I originally purchased this through an in flight magazine because I was attracted to the simplicity of the capsule shaped bottle, I am consistently drawn to undernotes of vanilla, which this has,. 212Vip by Carolina Herrera is innocent and sexy at the same time. I wish there were purse sizes since the bottle is heavy and awkward.

A fascinating, mountainous and remarkable beautiful island, flores has a volcanic topography that has longed shaped its destiny. A chain of cones stretches the length of this verdant island, provoking a complicated relief of V-shaped valeys and knife-edge ridges-terrain that was near- impenatrable until recent years and that has separated the island into many distinct ethnic groups. Flores is Portuguese for "flowers", located in east of Sumbawa and Komodo and in...

JOHNSONBURG – Now in its third year, the Blast in the Burg III drum and bugle corps competition is sure to be another hit with area spectators. This year's show is slated for Tuesday, July 31 at 6 p.m. at Memorial Field in Johnsonburg.
"Due to overwhelming support, there will indeed be a Blast in the Burg III," said organizer Terry Feronti of Johnsonburg.
Dr. David Quinn Steele, age 85, of Glen Hazel Road in Wilcox, died Wednesday, June 27, 2012 at U.P.M.C.-Presbyterian Hospital in Pittsburgh.
He was born Oct. 20, 1926 in Pittsburgh to Dr. Paul B. and Anne McNeill Steele.
On May 2, 1958, he married Lorraine "Lorry" Harrison, she survives.
He attended the Awakening Alliance Church in Ridgway. Dr. Steele was an avid sportsman and enjoyed many outdoor activities, including hunting, canoeing, skiing and hiking and traveling. He also loved hockey and football. He was an avid reader and a strong Christian man who was very generous and humble.
Surviving final-inning rallies is becoming a habit for the Ridgway minor league baseball all-stars.
One more victory will equal a District 10 North Division championship.
Ridgway survived a furious 6-run rally from Bradford in the bottom of the sixth inning for a 9-7 victory Friday night at the Ridgway Little League fields along Grant Road.
Ridgway will play the winner of the Warren Americans/Bradford game on Tuesday at 6 p.m. with the site to be determined.
Firefighters responded Thursday morning at approximately 9 a.m. for a fire at the Old Johnsonburg Hotel along East Center Street.
Firefighters and observers reported seeing smoke coming out of the second and third floor windows.
There were no reported injuries and the small fire was extinguished in roughly 15 minutes.
As an abandoned building, all utilities are shut off and no one has resided in the building for years.
Bob Dickey, chief of the Johnsonburg Fire Department, reported to WJAC-TV that the lack of utilities is a "very good indication that [the fire] was intentionally set."
Local writers Geraldine "Gerri" Bianchi Wolfe and the late Clark Hawkins teamed up to write a new book, "Through the Window," which offers a diverse collection of short stories of the past and present, many of which are inspired by true life-events and set in northwestern Pennsylvania.
The 100-page book offers 11 short stories, including an introduction, an in memoriam, commentary, brief author biographies and local photos, most of which were provided by Hawkins.
Officials at the North Central Pennsylvania Regional Planning and Development Commission [NCPRPDC] have been closely watching recent U.S. Senate and House activity.
The Senate recently postponed consideration of the FY13 Commerce-Justice-Science Appropriations bill until possibly the middle of July; Senate leaders originally anticipated to debate the annual spending bill this month, according to North Central Executive Director Eric Bridges.
A week ago, the House voted to instruct conferees to the House-Senate negotiations on the highway bill to finish their work by Friday, June 22.
At Tuesday's Elk County Solid Waste Authority meeting, Recycling/Solid Waste Coordinator Bekki Titchner said she will be participating in a conference call this week with the PA Recycling Markets Center to continue with steps to enable PET (polyethylene terephthalate) thermoform plastic recycling through a pilot project. The center in Elk County is receiving funding through a national grant and is the only rurally located facility involved in the project.
JOHNSONBURG – Johnsonburg resident and founder of the Elk County Tea Party Blaise Dornisch attended the Johnsonburg Area School District Board of Directors meeting to speak out on mandates imposed by the federal government.
WILCOX – Cole Peterson made the start on the mound Wednesday for Wilcox in American Legion baseball against Fox Township and stole the show with not only a complete game 5-2 win but also a perfect 4 for 4 showing at the plate.
Peterson struck out nine batters on the night while working out of trouble with runners in scoring position four times.
The Ridgway minor league softball all-stars hosted Warren on Wednesday night with Warren winning 10-0 in four innings at the Ridgway Little League fields along Grant Road.
Warren starting pitcher Julia Lobdell was a dominant force on the mound as she finished with 11 strikeouts and three walks without surrendering a hit in her four innings pitched.

Obama's drone bombings have killed more innocent people than so called "assault weapons" in just one year alone. Than probably the last tens years or more in this country. People and countries that have nothing to do with 9-11 at all. Don't give me this BS of how we should give up yet another constitutional right. While you support a clear unconstitutional act by the president that has killed countless civilians. At least be consistant with your BS.
Now, the last time I looked the country was attacked on a certain date that will live in infamy. That day a war began. During a war, certain things happen that would not normally occur during a time of peace. Now, you can sit there on your ass thinking that there is no war and everything is peachy, and in that case I would agree with you about me been a hypocrite. I, on the other hand, want that terrorist organization wiped out as i believe it is a war. Is there collateral damage? Yes. Is it regretful? Of course.
Now, i will say you would be right about me if i believed there was no war. But I do and I would hope you have enough brain cells to understand my responses about both issues.
Pakistan had nothing to do with 9-11? The main sponsors of the Taliban who support the terrorists and they had nothing to do with it? Next you will be telling me that Osama was living right next to a Pakistani army base and they knew nothing about it? What a fool. God help us if we had people like you in government. You keep posting your conspiracy theories. Hell you might get lucky once in a while with one that's real.
Ahh is the little spoilt baby getting into his, you're a fake, not real routine. Go back to your crib and let the adults do their jobs.

