Solution Structure of Human alpha-Parvalbumin (Minimized Average Structure)
In the frame of a research aimed at the detailed structural characterization of human calcium-binding proteins of the EF-hand family, the solution structure of human alpha-parvalbumin has been solved by NMR and refined with the help of substitution of the Ca(2+) ion in the EF site with the paramagnetic Dy(3+) ion. A simple (1)H-(15)N HSQC spectrum allowed the NH assignments based on the properties of Dy(3+). This allowed us to exploit pseudocontact shifts and residual dipolar couplings for solution structure refinement. The backbone and heavy atom RMSD are 0.55 +/- 0.08 and 1.02 +/- 0.08 A, respectively, and decrease to 0.39 +/- 0.05 and 0.90 +/- 0.06 A upon refinement with paramagnetism-based restraints. The RMSD for the metal itself in the EF site in the refined structure is 0.26 +/- 0.12 A. Backbone NH R(1), R(2), and NOE measured at two temperatures show the protein to be relatively rigid. The NH orientations are well determined by the paramagnetism-based restraints. This allows us to detect small but significant local structural differences with the orthologue protein from rat, whose X-ray structure is available at 2.0 A resolution. All differences are related to local changes in the amino acidic composition.

NEWPORT NEWS, VIRGINIA (WKZ0) -- The USS Gerald R. Ford is being christened. The Aircraft carrier is the first of a new class of aircraft carriers that will project American Power overseas, carrying the name of Michigan's only President.
The President's Daughter, Susan Ford Bales has played a role in its construction and will crack the bottle over its nose when it's christened Saturday in North Carolina.
It's serious business. This floating city will have unimaginable firepower.
They plan two more like it, one of them to be named the John F. Kennedy, the other the U.S.S. Enterprise.
The ship will still need considerably more work. They laid the beam in 2009 and say it will be ready for duty in 2016, at a cost of over 13-billion dollars.

Police say a 24-year-old security guard has been fatally shot while trying to stop a carjacking in a pharmacy parking lot.
The incident happened Wednesday evening at the CVS store on Schaefer Highway near West McNichols Road.
FOX 2's Taryn Asher says the victim has been identified as Courtney Meeks.
The vehicle involved in the carjacking has been recovered near the Lodge Freeway and West Outer Drive.
Police are still looking for a suspect. Multiple suspects may be involved. A woman in her 30s was the victim of the carjacking. FOX 2's Ron Savage reports she went inside the store after the carjacking, and the armed security guard went outside to engage the suspect. The Detroit Police Department is hosting a seminar tonight on carjacking prevention and awareness training. The free event will be from 6 - 8 p.m. at the North Rosedale Community House on Scarsdale Street.

- Ladies who lunchluvvansVIPDined on 9/16/2014Enjoyed our mutual birthday lunches with Sand Dabs & the Thai Salad. Geo was marvelous as our wait person.Special Features:
- SherwoodDined on 9/9/2014Everything was wonderful. Would return again and again esp. for the sand dabs, my favorite. The owner came up to us and asked if everything was to our liking. Of course, that is a special touch.Special Features:
- I like the viewLeungVIPDined on 9/6/2014Even though there is not much to see up on the hills, it is nice to dine inside a restaurant with such a view. I like the restaurant to be located up the hills. I like the prime rib. It is 2 pounds. The raw oysters are fresh. The apple potstickers are good too. The price is reasonable. But I do not think I will go there the second time because it is hard to have the same feeling if you go there again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great New FindmerrynoelDined on 9/1/2014So glad to have found Van's. It has the old school ambiance that many restaurants lack these day. The food is great and service very attentive. Can't beat the views. Will be coming back, even without the living social deal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The Van's 9/2104mrTRAXVIPDined on 9/1/2014Another good dining experience at The Van's, our favorite Bay Area restaurant.Special Features:
- Not impressed!CAvacationersDined on 8/31/2014After reading the reviews, we decided on Van's. We arrived early for our reservation and waited at the bar. We were greeted quickly by the bartender, but did not order anything. We were seated at our table right on time! It then took, 15 minutes before anyone came by.... Our server told us they were famous for their steaks. So we ordered a filet and prime rib. Both were terrible. The prime rib was very chewy and the filet was charred. The garlic mashed potatoes tasted instant and the vegetables were almost raw. Overall, our bill was over $100 (no alchoholic beverages) and it was the worst meal of our CA vacation.Special Features:
- Sand DabsRoseVIPDined on 8/31/2014We dine here once a year when the sisters get together. We love the Sand Dabs. They are the best. Worth the price!Special Features:
- Great viewflyingfoodDined on 8/27/2014On a hill the restaurant has a great view on a clear day. Food was good, service was pleasant. Not overly expensive for what you get. We had an enjoyable time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- joeu2Dined on 7/5/2014Had an early dinner reservation and we were seated immediately at a nice window location (good view). Waiter was friendly and efficient. Appetizers and drinks were served in good time and main course arrived as requested. Food was excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A classic, ...mcd51Dined on 6/29/2014Van's afforded my wife and I a chance to relax, soak in the wonderful vista, and enjoy each other's company for a bit of time on a Sunday evening. Great service (thanks Michael!), great food, and a great time, ... can't ask for much else.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SPECIALSgoodfoodVIPDined on 6/27/2014LOVE THE CALENDER FOR SPECIAL DRINKS & WINE INFO. GREAT SERVICE & GOOD FOOD. IT IS A FAVORITE DINNING EXPERIENCE. WILL GO AGAIN.Special Features:
- amazing food mediocre servicelovechampagneDined on 6/24/2014Service was pretty bad and super slow. The waiter was nice but just not attentive. The food is absolutely delicious and the view of the bay was gorgeous! I recommend for a romantic date however, there were some kids there as it is a neighborhood spot.Special Features:
- Mom's BirthdayruddstrDined on 6/24/2014They asked if something special was happening. We told them Mom was celebrating her 95th birthday. We ordered dessert and they brought it with a candle and sang "Happy Birthday" to her, that was nice. Best service we have had in a long time!Special Features:
- Love the Van'sDonutDined on 6/17/2014Good food, personal service, great views! Fun Bar as well!Special Features:
- SweetheartDined on 6/15/2014I love their escargot, but this time, it was not sizzling hot when it was presented in front of me. We are a party of 6, everyone had appetizers and loved their choices. I always order medium rare for my salmon, but it came to me as medium. Our fellow diners ordered medium for the salmon and came out dry ( unable to finish the meal). They were very busy (Father's Day), since our table was on the top floor, I think that the food cooled by the time they brought it up.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Historical Steak HouseDinnerWithDadDined on 6/15/2014This is a good restaurant if you like historical places. It is an old-fashio steak house, once a speak-easy during prohibition. An updated menu and better bar tender would add to make a better experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A great dining experience for usOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/14/2014My husband always chooses the Van's for a nice meal. It's close enough to home. Good wine and cocktails and always great service. Food options always work for us. We sometimes show up without reservations because we just decided we want to go and they always are able to seat us within a reasonable amount of time. Thanks Van's!Special Features:
