Solving Equations Starter. This is a pictorial representation of two equations that have to be solved. One of my groups Yr8, just stared at it and once they saw the solution, they sighed by the simplicity of it. Then, my Yr 7 had a good go and eventually solve them. It's interesting and can be the i More…ntroduction to solving simultaneous equations. It can trigger so much discussion. It doesn't really matter if the group can't solve it. But, I'm sure that any group can be led into it and become familiar with that type of problems. Dead simple and a great starter!
Please provide a rating.
Really nice idea. Thanks. If anyone else is struggling to open you can view notebook files online at http://express.smarttech.com/ - The file should store in your downloads folder when you first try and open it.
Nice little puzzle. Will see if my top set year 8's can solve it tomorrow!
Really like this use a similar thing for introducing simultaneous equations with burgers and fries
very good. great pictoral representation

Dolphins call each other by their name! Because they are the best! »
Can't see the video? Watch it on Vegansaurus.com!
Dolphins have names for each other! I guess they already knew dolphins named themselves, but this new study discovered that they will call each other by names, especially when they are separated.
"Animals produced copies when they were separated from a close associate and this supports our belief that dolphins copy another animal's signature whistle when they want to reunite with that specific individual," lead author Stephanie King of the University of St. Andrews Sea Mammal Research Unit told Discovery News.
So of course they totally harassed dolphin mamas and babies to find this out but we can still appreciate the implications of the science even if we disapprove of the methods: dolphins are awesome!
If you want to help dolphins, who are slaughtered by the thousands every year (not to mention help captive in shameful zoos and aquariums), check out Sea Shepherd's dolphin initiatives.

Humpback whales are pop music geniuses! »
As any yoga-loving hippie weirdo (HUGS) will tell you, humpback whale songs are the most relaxing way to decompress while you're posing in svetlana or whatever it's called. satsuma. saunasauna. The relaxing pose. Anyway, now we know more about what exactly the songs are!
David Rothenberg, a musician and environmental philosopher, writes:
The mainstream scientific view about humpback whale song is that it's all a kind of pop music evolutionary strategy; that the whales all like the same hit song, but it has to be a continually changing new "hit." Just like humans listening to Top 40 radio, quickly getting bored with the latest chart topper and always craving the next variant.
They're creating their own hits! Suck it, Adele, these whales are rolling in the deep, FOR REAL.

Dolphins are people too: Non-human persons and the right to live »
Apparently this science conference in Vancouver over the weekend was pretty interesting! They didn't just talk about test tube burgers, they also talked about non-human persons! Man, what did I do this weekend? The only scientific advancement I made was in regard to my tolerance for rail vodka (but I assure you, we made great strides). Non-human persons are much more interesting. The idea is that there are animals with intelligence and consciousness that should grant them the right to life.
A group of scientists and ethicists made the case this past weekend for "the declaration of rights for cetaceans," under which, dolphins, whales, and porpoises would have the enforceable right to live:
"We're saying the science has shown that individuality, consciousness and self-awareness are no longer unique human properties. That poses all kinds of challenges," said Tom White, director of the Centre for Ethics and Business at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles.
"Dolphins are non-human persons. A person needs to be an individual. And if individuals count, then the deliberate killing of individuals of this sort is ethically the equivalent of deliberately killing a human being. The captivity of beings of this sort, particularly in conditions that would not allow for a decent life, is ethically unacceptable, and commercial whaling is ethically unacceptable," White said.
How interesting! Was this the idea behind Tilikum v. Seaworld? If the declaration were incorporated into law, Seaworld and the like would not be allowed to keep whales.
The declaration is backed by experts and relies on the massive amounts of research that has been done on cetaceans in the past. Dolphins are said to be able to identify themselves in a mirror, use symbol-based language, use tools, learn skills and pass them on, and have individual personalities. Does that grant them rights? The UN is considering the declaration as part of its convention on migratory species.
You really should read this Guardian piece on the whole thing as it has the most amazing stories about a rascally dolphin named Kelly who learned more and more ways to trick her captors into forking over more treats! Speaking of which, I'm working on my declaration of rights for rascals. Kelly would certainly be protected under the DRR. As would chimps, elephants, and Alan Thicke.
You can sign the declaration of rights for cetaceans here!

Good news: test tube meat burgers will be available this fall! For a zillion dollars! »
Picture from Maastricht University of test tube meat!
This weekend, Prof Mark Post of Maastricht University in the Netherlands spoke at the American Academy for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) annual meeting in Vancouver and broke the super news that a test tube hamburger is on the immediate horizon! Last year, Post was able to grow small strips of muscle tissue from a pig's stem cells. He told the AAAS yesterday that he has successfully replicated the process using a cow's stem cells. In light of this, Post thinks he can create the first lab-meat hamburger ready for consumption this fall!: "In October we are going to provide a proof of concept showing out of stem cells we can make a product that looks, feels and hopefully tastes like meat," Post said.
Of course, the process is so arduous that each burger will cost 250,000 euros (about $329,950.00), but researchers think soon they will be able to produce the stuff on a larger, cheaper scale.
I think most of us at Vegansaurus are pro-lab meat, if it means less suffering for animals. But according to the Telegraph:
Although it is possible to extract a limited number of stem cells from cows without killing them, Prof Post said the most efficient way of taking the process forward would still involve slaughter.
He said: "Eventually my vision is that you have a limited herd of donor animals in the world that you keep in stock and that you get your cells form there."
So, that rains on my parade a bit. But I mean, who thought they were going to be able to make hamburgers from stem cells?! Fairly soon, scientist could be like, "dudes, we totes don't need any cows at all." Who can say?!
You may remember that last year, PETA said they'd pay a million dollars to the first scientist "to produce and bring to market in vitro meat." BUT! PETA's offer is actually for chicken, so Post's burger doesn't cut it. Plus, you have to sell a lot of it commercially before you can win anyway and at $329,950.00 a burger, Post has a ways to go. But maybe he doesn't need PETA's money because apparently he has some mysterious, extremely rich donor. The donor wishes to remain anonymous to the public but Post says he's a household name known for "turning everything into gold." When the first hamburger is ready, Post wants British celebrity chef Heston Blumenthal to cook it and this mysterious guy gets to try it with whomever* he invites to join him.
This mysterious benefactor is my favorite part of the whole story because you know he's one of those gagillionaires that hunts humans on his own private island. But, alas, even cannibalism has lost its novelty and so onto the lab meat!
*I don't know if that should be whoever or whomever but I tried my best!