Places, People, Stories
Just over a year ago, Linnaeus University held the international and interdisciplinary conference "Places, People, Stories" at Kalmar, Sweden. The conference homepage with the full programme and other information is still available at
Now two free conference documentations have been published.
Places, People, Stories - The Comic, by Mats Brate and Petter Hanberger - http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:lnu:diva-21778 (press "fulltext" for a pdf file, 55 MB) - http://lnu.se/about-lnu/conferences/places-people-stories-2011/places-people-stories---the-comic?l=en
(read online) Places, People, Stories - The Film, by Staffan Lindqvist och Johanna Karlin - http://youtu.be/Y2xkwwPEUQ8
Both the comic and the film are not only documenting the conference but, as you will notice, they also make their own original contribution to the topic of the conference by using artistic means to explore the relations between places, people and stories.

Voyager 2
Dr Alice Gorman (Flinders University and Australian Cultural Heritage Management Pty Ltd) recently conducted an interview with the Voyager 2 spacecraft (in collaboration with Dr Paul Filmer of the National Science Foundation). Voyager 2 was launched in 1977 by the USA, and is currently approaching the edge of the Solar System. The interview was an exercise in exploring the cultural values of a spacecraft. As Voyager 2 said, "... no other spacecraft have tasted and bathed in the outer reaches of our solar system as Voyager 1 and I have. Without us, scientists could only speculate what it is like out here. I like to think of our greatest achievement as simply laying down a path that others could follow; after all, we are the very first functioning human-made objects to venture this far out from the Sun, and into inter-stellar space!"

The Underwater Cultural Heritage in Vietnam project
To date the preservation and protection of underwater cultural heritage in Vietnam has had a low priority. There has been little or no formal teaching of maritime archaeology at universities in Vietnam and only a few government archaeologists have received any training in this subject area primarily by going overseas. Professor Tong Trung Tin, Director of the Vietnam Institute of Archaeology, recently expressed his concern about capabilities to conduct serious research on shipwrecks due to a lack of funding, human resources and equipment at an annual workshop of the archaeological sector held in Hanoi. The full story can be seen here:
One example of the problems faced by underwater cultural heritage in Vietnam is exemplified by a 14th century shipwreck that was found in the waters of Binh Chau Commune (Binh Son District) in Quang Ngai province in September 2012. Vietnam News has reported that " The latest ship was ... discovered ... by local fishermen, who ... stole various objects from the wreck to sell". See: http://vietnamnews.vnagency.com.vn/Life-Style/230375/quang-ngai-to-protect-antiques-from-shipwreck.html
and: http://vietnamnews.vnagency.com.vn/social-issues/229912/police-to-stop-theft-of-shipwreck-antiques.html
Researcher Pham Quoc Quan, former director of the National History Museum of Vietnam, stated that experts had confirmed the recent shipwreck found in Quang Ngai dated back to the 14th century, but experts had been unable to explore the ship due to a lack of proper human resources and equipment. Experts also said that the ship contained various ceramic wares made in China during the 14th and 15th centuries, and coins from the 12th and 13th centuries had also been found. See:
The Underwater Cultural Heritage in Vietnam project will offer internationally recognized Nautical Archaeology Society (NAS) training in Vietnam starting in November 2012. This project is designed to increase awareness at local, provincial and national levels about the extent and nature of Vietnam's underwater and maritime cultural heritage. It will help Vietnam to preserve and protect its underwater cultural heritage and makes use of the innovative crowd-funding website CommonSites to help fund the training see: http://www.commonsites.net/
NAS training will be provided free of charge to Vietnamese students, government agency personnel, archaeologists and others in order to raise awareness about underwater cultural heritage and maritime archaeology in Vietnam. The NAS Introduction Course is a single day of training introducing participants to the subject of underwater cultural heritage and maritime archaeology. As well as an introduction to the basic principles of archaeology, the Course will also introduce the range of sites which can be covered under the title 'nautical' or 'maritime' archaeology - it is not just shipwrecks and it is certainly not all underwater. The NAS Part I Certificate is held over 2 days and builds on the knowledge and skills learnt during the NAS Introduction Course. The Certificate course will look at issues such as project planning 2D and 3D survey techniques, logistics, search and survey methods, and dealing with maritime archaeological finds through the use of case studies and examples see: http://www.nauticalarchaeologysociety.org/training/index.php
NAS training will be conducted at the Institute of Archaeology building in Hanoi mainly by members of the Bach Dang Battlefield Research group that has been working in Vietnam, in collaboration with the Vietnamese Institute of Archaeology (IA), for the last four years. The Bach Dang Battlefield Research group brings together a team from Vietnam, Australia, USA, Canada and Japan. This training project will capitalize on the presence in Vietnam of qualified and experienced maritime archaeologists on an annual basis for the Bach Dang Battlefield Research project. The training team includes Dr. Jun Kimura from the Asia Research Centre at Murdoch University, Dr Le Thi Lien from the Institute of Archaeology in Hanoi, Duong Bich Hanh from the UNESCO office in Hanoi and the Professor Mark Staniforth from Monash University, amongst others.
There is growing interest in the project and over 200 people have already joined the Underwater Cultural Heritage in Vietnam cause page on Facebook see: http://www.causes.com/causes/794053-underwater-cultural-heritage-in-vietnam
On 1 October 2012 Radio Australia's Liam Cochrane conducted a six-minute interview with cause founder Mark Staniforth on Radio Australia's current affairs program, Connect Asia that can be heard at: http://www.radioaustralia.net.au/international/radio/program/connect-asia/project-to-preserve-vietnams-underwater-heritage/1023208

