Whilst any paint will provide some degree of protection from rust for a while, no other is as permanent as POR-15. When others have chipped, scratched, flaked, and peeled, POR-15 Rust Preventative Paint will still be preventing rust.
Colours available: Black, Semi Gloss Black, Grey.
Available in three sizes:
- US Pint 473ml (which covers approx 4.5 square metres)
- US Quart 946ml (which covers approx 9 square metres)
- US Gallon 3.78l (which covers approx 35 square metres)
POR-15 Rust Preventative can be sprayed or brushed on to provide a rock hard, yet flexible, non-porous coating that will not shrink, peel, or crack. It is totally resistant to road salt, petrol, battery acid, etc., and actually dries harder in humid damp conditions. Ideal for suspension and chassis protection, and you can apply a topcoat of any finishing paint. This is protection you can count on.
Metal surfaces should be treated first with POR15 Cleaner Degreaser, then use POR-15 Metal Prep to dissolve rust, etch the metal and leave a Zinc Phosphate for better adhesion of the paint. Use the POR-15 Solvent to thin (if required) and to clean brushes.
Can be sprayed or brushed
Prevents rust from recurring by protecting metal from further exposure to moisture
Designed for application directly on rusted or seasoned metal surfaces
Dries to an incredible rock-hard, non-porous finish that won't chip, crack, or peel (dries faster in humid conditions) – totally resistant to most acid, petrol and road salt.
UV light sensitive (must be topcoated for prolonged exposure to sunlight)
- AUTOMOTIVE: suspension – chassis – doors – trunk areas – engine & fuel tanks – rusty frames – floor pans – corroded battery tray.
- INDUSTRIAL: heavy equipment – truck components – trailers – fuel storage – rebar -steel forms – concrete – storm grates – transformers – wastewater management
- MARINE: decks – bilges – hulls – stem pipes -chain lockers – mast.
- HOME: seal cracks in basement and foundations – Garage floors – Roofs – HVAC – Pipes – Beams – Home appliances.
- Excellent for sealing and repairing fiberglass.

For children who need an operation, the idea of being put to sleep can be one of the most frightening parts of surgery, especially when they see that anesthesia-inducing masked person descending towards their face.
So anesthesiologists, nurses and other surgical staff turn to a veritable wizard's bag of distraction techniques aimed at reducing anxiety in jittery youngsters, including telling jokes and making up stories.
Recently, staff at IWK Health Centre in Halifax added another way to help kids relax before they are given anesthetic: playing video clips from a favourite TV show or movie, streamed from YouTube and shown on a monitor inside the operating room.
"We have thousands of kids across Canada who have surgery every year, and kids and parents have told us that the most stressful time for them is the time of anesthesia induction," says Dr. Jill Chorney, a clinical psychologist at IWK.
Children display a range of behaviours, from quiet tears to full-out sobbing, and some even attempt to escape.
"So we've been on the hunt for quite a while for ways to help manage kids' anxiety," says Chorney, who led a study looking at whether video in the OR might help alleviate kids' fears even more than standard distraction methods.
Researchers found that children whose attention was focused on a video were significantly less anxious at the time of anesthesia than children in a control group who did not have video in the operating room.
"Probably another way to look at that is we actually found children who had the videotape distraction didn't show any increase in their anxiety at all, from the time they left the (pre-surgery) holding area to the time that anesthesia was induced," she says.
"Whereas kids in the control condition showed a significant increase in their anxiety."
Surgical suites at the hospital were already equipped with video monitors, which were installed for clinical and teaching purposes, "so we were able to pipe in videos through that, which was great," Chorney says.
While waiting to go into the OR, children are asked to pick from a selection of video clips. Younger kids often opt for "Bob the Builder" or "Dora the Explorer," while their older counterparts might choose "Hanna Montana" or a Disney movie.
"The clip starts from the moment they (go) into the operating room and plays all the way through until they're asleep," she says. "They would become so engaged with the video that the things that were happening around them weren't nearly as distressing as they would be otherwise.
"And what we know with these kids is the best way to manage distress is to keep them from getting distressed in the first place. It's much easier to keep a child calm than it is to calm them down if they're already significantly distressed."
Indeed, lessening anxiety can help with recovery: studies show that children with high stress at the time of anesthesia administration can experience more post-operative pain and may need to stay in hospital longer than kids who were calmer.
Dr. Conor Mc Donnell, an anesthesiologist at Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children, endorses the idea of video streaming inside the operating suite, saying "every extra tool in the tool belt is a fabulous addition" for helping kids go through surgery.
"We've definitely found in anesthesia that iPads, smartphones, iPhones, video clips and specific apps for cartoons or other characters are very helpful — not for all children all the time, but as an addition to other skills in your armamentarium, such as distraction, humour, funny voices and things like that," he says.
Anesthesiologists often use their own hand-held electronic devices, which can be safely sterilized for the OR, to provide a young patient with a distracting video or game before putting them to sleep.
"Usually we would get one of the nurses to hold it, if we're using our hands, while the child watches it," says Mc Donnell.
Even before surgery, when parents are with their child in the waiting area, Mc Donnell says he gauges how upset his patient is or might become, then begins taking steps to try to calm them.
"One of the things I think is very important is I try to show the child that the parents are comfortable with me. Parents can exhibit as much anxiety as the child and one can feed off the other. I find it's really important that the child feels that the parents trust you."
Mc Donnell says he speaks in a soft, gentle voice and avoids coming across as a potentially frightening authority figure.
"I do use a lot of humour," he says of his own bag of anxiety-reducing tricks. "I do Homer Simpson's voice. You would be amazed that even two-year-old children seem to love Homer Simpson's voice."
A lot of his pediatric patients are enamoured with "Dora the Explorer" and little boys are often into "Star Wars," he says, adding that there's "a brilliant Darth Vader you can download into your iPhone."
Mc Donnell sometimes suggests to young patients intrigued by Darth Vader that they breathe along with the ventilator-dependent character, while he administers anesthetic through a mask.
"It can be a way to distract them and entertain them at the same time."
Of course, it's not just anesthesiologists who try to put young patients at ease.
"We have some really, really talented nurses here when it comes to making stories up on the spot," he says. "They're just fabulous."
For young boys who express an interest in "Toy Story," for instance, he and nurses might use the Buzz Lightyear character as a way to alleviate nervousness when introducing the idea of being put to sleep.
"You start talking about space. And with the mask, it's like Buzz Lightyear's space mask, and 'You might feel yourself floating up like when you get sleepy. So you're going towards the moon and you see all the stars as you go by,'" he says in a soothing voice.
"It's just to really try to fold a story into the experience and even prepare them for things that are unexpected," says Mc Donnell, who continues to relate the story OR staff tell their young charges.
"'You might feel something a bit strange. Don't worry, that's just a spaceship going by very fast.'"