Meat eaters downplay the minds of animals so they can continue to eat the bodies of animals »
There's a very interesting study in this month's Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin that we vegans may find particularly fascinating: "Don't Mind Meat? The Denial of Mind to Animals Used for Human Consumption." It's all about how meat eaters cope with taking a life so they can have a hamburger. What, you don't get the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin? It's OK! Thankfully, a Psychology Today blog and the University of Queensland both break the study down for us.
One part of the study asked participants (all meat eaters) to rate how willing they are to eat different animals. Then they asked them to rate the mental ability of different animals. Guess what? People were more likely to eat the animals they attributed lower mental ability to. OK, not surprised. This could just mean people eat dumber animals.
The next study asked people to picture cows and sheep. People who pictured them living in happy sunny fields rated the mental abilities of the animals higher than those who specifically thought of the cows and sheep being raised as food. Now we are getting somewhere!
Still another study asked these meat eaters to write about the process of raising and killing animals for food. They were all told there would be a food sampling after they finished writing. Half the people were told they'd be served fruit and half the people were told they'd be served beef and lamb. Before they ate, the participants were asked to rate the mental abilities of cows and sheep. Now, get a load of this!: The people that were expecting to eat meat rated the mental abilities of cows and sheep much lower than the people that knew they were going to eat fruit. Say whaaat?!
The abstract summarizes the implications nicely:
Many people like eating meat, but most are reluctant to harm things that have minds. The current three studies show that this dissonance motivates people to deny minds to animals. Study 1 demonstrates that animals considered appropriate for human consumption are ascribed diminished mental capacities. Study 2 shows that meat eaters are motivated to deny minds to food animals when they are reminded of the link between meat and animal suffering. Finally, Study 3 provides direct support for our dissonance hypothesis, showing that expectations regarding the immediate consumption of meat increase mind denial. Moreover, this mind denial in turn reduces negative affect associated with dissonance.
So, how wacky are meat eaters?! They don't even know they do this! Wacky meat eaters. I wonder if people who don't eat meat get any mental benefit because they don't have to reconcile this dissonance. Know what I mean? Like maybe we save mental energy and can focus that energy on additional intellectual endeavors. Hold up, I think we just figured out why I'm such a Super Genius!

Walmart is selling flax milk?! »
Apparently, Walmart is selling flax milk at 2,500 of their stores. Damn, Walmart! Way to be modern! Walmart is still an evil beast but it's cool that the milk will be available in such an accessible store. This flax milk comes from a couple in North Dakota, which started producing flax 11 years ago and has a full line of products under the company Flax USA. I've never heard of flax milk but it does appear people have been making it at home for a while. Any readers make their own flax milk? What's it taste like?!
Here are some of the nutrition details from the Flax USA site:
- 50 to 60 calories per serving
- As much calcium as dairy milk
- Zero cholesterol
- Zero saturated fat and zero trans fat
- Non-GMO
Flax is a great source of omega-3 and the milk is enriched with vitamin A, D, and B12. Flax is also high in fiber! Gotta love some fiber.
I'm really into flax because it's supposed to be good for crazy people and I need all the help I can get! Well, omega-3 is supposed to be good for crazy people and flax has got it. There was a study conducted on depressed mice (?) that showed they exhibited fewer depressive behaviors (?) when given alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), the type of omega-3 that's in flax. Of course knowing how inaccurate animal-testing can be, this isn't the most solid evidence. And depressed mice? Really? I'm imagining a mouse that, like, won't leave the house or take calls from friends. He's no longer interested in things he once enjoyed.
The Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine actually released a statement on this study basically saying it was inhumane and effed. They should have just tested on people; everyone already consumes foods containing ALA so it's not like it would kill people if they tested on them. Leave the depressed mice alone. Or better, let them all go so they can come live with me or Laura and we can eat ice cream and watch Bridget Jones together. Sometimes you just need to wallow, you know?
Here's a great "primer for the mental health professional" on omegas and major depression that collates all the different studies. It's dense like whoa but I pulled out some points. Most of the studies are done with fish oil, not flax. In several different studies, scientists saw a correlation between low levels of omega-3s and depression. High rates of fish consumption (gross) has a correlation with lower levels of depression, bipolar disorder, season affective disorder and lower rates of postpartum depression. A small Harvard study showed that a very small amount of EPA (another omega-3) reduced aggression and depressive symptoms in women with borderline personality disorder (which is very difficult to treat). And there are a lot of other studies, OK? I can't just tell you about all of them, I have things to do and naps to take! But basically, the journal wants you to know that there has been a ton of study results that indicate omega-3s could be really good for depression but then again, none of it could be true. Yay science!
Fish oil has different types of omega-3s than flaxseed oil but your body can convert ALA to those other types (though only at a pretty low rate). The debate over fish oil versus flaxseed oil is a bit confusing. It seems though that with flaxseed oil, your body needs to take an extra step to get omega-3 benefits by converting the ALA so it's not as efficient as fish oil. But that's for heart disease and cholesterol, I don't know about mental health. It was specifically the AHA that helped the depressed mice. Some people say you just have to take more flaxseed oil. I can do that. Since we aren't going to eat fish, it's time to hit the flax milk!
OK, I've sufficiently bored everyone. Carry on!

