Human obesity protein, leptin
Mutations in the obese gene (OB) or in the gene encoding the OB receptor(OB-R) result in obesity, infertility and diabetes in a variety of mouse phenotypes. The demonstration that OB protein (also known as leptin) can normalize body weight in ob/ob mice has generated enormous interest. Most human obesity does not appear to result from a mutant form of leptin: rather, serum leptin concentrations are increased and there is an apparent inability to transport it to the central nervous system (CNS). Injection of leptin into the CNS of overfed rodents resistant to peripheral administration was found to induce biological activity. Consequently, for the leptin to act as a weight-lowering hormone in human obesity, it appears that appropriate concentrations must be present in the CNS. This places a premium on understanding the structure of the hormone in order to design more potent and selective agonists. Here we report the crystal structure at 2.4A resolution of a human mutant OB protein (leptin-E100) that has comparable biological activity to wild type but which crystallizes more readily. The structure reveals a four-helix bundle similar to that of the long-chain helical cytokine family.

From MEDLINE®/PubMed®, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
[LEP_HUMAN] Defects in LEP may be a cause of obesity (OBESITY) [MIM:601665]. It is a condition characterized by an increase of body weight beyond the limitation of skeletal and physical requirements, as the result of excessive accumulation of body fat.[1]
[LEP_HUMAN] May function as part of a signaling pathway that acts to regulate the size of the body fat depot. An increase in the level of LEP may act directly or indirectly on the CNS to inhibit food intake and/or regulate energy expenditure as part of a homeostatic mechanism to maintain constancy of the adipose mass.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) - Sterling Carter had 19 points, including five 3-pointers, to lead Purdue to an 82-64 win against rival Indiana on Saturday.
Purdue (15-10, 5-7 Big Ten) used a 19-1 run that began in the first half's final 36 seconds and carried through the first five minutes of the second half as the springboard to victory.
Carter scored Purdue's first 10 second-half points, including a pair of 3-pointers that helped extend a 38-33 halftime advantage to 52-34 with 15 minutes remaining.
Purdue was well on its way to taking a 103-88 lead in the all-time series.
The victory snapped the Boilermakers' four-game losing streak against the Hoosiers who had won those four by an average of 23.3 points.
It was the third consecutive Big Ten loss for Indiana (14-11, 4-8) since upsetting 10th-ranked Michigan on Feb. 2 in Bloomington.

Hybrid Laser Tag Birthday Invitations
So Alton FINALLY decided on having a laser tag birthday party. I say finally, because he changed his mind about where he wanted to have his birthday party about 5 times. Including the day before the actual party. Sorry dude, the invites went out already.
I have SO been enjoying my Silhouette Cameo Cutter and Starter Kit Bundle. The project possibilities are just endless. I made his birthday party invites with only a tiny bit of printer ink, some thread and of course shapes cut out with my Cameo.
The invites came out fantastically if I do say so myself. His friends were extremely impressed with the threaded "laser" on the front of the invite. I just used a needle and thread after I glued the Paper pieces to the front of the card. Then I glued the back over it and that hid the thread knots.
(By the way, Wendy recommended this glue: Beacon 3-In-1 Advanced Craft Glue, 4-Ounce and it is hands down, the best crafting glue I have ever used. I use it on ALL of my hybrid projects now.)
I got the gun shape here:
It was so easy to load into the Silhouette Software, and then used Wendy's instructions for Printing and Cutting digital scrapbooking layout elements with your Cameo. The rest of the shapes came from the Silhouette Online store.
I also used my Silhouette to fancy up his birthday cupcakes!
I would definitely say that he (And all of his friends) enjoyed them!

