Nordic Skiing in Vermont – the Winter Gateway to Physical Fitness
Sarah Neith, email@example.com
Nordic skiing has long been considered to be one of the most healthy and beneficial sports. It is an ultimate calorie burner and total body workout. Couple those benefits with clean air and a stunning winter landscape, and you have the cure for the winter blahs. It can be enjoyed by people of all ages and fitness levels, and can be purely recreational or highly aggressive and competitive.
Vermont is home to some of the most well equipped Nordic resorts and stunning trails with sweeping views of the Green Mountains. Snowmaking and grooming also make it a top destination for Nordic enthusiasts and national competitions.
Trapp Family Lodge
Imagine effortlessly gliding through a spruce forest. The landscape rolls up and down under your feet as you kick up the hills and glide down the back side. Your heart rate rises and falls correspondingly. Each trip out allows you to go further and further. That is the beauty of Nordic skiing, you get exactly what you put into it. The more you ski the better your technique becomes in addition to raising your fitness level.
Aside from the physical benefits there are the mental and emotional remunerations. Nothing feels better than the freedom of afforded by the rhythmic kick and glide of Nordic skiing. A whole universe of exploration opens when you take to the snow and efficiently move across it. This, ultimately, is how the sport endears itself most to its participants. This is where the soul is nourished in nature. Those benefits that can't be calculated but fill one with a sense of being.
Trapp Family Lodge offers daily group lessons, equipment rentals and terrain for all abilities. Whether you like to gently glide through the woods or shave seconds off your race pace, Trapp Family Lodge's Nordic Ski School and Center has the equipment and program to take your interest and put it on the trail. They make it easy for you to enjoy the many benefits of Nordic skiing.
Woodstock Inn and Resort
The Woodstock Inn Nordic Center, located at the Golf Club, maintains two trail systems totaling 60 KM (37.28 miles) of well-groomed trails for cross-country skiing and snow shoeing. The center provides skiers with an abundance of mapped trails that surround the picturesque village of Woodstock, VT. Experiences include trails on Mt. Tom which is part of the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park. The Nordic Center shop offers rental and retail ski and snowshoe equipment, as well as clothing. Both private and semi-private lessons are offered. With Woodstock Inn & Resort's Ski Free Program, guests staying at the resort Sunday – Thursday, excluding holiday periods and all the time for children under 14, will receive passes to the Inn's Nordic Center and free lift tickets to Suicide Six Family Ski Area.
Mountain Top Inn & Resort
Snowmaking and grooming at the Nordic Center at The Mountain Top Inn & Resort has been the key to their success over the years. The goal is twofold: to offer cross-country ski trails that provide "first-timers" an enjoyable experience in the hope of having them return; and to offer conditions for the expert, competitive skiers who want a difficult workout to train or just for the fun of it.
Mountain Top's grooming approach is daily for high traffic trails and as needed based on weather for remaining trails. Trails do not open for the season until we have groomed them. Their arsenal includes Our equipment a SMI Pole Cat Fan Gun for coverage on 2km with an average base of one foot compacted snow and a Pisten Bully 100 Nordic Groomer with Power Tiller and Dual Track Setter.
The resort was selected to host the first Annual Paintball Biathlon in 2006 since they were the only Nordic Center open (due to snowmaking). The event has grown from 90 skiers to 300+ in 2012.
Last season Mountain Top hosted the 2012 Eastern HS Championships in March. Despite scarce snowfall the Nordic team prepped and maintained the course for 3 days, expanding snowmaking in order to pull the event off. View images here.
Rikert Nordic Center–
Mom's Monday - This program is designed for moms who want to get out and ski with their young child behind them in a Pulk Sled. Join other like minded moms for skiing, a 2 hour pulk rental and a bowl of soup for just $20

Adult ticket and rentals are not included. Program starts in January
Alpine resorts with Nordic options:
Nordic Center at Bolton Valley
"The backcountry (at Bolton Valley) and even some trail skiing in and around Bolton is the best in the Northeast in terms of access and amount of skiable terrain..." – Nate, Liftopia.com
The Nordic Center at Bolton Valley features100 km of trails with 26 km of groomed Nordic Trails at a high base elevation providing for more snow more often.
Skin or snowshoe a mile to the Bryant Camp, which sleeps 6-8 people, to enjoy access to 5,000 acres of backcountry terrain. ($75/night)
BurkeMountain – Kingdom Trails Nordic Center
The Northeast Kingdom Nordic Club, based at the Kingdom Trails Nordic Center, started a Bill Koch Youth Nordic League in 2010. The first season saw promising participation with over 40 kids ranging from 3 to 13 years old. In 2012, Kingdom Trails saw over 60 kids through this growing program. With surprisingly sufficient snow coverage all season long, the kids of the Bill Koch Youth Nordic League participated in games, instruction, and fun races. Several clinics were also held with help from the staff and students of the Burke Mountain Academy Nordic Program. Kingdom Trails has committed to constructing specific race and training trails just for this league and the organization is thrilled with the support and enthusiasm of the community to keep this League going strong. Although the Kingdom Trails Association is mostly known for mountain biking, the association is committed to maintaining a 60K Nordic Trail system in the winter.
Jay Peak Resort - Clubhouse
When the snow flies, Jay Peak's Clubhouse is transformed to a full-service Nordic Center complete with its own groomer servicing close to 20 km of groomed and tracked trails.