XAMPP not using symlink correctly in multisession
Subject description: Works ok from 2.16 installed on hd
I've had a persistnent problem with installing XAMPP on a mulit-session CD. It doesn't seem to find images and stylesheets in the htdocs directory for localhost applications ( both PHP and static HTML ).
I've already put "root/my-applications" in every XAMPP configuration file I can find. Doesn't seem to help. It seems to involve something about the Document Root, but that's only a guess at this point.
In fact, I realized it didn't make much sense to do in the first place, because XAMPP is obviously following the main symlink or it wouldn't find the PHP application ( minus style sheets and images ). However, multi-session makes it so easy to tamper with the system internals that it's hard to resist tampering tempation to do wild things that I'd never dream of doing anywhere else. After an extended config file orgy, all I have to do is "just say "no". The best of both worlds, like a morning-after pill.
As I understand it, there is a symlink from /opt to the root/my-applications directory. Is there somethig about symlinks and XAMPP on multi-seesion CD that is different from a disk install ? It works fine on hard disk.
I've looked at some of the other threads on the subject and other people have had problems with XAMPP as well, but I didn't understand some of their comments, particularly about how XAMPP treats symbolic links.
Does anyone have any suggestions for next steps ? Would it help to install a more recent version of XAMPP ?
- Bill Breitmayer
BTW, I've been hacking away at Puppy multi-session CDs since pre version 2 and think they are the most alpha top dog in the linux universe. The remastering process in 2.16 is soooo easy that it's become a personal priority ( some might say obsession ) to get the beast to behave itself. I really want to get XAMPP running. Are there debugging files or montioring tools I should be looking at to try to catch the varmint in the act ?

Post subject: good practice
Isn't it good practice to put those files in htdocs, too?
Anyway, part of your problem is the unique workings of the live CD, which if I understood it right, stops reading certain files when RAM is exhausted. So if you are using XAMPP, you must have lots of RAM.
That project of your is interesting. Let's see if your problem goes away.

Not sure which files, but if you mean http.conf and other config files they live in the lampp/etc directory, depending on the version of XAMPP and the target machine. The Windows version of XAMPP is very different ( bye bye IIS ). However, there may well be other important files that are not where I expect them to be.

[Flash] Multisession Puppy will use swap memory if available.
Good point and a definitely a candidate for dropped path problems. My machine has 640 meg and a 512 meg swap partition. When I run "free", there usually about 300+ meg availible and the swap file never gets any activity. But that doens't eliminate the possibility of something dropping out of memory during a demand spike fo some sort. Something to keep an eye on.
XAMPP/Puppy works fine as a disk install so I may be able to remaster a good multi-session from disk. I still need to check how it behaves as a frugal install and other permutations in the configuration to see if I can detect a clues of some sort.
[Raffy] That project of your is interesting. Let's see if your problem goes away.
[Flash] I don't have a clue what you're talking about, quasimodal, but it sounds like you're having too much fun.
I've been nibbling away at this since last fall, but I'm getting pro-active about it now.
The remastering process was pretty good before version 2.16, but now it's vastly simplified. The whole package worked well in the past, but now it works so well that it's really a quite viable alternative to hard disk or network installation, a third force as it were. Combined with the fact that a good CD/DVD drive runs about as fast as an low-end ATA disk ( about 3 meg/sec ) and one has a winning technology. For spam-less and spyware-less browsing, nothing beats it.
The ony fly in the soup is that either the CD/DVD drive works with multisession or it doesn't. I've never found a way to get a non-working drive to work. I heartly recommend HP drives, never had a problem of any sort.
Thank y'all for your suggestions.

You said "images and stylesheets", so that's what I meant.
Perhaps you don't miss this, but simple remaster requires manual copying of changed files in /root. Any chance those files are left out during the remaster?

