Bruce Roth, Inventor of Lipitor®, to Receive 2013 SCI Perkin Medal
Discoverer of most successful drug in the history of the pharmaceutical industry will be honored at the final event of Innovation Day 2013in Philadelphia.
The Society of Chemical Industry, America International Group, announced today that the 2013 SCI Perkin Medal will be presented to Bruce D. Roth, vice president, Discovery Chemistry at Genentech. He will receive the medal at a dinner in his honor on September 17, 2013, at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Philadelphia.
"Bruce Roth is chemistry's Ten Billion Dollar Man," said Andreas Kramvis, President and CEO of Performance Materials and Technologies, Honeywell International and SCI America chairperson. "In 1985, when he was barely past his 31st birthday, Bruce synthesized atorvastatin and improved life for untold millions around the world. Since that great discovery in 1985, he continues to lead and innovate throughout a long and productive career."
About Bruce D. Roth
Bruce D. Roth began his academic career in Philadelphia, attending St. Joseph's College beginning in 1972 and earning a bachelor of science degree in chemistry in 1976. Then he went to Iowa State University as a doctoral student under George Kraus. After receiving his Ph.D. in organic chemistry from Iowa State University in 1981, he spent a year as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Rochester, then joined Parke-Davis of Warner-Lambert Company as a Medicinal Chemist in 1982. He was promoted to Senior Scientist in 1984 and served in several other leadership roles during the next decade and a half.
In 2000, Roth was appointed Vice President of Chemistry just prior to the merger between Warner-Lambert and Pfizer. In 2007 he joined Genentech in San Francisco, California as Senior Director of Discovery Chemistry.
Roth first synthesized atorvastatin in 1985. For the discovery, he received many prestigious awards including the 1997 Warner-Lambert Chairman's Distinguished Scientific Achievement Award, the 1999 Inventor of the Year Award from the New York Intellectual Property Law Association, the 2005 Iowa State University Distinguished Alumni Award, and the 2006 Pfizer Global Research and Development Achievement Award.
In 2008 Roth returned to Philadelphia for the American Chemical Society (ACS) where he was named a Hero of Chemistry.
In addition to his discovery of atorvastatin, Roth is the inventor or co-inventor of 42 patents and the author or co-author of 48 manuscripts, 35 published abstracts and eight book chapters. He also served as an adjunct professor in the Department of Medicinal Chemistry at the University of Michigan.
He and his wife, Michelle, have four children: David, Sarah, Rebecca and Aaron.
About the SCI Perkin Medal
The annual award is recognized as the highest honor given for outstanding work in applied chemistry in the United States. It commemorates the discovery of the first synthetic dye (the so-called Perkin mauve) by Sir William Henry Perkin in 1856. This discovery was a significant step forward in organic chemistry that led to the birth of a major segment of the chemical industry. The SCI Perkin Medal was first awarded to Sir William at a banquet held by the SCI in New York in 1906. Since then, more than 100 such awards have been given to notable scientists.

DNADeoxyribonucleic acid Molecular biology A double-stranded linear macromolecule which encodes an organism's genetic information
Abbreviation for deoxyribonucleic acid.
DNAAbbrev. for deoxyribonucleic acid. The very long molecule that winds up to form a CHROMOSOME and that contains the complete code for the automatic construction of the body. The molecule has a double helix skeleton of alternating sugars (deoxyribose) and phosphates. Between the two helices, lying like rungs in a ladder, are a succession of linked pairs of the four bases adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine. The molecules of adenine and guanine are larger than thymine and cytosine and so, to keep the rungs of equal length, adenine links only with thymine and guanine only with cytosine. This arrangement allows automatic replication of the molecule. The sequence of bases along the molecule, taken in groups of three (codons), is the genetic code. Each CODON specifies a particular amino acid to be selected, and the sequence of these, in the polypeptides formed, determines the nature of the protein (usually an ENZYME) synthesized. Polypeptide formation occurs indirectly by way of MESSENGER RNA and TRANSFER RNA. Periodicity of DNA is defined as the number of base pairs per turn of the double helix.
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)a complex NUCLEIC ACID molecule found in the chromosomes of almost all organisms, which acts as the primary genetical material, controlling the structure of proteins and hence influencing all enzyme-driven reactions.
- structure. DNA is a polymer of deoxyribonucleotides. The model proposed by WATSON and CRICK in 1953 has now become universally accepted for double-stranded DNA. The DNA is considered to consist of two POLYNUCLEOTIDE CHAINS joined together by hydrogen bonds between NUCLEOTIDE BASES, with COMPLEMENTARY BASE PAIRING between specific bases ensuring a parallel-sided, stable structure: ADENINE pairing with THYMINE (2H bonds) and CYTOSINE with GUANINE (3H bonds).
The two polynucleotide chains each have an opposite polarity due to the way the phosphates are attached to the sugar groups by 3'- 5' PHOSPHODIESTER BONDS. DNA can exist in a number of configurations, of which B-DNA is the predominant form. In this form the molecule is twisted into a right-handed double helix, with a complete turn every tenth base.
- replication (see SEMICONSERVATIVE REPLICATION MODEL). Replication is initiated at the ORIGIN OF REPLICATION. DNA HELICASE enzymes unwind the double-stranded DNA and each parental strand acts as a TEMPLATE for new DNA synthesis. The anti-parallel nature of the double-stranded DNA molecule affects the replication process. The DNA POLYMERASES involved in replication can only add NUCLEOTIDES to the 3'- OH group of a polynucleotide chain, that is, a DNA strand can only be synthesized in the 5'- 3' direction requiring a template running 3'-" 5'. Thus the two newly synthesized strands must grow in different directions. One daughter strand (the leading strand) is synthesized continuously in the 5'- 3' direction. The other daughter strand (the lagging strand) is synthesized discontinuously in fragments (called Okazaki fragments) that have been synthesized in the normal 5'- 3' direction, but the strand grows overall in the 3'-" 5' direction. These fragments are afterwards joined to make a continuous strand. The region in which replication occurs is called the replication fork. In E. coli, replication occurs as follows: the DNA unwinds, SSB protein is laid down on the single strands to stabilize them and to prevent rewinding. An RNA PRIMER initiates DNA synthesis on the leading strand. RNA primers initiate synthesis of each fragment on the lagging strand. These primers are later removed and the gaps left are filled in by the activity of a DNA polymerase. DNA LIGASE then joins the fragments together to form a complete strand.
In eukaryotes, DNA replication occurs in the 'S' phase of the CELL CYCLE prior to nuclear division.
- location. DNA is found in all chromosomes except those of certain viruses (such as tobacco mosaic virus, TMV), where the heritable material is RNA. In PROKARYOTES, DNA is generally in the form of a single coiled molecule in a continuous loop (see NUCLEOID and may also occur as extrachromosomal material in the cytoplasm. In EUKARYOTES the DNA is also highly coiled but is complexed with basic and acidic proteins. There is probably only one very long DNA molecule per chromosome. DNA is also found in CHLOROPLASTS and MITOCHONDRIA of eukaryote cytoplasm (see CYTOPLASMIC INHERITANCE).
- DNA as a genetic material. There are several pieces of evidence to suggest the role of DNA in inheritance: (i) TRANSFORMATION experiments with Streptococcus (Diplococcus) pneumoniae in 1928, by F. GRIFFITH; (ii) the identification of the 'transforming principle' as DNA by AVERY MacLeod and McCarty in 1944; (iii) the fact that the wavelength of ultraviolet light which causes most mutations in various prokaryotes and eukaryotes matches the ABSORPTION SPECTRUM of nucleic acids (260 nm); (iv) HERSHEY and Chase's experiment with labelled BACTERIOPHAGE. DNA has several features which make it an ideal genetic material: great stability (see structure above); accurate replication so that all cells contain an identical copy of information; four nucleotide bases to provide storage of coded information (see GENETIC CODE); it is capable of mutation by altering the base sequence; it may be broken and rejoined to form new genetic combinations (see RECOMBINATION); stored information can be accurately 'read' by other cell molecules (see TRANSCRIPTION).
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)
The abbreviation for "deoxyribonucleic acid," the primary carrier of genetic information found in the chromosomes of almost all organisms. The entwined double structure allows the chromosomes to be copied exactly during cell division.
Mentioned in: Albinism, Cancer Therapy, Definitive, Prader-Willi Syndrome, Radiation Injuries, Retinoblastoma
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)
A type of nucleic acid that constitutes the molecular basis of heredity. It is found principally in the nucleus of all cells where it forms part of the chromosome, or in the cytoplasm of cells lacking a nucleus, such as bacteria. It acts as the carrier of genetic information containing the instructions (code) to make proteins. It consists of two single chains of nucleotides, which are twisted round each other to form a double helix or spiral. The nucleotides contain sugar (deoxyribose), phosphate and the bases (adenine, cytosine, guanine and thymine). The two strands of DNA are held together by hydrogen bonds located between specific pairs of bases (adenine to thymine and cytosine to guanine). The sequence of bases and consequently gene sequence is sometimes altered, causing mutation. Assessment of DNA has found many applications, including forensic science to help identify a perpetrator (a process called genetic fingerprinting), to establish family relationships or the history of a particular population (phylogenetics). See chromosome; gene; inheritance; mutation.