Incorporated into the level learning area is a "Nordic terrain park" that features a series of three gently rolling small hills for gaining confidence with balance, movement and speed control. Daily access to Smugglers' Nordic network is part of the lift ticket inclusion on the resort's three vacation packages.
Stowe Mountain Resort
With hundreds of kilometers of groomed and backcountry trails for skiers of all abilities, Stowe is, quite simply, one of the finest Nordic skiing destinations in North America.
Stowe Mountain Resort's 35 kilometers of groomed and 40 kilometers of backcountry trails are the highest in Stowe. Also available are 5 kilometers of trails specifically for snowshoeing. You can also ski from the alpine resort trails all the way to the village Main Street, 8 miles.

Stratton Mountain
Stratton's Nordic Center takes on-mountain fitness far beyond moguls, steeps and the Sports Center. Twelve km of rolling terrain provides the perfect opportunity to work up a sweat on Nordic skis or snowshoes. Nordic trails wind through hardwood and fir trees in the Sun Bowl, and are groomed for both Classic and Skate skiing. A group lesson is a perfect way to get new skiers into the sport, and classic, skate, snowshoe and junior rentals are available. Want to mix it up? A one day rental allows you to switch equipment throughout the day. Guided snowshoe tours and full moon hikes are another way to get active! www.stratton.com

(This review originally posted on 5/2/04)
"Sorority Babes" starts out like any self respecting teen sex comedy of the era, with 3 hapless (and horny) college kids who decide they're going to get some action via peeping in on a sorority initiation. This isn't any old initiation though, because this one involves Brinke Stevens and Michelle Bauer wearing cut-off t-shirts and panties and being spanked... hard.
Today marks the release of "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull". And, if you live near one of the 4 theaters it's playing in, you can also check out Uwe Boll's "Postal". If you check out either one, feel free to drop by this post and comment to tell us what you thought!
Dimension Films has picked up the rights to remake the Thai horror film "13 Games of Death". Sort of interesting synopsis at the link, with the kicker being that it doesn't seem to involve ghosts. Twist!
Wim Wenders is going to be directing a full on horror picture called "Miso Soup". The pic, starring Willem Dafoe, is about a young Japanese man (Kenji) who guides Americans through the seedy parts of Tokyo nightlife in exchange for money. That is until he runs into Frank, a psychopath that Kenji is afraid is pulling off brutal murders. A presumably "Hitcher-eseque" game ensues. The project sounds cool, although I have to take exception to Wenders' assertion that "Lots of people have used great thrillers to transport political messages but the horror film is rarely used to transport anything but fear." I'm pretty sure we prove that wrong on our podcast every week. Just saying.
Is it possible that our fears about "Fear Itself" being neutered on NBC this summer may be premature? Possibly, but given the track record of the networks and censorship, I won't be holding my breath.
Melissa Joan Hart set to star in a horror flick called "Nine Dead". The film is about a group of strangers who are put in a room and told that one of them will die every 10 minutes until they figure out how they're connected. Kind of sounds like every "Saw" film to me, but the possibility of seeing Clarissa's boobs is too strong for me to ignore this one.
If you're seeking to compile a list of people who should be removed from society, I nominate parents who start fights at Chuck E Cheese's to go straight to the top of the list. Really people, really?
Hey, if you're going to kill yourself, there's nothing I can do about it. That said, do everyone a favor and try not to do it by swallowing a poisonous chemical, that when vomited out will make 54 people at the hospital fall ill. The dude worked on a farm, you mean to tell me he didn't have a gun?
Woman awakens after being dead so long that rigor mortis had set in. And since she's from West Virginia, she's chalking it up to God's handiwork. I'm going to go out on a limb and assume this is the same god that told her that Barack Obama is a secret Nazi/Muslim. Ya, that all sounds reasonable to me.
1934: A group of FBI agents and police officers from two states ambush Bonnie and Clyde on a highway near Gibsland, Louisiana. The men open fire as the bank robbers drive past the concealed posse, unloading hundreds of rounds into the car.
Midnight Meat Train has had it's release date moved UP, from August 1st to July 11th of this year. That takes it out of contention with "Mummy 3" (does anyone really care about that? Really?) and puts it up against "Hellboy II" in it's second week.
The Weinstein's have picked up "Martyrs", a French film, at Cannes with plans for some type of release in the future. The story? Set in the 70's, picture what it would be like if the chick who survived the original "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" grew up with some major issues, and eventually is forced to confront and "exercise" her demons. Sounds pretty interesting to me. The film is released in France on June 18th, no word on when the Weinstein's will drop it on our shores.
Warner Bro's has , and it's just as exciting as one might think. Actually, it's just some corny flash, a little faux metal and the trailer. It is worth noting though that they're continuing the trend of Corey Feldman's head being WAY smaller than everyone else's. So if nothing else, it's worth it for that chuckle.
Stills from "Silent Hill: Homecoming", the first SH game to launch on the Next-Gen systems. Looks pretty sweet to me.
The good news from a recent survey on teens and sex is this, contrary to popular belief, teens aren't engaging in "serial oral sex" as a means to avoid losing their virginity. The bad news is that no matter what the reasons, your daughter is still a slut.
A critic of the Russian government protested the public speech of a Russian Chess legend this week by flying a remote control penis-helicopter onto the stage. You have to check out the video at the link, if only for the moment when the security guard goes all King Kong and swats the penis out of the air. Frigging priceless.
Want to see a photo of a javelin that went through a photographer's leg yesterday? Me neither, but I've already seen it so I'm bringing you down with me.
If you're living in Hong Kong you now have a new mystery meat to worry about, people. Eat up!
337: Emperor Constantine dies. Despite this, his embalmed corpse continues to act as head of state, receiving state dignitaries and daily reports from ministers as if nothing had changed. Constantine's macabre leadership continues through winter. A "Weekend at Bernies" joke seems appropriate here, but I can't find one suitable enough for the occasion, sorry.
The opening scene of "The Orphanage"shows a girl repeatedly knocking three times on a tree and then looking back over her shoulder. As she does this a few times we gradually see that this is part of game and when she has her back turned some other children are creeping up on her, only to freeze when she turns to look at them. It's an apt beginning for a story where looking for something only keeps the truth hidden, not to mention a clever set-up for an appropriately creepy call-back later in the film.
You ever had one of those days when it seems like nothing is going right? When you're just feeling dejected, laying on the couch with the remote, doing your damdest to pass the time without incident? Well, today was turning out to be one of those days, when I stumbled upon "Teen Wolf Too" on TV.

