New method to overcome multiple drug resistant diseases developedAugust 19th, 2008 - 3:02 pm ICT by ANI
Washington, Aug 19 (ANI): Researchers from Stanford University have come up with a new method to combat diseases that have developed multiple drug resistance.
The researchers revealed that using an arginine-rich transporter to ferry a potent medication inside a resistant cell would help restore the drug effectiveness.
Arginine is an amino acid, the building block of proteins, and as such is found in virtually every cell in the human body, as well as other mammalian bodies.
"Nature has developed all of this firepower for getting things into cells, and one of the ways is to create entities that are arginine-rich," said Paul Wender, the Bergstrom Professor of Chemistry at Stanford University.
"Arginine-rich sequences appear to figure in the mechanisms by which many pathogens invade cells," Wender added.
The team led by Wender discovered that a particular molecular subunit within arginine, called a guanidinium group, was what nature actually exploits to get foreign substances through cell membranes.
With the help of drug Taxol(r), a widely used chemotherapeutic agent, they attached a series of arginines with their associated guanidinium groups and tried it out against Taxol-resistant ovarian cancer cells implanted in mice. It helped improve drug resistance.
"It''s an exciting result to be able to take a drug known to work against cancer, but stymied by resistant cells, and restore it to effectiveness using an arginine transporter. "This bodes well for use with other drugs that succumb to resistance," said Wender.
The type of drug resistance that Wender''s team has overcome develops when pumps located in the membrane that encloses a cell become sensitized to a medication. It is one of the most common ways in which resistance manifests.
The pumps, which normally capture and eject foreign material from a cell, are produced at higher levels in certain resistant cells and, because of their increased number, become more effective at tossing the drug molecules out.
"It work''s as a bouncer in cellular club," he said.
The team conducted further studies to see if they could take drugs to which diseases had become resistant and, by combining them with what they call "molecular transporters," get them in around the pump.
"If we think of the pump as being a bouncer for the cellular club, then effectively what we"re doing is disguising one of these therapeutic agents to get it in through the back door or the side door," Wender said. "We"re not even going to deal with the bouncer."
The basic approach of bonding a medication to an arginine-rich transporter to slip it past the cellular sentries could, in theory, be used to get any of a host of medications into any cell that has developed the type of resistance involving increased numbers of export pumps. That could include medications for diseases caused by antibiotic resistant bacteria, such as multi-drug resistant tuberculosis, or by drug resistant parasites such as malaria, as well as other types of cancer.
The arginine transporter manages to avoid ejection by slipping through the membrane of the cell in between the pumps.
"As the transporter, with all these arginine guanidinium groups, approaches the cell, it basically does a handshake using hydrogen bonds with cell surface constituents that are in the membrane," Wender said. "In essence, it changes its physical properties by shaking hands with all these cell membrane components."
That change in physical properties effectively cloaks the arginine-Taxol complex, allowing it to slip past the sentries and into the cell. As it passes into the cell, the weak bonds it formed with the membrane components break and the transporter, with its therapeutic load, is free to roam inside the cell.
To its job against cancer cells, arginine-Taxol complex break apart with the help of molecule called glutathione.
The researchers achieved another breakthrough by tinkering with the form of the arginine used in their transporter. By altering certain aspects of the arginine, the researchers were able to control the rate at which glutathione slices and dices the arginine-Taxol complex.
This gives them an unprecedented ability to regulate the amount of medication that is active inside the patient at any point in time.
The paper will be published next week in the online Early Edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. (ANI)