What is LASIK Eye Surgery?
LASIK - Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis - is a type of refractive eye surgery to correct myopia (short-sightedness), hyperopia (long-sightedness) and astigmatism in order to remove the need for glasses or contact lenses. LASIK eye surgery is carried out with a laser to flatten and reshape the cornea.
How is LASIK Surgery carried out?
The eye is kept open with a clip. First the surgeon creates a flap on the cornea, which is pulled aside. The surgeon remodels the cornea beneath the flap using a laser, which removes tiny amounts of corneal tissue. The flap is put back into place where it heals over time.
What are the chances of success with LASIK surgery?
According to Mayo Clinic, 80 percent of patients have effective corrected vision following LASIK surgery.
How long will LASIK Surgery last?
The effects of LASIK surgery are thought to be permanent.
How should you prepare for LASIK Surgery?
You should not wear rigid gas permeable contact lenses for three weeks prior to LASIK surgery and other types of contact lenses for three days prior to the procedure. Don't wear eye make up to the surgery.

Tournament completed! Post an announcement to share updates to your community.
Rookies #32
Sunday, 11th February 2018
hosted by waffeln
This tournament series is for newer and less experienced players to have fun in competing with each other without being demotivated by long-time experienced players (who should participate in the weekly S.N.E.W).
The winners as well as a VOD of the Grand Finals (from the input recording) will all be announced in the Discord. Make sure to check back!
Requirements for entering:
- You cannot have placed 4th or higher in 2 S.N.E.W tournaments with 10 or more participants. Read further down below for more information.
- You must be in the European PM Discord.
Dave's Stupid Rule is active.
- You must check in before the tournament starts.
- All matches are player on Project M Netplay v4 (current SmashLadder default).
- Matches are played with 4 stocks with 8 minutes limit and without items.
These stages are the starters andthese are the counterpicks.
The arrangement is different between v3 and v4, remember the right stages!
Further rules:
- Stage banning is 1-2-1 for the first game, after that the winner bans 2 stages including counter pick stages. Remember that the loser cannot go to a stage they have previously won on (Dave's Stupid Rules) unless both players agree. The player who bans first is determined by both choosing Game & Watch and using the Side-B (Judgement). The player with the higher number bans first.
- All games are Best-Of-3 (whoever gets 2 sets wins the match) up until Winners Semis (Semifinals) and Losers Finals where it's Best-Of-5 (whoever gets 3 sets wins the match)
- As usual everyone in bracket can lose one match without being out. So keep in mind that the Grand Finalist coming from Winners Side has to be defeated in two matches in order for the Finalist from the losers side to win the tournament.
- If you pause the game you must forfeit your current stock.
- Record Grand Finals inputs.
If you never played in a S.N.E.W just try it out! If you don't want to, we'll judge if you fit into Rookies by the estimation of your free-play opponents or past tournament history. We can't let you take part in the tournament if nobody can rate your skill level, so find some people to play with: European PM Discord (S.N.E.W)