With these mitts and hand warmers on the ATV, they keep my knuckles toasty for those cold hunting mornings. My ATV has a handlebar mounted mirror and I was able to attach these mitts by cutting a small slit on the mitts where the base of the mirror sits then my wife button stitched the slit in camo thread. Fits great, looks great.

Waterproof running jackets are not so hard to come by, but waterproof running shorts are few and far between. The GORE Air GORE-TEX Active Shell Shorts take an innovative approach to wet-weather running. Instead of absorbing water, sticking to the legs or causing overheating (like with tights), these shorts keep water completely out with GORE-TEX®. The unique 3/4 length protects the thighs and knees from the rain, but allows inner moisture to escape.

Assessing blood sugar spikes after eating has been challenging, until now! The Glycomark® blood test measures a glucose-like sugar called 1,5-Anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG) and is a simple blood test used to measure post-meal glucose control. This blood test reflects your average maximum blood glucose and helps you know how many blood sugar spikes you have had over the last 10 to 14 days. Values above 14 are considered ideal. A value of 10 is considered "good". Anything lower is a sign of frequent blood sugar spikes.
Are you a diabetic who routinely tests for hemoglobin A1C? Have you ever wondered if your HbA1C result of 7.0 was good or bad? The Glycomark® test can help. If your GlycoMark is 14, it means you achieved a 7.0 without lots of highs and lows. If your GlycoMark is 2, then you had lots of spikes and crashes to get that average. The ideal combination is a good HbA1c with a high GlycoMark.
Fasting is not necessary for this test. Always take your medications as prescribed. This test is not accurate for anyone taking the diabetic drug "Acarbose" as it will cause falsely lower your results.

Payday loans can be helpful. If you're in a financial bind and you need help paying off some bills payday loans may be the next best step. Especially if you bad credit or no credit at all and you find yourself unable to get approved for other loan types payday loans can be extremely beneficial. However you may find yourself unable to pay the money back at the end of the loan period. Or you may have taken out several different loans and don't have the money to pay them all back.
Whatever the case it's good to know that you do have options. As long as you stay in contact with the lender they should be willing to work things out with you and come to terms on a payment arrangement that works for both parties.
Payday loan consolidation in particular can help in a few different ways. The main payday loan consolidation purpose is to consolidate all of your outstanding payday loans combining them into a single loan you have to pay off. This saves you a great deal of time and effort because you don't have to keep track of multiple loans. Instead you only have the single loan to focus on which frees up your time and effort for other things.
The first step is finding the right consolidation loan company to go through and you also have to get all the documentation ready. Be prepared before going in for your appointment so you have everything ready and can make sure you get the best results. This is something you want to get taken care of sooner rather than later so you don't have to worry about interest charges and other extra fees.
There are more than enough consolidation companies for payday loans to choose from. Reputation is everything and you want to do business with a company you can trust in. Find out more about any company you're considering read reviews and otherwise do research to learn more about a company before getting started.

Then on Saturday, Nov. 13, the expert Produce Teams at Schnucks will be hosting Frieda's Produce University®, featuring the Klamath Pearls as well as specialty onion and garlic varieties. Taking place at all Schnucks and Logli locations in Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa, Tennessee and Mississippi, the 8-hour Produce University® open-house provides an opportunity for customers to see, touch, taste and ask questions about the featured produce items.
Frieda's Organic Klamath Pearl Potatoes are a specialty Irish potato variety that boasts a moist white flesh and ultra-thin skin. Grown exclusively in the Klamath Basin region on the border of California and Oregon, Klamath Pearls are USDA organic and cultivated in concert with the natural habitat.
Also included in the Produce University® demonstrations are Frieda's Pearl and Boiler Onions, Shallots and Black Garlic. New to markets, Black Garlic is a trend-setting new product that's made by naturally aging whole garlic bulbs in a patented fermentation process, making the cloves turn black and soft and changing the flavor to a mild, sweet-savory "umami" taste.
On Nov. 13, shoppers are welcome to stop by the produce department anytime between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. to discover ways to handle, prepare and enjoy these gourmet ingredients. In addition, informational recipe brochures will be available both at the Schnucks Cooks counter and in the produce department.
"Our Organic Klamath Pearls are really a potato for foodies and we are excited to include them in both the Schnucks Cooks and Produce University® programs," said Karen Caplan, Frieda's President and CEO. "These sustainably-farmed potatoes have a fabulous flavor and texture, and there's no need to peel their thin skins."