It should be noted that my second thought after witnessing this was "I wonder why that guy didn't go for the Lexus two cars down." Yes, I am that jaded.
In hindsight, he may have been from AAA and helping out someone who had locked their keys in the car. The forest green windbreaker seems to be preferred by roadside assistants and joyriders alike.

I hate these wildfires.
I'm really anxious to see the Wonder Years tomorrow. I want to show them my tattoo and I'm curious to see how they will react. Can't wait!
More people need to go to shows man. It's a blast when there are a lot of people there. Good things to come for me personally too :) Very excited.
how powerful the internet really is, especially in the world of music. I remember when you actually had no choice but to go buy a band's record or see them live to hear their music, and I take for granted how easy it is to listen to artists now. It bothers me how kids use the internet and think it's so important to have a certain number of myspace plays/friends (or I guess likes on facebook since myspace is pretty much dead) and think THAT should determine a record deal or not. No one wants to DIY anything anymore. They all want instant gratification on the internet.
Now I'm not saying that I'm anti-internet by any means. That would make me a HUGE hypocrite because I use the internet for a lot of my musical discoveries. It's a great tool to meet people in faraway parts of the country that want to listen to your music but can't come see you play shows. It's a great way to keep people interested in your band posted on tours, shows, song/album release dates, etc. and make it available with a few clicks of a mouse. That's also amazing to me. When it gets to the point where people argue about how many people "like" their band as opposed to others and who should get a record deal based upon that is ridiculous. (Keep in mind, this is not aimed at anyone in particular, it's just something that I know happens all the time and was on my mind.)
It should be about the music, not about the social status. Of course I say this now, but when I'm in a band again, I'm inevitably gonna say "Hey, go like my band on facebook!" and it's not for the social status, I just want to spread music. These kids I know recently started a band and they haven't played a single show but are so stoked on having x amount of friends liking their page. That's great and all but why not play a show? Jump on a bill? Ya know? The amount of kids liking your facebook page means absolutely NOTHING if you haven't even played a show because they don't even know what they're liking. And quite frankly even after you play shows, the amount of kids liking your facebook page means barely anything. It's not about your facebook likes, it's about what you do with them.
When I was in my first band, The Epitome Of Everything, ALL I cared about at first was putting it on myspace, which I think was really stupid of me. Putting up my picture for everyone to see and putting the band's page on my top friends for everyone to see that I "was in a band", which was really stupid of me because all we did were cover songs. Haha oh man, that was a long time ago…
I'm making a huge decision here. I'm quitting school. I want to be in a band and make it in the music industry. I'm absolutely terrified of failing but I must do it. I don't care what anyone says to me anymore. I know what I want with my life, I won't tell you what you need for your's. I need to be in a band with people who are as serious about it as I am. I don't know if I will find that here in San Angelo. I have faith in a couple of guys. I just want to do it. I'm sick of going to shows, and I'm sick of just playing acoustic sets. They are fun, but I want to play with other musicians. I know almost all I talk about on here is music, but I wouldn't talk about it all the time if it didn't mean the world to me.
I'm just sick of being sad. Playing music makes me so happy and I love doing it. That's what I want in life.
Monday Night Combat is keeping me occupied but I'm ready for Portal 2
Wish I could play shows every weekend in a band…
Because a stupid old man pulled out of a parking lot halfway into my lane, stopped because of how close I was, and then DIDN'T MOVE. I stared at him and he just stared at me. This was immediately after I almost saw another old man run a red light and nearly collide with an oncoming car because he had to make that left turn when the light was clearly red. He did not stop, the other car did.
I have nothing against old people, but c'mon man.
oh hai bass guitar
I wanna make one with another band once I'm in a band again. Great chances for collaboration that isn't necessarily a one time thing, but an outside force to bring into the mix.

All it does is offer a simple, discreet way of testing their drink should they want to, and they don't have to carry around a special glass or testing strip or anything.

Oops, something didn't work.
I have created a VS 2014 CTP2 VM in Azure. But it does not have the Roslyn compiler enabled.
Alas, I only have access to the VS Professional SKU in my MSDN subscription.
Is there a way to enable Roslyn in the VS Professional or is it available just for the Ultimate edition?
Thanks for your superb show.
Eduardo Quintana
Hi Eduardo,
Do you mean Visual Studio "14" CTP2? (There's no release date yet, so we're calling it "14" -- which is the major version number of VS.) The Roslyn compiler is certainly enabled in Visual Studio "14". Actually, there really isn't a way to disable it. In Visual Studio "14", the Roslyn compilers are the only C# and VB compilers.
That said, many of the new C# and VB language features are not available by default. We're still working hard on them and you have to make a small tweak to your project to enable them. Just add <LangVersion>experimental</LangVersion> to your project file and the new language features will "light up" and be available to you. There's more information about this here.

