country starts with replacing the career politicians who are part of the problem."
Evan responded to Dr. Coburn's support saying, "I am thrilled to accept the endorsement of such a principled statesman as Dr. Coburn, whose integrity, courage and conviction are second to none. When elected, I will join his fight to expose the actions of self-serving career politicians and govern based on limited government, pro-growth economic policies and honest governance."
Other highlights in Dr. Coburn's endorsement letter included his praise for Evan's assistance in fighting against Obamacare and developing free market alternatives to government-run health care. Coburn also cited Evan's tireless efforts to identify waste, fraud and abuse across the federal government and develop innovative solutions to rein in excessive government growth.
Read Dr. Coburn's Full Endorsement Letter:
Dear Concerned Citizen,
Every two years, you and I vote for candidates who promise to change Washington by ending wasteful spending. Yet, no matter who wins, Congress just continues to borrow more and spend more. Since the last election, more than $1 trillion has been added to the national debt.
How can this be?
Within just a few days of becoming a member of the Senate, I learned the answer firsthand.
Politicians tell you one thing about cutting spending to get your vote and then fight like children to grab the biggest piece of the budget pie. The price for getting your pie in Congress is supporting the pork of other politicians.
Consider only 15 out of 100 senators voted for an amendment I offered to defund those infamous Bridges to Nowhere in Alaska. Forty-two Republican Senators voted for the bridges which had come to symbolize the excesses of government waste and stupidity.
Then-Republican Senator Arlen Specter was one of those who voted for the Bridges to Nowhere. Yet Specter had told voters for years he supported a balanced budget. But during our time in the Senate together, he rarely supported my efforts to cut wasteful spending, and behind closed doors, he actually fought to increase spending. Pennsylvania voters caught on and replaced Specter with Pat Toomey, a proven champion of limited government.
Senator Specter's behavior was not unusual. In fact, he was no different than most of the career politicians in either party I have witnessed in Washington. They put protecting their own jobs before principle and think their next election is more important than the next generation.
We have an opportunity to retire another "Arlen Specter Republican" in Pennsylvania this year with someone I know from personal experience who shares our conservative principles and will stand and fight with me and for you against government waste.
I strongly support Evan Feinberg for the Republican nomination in Pennsylvania's 18th Congressional District.
Evan served on my Senate staff for over three years. During that time, Evan helped me develop a free market alternative to Obamacare that would have ensured that you and your doctor—rather than the government—controlled your health care decisions. Evan relentlessly identified government waste and tirelessly pursued innovative solutions.
Evan is the fresh face the conservative movement needs to broaden its appeal. He possesses the vigor and determination necessary to wage the war against entrenched special interests in Washington.
While the media portray Washington as being paralyzed with partisan disagreements, there is one area of bipartisan consensus: borrowing and spending.
Fixing the problems facing our country starts with replacing the career politicians who are part of the problem. Congressman Tim Murphy, whom Evan is challenging for the Republican nomination, was first elected to Congress a decade ago and gained a reputation for fighting for a bigger piece of the budget pie rather than for you. Just like other career politicians, Congressman Murphy says he is for cutting wasteful spending but then votes to waste your tax dollars on wasteful pork projects. He even voted for the Bridge to Nowhere, just like Arlen Specter.
This should come as no surprise since Murphy has consistently supported wasteful pork barrel projects from coast to coast, like $200,000 for a lobster institute in Maine,to $50,000 for a mule museum in California.
Murphy both voted against investigating corruption between campaign donations from the disgraced lobbying firm PMA Group and against investigating corrupt congressional earmarks. In fact, more than 60 percent of the pork projects Murphy has earmarked himself went into the pockets of his own campaign donors, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
Murphy joined Democrats and voted against a balanced budget proposed by the Republican Study Committee. Politicians may say they support a balanced budget, but actions speak louder than words.
Evan Feinberg gives us an opportunity to send someone to Washington whose actions will match his words. Evan has proven he has the courage and integrity to stand up for what is right and to put our children and grandchildren first.
Knowing Evan personally, and having fought side-by-side with him for many years, I have full confidence Evan will be an exceptional leader in Congress. I am making a contribution to Evan's campaign and ask you to consider making a donation of $100, $250, $1,000, or whatever you can afford (up to the maximum limit of $2,500 for an individual and $5,000 for a couple).

A hearty welcome to Moscow-born (and Saskatoon Blades) forward Nikita Scherbak, chosen by the Canadiens with their first pick (26th), although Marc Bergevin says they had him at 15th for skaters and was surprised he was still around when it came time to choose.
From Moscow to Saskatoon, and sometime in the next few years, hopefully a full-time job in Montreal.
Time marches on. In 1972 when the Summit Series was played, Nikita's mom and dad might not have been born yet.
Now we have Nikita, with a year in the WHL with the Blades under his belt, which not that long ago would've been unheard of, and speaking English, albeit with a heavy accent which is to be expected of course. You should hear my French accent.
I remember when it was truly strange to hear Valeri Kharlamov say a simple English "thank you" when interviewed with a translater in '72. Completely unusual, although maybe you had to be there.
Now, after just a year in Canada, young Scherbak was a delight, and like Alex Galchenyuk a few years back, I liked him right away.
Again, welcome Nikita.