Delivered Before the Literary and Historical
Ladies and Gentlemen:
By request of the Literary and Historical Society of the city of East St. Louis, I will give you a synoptical description of the natural scenery of the landscape whereon this flourishing city now stands, as it appeared in A. D. 1799, and note some of the wonderful changes that have transpired therein since that date, etc., especially in the channels of the rivers Mississippi and Abbe, the latter most commonly called Cahokia Creek, which runs through your city, and which formerly did not run into the Mississippi, where it now does, but formed its junction south of Piggott's addition to Illinoistown with the slough which then run(sic) at the head of an island, described in the "Western Annals" as being opposte(sic) South St. Louis, and with said slough run past the villlage(sic) of Cahokia, below which the only ferry from Illinois to St. Louis could then be kept.
By reference to the sevety-second(sic) page of Mr. Butler's history of Kentucky, it will be seen that Cahokia creek was knee-deep in front of Colonel Clark's camp at Cahokia when he treated with the Indians in September 1778.
But so great has been the change there that neither slough, creek, nor island can now be properly recognized at that place. As some persons may have been misinformed, and may be incredulous of the facts I am stating, and to enable those who have not known this place over sixty years to comprehend the subject in all its bearings, I will refer you to some ancient documents; and although historians have not mentioned some of the facts of which I am speaking, because unknown to them, or having transpired since their writing, yet I will read to you from the 122d page of the "Western Annals" the description derived from the late Auguste Chouteau. Then speaking of the first settlement of St. Louis, he said:
Although that description is correct as far as it goes, it does not attempt (to) describe the landscape at this place; nor when and how Duncan's Island and Bloody Island were formed, and why so named; nor why the only ferry from Illinois to St. Louis had to be from Cahokia, below the island, opposite south St. Louis, and landed on the Missouri shore, near the site of the United States arsenal; nor when, and by whom, the Wiggins ferry at this point was first established. But when you are correctly informed, you will perceive that a ferry at this point, at that date, would have been worse than useless, because it could not have been reached by the inhabitants of Illinois until a road was made, and the river L'Abbe was bridged above its junction with the slough, which then ran at the head of said island, and which is now known as Cahokia commons, south of East St. Louis. And all the space above the slough, between the rivers Misssissippi(sic) and I'Abbe including the ferry division of East St. Louis, and what is now known as Bloody Island, and the dyke and ponds of water in that vicinity was then bottom land, covered with majestic forest timber, interperued(?) with peavine, rushes and winter grass, on which stock (ate) fat all the seasons of the year. The distance between the two rivers then was about half a mile in width. This was also used as the common camping ground for all the friendly Illinois Indians that traded at St. Louis, and sometimes by hostile Indians. Therefore, to make the first bridge, and built(sic) the first road, was not only costly and laborious, but an extremely dangerous undertaking; for, although Colonel Clark, in 1778, had taken all the territory northwest of the river Ohio from the British lion, yet that country's allice(sic), the Indians, like tigers, thirsting for blood, still claimed and occoupied, and, like lords of the forest, roamed through this vast region of wild country.
Just look at the surroundings of the few white people at that time in this country, for, excepting a few French villages in this bottom, the whole country, northwest of the Ohio river, was the abode of ferocious beasts and savage men. Those first heros of the west were without roads, bridges, newspapers or mail carriers. Many of them had assisted in the erection and defense of Fort Jefferson in 1780-1781; and had come with their captain and formed the first purely American settlement at the Great Run. But I will now have to read to you their own statement, as printed on the fifteenth page of the first volume of American State Papers on Public Lands; and also from the fifty-ninth and sixtieth pages of Governor Reynolds' History of his own times:
"When the citizen soldiers abandoned Fort Jefferson, Capt. Piggott, with many of his brave companions arrived at Kaskaskia, and remained there some time. Thes (sic) energetic immigrants, no(sic) early as the year 178 1, were the first considerable acquisition of American population Illinois received. Many of the most worthy and respectable families of Illinois can trace back their lineage to this illustrious noble ancestry. About the year 1783, Capt. Piggot established a fort not far from the bluffs, in the American bottom, west of the present town of Columbia, in Monroe country, which was called Piggott's fort, or the fort of the Grand Ruisseau, alias Great Run. This was the largest fortification erected by the Americans in Illinois in that day, and was well defended with cannon and small arms. Capt. Piggott and forty-five inhabitants at this fort (called in English Big Run) petitioned for grant of lands, etc." (See the petition above).
"I presume it was on this petition that the act of Congress was passed, granting to every one on the public land in Illinois, four hundred acres to each man enrolled in the militia service of that year.
"Governor St. Clair, well knowing the character of Captain Piggott, in the army of the Revolution, appointed him the presiding judge of the court of St. Clair county." (The then county seat was at Cahokia.)
"I will now speak of the establishment of the forst(sic) road-bridge and ferry viz: When Governor St. Clair in 1790, first organized civil government in Illinois, he held council with the people; and in view of the prospective importance of this place, he advised his newly-made judge (Piggott) to establish himself at this place. To look at the surroundings of the country, it had very much the appearance of a forlorn hope, but the governor knew his man. The inhabitants of both sides of the Mississippi felt the great need of such a ferry, and cooperated heartily in it. At that time there was no other man willing to take the risk. In the summer time, men could not work here. In the winters of 1792-93, while the river I'Abbe was frozen, Judge Piggott erected two log cabins at this point; and continued every winter to carry on his improvements until 1795. After General Wayne had conquered and treated with the hostile Indians, he then removed the family from his fort at the Great Run, to this point, among the friendly Indians.
"As soon as the Judge had completed his road and bridge, and established his ferry from the Illinois to the Missouri shore, he petitioned (15th day of August,1797) for, an(sic) obtained the exclusive right to collect ferriage in St. Louis (at that time a Spanish province.) As a relic I give the petition in full: "St. Clair County, Territory of the United States, Northwest of the River Ohio.
"To Mr. Zenon Trudeau Commander at St. Louis: "Sir: Though unacquainted, through a certain confidence of your love of justice and equity, I venture to lay before you the following petition, which, from reasons following, I am confident you will find just to allow:
"The petition is, that your honor will grant me the whole benefit of this ferry, to and from the town of St. Louis. I do not desire to infringe upon the ferry privilege below the town, which has been long established. But that no person in the town may be allowed to set people across the river for pay (at this place), so long as you shall allow that the benefits of this ferry hath made compensation for my private expenses, in opening a new road and making it good from this ferry to Cahokia town, and making and maintaining a bridge over the river Abbe, of 150 feet in length. Your consideration and answer to this is the request of your humble petitioner; and as an acknowledgment of the favor petitioned for, if granted, I will be under the same regulations with my ferry respecting crossing passengers or property from your shore as your ferry-men are below the town; and should your people choose to cross the river in their own crafts, my landing and road shall be free to them.
"And should you wish me to procure you anything that comes to market from the country on this side, I shall always be ready to serve you.
"And should you have need of timber or anything that is the product of my land, it may be had at the lowest rates.
"I am, sir, with due respect, your humble servant,
"August 15, 1797.
Although the Spanish commandant at St. Louis was anxious to have the ferry regularly carried on by Piggott because of its great use to St. Louis, yet he devised a plan by which it was done without having it said he granted ferry right to a foreigner, viz, he granted Piggott the ferry landing below Market street, on which Piggott then erected a small ferry-house, which was occupied mostly, however, by one of his ferry hands, who, at any time could cross foot passengers in a canoe; but when horses, etc., were crossed, the platform had to be used, which required three of his men to manage.
Neither skiffs, scows, nor yawls, were then used; but the well-made Indian canoe and pirogue were the water-craft used at the ferry at that early day.
The ferry tract of land which then lay between the creek and river, and belonged to Piggott, has been regularly conveyed by several deeds to the Wiggins ferry company; and allow me to say that the ferry company has ever been composed of honorable, energetic and liberal men, who, at great expense, have successfully contended against many cross-currents, and greatly improved the place for the public convenience as well as their own profit.
From the commencement of this ferry it was carried on under the immediate supervision of Piggott until the 20th of February, 1799, when he died, leaving his wife the executrix of his will.
She first rented the ferry to Dr. Wallis for the year 1801-2; then to Adams for the year 1803-4. This adams(sic) was then the husband of the distinguished Sarah Adams of Duncan's Island notoriety.
About this time the widow of Piggott married Jacob Collard, and removed from Illinois to St. Louis, Missouri. Before leaving she leased the ferry to John Campbell for ten years, from the 5th day of May, 1805. This Campbell proved treacherous, and procured a license for a ferry in his own name during the time of the lease; and hence for a short time, it was called "Campbell's Ferry." But after a law-suit, Campbell and confederates were beaten, and the ferry re-established to Piggott's heirs -- one of whom, assisted by men named Solomon, Blundy and Porter, operated the ferry until part of the heirs sold out to McKnight & Brady.