Hi Dustin,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes VS 14 CTP2. I added the <LangVersion>experimental</LangVersion> to my project file and the new language features do not appear to be available and are reported as errors when I try to use them.
That is why I have added this posting originally.
Eduardo Quintana
Hi Eduardo,
That doesn't sound good! Would you mind filing an issue on Microsoft Connect? On the feedback form, be sure to specify Visual Studio Professional "14" CTP 2 for the Visual Studio/.NET Framework Tooling Version.

Should We Get a Dog or Not? [PHOTOS]
I'll never live down my son's criticism of me, which I deserve, because I told him that someday we'll get a dog. This has not happened yet. I worry that I'll awake to barking at 2am because a car drove by. I'm concerned that my good work shoes will get chewed up. I fear cleaning up the dog's landmines left on the living room rug and I can't stand a begging dog at the dinner table.

One of first dates we had at this view, we brought candles and fun stuff. I'll never forget this night, falling in love for the first time with this wonderful young man. Even though at times our relationship is bipolar, I'll never forget how he swept me off my feet and adorned me with his love. We talked about all our hopes and dreams, and even being together in the future… And here we are now more in love than ever. I know we're not perfect and we tend to fight more than we should, but when I look into his eyes, I have a flashback of this particular date in the hills.. His soul devours me as it whispers "remember the night that we fell in love…" I still get butterflies when I think about it. The way the candles made his gorgeous face glow in the moonlight.. The way my forehead tingles at the thought of when he kissed it that night. The way the wind blew against our skin was reassuring that summer night. The way his fingers felt as he moved my hair out of my face. The sound of his voice telling me how beautiful i am. How intensely tight he held me close to his heart. The way he tickled me until i slmost rolled off the mountain! The way we laid down on our blanket and listened to the mountain's heart beat. The way he told me he would freeze time at this exact moment if he could. As he whispered "Be mine, forever…" Soooo swoon, hid body spoke to my soul, the language of love. The way everything felt so right. I wish I could go back in time and re-live this moment over and over again, but these vivid memories will live on forever in my heart. I love you Joshua… Please get candles and take me back here ASAP!

Mine has a screw one the bottom under it but I dont know if it the same as yours. But just undo the screw and it should all come out.
Most oil additives are already in the oil from the get go. Some folk have figured out how to make money by selling you those same additives. Some additives overused will not allow good breakin or...
Yup the sears one. I have had mine since 77 and still use it.
Yup looks like the oil is starting from the carb area then runs back down the bike. So only one "leak" but thats the side where the vent tube for the engine is.
I ride my /7 spring, summer, and fall neer every day. I dont like to ride in icy conditoins in winter. With normal mait. it does fine.
This is the one I use. Holds alot of stuff and will double as a backpack.
You can always use somthing like this http://www.marlincrawler.com/hardware-tools/tools/c-clip-pliers I have a few different sizes but I used to be a mechanic. They come in handy for other things.
Go Rams Oooh wait never mind.
I use this one on my R100 it holds alot of stuff and has a front stap in case the magnets move wich they dont I have been up to the ton and no problems. It also keeps wind off your chest a bit. ...

I changed mine a few months ago I just figured it was hard becuse I used all new parts still not hand ach hard. I did not grease the discribed.
Thanks for sharing!
I got some from Indy BMW(falcone power sports) the bmw line was not braided and Eric said that they must not make it anymore or he cant get it.