- Memorable VisithoniDined on 6/14/2014The night before Father's day my family and I went to The Vans for dinner. From the time we got our table to the time we left, everything was perfect. The food was brought out on time and the waiter was always around to help us when we needed his assistance. I am very Happy with the whole night. And my daughter wasn't as fussy as I thought she would be. And everyone who hasn't or hadn't gone there before, had enjoyed the food and the company and the scenery from the windows. And we all enjoyed spending the night with each other.Special Features:
- Dine with a viewluv2dineVIPDined on 6/14/2014I love this place! The steak and the views are amazing!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great View, Ok foodfoodmommyDined on 6/13/2014We ate here for lunch. Apparently, the restaurant only serves steaks during dinner. Darn!! Ordered the salsbury steak with capers and it was delicious! On the other hand, my husband ordered the chicken fried steak and it was just ok. Beautiful view of the peninsula. Restaurant is very very dated, but clean. Lots of parking.Special Features:
- Bay Area's BestmrTRAXVIPDined on 6/11/2014The Van's is our favorite Bay Area restaurant. Excellent meal, stuffed mushrooms were fantastic! Our server, David, was very attentive. Have recommended The Van's many times in the past and will continue to do so.Special Features:
- WhizDined on 6/4/2014I've eaten here many time, but the service was terrible this time. I don't know if they were exceptionally busy (Weds) that night, but everything took for ever. I complained, and they comp'd the desert. That never came out either, so I asked for the check, and desert to go. They also charged me for 2 martini's, and I only had one. Bad night!Special Features:
- Good food!OpenTable Diner Since 2002VIPDined on 6/2/2014everyone from the person that greets you at the door, bartender and wait staff are super and friendly. Food is good and plentiful.Special Features:
- Well prepared American comfort foodRoseDined on 6/2/2014There were six of us and each ordered a different salad/entree. No one was disappointed in their dinner. Loved the food. Service was excellent. Noise level was a bit difficult, but we managed.Special Features:
- Don't get the pork chopDisappointedDined on 6/1/2014For $17 it wasn't worth the 1/4" bone, and 1/16" of the pork chop meat. Unless. You don't mind the size, the taste was good. I was so hungry, I ate bread and shared my spouse's dish; because of that, he ate more bread!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- JosephscareDined on 5/31/2014Had a wonderful time great food. Friendly. Your host and waitress were great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Seniors who lunch!luvvansVIPDined on 5/30/2014Enjoyed the Sand Dabs (again!) and the Fried Prawns (again!). Both so very good that we keep ordering them! Really beats all of the newer, trendy restaurants in San Carlos! Server and busboy were wonderful.Special Features:
- Beautiful place & Great apps -SmLocalGurl1Dined on 5/29/2014The apps very were good and waiter was really nice ( when we saw him) but service time was SO slow and when we got our food it was not very good ;( prime rib, no flavor, onion soup So salty I had them take back.. My son had alfredo that i could have made.. My mom loved her Thai salad, I agree it was tastie. I just wanted our 1st time to be better.. And $250 should har been :(Special Features:
- Good food, slow but friendly srvcOpenTable Diner Since 2003VIPDined on 5/26/2014Each time we eat here, we say we should come back more often. The food is consistently good, and the views are great. This time, I had pasta with sausage, with enough left over for another meal at home. My son had the prime rib, and my husband had the burger. We were all very happy with our choices. We also shared calimari as an appetizer, and a brownie sunday as a dessert. On this most recent visit, our waiter was very friendly and helpful when he came by the table, but there were long stretches where he was nowhere to be found.Special Features:
- KrisHDined on 5/25/2014This was our second time dining here. We enjoyed our first time much more. I know they're the "dining place for the 49'ers" but just after we were seated, the dining music was turned off and an old football broadcast was put on over the stereo system. The food was also better the first time (4 months ago).Special Features:
- The following 685 reviews are from the The Van's 'On The Hill' reviews archive.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 5/22/2014I had the linguini primavera with olive oil, the best I've had on a long time. My friend said her fish dish (sand dabs) was excellent. Banana Creme pie for dessert was the best! We'll be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- As Usual...Perfect!AnnieVIPDined on 5/21/2014This is my 'go to' place. My cousin Barts in from Castro Valley and wants a long good lunch. Where else?? The Van's and Adrian, who has to be one of the most charming, competent waiters I have ever seen. Great time. Great food. Again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Van's "charm" will warm one's heartOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 5/19/2014We've been going to Van's for many years, and always have enjoyable meals. Each trip brings back memories of the past years. This restaurant makes for nostalgic and fun times. It must be the inner surroundings , especially the fun bar area. The bartender is quite sociable and tends to make one reminisce and to remember the "good ol' days!" The maitre d' is a former well known jockey and horse trainer that warmly greets everyone and adds to the enjoyment for a wonderful time and dining pleasure.Special Features:
- Great view. That's it.OpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 5/18/2014I think the view is unparalleled in the Bay Area and that is the only reason to go here. We had a reservation for 6:30 and were seated at 7:10. There were more open tables than occupied when we sat down, so maybe they were having staff issues. I get it. Things happen. But the food is trying to be classic steakhouse out-of-town grandparent fair, but fails even there. Medallions of beef were rubbery. Garlic mashed were dried out and not good. The waitress informed us that my daughter's hamburger was cooked well and had to be refired as she had ordered medium. 25 minutes later the hamburger arrived rare. We didn't have the heart to send it back because we were ready to leave at that point. But they do have chicken fried steak. Gross.Special Features:

As you surely must have noticed by now, Turbo magazine loves boost. Beyond being incorporated into the very title of our monthly bible, boost is one of the greatest equalizers when building a car. No replacement for displacement? Drop a turbo onto your 1.6L and blow that phrase out of the water.
Cars like the RX-7, Eclipse GS-T and WRX brought factory-turbocharged tinkering into American garages, but when it comes to USDM heavy hitter status, only one stands tall: the 1993-1998 Toyota Supra Turbo. Very few engines are capable of withstanding heavy, heavy boost and four-digit power output at the wheels. When it comes to the import world, only two motors come to mind, and one of them exists only in the Japanese-exclusive Skyline GT-R. The fourth generation Supra Turbo's 2JZ-GTE engine is legendary for its ability to sustain monstrous amounts of boost, all while retaining Toyota-level reliability. There's a reason why the 2JZ-GTE has been swapped into RX-7's, SC300's, IS300's, old trucks and almost anything else that rolls on wheels
Having ceased production of these mighty beasts, Toyota has switched its focus away from building hot, factory turbo cars and has upped its manufacturing of big-selling vanilla Camrys. But with the Supra's appearance in the The Fast and the Furious, and an enthusiastic following that continues to develop and refine both the Supra and the 2JZ-GTE, used Supra Turbo models continue to command a hefty price. There's something about owning a 1,000whp+ boosted street car that leaves gearheads clamoring over each other in the used car market.