The other heirs of Piggott conveyed to Samuel Wiggins their share of the ferry. He very soon succeeded in buying out his competitors, and thus obtained the whole ferry. He superintended it in person.
You must bear in mind that I am only giving a synoptical description of the subject matter under consideration, and therefore it would not only be beyond my strength of body but also beyond the proposed plan, if I should make a detailed statement of everything that transpired, and the names of several tenants who occupied said ferry under Campbell and McKnight and Brady -- such as Lockhart, Day, Vandostal and others.
But you wish to be informed when and how the half-mile width of land, in 1799, lay between the rivers I'Abbe and Mississippi -- which was covered with majestic timber, and used as the camping ground of all the Illinois Indians trading at St. Louis, Missouri - became transformed into what has been called Bloody Island, with its slough, dike, etc., from which it is now so rapidly being reclaimed. You will recollect the description given by Auguste Chouteau; and I will add thereto, that the main channel of the Mississippi, in 1800, ran nearly straight from the chain of rocks -- supposed to be about nine miles above St. Louis -- toward and close to the old western boundary of the Cabanne Island; and from thence striking the rocky shore of Missouri above St. Louis, near where the sturgeon market now is; thence running deepest against said rocky shore to Market street, below which a sand-bar formed, which grew into what is now called Duncan's Island, causing the current to deflect to Cahokia Island, (before mentioned in the "Western Annals," and carried off a great part thereof Meanwhile, accretions accumulated on the west side of the Cabanne island. This caused the current to carry off a great deal of the Missouri shore, and formed what was called the Sawyer bend above what is called Bissell's Point. In the fall of 1798, a sand-bar was formed in the Mississippi similar to the one now opposite this place, and near the same locality. It increased rapidly, and soon became an island covered with willow and cottonwood. In time this island received the prefix "Bloody" -- from the many bloody duels it was the theatre of Among the prominent duelists who made the island the place whereon to settle (according to the code duello) their differences, were the following parties: Charles Lucas fell by Colonel Benton, Joshua Barton fell by Rector, Jaor Biddle and Pettes fell together, Waddell fell by Mitchell, and others.
In process of time the main channel for steamboat navigation run(sic) east of Bloody Island; and the current thus deflected against the Illinois shore, it was worn away rapidly. I believe the whole Mississippi river, would, are now, have been running east of this place had it not been prevented by diking. But before dikes proved a success, the Mississippi had washed away all the land heretofore described as the Indian camping-ground lying between the rivers, and filled up the old miry bed of the creek at the southwest comer of Illinoistown -- about the northwest end of Main and Market streets, and a mile below it.
Various and expensive efforts were made to force the Mississippi back to its old channel west of this island. After several dikes or rock piers had been made along the Illinois shore, so far as to deflect the current toward the Missouri shore, and also Dike avenue having stopped the current toward the Missouri shore, and also Dike avenue having stopped the current from running on the east of this place, the slough which had run there has been rapidly filling up.
That you may judge how great the change of the natural scenery has been since 1795, examine the old plat of Illinoistown, and you will see at the northwest end of Main and Market streets, marked the place where the bridge and road, made in 1796, crossed the river I'Abbe, which is now the bed of the slough. To disabuse the public mind, I will inform you that, however many have been the several tenants that occupied the ferry tract of land, yet none of then had a fee title therein, excepting James Piggott, his heirs and their assigns.
On the 4th day of January 1815, five-sevenths of Piggott's heirs conveyed their interest in the ferry to McKnight & Brady, who had, under special contract, been running it on trial one year previous. And on the 4th of March 1820, the other two-sevenths of Piggott's heirs conveyed their interest in the land and ferty to Samuel Wiggins, who under special contract with them had been running a ferry in competition with McKnight & Brady during 18 10; and the 19th of May 1821, McKnight and Brady conveyed their right of ferry to Samuel Wiggins. Since that time, Wiggins, and those claiming under him, have held the whole concern.
You will understand from what I have endeavored to explain to you what mighty obstacles have been overcome; the slough at the end of this island is already filled up; it is again attached to the mainland, and the other part of it is diked in several places, and rapidly filling up. Properly speaking, this place is no longer Bloody Island, but the law-abiding ferry division of the city of East St. Louis.
Surrounded with the best prospects of increasing wealth and prosperity. I ask you to consider the following facts: vis., the two greatest rivers in the United States form their junction just above us, giving us here a fine navigable channel of about sixty feet in depth by __ in width, and connecting us, by means of ferryboats, with the metropolis of the West, St. Louis. Consider how vast and fertile are the regions of country, east, west and north drained by those rivers; how rich and various are the productions thereof, and one of the best outlets for their transportation is this place; and see how rapidly far-seeing capitalists are constructing their various railroad routes both at West and East St. Louis, from which they diverge to and converge from all parts of the country. And wisely have the streets in this part of the country been laid out, with the future view of allowing railroad tracks to be put down, for the purpose of moving goods in a more expeditious manner to and from the various railroad depots. And this city is the portal through which all travel from the East must enter to reach the great emporium on the southwest bank of the Mississippi.
Having mentioned a few of the facts in regard to the past and present condition of this place, let us take a look at its future prospects. East St. Louis enjoys the same facilities for navigation as the greater city on the other side of the river does. And why not(sic) the acorn became an oak in time? The material is here, if properly handled. The coal-fields surrounding this city are hourly pouring in their treasures. The iron mountains of Missouri are at a convenient distance to us; and how naturally will the coal and iron meet at this place. Is not East St. Louis the real terminus of all the railroads east of the Mississippi?
Hitherto the lack of elevators prevented the shipping of grain at this point, and the "sluggard said there was a lion in the way." But enterprising farmers, merchants and capitalists obtained, on the 6th(?) of March 1867(?), a liberal charter from the Illinois Legislature, and are astonishing the natives by the erection of an elevator and warehouse 140 by 300 feet, with a railroad track in the center, so that cars loaded with grain will run into the warehouse to be unloaded; and there is 300 feet of river front so arranged that boats loaded with grain can safely land alongside and be unloaded with great dispatch. Everything is arranged for speed and safety.
The result will be to add to the value of all the grain productions of Illinois sent to this place for shipment to St. Louis. The unneccesary(sic) ferriage will be avoided, which caused loss to the grain and damage to the cooperage. To show how much saving can be effected, I call attention to an article in the St. Louis Democrat -- 6th day of May last -- in which it is stated that the cost of transfer of grain and flour, for the past year, exceeds $220,000, being a tax on flour of twelve cents per barrel and three and a half cents per bushel on wheat and corn. The greater part of this enormous freightage can be saved by storing at the warehouse of the elevator. It will be ready for the reception of the growing crop of this year. The farmers of Illinois should bear this fact in mind. Egbert Dodge, Esq., is the indefatigable and energetic superintendent, who can be found at his office adjoining the elevator at all seasonable hours.
Pardon this incidental digression. Perhaps I should have spoken of the mortal combat, as given by the Indians who killed Jacob Grot(s or z), grandfather of the late Captain Carr; of the former appearance of the landscape on the east side of the river L'Abbe; of the surveys and resurveys of the Cahokia common-fields; of the laying out of the old Illinoistown, in 1817, etc., and other exciting incidents prior to that time, but I will stop here for the present. At some future time I may elaborate more fully.
While speaking of the early history of East St. Louis, we perhaps cannot do better than to refer to some of the brave pioneers who were conspicuous in that early day. Among the most prominent who took an active part in advancing the interests of this once savage wild, was Captain James Piggott, of whom Ex-Govemor Reynolds makes the following mention in his "Life and Times." It conveys a graphic picture of who Captain Piggot was, and the ordeal the early settlers passed through, in this severe contest with savage and wild beasts:
In 1781, the Government of Virginia, the great statesman, Thomas Jefferson, being Governor, knew that the Spanish Crown pretended to have some claim on the country east of the Mississippi, below the mouth of the Ohio; and to counteract this claim, ordered George Rogers Clark to erect a fort on the east side of the Mississippi, on the first eligible point below the mouth of the Ohio.
General Clark, with his accustomed foresight and extraordinary energy, levied a considerable number of citizen soldiers, and proceeded from Kaskaskia to the high land, known at this day as Mayfield's creek, five miles below the mouth of the Ohio. Here, on the east side of the Mississippi, he erected a fort, and called it Jefferson, in honor of the then Governor of Virginia. It was neglected to obtain the consent of the Indians for the erection of the fort, as the Governor of Virginia had requested. This neglect proved to be a great calamity. Clark encouraged immigration to the fort, and promised the settlers lands. Captain Piggott, and many others followed his standard.