Thank you for keeping us informed of developments in this important topic. Although the results of this study are disappointing to patients, this is the kind of study we need and have been waiting for. It is a well-designed study, using a well-defined patient cohort. It addresses the shortcomings of many previous studies. The people who conducted the study are eminently qualified in their fields. I'm sure there will be further disagreements about methodologies and further controversy over the role of XMRV in human disease, but this is the kind of high caliber research we need to advance the science and ultimately arrive at the truth. My thanks to the researchers who did the study and to you and the WSJ for covering the story.
One applauds WSJ and Ms.Marcus for their very professional news coverage of this life-and-death important work. I second ixchelkali's applause, but want to add that the XMRV research so far only covers blood samples. What's hiding in lymph or elsewhere no one has the funding to explore. Readers should keep in mind, meanwhile, that this silly little name, "chronic fatigue syndrome," dreamed up by a committee of the CDC to replace the international moniker "myalgic encephalomyelitis," hides a great human tragedy costing the United States some $20 billion annually in direct expense and lost productivity. Doctors who cover both have found it as deadly and horrific as AIDs. It similarly destroys immune systems, and also ravages nerves and endocrine. Yet the CDC slammed the door on retroviral research in ME/CFS 20 years ago, and the one million Americans suffering from it — many of them pauperized and helpless — merit only a dribble of federal spending annually, many, many times less than virtually any other disease.
Well said, Deborah. I particularly like "this silly little name." The silly-little-name has kept me ill every day since January 1986.
I have been disabled by CFS/ME since Feb 1988. Every marker said not to be related to the cause of CFS, I have. Medical tests confirmed, including XMRV. Let us all remember that when Polio first struck, it was called "Infantile Disease" since the medical community thought those patients weren't really sick.
This is the kind of top notch research that will further our understanding of this disease.
Note that the article ends with the authors emphasizing the seriousness of the disease, that there is much evidence for the involvement of infectious agents and there is great need for more research into the causes of ME/CFS.
Thank you Dr. Singh (and all the other authors)! And thank you Ms. Dockser-Marcus.
An excellent study, comprehensive and the closest to date in terms of replicating the methods of the WPI and Lo et al. studies.
It is naturally disappointing that the XMRV hypothesis ultimately turned out to be false. However I hope that these studies have created additional awareness of the disease.
The fact is that more medical research is direly needed for this disease. The fact is that societal impact in terms of long term disability (spontaneous recovery rates are low according to meta reviews), quality of life and economic costs are very high. In terms of NIH funding, research into CFS is underfunded by a factor of 15-25 times compared to other diseases such as Autism, Diabetes or Multiple Sclerosis for example.
Indeed a recent CDC estimate of economic costs, projected national costs in the USA of $51 billion per year. Yet the NIH only spends $5-6 million per year compared to $100+ million on diseases with similar societal impact. This is compounded by the fact that despite biological abnormalities being consistently found in patients, we are still no closer to highly efficacious treatments.
Recent CDC economic costs study:
As always, Ms Dockser Marcus, thank you for coverage into ME/CFS and XMRV. I appreciate it when you look into both sides of the story, and report it to us.
And thank you for asking the question if this invalidates XMRV in prostate cancer. This could effectively end her XMRV research career. She is a world expert in this area with the highest funding.
Thank you for reporting on ME/CFS. I wonder if you'll have to change the X picture in time.
Dear WSJ and Ms.Marcus,
Thx as always, but:
Dr Singh's study shows that her new assays are unable to detect XMRV/HGRVs in known positives.
I think that it is fair to say that there is ample evidence to support the existence of XMRV as an infectious virus and that it can infect humans.
If that wasn't so, then the XMRV related research embarked upon by many groups – including the blood working group, would probably never have even begun.
The problem that I therefore have with this most recent research paper is that if, as they say, Dr. Singh's group couldn't find XMRV in any one of the 300 samples they tested (both ME/cfs patients and healthy controls), then that implies (to me at least) that XMRV isn't present (at all) in the population.
Against the background of all the evidence to the contrary, I find that conclusion hard to believe and it suggests to me, that there was somehow a problem with their methodology.
Furthermore, how does Dr. Singh now explain her previous findings relating to XMRV and prostate cancer ? Afterall, the virus can't just magically appear from nowhere in P.C.
Is Dr. Singh now therefore going to re-evaluate the entirety of her work on XMRV & P.C. ?
Personally, I doubt it. But if she does, then that would be quite telling.
Dr Light should no expain that only two of the sample tested were positive in Lombardi et al. I sure he would not wish to mislead anyone.
This study used unvalidated methods and the results prove it could not detect the virus in two known positives. Perhaps one of these groups should now apply the scientific method and attempt to replicate or calibrate their assays to clinically positive samples.
I used to think that Ila Singh was "on our side". Now she's involved in poor testing techniques that can't even find XMRV in WPI's patients' +ve samples. Use of wrong culture cells, refrozen samples, wrong PCR reagents, annealing temperatures – there's so many places to go wrong. I'm sure Judy M will be easily able to shoot holes in this paper. Just WHY DON"T these people use exactly the same techniques etc as WPI?
And as for "… encourage further research into the involvement of other infectious agents in CFS, and these efforts must continue", this is evidence to say that this team has been nobbled by the Dark Forces, in that they are trying to divert attention away from XMRV and into various blind alleys.
Perhaps a clinical trial of antiretrovirals is the best way to go from here. We have a number of anecdotes saying that patients have improved markedly after some months on ARV's. How many anecdotes constitute scientific proof? 10? 100? We've known it's a retrovirus for 25 years, so why not try ARV's? They're no worse than long-term antibiotics, and my son has been on a tetracycline for over a year – for acne.
Ms. Marcus,
Thank you for another excellent and accurate blogpost!
Interesting study that allows us to know a little more about this disease that causes chronic pain that the suffering. As an example I want to tell them that my father is suffering from CFS and have to buy hydrocodone because this medication to control pain. This medicine her eat for 3 years and although it mentions Findrxonline which has side effects there are no problems because it is used properly.
Dr. Singh previous detected XMRV in prostate cancer tissue. I think it is important that she run these new tests of hers on the blood of those same prostate cancer patients. What would she conclude if they were also negative? She should have done this before attempting this study, as she could have validated her own assay against her own positives. To my knowledge she did not do this nor did she replicate WPI's methodology. Therefore we have learned nothing from this study other than how not to detect human gammaretrovirus.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21325416 – In artificially inoculated macaques, XMRV was undetectable in blood after about a month. The virus just isn't in the blood, but that doesn't mean patient's aren't infected.
Thanks for the post! Excellent reporting as usual! I think Herv-W endogenous retrovirus should be more assertively investigated in ME/CFS and other neurological disease. Perron and colleagues reveal HERV-W in MS.
Boy, I didn't think the conspiracy was this vast!
Oh yes, and how about the autopsy studies? Singh was slated to study Xmrv in corpses a while back. This will be interesting. Things aren't all dead, yet.
stay on some grat supplements and you wont have any problems, i reommend a company called extrme V, who cana give you your zinc, vitamin e, and coq10 which the combanation of those three over time buil big time immunity and i recommend a amino acid drink called citruaid, me being a type 1 diabetic, its terrible when i get sick, ive been on supplements for around 2 years now have not even had a stuffy nose !!
RRM. since when has poorly conducted science been a conspiracy?
In a monkey study, the blood of the monkeys who were infected with xmrv didn't always test positive for XMRV, but when they did autopsies they found the organs had a good deal of XMRV. Similarly, when Prof. Singh tested prostate tissue, controls were 4% positive; but when she only tested blood she found 0%. So how can she say flatly in the study and the title of the press release that XMRV is not associated with ME? I think the most she can say is that she didn't find xmrv in the blood of patients or controls.
One of WPI's positives they sent to Singh was one they used to make a clone from (which has been sequenced) and they also took an electronmicrograph of XMRV coming out of a cell in this person's blood (in addition to finding it positive with some of the four or five tests WPI used). So it's possible that that sample is in fact positive and Singh couldn't find the XMRV. So, again, it's disingenuous to say "XMRV is not associated with ME" when we don't know that for sure. All we know for sure from her study is that she did not detect XMRV in any of the samples.
all i can say is that i am XMRV +, i got this XMRV last year trhough sexual contact at first i thought it was HIV but it was ruled out many times along with HTLV, this bug has ruined my life like you have no idea it has given me more health problems that i could possibly imagine, even my friends with HIV dont have as many health problems as me and it's barely been one year since i got it, i can barely keep up with work and the worst thing of all is that people don't belive is real …in the mean the CDC just steps back and tries to say i'ts all contammination, they know they messed up some 30 years ago when they got the first reports od ME/CFS outbreaks and didn't do anything about it.
they will try to bury this thing and they wont stop until they do they know damn well that if the American public knows what they have been doing for the last 30 years they would lose credibility.
my life has been ruined and i did everything right, i started a new relationship and waited 3 months to have sex but before we did we both got tested for HIV,HTLV and we were both negative, who would imagine that there's another retrovirus out there that's infecting people left and right. Now my goal is to infect as many people as possible as long as the CDC keeps up with the lies i will continue to donate blood every two weeks. Chicago illinois dont get a blood transfusion because u might get my blood
@ Justin – I agree with your questions concerning the conclusions drawn in this paper (can we really say from this study that XMRV – or other MLVs – are not associated with ME/CFS?).
I wonder if Dr. Singh felt some need to discourage ARV use in light of her earlier in vitro study showing XMRV replication was inhibited by ARVs.
My questions arise after reading Dr. Singh's sustained confidence in her findings of a prostate cancer/XMRV association in Mindy Kitei's CFSCentral.com blog.
In her prostate cancer studies, Dr. Singh finds 4% of the her healthy controls positive for XMRV, I would assume that at least some percentage (4%?) of the CFS patients and controls in the CFS study would have tested positive had she looked for the retrovirus in their tissue. This and the macaque studies that are consistent with her tissue studies (XMRV positive in many tissues – but negative blood after 2 weeks). As for contamination, Singh clearly found contamination in her study and she could not find XMRV in the blood (patients or controls). I have no doubt that Dr. Singh's efforts were sincere and extensive. However, I am not sure the conclusion that XMRV/MLVs is not associated with ME/CFS is entirely justified by her data.
I got ME/CFS through sexual contact. I had been a single father for many years before I considered being with someone again. I have two amazing daughters and there's something so special a about them. I love them with all my heart. I wish you could meet them. I have tested XMRV positive. The girls have been supportive of me as I have been in decline for several years now and I have assured them all along that we would find a way, that they would be okay. I've always felt that someday I would be able to return to health enough to make up for everything has been lost.
I recently became so debilitated that I lost my job – just didn't have the mental capacity to do simple tasks and couldn't stay awake. I am plagued with cognitive impairment and pain. I held on as long as I could. I've been on anti-retrovirals but had mixed results at best. I've lost my income and health insurance that I now badly need. I may be able to get small help to live through social security. I am looking into a black hole – scant income if any, and no hope of trying new therapies or treatments because I no longer have the money or insurance. I can't get new insurance. It does not matter that I've always been employed and have always had health insurance my whole life.
I can no longer fake it with my daughters. I am becoming more spacey and clumsy. I keep telling them we will find a way but they aren't buying it. I can see the fear and worry in their eyes, especially since I lost my job. They are reading the writing on the all. I am no longer able to assure them or to be there for them. I can no longer be the father that they have always counted on all their lives. I have my breakdowns when they are not around.
If anyone knows of anything that can help – any thread of hope, please, please, post it. The only thing I can think of now that could possibly save us would be clinical trials that give you medications in return for becoming part of the trial. I could drive somewhere to become part of a trial and live out of my car if I had to. Maybe, just maybe there is something out there that could slow the disease or lessen the effects on the brain so someone could function again. If anyone knows of anything like this – involving XMRV,, CFS, ME, etc,, please contact me.
I've tried so many things and time is running out. Someone please help us.

