Research Interests: We have identified several new proteins that are involved in mammary epithelial cell transformation. We are testing the roles of the those proteins in negative regulation of cell-matrix and cell-cell adhesion. Mouse models are currently used to examine the role of these novel targets in epithelial cell growth, differentiation, development, and oncogenesis using both in vitro and in vivo (knock-out) approaches. Furthermore, an important ongoing area of research is to examine the role of these novel proteins in breast and other carcinomas tumor progression by examining their expression and localization in human tumor tissues.

Research Interests: The research in my lab is focused on understanding how genes and hormones impact our risk of developing certain diseases. One project seeks to understand how the hormone estrogen impacts the risk of developing lupus, an autoimmune disease that is ~10 times more common in women than men. We also study how the action of genetic factors that impact lupus risk are influenced by estrogens. A second project focuses on determining the role of genetic factors and estrogens in the risk of colon cancer, which is more common in men than women. This research will not only enhance our understanding of how genes and hormones impact disease risk, but also has the potential to assist in the development of more effective prevention and treatment of these diseases. Toward this goal, my lab is currently investigating the use of targeted drug delivery systems to deliver hormone modulating drugs to treat these diseases.

Research Interests: Despite advances in treatment, leukemia and lymphoma are often fatal diseases in people. Our laboratory research is concentrating on find out out in greater detail what changes occur at the molecular level in B-cell cancers of the immune system. By determining what changes occur, especially in cells that become resistant to chemotherapy, we are trying to help design better therapy for patients.

Runqing Lu, Ph.D.
Associate Professor
E-mail: email@example.com
Research Interests: An active immune system depends on the development of the lymphocytes that secrete antibodies. This requires a number of proteins, both inside and outside the lymphocytes. We are looking at how internal transcription factors that control gene expression work together to promote and regulate the formation of active antibody-secreting B-lymphocytes. This is being accomplished using mutant mice that have lost important proteins in this pathway and looking at how their lymphocytes are affected.

Research Interests: My research is in genomics. The rapid progress of genomics science in recent years has made revolutionary impact on biology and medicine. Analyzing life process at genome level provides systems information to understand the basis of physiology and to study diseases. My research topics include the studies of transcriptome, which reflects biological activities of the genome under physiological or pathological conditions; the studies of genome structural abnormalities, which represent the genetic factors contributing to various diseases; and the development of next-generation DNA sequencing-based technologies and bioinformatics tools, which are required to analyze the high-complex genome. National Human Genome Research Institute and National Cancer Institute of National Institute of Health, the Department of Defense, and multiple private foundations have supported my studies.

News and Events Details
The buzz of interesting conversation emanated from the Multicultural Center when 10 professional writers from the Twin Ports met with UWS students at Careers in Writing Night, an event co-hosted by the Writing Program and Career Services.
The evening afforded students the chance to sit down casually with professional writers to learn about facets of professional writing such as graduate study, self-employment, day jobs, writing groups, agents, and other "real world" elements of the job.
Taylor Burm, sophomore, offered her impression: "Careers in Writing was an amazing way for me to connect with people who are just as passionate about writing as I am. The professional writers gave me great insight on how to become a successful writer."
The 10 writers represented a variety of fields and genres, and they included 3 UWS alumni: Dr. Jo Mackiewicz, Professor of Scientific and Technical Communication at Auburn University, Paul Lundgren of PerfectDuluthDay, and Maria Lockwood of the Superior Telegram. Other writers included local freelancer Jennifer Derrick; Lucie Amundsen, public relations coordinator at Glensheen Mansion; local novelist Jen Wright, and Chelsea Tweed, a technical writer at Cirrus Aircraft. Additionally, 3 UWS writing instructors also spoke with students: Yvonne Rutford, Tina Higgins, and Dr. Jayson Iwen.
Of the chance to speak extracurricularly with students, Iwen said: "I thought it was fun, and probably quite useful, to discuss aspects of writing that don't generally get discussed in classes, such as potential career paths, the business and legal aspects of publishing, and the writing life off the page."
This was the second Careers in Writing Night, the first being held in April 2012. The event was funded in part by a grant from the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning. It will planned again for students of all majors in Spring 2015.

"The Mayflower" will be docked at Holiday World next Spring.
"Since 2006, when we expanded Holiday World to include a Thanksgiving-themed section, we've received hundreds of suggestions to add a classic swinging ship ride and name it the Mayflower," says park president Matt Eckert. "We chose the anniversary date of the Pilgrims setting sail for America to announce that our new ride for 2014 is our own Mayflower."
Eckert says the new family ride will carry up to 60 riders at a time, swinging in an arc 54-feet-high over a pool of water.
"We're not finished with Thanksgiving," says Eckert. "Just as it's our American tradition to serve a bounteous Thanksgiving meal, there are more 'servings' planned for the coming years."
Additional projects for 2014 include:
• Friday Night Fireworks (Friday evenings from June 13 through August 1)
• Extended Splashin' Safari hours
• Summer Fun Card program, for multi-day summer visits
• New restaurant and shop in Splashin' Safari
• Covered-bridge entry to Thanksgiving section
• More cabanas
• Additional benches and shade structures
• Parking lot improvements
Eckert says the cost of next year's improvements will total $8 million. Ticket prices for Holiday World & Splashin' Safari will not increase in 2014.
Holiday World & Splashin' Safari will reopen to the public on September 14 and 15 after being closed this weekend for private outings. Happy Halloween Weekends begin September 21. For more information, visit HolidayWorld.com or call 1-800-467-2682.

Not all surprises are good ones. No one knows that better than a woman in a relationship. I have a friend who met and married the so-called man of her dreams within six months. A year later, he dropped a major bombshell -- he had been married before. Even more shocking: He had been married twice before. For whatever reason, it never previously came up. That was probably just as much her fault as it was his. She clearly didn't ask enough questions. But sometimes, nothing can compare us for the crap that comes out of their mouths. Check out the 15 things a woman never wants to hear her man say.
What other ridiculous surprises do men spring on their wives and girlfriends?

I got introduced to the "woman" he eventually cheated on me with as "the person I would be dating if I wasn't dating you" on our anniversary no less.
I WISH he would say #14 to me!!!!
Well if she were a decent and pretty woman she probably would never hear #6.
BrainyMommy- your comment is ridiculous. If she's decent and good looking she'll never hear number 6? Because only horrible ugly women ever hear that?
Well said, Common.Sense. An open marriage isn't for everybody (and hopefully you would talk about that sort of lifestyle BEFORE committing to marriage) but poly relationships can work well, so long as everyone's on the same page.