@ Geej That would be a really Great idea & cool mate.. but i have people from all around the world & to translate it all into every langue's would be almost impossible. But i thank you @bphlpt I totally agree with you on this.. But you lot may get it, i do to a point. this is a hard way for me to learn & so dam embarrassing. I would of thought with all the times i came back that i was struggling with this, but i guess no one gathered that. i meant no disrespect & it's simply frustration with being Dyslexic & not being able to get my point across, i guess no one picked up on that also lol... like i said were all wired in our own Unique way & some get things better that other's. i guess i don't. thank you anyway for your reply.. @Yzöwl Yes were hmm Game hackers we make hacks to use with online games & we are in competition with each other. so Darkteam & GZM & Zerocool all add there own little tricks so if an end user use's one of there hacks & then use's mine hack, they get an Error message saying CONNOT CONNECT TO REMOTE SERVER so we have to explain that people have to delete our domain from there host file then restart our hack, then they connect i mean if there was a way to Add a file saying or names " host.allow " is that an option ? i mean if people were to add a pre-made host would this work. I'll not be expecting much help to be honest lol not now i have mentioned we make hacks. this is why its been soo dam frustrating for me. i'm able to make hacks but when it come's to a simple bloody host file. i just can not get my head round it or sort it to stop other hackers adding a block to our domain. so our end user can not use our hacks unless we teach them how to edit there host & to teach & explain this to all people around the world in so many langue's is something i just do not have time to do. i have to concentrate on my new release.. anyway to everyone i do thank you all & wish you all the best for Xmas... all the best people
why do People presume we all know & think the same on a subject lol. Doh!!
In my experience I have seen people watching videos and people looking at end results, but noone ever learning or understanding anything from them (or from them alone, i.e. without additionally reading, studying, experimenting) You can replicate the examples shown in a video alright, and a video can well be a support for learning , but understanding principles or learning a computer language syntax from a video? jaclaz @jaclaz Dude that to me is a little insensitive & Insulting. How dare you presume what i do after watching a video. I can & Do Build computer's & repair them for a living & have my own store. & very successful store to. I Can MOD a BIOS for my ASUS Mobo & tweak it to work better & i can repair the Mobos them self's. All this was done by watching video's & Experimenting. this is the best way for ME to learn. Not every one is wired the same way as every one else jaclaz , we all learn & think in our own ways. I Can use artmoney to locate addresses in programs & TrueBug.PHP.Obfuscator as well as OLLYDBG all done by video & self learnt. and asking questions. BUT sometimes people think we all think on the same level on these forums & we don't Sir we get to were we are by asking questions & sometime weather you like it or not. you will have to paraphrase your reply's so for them that don't know are able to learn & pick it up easy.. Again i thank you for you help, but it's no use leaving 4 host files in the directory this will only confuse people even more lol i'm not having a go at you, am simply standing up for my self... Simple
this is going to sound funny. but i have made a game launcher ( But i can't make a simple cmd to delete 3 lines from a host file (hahahah ) for a game & others have made there own launcher also. BUT they have made it so it adds the lines so the End USER can't use anyone's else's but there's so when people try mine they get an error " CANNOT CONNECT TO REMOTE SERVER " So i have to tell them to Edit these 3 lines out of there HOST file. NOW the problem is NOT everybody know where or how what & Were a HOST file is, never mind how to edit one lol so i'm trying to make it simple for my user's. when they download my tool, there is a bat file or script that if they get an error message they run this script & the work is done for them. saving them the hassle & messing up there own computers.. i got it to work, but it adds 3 hosts files to the directory 1,2,3 i don't think this is the best way for simple folk to use that do not know how to edit hosts just trying what i can to help my END USER. P.S i thought something so simple would of been easy. yet i can use ArtMoney to edit my game & find addresses etc @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Again i thank you for the links to read, this will be hard, i have always learnt via video or being shown the end result.. i know i have to over come these problems & trust me i do try. Thank you
@jaclaz Not that i don't appreciate your help & time jaclaz But you have just totally confused me to the max now. I'm NEW to making bat files & you have gone on like i understand what i'm doing lol I am also Have dyslexia along with ADHD trying to concentrate on what your trying to tell me as made this project sound even harder for me now is there some please that can help spell it out for me & put it in layman's terms for me please I'm not stupid or thick just always Have always been one of them people that as to have something shown to them. i was the same at school i had to have separate teacher.. anyway this is a little personal & Hard for me to tell people on a forum. so i hope you understand & someone can help me. thank you again Gary
HOSTS file modification
CodeMe posted a topic in Networks and the InternetHi there this script you did... could it be modded to Delete lines from the HOST FILE Normally it's just one of these lines.

It's a Game Launcher & if any other Launchers are used this new Launcher will Give an error " Cannot connect to remote server " Until the one or the 3 lines are deleted.. I thank you in advance to anyone that can help. Am new to writing Scripts & ,bat files or exe P.S I use Windows 8 Pro .. but it never give me the option when i joined Do i have to add DELHOST # 127.0.0.1 www.blah blah blah.org DELHOST # 127.0.0.1 blah blah blah.org DELHOST # 127.0.0.1 update blah blah blah.org[ In Some place in the bat file i make.. please can some one help. i'm so new at bat & exe files you can still see the puppy fat round my eyes. lol We can't play the game with out manually editing the host a few times a day.. & we wish to just run a bat script to do it for us to save time..

With our family's legacy, Meyers B&B, in the flailing hands of me, Sam Meyers, and my sister, Wynne, we're determined to revive the place. We've started a series of blind-date cooking classes and taken on our first boarder. Granddad is even now rolling in his grave.
Signed up for the class is our new guest, Aaron Saunders, a Californian transplant who's distractingly handsome and clearly up to no good. I can't quite figure him out. He blew into town and has been relentless in his search for...something.
The sexy sneak is intriguing. And we've had a steamy moment. Or two. But now I can't stop wondering why he's searching in secret. From the library to my own backyard, Aaron leaves no stone unturned or record book unopened. He's definitely gotten my attention. But that might not be the only thing he's after.

"I love ALL of the glorious Men of Smithfield"
Oh L.B. Gregg, Let me count the ways in which I love thee....
I honestly cannot remember when I first stumbled onto the Men of Smithfield series. I do know that I have never read them in any particular order, and I am ALWAYS entertained. ALWAYS. This series is solid and I cannot praise Gregg enough for making what could be a dreary little town feel like home, with sexy, funny, unique gay men who have a knack for taking the 'scenic' route on that path of romance. (Gees, I sound cheesy, but seriously, this series is one of my favorites.
In regards to Sam and Aaron, it was a cute story. I liked Sam from the get-go. He entertained me with his constant snarky comments, and his knack for "getting caught" in the most delightful and amusing situations. Aaron was also very appealing, especially during the initial meeting scene. I couldn't have laughed harder, if I tried.
Throw in a 'mini' mystery, nosy friends, sassy 'not ready to retire' librarians, and a few other minor characters, all providing playful banter, and I'm pleased. I also appreciated the 'fleshing out" of Adam's brother Cole, one of the immature twins from Adam and Holden's story-- MY ULTIMATE FAVORITE of the Smithfield series-- and I was even happier.
Oh and let's not forget Sam's naughty bedroom talk. OMG!!! *fans self* I am not a fan of phone sex, but let me be clear... each and every time Sam whispered what he wanted to do to Aaron, I pressed rewind to hear it over again, and again. I still can't get enough! Seriously folks! I get hot just thinking about it... I may need another listen...
Happy Reading!
"Not bad, but I miss the original narrator. "
I've heard worse narrators and I still enjoy this author's voice, but I really missed Shannon Gunn.
Overall, the story was fine, though not my favorite of the series and missing some of the easy humor of the previous books. The narrator was fine, but not exceptional, which may have contributed to my finding this book less amusing than the others. I hope the different narrator was a matter of the original narrator's lack of availability and not a creative choice, because the series definitely suffers for the change.
If you've read the others, it's worth getting to have all the stories, but having liked the others so much and having really looked forward to this release with such high hopes, I'm sorry to say I was disappointed. Only 3 stars.
"I enjoyed this one"
BUT had a hard time following the family history.
I liked Sam and Aaron and all the secondary characters! Singles cooking night sounded like so much fun! I would love to go stay at the Meyers' B&B :)