Ryan Woon, owner of the notorious Supra shop Wide Open Throttle Motorsports (WOTM), is partly responsible for the madness surrounding the Supra. Woon picked up his first Supra in 1998 and was instantly hooked. He has since bought and sold more than seventy Supras, all while continuing to build on of this machine. An innovator in the Supra world, Woon has tried out numerous combinations of parts in order to go faster, ranging from a T66 all the way up to an 88mm turbocharger. The years of development have paid off as well, as this full weight, stock, six-speed transmission, street Supra has run a best quarter-mile time of 8.62-seconds at 171mph. That's right, you're looking at the world's fastest manual Supra.
The recipe for 8-second timeslips begins with power, and lots of it. Titan Motorsports, of NHRA Sport Compact championship fame, assembled the stroked 3.4L inline-six for Woon. A billet stroker crankshaft was fit with Carrillo connecting rods and CP Pistons 9.1:1 compression slugs. Up top, the cylinder head was stuffed with HKS 280-degree camshafts, Ferrea 2mm oversized valves, Ferrea valve springs, and Unorthodox Racing cam gears. Not one, but three Walbro fuel pumps are used to feed the massive 1600cc/min fuel injectors. As a testament to impressive Toyota engineering, the oiling system remains factory stock.
Woon switched the Supra over from the factory sequential twin-turbo setup to a monster single turbo setup using a Virtual Works Racing turbo kit. The heart of the upgrade is the huge Garrett GT4788 turbo, which is squeezed in place on top of a Virtual Works exhaust manifold. The final exit path for the exhaust stream is a Chunnel-like custom 4.5-inch exhaust system. Virtual Works also produced the front-mount intercooler, which uses a Garrett core rated up to 1880 hp.
Woon is quite proud of the fact that the Supra is able to make so much power, and yet can run 8-second passes with a stock transmission. The OE Getrag unit has proven itself at the strip multiple times, even under the strain of a Tilton triple-plate clutch and super sticky Mickey Thompson drag tires. There's a reason why the Supra is still so popular after all these years, and it's not just skin deep.
This Supra may be one of the fastest in the world, but Woon also drives the car weekly because this Toyota is just as comfortable cruising as it is breaking off sport bikes. There is an 8.5-second legal roll cage inside the car, but Woon has meticulously built the interior with Sparco seats, a full stereo and custom work by 1st Upholstery in Scottsdale, Arizona. The exterior remains near stock with only the addition of an RMM rear wing, carbon-fiber front lip and TRD vented aero hood. The Tilton clutch may prove to be a little tricky, but the HKS drag coilovers are easy to live with and a simple swap to iForged wheels and Toyo tires makes Woon ready to prowl the streets of Arizona with this rocket ship of a car.

The Truth About Labor and Delivery
Jennifer Farrell: Hey ladies, I'm back! The bitch that brought you the truth about the first three months is ready to lay down the honest-to-goodness truth about your labor and delivery.
I'm not here to tell you all the wonderful, honeyed, sticky-sweet moments motherhood brings (because you have a ton of resources that will reinforce that) -- I'm here to tell you the crap stuff, the facts that your friends are too scared to tell you because you're in your 8th or 9th month. So read on if you're ready to face what's coming for you, and if you're not, then kindly click off and go bury your head in the sand somewhere.
What you believe: Packing a big bag full of essentials such as clothes, supplies, books, magazines, iPods, pictures of your dog, your pillow, your blanket, your newborn clothing stash, etc., will ensure you are ready for anything that might happen in the hospital. After all, if you have everything you need, you won't possibly need anything, right?
Wrong! I'm warning you: pack anything you want and the truth is you probably won't use a quarter of it. Your bag will be heavy, it will take up space, and you will be annoyed that the one thing you want to find (maxi pads!) is the one thing you didn't think to pack. Sure, take all your baby stuff, you'll need it -- but as for stuff for you? Bring one nice shirt to wear so you can breastfeed with guests in the room (you will be sitting in bed the entire time anyway so no one will know you're not wearing pants) and bring one going-home outfit. You won't wear anything but hospital gowns anyway. Trust me -- you are not going to want to put on pants of any kind after what is going to happen down there. P.S. Pack a bag of maxi pads. Do not pack tampons. Maxi pads. The biggest bag you can find.
What you believe: Planning for and getting an epidural will mean that your labor will be blissfully pain-free. You will be up, walking around, eating light salads and drinking juice while you chat with your mom and watch your baby's heartbeat on the monitor. Oops, there goes a contraction. Didn't feel a thing! This epidural stuff is GRAND!!
Hold on, I can't stop laughing ... okay. I'm warning you: epidurals are not 100% effective. They also limit how much you can move around. Did you know that if you get an epidural you can hardly leave your bed except to go to the bathroom? You can't bounce on that cute birthing ball or labor in the whirlpool tub (you have a giant needle in your spine, think about it). You also can't eat a bite of food or take even a sip of a drink because epidurals result in a higher risk for C-sections and we all know what happens with food and anesthetic. You can have ice chips. Yummy, yummy ice chips for the duration of your labor and delivery. Trust me, after laboring for 10 hours, you are hungrier for a lot more than ice chips! You also might not be able to birth in the position that feels most natural for your body because for the epidural to work, you have to be lying down. If you sit up, the medicine pools into your legs. Guess what's frozen then? Right -- your legs! So unless you are 100% positive that you want to birth your baby lying down, please rethink the epidural.
What you believe: You are concerned that you won't know when it's time to push. You are secretly worried that you will not know how to do it and you won't like how it feels. You are scared that when it's time to push you won't know what to do.
I'm warning you: you are going to know when to push and you're going to like how it feels. You're not going to like it like you like chocolate cake, but it's going to feel good. Not good like an orgasm would, but good like a big poop after being constipated for a long time. Actually, here is the truth: the urge to push feels just like the urge to have a big bowel movement. Let yourself give in to the feeling of the impending BM, don't tense up, just go with it, and the pushing part will go a lot faster. Don't scrunch up your face or hold your breath or hold the push back -- pretend you are taking a huge BM and relax and just push that baby out. Trust me, you will know when it's time to push.
What you believe: After birthing your baby you will lose a lot of weight quickly. You believe that the placenta weighs a couple pounds, the amniotic fluid weighs a couple pounds, and the baby weighs a whole lot of pounds, so realistically, you should lose like 30 pounds ... right?