NCC Committed To 'Beltwide'
The National Cotton Council-coordinated Beltwide Cotton Conferences has a new format that no longer includes the production conference component but continues the forum's technical conferences and adds emphasis to the consultants conference.
How is the Conferences' format changing?
The 2014 Beltwide Cotton Conferences, set for Jan. 6-8 at the New Orleans Marriott Hotel, will include a half-day Cotton Consultants Conference and the day and a half Cotton Technical Conferences. The 2014 Consultants Conference, set for Monday, Jan. 6, will be more robust, providing technical information desired by consultants and others involved in key production/marketing-related decisions such as Extension specialists/agents, industry sales/support personnel and many producers. It also will feature new developments from industry, including discussions of new varieties and chemi-stries. There also will be special sessions where scientists from the various disciplines, ran-ging from agronomy to weed science, will interact with attendees to foster a lively exchange of ideas and experiences.
The Beltwide will continue to offer continuing education units or "CEUs" and serve as the venue for the following recognition events: The Cotton Foundation/Farm Press Publications' High Cotton Awards, Cotton Grower magazine's Cotton Achievement Award and Cotton Farming magazine's Consultant of the Year. The National Cotton Ginners Association will continue to conduct meetings in conjunction with the Beltwide Cotton Conferences. For the 2014 Beltwide, self-registration will be available 24 hours a day during the Conferences, beginning the evening of Jan. 5 while the same can be done at a staffed registration desk that will open on the morning of Jan. 6. More information about the 2014 Conferences, including its schedule and the host city, can be accessed at www.cotton.org/beltwide/.
Why the format change?
The Beltwide Cotton Conferences have been changed primarily because producer attendance has declined – from a high of 770 in 1997 to an average of just more than 200 for the last few years. During that time, more producers have obtained information from other places, including online resources and the growing number of regional educational meetings. In the absence of the Beltwide Cotton Production Conference and its related workshops, the NCC is working with other industry and government organizations to provide input and assistance as needed with existing regional production meetings. Additionally, the NCC will continue to develop special programs of local/regional interest when appropriate.
The NCC is maintaining its strong commitment for obtaining the necessary resources for leading-edge cotton research and technology development/transfer to producers and other industry members. The more compact Beltwide format will allow the NCC to realign its staff resources to better serve the ongoing and critical need for this technology transfer. The NCC will continue to plan and manage "the Beltwide" in its new format and continue publishing and distributing the Conferences Proceedings. Potential improvements to this forum will continue to be considered to ensure that it is meeting the cotton industry's needs. Accordingly, arrangements already have been made for the Marriott Rivercenter in San Antonio to host the 2015 Beltwide.
Mark Lange is the president and chief executive officer for the National Cotton Council of America. He and other NCC leaders contribute columns on this Cotton Farming page.

LANSING (WKZO) -- Just when you thought you were done with political ads on TV...a new advertising campaign produced by the Michigan Infrastructure and Transportation Association is about to hit the airwaves to build support for higher taxes to pay for road work. Something that isn't all that popular right now, especially with lawmakers.
They plan to spend 600-thousand dollars on the ad campaign this winter. A coalition of groups from agriculture, business and labor have collaborated on an internet website called "Just Fix The Roads-Dot Com".
Governor Rick Snyder made road improvements a focus of his State of the State address last week calling for an increase in the gas tax and higher vehicle registration costs to pay for upgrades and maintenance of the state's roads.

Sesimbra is ideally located on the south west coast of Portugal. Blue skies meet blue seas edged with golden sandy beaches and coves. It is an ideal holiday location with fine self catering villa accommodation from which to explore the countryside and the nearby city of Lisbon.
This tiny fishing village, in the shadow of the Moorish castle, offers a little local history, sandy beaches and plenty of scenic walks in the area. Unspoilt and idyllic, Sesimbra is considered Portugal's best kept secret, so don't spread the word!
For those who enjoy walking, a villa in Sesimbra makes a great base for some scenic explorations on foot. Climb up to the 17th century fort for some great sea views and the start of the coastal paths. Watch the local fishing boats return to the port below to auction their catch to local restaurants.
Your villa at Sesimbra is just a short distance from the local beach, so pack your towel, water and favourite novel for a relaxing day doing absolutely nothing.
Go dolphin watching at Setubal, a busy port and the birthplace of Manueline architecture.
Cabo Espichel - The interesting landscape of this mystical Cape is set above the Atlantic Ocean which dashes the cliffs hundreds of feet below. The convent was once an ancient pilgrimage site and has a simple domed chapel with beautiful tiles depicting fishing scenes.
The capital city of Portugal is Lisbon, and it is just 38 km from your villa in Sesimbra. World heritage monuments and many museums make Lisbon a great city of culture, with UNESCO World Heritage status. The Jeronimos Monastery and Belem Tower are two of the most well-known landmarks of the city. The seven hills of Lisbon give excellent viewpoints of the city. The medieval squares and architecture are decorated with mosaics and carved stonework.
Back in the 21st century, the Oceanarium is also an excellent attraction to visit in Lisbon.
Azeitao - At the other end of the scale is the sleepy village of Azeitao, which has many fine mansions including the decorative Quinta da Bacalhoa. The Fonseca Winery produces some of Portugal's best red table wine here and is a fun place to take a guided tour.
The weather in Sesimbra is perfect for sunshine holidays for most of the year. The driest and hottest months are from May to the end of September, when average temperatures are 29C (84F). Winter months have temperatures ranging from 8-15C (47-59F) and around 3 inches of rain.
The nearest airport to Sesimbra is Lisbon International airport. It is frequently served by cut-price airlines from all over Europe, as well as international flights from all over the world. Lisbon airport is 44km from your villa in Sesimbra.

Georgia students who were stranded in New York from the superstorm arrived home on Thursday. Teams from Jonesboro High School and Atlanta International School were in New York for a mock trial competition when Sandy swept through.Jonesboro High School students hoisted their fourth place trophy after stepping off the bus. They left by bus on Wednesday, and arrived 16 hours later to welcoming parents in Jonesboro.
"We're very happy to be home. We miss it. We were so homesick in New York. We miss our city," said one happy student.
They were scheduled to return Sunday, but their flight was among the thousands canceled when the storm came rolling ashore on Monday.
"It was pretty bad, but I think we were on a side that did not experience the flooding like Manhattan did. We did not experience the power outages. What we did experience was just a really, the really heavy wind and rain," said Anna Cox, a chaperone on the trip.Students saw flood waters, debris and downed signs, Cox said.Cox said that the students' parents were kept informed about the safety of their kids throughout the ordeal.Being on a bus didn't stop the students from enjoying Halloween. As they were on the voyage back to Atlanta, students munched on candy to keep their spirits up.
Many parents of the students met the bus when it arrived, and as the students stepped off the bus, the hugs began.
"We missed her a lot but we're so glad she's back home," said a parent.
The Jonesboro High School students offered their competition, Atlanta International School, a ride home. The school gladly accepted.
"We really appreciate Jonesboro for letting us go with them though, because if not, we would have been there who knows how much longer," said one Atlanta International School student.