For Kids With Asthma, Make Sure Everyone is Prepared
By >Leo Smith/Staff Writer
This can be a stressful time for children, as they leave summer behind and head back to school. For kids with asthma, the transition can be even more challenging.According to the American Lung Association, nearly 11 percent of U.S. children starting school in the fall have asthma, a lung condition that accounts for nearly 13 million classroom days missed annually.
The ALA has compiled a checklist to help parents and their children with asthma prepare for the new year. Topping that list is a reminder that the government is phasing out the common CHC (chlorofluorocarbon) inhaler -- a type of albuterol inhaler -- to be replaced by an HFA (hydrofluoroalkane) inhaler, said to be less damaging to the ozone layer.
Other tips from the American Lung Association:
Schedule an asthma checkup with your doctor: Even if your child's asthma is being closely managed, an appointment provides a good opportunity to re-evaluate medicines and any physical restrictions.
Confirm that medicines are up-to-date and fill prescriptions: Make sure your child's prescriptions have refills available and have not expired.
Be aware of financial assistance programs: For help paying for medicines, call the Partnership for Prescription Assistance at (888) 477-2669. For help from the Rx Outreach assistance program, go to www.rxoutreach.com.
Create an asthma action plan: The plan should include personal information about your child's symptoms, medications and physical limitations, as well as provide instructions about what to do if an asthma attack does not improve after medications are administered.
Visit your child's school: The nurse, teachers, coaches and school office personnel should have copies of the asthma action plan. Make sure they know your child's asthma triggers and typical symptoms.
Advocate for your child: Find out what steps you need to take for the school to allow your child to carry an inhaler if suggested by the doctor. Some schools require a doctor's note.
Know the school's asthma emergency plan: Make sure the school has your emergency contact numbers and that personnel have been trained to handle asthma attacks.
For more information, call (800) 586-4872.

The Smart Way: What is it?
People frequently ask me, "What do you mean by The Smart Way?" Today, while reading some research on happiness by Sonja Lyubomirsky, Laura King, and one of my favorite Psychologists, Ed Diener the way they described their research helped me create the briefest explanation ever of the difference between The Smart Way and The Common Way.
Most of the world lives their lives using The Common Way. It's not because they lack intelligence. It's simply a lack of knowledge. It's what they don't know they don't know.
The diagram below shows the difference. The Common Way is passive. Life happens to you. When you apply The Smart Way, it begins feeling like you have some control over how you experience life. It's a more empowered way of viewing your reality and experiencing your life. A life lived using The Smart Way feels better than a life lived The Common Way. The results of your efforts are better when you use The Smart Way.
The Smart Way is at the root cause of human thriving. Because it is at the root, every improvement affects many branches (areas of life).
I'm pragmatic. I like things simple. I like things that work. I don't like reinventing the wheel if I already have a solution that works. I love helping people thrive more. I love sharing the knowledge I've found in my search for answers to the question, "What empowers humans to thrive?" I don't want to just help some people. I want to help everyone I can possibly help. The Smart Way works. It increases the frequency of positive emotions an individual feels.
What good is feeling good?
Turns out feeling good does a lot of good. It improves your physical, mental, emotional, and behavioral results. It is less stressful and stress is at the root of most illnesses and diseases. Happy people aren't committing crimes. In fact, people commit crimes because they are so stressed about their situation that the only way they can perceive of feeling better is through the commission of a crime. Only happy people can feel at peace with others.
Once I identified the root cause of human thriving, I began building bridges that would help people understand and, more importantly, use the knowledge to make their own lives better. I created bridges that helped individuals who were religious to understand how The Smart Way fit with their worldview. I created bridges that helped individuals who want a scientific basis to understand the science that supports The Smart Way.
In The Smart Way books, all the basic elements of The Smart Way are included, plus information relative to the subject of the book. As I find more supporting research, I add it to the newer titles. I change examples based on the subject of the book. But if you have one, The Smart Way book, you have all the key elements of any book in the series. I don't reinvent the wheel for each subject because the root of thriving in all of them is the same.
Today only one The Smart Way book is published, but four more are in the pipeline. So remember, if you have one The Smart Way book you don't have to buy others. It might be easier to figure out how to apply it to the subject of the book and if you want it to help with that, it's worthwhile. But if you have one and you're not thriving more you read the book instead of studying it and using the techniques. Try them. You'll like it.
Prevent Suicide: The Smart Way is available. New books about building resilience, reducing crime, improving health, and improving relationships are in the works.