The fort being established, General Clark was called away to the frontiers of Kentucky, and left the fort for its protection in the hands of Captain James Piggott, and the soldiers and citizens under him.
Captain Piggott was a native of Connecticut, and was engaged in the privateering service in the Revolutionary War. He was in danger of assassination by the enemy in his native State, and emigrated to Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. He was appointed Captain of a company in the Revolution by the Legislature of his adopted State, and served under Generals St. Clair and Washington. He was in the battles of Brandywine, Saratoga, and marched to Canada. By severe marches, and hard service, his health was impaired so that he was forced to resign his captaincy, and with his family, he left his residence in Westmoreland county, and came West with General Clark.
Several families settled in the vicinity of Fort Jefferson, and some in it; but all attempted to cultivate the soil to some extent for a living.
The Chickasaw and Choctaw Indians became angry for the encroachments of the whites, and in August 178 1, commenced an attack on the settlements around the fort. The whole number of warriors must have been ten or twelve hundred, headed by the celebrated Scotchman Calbert, whose posterity figured as half-breed. These tribes commenced hostilities on the settlements around Fort Jefferson. The Indians came first in small parties, which saved many of the inhabitants. If they had reached the settlement in a body, the whole white population outside of the fort would have been destroyed.
As soon as the preparation for the attack of the Indians on the fort was certainly known, a trusty messenger was dispatched to the falls of the Ohio, as it wascalled(sic) at that day and for years afterward, for more provisions and ammunition. If support did not arrive in time, the small settlements and garrison would be destroyed, and it was extremely uncertain if succor would reach the fort in time.
The settlement and fort were in the greatest distress; almost starving, no ammunition, and such great distance from the settlements at Kaskaskia and the Falls.
The first parties of Indians killed many of the inhabitants before they could be moved to the fort, and there was great danger and distress in marching them into the fort. Also the sickness prevailed to such extent, that more than half were down sick at the time. The famine was so distressing, that it was said that they had to eat the pumpkins as soon as the blossoms fell of the vines. The Indian marauding and murdering private persons and families, lasted about two weeks before the main army of Indian warriors reached the fort. The soldiers aided and received in the fort, all the white population that could be moved.
The whole family of Mr. Music, except himself, was killed, and inhumanly butchered by the enemy. Many other persons were also killed.
In the skirmishes a white man was taken prisoner, who was compelled, to save his life, to report true state of the garrison. This information added fury to the already heated passions of the savages.
After the arrival of the warriors, with Calbert at their head, they besieged the fort for six days and nights. During this time no one can describe the misery and distress the garrison was doomed to suffer. The water had almost given out. The river was falling fast, and the water in the wells sunk with the river. Scarecely(sic) any provisions remained, and the sickness raged so in the fort that many could not be stiffed from their beds. The wife of Captain Piggott, and some others died in the fort, and were buried inside of the walls, while the Indians besieged the outside. If no relief came, the garrison would inevitably fall into the hands of the Indians and be murdered.
It was argued by the Indians with the white prisoner, that if he told the truth, they would spare his life. He told them truly, that more than half in the fort were sick, -- that each man had not more than three rounds of ammunition, and that scarcely any provisions were in the garrison. On receiving this information, the whole Indian army retired about two miles to hold a council. They sent back Calbert and three Chiefs with a flag of truce to the fort.
When the whites discovered the white flag, they sent out Captain Piggott, Mr. Owens, and one other man, to meet the Indian delegation. This was done for fear the enemy would know the desperate condition of the fort. The parley was conducted under the range of the guns of the garrison.
Calbert informed them that they were sent to demand a surrender of the fort at discretion; that they knew the defenseless condition of the fort, and to surrender it might save much bloodshed. He further said; that they had sent a great force of warriors up the river to intercept the succor for which the whites had sent a messenger. This the prisoner had told them. Calbert promised he would do his best to save the lives of the prisoners, all if they would surrender, except a few, whom the Indians had determined to kill. He said, the Indians are pressing for the spoils, and would not wait long. He gave the garrison one hour for a decision.
On receiving this information, the garrison had an awful and gloomy scene presented to them. One person exclaimed, "Great God direct us what to do in this awful crisis!"
After mature deliberation, Piggott and the other delegates were instructed to say, that nothing would be said as to the information received from the prisoner. If we deny his statements you may kill him -- we cannot confide in your promises to protect us; but we will promise, if the Indians will leave the country, the garrison will abandon the fort and country as soon as possible. Calbert agreed to submit this proposition in council to the warriors. But on retiring, Mr. Music, whose family was murdered, and another man, shot at Calbert, and a ball wounded him. This outrage was greatly condemned by the garrison, and the two transgressors were taken into custody. The wound of Calbert was dressed, and he guarded safely to the Indians.
The warriors remained long in council, and by a kind of providential act the long wished-for succors did arrive in safety from the "Falls."
The Indians had struck the river too high up, and thereby the boat with the supplies escaped. The provisions and men were hurried into the fort, and preparations were made to resist a night attack by the warriors.
Every preparation that could be made for the defense of the fort was accomplished. The sick and small children were placed out of the way of the combatants, and all women and children of any size were instructed in the art of defense. The warriors, shortly after dark, thought they could steal on the fort and capture it; but when they were frustrated, they with hideous yells and loud savage demonstrations, assaulted the garrison and attempted to storm. it. The cannon had been placed in proper position to rake the walls, and when the warriors mounted the ramparts the cannon swept them off in heaps. The enmy(sic) kept up a stream of fire from their rifles on the garrison, which did not much execution. In this manner the battle raged for hours; but at least(sic) the enemy were forced to recoil, and withdrew from the deadly cannon of the fort. Calbert and other chiefs again urged the warriors to the charge; but the same result to retire was forced on them. Men and women at that day were soldiers by instinct. It seemed they could not be otherwise.
The greatest danger was for fear the fort would be set on fire. A large, dauntless Indian, painted for the occasion, by some means got on top of one of the block houses and was applying fire to the roof A white soldier, of equal courage, went out of the block house and shot the Indian as he was blowing the fire to the building. The Indian fell dead on the outside of the fort, and was packed off by his comrades.
After a long and arduous battle, the Indians withdrew from the fort. They were satisfied the relief had arrived in the garrison, and they could not storm it. They packed off all the dead and wounded. Many were killed and wounded of the Indians, as much blood was discovered in the morning around the fort. Several of the whites were also wounded, but none mortally. This was one of the most desperate assaults made by the Indians in the East, on a garrison so weak and distressed and defenseless.
The whites were rejoiced at their success, and made preparations to abandon the premises with all convenient speed.
The citizen soldiers of Fort Jefferson all abandoned the fort; and some wonded(sic) their way to Kaskaskia, and others to the Falls. Captain Piggott, with many of his brave companions, arrived at Kaskaskia and remained there some years.
This flood of brave and energetic immigrants, so early as the year 1781, was the first considerable acquisition of American population Illinois received. Many of the most worthy and respectable families of Illinois can trace their lineage to this illustrious and noble ancestry, and can say with pride and honor, that their forefathers fought in the Revolution to conquer the Valley of the Mississippi.
About the year 1783, Captain Piggott established a fort not far from the bluff in the American Bottom, west of the present town of Columbia in Monroe county, which was called Piggott's Fort, or the fort of the Grand Ruisseau. This was the largest fortification erected by the Americans in Illinois, and at that day was well defended with cannon and small arms. In 1790 sometime Captain Piggott and forty-five other inhabitants at this fort, called the Big Run in English, signed a petition to Governor St. Clair, praying for grants of land to the settlers. It is stated in this petition that there were seventeen families in the fort.
I presume it was on this petition that the act of Congress was passed granted to every settler on the public land in Illinois, four hundred acres, and a militia donation of a hundred acres to each man enrolled in the militia service of that year.
Governor St. Clair knew the character of Captain Piggott in the Army of the Revolution, and appointed him the Presiding Judge of the Court of St. Clair county.
Captain Piggott, in the year 1795, established the first ferry across the Mississippi, opposite St. Louis, Missouri, known now as Wiggin's ferry; and Governor Trudeau, of Louisiana, gave him license for a ferry and to land on the west bank of the river in St. Louis, with the privilege to collect the ferriage. He died at the ferry, opposite St. Louis, in the year 1799, after having spent an active and eventful life in the Revolution, and in the conquest and early settlement of the West.