Eames enthusiasts rejoiced last month when the Eames Shell Chair became available, once again, in it's original form material: fiberglass. Hooray! We at grshop.com joined in the celebration too - we are so pleased to offer these classic chairs in all 8 vintage colours, with wire, dowel or rocker base options.
The Shell Chair was originally designed in fiberglass but was suspended by Herman Miller and Ray Eames in the 80's due to the material's negative environmental impact and non-recyclable nature. The chair was then introduced in plastic in 2000. Thanks to modern technology and Herman Miller's relentless commitment to the highest environmental standards, they have found a way to bring it back - VOC free! Hooray again!
Why are people so very happy about this material making a comeback? Quite simply... it's beautiful. There are a lot of other reasons why the fiberglass is so well loved. It's the classic look, it has a great vintage flair, it has wonderful visual texture, it's a material "of the people." Charles and Ray Eames wanted to make products that were made of industrial, common materials and marry them with immaculate design... and this chair is a fabulous example of that goal achieved to the fullest.
Available in 8 sophisticated colours with vintage charm, the Eames Molded Shell Chair is also available with upholstery to add another layer of awesomeness.
Visit grshop.com today and decide which colour is for you.

Dear Johnnie: I purchased a booklet of coupons to support a local high school team and it includes several for Cilantro Mary in Longmont. I cannot find the restaurant. When I look online, I can only find the old Cilantro Mary in Lyons, now closed. Is there a Cilantro Mary in Longmont? Thanks, Johnnie! — KD
Dear KD: There never was a Cilantro Mary in Longmont, and the Cilantro Mary in Lyons closed more than two years ago.
Of course, you are aware of this already, because I contacted you directly with a follow-up question. But there is more to this story.
I called Great American Opportunities in Nashville, the publisher of the book, to ask how a restaurant that closed so long ago could end up in a coupon book purchased recently.
Ella Anderson, a team leader in Great American's customer care department, was kind enough to track down the answer.
Anderson told me that these coupon books — specifically, these are "brochures" with fold-out discount cards — are planned months in advance. "That specific rep and sponsor had discussed what they wanted on the card," Anderson said. "We made those calls last July."
Mead High band director Joshua Kirkwood told me that Great American put the list of vendors together and contacted each of them to confirm the coupons.
"We research that, get the phone number and call," Anderson said. "Apparently, when we called, this new merchant kept the same phone number."
That's the Lyons Fork, which occupies the building in Lyons that once was Cilantro Mary. It has the same phone number, also.
Since the number is active and takes the caller to a restaurant, a misunderstanding followed. I don't have the specifics about how, but the representative thought that Cilantro Mary was open.
"When (the brochure) was printed, it was printed with the wrong city." Anderson said. "… The Internet had the restaurant tied to that city. The person who called did not verify the city."
I'm not sure if the GA representative used Facebook, but a Cilantro Mary search on that site shows it having a Longmont address — 450 Main St. That just happens to be the address of the Lyons Fork, in Lyons.
KD, I know that you weren't writing to complain either about the fundraising effort or the company that published the brochures. Both were eager to help me get to the bottom of it. And Anderson surprised me with the following:
Anyone who bought the Mead High School Band coupon brochure with the intention of using the Cilantro Mary card may call 1-800-881-5273 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. CST weekdays to arrange for a $20 refund. You would need to provide your name, address and phone number. You would still get to keep the discount brochure.

Briggs Ranch Real Estate
Briggs Ranch is centrally located in Folsom, just west of Empire Ranch and close to Highway 50. It is one of many neighborhoods in the area, all running into one another, however Briggs Ranch was built in the late '80s and '90s, giving it more time to establish and cultivate its lush trees and parks.
The homes range in size and style (all are well-kept and cared for) and sit on wide, slightly rolling streets. Lots in Briggs Ranch are slightly larger than some of the newer developments, and residents have made the most of their yards, incorporating a variety of foliage and landscaping, along with tree swings, and basketball hoops – creating an ideal enclave for families.
The neighborhood encompasses three parks, as well as Folsom Hills Elementary School. The FIDO Dog Park is just a few blocks south past Blue Ravine Road. This entire area features an abundance of schools and parks, and can be easily navigated through uncongested streets and miles of bike lanes and unpaved paths meandering through the area.
A number of shopping centers are conveniently located just a few blocks away on East Natoma Street – featuring grocery stores, spas, bistros, bagel shops, and the posh Back Wine Bar. Not far from Briggs Ranch is the Palladio, with fine dining, shops, and a 16-screen movie theatre. Also nearby are the Folsom Zoo, Folsom Outlets, Folsom Sports Complex and Folsom Aquatic Center.
Commuters love the fact that Sacramento is minutes away, but Folsom boasts Intel, one of the county's largest private employers. The research and development campus is one of Intel's largest sites. Its design and construction flow seamlessly with the area's landscape and surrounding community.