Men's Basketball vs Concordia 2005
January 8, 2005
OLYMPIA, WA -- It was the Concordia University Cavaliers making baskets when it mattered tonight, as the Evergreen State College Geoducks dropped their second Cascade Collegiate Conference match-up in two nights. In an otherwise dead heat, the Geoducks missed some bunnies down the stretch to let the Cavs escape Olympia with an 86-82 win.
The loss dropped Evergreen to 1-5 in conference play while Concordia picked up their first conference win. Concordia moves to 7-9 on the season while Evergreen takes a step backward to 6-13 on the year.
The games first half saw an up-tempo game with both teams looking to push the ball to the hoop. Evergreen got good dribble penetration from Giovonne Woods and Durriell Jones as regulars Josh Peterson and Walter Tucker watched from the bench. Evergreen managed a respectable 54 percent shooting in the first half as Barson Collins led the team with 14 points from the paint.
But Concordia managed to take a 50-50 tie into half time as the Geoducks had no answer for Michael Lay whose drives to the basket resulted in easy baskets for himself and his teammates on the dish. Lay had nine first half points and five assists.
Evergreen went on a 7-0 run to start the second half as Walter Tucker tallied a quick five points. But Lay converted two steals into easy baskets and pulled the Cavs back to within one, 57-56.
The two teams stayed close until CU opened a 74-67 lead as Lay picked the Geoducks two more times.
Evergreen pulled back to within two when Antonio McClinon hit two free throws and Duriell Jones knocked down a three with just under eight minutes remaining.
But down the stretch, Concordia's John Lee hit a three for an 81-76 Cavalier lead. Evergreen responded with a slew of missed jumpers. Barson Collins, who led all scorers with 24 points, threw down a dunk with 1:50 to play to get Evergreen to within three. But the Geoducks were forced to foul with the Cavs leading by two with 35 seconds to go.
CU missed four straight free throws to give Evergreen hope. But the Geoducks came up empty on the offensive end and the Cavaliers slipped out of the College Recreation Center with a 86-82 win.

Independent Expression Radio
Lori Toye is not a prophet of doom and gloom. The fact that she became a prophet at all is highly unlikely. Reared in a small Idaho farming community as a member of the conservative Missouri Synod Lutheran church, Lori had never heard of meditation, spiritual development, reincarnation, channeling or clairvoyant sight.
Her unusual spiritual journey began in Washington State, when, as advertising manager of a weekly newspaper, she answered a request to pick up an ad for a local health food store. Upon entering, a woman at the counter pointed a finger at her and said, "You have work to do for Master Saint Germain!"
The next several years were filled with spiritual enlightenment that introduced Lori, then only twenty-two years old, to the most exceptional and inspirational information she had ever encountered. Lori became a student of Ascended Master teachings.
Awakened one night by the luminous figure of Saint Germain at the foot of her bed, her work had begun. Later in the same year, an image of a map appeared in her dream. Four teachers clad in white robes were present, pointing out earth changes that would shape the future United States.
Five years later, faced with the stress of a painful divorce and rebuilding her life as a single mother, Lori attended spiritual meditation classes. While there she shared her experience, and encouraged by friends she began to explore the dream through daily meditation. The four Beings appeared again, and expressed a willingness to share the information. Over a six-month period, they gave over 80 sessions of material, including detailed information that would later become the I AM America Map.
Clearly she had to produce the map. The only means to finance it was to sell her house. She put her home up for sale, and in a depressed market, it sold the first day at full asking price.
She produced the map in 1989, rolled them on her kitchen table, and sold them through word-of-mouth. She then launched a lecture tour of the Northwest and California. Hers was the first Earth Changes Map published, and many others have followed, but the rest is history.
From the tabloids to the New York Times, The Washington Post, television interviews in the U.S., London, and Europe, Lori's mission was to honor the material she had received. The material is not hers, she stresses. It belongs to the Masters, and their loving, healing approach is disseminated through the I AM America Publishing Company operated by her husband and spiritual partner, Lenard Toye. Working together they organized free classes of the teachings and their instructional pursuits led them to form the School of the Four Pillars which included holistic and energy healing techniques. In 1995 and 1996 they sponsored the first Prophecy Conferences in Philadelphia and Phoenix, Arizona.
Other publications include three additional prophecy maps, four books, a video, and more than 60 audio tapes based on sessions with Master Teacher Saint Germain and other Ascended Masters.
Spiritual in nature, I AM America is not a church, religion, sect, or cult. There is no interest or intent in amassing followers or engaging in any activity other than what Lori and Lenard can do on their own to publicize the materials they have been entrusted with.
They have also been directed to build the first Golden City community. A very positive aspect of the vision is that all the maps include areas called, "Golden Cities." These places hold a high spiritual energy, and are where sustainable communities are to be built using solar energy alongside Classical Feng Shui engineering and infrastructure. The first community, Wenima Village, is currently being planned for development.
Concerned that some might misinterpret the Maps' messages as doom and gloom and miss the metaphor for personal change, or not consider the spiritual teachings attached to the maps, Lori emphasizes the Masters stressed that this was a prophecy of choice. Prophecy allows for choice in making informed decisions and promotes the opportunity for cooperation and harmony. Lenard and Lori's vision for I AM America is to share the Ascended Masters' prophecies as spiritual warnings to heal and renew our lives.

GU Sports (sports street marketing) was founded in Berkeley, Ca, in the early 90's by Dr. William Vaughan. The mission from day one, which is still true today, is to provide athletes the best exercise specific nutrition products available. Period! After formulating the world's first energy bar, Dr. Vaughan was disappointed in that the bar, due to its high level of fat, fiber and protein, did not work for athletes while they were training and racing. His own daughter, Laura, a very accomplished ultra-marathoner, continued to have severe stomach problems when consuming bars during races. "how can we call it an energy bar for athletes when all it does is shut down the system for 45 minutes or so while the body digests all those useless-to-athletes ingredients?" asked a frustrated Dr. Vaughan.