NYC banking is best in the world
The latest industry report shows New York shares the title of "global financial capital of the world" with London.
So much for the death of Wall Street banks in the wake of the financial crisis. A recent report shows that London no longer is the world leader in finance, with New York gaining ground and sharing top honors with London despite a roller-coaster ride for the industry in late 2009.
Specifically, London lost 15 points while New York gained one point in the biannual survey conducted by Z/Yen Group on behalf of the City of London Corporation -- placing them in a tie for first place. Trailing behind were Hong Kong at #3, Singapore at #4 and Tokyo at #5.
The big slip for London in the annual ranking was due to highly unpopular tax increases on bonuses, which led to an exodus of top talent, and uncertainties about future banking regulation in the region. For instance, hedge fund manager Brevan Howard already has moved to Switzerland from London's financial district and other investment banks are considering a similar move.
London was one of four global financial centers to lose popularity at the end of 2009, according to Z/Yen. The survey, first offered in 2007, takes into account taxes, office rental costs, availability of talent and transportation, among other factors.
New York basically treaded water in the report, but the sign that the banking industry has not taken quite the hit that London has is good news for the Big Apple. New York lost 10,000 financial services jobs in the 12 months that followed Lehman Bros. collapse in September of 2008 and it really hurt the city's tax rolls. But now it appears that the banking industry has stabilized and is back in growth mode with the rest of the U.S. economy.
Investors who own bank stocks have already seen this growth. Bank of America (BAC) stock is up more than four-fold since the March 9, 2009, market low. Shares of Citigroup (C) have tripled, and shares of Goldman Sachs (GS) have more than doubled. Though the pace of gains have slowed in recent months, the entire financial industry appears to still be showing strength.
It's worth noting, however, that the specter of higher taxes and stricter regulations has not altogether passed over the U.S. banking industry in New York. Just today, Democratic Senator Chris Dodd, the chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, made his proposal for reforms in the industry. Regulations include giving shareholders more of a say on executive pay and board of director nominations. While it's unlikely that any regulations will be as draconian as the measures that undercut London's financial firms, New York may still see the impact of strict oversight in its future ranking among the world's financial elite.

I was at a friend's party recently and a bunch of couples were in attendance. Somehow the topic of marriage came up and one of the guys said that he and his wife contemplated having an open marriage. Of course, we all got nosy and asked loads of questions but they were pretty candid about what they wanted to try.
The husband basically said that he did not feel that monogamy was a realistic idea in terms of "forever faithful" so why not be practical about it? They agree to be honest when they meet someone they are attracted to. They also believe that they can date and pursue romantic interests as long as they inform the other.
I personally can't imagine doing this type of open marriage, but I won't knock it. I just think traditional marriage is not for everyone. If a couple can find a way to make this work for them, who am I to judge?
Would you ever consider having an open marriage? Do you think it is realistic?

Um, OPEN marriage…that brings to mind the question of what's even the point to get married if you're going to both still be dating others. Aren't the vows to Forsake all others, or did I just pull that out of my arse?

Good morning everyone!
You're right WD, you shouldn't judge those that decide to have an open marriage. How and ever, I agree with SlimNu, I thought one of the vows was to forsake all others and be bound for as long as one another shall live? If he thinks it's unrealistic, maybe he shouldn't be married. I think that's the problem, many people don't revere marriage as they should. Instead of taking a hard look and saying that I am not the type of person who can honor the vows I took for the rest of my life, people just keep sullying the institution of marriage and saying it's not realistic. It is realistic, just admit that you
can't won't do it.

good morning. I actually would consider an open marriage. heck, some folks are in open marriages whether they want to acknowledge it or not. as in all things, it is what you make it and I, for one, recognize that marriage is different things to different people. I'm sure there are many wives (and some husbands too) that would be more than happy to look the other way at indiscretions. they just don't care to be bothered with that aspect of marriage. they want the comfort and the security and the material benefits. they don't want the "hunching" to use an ex term.
November 13th, 2013
9:17 am
yes – you are operating on the assumption that folks took so-called traditional vows. vows have been changing. people are writing their vows. at the end of the day, folks on the outside of a marriage don't know how the folks on the inside of a marriage choose to operate their marriage. what marriage means to you may not be what marriage means to them. in their marriage the only opinions that count are theirs.
November 13th, 2013
9:20 am
I would never consider an open marriage. Why get married? Stay single, shacking up, what have you and date. Leave the proponents of marriage, a union between two people alone.
SlimNu ~ it is too cold for my liking. I wore a turtleneck yesterday (love turtlenecks) but overheated with all the running around I had to do at the office. I kept that in mind ironing my clothes last night and found a sweater vest I hadn't worn in a good 6-7 years to help me stay warm.
2C ~ I thought about you while getting dressed. The vest I have on, I purchased back in 1976. I'm going to send you a pic of it. Already gotten quite a few compliments on it this morning. It's old, but it's cute.
Good morning!

I actually know a few people in open marriages. It is not for me, but if it works for them, then who am I to tell them different?
November 13th, 2013
9:30 am
I have yet to hear of an "Open Marriage" situation where it is the woman's idea to entertainment such.
Look if a person is going to cheat there is nothing you can do to stop them. However that does not mean you should give them permission to do so all willy nilly by pretending to be okay with it.
I am saddened by the women that go along with such with repressed angst all in the vein of "holding on to their man". All I can do is SMH. I have not yet met a woman that is perfectly okay with knowing her husband is screwing other women. The one acquaintance I know that thought she would be okay with it had to quickly be honest with herself and her husband that she was not okay. Whether or not he went thru with it I don't know. Probably did behind her back but it is not in the fiber of a woman's makeup to accept such. Unless she just doesn't care that much from him and is doing her own thing.
Monique…Jada stop turning your head to your husband's trifling ways and call it what it is. Get some self-respect.
If your spouse steps out and you find out deal with it in whatever way is right for you. But stop pretending like you are okay with them casually getting it on with someone.
If you want to live the single life to freely bed who you please, STAY SINGLE.
November 13th, 2013
9:35 am
Leggs, I agree. Why don't folks leave marriage alone? Stop tainting it by trying to "change" what it truly is. Stay single. Date and bed as many as your heart desires and stop trying to change the structure of marriage.
November 13th, 2013
9:39 am
Yeah, yeah, yeah save all the crap about how people cheat behind their spouse's backs. We know that already. Folks have being doing it for ages. But leave marriage alone. Stop trying to bring in a life of unaccountability to a structure that is meant to consist of two individuals forsaking all others. Stay Single.