I misunderstood. Yes, they are there.
One difficulty I've had in tracking down the problem is that I haven't been going about it in a methodical way. I've been mixing versions of CDs with versions of puppy.sfs and sometimes I loose track. So I've gome back to a simple
mulit-session CD, built using the xampp150.pup downloader ( 3359 bytes ).
Puppy version: 2.10 multi-cd
XAMPP version: XAMPP 1.5.0
HP pavilion with Athlon XP 1.8G / 640M
Puppy deects my CD as HL-DT-ST GCE-8400B, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive. I don't see anything alarming in /var/log/messages.
While running XAMPP, the 'free' command reports 475M used, 138M free. After stopping XAMPP it's about 460M used and 152M free.
When I go to localhost and get directed to head.php ( etc. ) in htodcs/xampp directory, I get a texty-looking page saying "Welcome to XAMPP for Linux 1.5.0", so far in /localhost/xampp/. It looks for xampp.css and img/head-xampp.gif, both apparently there and get nothing in the page.
When I request the page over from the mulkti-CD server on my little network, I get the same results. Om the other hand, when I make the request from my disk installation, it works fine, same as localhost on the dsik based installation.
I might have suspected something the php.ini file, but I've tried static HTML pages and it seems to be the same for simple /image path names.
In ROXFiler. I click on the lampp icon in /opt and it takes me to ~my-apps/lampp, so the symlink works as far as the file system is concerned.
I've fiffled with http.conf, getting rid of symlinks to /opt/lampp and it didn't seem to change anything.
When I do a negative test referring to an image I know does not exist I get in the /lampp/log/errors file ( for example ) - "Mon May 21 12:27:51 2007] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: /opt/lampp/htdocs/images, referer: http://localhost/test/". So why not an error for the other images "not found" ?
One thing has just occured to me that maybe they are being found and the prolem is
, somehow they aren't being extended to the requestor for external page elements, that is "path"/filename. A possibility ? XAMPP is notorious for no password security, but could the beast at the end of the request be in another part of the forest from a simple HTTP/PHP page request ?
The prolem with that theory is the /lampp/log/access file -
127.0.0.1 - - [28/May/2007:16:15:01 +0800] "GET /xampp/xampp.css HTTP/1.1" 206 3667
127.0.0.1 - - [28/May/2007:16:15:01 +0800] "GET /xampp/img/logo-small.gif HTTP/1.1" 206 509
127.0.0.1 - - [28/May/2007:16:15:01 +0800] "GET /xampp/img/head-xampp.gif HTTP/1.1" 206 1404
127.0.0.1 - - [28/May/2007:16:15:01 +0800] "GET /xampp/img/head-for.gif HTTP/1.1" 206 791
Apparently it says they are being gotten. But maybe not ?? Maybe just the request is being gotten and the file itself is not still found ??
Another of my little tactics is comparing the file system on the multi-CD with my disk installation of Puppy 2.0.1, running XAMPP on a Pentium II 200Mz / 128 Meg ( and running very well at that - used 86M, free 40M, 1-2 second repsonse time for simple stuff, with CPU at 100% most of the time of course ). I haven't found any discrepancies, but it's a fairly grueling task and I could easily have missed something.
When I request the page over from the multi-CD XAMPP server over my network from the disk installation of Puppy, I get the same "no sytle no images" results. Om the other hand, when I make the request from my disk installation, it works fine, same as localhost on the dsik based installation.
raffy: Perhaps you don't miss this, but simple remaster requires manual copying of changed files in /root. Any chance those files are left out during the remaster?
I didn't realize that, I thought things had to copied to /root to be saved. The only remastering I've done in earnest is 2.16. and that seems to work very well for Midnight Commander, Foxfire, etc. It seems to me it has be something about XAMPP, that it's writing a configuration file somewhere that isn't being saved.
It's turning into epic journey. Thanks for your comments.

Post subject: error in getting files
When I request the page over from the mulkti-CD server on my little network, I get the same results. On the other hand, when I make the request from my disk installation, it works fine, same as localhost on the disk based installation.
This means those files are still outside your document root htdocs. Given that, the error below is likely if the device gets timed out (too slow to respond).
Looking at error 206, this means "Partial content — the requested file wasn't downloaded entirely. This is returned when the user presses the stop button before a page is loaded, for example."
I hope you get all your files together inside the document root to avoid errors.

Post subject: XAMPP *is* using symlink correctly in mulitsession
" ... the error below is likely if the device gets timed out (too slow to respond)."
I'm still not sure what would be the cause of a "time out". It's on ram disk and the page is being served without a visible delay. Am I missing the point ?
I never ask the question, but do you know of anyone who has gotten XAMPP working on a live-CD ? Or is it just something about the way I am installing it ( or whatever ) ? There doesn't seem to be much about XAMPP in the forums.
Thr good news is that I had time to work on it today. I decided to start a fresh, clean CD from scratch. I renamed all disk based .sfs files, burned a standard 2.16 CD, downloaded XAMPP, installed it. Just a straight boot, download and install, no mulitsession saves or any of that, It didn't work correctly.
I know now that my original idea about the problem was wrong. Symlinks are working fine. I edited the /xampp/head.php file in six ways and moved images into every plausible subdirectory in /htdocs - I couldn't get it to work. So it's not a problem with symlink from the /opt directory to the XAMPP app, it's some problem with the way Apache is accessing images/styles.
The files are probably being found, they just aren't being served up. The access log showed the same 206 errors, but error_log only showed errors for image files that I had deleted and were actually not on disk.
I checked file permissions and they were identical to the disk installation of XAMPP that works. I still need to check out all the interactions of XAMPP "lampp/no password" security in a CD boot environment.
One odd thing I found in the install script, XAMPP places a configuration file and a shell script in the /etc directory, profile.local and xamppsymlinks. But they seemed to be there on ram disk and accessible whatever they were doing.
In any case, something other than the file system is blocking Apache from accessing images and styles. It could also be a caching problem, although caching seems to be happening inside the my-apps/xampp directory. But maybe not. I'll have to check it.
I may be able to compare my configuration to the SLAMPP live-CD ( http://slampp.abangadek.com ) and see if I can find a discrepancy.
I'll keep worrying away at it when I have time. If I can get the bally thing going by investing a few more hours, it'll be worth it. Thanks for your help.