Archaeology and History of Buddhist Shrines turned Hindu Temple in India
This project was initiated in the Saurashtra region of the Gujurat State in western India as the first steps to trace the presence and distribution of Buddhist culture during from the 2nd to 6th Centuries AD, as well as unraveling the mystery of complete eradication of this prime culture by the 7th century AD. We plan to examine all the major sites concerned with the spread of Buddhism in this region and its disappearance, along with nature of the eventual conversion of Buddhist shrines into Hindu temples and the consequent preservation of these sites from 7th century to the present. The first of these sites to be investigated is discussed in the following article.
History of Buddhist Religion in Saurashtra
Ranpur Dhingeshwar Temple: An Ancient Sangharam & Stupa
Carved out of limestone, the caves of Ranpur are the remains of the Buddha Chaitya-Vihara (Buddhist temple prayer hall enclosing a stupa). The present temple of Dhingeshwar Mahadev was originally a worship place of the Hinyan Buddha cult. In the local language 'Dhing' maybe translated into 'big' and the stupa was interpreted as the Shiv Ling sacred mountain by the local inhabitants. This stupa would have been worshipped during the period covering the 2nd Century BC to the 2nd Century AD.
Original Buddhist stupa, now in worship as Hindu Shiva Linga
Before the temple on the right side is a cave that may be the remains of a buddha vihar – a Buddhist centre or dwelling for religious work. This place would also have been a thriving sangharam, but has long since given way to its use by Brahmin sect, with a transformation in the worshipping practices from that of a Buddhist stupa to Hindu Shiva Linga.
The caves in the Barada Hills area are also carved from limestone, and were likely to have been a part of the Buddha Chaitya Vihara. These cave 'architectures' have also been found in the Sana, Talaja and Junagadh areas of the Saurashtra region. However, the sangharam caves of Ranpur are considerably smaller in their dimensions than those in the Barada Hills, measuring only approximately 55' by 11'.
An example of a sangharam cave at Ranpur
Few of the caves have survived, with some having been converted into small quarries or mines and others having suffered collapse. However, a cluster of three caves has been surveyed at Ranpur during the project, each carved to equal dimensions (entrance: 9'6" by 8', with a ceiling height of 6'; inner hall: 20' by 20'). Two of the caves share a corridor, with a second corridor providing access to the third cave, although all three caves are eventually connected by an inner junction. Situated at the right is a water drainage system; a small platform (10' by 4') provides a seating arrangement for the monks, and the middle hall (18' by 11') would have been a gathering point for devotees. A small low door and side window provides entry to the hall, and is a feature noted for other Hinayan Viharas elsewhere, notably the Sana and Jamka sites. Today, however, a Hindu bull image (Nandi) is positioned in the hall, and a small passage to the right contains an idol of Vishnu.
Plan of one of a sangharam cave system at Ranpur
Together these are providing evidence for the early spread of Dharma to the far western side of India with accompanying settlement for Buddhist monks. The sangharam and vihars would have been filled with monks and followers, and the stupa chaitya would have witnessed flair of worship with the surrounding area filled with sacred stotras and prayers. However by the eighth century AD all this vanished. However, between the damaged architecture and buried caves there are glimpses of a royal past and continued reverence.

Late Prehistoric Florida: Archaeology at the Edge of the Mississippian World. Edited by Keith Ashley and Nancy Marie White, University Press of Florida
This new book describes the native cultures in Florida right before the sixteenth-century invasion from Europe, Late Prehistoric Florida. It features contributions from prominent researchers who synthesize the latest data from excavations. As the "Viva Florida" celebration in 2013 marks the 500th anniversary of the Spanish entrada, this book reveals a diverse and vibrant collection of cleared-field maize farmers, part-time gardeners, hunter-gatherers, and coastal and riverine fisher-shellfish collectors who formed a distinctive part of the Mississippi-Period Southeast before they were forever changed or became extinct.

La Arqueología Social Latinoamericana. De la teoría a la práctica. Edited by Henry Tantalean y Miguel Aguilar Díaz. Universidad de los Andes, Censtro de Estudios Socioculturales, Bogotá.
This book is a compilation of papers from different authors which debates about the "social archaeology", an archaeological theory which has its Latin American expression from the seventies. Starting from a balance, a critical perspective and different kind of theoretical and practical proposals of doing archaeology within a social and political activist context, this work constitute one of the most important perspectives about the academic, scientific and political practice of archeology from countries considered as the "periphery" in the production of knowledge. Also, this book is a complete synthesis of the Latin America Marxist archaeology and its very useful for didactical purposes, as well as it can be interesting for people who practice this was of doing archaeology in the (third) world or the global south.
El libro es una compilación de textos de autores en torno a la denominada "arqueología social", una teoría arqueológica de trascendencia mundial que tuvo su expresión latinoamericana desde la década del 70. Partiendo de un balance, una crítica y diferentes propuestas teóricas y prácticas de hacer arqueología en un contexto social y político activo, constituye una de las más importantes perspectivas en torno a la práctica científica, académica y política de la arqueología desde países considerados como la periferia en la producción del conocimiento. El libro también es una completa síntesis de la arqueología marxista latinoamericana y puede servir propósitos didácticos e interesar a quienes practican esa forma de hacer arqueología en el (tercer) mundo o el sur global.