The Nashville Predators continue to look for something that they haven't had recently from the final forward on their roster.
Chances are it's not goals. Pretty much every other center, right wing or left wing has contributed in that regard over the last three weeks.
Martin Erat and J-P Dumont became the latest to do so when each scored Sunday in Nashville's 6-3 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks at the United Center.
That brought to 12 the number of different forwards who have scored in the last nine games, seven of them Nashville victories. That dozen has accounted for all but four of the team's 31 goals over that stretch, which included a season-high six-game win streak.
Dumont found the net twice as Nashville split the home-and-home set with the reigning Stanley Cup champions. The Predators took the opener 3-2 in a shootout Saturday at Bridgestone Arena.
His second made it 3-2 Nashville just 3:45 into the third period, but Chicago finished with four unanswered goals against rookie goalie Anders Lindback, who faced 18 shots over the final 20 minutes.
Dumont's last goal before Sunday was Dec. 8 at Detroit, 17 games earlier. Erat missed nine contests with an upper body injury before he returned to the lineup Saturday and had not scored since Dec. 17.
"If you ask me who my first line is, I really can't answer that," coach Barry Trotz said following Saturday's game. "Each night it's a different first line."
Early Sunday, Matt Halischuk was recalled from Milwaukee and Andreas Thuresson was reassigned to the Predators' American Hockey League affiliate as the Predators continued to rotate through young forwards.
Thuresson played three games since being recalled on Jan. 8. He replaced Linus Klasen, who had three appearances and was inactive three times between his second recall of the season (Dec. 26) and his reassignment to Milwaukee the day before Thuresson arrived.
Halischuk had five points in his last eight games for Milwaukee and 16 points (nine goals, seven assists) in 29 total appearances with the Admirals. The 22-year-old right wing was acquired last June in the trade that sent former captain Jason Arnott to the New Jersey Devils.
Neither Klasen nor Thuresson registered a point during their respective stints with Nashville. Halischuk had no points and no shots in 9:47 of ice time against the Blackhawks.
The most productive Nashville forwards, in terms of goals at least, over the last nine have been Patric Hornqvist and Sergei Kostitsyn with five each. Nick Spaling, who scored his first career goal in his 50th game (Dec. 13 against the New York Islanders), has three in the past eight contests.
• Nashville finished Sunday's game short a defenseman. Francis Bouillon sustained an upper body injury in the first period and did not return. He played just 2:16.
• The six goals allowed were a season-high and the most since an 8-5 loss at San Jose on March 11, 2010.
• Lindback has three losses in his last four appearances.

I ache to be a better mom. It seems so possible. All I have to do is, well, do it, right? Crabbing at my kids, nagging at my husband—just stop. What's the big deal?
Much has been made of mothers in movies. Fictional ideals. Women who live to give. But I know real people who are really like this. I don't think it's just curating for Facebook. I think it's real.
I would love to be someone's rock. Anyone's. But too many days I feel less like a rock than a pile of driveway gravel.
Me to husband still in bed at seven on a school morning when I'm showered and dressed and have read Curious George three times and started a pot of oatmeal on the stove: "Are you ever getting up?"
Me When I'm a Better Wife: "Ah the poor dear's exhausted. I'll just be getting to the homemade cinnamon rolls."
Me to kids when it's time to leave for school and they want to finish building an elephant out of pipecleaners: (in a steady crescendo) "Get in the car right NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Me When I'm a Better Mom: "Look at those skills. The creativity. The focus. What is this silly social construct we call time? Preschool be darned." (When I'm a Better Mom I will use only cute curse words.)
Me to child who after calling downstairs for another hug, a drink of water, and someone to quote straighten the blanket unquote says he has something important to tell me which I assume is a key to his healthy social-emotional development: "Tell me tomorrow."
Me When I'm a Better Mom: "Tell me tomorrow, sweetheart." (Truly, I will never be a better mom after nine o'clock at night.)
Now I read that the way to be a really good mom, to have sure-footed, confident children, is to love myself. It's not enough just to love them. Aye, there's always a rub. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/sherrie-campbell-phd/the-trick-to-raising-kids-who-love-themselves_b_4606161.html
There's a little glitch here. I'm never sure how much I'm supposed to love myself. I need a quantitative measure. A cupful? A quart? I'd hate to love myself too much (a good night's sleep and a healthy breakfast?) and cross over into selfishness. Guilt? Guilt is the gap between:
a) how well I treat myself; and
b) how much good treatment I think I've earned
When the last guest leaves my child's birthday party, I easily close the door, uncork the wine, and curl on the couch in my slippers. Without a blink. For about twenty minutes. And then I pretty much feel like, okay, time to sweep up pinata bits.
I felt guilt on the four-hour plane ride to a family funeral, alone and able to read – crazy – a book. Surely I hadn't earned this kind of solitude. Surely I was taking advantage of a sad situation to find, eek, a little enjoyment?
On a regular day, even a weekend, husband working, me with the kids from 6am to 8:30pm? After a day like that, loving myself means…I don't know. Getting to do the laundry without interruption. Packing lunches the night before so the morning is easier.
I sense this is not self-care.
When I was a junior in college, there were some cute frosh, women who spent a lot of time together. But when one of them needed space, their code to each other was to say, "Guys, my alone bucket is empty."
I know my alone bucket is scraping the bottom of the barrel. I know happy moms make happy kids. I know I need a day off. Half a day? An hour? A new toothbrush?
I need to be happy. Right now! Put it on the to-do list.
Get milk.
Schedule dentist.
Be happy!
Check. Check. Check.
The kids are watching, they're learning. What I do now affects the woman my daughter becomes, it affects the kinds of women my children seek, connect with, the women who become fixtures in their lives. For good or for bad.
No pressure.
I am learning.