Thank you for a professional report on this study. As a newspaper reporter I find it refreshing that you go to the source of news and don't rehash press releases. I have had ME/CFS for 19 years now. No matter the outcome, I so appreciate the spotlight being directed to this truly horrible hidden disease. I'm sure further research will help unravel it's mysteries. Research, research, research is what is needed on many fronts.
I am thankful that Amy Dockser Marcus continue to cover the continually unfolding news and research on ME/CFS and XMRV. However, headlines like the one today are misleading the public. If you can't find the virus, you can't deduce there is no link.
Having read Dr. Singh's publication it is apparent that this was not a replication study. Also the fact that Dr. Singh stated "Given the lack of evidence for XMRV or XMRV-like viruses in our cohort of CFS patients, as well as the lack of these viruses in a set of patients previously tested positive, we feel that that XMRV is not associated with CFS." We "feel"?????
According to Dr. Singh, "testing was performed in an independent laboratory (ours), using MANY of the same techniques as in the original study. To our knowledge, this is the first study to report negative findings after a FULL REPLICATION of all assay methods in patients who have previously tested positive for XMRV."
MANY techniques does not mean FULL REPLICATOIN
Also, "we feel XMRV is not associated with CFS" is a rather odd statement given she has the following two patents:
Dr. Singh also stated "that there is still a wealth of prior data to encourage further research into the involvemen of other infectious agents in CFS, and these efforts must continue."
First and foremost, the study found no link because it couldn't find anything. Secondly, perhaps Dr. Singh has a confllct of interest like so many other researchers investigating XMRV/MuLV's today.
The ability to secure private or federal funding, potential monetary gains from possible inventions, and possible Nobel recognition for discovering a new retrovirus have become more important than collaborating to help desperately ill patients.
Singh used a clone, not clinically positive samples. But she said this on the 8 Aug 2011:
"you really need to develop good tests, good sensitive tests. It's just not sufficient to show that something can detect something in a plasmid template. It's hard to know if it's going to detect something in a matrix that's as complicated as blood or cellular DNA. So I think that's probably one of the biggest reasons for why people find different results."
TWiV 94: XMRV with Dr. Ila Singh
Treatment of CFIDS is aimed at symptom relief. No single therapy exists to help all patients with CFIDS. This disease is treated with medications prescribed – vicodin, hydrocodone or lortab, to control severe pain that causes.