Post subject: An Update and a Fix !
Eureka !
When reading through the XAMPP FAQ pages, I noticed a question about why images weren't showing. The explanation was that with some Linux releases there are "special problems". For some reason, XAMPP has a problem with Puppy mulitsession and but not with a Puppy disk installation ( who knew ? ). The fix is a very simple.
The fix is:
1 - find /opt/lampp/etc/httpd.conf
2 - uncomment the lines EnableMMAP off and EnableSendFile off
Presto, one has a working XAMPP server running off of a multisession CD remastered from disk. Not only is it an inherently incorrupible server, it's also an installable backup of the disk partition. Basic Puppy, XAMPP, NVu and a few other goodies in an .sfs under 150 Meg. Amazing !
So the bug had nothing to do with symbolic paths and in fact nothing to do with stray XAMPP configuration files being lost. The mastering process seems to pick up almost everything on disk..
I'm going to see if I can install a more recent version of XAMPP, maybe 1.6.2. If some one knows about any special considerations in converting a XAMPP configuration to Puppy, I'd like to hear about it.
Thanks for you help, guys.

You just drop this puppy in and configure the boot to include this squash file - reboot and you are away - the post install script for mysql must be run - mysql_install_db edit /etc/my.cnf to customise your mysql install - then run with
/etc/init.d/rc.mysqld start

Belated thanks. It worked well. It fiddled around a bit and got it remastered into a multi-session customized ( with no HW detection ) for my main machine. Very slim and fast. I think phpMyAdmin would have been useful and is only about 2Meg ( tar.gz size ).
For a HW detect CD, it would require more work to re-master, copying all the files and directories under /etc and /var, etc.
One of the advantages of XAMPP ( despite the bloat ) is that the whole thing can install into /my-applications. Installing to /root rather than /usr may not be standard Linux, but sometimes it makes applications easier to configure and control. In fact, for newer versions of XAMPP and Puppy, I'm installing directly to /opt with no problems.
You probably have moved to Puppy 4.1 in the intervening months. I've had good luck with installing Slackware packages indirectly using tgz2pet. Often, I've found that if the tgz2pet fails, it probably won't install correctly anyway. But most Slackware packages seem to convert to pets without trouble, so long as there are no unusual libraries to track down.
I think that standard LAMP applications would work as well. although I haven't tried it yet. Probably the easiest way to build a slim LAMP multi-session for Puppy 4.1 is by converting Slackware packages to pets and let the pet package manager do the work.
The are limits however. I tried to replace the Puppy's Bash with Slackware ( installing libtermcap first ! ) and got a kernel panic on the re-mastered CD, although it worked OK on the original. The problem might be fixable, but it's probably better to use the base libraries on dev-411.sfs whenever possible and not mess with Slackware libraries. I'm still working on that one ...
For radical Puppy hacking, multi-session is the best way to go. If I don't like a hardware driver, I delete it. If I think that directory /usr should be called /user, I rename it. With multi-session, I need have no fear of the consequences of my stupidity.

You need to entertain the kids. You want them out of the house, away from the video games, out in the fresh air. So you think you're doing the right thing when you decide to buy that trampoline. But have you checked into your homeowner's insurance to see if that will be covered? If you want Florida homeowner's insurance for trampolines you could get bounced right out of the market.
Insurance companies are not fans of trampolines. Injuries from trampolines are growing every year and insurance companies have labeled them an "attractive nuisance" right up there with things like swimming pools. So what are your options if you want to get a trampoline? It basically comes down to three choices:
No Coverage
For many insurance companies this is it. No coverage at any cost. If you already have a homeowner's policy you're canceled, end of story. And don't think that by just not telling them about your trampoline you'll sneak by. Some companies are popping in with surprise inspections and could cancel you completely if they find a trampoline on your property, no questions asked.
If you talk with your insurance agent, they may agree to write the trampoline out of the coverage, rather than canceling you completely. This means that you will be financially responsible if anything goes wrong. Think long and hard about doing this. If a serious accident happens, you would be responsible for all related medical costs.
This isn't just about your own children either. If some other child comes onto your property and gets hurt on the trampoline, sometimes even without your knowledge, you're going to be liable if that child's parents sue you.
Limited Coverage
Some insurance companies may allow coverage with limits for any trampoline related claims. Again, this could be risky, especially if a child other than your own gets injured on your trampoline. You could get sued for any medical costs exceed the policy's limits. Since trampoline related injuries can often result in permanent neurological damage, the costs can be significant.
You might have the option of buying additional coverage, as in an umbrella policy, to help cover higher medical claims. Typically you can get $1 million or more to cover your liability.
Regular Coverage
You could be one of the lucky ones find that you do indeed have Florida homeowners insurance for trampolines included in your policy. The company may agree to coverage if you take all the proper safety measures. Putting up a net, having a locked entrance and making sure the trampoline is properly anchored to the ground are all things you can do to help possibly get insurance coverage. Some agents report that your rates may not even go up if you take these steps to prove things are safe, but be prepared to pay more.
If you're shopping for Florida homeowners insurance at https://floridainsurancequotes.net/florida-homeowners-insurance/ for trampolines you need to know what questions to ask. With the reports by the U.S. Product Safety Commission showing nearly 92,000 emergency room visits every year due to trampoline injuries, insurance companies are becoming more reluctant to offer any homeowner's coverage at all. Do you homework before you decide on that trampoline to avoid costly surprises.