When you press red record button on the right hand side of the "Voice Compare" box, there are gray boxes that will flash yellow as you speak into the microphone. This emulates your local volume.
The voice recording automatically ends when you are done speaking, so you do not need to click the red "record" button again to stop the recording. After you are done recording, drag "your voice line" to adjust it so it aligns with the narrator's voice graph. Now, you can listen to each voice individually or at the same time to compare pronunciation and inflection.

Napa and Sonoma Feature
A Great Southern Napa Drive
Traffic permitting, you could easily traverse the entire Napa Valley in about 45 minutes, passing scores of wineries along Highway 29. Many visitors do this, but a better strategy would be to tour just the southern Napa Valley at a more leisurely pace.
Have coffee at the Model Bakery in Napa's Oxbow Public Market, then drive north on Highway 29 to the Trancas Street/Redwood Road exit. At the top of the exit ramp, turn west (left) onto Trancas Street. After you cross over Highway 29, the name of the road changes to Redwood. Follow Redwood Road west, bearing left at the fork that appears when the road narrows from four lanes to two. After this point, two signs on Redwood Road will direct you to The Hess Collection. Allow an hour or so to browse the excellent modern art collection before or after tasting the wines.
After your visit, backtrack on Redwood Road about 1¼ miles to Mt. Veeder Road and turn left. After a little more than 8 miles, turn right (east) onto Dry Creek Road. After ½ mile the road becomes signed as the Oakville Grade. From here, twist your way back downhill to Highway 29 and turn north. (If you're prone to car sickness, take Redwood Road all the way back to Highway 29 and turn north.) On Highway 29 a bit north of the Oakville Grade you'll see the driveway to Robert Mondavi on your left. The introductory tour here is good for wine newbies. If sporty and casual suits you better, sit and sip at nearby PlumpJack instead.
After visiting Mondavi or PlumpJack, repair to the Oakville Grocery and put together a picnic you can enjoy right out back. For a serious, no-frills wine-tasting experience, head to Stag's Leap Wine Cellars to taste the descendants of the 1973 Cabernet Sauvignon that scored so well in the famous Paris tasting of 1976. Or head over to Trefethen, whose first-place Chardonnay at a 1979 tasting in the City of Light also helped secure the Napa Valley's reputation.
Your trip down memory lane complete, head to Yountville, where bakeries and boutiques tempt body and bank account. Stroll Washington Street and enjoy the scenery and the parade of well-heeled visitors. If you find yourself yearning for more tasting, slip into Ma(i)sonry Napa Valley to sample wines from small-lot producers. As evening approaches, remain in Yountville for dinner or return to Napa.