This could depend on a lot of things, like your facial complexion and whether or not you want to wear both black and brown shoes. I'm sort of a stickler about the rules of not mixing black and brown together (so, no black shoes while wearing a camel overcoat), so I'd say grey. But that's just me.
It's the final day of the November of Dressing Nicely (aka, #NoDN) and it's rather fitting that I actually needed to wear a suit today for work. You don't really want to show up at a meeting with executives of a potential business partner wearing jeans. It's also not the time to go over the top with your color, pattern and texture coordination acting as if you have something to prove.
I kept it simple and stuck to the rules: a dark, conservative, solid suit; a solid blue spread-collar shirt; a traditional necktie pattern with only two colors; a coordinating, a pocket square that's been TV-folded; and black captoe oxfords.
Nothing's too flashy or out of place, but it's still a well-coordinated look that gets the job done. I'm a firm believer that if you don't have to wear a suit everyday, then you can probably get away with owning a simple setup like this and be all right for 95% of what you'd need to wear a suit for in your life.
Get a well-fitting suit, a fitted shirt, a solid pair of leather-soled shoes and a nice necktie — and never worry again about needing something nice to wear on short notice.
Fit details after the jump:
No clue where you can find buttons in Chicago, however, I've bought several button sets here.
If you really want to prevent shrinkage, you could just cold-water wash them by hand and then hang dry.
I usually throw mine in the washer on cold and then dry them on low for about 15 minutes because I'm lazy.
Still, if they shrink and don't work out, Brooks Brothers has a pretty good returns policy. They've been helpful in the past for stuff like that.
If you're wearing a suit, sure. Sport coat, not as much. No coat, never.
You going to be wearing suits or wool trousers a lot in a slightly more formal capacity? Strand.
Denim, chinos, casual-fabric trousers? McAllister.
Just my opinion though. I have both (Walnut Strand, dark brown McAllister) and wear them quite often.
I could probably do all my shopping at Brooks Brothers, if forced to.
If I got to split them up, then I'd probably do clothing at Howard Yount (trousers and jackets are great and I assume sweaters are as well, plus they've got shirting now), shoes at Leather Soul (just take a look at GW's hoofs!) and accessories at Shrine Haberdashers (Drake's neckties and Francesco Maglia umbrellas).
Of course, this is overlooking a lot of great online retailers that I'd love to buy stuff from down the road. Frankly, I'm glad there's a large amount of choice out there.
Under $100: Brooks Brothers Milano cut, Rugby University cut and Bonobos (all are on sale now).
Over $100: Unis, Epaulet.
I'd suggest reading Put This On's primers (parts one, two and three) first. Also, A Fistful of Style has bunches of thrifting tips.
I'd generally suspect that people would be in donation mode pre-Christmas or at least pre-New Year, because they'd want to get their donations in before the end of the year for tax benefit purposes. Usually, this new haul will make its way toward the racks around early January or so, but it's kind of relative.
I could, but it's hard to give recommendations without knowing price.
I could just point you toward Dents gloves and Begg scarves, and tell you "buy the best!", but that's probably not what you're looking for.
For a decent pair of leather gloves, perhaps check out Nordstrom's in-house cashmere lined gloves. I have a pair made of suede and they're super cozy. They'll run you about $70, but if you can hold out until their after-Christmas sale, they should be cheaper.
For scarves, Johnston's of Elgin often is recommended and there's a bunch of models at Sierra Trading Post. There's a lot of options out there for cashmere scarves, and it's really more or less about how much you want to pay and if you can snag a deal. Put This On did a good primer on scarves.
The one quality bargain find I stumbled across though are scarves made by John Hanly. They've been around since 1893, weaving and making scarves and blankets in Ireland. They're suppliers to the likes of Ralph Lauren's Polo line and Liberty of London.
You can find their scarves for sale here, and extremely reasonable prices. I bought a merino wool one and am very, very happy with it.
As for beanies, Well Spent found these for $9. I have one from L.L.Bean that I'm kind of on the fence about. It's warm, but kind of too small for my head. I feel that knit hats are kind of the sort of thing you have to try on.
This isn't something I'd say I'm an expert in, but I'll give you a few pointers.
The first is to read whatever copy is available. If you see something saying it's made of "polished" leather or "corrected grain" leather, then avoid it. Put This On has a good primer on the difference between these subpar leathers and full-grain leathers.
For shoes, I think it's best to just do your initial research on the brand and line. Often, when buying new, a decent pair of shoes made of decent leather will start at around $300 and up — provided these aren't "designer" pairs. You can do plenty of research on StyleForum.
Typically though, the best thing you can do is try to get hands-on experience with some of the nicer stuff so that you can compare the quality to lesser stuff. I was at Saks yesterday and it was really easy to tell the difference between the Edward Greens and the To Boot New York shoes — not just in construction, but also of the quality of leather used.
When it comes to stuff like wallets or belts, I'm admittedly less adept. Ofter though, I think if you can get your hands on the leather and feel it, you should be able to go with your gut on the quality. Still, you should be able to seek out belts and wallets from those who make them with well-known leathers, like those that come from the Horween tannery.
I wish I could give you more solid tips and thorough checklists to go on, but this isn't exactly my wheelhouse.
The sleeves could appear long to you for several reasons:
Regardless, a decent tailor should be able to make the necessary alterations for you.
Not offhand, but if anyone here is from Dallas please speak up!
I think you either have to buy two non-irons or two must-irons for the discount to work. Either way, you could just call up Brooks Brothers and place a phone order, too.
I can't say I'd try to match my shirt to my trousers in pattern. I'd generally prefer to contrast than match when it comes to pattern types.
Quickly put: great fabric, great fit (needs slight tapering in chest, let the sleeves out a bit for my arms), super lightweight. If you can afford it, then get it. Going to be a go-to for summer for me.
A more full review when I have time (maybe I'll do it over Thanksgiving break).
I try not to go too overboard on patterns myself. The key with "odd trousers" is to treat them like you would an "odd jacket": pair them with a solid.
So, just as your odd jacket would be paired with a pair of solid trousers, put your odd trousers with a solid jacket.
It's what I'd call a traditional spread collar. It's not a cutaway collar.