Whether you've recently welcomed motherhood or are a parenting veteran, you know that time is a luxury. You can barely find the time to sleep, let alone put on makeup and look polished. Before you know it, your kids and other responsibilities demand all your attention and you have no time for yourself. You've probably forgotten what it feels like to get a manicure or have a day at the spa.
But you don't need to give up on looking good yet. Give yourself just 15 minutes every day and follow the tips mentioned below to look and feel great.
(Take a few minutes everyday to take care of yourself)
- Prioritize healthy skin
Taking care of your skin should be foremost on your list of priorities. No amount of makeup can cover up an unhealthy complexion. So find a skincare regime that works for you and follow this every day. Cleanse gently, tone and moisturize with a hydrating moisturizer. Always use a good sunscreen to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.
Additionally, remember that what you eat has an impact on the health of your skin. So consume a diet full of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. Vitamins are the building blocks of skin and hair, and a deficiency of these can cause many skin problems and infections. For more information on vitamin rich foods and their benefits, take a look at this infographic:
This Infographic – 14 Potent Vitamins for Younger and Healthier Skin – Was Created By Fixyourskin.com
Also remember to drink plenty of water and get enough sleep. Motherhood may keep you up on most nights, so try to fit in naps throughout the day.
- Invest in Basics and staples
As a mom, you probably spend a lot of time in jeans, joggers and t-shirts. These are comfortable and perfect for running after kids or even doing the laundry. But you can stay comfortable and stylish at the same time. Invest in a great pair of jeans that flatter your shape or a classic shirt instead of spending money on cheaper clothes. These will get worn out in no time, and you'll be back where you started. Investing in staples will save you time and money in the long run.
- Get a Straightening or Curling Treatment for your hair
With a hectic day ahead, you won't have the time to put together an elaborate hairdo. You probably barely have the time to run a comb through your hair. A simple solution to this is to have a permanent hair treatment done. Getting your hair straightened or curled, will give you gorgeous hair every day with no effort.
- Pick the Right Accessories
The right accessories can make or break an outfit. A great bag or some stunning shoes will transform your look completely. Like clothing, the same rule applies when it comes to accessories. Always invest in quality, classic pieces, rather than blindly following trends. Take care of your accessories and store them in dust proof bags to ensure that they last you many years. Great accessories can elevate any basic outfit and take it up several notches.
- Look after your nails and toes
Your days of hitting the salon regularly may be far behind you. You want your hands and feet to look gorgeous in sandals or flip flops during the summer months. You can still have soft hands, feet and polished nails. All you need are a few basic items such as a nail file, buffing brush, and moisturizer. A little care every day and can give your nails that salon look at home.
- Take the natural route
Your path to beautiful skin and hair can begin right in your kitchen. You'd be surprised at the common ingredients that can be incorporated into your skin care routine. However, you don't have to spend valuable time mixing skincare concoctions in the kitchen to fix your skin. Easily available ingredients such as olive oil can do wonders for your complexion. It acts as an excellent moisturizer and soothes dry skin and lips. Additionally, rubbing lemon juice on your elbows and knees can lighten pigmentation. Don't need to head to the store the next time you run out of moisturizer, head toward your kitchen. Just use the natural ingredients in your kitchen.
Most importantly, being a mom isn't easy. It requires patience, stamina and an endless amount of energy. You may feel overwhelmed at times, and wonder if you will get any time to yourself ever again. Just remember that it will all be worth it and make sure to set aside a few minutes every day for yourself. Most Taking care of yourself will help you feel more centered, relaxed and ready to take on the day. Try some of the tips mentioned, to feel your best even on the busiest days. What's in your skin care routine? Do you take time to get a manicure or pedicure? Tell us about your style or beauty routine.

When they did comprehensive screening for gene mutations at MD Anderson, in a huge number of patients, they found an actionable target in 31%, but, of these 31%, only 10% responded to the targeted therapy. Overall, only 2.4% of all the patients receiving genomic profiling had a response. This is absolutely horrible. I think that genomic profiling is in general a scam, yet virtually everyone is doing it. I think that certain types of targeted genomic profiling is probably worthwhile -- e.g.