Day 8 Red Cloud to near Franklin, NE
Today was very cool, it was cold last night and this morning. I felt surprisingly good this morning and got on the road bright and early. After that, things took a turn for the worse. When I was trotting across the bridge out of town to avoid semis coming behind me, my pack rolled and was left with my saddle and packs on Shug's belly. I had trucks lined up waiting for me to get out of the way but Shug handled it fine and once the mess was cleaned up we were on our way again. My saddle bags are in pretty rough condition now and some minor repairs will be needed to my saddle when the trip is done, but I have had a lot worse things happen before. The rest of the day was great. I covered a lot of country and should make it to Alma tomorrow as planned. I met an old man near Franklin that asked where I was stopping and when I told him I wasn't sure, he offered to let me stay at a site on the south bank of the Republican River that he owned. There are no great places to tie the animals, so I hobbled both of them. Corey Cline, the son of the man I talked to, arrived shortly after I unsaddled and chatted and gave me some newspaper to start a campfire and told me to make myself at home. Much to my surprise he came back again a short time later and brought me a package of steaks to cook for dinner. I cooked them over the fire and then ate them with a knife and leather-man pliers. I had a can of potato soup as a side dish. This will be a hard meal to top it was great. I've never had an Omaha Steak but Franklin Steaks cooked over a open fire are probably about as good. Corey is a bonded livestock dealer, so if anyone has cattle to sell anywhere in the U.S. give him a call at 308-991-4633. I have spent most the night watching the river or sitting by the fire, this night is just about perfect.