GU Energy Roctane Ultra Endurance With Caffeine Canister Tropical Fruit - 1.56 kg (3.44 lbs)
GU Energy Roctane Energy Drink is a carbohydrate intensive energy drink for ultra distance and intense efforts. GU Energy Roctane Energy Drink contains the critical carbs and electrolyte replenishment that endurance athletes need to compete at high levels. And GU Energy Roctane Energy Drink comes in a super light tasting, easy to mix formula for fueling serious efforts. GU Energy Roctane Energy Drink also contains caffeine, taurine, and beta-alanine to help increase performance. There's a lot in there for days when a lot's going on…
What's in GU Energy Roctane Energy Drink?Each GU Energy Roctane Energy Drink serving contains 240 calories of complex and simple carbs that is optimized for rapid absorption and energy accessibility. Key electrolytes such as sodium and potassium help with hydration. Here's a breakdown of Roctane Energy Drink's other key performance ingredients:
How is it different?Does anybody actually like eating chalk? No, they don't, especially endurance athletes who are hungry and need performance calories. Then why do so many drinks on the market taste "chalky"? We believe athletes deserve, and appreciate a carbohydrate intensive, electrolyte packed energy drink that performs the way it should and tastes good. Enter Roctane Energy Drink.
How can I use Roctane Ultra Endurance Energy Drink with Roctane Gel?If you already use Roctane gel, you can substitute some Roctane gel for Roctane energy drink. This will help tailor energy intake to your needs and provide the beneficial ingredients found in both the gel and drink. While many ingredients are similar in the two products (carbohydrates, branched chain amino acids, histidine, and caffeine) each has unique ingredients which may also help improve performance (gel - OKG for muscle recovery, vitamin E as an antioxidant; drink - taurine to help heart and muscle function, beta-alanine to help increase muscle buffering capacity). Therefore, using both products will help provide every nutritional advantage possible to athletes who demand the best from themselves and their nutrition. For many athletes, all they may need during prolonged exercise is one 21oz bottle of Roctane drink and 1 Roctane gel per hour for 340 calories and extra nutritional support to maximize performance.
Mix 2 Scoops per 21 oz of water.

Endothelial Cilia Mediate Low Flow Sensing during Zebrafish Vascular Development.
Goetz, J.G., Steed, E., Ferreira, R.R., Roth, S., Ramspacher, C., Boselli, F., Charvin, G., Liebling, M., Wyart, C., Schwab, Y. & Vermot, J.
Cell Rep. 2014 Mar 13;6(5):799-808. doi: 10.1016/j.celrep.2014.01.032. Epub 2014Feb 20.
The pattern of blood flow has long been thought to play a significant role in vascular morphogenesis, yet the flow-sensing mechanism that is involved at early embryonic stages, when flow forces are low, remains unclear. It has been proposed that endothelial cells use primary cilia to sense flow, but this has never been tested in vivo. Here we show, by noninvasive, high-resolution imaging of live zebrafish embryos, that endothelial cilia progressively deflect at the onset of blood flow and that the deflection angle correlates with calcium levels in endothelial cells. We demonstrate that alterations in shear stress, ciliogenesis, or expression of the calcium channel PKD2 impair the endothelial calcium level and both increase and perturb vascular morphogenesis. Altogether, these results demonstrate that endothelial cilia constitute a highly sensitive structure that permits the detection of low shear forces during vascular morphogenesis. VIDEO ABSTRACT:

A pathway for unicellular tube extension depending on the lymphatic vessel determinant Prox1 and on osmoregulation.
Kolotuev, I., Hyenne, V., Schwab, Y., Rodriguez, D. & Labouesse, M.
Nat Cell Biol. 2013 Feb;15(2):157-68. doi: 10.1038/ncb2662. Epub 2013 Jan 20.
The mechanisms regulating the extension of small unicellular tubes remain poorly defined. Here we identify several steps in Caenorhabditis elegans excretory canal growth, and propose a model for lumen extension. Our results suggest that the basal and apical excretory membranes grow sequentially: the former extends first like an axon growth cone; the latter extends next as a result of an osmoregulatory activity triggering peri-apical vesicles (a membrane reservoir) to fuse with the lumen. An apical cytoskeletal web including intermediate filaments and actin crosslinking proteins ensures straight regular lumen growth. Expression of several genes encoding proteins mediating excretory lumen extension, such as the osmoregulatory STE20-like kinase GCK-3 and the intermediate filament IFB-1, is regulated by ceh-26 (here referred to as pros-1), which we found essential for excretory canal formation. Interestingly, PROS-1 is homologous to vertebrate Prox1, a transcription factor controlling lymphatic vessel growth. Our findings have potential evolutionary implications for the origin of fluid-collecting organs, and provide a reference for lymphangiogenesis.

A precise and rapid mapping protocol for correlative light and electron microscopy of small invertebrate organisms.
Kolotuev, I., Schwab, Y. & Labouesse, M.
Biol Cell. 2009 Dec 4;102(2):121-32.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: CLEM (correlative live cell and electron microscopy) seeks to bridge the data acquired with different imaging strategies, typically between light microscopy and electron microscopy. It has been successfully applied in cell cultures, although its use in multicellular systems is hampered by difficulties in locating the ROI (region of interest). RESULTS: We developed a CLEM technique that enables easy processing of small model animals and is adequate both for morphology and immunoelectron-microscopic specimen preparations. While this method has been initially developed for Caenorhabditis elegans samples, we found that it works equally well for Drosophila samples. It enables handling and observation of single animals of any complex genotype in real time, fixation by high-pressure freezing and flat embedding. Our major improvement has been the development of a precise mapping system that considerably simplifies and speeds up the retrospective location of the ROI within 1 mum distance. This method can be successfully used when correlative microscopy is required, as well as to facilitate the treatment of non-correlative TEM procedures. Our improvements open the possibility to treat statistically significant numbers of animals processed by electron microscopy and considerably simplifies electron-microscopic protocols, making them more accessible to a wider range of researchers. CONCLUSIONS: We believe that this technique will contribute to correlative studies in multicellular models and will facilitate the time-demanding procedure of specimen preparation for any kind of TEM.