New research led by Alison Allan, PhD, a scientist at Western University and the Lawson Health Research Institute, shows why breast cancer often spreads or metastasizes to the lung. Breast cancer is the number one diagnosed cancer and the number two cause of cancer-related deaths among women in North America. If detected early, traditional chemotherapyterm and radiation have a high success rate, but once the disease spreads beyond the breast, many conventional treatments fail.
Who does it really serve when a clinical trial involving 597 patients results in an increase in survival by 10 days?
A test of the utility of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) on 12 genetically healthy adults reveals several shortcomings, according to a study published in the March 12 issue of JAMA.
As the practice of medicine has moved from a profession to an industrial undertaking, this most human of experiences has fallen prey to the dictates of the American business model. Patients are no longer the purchasers of medical care and services, but instead, the consumers of those goods and services that meet the needs of the purveyors. Whether this is a governmental entity, academic institution, or pharmaceutical company, individuals have become cogs in the wheel of the medical-industrial complex.
Huntington Beach, CA - SignatureCLL today announced that the first laboratory test ever shown in a clinical trial to improve one year survival rates in cancer is now available to patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemiaterm (also called CLL).
On October 7, 2013, in Stockholm, Sweden, the Nobel Committee announced the winners of the Nobel Prize for Medicine and Physiology – two Americans and one German, all now located at institutions in the US. The discovery for which these three investigators share the prize involves their work over three decades studying the transport, packaging and trafficking of cellular proteins.
A team from the University of Rochester Medical Center has shown scientifically what many women report anecdotally: that the breast cancer drug tamoxifen is toxic to cells of the brain and central nervous system, producing mental fogginess similar to "chemo brain."
However, in the Journal of Neuroscience, researchers also report they've discovered an existing drug compound that appears to counteract or rescue brain cells from the adverse effects of the breast cancer drug.
Billions of dollars in research funding and thousands of health-related jobs have been lost to the sequester, putting the nation's healthcare system at risk, said panelists speaking at a health forum last week.
National Institutes of Health Director Francis Collins, MD, said his institute has lost $1.7 billion in federal funding since the start of sequestration and stands to lose another $600 million on October 1.

The First Coast Defence Batteries
Jack Bates of Victoria, B.C. has an abiding interest in researching, documenting and preserving the history of Esquimalt and Victoria's military heritage.
To find out more about the history of Work Point, you can visit his website at http://workpoint.opcmh.ca
The First Coast Defence Batteries
Early in 1878, the smouldering crisis in Anglo-Russian affairs came very close to conflagration. In the emergency, Britain was obliged to act swiftly to provide defences for coaling stations and other major ports around the world. Batteries were mounted to defend Victoria and Esquimalt, and a militia unit was raised to man the guns, through the co-operative action of authorities in London, Ottawa, Victoria and Esquimalt. When the works were completed, the long-term planning of permanent defences was resumed.
Thus the first coast defence batteries were created and manned. The locations, fields, ranges of fire and specific battery information is shown on the scaled drawing below, which was signed by Lieutenant Colonel D.T. Irwin, Royal Artillery, Inspector of Artillery, Dominion of Canada.
The first firing was from a 7-inch gun at Macaulay Point on July 26, 1878 by the Victoria Battery of Garrison Artillery, just recently gazetted on July 20, 1878.
The following advertisement appeared in Victoria's Daily British Colonist on Sunday 17 February, 1878:
PERSONS DESIROUS OF ENROLLING themselves as a Volunteer Artillery Corps, are urgently requested to report themselves personally to the Deputy Adjutant General of Militia at the Drill Shed, between the hours of 12 m. and 2 p.m. on Monday next the 18th instant.
The batteries consisted of:
Finlayson Point
Two 64-pounders 71-CWT RML converted on wooden carriages and slides, naval pattern.
Victoria Point
One 64-pounder RML 64-CWT naval pattern on wooden carriage and slide, front pivoted. One 64-pounder RML converted 71-CWT on common wood truck carriage. A commemorative cairn resides at the location of the battery.
Macaulay Point
Three 7-inch RML 6 ½-ton on wrought-iron naval carriages and slides. This site was enlarged in 1893 and houses the Fort Macaulay structures you can see today within Macaulay Point Park.
Brother's Island
8-inch RML 9 ton on wrought-iron naval carriage and slide. Two 64-pounder RML 64-CWT on common wood truck carriages. This site was abandoned in 1893 and has no current public access. It was previously called Deadman's Island and was a final resting place for deceased Royal Navy personnel prior to 1887.