Bad knee doesn't stop Adriana, 89, taking the plunge for charity
6:00am Monday 19th May 2014 in News
PENSIONER Adriana Young took a moment to enjoy the view before she descended 100ft down Oxford's John Radcliffe Hospital.
The 89-year-old was raising cash for the hospital's heart unit yesterday with friend Jenny Atkinson, 80.
The Italian-born pensioner, who has lived in Woodstock for nearly 60 years, has now raised more than £750 for the unit after signing up to do the charity abseil in memory of her husband Roy, who died during an operation in 1975. When asked if she had been scared before the challenge, she said: "Not a bit. If I could have done it again I would have done it."
She said her bad knee caused her to slip at the top, adding: "Everybody down below thought I was going to fall."
Abseils take place at the JR every year to raise cash for various hospital causes.
The hospital's next abseil events areon June 15 and September 21. For information visit hospitalcharity.co.uk/abseils, email email@example.com, or call 01865 743444.

The main characters here need to make lifestyle choices, which some readers may find frustrating though the burlesque elements are sexy and fun. The heroine is trying to make a one-sided relationship work and her partner is just trying to get as much as he can from whomever he can. The story contains F/F and menage interaction.
Mallory and Alex are in an intimate relationship but the emotion is all on Mallory's side. Desiring some spice in their arrangement, Alex tries to entice her into having a three-way. On her birthday, he takes her to The Blue Angel, a burlesque club, where she's pulled onstage by Betty. Once she loosens up, Mallory finds that she enjoys it. The couple has a wonderful evening and both are put in the mood. While Mallory enjoys their intimacy, Alex fantasizes about Mallory and another woman sharing their bed! Betty is harboring fantasies of her own involving Mallory and her career. After losing her job, Mallory becomes a dancer at The Blue Angel and finds that she truly enjoys it. When she finally dumps Alex, the drama really starts! (APHRODISIA, May, 244 pp., $14.00)

Stopping by via Connie and thought I'd leave a comment. Hope you don't mind.
I hope all is well with your husband. I am a dialysis nurse and know about kidney function, transplants, and kidney issues all too well.
I will be keeping both of you in my thoughts and prayers!

|Microchip Scanners
These days anyone can own a microchip scanner. They have become smaller and cheaper. All scanners operate on a low-frequency radio wave (RFID). It's simply a matter of positioning the scanner close to the animal's fur and pressing a button. The scanner interrogates the chip to capture the microchip number and then displays that number on the LED screen. It's simple. petDetect offer several scanner models to suit various applications, including bespoke scanners for zoos and fisheries.
Pocket microchip scanners are very popular with dog and cat breeders, veterinary centres, airports, seaports, rescue organizations, police forces, councils, highway authorities and those who travel abroad with their pets.
Our very cost-effective Halo Scanner is ideal for breeders who have similar looking puppies and want to know 'who's who', or people travelling with their pet and it has a 15 digit microchip. Reads the FDX-B 15 digit microchip only - but that is the most widely used chip in the UK and Europe.
Our mid-range Standard (PetScan) scanner reads the FDX-A chip which is the very old type of chip plus the FDX-B chip which is the current 15 digit microchip used here in the UK and in Europe.
The Universal (Detect-a-Chip) scanner is so clever that it can read ALL known microchips for animal identification, regardless of where in the world the chip originates. We recommend this for vets and zoos especially, but anywhere that older chips may be found will find the Universal invaluable.
For scanning livestock, we would recommend the PetScan, as this one is the most rugged and also has a wrist band that can also be attached to a belt for multi usage.
All scanners (and all other equipment) have a Warranty of one year against manufacturing faults. If you are having problems with your scanner and it is out of Warranty, we still recommend you contact us. We have a great deal of experience with these scanners and may be able to diagnose and fix the problem. We always aim to save you from replacing a scanner that still has life in it! Before contacting us though, please do check the battery - it must be a 9-volt alkaline battery NOT zinc.
Postage and packing for scanners is £7.95 (UK destinations) plus 20% VAT.
We are a very customer-oriented company so do call us and we will assist whenever we can.

2009 Renteria Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
Out of Stock
Composition: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Vineyard: 50% Rowe Vineyard, Napa Valley
50% Stice Lane Vineyard, St. Helena, Napa Valley
Harvest Date: October 9 and 10, 2009
Brix at Harvest: 25.6 Brix
Finished pH: 3.46
Finished TA: 6.86 g/L
Alcohol: 14.5%
Cooperage: Aged 20 months in 41% New French Oak
Winemaker: Karen Culler
Production: 500 cases
Release Date: Summer 2013
Suggested Retail: $32 per Bottle
VINEYARD: The Rowe Vineyard is planted on western hillside slopes, close to the town of Napa on Dry Creek Road. This hillside vineyard produces fruit with lots of tannins that are big and bold. The Stice Lane Vineyard, located in St. Helena is flat on the valley floor and made up of clay loam.
VINTAGE: In 2009 Mother Nature managed to have it all work in unison to give vines and grapes the best scenario possible. Compare the nearly thirty days of intense frost from spring 2008 to the fewer than five frost incidents in 2009, the start to the vintage was much less eventful for growers not worrying about the threat of frost—or the lack of water to combat it if it came. Late spring rains delayed irrigation needs and the warm spell in June helped curtail excessive canopy development. The 2009 growing season counted perhaps only four or five days of 100°f plus temperatures (typically 14 days), again helping to reduce demand for water when the resource was relatively scarce. Though rainfall was little more than two-thirds of normal for the third year in a row, the timing of the precipitation was on the vine's side. Couple that with the lack of frost and the mild, relatively cool growing season; vintage 2009 shaped up to be another beautiful vintage in the Napa Valley.
TASTING NOTES: These two vineyards produce wines that are very different from each other, but work well as complementary wines in the blend. This wine is ripe and juicy with good acid. The Rowe Vineyard produces a much firmer wine with big, bold tannins. The character of the Rowe Vineyard shines through with concentrated richness and an extracted structure, while the fruit from Stice Lane adds plush mouthfeel, and the French barrels add a hint of toasted oak. Drink now and enjoy! Aging 8-10 years.