Wrong! I'm warning you: don't weigh yourself after birth because you're going to be disappointed. For some strange reason, most women lose 10-15 pounds max (unless your baby is a 10-pounder, then adjust upwards). The fluid doesn't weigh that much, and the placenta is only a couple of ounces. It's during the time directly following your labor that the weight really starts to drop off. Mostly due to night sweats and breast-feeding but ... more on that in my next article, The Truth about the Aftermath. For now, try not to worry too much about how much weight you didn't lose.
Ladies, labor and delivery is a journey of self-discovery. You are going to be challenged emotionally, mentally, and physically in ways that you can't even begin to imagine. It is the most empowering, rewarding experience in a woman's life, but it is also the scariest, most intimidating and potentially dangerous situation you will ever have to face. Sadly, your girlfriends are more likely to share the truth about their labor stories with other moms but rarely with newly pregnant women. Why? It's not because we are afraid of scaring you -- it's because we know (from experience) that you're not going to believe it's as hard as we say it is. Again, I'm not here to sugarcoat it for you. I'm here to tell you the things my friends and I talk about after the fact, the things we all wish other moms had told us. Don't say I didn't warn you.
You are so right about the bag! I had my husband pack mine, and he put in a "Beavis and Butthead" comic. It hurt so much to laugh after my c-section and the damn book made it worse! I wish I had packed a going home outfit, but hey you can't have everything.
I agree with you and commenter Shelly…the bag is over rated. I packed all sorts of things on "the list" and used exactly 3 things. My robe (so I could be up from bed and not show my behind in the hospital gown), the toiletry bag so I could shower, and the baby book because they put my son's foot print in it for me. That was it. I even went home in the outfit I went the hospital in because it fit better than the one I packed.
Going home outfit = tshirt and sweats. Anything else, other than maternity clothes, won't fit and you'll likely be too sore and tired to care about anyway.
Books, magazines, etc: forget it. I was in the hospital for 5 days and the only thing I thought about in "free" time was getting more sleep. The only reading I did was the pamphlets and stuff they gave me there - postpartum depression, breastfeeding, etc.
Even baby clothes aren't that necessary. My son wore two sleepers there, and other than that, was swaddled in a blanket so much that the clothes weren't visible even if they were on!
Epidural: Good luck, ladies. If you want it, go for it. Be prepared for the bad stuff that goes with it, and all the good too. And be prepared NOT to get one if you're too far along too quickly. In a span of 10 minutes (home to hospital), I went from walking around relatively easily with 5-min+ contractions, to barely able to stand The urge to push? Doesn't always happen. I was as "in labour" as you can imagine, and they told me to push when I felt the urge. I never did, so they told me to push anyway! I did and it felt wonderful… until I ran out of breath and had to start all over. Then it hurt like hell until I started pushing again.
I'm always telling my friend not to use their face or yell so much when pushing. You can damage an ocular nerve and be all bloodshot and be hoarse afterward. Breathe and use the bottom and pretend they need to use the bathroom and just "do the do".
Boy are maxi pads essential. The hospital doesn't give you much unless you have a super duper nurse, so bring your stash with you.
I wish I had read this 13 years ago! LOL. Right on though.. I always tell ppl try to skip the epidural too, because it causes more pain in the long run than the temporary delivery pain. My lower back has never been the same! Oh and YES GIVING BIRTH HURTS, I laugh when I still get asked if it does. And u are absolutely right about bag.. for my first I packed a bag and used maybe only 2 things, with the other 2 children I barely packed anything at all
Oh… you forgot to mention the other lovely part of pushing. Just like you said, it feels like you are having a big bowel movement. Well ladies, when you're pushing that hard, the bowl movement comes along with it! She said maxi pads. Try Depends! I had never seen that much blood pour out of me in my life the first time I stood after giving birth.
I would recommend very loose fitting pajamas (or a gown if you prefer) because you will be up moving around afterwards and I felt more comfortable in pants.
Also be prepared to have help. The nurses took me in with my 2nd child (not my first at a different hospital) and cleaned me up in the bathroom. they wouldn't allow me to do it alone (maybe because I had an epi?).
The first not so fun thing that happened to me after going into labor was continuously running to the bathroom because I had diarrhea. I was so worried about having a BM during delivery but when it happens you're in so much pain you don't care. Plus I had a catheter put in and I didn't even feel that (did not have an epidural) because of the contractions, I think the nurse could have shoved a 2x4 in there and I wouldn't have noticed lol. Then after delivery the nurse made me get up to to the bathroom, first I had no stomach muscles in which to get myself off the bed, second I left a trail of blood from the bed to the bathroom. The whole time I apologized to the nurse for the blood because I was so embarrased. I'm sure I wasn't the only woman who left a trail to the bathroom. Then for a good two weeks or more I swear I couldn't walk straight because of the episiotomy I had. I felt like I was walking with my legs apart lol.
I hate to say it, but I was one of the lucky ones. I wasn't experiencing any pain and when I was dilated to two, my doc ordered my epidural. Felt nothing during labor and delivery. Afterwards hurt, but it was great to not feel anything. Good story J!
Don't just get Depends pads, either. They'll shift and bunch up on you. I got the depends undergarments, no leaking, plus it felt good to have some support for my stomach muscles! This wouldn't work for a C-section, though…
one good thing about epidurals=they are the greatest drug u can get when in horrible pain! Bad thing for me was just that couldn't feel anything at all not even feel myself pushing i was straining so hard that i was out of breath the entire time but i knew i had to push to get my baby boy out. Now that im pregnant for the second time i wonder if i will feel all the pain when pushing this time? oh yeah and u feel awful afterward, I almost fainted when going to the bathroom because of all the loss of blood.I was also induced so didnt feel contractions until the pytocin set in. Its not at all how they picture it to be in those TLC shows about giving birth!
Ha Ha!! My cousin just had her first a few weeks ago and we had gone to visit her 3 weeks before her due date and she was very busy packing her bag. Get this: she packed 4 pairs of shoes!!! Yeah, I know. Also, baby clothes, 3 outfits for herself and some other crazy things. I told her 1 pair of flip flops, that's all you need. Not 4 pairs of cutesy sandals!! Also, something else I made sure she had for when she got home was nursing pads. I remember going to walmart all leaky with my first!
ashley that is so true! i remember wishing i'd packed flip flops.
Awesome article, Jenny! Of course, there are other scenarios, but yours is likely the most common among first-time-mommy hospital births!

I'm a PEKAPON!