'An insider's view of an alternative archaeology' by Michael A Cremo, in From Archaeology to Archaeologies: The 'Other' Past. Edited by Anna Simandiraki-Grimshaw and Eleni Stefanou. British Archaeological Reports S2409 (Oxford).
From the publisher: "The idea for this volume emerged from critical self-reflection about diverse archaeological practices in a session presented at the 13th European Association of Archaeologists Annual Meeting (Zadar, Croatia, 2007), in particular the conflicting relationship between the 'mainstream' and the 'alternative'." Michael's paper explores the nature of, and responses to, his Vedic alternative perspective on archaeological evidence for human origins and antiquity.

5b. Forthcoming conferences and sessions
25th-29th November 2012
Museums have always operated in times of change, yet the challenges and pace of change over the last five years has been unprecedented. Globalisation, environmental issues and climate change, relationships with Indigenous and creator communities, diversity of audiences, different employee mindsets, new skill sets, new media and technologies and the global financial crisis, have placed increasing pressure on the ways museums are managed and led. The conference will address these issues using a mix of conference/meeting formats designed to encourage conversation, learning, intellectual stimulation and exchange of ideas. INTERCOM 2012 is proudly supported by the Australian Museum and Sydney University Museum Studies.
Please follow the link to see further details and the conference program:
1st December 2012
Since the adoption of the World Heritage Convention in 1972, the perception of what constitutes 'heritage' has undergone dramatic change, including a widening of the definition to include both the 'great' and the 'ordinary', tangible and intangible forms of heritage, and even cultural diversity itself. The Convention has been central to debates which have transformed our understanding of what heritage is and does in contemporary global societies.
This one day conference is jointly organised by ICOMOS-UK, The Open University, UCL Centre for Museums, Heritage and Material Culture and the Institute of Archaeology, University College London. It marks the 40th anniversary of the World Heritage Convention by looking to the future of World Heritage in the UK and beyond. The conference brings together government representatives, policy makers, academics, heritage site managers and interested members of the public to discuss the role of World Heritage in the UK in the coming decades.
28th March 2013
Organised by the City of Strasbourg and the Association of the French World Heritage Sites, this conference will focus on exchange and dialogue on the theme of shared heritage and the situations in which it is possible to combine multiple heritage memberships. In particular, what are the current and potential roles of institutions and organisations such as UNESCO, Council of Europe, European Union, or NGOs in situations through which they join and participate in the protection of the heritage?
Core themes: (1) The construction and management of heritage across borders; (2) Heritage as built from multicultural references; (3) How to share a plural inheritance? (4) How do we appropriate a heritage built by the other one? (4) Sharing heritage and stakes of appropriation; (5) How is Outstanding Universal Value shared by all?

Borders - Margins - Fringes: Archaeologies On/From the Edge (XIII Nordic TAG)
University of Iceland, Reykjavik
The Nordic TAG has through the years become an important event in reinforcing the reunion of Nordic colleagues strengthening the special characteristics of the inner Nordic discourse and partnership. It has proven to be an effective platform for young promising Nordic scholars in its aim of opening up Nordic scholarship, both in its variety and unity, to a broad international audience. The West-Nordic area is marginally located in multifarious aspects. A reorientation of perspective makes Iceland, however, an interestingly central node for an academic meeting of scholars from Scandinavia, continental Europe, Britain and North-America, where they can join in and/or contribute to the Nordic debate engaging in cutting edge discussions about the controversies and the ambiguities of Borders, Margins and Fringes.
The conference is now open for the submission of sessions. The deadline has been prolonged until 10 January 2013.

Stories Written In Stone: International Symposium on Chert and Other Knappable Materials (5th Arheoinvest Symposium)
Iasi, Romania
As far as raw materials go, chert and other knappable stone stand out as some of the most common materials in the archaeological record, and in fact in early prehistory, often the only preserved material. They were used in almost every corner of the world, from the Palaeolithic up until today. Use of these materials even predates the appearance of our own species. This conference will cover all aspects of knapped stone raw materials from geological origin, to mining, usage, and laboratory analyses on these materials. Papers will be accepted on any culture or time period. Whether you are a field archaeologist, laboratory researcher, ethnographer or a modern day knapper yourself, we are interested in your research.
For more information, please visit the event's webpage at:
20th-26th September 2013