Are Key Investment Indicators Signaling A Recession?
from the St Louis Fed
-- this post is authored by Kevin Kliesen
A few key economic indicators may give some forecasters reason to think a recession is on the horizon. But when put into historical context, it seems that the economy is still expanding heading into the last half of the year.
On July 29, the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) released the advance estimate for second-quarter gross domestic product (GDP). Also included in this report was the annual update to the national income accounts that resulted in revisions to the past three years of data.
The advance estimate indicated that real GDP rose at a 1.2 percent annual rate in the second quarter.1Although the economy rebounded modestly from its anemic growth rate of 0.8 percent in the first quarter, the advance estimate was much weaker than the consensus estimate of 2.6 percent.2
Moreover, the BEA reported that real GDP growth was measurably weaker over the previous three quarters (2015:Q3 to 2016:Q1) than earlier estimates suggested. As a result, real GDP growth over the past four quarters now stands at 1.2 percent, its lowest four-quarter growth rate in three years.3
Slowing Economic Growth Rate
As seen in the figure below, the economy's growth rate has decelerated sharply since the first quarter of 2015 (3.3 percent). Although the economy's growth rate is barely above 1 percent, there have been episodes over the past few years when growth had also slowed sharply. Thus, this episode may be another example of a temporary slowdown, the result of periodic shocks that hit the economy. Still, it is also possible that this slowing is the leading edge of something more substantial - perhaps a recession.
The state of the business cycle plays an important role in the St. Louis Fed's new characterization of the U.S. macroeconomic and monetary policy outlook.4 In this characterization, the economy is viewed as operating in a specific regime that tends to be persistent. These regimes could be periods of low productivity growth or business expansion or recession. And since optimal monetary policy is dependent on the regime the economy finds itself in, identifying when the economy slides into a recession is vitally important.
Recession Checkpoints
Although recessions are rarely forecastable events, economists nonetheless have a variety of checkpoints for examining the state of the economy. One checkpoint is consumer expenditures, especially on big-ticket items like autos and appliances. The outlook appears reasonably good based on this indicator: Real expenditures on durable goods rose at a robust 8.4 percent rate in the second quarter and are up nearly 4.5 percent from a year earlier.
Two other checkpoints in the national income accounts are expenditures on residential and nonresidential fixed investment. Like durable goods, a person's decision to buy a house or a business's decision to invest in a piece of equipment or to build a new structure depends importantly on the individual's or the firm's expectation of future income and earnings (and profits), respectively.
During periods of slow or slowing growth, real incomes, earnings and profits tend to slow as well. In response, firms and households typically trim their current and future expenditures. This is why fixed investment outlays are highly cyclical - that is, sensitive to the state of the business cycle.
Here is where the clouds appear a bit more ominous:
A Historical Look at Fixed Investment
By employing the lens of history, the two figures below can help gauge whether the declines in real NRFI and RFI are likely to be temporary developments or potentially signaling the next recession.
Each figure shows the average growth rate eight quarters before and after the business cycle peak, as determined by the National Bureau of Economic Research. By definition, business expansions occur before the peak and recessions occur after the peak. Recessions are much shorter than expansions.
The average growth rates are culled from periods around the eight business cycle peaks that prevailed from the second quarter of 1960 to the fourth quarter of 2007. In the figures, the average growth before and after the recession is indicated by the orange line. The shaded areas indicate the range of values before and after the business cycle peak. The blue line shows the growth rate of each series from the first quarter of 2014 to the second quarter of 2016.
The cyclical indicator properties of each fixed investment series is seen in the figures. On the business side, the growth of real NRFI tends to be positive until the peak, but then growth turns negative, on average, for six consecutive quarters.
On the housing side, the growth of real RFI, on average, turns negative two quarters before the business cycle peak. The growth of real RFI then remains negative during the first two quarters of the recession. But as the shaded areas indicate, there are exceptions to this pattern for both series.
Recession Looming?
Are current fixed investment developments worrisome from an historical standpoint? Two points are worth noting. First, the recent pattern of negative real NRFI growth is somewhat different than the pattern typically seen prior to a business cycle peak. On average, negative NRFI growth is associated with negative real GDP growth for more than one quarter, and we have yet to see that in the current expansion. Subsequent revisions may show that the economy entered into a recession during the fourth quarter of 2015 or the first quarter of 2016, when real GDP growth was less than 1 percent, but that seems unlikely given the economic strength in other areas - especially labor markets.
Second, the decline in real RFI would be consistent with previous prerecession patterns if the U.S. economy was nearing a tipping point in the expansion. Recall that the message from the above figure was that housing usually leads the economy into the recession, posting negative growth rates six months before the peak.
At this point, the majority of industry analysts and professional forecasters remain optimistic about the housing sector over the remainder of 2016 and into 2017. Key positive developments in this regard include expectations of continued strength in labor markets, low mortgage interest rates and relatively high levels of housing affordability.
To sum up, the declines in residential and nonresidential fixed investment are worrying because they are often viewed as reliable leading indicators of the cyclical strength or weakness of the economy. Although economists and other economic analysts find it very difficult - if not impossible - to predict recessions in real time, the available evidence suggests that the economy, though exhibiting stubbornly weak real GDP growth, continued to expand heading into the second half of 2016.

3 Over the past four quarters, the decline in business inventory investment has subtracted 0.6 percentage points from real GDP growth. In the national accounts, final sales is the measure of GDP that removes the contributions to growth from changes in inventory investment. Thus, while growth is measurably stronger according to real final sales, the pattern of final sales growth has also shown the sharp deceleration noted in the figure for real GDP.