Cooper Tire Reviews
I have had these tires for about 8,000 moles and they still look new. They pull really good I had a set of Firestone destination AT'S on the truck before and would have to lock it in 4H just to get up my driveway now I just ease on up. The traction in the snow is amazing, never had to lock it in 4x4. I just love these tires so far, still wondering what type of wear I will get and haven't had it in deep mud so can't report on mud pulling, light clayish mud they have been excellent. Getting ready to put a set on my Cargo Van here very soon.
Seriously great tires. Better than my old Blizzaks were in snow/ice. Yet you get 50k miles for warranty. It's awesome! The lack a hair of wet traction and dry traction, but I only believe this is due to my open differential rear end on a truck. I'm sure they would be more than fine if you had a locked rear diff. Even so they still drive very predictably and make nearly zero road noise. I've never been so impressed with a set of tires. Very glad I made the purchase. I'm at about 6k miles and they seem to be wearing very evenly and at the normal rate. I can hardly tell any tread is missing yet. You won't be disappointed in these tires. It's winter tires you can run all season.
Only reviews I could find were some videos of a Canadian tire seller on youtube doing reviews and they loved the tire as much as I do.
I have put two sets of these tires on my Ford Ranger, both were bald within one year an less than 20000 miles! They do provide great traction, I was sure footed all winter, yet it still doesn't make up for needing to buy a new set of tires every year.
I was recommended this tire by a friend that lives at 8000 ft in the rockies.I was not disappointed . I live on a very steep drive the tires hold well in pow on incline but they eat up the the snow on flat land as for ice great breaking and cornering long as your driving 09 gmc 4x4
I know that is a bold statement and I stand by it. I put these tires on my f350 that I use for landscaping and to plow snow on Vancouver Island. Terrain here is hilly and this has been the worst snow year in a long time. These tires have way out performed the last two sets I have used. The other two sets were snow and ice specific and way more expensive. I haven't had to chain up once this year and my confidence in these tires has made my job a lot easier. I will be buying these tires again!
These tires have been on for almost two years. One full winter and two half winters on a Jeep Grand Cherokee All Wheel Drive.
With approximately 20'000 miles (32'000 kms) on these tires, wear is limited.
The vehicle using 235/80R17 tires pulls a 5'000 pound trailer with a 450 pound tongue weight in the summer and has put 3'000 miles (5'000 kms) in temperatures of up to 40 degrees.
Winter traction is excellent, and no real problem with snow. The closed lugs do not clear as well as an open lug, but the tire does very well to clean itself.
Ice is certainly not as good as Michelin X-ice for example, but this is an all around A/TW. For areas that require the winter mountain snowflake this is a great option. Stopping distances are to be monitored depending on conditions.
Used off-road in mud and on rock, this tire does very well. Have used it aired down to 12 pounds and it is fantastic climbing up smooth rock without turning a tire. In Heavy wet mud it does not compare to a M/T, but again it is an A/TW.
This tire has great deflection, solid sidewalls, and is a great option for those that will be covering all seasons and need a strong work tire.
Its heavy sidewall construction (for a LT tire) make for a firm ride, and is more comfortable with lower psi, or weight in the vehicle. That being said it will handle high pressures well, and we regularly run at 60 psi when towing.
After reading the Consumer review, I had a new set of Cooper Discover AT/W, 245/ 75-16E installed my 2004 Tacoma 4wd before driving up from San Jose, CA to Lake Tahoe/ Reno area for the weekend on Jan. 19, 2017 and was absulutely impressed by these tires! Jan 2017 is a record year for Snow in the Sierras, this weekend storm is one of 3 which I'm facing driving through HWY80. So far these tires grip through deep snow and plowed roads. There is a hum, music to my ears at speeds on dry roads which I'm used too with all AT tires I've had on the past and my friends barely noticed with the radio on. So far this All Terrain rated tire had the best winter grip I've used, better than Goodyear Silent Armor, BFG KO2s, and Duelers. Can't wait to drive these through mud and rocks at Hollister, CA and Moab in May!
I just drove into work on new wet snow, slush and snow over ice on the side streets without a bit of worry. The tire tracks very well through the slush at highway speed, has pulled up a steep driveway that was packed and refrozen snow (boiler plate as it is called), and easily pulled through six to eight inches of snow during a recent storm. A lot of tires will do that in a straight line but these tires take you around corners without breaking a sweat. The only time I had a bit of panic was on an ice covered road where I went into a corner too fast, like 25 MPH, and only studs would have gripped.
We spent almost two week in the back country of Wyoming last summer and there was nothing we threw at these tires that they couldn't handle. Rocks, loose dirt, mud, stream crossings... all good. I don't think these would perform well in deep mud, but the light mud covered fire road and the muddy field we traversed were no problem at all.
Tire wear has been above average and in 20,000 miles they look great. I have not measured them so that is on looks alone.
Very little highway noise that I can hear over the Jeep's diesel engine, and the wind noise from the roof rack.
Great tires and they will be on my next adventure vehicle.
I got the LT ATWs because because they were a little higher and the tread was a couple 32nds deeper. I love the tires driving here in northern MN in Winter. The tires are a little loud after about 60 MPH but it's not an annoying sound But the traction on hard packed snow and ice is super. I researched tires for weeks to put on my 2010 Chev 4X4. I take an Icey turn and I purposely try to slide in the turns but these tires hold solid. The lugs and grooves are really much larger than the advertising pictures show. It's a tire compound ahead of its time. This new tire compound can be used year round and the tire has a 50K warranty
I had these installed on my 2014 Ram Power Wagon to replace the off road tires that came on it, which were great off road but terrible on snow and ice. Right now we are in the midst of our first major snow and ice storm up here in frozen North Dakota and these tires are fantastic, great traction and braking on ice and compacted snow, also much quieter than the other tires, couldn't be more pleased.
These tires were great in the snow and a quiet ride on the freeway. I've put right about 20k miles on them with regular rotations and balance and they're down to 6/32". They're currently installed on an unmodified TOYOTA Tundra with OEM sizing. I'm not happy with the wear at all to say the least. They were less expensive than the TOYO Open Country A/T II I had on previously, but looks like I'm heading back to TOYO's. Wish they had better wear.
Living in North Dakota we are guaranteed two things - ice and snow!
I've been though a plethora of tires on my trucks, from the AT3, BFG KO, Goodyears and Falkens - NOTHING HAS BEAT THE ATW for snow performance yet!!!
I have just over 10K on these tires and they are showing no signs of wear, on a 2009 Silverado Crew Cab 1500. I went from sliding everywhere on ice to feeling like I had studded tires, these are phenomenal!
I'm purchasing a new truck this summer and having the dealer install these tires before I take delivery, I think they are that great!!!
Snow performance - I fish Devils Lake and drive my truck out there; I will hit pockets of snow greater than 2' deep - these tires pulled right through without concern.
Ice performance - My Wild Peak AT's slid all over the place; put these on and the same road on the same day and I felt like I was driving on pavement.
Road noise - these are quieter than the Wild Peaks but will have slightly more noise than a factory tire.
Gas mileage - I saw an increase from my Wild Peaks of approximately 1.5 MPG (275/60R20) which isn't much off of "factory" mileage.
The compound is a little softer but I noticed no negatives to this, I will say winter driving conditions warrant this tire over the AT3 anyday!