Hello guys! Here's my latest look. Kindly hype it.(http://lookbook.nu/look/2997167-I-m-a-PEKAPON)
What I'm wearing: Yellow Square Frame Specs (Bazaar), I need my space shirt (Souvenir Shirt from NASA), Yellow String Bracelet (DIY), Yellow Watch (SM Accessories), White Shorts (Jue-Jin), Red Topsider Shoes (VANS), Sergeant Keroro Plushie (TV Tokyo)
Maybe you're wondering what a PEKAPON is. Hahaha.. If you're watching the Anime Sergeant Keroro you will definitely know that it's their term for "humans". Anyways this look was actually inspired by all the Solar flare news going around the television for the past couple of days. Since Sergeant Keroro is a frog alien, and aliens are somehow related to space, I decided to include it in my look. :))
The shirt was given to me by my mom (actually I hate souvenir shirts but I just pretended that I liked it). Hahahahahaha.. :)) I really don't want to buy souvenir shirts that are very expensive with the prints just saying I<3 (whatever).. I don't know why, but I just hate it.. :))
And by the way, sorry if I keep on repeating some of my stuff. Hehehe.. I'm no longer a student and I'm officially unemployed so I don't have the luxury to buy all the clothes and shoes that I want.. Hehehe.. CHEERS! But if you could offer me a job give me a call.. :))
Have a great day everyone! :D KERO! :))

TORONTO -- Minnesota Twins first baseman Justin Morneau can't wait to have a normal off-season.
Over the past two years the 31-year-old native of New Westminster, B.C., has had to deal with the side-effects of a concussion that he picked up in July 2010 on a play at second base against the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre.
Morneau's had various other ailments, including surgery to stabilize a tendon in his left wrist one year ago, and isn't expected to play in the season-ending series against the Jays because of general wear and tear from his longest season since 2009 and soreness in the wrist.
But at least he's looking forward to an off-season without surgery.
"It's nice to be able to work out with the goal of getting stronger instead of rehabbing from an injury or surgery or a combination of them both," Morneau said. "I'm really looking forward to that and spending some normal time with my family in October for the first time in a few years.
"It's a huge difference obviously compared with the ones I was on last year and the year before. Once I start working out again it should be refreshing. It seems like work sometimes when it's rehabbing from a surgery or whatever it is, but when the whole goal is getting stronger for the season, it has a different feel to it."
If Morneau is indeed done for the season he will have batted .267 with 19 homers and 77 runs batted in and an OPS of .773 in 134 games, his most since 2009 when he played in 135.
"This winter will be a nice winter for him actually," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said before Tuesday's game. "He's not going to have to rehab, all he needs is rest and then get just back into his workouts. Now it's just letting everything heal and that doesn't happen during the course of the season."
After playing 81 games in 2010 and 69 in 2011, it took Morneau some time to get back into a hitting groove. A sore wrist also put him on the disabled list in May.
"Probably somewhere around the all-star break, after the all-star break, I started to feel like my swing was closer to what I wanted it to be and I started hitting lefties better," he said. "I think I started 8 for 90 or something against lefties. It was a combination of things. I had some issues with my swing."
Before the break he batted .246 with 11 homers and 38 RBIs with a .752 OPS. After the break, he had eight home runs and 39 RBIs but batted .289 with a .793 OPS.
"There were times when it was good," Gardenhire said. "There were times as Mornie always put it, shrugging his shoulders, 'We've got to play, let's go, it is what it is.' He went through that a lot off and on but there were times when it was great, no issues whatever and that's when you saw his swing staying through the ball.
"He played through it, which I expected him to because he's been through so much over the last couple of years that he didn't want to get off that baseball field. Pretty good year, considering everything he went through."
Morneau was eased back into the Twins lineup as designated hitter this season and he played there for most of April.
"It didn't last long before he said, 'I've got to play, I've got to be on first base,"' Gardenhire said.
In mid-May when he returned from a stint on the disabled list, he played first base regularly.
Morneau agreed that he didn't like being DH.
"It's something that takes some getting used to and when you're struggling it's hard because you don't feel like you're contributing anything to the team," he said. "Those oh-fers are tough. You're oh for the three at-bats, you're not feeling like you're contributing and you put too much into that last at-bat.
"It helps if you get a hit early. It's something you should be able to deal with as an experienced hitter but it makes it difficult if you're not having any success."
Morneau, who was the American League MVP in 2006, hopes a regular off-season routine can get him back on track. When he suffered the concussion in 2010, he was having a big season, batting .345 with 18 homers, 56 RBIs and an OPS 1.055 in 81 games.
But before the 2013 season begins there is the World Baseball Classic in March. Morneau and left-handed pitcher Scott Diamond, a teammate on the Twins and with Team Canada, watched on their computers recently as Canada qualified by winning a tournament in Germany.
"I'm looking forward to it," Morneau said.

Black Magic & Magnolia Suns
Incense, sandalwood, and a half lit cigarette rest by the window in the bedroom of my new apartment. Soft rain drops in small intervals. The air is sultry. It's heat, soil, and salt. It's the promise of a new summer. Late nights turn into magnum colored dawns. Unfamiliar faces slowly smile. I pour my sixth cup of gin. Pangs of love-gone-by still prick somewhere deep inside from time to time, but followed without regret. I've let go, but I'm not quiet sure I'm ready to move on, just yet. The hot summer is wide open. I only have to walk out the door.

Disney Boycott Will Mean 'Tragic' Kingdom
The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force today said that this morning's decision of members of the Southern Baptist Convention to boycott Disney will mean that the Magic Kingdom will become the tragic kingdom. The religious organization announced yesterday that it would urge its 15.7 million members to boycott Disney theme parks and all other Disney products because of the company's "gay-friendly" policies.
The nation's largest Protestant denomination warned the Disney company a year ago that it had 12 months to change its policies and programming toward one that celebrates more traditional family values. The Southern Baptist Convention specifically opposed Disney's "Gay Days," the extension of health benefits to partners of gay employees and the recent coming out episode of "Ellen" on Disney-owned ABC television.
In a nationally televised news interview yesterday, Kerry Lobel, executive director of NGLTF told Reverend Richard Land, president of the Convention's Christian Life Commission that "Disney is modeling good citizenship and good citizenry through its policies. Walt Disney and his characters taught us that it's a small world after all, where every person is welcome."
Southern Baptist Convention members met today in Dallas and voted to boycott the Disney company. "I had hoped they would vote for America's children to have a safe-haven free from politics, fear and ignorance," Lobel said. "They can keep their children from Disneyland and Disney World, but they can't keep Disney characters from the hearts and minds of children. Characters like Dumbo, Pinocchio and Tigger have taught us that there is a welcoming family for every child and the Disney company's policies have demonstrated that this is the case."
The mission of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is to build the political power of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community from the ground up. We do this by training activists, organizing broad-based campaigns to defeat anti-LGBT referenda and advance pro-LGBT legislation, and by building the organizational capacity of our movement. Our Policy Institute, the movement's premier think tank, provides research and policy analysis to support the struggle for complete equality and to counter right-wing lies. As part of a broader social justice movement, we work to create a nation that respects the diversity of human expression and identity and creates opportunity for all. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., we also have offices in New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis and Cambridge.