Summer to me is lazy days, hot temperatures, fans blowing the hot air around and walks to the lake with my boys (and new girl) to go fishing for perch and small mouth bass. Sometimes we are even graced by the presence of a delicious rainbow trout, but mostly,with this heat, they stay away. It amazes me every night we go how my little boy has grown. How can such a small person cast a rod and reel it in all by himself at only two and a half? My how they do grow so fast.
I can't wait for all the times we are going to go camping and swimming and hiking together, just as soon as the newest little one is old enough to appreciate it. Right now she is all diaper changes, nursing, crying, sleeping and gurgling. A little too things to appreciate the finer things in life.
There's much to be said about living on a lake, like how the mosquitoes are so big they could pick you up and fly away with you (sorry, reoccurring nightmare), or how the fog can roll in at any time, resting on the lake's calm surface. The heat can be oppressive, settling on the valley we live in and bringing with it all sorts of late evening mugginess, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. Or should I say I wouldn't trade my children's experience with growing up in the rural village we live in for anything?
The amount of fun we can have by simply going out for a walk and picking a few blackberries or huckleberries, the fishing, the swimming, the nature at our doorstep. Who wouldn't want that as a kid?
Childhoods should be spent being silly, enjoying nature and good homecooked food, taking walks and fishing with fathers, poking bugs and rolling in the grass. I hope I can give my children all of this, and hope that one day they tell me how much they appreciate having grown up the way they did. I strive to offer my kids everything I had in life and more and I think we're right on the path to achieving those dreams.
Summer to me also means lighter meals and lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. So this next recipe may be a little out of place seeing as how you will have to turn on your oven or BBQ, but I assure you it's worth it. I'll tell you something about this recipe. I made it for Maple Leaf Foods. Well, I developed it to enter a contest to win $500 worth of groceries (who doesn't need that?) and they gave me some coupons to buy the pork (full disclosure!). This pork loin is roll cut, stuffed with mushrooms, spinach, bacon and goat's cheeses and then roasted with a crust of Dijon and fresh herbs. Perfect for pairing with a nice chardonnay and eating on your deck or patio.
Stuffed Pork Loin
Yield: 4 servings
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 55minutes
1 1/2 lb. pork loin, centre cut
1/2 lb. crimini mushrooms, cubed (or a blend like shitake, portobello, oyster, etc.)
150 g baby spinach or chopped large leaf spinach (stems removed)
4 1/2 oz. thick cut, bacon (preferably double smoked), diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp butter
1/4 cup white wine or vermouth
4 green onions, chopped
60g chèvre
100g goat feta (or regular)
1 Tbsp fresh thyme
kosher salt to taste
fresh ground peper to taste
For the crust:
1/4 cup Dijon or Grey Poupon
1 clove garlic, minced
kosher salt to tatse
fresh ground pepper to taste
1 tbsp fresh oregano
1 tbsp fresh thyme
1. First we need to roll cut the pork loin. The easiest way to describe the method is this: Lay your knife parallel to the cutting board with one end of the pork loin nearest to you. Slice 1/2 an inch from cutting board (you are trying to get the pork loin as thin as possible) from right to left but don't cut all the way through, leave at least 1/2 an inch as a hinge. Now place your knife in the centre of the pork loin "book", blade facing left. Cut another flap towards the left, leaving another 1/2″ as a hinge. You should now have a 1/2″ think piece of pork loin that you will be able to stuff and roll up.
2. In a large, deep sauté pan melt butter over medium heat.
3. Add in mushrooms and garlic and sauté until softened. Add in bacon and allow to crisp as much as possible. Add spinach and sauté until completely wilted.
4. Deglaze pan with wine and allow to completely evaporate.
5. Stir in cheeses, green onions and thyme and remove from heat. Set aside to cool for a few minutes.
6. Preheat oven to 375°F.
7. Leaving one inch of space from edge of loin, spoon on cheese/spinach mixture in thick line. Roll left edge over and roll towards the right. Tie with kitchen twine (or if you don't have any just rest pork on baking sheet with seam side down) and place on greased baking sheet.
8. Mix crust ingredients in a small bowl and slather onto loin in a thick layer. Coating all sides (except the bottom).
9. Roast in preheated oven for 50-55 minutes. Internal temperature should be 160°F and there should be a tinge of pink left in the pork.
10. Allow to rest for a few minutes before carving.
11. Serve with small side salad for a nice light meal.
**This recipe was developed 100% by me for a contest being run by Maple Leaf Prime Pork. I received a coupon to buy the pork and am entered into a contest on Maple Leaf's Facebook Page. If you think this recipe is super fantastic, then feel free to give me a vote there (one per person per day). If you happen to live in Western Canada and like pork, you can receive a 50% coupon just for voting.

It is the bottom of the tenth and Muskingum is leading the Bishops, 5-4.
Ohio Wesleyan catcher junior James Toland steps up to the plate.
OWU has two outs. Toland gets two strikes on the board and the game is surely lost for the Bishops—No.
He hits a grounder to Muskingum shortstop Nathan Hunt, who fumbles, letting Toland run to first.
Next up, with the bases loaded, is OWU sophomore third baseman Sean Vollenweider, who smacks the ball into a gap in right center field.
Two Bishops score, giving them just enough runs to clinch the win, 6-5.
Vollenweider said he strategically won the almost three hour game.
"I was able to find a hole," he said. "It was a big win for us. Hopefully it will get us prepared and carry us through the next few games."
Head coach Tyler Mott said OWU built off their hitting momentum in the tenth inning.
"I've seen it happen at OWU games before. Everyone just feeds off of it. When you put on a uniform you don't always know what to expect. Baseball is a funny game."
The game score flip-flopped, with Muskingum opening the game with two runs, OWU gaining the lead with a triple in the fifth–losing it in the sixth–and finally winning the game in the tenth.
"Scoring two in the bottom of the tenth shows we have a good team and good character," Mott said. "Anything can happen."
The Bishops are playing Muskingum this weekend in a doubleheader at Littick field Friday and Saturday at noon.