From dynamic live cell imaging to 3D ultrastructure: novel integrated methods for high pressure freezing and correlative light-electron microscopy.
Spiegelhalter, C., Tosch, V., Hentsch, D., Koch, M., Kessler, P., Schwab, Y. & Laporte, J.
PLoS One. 2010 Feb 3;5(2):e9014.
BACKGROUND: In cell biology, the study of proteins and organelles requires the combination of different imaging approaches, from live recordings with light microscopy (LM) to electron microscopy (EM). METHODOLOGY: To correlate dynamic events in adherent cells with both ultrastructural and 3D information, we developed a method for cultured cells that combines confocal time-lapse images of GFP-tagged proteins with electron microscopy. With laser micro-patterned culture substrate, we created coordinates that were conserved at every step of the sample preparation and visualization processes. Specifically designed for cryo-fixation, this method allowed a fast freezing of dynamic events within seconds and their ultrastructural characterization. We provide examples of the dynamic oligomerization of GFP-tagged myotubularin (MTM1) phosphoinositides phosphatase induced by osmotic stress, and of the ultrastructure of membrane tubules dependent on amphiphysin 2 (BIN1) expression. CONCLUSION: Accessible and versatile, we show that this approach is efficient to routinely correlate functional and dynamic LM with high resolution morphology by EM, with immuno-EM labeling, with 3D reconstruction using serial immuno-EM or tomography, and with scanning-EM.

Possibly a lot of money say Antiquorum.
Antiquorum's spring season got off to a running start, with four world records broken and nearly $7.2 million in sales achieved at its Important Collectors' Wristwatches, Pocket Watches & Clocks auction.
Nearly 400 online bidders were joined by others who bid by telephone, on-site and on commission. Bidders hailed from all corners of the globe, including Australia, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Taiwan and the United States. Of the 347 timepieces on the auction block, 119 percent were sold in terms of value and 88 percent were sold by lot, according to a press release issued after the auction, held Wednesday in New York.
The top lot of the sale, the Patek Philippe Ref. 5029, lot 343, fetched $590,800, which set a world record for that particular reference. Record sales were also achieved for the Patek Philippe Ref. 5013, lot 344, which sold for $523,600 and the Patek Philippe Ref. 3974, lot 113, which fetched $518,000 in the saleroom. Panerai also achieved a world record with lot 269, the "PAM 21," selling for $140,400.
Collectors also enthusiastically competed for Rolex wristwatches. Of note was lot 331, the so-called "James Bond" Submariner, which sold for $82,600. In addition, the Rolex "Comex" Submariner, lot 333, fetched $73,160, and lot 33, the so-called "Black Dial Pre-Daytona," Ref. 6238, achieved $88,500.
"The success for our first auction of 2007 is a clear indication of the strength of the U.S. watch market," Evan Zimmermann, director of Antiquorum USA, said in the release.

Health & Wellness: Fall hikes in Whatcom County worth the drive
Published on Thu, Sep 13, 2012 by