photo of Bok Choy (learn about bok choy) – so vibrant and tender!
I'm going to tell you to do something that is totally contrary to many Asian cookbooks out there. And yeah, it also flips my motto, "Hot Wokky, No Stickky" on its head.
Okay, ready?
Cold Wokky, Very Garlickky.
The problem with using a very hot wok or frying pan to stir fry with minced garlic and ginger is that you'll probably burn it. Burnt garlic and ginger is big time suckky. When I'm stir-frying vegetables, like bok choy, I add the minced garlic and ginger to COLD oil and COLD wok or pan. As the wok and oil heat up, the ginger and garlic gently sizzles. The longer the aromatics stay in contact with the oil – the more flavor it infuses into the oil. So, now you've got a tablespoon of that an incredible garlicky, gingery oil. Toss the bok choy leaves in that oil, so that each leaf of the bok choy is bathed in heavenly flavor.
If you had used a hot wok and hot oil, you only get a few seconds before they burn. What does burnt garlic and ginger taste like?
Bitter can be good sometimes – I LOVE bitter. But when you're going for a more delicate flavor, especially in a bok choy dish, you might not want bitter.
Now, I do want to say that the rules for cooking meat in a pan or wok are different – (that's another lesson that I've written extensively about at Simply Recipes.)
Young grasshoppa, let me show you the way.
Start by trimming the bok choy stem off – don't trim too much – just the end. Cutting the thick stem off will ensure that the bok choy cooks evenly. Separate out the bok choy leaves and rinse under running water.
But leave the tender baby that's in the middle of each bok choy! That's the golden nugget! Finely mince garlic and grate fresh ginger with a microplane grater. Grating the ginger helps break up the tough fibers! (and yeah, sometimes when the ginger is nice and fresh, I don't even bother peeling off the paper-thin skin)
Place wok or frying pan on your stove and pour in the cooking oil. Add the garlic and ginger. Turn the heat to medium-high. Let the ginger and garlic gently sizzle in the oil. When the aromatics become fragrant and light golden brown, add the bok choy leaves. Toss to coat each leaf with the garlicky, gingery oil.
I really mean it! Toss, baby, toss! Stir! Faster! You only have like 15 seconds of tossing time! I am super wok-stirring queen!
Pour in broth, water or wine over the bok choy. Immediately cover and let cook for 1 minute. Season with salt and drizzle a bit of sesame oil on top.
That's it! I hope you try this method – it works for any type of vegetable, like Napa cabbage or broccoli. For thicker vegetables (like broccoli), increase the steaming time by another minute and maybe add a bit more water/broth.
Oh yeah, why tongs instead of a standard wok chan (spatula)? Because it's easier to use the tongs to toss, flip and turn when dealing with delicate vegetables.
Bok Choy Recipe
Ingredients:1 1/2 pounds bok choy or baby bok choy
1 1/2 tablespoons canola, vegetable or peanut oil
1-2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
3 tablespoons broth or water (or 2 tablespoons broth/water + 1 tablespoon wine)
salt to taste
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1. Start by trimming the stem off - don't trim too much - just the end. Cutting the thick stem off will ensure that the bok choy cooks evenly. Separate out the leaves, keep the tender center intact and clean under running water. Drain.
2. Finely mince garlic and grate fresh ginger with a microplane grater. Grating the ginger helps break up the tough fibers! (and yeah, sometimes when the ginger is nice and fresh, I don't even bother peeling off the paper-thin skin)
3. Place wok or frying pan on your stove and pour in the cooking oil. Add the garlic and ginger. Turn the heat to medium-high. Let the ginger and garlic gently sizzle in the oil. When the aromatics become fragrant and light golden brown, add the bok choy leaves. Toss very well to coat each leaf with the garlicky, gingery oil for 15 seconds. Pour in broth, water or wine. Immediately cover and let cook for 1 minute. Season with salt and drizzle a bit of sesame oil on top.
Chinese Spinach (Yu Choy) Recipe with Toasted Garlic (ooooh….a blast into the past! One of my very very first posts ever! look at the photography! heehee!)
Chinese Broccoli with Oyster Sauce (another vintage Steamy Kitchen!)
Just cooked this tonight for guests, and was VERY pleased with the results Thanks for the great recipe!
Just wanted to tell you that I have your book and I just love your bok choy and pea pod recipe….I make it all the time, it's just soooo good
This was the exact recipe I was looking for to cook Bok Choy.. It tastes lovely (I also added a little oyster sauce)
Wow, this sounds so delicious! I've been using a method similar to this, but without broth or wine additions, and it's been incredible still. Now if I add all these additions, I believe i'll get even tastier results. And thank you so much for the tips on the garlic! I find myself hurrying to get the garlic going enough and then putting the bok and water in to douche out the heat before it starts burning. At times i've failed and got the best of the (blah) burning! But I'll use your method, and get likely more vibrant, delicious every time results!
Thank you!
Very yummy, thanks for the tips, was a good quick meal. I added some sauted tofu as well.
I made the Bok Choy Stir Fry Recipe. it was delicious!I am a lousy cook, and even I could make a descent dish with your recipe. I had my family coming over ( my worst critics ) and everybody loved it. Thanks
I love this recipe. I didn't pay super-close attention to amounts and it turned out great. I used water for the liquid, btw. Pretty and fresh!
Just fyi, I served this with a mushroom pasta (sauteed onion, garlic, mini portobellos with salt, pepper and a few dashes of balsamic vinegar, over some fresh linguine, garnished with parsley and some parmesan). Yum!
This recipe is great! Ive always loved bok choy at restaurants and this is my first time making it at home. This will be my new go to recipe for bok choy.
And the tip about putting the oil, garlic and ginger in a cold pan works great! Ive always had trouble with this in a wok. This will be my new method.
Thank you!!
Tried this tonight and want to try again another time. My bok choy was giant and the leaves with stalks didn't fit in the wok! I tried to steam them anyway, but they were too thick and wouldn't touch the bottom of the pan. I fished them out, sliced them vertically to make them more flexible, and had better luck after that. Whew!
Thanks Jalden… It seems very easy for an amateur cook like me too… Will try it this weekend…
Just made this and it turned out wonderfully garlicky!!! Thanks!!! =)
I tried this recipe today and it was so delicious! Thanks for sharing.
I just made this and it was a hit. Thanks for the tip on how to cook garlic without it becoming bitter. It seems a bit odd to start with a cold pan, after years of being told to heat the pan, then add the oil, but it worked fine. I added home made beef stock as the liquid.
Exactly how I cook my bok choy! Yum! I just came across your page and I am excited to try your Beef Pho recipe! Great page!
that sounds like a great idea…I am going to make a chicken, broccoli and bok choy stir fry…I wonder if I should cook the bok choy first and set it aside and add it at the end.
can you freeze bok choy. I have steamed it and stir fry. Will try with garlic and ginger and want to try with tofu as a healthy alternative…….