see that's the damn problem with society now….constatnly wanna change sh!t up…..sorry if I offend some, but GOD had one purpose in mind when he created the instituition of marriage! That's one man, for one woman! And as some have stated, to forsake all others….If you can't follow that simple concept, then one, don't get married, and two, whatever you have that doesn't line up with that, don't call it marriage! Taking something and modifying it creates something different…
November 13th, 2013
9:43 am
Raqi ~ and, if you're doing the non-traditional vows, why go the traditional route and secure a marriage license, hire a clergyman/woman to marry you, etc. Why not marry yourself? Because it's not recognized in a court of law, benefits won't be given in death, sickness, you do not have a legal footing to protest or consent to anything for your mate. If you really cannot forsake all others, again, stay single!
November 13th, 2013
9:46 am
@disco people may write their own vows but doesn't the chaplain/preacher/etc still have them repeat the "for sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer…" spiel? That's what I'm referring to. People can do what they want and call it "marriage". But it does not a marriage make. You can put lipstick on a pig but it won't turn it into a lady. It's a pig with lipstick on. I have no problem with a pig with lipstick on and if someone says it works for them then that's great . But for someone to try to pass it off as a lady (a female human)…. I'm not going to subscribe to that. It is what it is. An open marriage is not a marriage if the preacher asked you to repeat after him and part of those vows were to forsake all others.
But like I said if people say an "open marriage" works for them then that's great they were fortunate to come to an agreement that works for them.

Raqita – I agree. I have yet to hear of a situation where it was the woman's idea to have an open marriage. It is truly sad when I see anyone "going along" with a situation just to hang on.

Yeah, if you want to have an open situation, cool do you. Just don't call it marriage, because it's not.

And I don't buy into this "If that's what works for you" statement being thrown around for everything these days. Some things are a matter of what should and should not be and needs to be stated as such.
What's next? Telling a pedophile "if that's what works for you then have it at"? Is that the direction we are as a society is leaning towards? Heck what's to stop it from getting that out of hand if we are turning our heads on every matter because someone decides they want the freedom to "do what works for them".
Heck I would like to walk into Costco today, get what I need and walk out without paying. That would work for me. I would get to keep the $200-$300 that I spend there every month. But as we know just because is what could work for ALL of us that is not how it is. LOL Our economy would soon cease to thrive if it was.
That is what is happening to our societal moral fiber. It is starting to unravel and we the people are to blame because we don't want hurt somebody's feelings.

Raqi, this is modern day Babylon….."acceptance" is the phrase of the day;
November 13th, 2013

Good Morning!
Create you own comfort, security and benefits, but do not go into a marriage where you agreed to be with me thru thick and thin.
The problem with folks is they are very selfish, like Button stated before marriage is about adding to your partner happiness etc.
MsAtl…The couples you know who are in an open marriage, has the woman stated she is still happy with the situation?
Lucky Leggs what is going on with the Mega? I notice numbers in the sixties last night…I usually don't play the Mega but it was at 117 million…What 3 digit number are we playing this week?
Hello SlimNu…