North Cascades summits aren't unattainable to lightly equipped day hikers with tight schedules and high expectations.
If you want to experience a few of the most jaw-dropping vistas in the North Cascades, yet lack the time, technical skills or stamina that many peaks in this region require, you still have options. Read on for three low-effort, high-reward summit hikes – relatively short hikes (within a few hours of Blaine) with awesome summit views.
Sauk Mountain
Round-trip distance: 4.2 miles
Elevation: 5,537 feet
Total elevation gain: 1,200 feet
Most hikes in the North Cascades begin under a canopy of conifers, but this one begins with wide-open views of the Skagit River valley – right from the parking lot.
Not far into the hike, a narrow path ascends via a dizzying number of switchbacks, but they're short. None of the trail is overly exposed, but you will need to watch your footing in a few sections.
After winding around the mountain up to the summit ridge, you'll arrive at the site of a former fire lookout. This is where most hikers stop to soak in the views. The true summit is only a short distance away and a few feet higher, but it requires a sketchy and exposed scramble.
No matter where you turn around, you'll find expansive views from all points along the summit ridge. On clear days you'll be able to see Mt. Baker, the Pickets, Glacier Peak, Mt. Rainier, the Olympics, the San Juan islands and much more. And when you realize that all this eye candy cost you a mere two miles and 1,200 vertical feet, you may even feel a bit guilty about it. Or not.
On your way back down, be careful to not take the spur trail down to Sauk Lake, unless that is your intention.
Directions: From I-5, drive east on State Route 20 (North Cascades Highway) past Concrete, then turn left onto Forest Road 1030 (Sauk Mountain Road). Drive up FR 1030 for a little more than seven miles and take a side road to the right, and then continue up that road for about a quarter mile to the trailhead parking area. A Northwest Forest Pass (or America the Beautiful Interagency/National Parks Annual Pass) is required.
Winchester Mountain
Round-trip distance: 3.5 miles
Elevation: 6,521 feet
Total elevation gain: 1,300 feet
This short, relatively easy hike offers some of the finest views around, which is probably why it's so popular. Plan on going early to beat the traffic up the narrow road and the crowds on the trail.
The trail starts in between the Twin Lakes, and in no time it begins climbing a steepening slope of evergreens, tall grass and wildflowers.
If you become enamored by the scenery at the beginning of this hike, you'll be happy to know that the views continue to improve with each step you ascend.
The hardest part of the route is where the trail traverses a steep slope up to a rocky ridge, right before switchbacking up the southwest side of the mountain. As you approach this point, it will look worse than it really is. Just take it slowly and step carefully.
Before you know it you'll reach the summit, which is home to a restored fire lookout thanks to the Mt. Baker Club.
Saunter around the lookout cabin and enjoy the intimate views of Tomyhoi Peak, American Border Peak, Mt. Larrabee, the Pleiades, Mt. Shuksan, Mt. Baker and countless peaks to the east. You'll also have a commanding view of the turquoise-hued Twin Lakes directly below.
Directions: From Bellingham, take State Route 542 (Mt. Baker Highway) east. About 13 miles past Glacier, turn left onto Forest Road 3065 (Twin Lakes Road), which is just past a department of transportation building. Immediately angle left, staying on FR 3065. After about 4.5 miles, you'll pass the Yellow Aster Butte trailhead parking area at a sharp switchback, and if you have 4WD, a high-clearance vehicle or a low-clearance 2WD vehicle that you don't care much about, you should be able to make it all the way up another 2.5 miles to the Twin Lakes area. Sometimes snowdrifts and/or fallen trees block the road, so check conditions before you go. A Northwest Forest Pass (or America the Beautiful Interagency/National Parks Annual Pass) is required.
Skyline Divide
Round-trip distance: 4-9 miles
Elevation: 5,800 to 6,563 feet
Total elevation gain: 1,500-2,500 feet
Skyline Divide may not be a proper mountain, but once you gain this ridge, you'll surely feel like you're on top of one.
As you break out of the woods and onto the ridge, just two miles and 1,500 feet of elevation beyond the trailhead, you'll pop out onto an idyllic alpine meadow. A gentle hill up to the left makes the perfect place to stop and picnic while viewing Mt. Shuksan, Mt. Baker and seemingly countless other peaks in every direction.
On the other hand, if you turn to the right after gaining the ridge and then follow the path along the undulating ridge all the way to Point 6563 and back, you will gain another 2,500 feet of elevation and hike about nine miles total. And for that extra effort, you will be rewarded with increasingly dramatic views of Mt. Baker's north face.
Directions: From Bellingham, take State Route 542 (Mt. Baker Highway) east. About a mile past Glacier, take a right onto Forest Road 39 (Glacier Creek Road), and then take an immediate left onto Forest Road 37. Follow this gravel road for almost 13 miles to the trailhead parking lot at the end of the road. A Northwest Forest Pass (or America the Beautiful Interagency/National Parks Annual Pass) is required.

Welcome to the Center for Spiritual Living Carson City!
If you are like me, you believe that there are no accidents in this world, and there is a reason you landed on this web site. I hope you find with us the inspiration and spiritual food that nourishes you.
We are part church, part spiritual fellowship, and part school.
The church part? Well, we hold Sunday services, complete with a talk (not a sermon), music and collection plate. This is where most people show up for the first time, although it is not unheard of for someone to sign up for a class without ever attending a Sunday Celebration Service.
The spiritual fellowship part is about being with like minded people. If you sometimes find yourself wondering about this God stuff, or thinking that the traditional ways you experienced God and religion when you were growing up don't really work for you, you might find a home here. We have no dogma, no rules, and we really do honor all paths to spirituality. Many of our members claim "spiritual but not religious" status.
The school part is about learning and teaching. We have classes, lots and lots of classes. Our organization is primarily a teaching one, and I would rather see you sign up for a class then simply attend Sunday after Sunday and never experience the joy and love of living that this teaching has to offer.
We have some very special things going on right now.
First of all, I encourage you to come on by on Sunday, September 28. We have a guest speaker coming to give the talk that day, his name is Gregory Toole. He is bringing copies of his book for sale and will autograph it for you, and will be holding a workshop. Rev. Gregory's web site is here.
This flyer explains everything else:
And, on the 1st and 2nd Thursdays of every month, our Practitioner Lori Greer holds a coffee and conversation meeting at Comma Coffee in Carson City, at 7:30 AM. I know, that's pretty early. Let me tell you that I am not a morning person and it is SO worth it to go!
I hope you will come and visit, and maybe stay to play! It is a wonderful playground!
Please accept our invitation to visit us soon!
- The Center has changed my life! ~JB
- I love the community. Like minded people have changed my thinking about the world around me. ~CH
- It's a great bunch of people and I am really seeing life differently now. ~DS

Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev probably never imagined leaving his brain to science. But we should suggest the idea to whomever has custody of his remains. Neuroscientists should be given the chance to examine his brain closely.
Consider the story of Charles Whitman. In the early hours of Aug. 1, 1966, he killed his mother, and then his wife. Later that morning, he got organized and purchased firearms and ammunition and brought them, along with his sniper's skill, to the top of a tower at the University of Texas in Austin. He began shooting and — by the time an Austin policeman's bullets put him down — he had killed 17 people and wounded 32 others. In the 24 hours before the end of his siege, Whitman wrote several notes, including one requesting an autopsy to determine whether or not something was wrong with his brain.