This dish is tasty and so easy! This past winter I grew some bok-choy and today was the day to pick it. I wanted to use it in a simple dish to preserve the fresh garden taste. The recipe was perfect as the light ginger and garlic taste complimented the bok-choy perfectly. Being a garlic lover i added some extra sautéed garlic slices as a garnish. I definitely will be making it again.
Thx for such a detailed recipe. Just followed it yesterday and the bok choy turned just wonderfully!!!
I recently introduced baby bok choy to my 7 yr old and she LOVES it!! I add a little Chinese Five Spice and it gives it the best flavor!!
I love to make baby bok choy now. Thanks for the great recipe. I indeed enjoyed to read this.
Can you share the bok choy and pea pod recipe?
Thank you!
Dear Steamy Kitchen:
This recipe was so easy to follow. The pictures helped guide me with the level of trimming of the vegetable. The controlling of garlic and ginger to cold oil was so helpful.
I hosted a nice dinner party with pouched salmon (evoo, minced garlic, and freshly squeezed lemon juice in a pouched tin foil wrapper on the grill, (15 minutes); Israeli salad, (finely cut grape tomatoes, cucs, lemon juice, small amount of spanish onion, and salt, evoo and fresh dill); grilled carrots, and various other accompaniments and everything was great.
What was really neat was the fact that I never made bok choy before and this just perfectly fit in. Your recipe was so easy to follow.
Thank you for your detailed explanation and tips.
And for desert = fresh cut strawberries with home made cream on the side.
i made your baby bok choy and it was better tha I thought it would be. I used some sliced shitake mushrooms, salt,pepper,sesame oil. It was so delicious.
A question: what is the difference between the white bottomed bok choy and the all lighter green identical vegetable? At my Asian market, Ranch 99, there were prices but no name tags
Just cooked this tonight and OMG! Soooo good. I julienned the ginger and diced the garlic. Yum. First time making bok choy, but not the last! Thanks!
I followed the recipe step by step, but my bok choy was too chewy. I think 1 min is not enough. What have I done wrong? And what parts are supposed to be cooked?
SK – you say "But leave the tender baby that's in the middle of each bok choy! That's the golden nugget!" What do we do with it? Anything? Todd it? When you say golden nugget i took it to mean it was special somehow, but there are no instructions for it.
I didn't try to freeze the leaves but the stems, cut and steamed for a couple of minutes freeze very nicely. I use the frozen bok choy in stir-fry or soups.
This looks delicious, I'm definitely going to be trying it! In the recipe you say you can use beef broth or water & wine. What kind of wine would you recommend for this type of stir fry?
Simple, great, thank you.
Would you ever thicken the sauce lightly with a little corn starch dissolved in water?
Great recipe. I wrote about it here:
Great recipe! I didn't even have to go to the store for any of the ingredients which is weird for me b/c I hardly ever have bok choy and ginger, but I had stocked up a week ago when I started a juicing reboot program. The bok choy I used was huge so I cut it into more manageable pieces. I had googled for bok choy recipes and I'm so glad I found your recipe. I had no idea what to do with it. The ginger and garlic made it taste great.
Hi Jaden, I just love your recipes….I have made this bok choy several times and it's wonderful as well as many other recipes from your book. Your site is great!! When will you be doing another book?
Have a great weekend!
Hey Steamy Kitchen… I just bought a ton of baby bok choy and am going to try this recipe, but finish with a bit of smoked olive oil and see how it comes out. I'm off to cook. I will let you know how it goes.
It works with the smoked olive oil… yum!
I'm going to try it with the Sonoma smoked olive oil that Chef Ming Tsai recommends….sounds wonderful!
This is a great recipe. Very simple, and yields fantastic flavor. thanks!
Hi, if i want to cook bak choy with meat, should i precook the meat first or just add the meat before adding the bak choy?
I just made this, but also added some baby carrots thinly sliced lengthwise… It was SO beautiful and delicious! Thank you for this perfect and simple recipe.
Great how-to! I had no clue how to approach bok choy and you made it exceedingly simple. Thanks!
Made this exactly per the recipe. Added wine and broth. Excellent! my first time making bok choy. Will def repeat.
Thank you for sharing this recipe with the clear instructions and photos. They are very helpful for a first-time bok choy user.
By the way, the photography is beautiful.
Love your site and you seem really nice. I just find your humerously intended Chinese bastardizations to be offensive. It looks like you might be asian, so I guess that makes it OK, but I'm not really so sure about that.
Couldn't print the recipe for bok choy from your web site. Everything else printed and wasted a lot of paper. I'll be sure to avoid this web site in the future.
I am currently eating Paleo and used this recipe tonight with coconut oil! It was AMAZING!!!! I never thought I could cook this veggie at home and have it taste this good!!! Thank you!
Oh! It looks yummier! I gonna try this to make also some difference for my family. I am really sure they will like this. Hope you will post more tips. Thank you so much.
Check to see if the version of windows you are running has the snipping tool (just search all files and programs for "snipping tool" and it should pull up the .exe file). It is awesome, it will allow you to select a section of the current screen, and then give you the option of saving it (pdf or jpeg),or copy (then paste it where ever you want, like in a word doc or powerpoint slide). Then you can print that file. Makes getting stuff off websites so much easier.
this is very nice, i'm so hungry, i think this is very delicious
oh wow, i never knew Bok Choy (or shouldnt it be Pak Choi) can be cooked in such an interesting manner. Thank you for sharing.
Just made something similar, very tasty! I like the way bok choy absorbs flavors of what you cook it with.

(Reuters) - The 2013 Dodge Dart is "underpowered," according to testers for Consumer Reports magazine, which also said it was "underwhelmed" by the performance of two American luxury cars, General Motors Co's
The magazine, which annually tests and rates hundreds of new and used cars and trucks, said it recommended a fourth model, Toyota Motor Corp's <7203.T> redesigned Lexus ES sedan, although testers said the 2013 model "took a step back in ride and interior refinement from the previous ES."
The 2013 Dart sedan, which competes with such cars as the Toyota Corolla and the Ford Focus, is the first jointly developed model from Fiat SpA
Consumer Reports lauded the Dart's "solid feel, handling and ride," but said the compact sedan "can't yet measure up to the best in class."
The magazine ranked the Cadillac higher than the Lincoln, but said neither car scored well enough to earn its recommendation.
It singled out Cadillac's new CUE infotainment system as "convoluted and frustrating," while faulting the Lincoln's "cramped driving position, ungainly handling, uncomposed ride, and limited visibility."
The reviews will be in the magazine's January issue.