Tuberculosis may lurk in bone marrow stem cells of infected patients, researchers say
Bikul Das
Tuberculosis is a devastating disease that kills nearly 2 million people worldwide each year. Although antibiotics exist that can ameliorate the symptoms, the courses of therapy last for months and don't completely eradicate the disease, which frequently recurs years or decades after the initial treatment.
Now, in a classic case of bench-to-bedside research, scientists at the Stanford University School of Medicine have discovered a possible reason for the disease's resistance: The ability of the tuberculosis bacteria to infiltrate and settle down in a particular class of stem cell in the bone marrow. By doing so, the bacteria take advantage of the body's own mechanisms of self-renewal.
"Cancer scientists have noted that self-renewing stem cells like these in the bone marrow have properties — such as natural drug resistance, infrequent division and a privileged immune status — that make them resistant to many types of treatment," said Dean Felsher, MD, PhD, professor of oncology and of pathology. "Now it turns out that this ancient organism, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, figured out a long time ago that, for the same reasons, these cells are ideal hosts to invade and in which to hide."
Not only did the scientists find genetic material from the bacteria inside the stem cells, they were also able to isolate active bacteria from the cells of human patients with tuberculosis who had undergone extensive treatment for the disease. The findings raise the possibility that other infectious agents may employ similar "wolf-in-stem-cell-clothing" tactics. And, although any new human treatments are likely to still be years away, they suggest a new possible target in the fight against tuberculosis, which infects nearly 2.2 billion people worldwide.
"We now need to learn how the bacteria find and infect this tiny population of stem cells, and what triggers it to reactivate years or decades after successful treatment of the disease," said postdoctoral scholar Bikul Das, MBBS, PhD.
Felsher is a co-senior author of the study, which was published online Jan. 30 in Science Translational Medicine. Das is the lead author. The research was conducted in collaboration with scientists from the Forsyth Institute in Cambridge, Mass.; the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto; and several research groups in India.
The research focuses on a subset of stem cells in the bone marrow called mesenchymal stem cells. These cells are multipotent, meaning they can become several different types of specialized cells, including bone, fat and cartilage. Although the mesenchymal stem cells are most often found in the bone marrow, they are known to be able to migrate to sites in the lungs, where the tuberculosis bacteria thrive.
Dean Felsher
"Hematopoeitic cells, especially macrophages, have long been thought of as the primary intracellular niche for M. tuberculosis, even when the infection is present at a very low levels and the individual is asymptomatic," said Kevin Urdahl, MD, PhD, an assistant professor at Seattle Biomedical Research Institute, the country's largest independent organization devoted to the study of infectious diseases. Urdahl was not involved in the research. "However, this study shows that the bacteria also has the capacity to reside within mesenchymal stem cells, and may even persist in these cells after drug treatment. Although further studies will be needed to establish the relative importance of this niche during latent infection, the immunoprivileged nature of the bone marrow and the ability of mesenchymal stem cells to express drug efflux pumps make this an intriguing possibility that could have important clinical implications."
Although tuberculosis is most commonly known as a disease of the lungs, it can infect many parts of the body, including the abdomen, bone, skin and brain. The respiratory form of the disease is spread through infectious particles aerosolized when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Many cell types have been found to harbor tuberculosis bacteria, but the location of the bacteria's primary (and highly successful dormant variant) hideout has remained unclear. However, Das noticed a clue during his years as a physician in India.
"Fifteen years ago, I was treating hundreds of tuberculosis cases," said Das. "At the time, we noticed we were finding tuberculosis bacteria in bone marrow biopsies that had been obtained from some of these patients for other reasons. This was a totally unexpected and accidental finding, but it gave me the idea that the bacteria could be infiltrating these cells."
To test his finding, Das, who came to Stanford as a postdoctoral scholar after completing a fellowship at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, exposed bone marrow stem cells from healthy human donors to the tuberculosis bacteria. He found that not only did the bacteria infect the cells, but that they were also able to persist inside the cells for at least two weeks as they were maintained in culture. Upon closer investigation, he found that the bacteria preferentially infect mesenchymal stem cells expressing a cell surface marker called CD271 and that the viability of the bacteria in the cells decreased if the stem cells were stimulated to specialize, or differentiate, into other cell types.
Das next turned to a mouse model of dormant tuberculosis devised and created by his colleagues in Cambridge. This model relies on a genetically modified strain of tuberculosis bacteria that can replicate only in the presence of a compound called streptomycin. In the absence of streptomycin, the bacteria remain dormant in the animal in a manner similar to that seen in treated human tuberculosis patients.
Together the researchers exposed laboratory mice to aerosolized particles of the modified bacteria. The mice became infected, and dormant bacteria were found in the CD271-expressing mesenchymal stem cells in the bone marrow of the animals six months after streptomycin withdrawal. When Das and his colleagues injected other mice with these tuberculosis-carrying stem cells, those animals went on to develop characteristic symptoms of the disease, including lung lesions called granulomas.
"These mesenchymal stem cells have never been implicated as a host for tuberculosis," said Felsher, "and they serve as a potential source for dormant disease. Moreover, these cells express drug-efflux pumps in their outer membranes that could make them resistant to anti-tuberculosis medications."
Finally, Das turned to collaborators in India to determine whether what happened in the mice reflected what happens in infected people. The researchers conducted a small clinical study in which bone marrow biopsies were collected from nine people who had undergone the complete course of anti-tuberculosis treatment and whose sputum, a mucus-like substance secreted into the airways of the respiratory tract, contained no detectable bacteria. In eight of the nine people, the researchers were able to detect bacterial DNA in the mesenchymal stem cells obtained from bone marrow; in two of these eight, they were able to isolate living bacteria.
"Not only is this strong evidence that the tuberculosis can remain dormant in stem cells, but it shows that the living bacteria could be recovered from these cells after a long period of time," said Das. "It's also very suggestive of how the reactivation could be triggered: These stem cells are known to migrate to sites of injury or inflammation and begin dividing. So, migrating stem cells harboring dormant bacteria might reactivate the disease in the lung. Interestingly, I and other physicians treating patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease — which results in lung inflammation — have seen a strong correlation between COPD and tubercular relapse. It is possible that the tuberculosis relapse in COPD might involve the stem-cell mediated reactivation of a dormant tuberculosis infection."
In the future the scientists plan to focus on investigating the cellular mechanisms used by the tuberculosis bacteria to infect and persist in the mesenchymal stem cells, and how reactivation occurs on a molecular level. They're also interested in the possibility that tuberculosis might not be the only microbial bad boy that's learned how to exploit the stem cells' properties as a perfect hiding place.
"This could possibly be a more general paradigm," said Felsher. "Other infectious agents might use stem cells in a similar manner. We'd like to further characterize whether and how these stem cells provide a protective niche for other infectious agents."
The research was funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Canadian Cancer Society, the KaviKrishna Foundation, the Laurel Foundation, the National Institutes of Health (grants AI076425, CA105102, CA89305-0351 and CA112973) and the Department of Defense (grant PR080163).