Auschwitz Jewish Center Fellows Program
The AJC Fellows Program is a three week study trip for students who are matriculated in graduate programs or are completing undergraduate degrees in 2013 in Holocaust studies and related fields. Students of all faiths and ethnicities with an interest in Holocaust studies, Jewish Studies, Polish-Jewish history, memory, or human rights are strongly encouraged to apply. All program costs, including international travel, lodging, room and board, and materials, are covered.
Since 2000, the AJC Fellows Program has provided a unique educational opportunity to learn about the Holocaust in situ in the context of Poland's history and Jewish heritage. It is the goal of the Auschwitz Jewish Center Fellows Program that Fellows gain not only knowledge of the Holocaust sites they visit, but also an understanding of the legacy of the Holocaust in Poland, its effects on collective memory, and complexities surrounding such categories as victim, bystander, and perpetrator. After a brief orientation in New York City, the Fellows travel in Poland for three weeks, during which time they visit Krakow, Warsaw, Lódź, Treblinka, and Oświęcim (Auschwitz). The Fellows travel to small towns in the regions surrounding Warsaw and Krakow, as well as through south-eastern Poland and north-eastern Slovakia, to explore the area's rich Jewish heritage and meet with local leaders to learn about pre-war Jewish life, life under the Nazi occupation and Communism, and the state of Jewish communities and memory in Poland today.
In Oświęcim, the Fellows attend an intensive program at the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum where they tour the camps, study the history of Jewish, Roma, and Polish inmates, and take part in workshops with Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum staff on the collections and education departments. While in Oswiecim, the Fellows may have the opportunity to meet European students and observe educational workshops at the Auschwitz Jewish Center.
Upon returning home, each Fellow will complete an article for the Auschwitz Jewish Center ENewsletter and an essay reflecting on his or her experience.

The Sun reports that soul-pop sensation Adele is looking to incorporate country and bluegrass music into her next album, and plans spend time in Nashville to get inspired:
Adele said: "I was exposed to a lot of country, rockabilly and bluegrass because I was touring for such a long time.
"The melodies and to-the-point lyrics I have found in a lot of American styles of music is definitely something I'm going be pursuing heavily from now on. I want to spend some time in Austin in Texas and Nashville, Tennessee, and learn about it."
Adele's dipped her toes into country territory before: she sang a duet with Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles at the 2009 Grammys, and that same year, she talked to us about how country/bluegrass could influence her future work.
"It's mainly Alison Krauss," she said. "I love her voice. I just think the melodies in country, bluegrass, gospel and blues are the best ever. It's not like all of a sudden, I'm going to come out with some proper country record, because that would be the biggest lie ever, but the melodies are something I'm certainly trying to incorporate into my new stuff. The heartache, as well. Lyrically, it reminds me of jazz and blues. I don't know what it is, I just love it."
She'll have a prime chance to flaunt her country leanings when she plays a sold-out show at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium on October 10.

Interpretive Handbook
81090 :
C3 Complement, Functional, Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Complement proteins are components of the innate immune system. There are 3 pathways to complement activation: 1) the classic pathway, 2) the alternative (or properdin) pathway, and 3) the lectin activation (mannan-binding protein [MBP]) pathway. The classic pathway of the complement system is composed of a series of proteins that are activated in response to the presence of immune complexes. The activation process results in the generation of peptides that are chemotactic for neutrophils and that bind to immune complexes and complement receptors. The end result of the complement activation cascade is the formation of the lytic membrane attack complex (MAC).
The absence of early components (C1-C4) of the complement cascade results in the inability of immune complexes to activate the cascade. Patients with deficiencies of the early complement proteins are unable to clear immune complexes or to generate lytic activity. These patients have increased susceptibility to infections with encapsulated microorganisms. They may also have symptoms that suggest autoimmune disease and complement deficiency may be an etiologic factor in the development of autoimmune disease.
C3 is at the entry point for all 3 activation pathways to activate the MAC. C3 deficiency may result in pneumococcal and neisserial infections as well as autoimmune diseases such as glomerulonephritis.
Complement levels can be detected by antigen assays that quantitate the amount of the protein (C3 / Complement C3, Serum). For most of the complement proteins, a small number of cases have been described in which the protein is present but is non functional. These rare cases require a functional assay to detect the deficiency.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Diagnosis of C3 deficiency
Investigation of a patient with undetectable total complement (CH50) level
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Low levels of complement may be due to inherited deficiencies, acquired deficiencies, or due to complement consumption (eg, as a consequence of infectious or autoimmune processes).
Absent C3 levels in the presence of other normal complement values are consistent with a C3 deficiency.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
The total complement (CH50) assay (COM / Complement, Total, Serum) should be used as a screen for suspected complement deficiencies before ordering individual complement component assays. A deficiency of an individual component of the complement cascade will result in an undetectable total complement level.
Absent (or low) C3 functional levels in the presence of normal C3 antigen levels should be replicated with a new serum specimen to confirm that C3 inactivation did not occur during shipping.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

|The Hills Are Alive With the Sound of ...
... internal combustion engines.
Two big car shows are going on this weekend here in northern Vermont:
the British Invasion in Stowe and the Northeast Street Rods Nationals near
The British Invasion is open to any British made car or motorcycle from
old classics to modern cars. It's a concours event so you will see the best
original or restored vehicles - there's not a rust spot or dent in this
crowd. You can find the British Invasion at the Stowe Events Field on
Weeks Hill Road across the street from the Swimming Hole indoor pool.
The National Street Rod Association meet is being held
at the Champlain Valley Expo in Essex Junction VT.
I've been to both events and I am happy to report that they attract many
hundreds of cars and they're both top quality shows.
The weather forecast is for great weather so put the top down and drive
on over.

|Megapickles Vermont Photo Blog
I've written previously about how much I enjoy Megapickles, a daily photo blog by John Hughes, a professor at Saint Michael's. The Vermont landscapes and architectural photographs are well done and fortunately they make up the bulk of John's work. If you want to see what Vermont look like to a superb photographer, this is where you can find what you're looking for. The photo shown in the screen capture above is a good example. The reduced size here takes much away from how striking this photo is so please click the link and see the original. In fact, I suggest you go to the Megapickles website and see especially the photos posted between Sept 4 and Sept 11.
When I visit John's photo blog I'm reminded that there are many beautiful places all around the world and I'm fortunate to live in one of them.