ADDING: prodigal-punk replied:
Okay. Those were the ones I was looking at, but wasn't sure if the Supima gave them a different texture like the non-iron shirts have. Thank you, sir.
Yes, the Supima cloth has a different texture than the other shirts. It's heavier and thicker, but it feels really great after a few washes.
RE: Brooks Brothers ESF dress shirts
Non-iron: True to size.
Iron: True to size.
OCBDs: Sleeves tend to shrink a lot on the white shirts, so I'd maybe size up one in the sleeve. I sized down though in the ecru and university stripe ones. Went TTS on the blue and pink ones.
I haven't had collar issues, personally.
For the person asking about raincoats (or anyone wondering). Thanks, anon!
Being a scrawny guy, if it came in the tailored fit, I would've probably bought it during the last round of sales.
With it being a traditional fit though, I've convinced myself it's not something to deal with.
Your mileage may vary.
Probably, but I'd read the copywriting first. I'm sure they work to a certain point (i.e.: not a hurricane). I've seen umbrellas with cotton canopies before.
I feel your pain. I think the lesson here is "don't spend your clothing budget until November".
I got really lucky. My old job used to require that I travel to Springfield, Ill., which is the state capital and there's a lot of government bureaucrats and other suit-wearing professionals who live and work there.
So, a lot of stuff makes its way over to the Salvation Army (or gets dropped off by out-of-town people who drive by the donation area on the way in/out of town, which is right off the highway into the city) and I would just just plunder that weekly for about five months.
That'd be my tip: find a location that tends to get a high-volume of suits and yet isn't picked over. There's not a big thrifting "scene" in Springfield as there is in comparison to Chicago, where hipsters raid thrift stores for stuff to put up on their Etsy shops. Plus, an entire generation of bureaucrats died off and had their stuff donated away — most of it from the 50s and 60s, where the lapels weren't absurdly huge.
As with all things, you just have to make sure that you nail the shoulder width, the jacket length and generally don't have it too large in the waist area. The sides can always be tapered and you can usually let out or take in at the cuffs without much difficulty. Sometimes you'll strike out, but at least you'll only be out a few bucks.

in my late teens my "hair-burner" older sister did a nun's coif weekly. a nun? they became friendly. we thought, eww, a nun, having her hair did. we'd gone to a CSC catholic school and never saw a nun's hair — there were white crowns and paper halos all around. this nun, she was foreign, this "sister r."
our mother had divorced by then, raising 5 chilluns alone and was being ostracized for doing just that by the very church she had grown up loving. (she was the only true catholic in the family.) she divorced to save us kids from an abusive, alcoholic father. she did the right thing as hard as that was at that time.
older sister brought sister r. by the house for us all to meet.
sister r. didn't wear a habit — she wore tasteful street clothes with a simple cross necklace. sister r. had her hair did, stylishly. sister r. drank wine. she was inquisitive and interested in all of our stoies. she'd play softball with us. she kept us enthralled in a very conversational, easy way. sister r. did pastoral counseling in hospice care.
sister r. became a family friend, esp to mom, who needed spiritual support more than us pot-smoking teenagers for fucking sure. she still believed in the church.
sister r. entertained us in our time together. she didn't pull punchs. we we asked questions about god, her faith, family, home and about sexuality. she was open, inclusive, radical even. non-judgmental.
even thought we didn't realize it, she was a great ambassador but not a zealot for faith. she talked of god's love, grace, good deeds when asked. she became a counselor, friend and confidant over time.
sister r. developed cancer and died quickly. we missed her something awful. mom eventually started going to a methodist church with her best friend. she never went back to the catholic church, and didn't care if any of us ever did either.
this story of inclusion and grace is a new and worthy model, though 40 yrs old, for the next catholic church.