1. I am copying and pasting a blog below by Eric Waggoner, Chair of the English Department at West Virginia Wesleyan College concerning the chemical breach that has contaminated the water supply to nine counties and affected some 300,000 people in the Charleston, West Virginia area. He can describe the situation from direct experience.
2. I am copying and pasting a second article from the Huffington Post titled: "Freedom Industries, Company Behind West Virginia Chemical Spill, Files For Bankruptcy." Of course, the perpetrator of the pollution and chemical assault is going out of business, and within a week!
"I'm From West Virginia and I've Got Something to Say About the Chemical Spill"
Huffington Post: By Eric Waggoner, Chair, English department, West Virginia Wesleyan College Posted: 01/14/2014 7:28 pm
This is not going to be a very cogent post, I'm afraid. We're still in the middle of the mess that got made for us, and there are still a lot of things we don't know, including when the water is going to be drinkable again. I'll try to be as articulate as I can.
On Saturday January 11, I drove to Charleston, West Va., the city where I was born, and where my parents, my sister and her husband, my niece, and many of my family still live. I'm two hours north now, up in lumber country. They're still down south in coal country. One of the ways we identify regional demarcations in this state is through industry.
I'd been talking to my folks ever since the spill at Freedom Industries on Thursday morning. Here's what we know so far: The spill dumped 7,500 gallons of 4-methylcyclohexane methanol (MCHM) into the Elk River, a mile and a half upstream from the intake pipes for West Virginia-American Water, a company that serves nine counties. The spill was caused, according to the most reliable reports we've been seeing to this point, because of deterioration of Freedom Industries' storage and transfer materials for chemicals used in coal processing. We're talking here about your basic rusted pipes and breached concrete containment walls. Freedom Industries hadn't been inspected by the Department of Environmental Protection in over 20 years. There was, we're being told, no plan — no plan — on the books for procedure and protocol, should one of those containment tanks happen to be breached.
I drove down to Charleston on Saturday morning with 10 cases of bottled water, as my folks, my sister and brother-in-law, and my niece haven't been able to use tap water since Thursday. Saturday morning it rained in Buckhannon — rained hard. It rained off and on all the way to Charleston, a sheeting, high-wind downpour that at times, through the windshield, looked like driving through a car wash.
About 10 miles out of Charleston, the rain slacked off. The temperature was mild, about 60 degrees. I drove south to the point where I-79 South ends, and you pick up I-64 West to head into the interstate exchanges on the freeway that runs the length of downtown. And there, about a mile and a half out, I smelled it, smelled the odor of the MCHM coming in through the car vents.
I keep hearing the odor described as "licorice." That's not quite right, at least to me. But I can see how you'd make that association. The smell was both sweet and sharp, and strangely light, at least in comparison to the smells I associated with chemical leaks growing up. But it was there, suddenly, like someone had flipped a switch. It wasn't there, and then the next second, there it was.
I-64 West into Charleston, coming from southbound, unrolls in a big left-hand curve just after you come into the city. I've driven this route hundreds, maybe thousands of times. I grew up here. I recognize every building from the freeway — the banks, the hospitals, the hotels and apartment complexes, all of it. In the deepest part of that big left-hand curve, down off the freeway and to my left, there was West Virginia-American Water Company, and the smell suddenly became very, very strong.
On my way in, the rain had let up. Now there was low-lying fog, white-and-gray tufts and tendrils of vapor rising up from the street level all around the small wood-frame houses and gas stations and grocery stores. The sky was dark, and the fog was in the streets, and the smell was everywhere. I looked at the water company, and I smelled the air, and suddenly I was filled — I mean filled — with a rage that was quite sudden, very unexpected, and utterly comprehensive.
We can never predict what moments are going to affect us this way. I'm no dewy-eyed innocent about chemical leaks. They were a regular occurrence when I was a kid. On the merits, this doesn't seem right now to be the worst industrial threat West Virginia has ever endured. Hell, it isn't the most immediately threatening one my family has endured personally; that would be the bromine leak in my very own hometown of Malden in the 1980s, the one that forced a complete evacuation of the entire town until the leak could be contained.
But something about this confluence, the way I had to bring potable water to my family from two hours north, the strange look of the landscape wreathed in rain and mist, the stench of a chemical that was housed directly upstream from the water company — something about all of that made me absolutely buoyant in my rage. This was not the rational anger one encounters in response to a specific wrong, nor even the righteous anger that comes from an articulate reaction to years of systematic mistreatment. This was blind animal rage, and it filled my body to the limits of my skin.
And this is what I thought:
To hell with you.
To hell with every greedhead operator who flocked here throughout history because you wanted what we had, but wanted us to go underground and get it for you. To hell with you for offering above-average wages in a place filled with workers who'd never had a decent shot at employment or education, and then treating the people you found here like just another material resource — suitable for exploiting and using up, and discarding when they'd outlived their usefulness. To hell with you for rigging the game so that those wages were paid in currency that was worthless everywhere but at the company store, so that all you did was let the workers hold it for a while, before they went into debt they couldn't get out of.