|Book Review: "How To Survive the Recession, A Vermont Perspective"
"How to Survive the Recession - A Vermont Perspective" by Bob Stannard:
A fun read by Manchester Vermont resident Bob Stannard made up from some newspaper columns he wrote in recent years plus new material especially for this book. Bob figured he could help his country in this time of trial and tribulation by explaining how Vermonters get up every morning (well, most mornings), pull on their boots, and go about the task of wrestling with the bear (i.e., living).
Bob sketches the characters (and I mean characters in every sense of the word) he has met and events he has witnessed or instigated, and uses these vignettes to show how Vermonters deal with the challenges and rewards of life.
The book in written in a conversational voice thankfully lacking in pretense. If you stopped by Bob's house, sat down with him in front of his fireplace and asked him what it's like to live in Vermont, this book would be his response. It's a very easy and quick read.
For the most part he does not stray too far into being preachy. He often just presents people and events and then lets you draw the conclusion. For instance, he enthusiastically veers into talking about playing serious blues harmonica ("harp") with the likes of B.B. King. He relates the stories King tells of losing a profitable gig to another blues performer and how his early manager cheated him. Yet King remains non bitter, even grateful for the experience and cherishes what these men did for him rather than what they did to him. That's how to live a full and happy life.

|Vermont Waterfalls Website
www.vtfalls.com website
I don't know why we all love waterfalls. Perhaps we've never seen a bad one. We've seen other bodies of water look bad such as muddy streams, filthy rivers, scummy ponds, and polluted lakes. But not a waterfall. If somebody did something to pollute one, it would get flushed out quickly.
Perhaps it's "The Sound and The Fury" as Faulkner would describe a big waterfall. Or the speed. Some of them are like roller coasters after all and many of us would like the exhilaration of riding one like that. Waterfalls look like fun!
Whatever the reason, it's always to thrill to see one, especially a big one. Vermont has many waterfalls due to our steep terrain and frequent precipitation year around. A good source of information on waterfalls is www.vtfalls.com, a website run by photographer Chris Hungerford.
Chris is a full time science teacher and part time photographer living in St. Albans VT who specializes in outdoor photography. He has photographed and filmed many Vermont "waterfalls, cascades, glens, rapids, gorges, and many other natural wonders" as he says on his waterfalls website. He also has a website for his other photography that you can see here and on Facebook and Twitter.
The listing of waterfalls by name, height and nearby town is helpful but the VTfalls website does not tell you exactly where the falls are. You could end up spending a lot of time looking for them. While that can be fun in itself. it would be more enjoyable if you knew you were at least on the right track.
One solution is to stop in the nearby towns mentioned in the list and simply ask someone there. All the locals will know where their nearby waterfall is. Another solution is to purchase the book, "New England Waterfalls" by Greg Parsons and Kate B. Watson. It's an excellent guide and has driving directions.
If you are visiting in summer and are interested in swimming holes, you could combine it with your waterfall search because some of the falls end up in a pool suitable for swimming. The best source for swimming hole information is SwimmingHoles.info/VT and see my August 7, 2007 Vermont Travel Notes blog entry and the August 18, 2008 Waymark.com blog entry.
NOTE: the usual cautions about venturing outdoors apply. If you are walking, hiking, swimming or just messin' around near rock cliffs, deep pools of water, and fast moving rivers, there can be some danger involved. Don't assume that if the locals are doing something goofy that it must be safe. It's not - it is both goofy AND dangerous. Decide for yourself how much of a chance you are willing to take. For years there was a sign at Moss Glen Falls, between Warren and Granville, recording the dates and details of the deaths and paralyzing injuries of daredevils that took place there. The falls are beautiful but they are like a lot in nature: lack of sense can get you knocked even more senseless.

Recombinant protein expression in bacteria is a simple, yet time-consuming process. Typically cells are grown overnight to stationary phase, diluted and grown to an optimal density, then induced. To simplify this process, we took advantage of the tight regulation of protein expression by glucose and rhamnose in the KRX strain of E. coli. We developed an autoinduction protocol that eliminates the need for culture density monitoring and a separate induction step. We describe early and late autoinduction protocols in LB medium and demonstrate autoinduced expression of three different proteins.

The Joint Strike Fighter began the integration phase of weapons testing Oct. 26 when the F-35A Conventional Takeoff and Landing (CTOL) aircraft successfully completed the first in-flight test with an AIM-120 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile.
It was the first time a weapon communicated with the aircraft during flight using a data link.
The program's milestone rounded out a successful month of flight test, which also included inert weapons separation tests of both the AMRAAM and Joint Direct Attack Munition.
"In October, we were able to begin weapons separation testing with the JDAM and AMRAAM. We proved we can carry them safely and that the shapes, which matched the exact mass properties of the real weapons, could separate from the aircraft safely. Now, with the integration testing, we've initially proved the aircraft can talk to the weapon and that the weapon can talk to the aircraft," said Col. Roderick L. Cregier, 412th Test Wing, F-35 program manager.
Prior to Oct. 26, mass models with no internal electronics were used during all F-35A weapons testing. The AIM-120 AMRAAM used during the integration test contained the same electronics as a full-up missile, but without the rocket motor.
"The program is doing very well meeting its goals after it was rebaselined in 2010, and I'm very proud of the team. Even though the testing was incredibly complex and difficult; their hard work enabled it to happen relatively smoothly without any serious glitches that would delay the program. We just pressed right on through, and we're ready for the next phase," said Cregier.
Successful integration testing, along with the safe separation releases in October means that the F-35 Integrated Test Force can continue progressing towards the weapon delivery accuracy test phase and live fire testing scheduled to begin in early 2013.
"This was a very important milestone to get us over that hump, to move on to the next phase of the program, which is going to start very soon. This success was critical, now what we're doing is putting the teeth into the F-35. It's important that the jet can meet all the corners of its envelope, but what we're really designing it to do is employ weapons," said Cregier.
"Starting in February and continuing through the end of April, we are anticipating releasing roughly two weapons per week. This is going to be just the beginning of what I would characterize as the most ambitious weapons integration program in the history of tactical aircraft."
The F-35A is designed to carry a payload of up to 18,000 pounds using 10 weapon stations. The F-35A features four internal weapon stations located in two weapon bays to maximum stealth capability. The CTOL aircraft can also utilize an additional three weapon stations per wing if required.