Adel, GA - Patients from the Cook County area in need of dialysis treatment now have greater access to quality care, thanks to a new 21-station U.S. Renal Care facility at 701 North Hutchinson Avenue in Adel. City officials, area hospital leaders, patients and physicians gathered today to mark the opening of the facility.
"This is a great opportunity for patients like me to experience even more of what U.S. Renal Care has to offer, like access to the very best treatment and technology—all in a comforting environment close to home," said Nashville resident Margaret Foster. "Knowing how much they care gives me the peace of mind to focus on the more important things in life."
The new center replaces the U.S. Renal Care facility at 203 Robinson Street, less than a half-mile away from the new location. The Hutchinson Avenue center represents U.S. Renal Care's commitment to continually raising the standard of care for patients across the country. Here, patients will have access to an entire team of dedicated professionals including dieticians, social workers, and nurses who will provide patients and their families with the support and resources they need to stay on a healthy path during treatment.
Dr. Arunas Urbonas, a nephrologist who has been treating patients in the area for nearly a decade, will serve as the facility's Medical Director. "At U.S. Renal Care our top priority is providing the best care possible to area patients." said Dr. Urbonas. "This new facility will be easily accessible, conveniently located, and will offer a compassionate support team to provide patients with the critical care they need."
The Adel facility will help meet the rising demand for dialysis services in the Cook County area. For example, the number of people diagnosed with diabetes, which is one of the leading causes of kidney failure, has risen 145% in Georgia since 1995, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Beyond offering world-class care, the U.S. Renal Care clinic in Adel is the first "green" clinic in Southeast Georgia. The center was constructed with environmentally friendly materials aimed at increasing energy efficiency while reducing carbon emissions. Solar panels on the facility's roof will provide 60% of the required energy needed to power the clinic.

Welcome to the dusting off and resumption of "Watching old Avalanche games", kind of the PG hockey version of "Dave's Old Porn." As I said in my first installment (gulp) five years ago, call it "time capsule beat reporting." About six years ago, a gift of about 500 Avalanche games from the past – all on VHS – was given to me as a gift. So, when I play them here, it's for the first time ever that I've actually seen the broadcast. Most or all of these games, I was in the press box, not watching on TV.
To steal from Bill Simmons, I'll keep something of a running diary of the game here, and tell stories. I mean, I'm old enough now where "telling stories about the past" is something I probably will have to start doing more and more. Today's contest: April 18, 1999, Dallas Stars at Colorado. This game has some significance for one good reason: it was the final regular-season hockey game ever at McNichols Sports Arena.

Santiago's rough first too much against Buchholz

CHICAGO -- White Sox starter Hector Santiago grimaced.
With runners on first and third and one out in the first inning, he threw a perfectly good slider to Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz only to have him reach out with his bat and poke the ball into left field for a two-run single.View Full Game Coverage
"I think that's the best slider I've thrown all year, the first one for a strike," Santiago said. "I kind of made my pitch and he just kind of threw his bat. You kind of expect something like that, hopefully just not in that situation. He's a good hitter, he just laid the bat out and placed it perfect."
Ortiz's single was the difference in Boston's 6-2 win over Chicago in Wednesday's series finale at U.S. Cellular Field, spoiling the South Siders' chance at their first series sweep.
Santiago calls himself a Swiss Army knife, alluding to the different roles his arm can fill as a starter or out of the bullpen. On Wednesday, the White Sox needed him to throw in Chris Sale's spot after the ace was scratched because of mild tendinitis in his shoulder. Santiago threw 80 pitches in Anaheim on Saturday, but the left-hander said he felt fine during warmups despite getting the call on just four days' rest.
"It was a regular day," Santiago said. "It was just the first few innings were a little tough, that first inning especially. I just grinded it out and just tried to battle and make pitches."
It took Santiago 29 pitches to get through that first inning, but he settled down and blanked Boston for the next five innings. Before the game, White Sox manager Robin Ventura warned that Santiago might be due for a short outing because he had been bumped up a day.
After the first inning, the chances of that happening seemed to increase. But Santiago only needed 78 pitches to get through the next five innings, allowing just three hits and finishing with nine strikeouts. Santiago had planned for a long outing the whole night with his primary goal to preserve the bullpen. He even said he wanted to throw the seventh inning despite already totaling 107 pitches.
"You weren't really expecting it, but he started getting a little stronger as he got in there," Ventura said. "There was a couple innings where you think he wasn't going to make it --- I think it was the fourth --- and he gets through it. Then he was basically hitter to hitter and got stronger."
But the White Sox offense, which had scored nine runs in the first two games of the series, couldn't help Santiago's cause. Chicago had its opportunity to score, but stranded runners at second base in the first and third innings. Alex Rios drove in the White Sox only meaningful run on a groundout to short in the third inning, sending catcher Tyler Flowers home from third. The right fielder also extended his hitting streak to 17 games, the longest run in the American League this season, with a single in the sixth.
For most of the night, however, the timely hitting the White Sox displayed during the first two games of the series was nonexistent. Chicago knocked in all of its runs on Monday and Tuesday with two outs but Wednesday reverted back to its struggles from the seven-game road trip, when the White Sox hit .212 with runners in scoring position in Minneapolis and Anaheim.
A good deal of credit for the cooling bats belongs to Red Sox starter Clay Buchholz, who entered Wednesday's start with a 6-0 record and an American League-leading 1.78 ERA in nine starts and only improved on those numbers. The right-hander twirled seven innings, allowed five hits and remained unbeaten on the season.
"He had to pitch around some men on base," Red Sox manager John Farrell said of Buchholz. "He continued to take his time and make quality pitches. He put a number of balls on the ground that, for whatever reason, whether it was the soft grounds, didn't have the pace that normally are turned to double plays that might have prevented some of that pitch count that got up there."
After Wednesday's game, The White Sox announced that John Danks will make his first start of the season on Friday. Danks' return to the rotation calls Santiago's immediate future into question. He and right-handed starter Dylan Axelrod have been competing for the fifth spot in the rotation since Danks went on the disabled list, and a decision on who remains in the rotation will be made on Friday. Axelrod pitched valiantly on Monday, allowing two runs on four hits in six innings. Although he was saddled with the loss, Santiago one-upped Axelrod on Wednesday with a similar line on short rest.
"With Danks coming back, I don't know what's happening," Santiago said. "I'm going to be ready for anything and have every role. If I'm going to be back in the 'pen or back starting, I'm just going to be waiting for them to tap me on the shoulder and be like, 'Hey go out there and get them.'"
Spoken like a true Swiss Army knife, though Santiago did defend his starting resume by saying he thought his only bad start was the one on Saturday, when he lasted just three innings in Anaheim and surrendered three runs.
White Sox first baseman Paul Konerko launched a solo homer off Andrew Bailey in the ninth to cap off a 2-for-4 day and move into a tie with Mike Piazza for 44th place on the all-time home runs list with 427.
The late effort wasn't enough to back Santiago, especially after the Red Sox tacked on a pair of runs off the White Sox bullpen in the eighth on a sac fly to right and a passed ball that got by Flowers with the bases loaded. Daniel Nava then plated two more with a two-out single in the ninth with the bases loaded to break open the game.
But Santiago made his statement, and now Ventura has to figure out which blade to pull.
"It's tough but that's part of being in baseball," Ventura said. "You got to do what's best for us. We'll figure that out Friday."