To hell with you all for continuing, as coal became chemical, to exploit the lax, poorly-enforced safety regulations here, so that you could do your business in the cheapest manner possible by shortcutting the health and quality of life not only of your workers, but of everybody who lives here. To hell with every operator who ever referred to West Virginians as "our neighbors."
To hell with every single screwjob elected official and politico under whose watch it all went on, who helped write those lax regulations and then turned away when even those weren't followed. To hell with you all, who were supposed to be stewards of the public interest, and who sold us out for money, for political power. To hell with every one of you who decided that making life convenient for business meant making life dangerous for us. To hell with you for making us the eggs you had to break in order to make breakfast.
To hell with everyone who ever asked me how I could stand to live in a place like this, so dirty and unhealthy and uneducated. To hell with everyone who ever asked me why people don't just leave, don't just quit (and go to one of the other thousand jobs I suppose you imagine are widely available here), like it never occurred to us, like if only we dumb hilljacks would listen as you explained the safety hazards, we'd all suddenly recognize something that hadn't been on our radar until now.
To hell with the superior attitude one so often encounters in these conversations, and usually from people who have no idea about the complexity and the long history at work in it. To hell with the person I met during my PhD work who, within ten seconds of finding out I was from West Virginia, congratulated me on being able to read. (Stranger, wherever you are today, please know this: Standing in that room full of people, three feet away from you while you smiled at your joke, I very nearly lost control over every civil checkpoint in my body. And though civility was plainly not your native tongue, I did what we have done for generations where I come from, when faced with rude stupidity: I tamped down my first response, and I managed to restrain myself from behaving in a way that would have required a deep cleaning and medical sterilization of the carpet. I did not do any of the things I wanted to. But stranger, please know how badly I wanted to do them.)
And, as long as I'm roundhouse damning everyone, and since my own relatives worked in the coal mines and I can therefore play the Family Card, the one that trumps everything around here: To hell with all of my fellow West Virginians who bought so deeply into the idea of avoidable personal risk and constant sacrifice as an honorable condition under which to live, that they turned that condition into a culture of perverted, twisted pride and self-righteousness, to be celebrated and defended against outsiders. To hell with that insular, xenophobic pathology. To hell with everyone whose only take-away from every story about every explosion, every leak, every mine collapse, is some vague and idiotic vanity in the continued endurance of West Virginians under adverse, sometimes killing circumstances. To hell with everyone everywhere who ever mistook suffering for honor, and who ever taught that to their kids. There's nothing honorable about suffering. Nothing.
To hell with you. This is the one moment in my adult life when I have wished I could still believe in Hell as an actual, physical reality, so that I could imagine you in it.
That was what I thought. Not in those words — it came to me in a full-body rush — but I think that's a reliable verbal representation of the feeling.
Like I said, it wasn't rational or cogent. I'm not an eco-warrior or a Luddite, and I'm not anti-business or even anti-industry. But for years, I've watched from inside and out while the place I grew up in, the place where many people I love still live, got sold out and scorched and plowed under and poisoned and filled with smoke.
There are sensible, sane ways to do things. (A mile and a half upstream from a water intake facility, for fuck's sake. Upstream.) It's essential for state and federal governments to consult with scientists — actual, real scientists, in spite of this area's long and fierce tradition of anti-intellectualism when it comes to public policy — and provide a regulatory apparatus for maintaining safety standards and making sure things are up to code, and that there's a protocol in place for when systems fail. That's what a society does to protect the people who live in it. Or the people who live in it will — should, anyway — naturally come to the conclusion that their health and safety mean zero in the calculus of industry and politics.
Over the past couple of decades, the resource manufacturing industries have been leaving the state in a slow trickle — of their own volition, though, and not, as might have been hoped, at the end of a pike — and gradually, the state is going to have to move to a post-coal, post-chemical economy. That's a good development, to my mind. But the history of sellout politicians and cheapjack business interests in this region keeps me on watch for the next plague of locusts.
Having been made to endure f—ed-up Air, Earth, and Water, we ought to be mindful of that history, and make sure that history goes with us, always, into the voting booth, into the streets, into the home, into the wider world.
Otherwise, to steal a line from the old hymn — and don't we love our Jesus, our stories of noble suffering around here — we'll all of us, residents and politicians and operators alike, find ourselves standing in the Fire Next Time.