My hubby has a cousin that turned down our Thanksgiving invite because WE refuse to acknowledge the woman that SHE sleeps with as her WIFE. She is not her wife and we will not accept such in our house. She is welcomed to come and she can bring her friend but we will not have our kids exposed to a lifestyle that we do not agree with.
She can do whatever the heck she wants but not in my house so she has chosen to stay away.
That's fine. If that's what works for her then stay away.
November 13th, 2013
10:31 am
Toucan, you are so right.
If that's what works for you = Acceptance.
Don't judge me = Acceptance.
November 13th, 2013
10:35 am
looka Raqi….sounding like Joshua…."as for me and my house…."
November 13th, 2013
10:36 am
If my hubby ever stepped to me with some nonsense about an open marriage I would simply say "Okay. But I get to go first." LOL I have known him long enough to know that he would not accept that and an open marriage is not in his character.
But I'm just saying. LOL
November 13th, 2013
10:37 am
Toucan, "…we will serve the Lord."
November 13th, 2013
10:38 am
Durty- The wife says she is, but that may just be what she says. I have been told that as long as it doesn't affect home life and the kids, but I can't see how it cannot affect those things.
Raqi- When I say if it works for them, who am I to tell them different, that does not mean that I am accepting of that lifestyle. It simply means that I may think it is wrong, but I do not have the right to tell them to do something different. I can voice my opinion but at the end of the day, their marriage is not my business.
November 13th, 2013
10:41 am
If my hubby ever stepped to me with some nonsense about an open marriage I would simply say …….there's this dude, whom I told I would get with in the next lifetime, and you come at me crazy if you want to, that next lifetime begins now…..
November 13th, 2013
10:42 am
hey raqi – I actually know a couple who had an open dating relationship and moved into an open marriage. they are happy.
2C – I don't generally chime in on God but not everyone's life and/or marriage is based on God. I will say that "God's team" usually consists of some of the most judgmental folks around. those who cannot accept things that aren't as they believe they should be. ijs.
yes – not everyone marries in a church or before a preacher. again, ijs.
November 13th, 2013
10:45 am
Durty ~ I thought I told you last week that Mega Millions has a new slip. Numbers now go up to 78 I think. It's now even harder.
November 13th, 2013
10:49 am
MsAtl….That is interesting, but it would be difficult not to think about what your mate is doing with another person. How much money he spending on her, how much time he is spending with her etc…
November 13th, 2013
10:50 am
raqi – the difference being pedophiles are dealing with kids. marriage (usually – lol) is dealing with two grown folks.
atl – exactly. who are we to tell other folks about their situations? especially situations they are perfectly okay with. I can't stand folks who don't whoop their bad azz kids but I can accept that they aren't my kids and their discipline methods really aren't my concern.
November 13th, 2013
10:50 am
not everyone marries in a church or before a preacher. again, ijs.
And here's where folks are misguided. It ain't the "church" or the "preacher" that deems a marriage being being considered "done before God." It's the vows you take, that were instituted by God. So, it's God that's gonna hold you to them…wherever it got it said.
November 13th, 2013
10:50 am
MsAtl, I agree. We cannot tell people how to run their lives. But what I am saying is there so much turning your heads and not acknowledging what is going on where will it eventually lead?
Like I stated up thread. What about the pedophile? If molesting kids is what works for him (i.e. gives him pleasure, because that is really what it is all about, Pleasure) is it okay for him to do so in his house? No!
But what's to stop it from getting that far? Nobody wants to hurt feeling these days. Sometimes hurting someone's feeling cannot be avoided. Or else it should not be avoided for the sake of what should and should not be.
Marriage is what it is. Folks trying to bring in other things or restructure it is trying to change marriage. As Toucan stated, that would make it no longer marriage. Call it something else but don't call it marriage.
November 13th, 2013
10:51 am
not everyone's life and/or marriage is based on God.
therein lies the issue!!!! If it ain't based on God, then who/what is it based on? Man didn't create marriage, but man wants the authority to dictate, and moderate?
November 13th, 2013
10:51 am
Lucky Leggs…O.K. not going to play the Mega heck that is too many numbers…O.K. so what pick three are playing…I am going to play 5 days out so I do not miss the next one…
November 13th, 2013
10:51 am
2Can, Yep. It would start Rhet Now. LOL
November 13th, 2013
10:54 am
Exactly. God instituted marriage and the laws of it. If you want to do something else call it something else. Just don't call it marriage.
I have to go shopping. I will catch up with yall later. Maybe. LOL
November 13th, 2013
10:55 am
Dern, I jacked that up…lol I had some other stuff but erased. I just don't feel like going there on this world being based on "folks can do as they please", so I erased some stuff. And yeah, folks can do as they please but that's the very reason this world is going to hell in a handbasket. Every individual carries a responsibility to God….you are your brother's keeper.
The devil ain't in a red suit with a pitchfork. The less we speak the truth, the more free reign the devil takes. Thanks be to God though, I'm under the shadow of his wings.
November 13th, 2013
10:56 am
Disco, you are right. Kids. But if that's what works for him…Right?
November 13th, 2013
10:56 am
I'm done. I wasn't intended on getting all "righteous" on y'all. Carry on
Later gators!!
November 13th, 2013
10:56 am
Celisea and 2C – going back to my original post that that's not the vows that everyone opts to take. right/wrong/whatever – some folks go out on a limb with their vows and their marriage. not everyone lives a faith based life. I'm not the one who makes it that way, I'm just the one who is pointing out that that way does happen. I have one friend who is a self proclaimed non-believer. she's married. been married more than 20 years. she and her hubs are happy enough as far as I can tell. I like them individually and I like them as a couple. now, I've never questioned what vows they took. maybe one day I will. I know they got married at the courthouse.
November 13th, 2013
10:57 am
As far as I remember hearing her say, the "open marriage" Monique talked about was her idea, see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHvmTJUmvyk
There are women that want to do it for them, though they are – admittedly – few and far between.
That said, I agree with the "why fo" comments thus far
November 13th, 2013
10:58 am
disco – Marriage was instituted by God. You can tweak, change, omit…but if you entered into marriage, you're held to what he established….what he set up.
November 13th, 2013
10:59 am
go 'head on, Celie…..preach, gal!!!!! cause you're absolutely right!!!
hell, that's reason we're in this sh!t now, two folks wanted to do what "they" wanted to do, as opposed to what was outlined for them….
November 13th, 2013
10:59 am
Celisea, I don't care what version of marriage vows I have heard I have not yet heard the version that has left out "forsaking all others". In church, In the courthouse, On the beach or where ever. It may be out there but I have not heard it yet.
Now I am gone for real.
November 13th, 2013
11:01 am
Raqi and 2Can….exactly!!!
I was in lurk mode today, but y'all pulled a sista out. I'm gone too….I got work to do.

Our Graduates
Given the rigorous yet supportive nature of our program, Honors helps students prepare to be successful in a wide variety of post-collegiate careers. Many of our students apply to graduate school and it is part of the mission of our program to prepare students for that experience and support them as fully as possible with their applications. It is not unusual for graduates of our program to return and tell us how the rigors of the Honors seminars equipped them to excel in their post-undergraduate educations.
Westminster College's Honors program does a particularly effective job of preparing students for graduate school due to the following features:
We also offer Honors students $250 grants from the Student Honors Council Fund to help offset expenses associated with travel to graduate schools to investigate programs and interview with admissions committees. Click here for a grant application.
As a result of these advantages and opportunities, Westminster College Honors students have been admitted to the following graduate programs, among others, in recent years:
Because of its interdisciplinary nature, Honors at Westminster accommodates students from many different disciplines. The programs at the institutions mentioned above include law schools, medical schools, MBA programs, and M.A. and Ph.D. programs in a variety of disciplines.
On the other hand, many Honors graduates enter the workforce directly after Westminster in a wide range of interesting positions. For example, students in recent classes have secured jobs with the National Park Service as an educational park ranger, the Los Alamos National Lab as a researcher, Goldman Sachs as an analyst, as a teacher of English in Egypt, as a lab technician at the University of Utah Medical School, and as a scientist at Biogen, to name just a few. Numerous students have pursued service or fellowship opportunities, like working with children through AmeriCorps or teaching English in Turkey as a Fulbright Scholar.

Lisbon, 2-6 October 2006
The theme of this year's conference is "Paths & Crossroads: Moving People, Changing Places". People on the move grow increasingly diverse, and so do the routes, processes and places involved. For this reason, the 11th International Metropolis Conference intends to provide a forum to foster the exchange of knowledge and encourage dialogue among specialists and decision-makers from places that send and receive migrants.
Steven Vertovec will be convening the workshop 'Shaping Research-Policy Strategies: National Experiences' on the migration research-policy nexus. Hein de Haas and Oliver Bakewell from IMI will hold a workshop on 'Migration Reshaping the Landscape of Development: Bridging the Theory-Practice Gap'.

Daemon : a novel

What other readers are saying about this title:
Emily Lloyd said:
A library patron recommended "Daemon" to me and I owe him a thanks: it was a blast to read, and I likely wouldn't have found it otherwise. I think I enjoyed this book the way some enjoyed Ernest Cline's "Ready Player One" (which was full of insurmountable holes for me--though I see from other reviews on GoodReads that some had the same feeling about "Daemon"). Similarly to "Ready Player One", "Daemon" starts with the death of a programming and game-writing titan who's devised a little surprise for humankind. But instead of a contest, Matthew Sobol's left behind a daemon--a program that, once set in motion, needs no human interference to keep running. Sobol's daemon is designed to expose and exploit all the weaknesses of society as we know it--perhaps to "prove" that democracy is outmoded in a time when a free individual has access to enough technology and computer power to wreak huge havoc. It was a fun, fast-paced read with lots of things I usually don't go for (at least not at the movies): explosions, automated vehicles, etc--and it was also smart and full of psychological insights that worked, at least, for me. While it might not be quite as brainy as "Snow Crash" or "Neuromancer", my enjoyment of it felt similar to my enjoyment of those. And it was much, much brainier and more well-thought-out than "Ready Player One".