What is the 1 Question you'd ask or Idea you'd share with the TED Team ?
Imagine you have complete access to some of the best speakers in the world, TED Fellows, the TED Team and a bunch of the most talented TEDx organizers on the planet. Now imagine all of this happening in Doha, Qatar on 16th April, 2012.
I'm fortunate enough to have the opportunity to attend the TEDxSummit in Doha and now I ask you to share with me a question or an idea which needs to be heard.
I'll try my very best to ask/share it with them :)

Apr 3 2012: As humans we are aware we will die one day. All religious/ spiritual text indicate the founders of all religion did manage to crack the code of life and death. Today in 2012, why do we:
1. As humans not pay any attention to the purpose of life, continue to be driven by greed anger &foolishness ? Do we really we believe that we are so stupid?
2. What is the fundamental purpose of religion/spirituality/atheism? would be incorrect to say that the fundamental purpose of existence of animate or inanimate life or belief or religion is, more human joy than happiness [considering joy to be more sustainable as it creates beauty, and greater good as well vis-a-vi happiness which can[and is] still be transient?
3. If, our focus is supreme human joy,which can also be termed as maximizing human potential & human security, how do get leaders political and religious to look ahead and create a new future, focusing efforts on finding similarities, rather than getting involved with discussing the differences..... http://enterprise185.biz/wordpress/ .

Pregnant women in Japan can now buy a 3D model of their unborn baby! A 3D printer creates a 9 centimetre resin model of the foetus, incased in a transparent block in the shape of the pregnant mother's body. It's created by using an MRI scan taken around 8-9mths into the pregnancy.
Tomohiro Kinoshita of FASOTEC, the company offering the service said, "As it is only once in a lifetime that you are pregnant with that child, we received requests for these kind of models from pregnant women who... do not want to forget the feelings and experience of that time"
The 3D model comes with the somewhat hefty price-tag of 100,000 yen ($1171 Australian) and is named 'Shape of an Angel'. It also comes with a miniature version that could be a nice adornment to a mobile phone, Tomohiro added. Many young women in Japan like to add decorations to their phone strap. For those who would like a less pricey version, the company will offer a 3D model of the face of the foetus for 50,000 yen in December.
Read more HERE.
What do you think? Is this something you would have been interested in buying?
I was happy just to see my little ones through the regular scans you have throughout pregnancy. Although icouldnt wait for my boysto come and meet me i dont think i would like this i prefer the real thing!
How many people could afford that! I am happy with my scan pics and knowing you can get 4d scan pics to keep of your bub is enough for me, That's a bit over the top for me.
MRI's are not safe while pregnant!!
If it was more affordable I definately would! But not as a phone charm!

Souvenir D'italie Lyrics
The moonlight reflected the mediterranean splendour,The silvery sand was a magical carpet of white,We shared with each other our kisses and willing surrender,And promised each other that we would remember that night.Then we had to part broken hearted,You gave me a shell as we parted . . .You told me to listen,For it had a message for me.Pretty shell that we found by the sea,Souvenir d'italie!Pretty shell that I took home with me,Souvenir d'italie!Even though we are so far apart,Still the shell speaks to me,And a voice that is yours,Calls me back to your shores,Voice of love . . .Souvenir d'italie!< instrumental verse >Ma perchй non mi fai piъ dormireSolo tu, me lo puoi dire.Te ne sei andata cosнE mi lasci partire,Souvenir, souvenir d'italie!
Lyrics taken from http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/p/perry_como/souvenir_ditalie.html

Please tell me you did at least one thing fun this weekend…
I happen to think cheerleading is fun, so yes I did do a few fun things this weekend!
Thank goodness I only have two of them. Puck doesn't help either, but he's been busy with his own thing, trying to make it big with his guitar stuff.
Times like this makes me appreciate not having any brothers.
Just reading this makes me tired, you've been really busy.
I guess that's just who I am - the busy bee!
Yeah. Well hopefully. Until the next fight. Carter and Zach were getting into something.
Oh, I see. Well, boys will be boys right?
Bad fight with the mom. It was like a war at my house. But, I think it's all okay now.
Ah, so I heard. But I'm glad it's better now, dear.
Puckerman War number ten rang out, but besides that, it was alright.
Oh, yikes. Hope everything is better now.
What have you been doing?
Practicing and making up new cheers, nothing out of the ordinary. I've also been trying to get ahead in my studies, so I have extra time for cheerleading. So I've been quite swamped.
Got grounded for the rest of the weekend, but could be worse. It's just for the night, after all. That's good! I think everyone is busy right now. Or was.
You did? Oh, Cher. What'd you do to get yourself grounded?
It reminds of Peter Pan, but you probably get that a lot. Right, but you could always go into a dramatic whirlwind of rebellion and ask them to change your name. People do it all the time, but if I was you I'd keep it. Your squad is really good! Definitely better than New York Preps', They lack in the pep department.
I do get it a lot, but I don't mind hearing it again. Hmm, as tempting as that sounds, I think I'll pass. Perhaps in the future? It's a lovely idea, after all. Why thank you! As captain, I really do take pride in my squad. Pep is a must, of course. But I'm sure your school is as peppy as ours! Perhaps a little motivation is all that's needed.
is it awkward introduction time?
Hi there dear! I'm Wendy Puckerman, pleasure to meet you.

One of the biggest challenges that online businesses face today is maintaining relevance in the eyes of the search engines, especially Google. With Google controlling more than 90% of the search traffic in the US alone, it's not surprising that the most important goal of any web-based marketing strategy is to be number one in Google.

FAA Moves To Keep LGA High-density Rule
The FAA today issued a "proposed order" to keep in effect through at least September of next year the high-density rule at New York La Guardia Airport, including the slot reservation program, that is now scheduled to expire on January 1. The agency last month proposed a new rule for public comment to maintain the number of operations at La Guardia's current hourly limits (for general aviation, six slots available per hour between 6:30 a.m. and 10 p.m.). Comments on the proposed rule are not due until October 30 and a final rule cannot be issued before the expiration of the high-density rule. "An order that temporarily maintains La Guardia's current operational limits during the interval between the high-density rule's expiration and the effective date of the proposed replacement rule appears necessary," the FAA said, "because we need to avoid any increase in the number of operations or a significant rescheduling of existing flights at La Guardia."