According to bankruptcy filings, Freedom Industries, wholly owned by Chemstream Holdings Inc., filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Friday. Freedom Industries owns the storage facility responsible for leaking up to 7,500 gallons of 4-methylcyclohexane methanol (a coal-cleaning chemical also known as crude MCHM) into West Virginia's Elk River.
Hundreds of thousands of people in nine counties were given orders not to use water for bathing or drinking for days as the company scrambled to clean up, exposing disturbing vulnerabilities in the water supply and a lack of data about hazardous chemicals and where they're stored. A second site owned by the company was also cited for safety violations shortly after the spill.
A representative for Freedom Industries told HuffPost that the company would not be commenting on the bankruptcy.
Despite the filings, the U.S. attorney's office in West Virginia told HuffPost that the new development would not have any effect on its ongoing investigation into the leak. Freedom Industries currently owes $3.66 million to its top 20 creditors, including more than $2.4 million in unpaid taxes to the IRS.

When the stars threw down their spears,Stars were less common than other images on 19th-century gravestones here in central Ohio, but now and then I do come upon six-pointed stars, including on the gravestones for Timothy and Lucina Aldrich from my own family tree.
And watered heaven with their tears,
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?

Set in the picturesque Gunpowder Creek valley, this house is a good example of a modest Tudor Revival house of the Depression era, surrounded by outbuildings of the same period. The facade is dominated by a steep gable; the stone porch features segmentally arched spandrels and a crenellated corner post. Near the house stand an original tenant house, chicken coop and barn.
The house was built by Roy C. Lutes, who was a rural mail carrier and Florence Postmaster from 1924 to 1964. According to the current owner, the Lutes family bought the property in 1918 and moved into an extant log house on the site. From 1926 to 1929, Mr. Lutes built the stone house around the original log structure. Although, assisted by a stonemason named Mr. Marks, Mr. Lutes insisted on constructing the window and door arches himself with rocks he collected while delivering the mail in Boone County.

Blood-red Moon
ESA's SMART-1 spacecraft has just made its 278th orbit, in good health and with all functions performing nominally, but its target is expected to turn blood-red in the evening of 4 May!
SMART-1's electric propulsion system (or 'ion drive') is being used now to increase the highest point of SMART-1's orbit to get closer to the Moon.
The ion engine is still performing very well, and its operation was resumed in February after it was switched off for a period of three weeks to allow instrument commissioning activities to take place.
The spacecraft then entered a 'season' of long eclipses, due to the alignment of the Sun and Earth. This was not necessarily a problem except that, when the spacecraft was in the umbra it could not receive light on its solar panels to produce power. Although the power system was tested to the limit, the spacecraft performed excellently.
The eclipse season for SMART-1 is now over but, on Tuesday evening, 4 May 2004, skywatchers throughout Australia, Asia, Europe, Africa and South America will be able to see an total lunar eclipse for themselves. The full Moon will pass through the Earth's shadow, producing a total lunar eclipse.
A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Sun, Earth and Moon form a near-straight line in space, so that the full Moon passes through Earth's shadow. Unlike a solar eclipse, which requires special equipment to observe safely, you can watch a lunar eclipse with the naked eye.
The most impressive part starts when the Moon's leading edge first enters the main shadow (umbra), and the partial eclipse begins. Over the next hour or so, the Moon will slip into darkness. The total eclipse begins when the Moon is fully inside the umbra.
However, the totally eclipsed Moon will not be completely blacked out. It should still be visible as a dark gray or brown-red disk. This colour is caused by sunlight scattered in our atmosphere. Its brightness depends on the amount of dust in Earth's upper atmosphere at the time, which influences how much sunlight filters through.
The total phase of this eclipse will last for more than an hour. For observers in Europe, the Moon will be low in the sky, just above the eastern horizon. The eclipse starts at 19:51 CEST, and ends at 01:09 CEST on 5 May. The total eclipse lasts from 21:52 to 23:08 CEST.

A Look Back at 2013:
It angers me when people complain about the state of film today. Yes, there's an orgiastic onslaught of celluloid and digital excrement shoveled into multiplexes every year…but if 2013 proved anything, it's that art finds a way to survive and quite often thrives in the manure laid across the silver screen. This past year saw both one of the most accessible art films (12 Years a Slave) and one of the most artistic blockbusters (Gravity) of the decade blossom in the verdant soil of cinema. I mean hell, Gravity proved that a money gouging gimmick (3D) utilized in so much of that dross that strangles viewers every year can actually be used in the correct artistic context to add…fancy that…new dimensions to film.
And survival and blossoming in the midst of a shit storm – thematically that's what the year in film was about. Witness surviving: being kidnapped into slavery (12 Years a Slave), outer space calamities (Gravity), adolescence (Mud), young adulthood (Frances Ha), marriage (Before Midnight), the sins of the father (The Place Beyond the Pines), the lonely high seas (All is Lost), Somali pirates (Captain Phillips), and false persecution (The Hunt). Hmmm…they do say that all great stories are essentially the same story, don't they?