Withered Heath
The Withered Heath was a dragon-infested valley in the eastern Grey Mountains in northern Rhovanion.
The Withered Heath was a long narrow valley in the eastern part of the Grey Mountains, where they forked into two thin ranges.[1][2] On the floor of this long east-west valley between the mountains was a heath, but a heath burned and blackened by its inhabitants. This Withered Heath was famed and feared in the north of Middle-earth as the breeding-ground of the dragons.[3] At one time they had infested the Grey Mountains and the lands beyond, and even in the closing decades of the Third Age, the Dragon Smaug still terrorised the inhabitants of the north.[4] Smaug was the last of the great dragons, but we know that other lesser members of his kind remained, so perhaps these still returned to the Withered Heath to continue their race.
Other version of the legendarium
In the manuscript of The Hobbit, Bladorthin (the pre-cursor to Gandalf) says that the Withered Heath is "where the Great Dragons used to live".[5]

Soy & Cancer PreventionJuly 2004
By Edward R. Rosick, DO, MPH, MS
For the past decade, a controversy has raged over whether people can reduce their risk of cancer by increasing their consumption of soy foods and soy supplements. In response to the debate, a number of studies were initiated in the 1990s to ascertain soy's effects on human health.
Over the last year, the results of these studies began to be released. While ignored by the mainstream media, the startling findings indicate that prostate and breast cancer risk could be cut in half if people only consumed more soy.
Prevention Key to Halting the Epidemic
One of every two American men will develop cancer in his lifetime, as will one of every three American women. Despite billions of research dollars spent, the epidemic of cancer continues.
A small but growing number of leading cancer researchers—such as Dr. Samuel S. Epstein, head of the National Cancer Prevention Coalition—are calling for a major change in how the federal government fights cancer.
Epstein and other advocates of cancer prevention emphasize that cancer is a multistage disease that is amenable to prevention in its earliest stages of development. One of the most widely available means of cancer prevention—yet generally overlooked by major cancer organizations and mainstream medicine—is the use of natural chemopreventive agents.
More than 250 case-control and cohort studies have been conducted on natural chemopreventive agents such as those found in fruits and vegetables. The data from these studies are overwhelming and irrefutable: the greater the consumption of fruits and vegetables, the lower the incidence of cancer. A recent article on cancer chemoprevention summarized these data as follows:
"Numerous components found in fruits and vegetables might contribute to their ability to reduce the risk of cancer, including dietary fiber, micronutrients, and various phytochemicals . . . the biomedical community needs to recognize and advocate approaches to prevent cancer [such as the use of natural chemopreventive agents] with the same enthusiasm that it currently directs toward treating it."1
Soy: A Powerful Chemopreventive Agent
Significant interest in using soy and its isoflavone constituents as cancer chemoprotective agents began in the 1990s. Studies conducted in Asia found that Asian women, who consume many more isoflavones than American women, have significantly lower risks of developing breast cancer.3 Because animal studies have shown that a diet high in soy and genistein isolate can protect against mammary, colon, and skin tumors,4 it seemed reasonable to think that soy could also help prevent human cancers, and in particular, breast cancer. Yet many mainstream medical practitioners remain skeptical that something as "simple" as soy could have such a profound effect on human health.
Soy, Estrogen, and Breast Cancer
In fact, soy isoflavones do not simply act as "natural" estrogens. Soy isoflavones are correctly classified as selective estrogen receptor modulators. Due to their unique molecular structure, soy isoflavones can act as either estrogen receptor agonists or receptor blockers. With this ability, soy isoflavones are thought by many to confer the beneficial effects of estrogen without its potentially dangerous side effects, especially in hormonally sensitive tissues found in both the breast and endometrium.5,6
Numerous studies show the potential benefits to women of incorporating soy in their diets to help prevent breast cancer. A landmark 1991 case-control study of women in Singapore, involving 200 case subjects and 420 control subjects, found that women with the highest consumption of soy-based products had a markedly decreased risk of developing breast cancer.7 An even larger Japanese case-control study in 1995, involving 1,186 subjects and 23,163 controls, also showed that women with increased tofu (soybean curd) intake had a significantly decreased risk of developing breast cancer compared to women who consumed small amounts of soy-based products such as tofu.8 Finally, a recent and very large population-based, prospective study of 21,852 Japanese women aged 40-59 found that women with the highest intake of soy isoflavones reduced their risk of breast cancer by up to 54% compared to women with the lowest intake of soy isoflavones.9
Despite the evidence-based research showing soy isoflavones' preventive effects on breast cancer, along with epidemiological studies highlighting the much lower rates of breast cancer among Asian women who consume significant amounts of soy-based products, some doctors still caution women against using soy-based foods and supplements. They contend that because soy isoflavones have been labeled as estrogen "mimics," they could potentially worsen or even cause breast cancer. With the current knowledge that soy isoflavones act as selective estrogen receptor modulators and are not simply estrogen "mimics," these arguments simply do not hold up. As the authors of a recent study of soy isoflavones stated:
"Recommendations to avoid soy foods now being given by many health professionals to these patients [women with breast cancer] are not based on any clinical evidence to support this advice . . . the fact that an isoflavone like genistein acts more like a [selective estrogen receptor modulator] than an estrogen should be the basis for believing that soy foods [and supplements] are more likely to be beneficial for breast cancer treatment and prevention."10
In addition to being a chemoprotective supplement for breast cancer, soy isoflavones also are thought to be effective in warding off other types of cancer that afflict women, including endometrial cancer. A recent case-control study reported the effects of soy isoflavones and other phytoestrogens on the risk of developing endometrial cancer.11 The study compared 500 women aged 35-79 who developed endometrial cancer between 1996 and 1999 to 470 age-and ethnicity-matched controls. As in studies examining the effects of isoflavones on breast cancer, this study showed that women who had a higher intake of soy isoflavones had a significantly lower risk of developing endometrial cancer. Even more interesting was that the levels of isoflavones needed to provide protection against endometrial cancer were found to be much lower than the amount believed necessary to protect against breast cancer.