Black Friday is the much awaited day for shoppers. Prices drop during this day. It's not a holiday but workers opt not to work during this day to take advantage of sales nationwide. There's a sale for potentially every product you're looking for – maybe natural male enhancement. The trick here is to find the right store offering it.
My husband wants to buy a laptop – oh, make that two laptops. I would love to have a new one for myself too. Z is quite contented with his toys but I want to buy him an Ipod Touch where he can store his music. Hubby tells me he doesn't hear music often enough and I admit it's my fault. Anyway, if we see a good deal online we'll surely buy these items.

The formula I am about to give you is not perfect, but I think it is decent.
Let n=New Grade
Let o=Old Grade
The 20 will end up with a 60, but the 90 will end up with a 95. Sorry if it isn't what you're looking for.

No more mud
Have a problem with tracking mud into the house? To solve it, make a boot scraper by digging a foot-square hole near your door. Fill it with concrete and sink a shovel into it 6 inches deep. When it dries, you will have a permanent boot scraper, with a handle you can hold onto for balance. For added cleaning, place a sturdy scrub brush, upside-down, with bristles up, in the wet cement.
In the wash
If your washing machine is more than 10 years old, it's time to think about getting a new one. today's models not only save water and energy but they're also designed to keep you from making the kind of mistakes that turn your brilliant whites into dull pinks.
The choice is between front-loading and top-loading models. in a top-loading machine, an agitator moves the laundry in water and detergent to get it clean; after the wash cycle, the clothes are spun at a high speed to remove detergent and water. The washer refills, the agitator moves the items through the water to remove remaining detergent, and then they're spun again. A regular wash cycle uses about 45 gallons of water.
Higher-efficiency front loaders are built on a horizontal access and fill to just below the door opening, which reduces the water used to about 25 gallons. Clothes move with a tumbling action through the water, causing less wear and tear on the fabrics and seams. Front loaders can cost more, but the payback in savings is coming more quickly as energy prices climb.
What it will cost: $300 to $1,500, though you can pay more for added speed and cycle combos, larger capacity, and a wider variety of water temperatures and levels. Spend wisely: Don't buy more washer than you need.

AA Cars works closely with thousands of UK used car dealers to bring you one of the largest selections of Fiat Multipla cars on the market. You can also browse Fiat dealers to find a second hand car close to you today. All used Fiat Multipla on the AA Cars website come with free 12 months breakdown cover.
There are few cars on the road with quite as distinctive a look as the Fiat Multipla. But, unlike a car like the Ferrari F430, the Multipla draws stares for its sheer weirdness. With a boxy shape and bulbous lights, it is, in a word; ugly. But this also gives it its character and personality, which it has in the bucket load. As a spacious, practical family vehicle it excels, with room for three in the front (although slightly squeezed), and in the back, a huge boot and plenty of head and leg room for all passengers. While in most other cars such expansive space and rigid body shape might suggest sluggish performance, the Multipla performs well. Its 1.9 litre turbodiesel engine is pick of the bunch, while handling and ride is pleasantly refined and tight. In later generations the looks have been toned down, but it remains a surprisingly able family car, if perhaps not the best looking.

Avoid this face at all cost if you intend on canoeing Lake Luzerne. He makes big claims that he can steer, paddle and swim. He does little, if any, of these things, however some argue he can fix cars at a gas station in Albany called Dunbrook Mobile. But, I digress.
Picture it: You've run white rapids and steep waterfalls in nearly every state in the Northeast. You've slept, eaten, fished, even danced and prayed in a canoe. The activity has been part of your genetic makeup since you were born. Did tipping ever concern you? Not likely.
Then along comes trouble looking to score brownie points but instead dumps your little experienced ass in a lillie-infested marsh. You're hundreds of feet from shore and the canoe is submerged. Is this the adventure you're looking for?
Oh, what the hell – admit it – it was hysterical and worth every humiliating second! Thank you George for the squishy gook between my toes, the mill-foil tangled up in my hair, losing an expensive pair of sunglasses and explaining away our incompetence to other paddlers. If I had known how much fun it was to tip a canoe, I would have done so a long time ago.

Same thing as military intelligence. While we are on it. I really don't see a benefit having source code as a customer. Let's say I had Oracle's source code. Big woop. Does anyone really think most of us have time to learn it and then "enhance it" or "fix it"? No, unrealistic, companies have enough trouble keeping their home grown applications up and running never mind adding 10 more things I could twiddle with. Sometimes too many choices is not a good thing. As a matter of mere curiosity, sure I would love to learn how they do some things, but not realistic to change the source code to fit what I need. Then new hardware comes out with new features and so I have the source code. Most businesses would not want to spin their wheels writing some new disk driver to take advantage of a new CPU instruction or some such thing. (Or if they could they shouldn't, stick to knitting.) That isn't to say open source is a bad thing, but having the source code isn't always a benefit. No economies of scale to be your own support organization for everything. Or some Yahoo changes the source code unbeknownst to you. (yes, should be under version control, but that does not always happen in some shops)