Findings from NASA's Dawn spacecraft reveal new details about the giant asteroid Vesta, including its varied surface composition, sharp temperature changes and clues to its internal structure.
The findings were presented today at the European Geosciences Union meeting in Vienna, Austria and will help scientists better understand the early solar system and processes that dominated its formation.
Spacecraft images, taken 420 miles and 130 miles above the surface of the asteroid, show a variety of surface mineral and rock patterns. Coded false-color images help scientists better understand Vesta's composition and enable them to identify material that was once molten below the asteroid's surface.
Researchers also see breccias, which are rocks fused during impacts from space debris. Many of the materials seen by Dawn are composed of iron- and magnesium-rich minerals, which often are found in Earth's volcanic rocks. Images also reveal smooth pond-like deposits, which might have formed as fine dust created during impacts settled into low regions.
"Dawn now enables us to study the variety of rock mixtures making up Vesta's surface in great detail," said Harald Hiesinger, a Dawn participating scientist at Munster University in Germany. "The images suggest an amazing variety of processes that paint Vesta's surface."
At the Tarpeia crater near the south pole of the asteroid, Dawn revealed bands of minerals that appear as brilliant layers on the crater's steep slopes. The exposed layering allows scientists to see farther back into the geological history of the giant asteroid.
The layers closer to the surface bear evidence of contamination from space rocks bombarding Vesta's surface. Layers below preserve more of their original characteristics. Frequent landslides on the slopes of the craters also have revealed other hidden mineral patterns.
"These results from Dawn suggest Vesta's 'skin' is constantly renewing," said Maria Cristina De Sanctis, lead of the visible and infrared mapping spectrometer team based at Italy's National Institute for Astrophysics in Rome.
Dawn has given scientists a near 3-D view into Vesta's internal structure. By making ultrasensitive measurements of the asteroid's gravitational tug on the spacecraft, Dawn can detect unusual densities within its outer layers. Data now show an anomalous area near Vesta's south pole, suggesting denser material from a lower layer of Vesta has been exposed by the impact that created a feature called the Rheasilvia basin. The lighter, younger layers coating other parts of Vesta's surface have been blasted away in the basin.
Dawn obtained the highest-resolution surface temperature maps of any asteroid visited by a spacecraft. Data reveal temperatures can vary from as warm as minus10 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 23 degrees Celsius) in the sunniest spots to as cold as minus 150 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 100 degrees Celsius) in the shadows. This is the lowest temperature measurable by Dawn. These findings show the surface responds quickly to illumination with no mitigating effect of an atmosphere.
"After more than nine months at Vesta, Dawn's suite of instruments has enabled us to peel back the layers of mystery that have surrounded this giant asteroid since humankind first saw it as just a bright spot in the night sky," said Carol Raymond, Dawn deputy principal investigator at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. "We are closing in on the giant asteroid's secrets."
Launched in 2007, Dawn began its exploration of the approximately 330-mile-wide asteroid in mid-2011. The spacecraft's next assignment will be to study the dwarf planet Ceres in 2015. These two icons of the asteroid belt have been witness to much of our solar system's history.
Dawn's mission is managed by JPL for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington.

EdS in School Systems, Superintendency and Leadership
Schools are facing a critical shortage of administrators. That shortage will continue to increase dramatically as two million of Missouri's 2.6 million administrators are expected to retire in the next five years. To respond to this need, Webster University offers the graduate-level educational specialist degree (Ed.S.) to prepare students for educational leadership positions of tomorrow. It can be earned in 33 credit hours and in two and a half years if you attend one class per term.
Coursework, action research, and internship experiences enable you to develop and demonstrate competencies required to move from a specific focus in teaching, curriculum, or support services in schools to the broader view of the educational leader in the community. The Ed.S. program encourages educators to think outside the box, seek solutions to challenges in schooling, to make the world different, and find the courage to do what is best for all students.
Students in the School Systems Superintendency and Leadership major can work toward a superintendent certificate. After successful completion of state-required assessment activities, students can apply for administrative certification.
Points of Distinction
- Approved by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE), Webster's Ed.S. degree programs provide many opportunities for those who wish to increase their knowledge and skills beyond the master's level.
- Our programs are grounded in the Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium (ISLLC) standards, Educational Leadership Constituent Council (ELCC) standards, Missouri Professors of Education Administration (MPEA), and the National Policy Board for Educational Administration.
- Faculty members are all experienced school administrators and are carefully hand selected for their beliefs and commitment to the philosophy, vision, mission, and goals of the program.
- Small classes of 10-15 students also ensure personal and professional growth.