The good news about this clip from a 1999 episode of Inside the Actors Studio is that you get to see young Bradley Cooper as a second year acting student with an amazing Shawn Hunter haircut. The bad news is that you have to sit through over two minutes of Sean Penn talking. Up to you if it's worth it.

Don't Grant Waiver For Bloomberg Schools Chancellor, Ms. Black
While Ms. Black may be an accomplished businesswoman, New York City Public Schools are not businesses, nor are our children products or commodities.
[Comment: NY State]
Dear Commissioner David M. Steiner,
New York State Education Commissioner
It has come to my attention that Mayor Michael Bloomberg is in the process of appointing Magazine Executive Cathie Black to replace Joel
Klein, who stepped down as Chancellor of the NYC Department of Education.
I have also learned that Cathie Black (like Joel Klein when he was appointed) does not meet the New York State Education Department's (NYSED's) required minimum of education and experience to become Chancellor. Thus, she will need a waiver from NYSED before the
appointment is official.This is is outrageous and unacceptable. I am writing to urge you to refuse a waiver.
While Ms. Black may be an accomplished businesswoman, New York City Public Schools are not businesses, nor are our children products or
commodities. Our children deserve to have a qualified and experienced professional with a successful track record of commitment and competency in developing educated, well rounded, and high achieving students. The importance of these kinds of credentials is evident in the failure of the unqualified Joel Klein with our schools. Eight years of his tenure has left classrooms still overcrowded, a curriulum that has little or no
cultural relevance to the student demographic (primarily Black and Latino students), communities fighting over co-located charter schools,
unreliable school grades based on unreliable data, no-bid school contracts, our children starved of science, art and music and replaced
with excessive test preparation, questions surrounding the manipulation of testing and test scores, and many other serious issues.
We cannot repeat this gross injustice to our children, parents, unions, and teachers.
The process by which Bloomberg selected Ms. Black was disrespectful; it was not open to public input - yet Bloomberg seeks NYSED, a public state agency, to grant a waiver. Once again, I urge that you do not grant this waiver and thus accept nothing less than the excellence that our
children and our city deserve.
Sincerely, Charles Barron
Councilman Barron will also hold a Press Conference regarding this issue on: Thursday November 11th, 12 noon Steps of City Hall, New York City
"Speaking Truth To Empower."

When you're stumped, when you can't figure out what wine to serve with a picnic, barbecue or casual summer supper, try rosé. It's as close as there is to an all-purpose wine.
In France they drink it with ratatouille, roast chicken and cassoulet.
In Italy they drink it with chicken, veal, seafood and pasta. In Spain they drink it with squid salad, manchego cheese, spicy shrimp, grilled chorizo and Serrano ham.
In America we drink it with tuna salad, takeout pork from Pollo Tropical and good old-fashioned barbecue, from pulled pork to deeply smoked ribs.
It's delicate enough to drink by itself, crisp and tart when well-chilled to beat the summer heat. It's crisp enough to cut through fatty dishes and rich and fruity enough to handle spicy food. And it's cheap.
Well, a lot of it is.
Rosé can be made with any red grape. The wines in the list below are made of cabernet sauvignon, pinot noir, gamay, grenache, cinsault, syrah, tempranillo, pinot meunier, corvina, rondinella and molinara. Even the white Italian grape called cortese.
It can be made in two ways … both based on the fact that even the juice of red grapes is white. A deep, dark cabernet sauvignon gets its inky hue from long contact of the juice with the red skins after crushing. Pour the juice off earlier … sometimes within hours of crushing … and you have rosé. The other way is to add just a bit of red wine to wine from a white grape like the Italian cortese or the French chardonnay just before bottling.
The epitome of rosé wines is rosé champagne … tinted from pale salmon to deep cherry red, with pinprick bubbles rising through them and the flavor and scent of fresh flowers.
We drink that with everything.
· 2009 Jaboulet "Parallele 45" Rosé , Cotes du Rhone, France (grenache, cinsault, syrah): spicy black cherry and mineral aromas and flavors, crisp and tart; $12.
· Nonvintage Pommery Rosé Champagne, Reims, France (chardonnay, pinot noir, pinot meunier): tiny, long-lasting bubbles, pale strawberry hue, aromas of roses, flavors of yeast and ripe peaches; $60.
· 2009 Pascal Jolivet "Attitude" Rosé Pinot Noir, Loire Valley, France (pinot noir, gamay, cabernet sauvignon): light and lively, crisp and fruity, with tart cherry flavors, tart finish; $16.

Below are sample letters and reasons to join IFT, for you to send to prospective members. Please edit as needed.
Dear [NAME],
I think I've mentioned to you before that I belong to the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT).
IFT is the largest food science-related organization in the world, and it's the place where everyone from the food profession comes together. There are professionals like us, as well those involved in: food science, R&D professionals, chemists, microbiologists, QA/QC folks, regulatory affairs experts, academics, brand managers, marketing, technical sales, and executive management, just to name a few.
I can't begin to tell you what a valuable resource IFT has been for making professional contacts and advancing my career. I've met some really wonderful people that I probably wouldn't have gotten to know if it weren't for my involvement in IFT. It's also been a great source for unbiased information on what's going on in the food industry.
If you have a moment, check it out by visiting ift.org. If you'd like to talk with me about my personal experience with IFT, give me a call or drop me an e-mail when you get a chance.
Thanks![YOUR NAME]
I just wanted to follow up with you on our conversation about IFT. As you could probably tell, I think it's a great organization for food professionals like us.
There are more narrowly focused organizations out there, and they certainly have value. But for people like us who have to understand what's going on in more than just our specific area of the food industry, nothing beats IFT.
If you haven't had a chance to check out their website (ift.org) yet, I'd encourage you to see what's there. And if you want to talk more about why I'm such an advocate of IFT, just give me a call or send me an e-mail.
Talk to you soon,[YOUR NAME]