4037 Campbell Avenue
Arlington, VA 22206
Medi is your hidden gem in the Shirlington neighborhood of Arlington. The cuisine is predominately Greek with other Mediterranean influences and it is based on a "quick service" model much like Chipotle. Medi is far from fast food though. They focus on healthy and high quality ingredients with an exacting attention to detail and they have many gluten free and vegetarian menu options. Medi's recipes are all homemade and in some cases have been passed down through generations.
Diners enjoy a customized experience. How does it work? First you choose the style of meal that suits your mood. You can have your meal in the form of a pita wrap, a salad or on top of rice. They use Fontanini pita bread out of Chicago and the rice is infused with lemon and mint. I went with the pita.
Next you choose one of several meats or balsamic grilled veggies. Medi only uses free range meats which are all marinated using a family recipe and they don't use any oils in the meat preparation. Rather they take the time to sous-vide the meat, this cooking style entails sealing the meat in a vacuum-packed bag and slow cooking it for up to 72 hours in a water bath. The result is very tender and flavorful meat that is cooked in its own juices. I chose the spicy braised lamb, seasoned with peppers and Medi spices. The spices packed a little heat, but nothing too overwhelming. It was delicious!
After you choose your meat you can dress it with their signature toppings. For example you could have a Greek Style or the Europa Style meal. I went with the Moroccan Style, which was composed of "Medi Spicy 17 Spread", grilled sweet peppers and onion mélange, cilantro, tomato and red onion. I was impressed away by the Medi Spicy 17 Spread. The 17 refers to the number of ingredients in the spread and it is reminiscent of a harissa but elevated to a whole new level. Some of the ingredients I could detect included Chipotle and Adobo peppers, ground coriander, honey and tandoori spice. It has an amazing spicy and slightly sweet flavor and the pepper mélange was great too. It's made with onions and both red and green sweet peppers that are stewed in wine with golden raisins.
To accompany my delicious Moroccan style dish I ordered the innovative Gyrito. Part gyro and part taquito, it's kind of like a crispy Greek egg roll, served atop a bed of lettuce and diced tomatoes. They take slices of gyro meet and feta cheese and roll it in a corn tortilla. It is then fried to perfection and drizzled with a balsamic glaze that gives it a little sweetness and a homemade tzatziki sauce is served with it to dip. The feta really comes through well and the Gyritos are a lot lighter than you would think. They are definitely worth trying.
Medi is a great place to have high quality, quick service Mediterranean meal at a very reasonable price. You can be in and out for under $10. They also have an interesting beer and wine selection and serve a tasty Pomegranate sangria. More Medis are on the way and they will be expanding into DC soon.
Happy Eating!

Tackyshack's "The Portal is a Lie?" is a beautiful trick "painting with light" photo -- a camera is set with its shutter open in a dark place, and small lights are used selectively to illuminate parts of the image, and to draw shapes in space. The photo simulates a person going through a portal from the game of the same name, and it's a rather ingenious use of the technique.

BOSTON—A business strategy that touts finding new markets for existing products requires that HR managers increase their links to company strategists in organizations that adopt the concept, the author of a book detailing the strategy told an audience at SHRM's 2008 Global Conference & Exposition here.
"Blue Ocean Strategy" is about creativity and finding new markets that allow a company not to get involved in—and bogged down by—hyper competition, said W. Chan Kim, co-author of the book Blue Ocean Strategy: How to Create Uncontested Market Space and Make the Competition Irrelevant, during an April 1 keynote presentation.
Blue Ocean Strategy is the complete opposite of the business strategy of direct competition—called Red Ocean Strategy—employed by most companies, Kim said. Red Ocean Strategy is about competing in an existing marketplace and focusing on beating the competition to exploit the existing demand, he said. In Red Ocean Strategy, companies develop a plan to knock out—or kill—the competition, leaving the market stained red with the blood of the defeated competitors, he said.
Conversely, because existing markets are shrinking, Blue Ocean Strategy emphasizes that companies create an industry—or product—and open new markets for that industry or product, Kim said. While creativity—or innovation—is at the core of Blue Ocean Strategy, not every company is going to invent something new, but a lot of creative people can reconstruct existing ideas, he said.
Kim said Starbucks' success is not entirely because of the coffee sold at its locations. That company took the idea of a "mom and pop" coffee shop and combined it with the comfort of a modern hotel lobby such as a Marriott. While the mom and pop coffee shop might sell good coffee, the patrons who go there are mostly truckers who are not interested in having conversations, he said. But in the lobby of a modern hotel, it is much easier to start a conversation; therefore Starbucks combined good coffee with comfortable, friendly locations to sell coffee, he said. While it is true that Starbucks sells coffee, "what they are really selling is atmosphere," he said. By changing the atmosphere in which coffee is sold, Starbucks created an uncontested market and made the competition irrelevant, he said. Starbucks "created and captured new demand," he said.
HR's 'Blue Ocean' Role
The role of human resource managers in firms that implement the Blue Ocean Strategy—so called because companies that adopt it are opening up new, uncharted waters—is to increase the link between a business' strategists with the rest of the company in support of the strategy, Kim said. Research for the Blue Ocean Strategy took 20 years, and those studies have shown that companies' boards do not regard HR managers as strategists, he said.
HR managers are seen as important, but they are not strategists, he said. Therefore, it is up to human resource departments to forge a substantial link with those who develop corporate strategy, he said. HR has to create bonds so HR managers can be in the role of developing corporate strategies, he said. "I can't show you all of it, but I will stimulate your minds to see how the Blue Ocean Strategy will contribute to human resource managers," he added.