Hang tight!
Recipe by Star Pooley
"A nice change from your typical tomato sauce! If you're worried about the alcohol, don't be! It cooks off and cannot be tasted. It simply helps to enhance the flavors."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 pound
uncooked penne pasta
1/4 cup
extra virgin olive oil
4 cloves
garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon
crushed red pepper flakes
1 (28 ounce) can
crushed tomatoes
3/4 teaspoon
2 tablespoons
1/2 cup
heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup
chopped fresh parsley
2 (3.5 ounce) links
sweet Italian sausage
I think a good start to any a la vodka sauce is the pancetta. I started this recipe by browning 6 slices of pancetta without any oil and adding the sausage to the drippings, then launched into everything else. I also upped the vodka quantity to 1/4 of a cup and upped the heavy cream to 3/4 of a cup. I completely omitted the salt. I used Contadina crushed tomatos with roasted garlic. The meal was definitely "restaurant quality"
In spite of the good reviews this recipe gets, neither DH nor I was a big fan. Maybe we just don't like vodka sauce. Had only had it once before (the jarred stuff from Trader Joe's), but still wasn't that enthralled with it from scratch. I halved the amount of EVOO; used spicy Italian sausage, so halved the red pepper flakes; also halved the salt based on other reviewers' comments, and halved the amount of pasta for just two of us (still had leftovers). Used fire-roasted crushed tomatoes, and threw in a bit of prosciutto with the sausage for some additional flavor. Served with shredded parmesan and whole wheat sourdough rolls. Thanks for sharing your recipe, Star!

This recipe is top-notch and would rival any Penne a la Vodka that you'd order in an Italian restaurant. I prepared it almost to the letter, and it was perfect. I have also tried this a different way by making it a lowfat dish. I substituted turkey sausage, and instead of heavy cream, I used half and half blended with 1 tsp. of corn starch. It was a fantastic lower fat variation and tasted just as good as the original.
I changed this recipe. 3 tablespoons of white wine instead of vodka, added spinach, tomato sauce and extra red pepper flakes, simmered the sauce 30 minutes and melted parmesean and feta cheese. made for a large group. got rave reviews, tasted just like penne rosa from noodles and company!
I frequently do a sausage pasta with a fresh sauce but never occurred to me to do a vodka cream version. Great! My only alteration is in the pasta choice. Pardon, but I am a particular snob in this area. For a sauce like this one with roll-away chunks, a more appropriate pasta choice is one that snuggles the sauce - in this case I go for an egg noodle or at least the widest fettuccine you can find. Tubed pasta work better on thinner sauces that need a little traveling compartment.
This was good although I have had better sauces but I must say I liked the addition of the sausage. It actually tasted better the next day. I would make it again. The ony thing is I reduced the oil and the salt I felt the amounts given were high.
All the signs of greatness: Tastes really good, is fast and easy, and also pretty darn inexpensive! I went a little easy on the crushed red pepper (it was still nice and spicy), and topped each serving with a little shredded fresh Romano. SERIOUS YUM, especially with a glass of red wine...
I browned the sausage separately and then added it to the sauce. For the sauce I sauteed some onion, used 1/4 c. of vodka, 1 c. of whipping cream, and added some fresh basil. Overall, I think the sauce is better without the sausage.

Saturday Sermon: Over and Above Naturalism, Part 2
Barkley suggests that material creation is not the end of our understanding (as Naturalists think), but a beginning that unveils the majestic and power of a Creator who loves us.

Pete Shaw highlights the story of Noah to explore how the story would have been understood in ancient times and from there he goes on to explore how we might consider it today.
Pete Shaw, the senior pastor of Crosswalk Community Church in Napa California, offers a brief history of the interactions between science and faith in the first segment of his sermon.
In this paper, MIT professor Ian Hutchinson addresses the question of how to engage arguments put forward by the New Atheists. In doing so, he offers a critique of scientism, the assumption that scientific knowledge is all the real knowledge there is.
Many barriers to the acceptance of the BioLogos model by evangelical Christians arise from popular misconceptions about the nature of science and its relationship to God's action in our world.
Can science provide substantive insight into the question of God's existence? Isaac's paper examines three schools of thought regarding the possibility of detecting God's existence through science: Evolutionism, Creationism, and Intelligent Design.
In this scholarly essay, Steve Benner, a Distinguished Fellow of The Foundation for Applied Molecular Evolution in Gainesville, Fla., looks at what the role of a scientist should be. Benner looks specifically at "falsifiability", the acceptance of uncertainty, and the place of the scientist in public discourse.
Science and religion scholar Michael Ruse gives a personal account of his experiences as an author and public speaker on the compatibility of Christianity and biological evolution.
Falk's paper asks evangelical Christians to explore whether they are propping up a bubble that they, not God, have created, thereby isolating themselves from the world of academics. The essay describes five layers that may play a role in unnecessarily blocking entry, or reentry, of agnostic scientists into the realm of evangelicalism.
Giberson's essay makes the case that scientific fundamentalists are not merely arguing for the supremacy of science but also presenting science as a quasi-religious replacement. The agenda of the "New Atheists" is not merely to refute mainstream religion but to replace it. Unfortunately, the scientific community is poorly represented by these aggressive public figures.
Mark Noll, historian and author of The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind, enumerates 15 attitudes, assumptions, and convictions he considers to be most influential in inciting anti-intellectual sentiment among evangelical Christians.