Coming to you from 24 hours in the future, it's this week's Developer Week in Review.
All your news cycles are belong to us
We're using the O'Reilly Tempro-Spatial Distorter to send you back news of Today's's iPad 2 launch before it's even happened. Who could have predicted that the iPad 2 would have both a 3D Retina display and Smell-o-vision? But the real shocker had to be the announcement that the iTunes store was finally going to have the long-missing catalog of Up With People available for sale.
Ok, so we don't have a time machine, and deadlines dictate that this will be going to edit before the Big Announcement today. I'm sure one or two other news outlets will be covering the event, so you can probably find out what happened sometime later this week. For those keeping score, this is something like the 3rd or 4th Big Announcement so far this year, and we're only through February. It must be truly depressing to be anyone else in the industry, and have to compete with Apple's PR machine.
Unnoticed in all of this is that Google has replaced their Gingerbread Man with a more insectile sculpture, as Android Honeycomb begins to appear in the wild. Remember folks, Honeycomb's got a Big Big Byte.
New patents pending?
Once upon a time, I did an article on patent reform, and as part of it I interviewed a staffer in Sen. Patrick Leahy's (D-Vt.) office, since Leahy sits on the Judiciary Committee. Ever since then, I get at least one press release a week from the Senator's office about the never-ending progress of patent reform legislation (and with no opt out link …). I ignore the stuff most of the time, but this week I got notice that some very interesting provisions have been added.
The first is an item entitled "Create a pilot program to review the validity of business method patents." It goes on to explain:
Many business method patents are of dubious validity because they are not truly inventive. This provision will create a temporary, limited proceeding at the USPTO to challenge business method patents.
So it looks like Bilski lives on, and maybe some of the truly junky software patents may finally get a second look.
The other item that caught my eye is: "End fee diversion at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office; establish a revolving fund to ensure that funds collected by the USPTO can be used at the USPTO." This is a long-standing sore point, in that the USPTO is regularly raided for cash, leaving them underfunded to hire examiners. This, in turn, leads to the junky patents mentioned above.
Of course, as the press release baldly states:
Congressional efforts to reform the nation's patent system first began in 2005. The Senate Judiciary Committee has reported patent reform legislation to the full Senate in each of the last three Congresses.
In other words, don't hold your breath.
P <> NP, at least for now
The world held its breath recently as word came that there may have been a breakthrough in the long quest for P = NP. The world started breathing again this week, as word came that the promising line of attack wasn't so promising after all.
P = NP is one of the most vexing problems left in theoretical computer science, and also the one most likely to make a lay listener's eyes glaze over. As assistance to anyone trying to explain P = NP to their mother (for whatever reason), may we suggest the following one sentence description, courtesy of Wikipedia?
Suppose that solutions to a problem can be verified quickly. Then, can the solutions themselves also be computed quickly?
This will almost certainly leave her just as confused as before, but will lead her to believe the $50,000 she spent on your CS degree was worth the money.
Got news?
We're cranking up the power on the Time Portal, so next week we'll be bringing you news of the 2011 WWDC and the results of the 2012 presidential elections. If you want to get us news the old fashioned way, please send tips or leads here.

The city of Port Neches held a ribbon cutting ceremony Thursday afternoon inviting the community in for a tour of the new city hall building. Mayor, Glenn Johnson tells 12 News HD, the new facility was constructed to withstand a hurricane, giving it the ability to serve the city in three functions: as city hall, a central dispatch center and, in case of a mass emergency, like a hurricane, city council chambers will serve as the emergency operations center.
The than 11,400 square foot building was built to be a safe place during a hurricane with the ability to withstand wind speeds of 153 miles per hour. Officials say the building on Merriman Street is eight feet off the ground, has backup generators and shutters for all windows. It has state of the art high tech capabilities to ensure the city emergency command center stays up and operational during emergency situations. Mayor Glenn Johnson tells 12 News HD, this building is an investment in the city, "The citizens of Port Neches deserve that new city hall and we are proud for the city. This city hall is an investment for the next 75 years and it will serves us well."
The building also houses the central dispatch center for 911 calls. The design and construction process began back in 2005. And was built with funds from a $2.6 million grant the city received from the Coast Guard.
Thursday afternoon city officials held their first city council meeting in the new facility.

Yesterday, my husband and I drove to a college town 80 minutes away to buy at Trader Joe's and have lunch at a beautifully restored hotel and restaurant. They did a first class restoration, lovely carved wood, an open stainless steel kitchen so you can watch the chef work, etc.
We both ordered a type of hot sandwich. Gene's was a breast of chicken with roasted red bell peppers; mine a meatball with marinara sauce. His chicken was burned, and very dry. My meatballs (menu said, "hand rolled fresh, every day") were very dry, hard to swallow dry, burned on one side, but with a good marinara sauce. Salad was on the same plate as our sandwiches, over dressed (soggy) with the dressing running under the sandwich making for soggy vinaigrette flavored bread. Service was fast and attentive, and the check arrived soon after we finished. There were only two other tables filled.
I did not want to complain to the food server, but came home and wondered about writing a letter to the management expressing my disappointment. What would you do?
I ate lunch there one month ago, my veggie pizza was wonderful and friend's Asian Salad was very good.

During oral argument in the case raising constitutional challenges to California's anti-gay law, Proposition 8, Justice Antonin Scalia sought to help out the attorney defending the law, by providing him "some concrete things."
One of the supposed concrete things Scalia pushed, as The Washington Post's Ezra Klein notes, was anything but. Scalia claimed that there is "considerable disagreement among" sociologists over the effects on children raised by same-sex couples. But as Klein reports that is simply not true and Scalia should have known that.
In a friend-of-the-court brief before the high court, the American Sociological Association said, "The clear and consistent consensus in the social science profession is that across a wide range of indicators, children fare just as well when they are raised by same-sex parents when compared to children raised by opposite-sex parents."
Klein blasts Scalia for pushing a supposedly "concrete" example of the harm that could occur if states were to stop excluding same-sex couples from marriage. "Scalia offered no details or evidence of this considerable disagreement among sociologists, and it's hard to believe he's a better judge of the profession than the ASA, whose brief he notably declined to mention," Klein wrote.