White House environmental policy adviser Sutley to resign
Wednesday - 12/4/2013, 9:00am EST
"Nancy has played a central role in overseeing many of our biggest environmental accomplishments," President Barack Obama said in a statement.
Nancy Sutley, chair of the White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), will step down in February 2014.
The President thanked Sutley for her counsel and service.
"Under her leadership, federal agencies are meeting the goals I set for them at the beginning of the administration by using less energy, reducing pollution, and saving taxpayer dollars," he said. "Her efforts have made it clear that a healthy environment and a strong economy aren't mutually exclusive — they can go hand in hand."
Before her appointment to CEQ chair, Sutley served as deputy mayor for energy and environment for the city of Los Angeles.
During the Clinton administration, she worked for the Environmental Protection Agency as a senior policy adviser to the regional administrator in San Francisco and special assistant to the administrator in Washington, D.C.
The statement did not say what Sutley's plans are for the future, nor did it say if a replacement has been named.

Is Facebook stock a bad investment?
The social networking behemoth is preparing to launch the largest Internet IPO in history, but some investors are starting to doubt the hype.
With Facebook's momentum seemingly slowing, some investors are poking holes in the assumption that Facebook stock is a sure bet. Also worrisome: Facebook is considering delaying its IPO to June, reportedly so that it can better focus on a recent round of expensive acquisitions.
Is owning a piece of Facebook not as lucrative as it once seemed?
Beware these red flags
Facebook, with a "mind-boggling 900 million users," is absolutely huge, says Matthew Ingram at GigaOm. But the fall in net income is troubling; a company as large as Facebook should have "money flowing to the bottom line, and lots of it."
Facebook has doubled its marketing and sales costs to extract more money from users, but it currently makes "a remarkably tiny amount from each one: About $5 a year." If it can't squeeze more out of its "existing user base," Facebook could begin to resemble a "red giant" star that "starts to consume its own resources and eventually implodes." Buyer, beware.
Don't worry. Facebook will figure it out
With its sprawling user base, Facebook will surely be able to develop an online advertising model "that makes a boatload of money," says Nicholas Carlson at Business Insider. The company "just hasn't figured out how to make that happen, yet."
Google (GOOG) is attractive to advertisers because "consumers go on to Google and search for products," and Google "shows them ads from the company that makes that product." Facebook is different in that users share information about products to other users and entice their interest -- in essence, Facebook "creates" demand rather than just "satisfying" it. And that's a valuable, as-yet-untapped asset.
Focusing on Facebook's numbers misses the big picture
"Few investors are buying Facebook for first-quarter results," Lou Kerner, founder of the Social Internet Fund, tells the Los Angeles Times. "Facebook is trying to dominate a massive new sector — social media — and is willing to forgo short-term revenue growth and profitability." If Facebook succeeds in becoming the biggest player in that industry, it will be hard for a competitor to knock it off its pedestal.

- Pleasant surprise!Yul2goDined on 9/25/2014A bit disconcerting at first, you can still recognize the traditional fare of the vietnamese restaurant but always with a little addiitional twist. We went there twice during our stay in SF, very satisfied both times. The ribs are a must, as are their variations on the dumplings, and their shrimps too! Service is attentive, a bit on the fast side but they will slow down if asked. Oh, and they also have a few wines on tap, we had very decent pinot and carignan. Noise level is fairly high but remains acceptable, and contributes to the lively ambience of the place.Special Features:
- Great food and ambianceFoodySBDined on 9/23/2014Food is excellent and the ambiance chic. We did feel a bit rushed by the server which in SF restaurants is usually not the case.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Soooo deliciousSmileVIPDined on 9/20/2014Love this place! Everything we try on the menu is super yummy. Spring rolls, daikon cakes, pho, and lemongrass pork are my favs on the brunch menu!Special Features:
- Iconic Little Sister - Slanted DoorGreathighwayDined on 9/19/2014If you can't get into Slanted Door, why hassle and instead go here. The food is outstanding and the service matches the food. It is hard to get a reservation, but there is counter seating and a big communal table, so give it a chance. You won't regret it. Also the lunch menu is different and just as good, so sneak away and catch a superb lunch as well. We go at least once a month, would go more, but want to savior the time in between. Outstanding.......Special Features:
- The bomb!DisappointingDined on 9/17/2014Food was great, service was great, but I wish they would put in something in the decor to absorb the overwhelming noise, the place is SUPER noisy. Also, I think on yelp, it shows as 2 $$ but it was definitely more $$$.Special Features:
- Very DisappointingfitndineVIPDined on 9/10/2014We had a disappointing meal. We felt it was overpriced Asian food. We had asked for recommendations (crepe) and it was not good. The food was greasy and heavy. The crepe had mostly onions and sprouts with two shrimps and two pieces of pork. The shell was an egg crepe and really greasy. We informed the waiter and they remade the crepes on the house but the second one had more ingredients but still very very greasy. The chicken dishes were good.
- Great food but.....SunflowerDined on 9/6/2014I've been there with friends on a Saturday. Setting is nice. The tables are a little cramped, service is friendly, the food is excellent. I would come back maybe during the week , with the hope of , it beeing a little bit more quiet. The noise level is just to much. It's hard to have a normal conversation, due to the noise.Special Features:

- OTD AOKmaudeVIPDined on 8/14/2014can't get enough of the classic slanted door grapefruit salad. and the spring rolls are perfect: fresh, crisp, full of flavor, with a killer peanut sauce that's not too thick. nice list of unusual asian teas. highly recommended.Special Features:
- Great Vietnamese with energyGatorJohnVIPDined on 8/13/2014Great food, excellent service, including what turned out to be great guidance and advice on what to order, to suit our tastes. We like to share dishes, so the choices of shrimp and lamb made for a sweet and sour effect. Will definitely go back.Special Features:
- Wonderful food, very noisyOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 8/12/2014The food was delicious and plentiful. The service was friendly and excellent. However the noise level made it difficult to talk and hear. Not a good place for a business luncheon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- A very disappointing morning...OpenTable Diner Since 2003VIPDined on 8/9/2014We go to OTD 1-2/week. We got to OTD at 9:10 (they open at 9 am) and were told: "We are running late. Come back at 9:30." Then a waiter thankfully recognizes as regulars and says, "Come sit down" and indeed the menu was ready. We almost left based on the 1st comment and the host with the false info never apologized. We ordered our food and were 10 minutes into our meal when another patron came in and threw a fit because he had reserved the table for 2 we were sitting at, but there were three other tables for 2 available. So even though his dining partner had not arrived, we were forced to move to another table. Finally, our steamed pork bun was cold. Our entire meal, no one stopped by to ask how we were doing or how our food was.
- SffoodieDined on 8/8/2014I made reservations at 11 AM. We waited at door till the 2 people folding napkins ( after turning around and giving us both looks of what are you doing here"? no smiles or acknowledgement. We were the first n only ones in restaurant. We ordered ,others came in and their appetizer arrived, Ours shortly after, then their soups split and another dish and we had not gotten either of our main dishes. We noticed others around us getting food,so my friend called over the waitress to question where our food was and she said " it takes longer to grill the chicken" n walks away. WE DIDn't order anything with chicken ? She forgot our order, hurriedly told the chef and both side n main came .No return from waitress NO "To insure Proper service" either.
- inventive, modern Vietnamese fooddraliVIPDined on 8/6/2014This remains an all time favorite with combinations of foods and spices not found elsewhere in San Francisco. Small plates of meat and fish delivered sequentially as they are prepared - each distinctly differently seasoned. Clay pot chicken always perfect, and any of the shrimp dishes exquisite. Finish the meal with one of their aromatic teas- this restaurant, although always busy and noisy, is a real treat.Special Features:
- We love this place!SmileVIPDined on 8/4/2014Every time we dine at OTD, we always leave so happy. The food (spring rolls, beef pho, chicken pho) and service is always superb! Dominick always takes such good care of us every time. We like sitting at the chef's table to look at all the food get prepared. They all look so delicious! Even the chefs are friendly at this place! We forgot our leftovers/doggie bag and as we turned around to walk back to the restaurant, our server was running out give it to us. It's nice that they always go that extra mile to make us feel special! :)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Best Vietnamese I have ever hadOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/2/2014Really good modern vietnamese kitchen. Interesting and varied menu, experienced cooks (get a seat watching the person making the rice wraps, she was good). It was great to find a vietnamese place that is clean and modern with traditional flavours. Bring lots of people with you so you can try all the dishes!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- kumoDined on 8/1/2014This is a very eclectic restaurant with interresting dinner options. The service is excellent. The staff is very knowledgable of the menu and keeps the water glasses filled and the dishes removed and replaced with courteous efficency. The only downsides are the parking and noise level. Probably better to sit at the bar and watch the cooks.Special Features:

- OTD Always YummyLessSaltPleezeDined on 7/25/2014Anders (chef) is the best!! He was in tonight, so the food was amazing as usual. We had the scallops, spring rolls, and crab in glass noodles. The only issue I have is that because it's so great and popular, the noise level gets too high for me. I love Charles Phan and OTD! Thanks, Anders, for another amazing meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and wonderful serviceDiningsceneDined on 7/24/2014We decided to eat tapas-style rather than in courses. The dishes are great for sharing. The selection is adundant without being overwhelming and many of the dishes mix-n-match well together. Delicious food. Will definitely be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a great brunch!SmileVIPDined on 7/19/2014My husband and I look forward to dining at OTD every weekend! The food and service is always amazing. We go for Saturday brunch to have spring rolls and pho. Their dinner menu is also amazing. The slow roasted pork spare ribs are a must! And the pork chop and the clay pot chicken are super delicious!Special Features:
- Always deliversLaraDined on 7/17/2014OTD always delivers amazing food! We took some out of town guests here and they loved the uniqueness of the dishes and tastes. My only complaint is the noise level, which made it hard to talk at a table of 7.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- So delicious!SmileVIPDined on 7/12/2014Can't get enough of OTD! My husband and I love the food and the friendly service. Spring rolls, chicken pho and beef pho are so delicious! Other items on their menu are great too but we are addicted and can't seem to switch. Our favorite server Dominik takes such good care of us! Such friendly and knowledgeable staff at OTD.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 7/7/2014Food was fantastic. Have already recommended it to others. Noise level is very high. Not great for conversation.Special Features:
- a favejjjjjjDined on 7/7/2014Staff can be inconsistent and the challenge of getting in sometimes is real (this week they said their phones had been out of order for a week -- sort of odd), but the short, intense menu is intensely good and we keep going back on every visit to SF.
- I'll go through this door again!NerissaDined on 7/2/2014I took a friend here for lunch and while the acoustics are unpleasant and it's hard to hear, the food and service were wonderful. I definitely would recommend this restaurant, but this is a restaurant for a younger demographic due to the noise level. It's really too bad, because I am older and my recommendation would always include that unfortunate design error, when really, the focus should be on the marvelous food and excellent staff.Special Features:
- We love it at OTD!SmileVIPDined on 6/28/2014We just love going there for brunch every week! We look forward to our spring rolls and pho! I like the chicken pho and my husband likes the beef pho. We love the food, service and the ambiance. Such a great place!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistently very goodOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 6/6/2014I like this place a lot. The service and food are consistently good.

They offered other restaurants affiliated with the slanted door, and the menu looked great at Out the Door! We were not disappointed for our 16th anniverary dinner. We had the prawns, asparagus, brown rice and a chocolate dessert. All were taste treats, and my husband thought it was a special meal. The service was excellent. Would recommend highly.Special Features:

I really don't understand the difference between pain and suffering from cancer verses the pain and suffering from arthritis or just simply a broken down tiered body from being a working stiff. Everybody is entitled to there own opinion. I honestly see a conflict of interest. I don't know how a person who does not have cancer will get the same protection under Sheriff Crabtree as a person prescribed medical marijuana for say chronic pain from tore up knees from being a rig slinger in the woods.
I also did not like how it was made fun of how these medical gardens are needing security. If government had not made marijuana what it is today, It would not be a topic of jokes at Kiwanis meetings. Like a gentlemen had stated in the paper a while back, "The problems from marijuana stem from it's illegality."