The Obama administration is expanding its online data search of Americans to find potential civil unrest -- like the 2010 Tea Party movement -- and squash it before they take root, a prominent financial advisor has warned clients.
David John Marotta compared the administration's efforts to those used by former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover against his critics and 1960s activists. "Targeting activists isn't anything new. J. Edgar Hoover made it his life's work. What has changed is the vigor with which the government has assumed its own activism against certain groups," he said.
"If you wonder why the National Security Agency is collecting so much online traffic information, it is because you can use such metadata to determine patient zeroes in the intellectual pandemic of beliefs like the Tea Party movement. The idea is that, if they could identify the potential origin of such movements, they could eliminate the threat merely by silencing the source," he wrote on his blog.
Marotta, based in Charlottesville, Va., often blogs for Forbes.
In his latest post for his firm's site, Marotta Wealth Management, he said that the administration has become paranoid about public unrest and is turning against them.
"Government has never been known for customer service. But today it is known primarily for being against the very people it is supposed to serve," he wrote.
"All governments, ours included, survive by using force or the threat of force to skim resources off the top of the earnings of their productive citizens. Most governments do this as quietly as possible via hundreds of small fees and taxes. But when a government is overextended or its control threatened, government officials become more aggressive in their collection and more belligerent in their control.
"Governments, like currency, require legitimacy to stay in power. If citizens don't believe in the control of the government, then the government will lose its power. Regimes are therefore susceptible and fearful of any doubts expressed such as, 'Government does more harm than good.' The administration knows these ideas can spiral out of control and take on a life of their own," Marotta warned.Paul Bedard, the Washington Examiner's "Washington Secrets" columnist, can be contacted at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Two Biotech Movers with Upside Potential
Brian is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
On Tuesday we saw several big moves in the biotechnology space, but two companies in particular are no strangers to big moves. In this piece I am looking at those two stocks to determine their outlook.
Sarepta Therapeutics (NASDAQ: SRPT)
The clinical stage biotechnology company Sarepta Therapeutics continued its march higher with gains of 11% on Tuesday. These gains followed study results from GlaxoSmithKline's (NYSE: GSK) drug drisapersen for the treatment of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). Most analysts predict that if successful the drug has sales potential between $600 million and $1 billion. Currently, Glaxo has more than $40 billion in annual revenue, meaning that this one drug is not as meaningful to the stock, but is a good indication of innovation and a new line of promising technologies.
The results of the study of Glaxo's drug further validate the mechanism of action for Sarepta Therapeutics' Phase 2 drug, eteplirsen, a drug that will be highly watched over the next few weeks. The reason it validates Sarepta's drug eteplirsen is because both it and drisapersen are intended to skip exon 51 of the dystrophin gene, hence restoring the gene's ability to code for a functional form of critical muscle fiber
Sarepta Therapeutics will soon meet with the FDA to discuss its Phase 2 study for its DMD drug eteplirsen. The company and investors are seeking an accelerated approval based on very strong Phase 2 results, and also based on there being no other approved treatment. The results from GlaxoSmithKline could give the company a better shot with the FDA, and if not, it provides more assurance to investors of the drug's upside.
First, I urge you to read my analysis on Sarepta Therapeutics by clicking here. Sarepta is a stock I own and was also my selection last month as the "Value of the Month." However, I would wait until after the FDA meeting to buy the stock, if you don't already own it. There is a 50/50 chance of an accelerated approval; if it's not approved the stock will lose 20%-25% of its value, though if approval is granted the company will gain 15%-20%.
As I explained in my previous article, Sarepta is a company with a great technology, and eteplirsen is an orphan drug. Therefore, Sarepta is going to command the same 8-15 times sales seen in other orphan companies. As a result, with $700 million peak sales potential, a $7 billion market capitalization in five years is not impossible, and if you have a long-term time horizon then you should buy the stock. My point is that you won't miss out on the upside if you wait, but by waiting you will have a better understanding of the drug's future and the time it will take for Sarepta to produce sales.
Repros Therapeutics (NASDAQ: RPRX)
Since March 27, shares of Repros Therapeutics have rallied more than 80%. These large gains have come following a large drug study where its product Androxal met its main goal. As a result, Androxal is poised to enter a fairly large market with peak sales potential of $300 million. This insinuates further upside for Repros, a company trading with a market cap of just $300 million.
In an article last week I explained a good way to play the developments from Repros, and then showed a trend where every big biotech jump since Sarepta has produced further long-term gains. Repros has rallied in the last two days, and my belief is that with news of a successful study, the stock will appreciate to a level at which future sales are baked into its valuation.
The only problem with Repros is that unlike Sarepta there are several questions surrounding management. Earlier this year the stock saw massive losses following an issue with its study, and there are many who are anticipating some sort of push to raise capital. However, the trial from Repros was positive, and at $300 million I believe the upside is far greater than the downside.
A biotechnology stock can change directions abruptly, and can be forever changed with the announcement of just one trial. Both Repros and Sarepta have seen incredible periods due to data and yet still have upside in their shares. To conclude I will say that you should watch both companies, be prepared for volatility, and perhaps be ready to jump in and capitalize on value when it presents itself.

School Resource Deputies
Lt. Rod Bishop
The Kaufman County Sheriffs Office has partnered with Forney Independent School District to provide a proactive approach to help todays youth deal with the pressures that they face each day.
Each SRO preforms the roles of, law enforcement officer, teacher, as well as counselor, and one of the most important goals of each officer is the ability to develop teamwork when fighting the problems that students face.
As a law enforcement officer, we present a positive, friendly image that will allow the students in the schools to approach the SRO. The officers get to know the individual students in his/her assigned school as well as their particular needs. The students get to know the officers as someone more than just a person in a uniform that is there to harass or arrest them, but someone to turn to in a time of need.
SROs are a tool employed by many schools to offer both a deterrent to crime, as well as a way to provide a sense of security and a method of outreach to the youth of our community. The commingling of these interventions provides for on-site security, prevention, as well as proactive measures.

Medieval HL2 Mod 'Age of Chivalry' Going CommercialThe team behind the Half-Life 2 mod Age of Chivalry has announced a commercial version of the multiplayer first-person medieval melee combat mod, built upon Unreal Engine 3.
Chivalry: Battle for Agatha promises "a bigger, better, graphically enhanced game" with support for up to forty-eight players as well as the bullet points of "More weapons. A more fluid movement system. Character customization."
Developer Team Chivalry is building the game upon Epic's Unreal Development Kit, which offers the Unreal Engine 3 and its toolset free for non-commercial use but also has friendly commercial licensing rates. Epic charges a $99 licensing fee up front for commercial releases then a 25% royalty rate on all revenue beyond the first $5,000.
The price, release date and platforms for Chivalry: Battle for Agatha have yet to be confirmed, though considering Team Chivalry's heritage a PC release seems inevitable.