That's why astronomers are excited about a captivating new discovery: a face-on, full-fledged spiral galaxy that's a staggering 10.7 billion light years away meaning the image is 10.7 billion years old. That dates back to a time when all other known galaxies were still in their nascent, clumpy stages. This one, by contrast, has the defined spiral arms no one thought could exist just three billion years after the Big Bang.
"It's not as big and beautiful as the spirals you'd see in the modern universe because we don't have as much resolution on it," says astrophysicist David Law, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Toronto, "but it's something we never expected to find 10.7 billion light years away. It's just incredible that we can see so much detail at that distance and that time in history."
The galaxy, generically labeled BX442 and described in the July 19 issue of Nature, was actually discovered years ago, but it was not until 2011 that astronomers got a good look at it. That was when Law and four other astronomers were combing through images from a Hubble Space Telescope survey of more than 300 galaxies and spotted one with an unusual spiral shape in a part of the sky that should be home to no such thing. They first assumed they had made an error calculating the galaxy's distance from Earth or that after they had viewed so many galaxies, their minds had simply created a false spiral pattern from two disk-shaped galaxies that happened to line up just right.
Then late last year, using a spectrograph at the Keck II telescope atop Hawaii's dormant Mauna Kea volcano, the researchers analyzed light streaming in from the entire region of space in which the galaxy is situated. The ultra-sensitive spectrograph diced the starlight 3,600 pieces, revealing precise changes in its wavelength the so-called Doppler shift that helps investigators pinpoint how far away an object is and how fast it's retreating from Earth. That confirmed that BX442 was indeed as distant as it seemed to be.
In order to confirm that the galaxy was truly the spiral shape that the Hubble image suggested it was, Law and his colleagues had to play with light another way. Ordinarily an object that's nearly 11 billion light years away is hopelessly blurred in ground-based telescopes because Earth's atmosphere jiggles incoming light at a rate reaching several thousand times per seconds. The Keck, however, is equipped with small actuators on the back of a deformable mirror, allowing the reflective surface to be bent and adjusted at the exact same rate, canceling out the atmospheric distortion. That gave researchers a very Hubble-like peek at BX442 and the spiral arms popped into view.
But how did the galaxy grow up so fast? Galaxies spin for the same reason the Earth does: angular momentum that imparts a permanent rotation as primal dust contracts into discrete bodies. That motion, all by itself, can help give a galaxy shape. But so too does the gravitational interplay of the billions of individual bodies that make up the galaxy at least usually. However, Law and his colleagues believe that BX442 is so thick that random motions within it would overcome those sculpting forces. Instead, BX442 relied on something else: a companion dwarf galaxy situated close enough to have a gravitational influence of its own.
Law believes the unnamed companion, which appears as a tiny blob in images and is only about 2 percent of BX442's mass, is exerting enough of a gravitational effect to form the spirals. "In the modern universe, that tidal effect seems to be a mechanism for producing the most eye-popping 'grand design' spirals, and that's exactly what we're seeing with BX442," he says. "It's probably telling us the importance of mergers in helping produce or at least accentuate the spiral structure we see in galaxies." The Milky Way too is attended by a dwarf galaxy, which may have played a formative similar role.
The work on BX442 is not done. Law hopes to collect additional images using a variety of filters and wavelengths, which would help reveal the composition of the galaxy's stars and enable astronomers to look even further into its past determining for example, how much earlier its central bulge formed than its surrounding disk. That's a puzzle that lies at the heart of galactic formation, but also one that's hard to test. "In this case," says Law, "we'll be able to see the ages of the stars in different regions, how the stars have different chemistries, and [thus] how much earlier the bulge formed."
All that makes BX442 a Rosetta Stone for galaxy formation, if only for a short time. "If we've found one then there's probably a bunch of others that we haven't found," Law says. Until they do turn up, BX442 is one of a kind shedding a new light on the dim past of all its galactic kin.

In this page fraction
word problems 8 we are going to see practice problem in the topic
fraction and you can find the solution for this problem with detailed
steps and explanation. fraction word problems 8
(i) Before adding or subtracting any two or three fractions first we need to consider the denominator of the fractions.
(ii) If the denominators are same,we can put only one denominator and we can add or subtract the numerator.
(iii) If we have different denominators, we should take L.C.M of the fraction and we need change them as same.Then we can add or subtract.
(iv) For multiplying two fractions we do not have to consider the denominators.We should multiply numerator with numerator and denominator with denominator.
Question :
How many half-liter bottles can be filled from a can containing 37 ½ liter of milk?
Basic idea:
Here we have 37 ½ liter of milk.Now we need to find the half liter bottles can be filled.For that we have to use the concept of division.We need to divide the total quantity of milk by quantity of milk that each person get.In this way we will get the final answer.
Solution :
Total quantity of milk = 37 ½ liter
Number of half liters to be filled = 37 ½ ÷ (1/2)
Now we have to convert this mixed fraction as improper fraction.
= (74+1)/2 ÷ (1/2)
= (75/2) ÷ (1/2)
Now we are changing the division as multiplication.So that we are going to change the second fraction as its reciprocal. fraction word problems 8
= (75/2) x (2/1)
Here we have 2 in both numerator and denominator.So it will get canceled.Finally we are getting 75.
= 75
Number of bottles required = 75 fraction word problems 8 fraction word problems 8

If you think that you have information regarding Miles Davis and his music that should be part of a 2nd edition, don't hesitate to
All information like corrections, additions or suggestions for new features are more than welcome. If you have new music, I am always open for a
Tape Exchange.
I didn't include a Davis biography in my disco. This was deliberate, because at the time of release, there were already several informative and great Davis
on sale, so instead I listed a few that I prefer.
Miles Davis died in 1991, but his music is still alive. A lot of people have made good websites in honor Davis and his music so I listed some

Yonkers Power Station opened in 1906 and supplied electricity to trains traveling to New York's Grand Central Station on then newly electrified lines.
This photo is taken inside the turbine room, a massive space that was completely gutted after the plant closed in the 1960s. it has sat vacant ever since but a group of preservationists are seeking landmark status and hope to convert it to a museum and lofts. Not likely in the current climate.