Ben Graham bargains: A 10-stock value portfolio
These low-risk picks meet the investment guru's criteria.
Known as the Father of Value Investing, Benjamin Graham inspired Mario Gabelli, John Neff, John Templeton and, most famously, Warren Buffett. All were Graham disciples who went on to their own stock market greatness.
Born in England in 1894, Graham built his reputation -- and fortune -- by using an extremely conservative, low-risk approach to investing. To Graham, an investment wasn't something that could be turned into quick, easy profits. Anything that offers "easy" rewards also comes with substantial risk -- and Graham abhorred risk.
In terms of specifics, Graham's approach limited risk in a number of ways, and my Graham-based model lays out several of those methods.
For example, one key criterion is that a company's current ratio -- that is, the ratio of its current assets to its current liabilities -- is at least two, showing that the firm is in good financial shape.
The approach also targets financially sound companies by requiring that long-term debt not exceed net current assets.
Two other criteria the Graham method uses to find low-risk plays: the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio and the price-to-book (P/B) ratio.
Graham wanted P/E ratios to be no greater than 15 (and, as another signal of his conservative style, he looked not only at trailing 12-month earnings but also at three-year average earnings, to ensure that one-year anomalies didn't skew the P/E ratio).
For the P/B ratio, he used a more unusual standard: He believed that the P/E ratio multiplied by the P/B ratio should be no greater than 22.
My Graham-inspired strategy tends to find bargains across a variety of areas of the market. Here are the current holdings of the 10-stock Graham portfolio:
Forest Laboratories (FRX)
Curtiss-Wright (CW)
Helmerich & Payne (HP)
NTT DoCoMo (DCM)
United Stationers (USTR)
GameStop (GME)
General Dynamics (GD)
USANA Health Sciences (USNA)
DeVry (DV)
Walgreen (WAG)
Since I started tracking my Guru Strategies more than nine years ago, the performance of my Graham-based model has been rather remarkable. Even though the strategy Graham outlined is now more than 60 years old, it just keeps on working.
Through July 17, the 10-stock Graham-based portfolio was up 179.2% since its July 2003 inception, making it my second-best performer. That's a 12.1% annualized return in a period in which the S&P 500 has gained just 3.5% per year.
The model's strict balance sheet criteria helped it avoid big losers in 2008, as the portfolio lost less than half of what the broader market lost, and it rebounded big in 2009 and 2010, gaining 31.4% in '09 and 22.6% in '10.
In 2011, it had its worst year, however, falling 19.0% while the broader market was flat. It's rebounded nicely in 2012, though, having risen 10.7% vs. 8.4% for the S&P, indicating that last year was an aberration.
It's also worth noting that the 20-stock Graham-based portfolio I track has been even better. In fact, it's the best performer of any of my 10- or 20-stock portfolios, having returned 259.7% since its July 2003 inception -- that's 15.3% per year.
The Graham portfolios' long-term results are a great demonstration of how successful stock investing doesn't need to be incredibly complex or cutting-edge.
You don't need fancy theories or gimmicks; you just need to focus on good companies whose stocks are selling at good values. Do that, and you should produce some strong results of your own.

text: contentHeavy Metal Detoxification Introduction General Background Development of Heavy Metal Toxicity Common Heavy Metal Toxicants and Associated Health Risks Risk Factors for Toxic Metal Exposure Signs, Symptoms, and Diagnosis Conventional Treatment Novel and Emerging Therapies Lifestyle Management for Reducing Metal Toxicity Risk Integrative Interventions Life Extension Suggestions Heavy metals with adverse health effects in human metabolism (including lead, cadmium, and mercury) present obvious concerns due to their persistence in the environment and documented potential for serious health consequences (ATSDR 2000; ATSDR 2004; ATSDR 2007a; ATSDR 2007b; ATSDR 2008a; ATSDR 2008b; ATSDR 2011). Acute heavy metal intoxications may damage central nervous function, the cardiovascular and gastrointestinal (GI) systems, lungs, kidneys, liver, endocrine glands, and bones (Jang 2011; Adal 2013). Chronic heavy metal exposure has been implicated in several degenerative diseases of these same systems and may increase the risk of some cancers (Galanis 2009; Wu 2012). Heavy metals are ubiquitous in the environment (Pohl 2011). Humans risk overexposure from environmental concentrations that occur naturally (eg, arsenic-rich mineral deposits) or human activities (eg, lead or mercury release as a result of industrial pollution) (Orloff 2009; Hutton 1986). It is not possible to completely avoid exposure to toxic metals (Singh 2011). Even people who are not occupationally exposed carry certain metals in their body as a result of exposure from other sources, such as food, beverages, or air (Washam 2011; Satarug 2010). It is, however, possible to reduce metal toxicity risk through lifestyle choices that diminish the probability of harmful heavy metal uptake, such as dietary measures that may promote the safe metabolism or excretion of ingested heavy metals (Peraza 1998). This protocol will discuss the general features of heavy metal toxicity, with emphasis on the three metals that present the highest risk for environmental exposure and are most frequently implicated in acute toxicities: lead, mercury, and cadmium, as well as the toxic metalloid arsenic. We will also present strategies for minimizing the risk of toxicity.

Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster Electric GuitarIn the newest evolutionary step for the American Deluxe Stratocaster electric guitar, it maintains its traditional look and feel while introducing upgrades that include three N3 Noiseless single-coil pickups that still produce their revered sparkle and snap and—with noiseless design—no annoying hum. The S-1 switching system adds additional pickup combinations beyond those provided by a standard five-way switch including new combinations of series and parallel wiring for a dazzling array of tonal choice. The compound radius fretboard that modern guitarists demand ensures strings won't fret out even with extreme bending. Other improvements include the high-mass tremolo block that increases sustain; locking tuning keys; and a molded case with glass-reinforced latches and TSA locks. N3 Noiseless pickups N3 Noiseless pickups deliver the best of yesterday and today, because they deliver landmark vintage Fender tone and response without the hum that can plague single-coil pickups. Using an improved stacked coil-coil design, N3 Noiseless pickups are specially tailored for each Stratocaster and Telecaster pickup position. The insulated metal core of each pickup position type differs in thickness and composition for enhanced tone, and Fender has fine-tuned the sized, shape, and wire gauge of the coils to balance the magnetic responsiveness essential to great tone. N3 pickups represent a welcome return to the warmth and clarity of alnico magnets. An Alnico 5 magnet is used in the bridge position, Alnico 2 in the middle position, and Alnico 3 for the neck position. Check the drop-down menu to the right to select colors and/or other options.

Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovolani crowned champions of 'Dancing with the Stars: All Stars'by jmaloni
After 10 weeks of competitive dancing, Kelly Monaco and Valentin Chmerkovskiy, Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovolani, and Shawn Johnson and Derek Hough proved they deserved to be in the "Dancing with the Stars: All Stars" finals. But in the end, only one couple was crowned champion.
In the two-hour season finale on Tuesday, Melissa and Tony took the bling-laden mirror ball trophy. Shawn and Derek finished second.
Earlier in the show, all of this season's eliminated couples returned to the ballroom, performing memorable routines from the season. And in the final element of the competition, the three finalists performed an "instant dance" routine. They were given their music and dance style just minutes before they performed live to complete the judges' scores.
