Common raven populations have increased more than 300 percent over the last 40 years in the western United States. Along with the eggs and nestlings of greater sage grouse, ravens also prey on the federally endangered Desert Tortoise, the endangered San Clemente Loggerhead Shrike and the California Least Tern.
In addition to proximity to transmission lines, ravens in the study area selected nest sites that were in close proximity to edges formed between sagebrush and land cover types associated with direct human disturbance such as introduction of non-native species, or fire. The degree of this fragmentation averaged 2.4 times greater at nest locations in the study area than at random unaltered sites. The scientists believe that in contrast to continuous sagebrush stands, edges enable the ravens to more readily detect prey and depredate nests of other bird species.
The authors summarized that among all variables, the distance to transmission lines, distance to edge and amount of edge had the greatest relative importance to ravens in selecting nesting locations. However, the findings in the study indicated that ravens also preferred nesting areas with non-native vegetation and they avoided junipers more so than on random sites.
The results of these findings pointed to further increases in raven abundance in formerly natural sagebrush steppe following alterations made by people, specifically those associated with energy development and an expanding electric grid. The authors state, "Such an increase likely poses an increased threat to sagebrush steppe species subject to raven depredation, including sage-grouse for which eggs and young are consumed by ravens."

Strategies for Healthy Weight Loss: From Vitamin C to
the Glycemic Response
Carol S. Johnston, PhD, FACN
Department of Nutrition, Arizona State University, Mesa, Arizona
Key words: weight loss, vitamin C, high-protein diets, vinegar, peanuts
Abstract America is experiencing a major obesity epidemic. The ramifications of this epidemic are immense
since obesity is associated with chronic metabolic abnormalities such as insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and
heart disease. Reduced physical activity and/or increased energy intakes are important factors in this epidemic.
Additionally, a genetic susceptibility to obesity is associated with gene polymorphisms affecting biochemical
pathways that regulate fat oxidation, energy expenditure, or energy intake. However, these pathways are also
impacted by specific foods and nutrients. Vitamin C status is inversely related to body mass. Individuals with
adequate vitamin C status oxidize 30% more fat during a moderate exercise bout than individuals with low
vitamin C status; thus, vitamin C depleted individuals may be more resistant to fat mass loss. Food choices can
impact post-meal satiety and hunger. High-protein foods promote postprandial thermogenesis and greater satiety
as compared to high-carbohydrate, low-fat foods; thus, diet regimens high in protein foods may improve diet
compliance and diet effectiveness. Vinegar and peanut ingestion can reduce the glycemic effect of a meal, a
phenomenon that has been related to satiety and reduced food consumption. Thus, the effectiveness of regular
exercise and a prudent diet for weight loss may be enhanced by attention to specific diet details.
Key teaching points:
• Gene polymorphisms associated with biochemical pathways that regulate fat oxidation, energy expenditure, or energy intake have
been linked to genetic susceptibility to obesity.
• 30–70% of the variation in body weight and fat mass can be attributed to genetics; environmental conditions, including specific
dietary factors, may play a pronounced role in the expression of these phenotypes.
• Vitamin C status is associated with tissue carnitine concentrations and fat oxidation and may represent a modifiable condition that
would impact fat oxidation thereby affecting body composition and body mass.
• The thermic effect of food, which accounts for ?10% of daily energy expenditure, is related to dietary protein; thus, the greater
calorie-cost of high-protein diets, in association with the increased satiety of these diets, may protect against gradual weight gain.
• The glycemic response to food ingestion has been associated with subsequent hunger; complementary foods, such as vinegar or
peanut products, when added to meals, may attenuate meal-time glycemia promoting satiety and reduced energy intake.
America is experiencing a major epidemic of overweight
and obesity. In 2001–02, 66% of adults were overweight (body
mass index [BMI] ?25) and 31% of adults were obese (BMI
?30) [1]. In comparison, the prevalences of overweight and
obesity respectively were 46% and 15% in 1976–80 and 56%
and 23% in 1988–94 [2]. Excess weight is associated with the
leading causes of death in the U.S.: cardiovascular disease,
cancer, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. In fact, obesity is quickly
gaining on tobacco as the leading cause of preventable death in
the U.S. In 1993, tobacco contributed to 400,000 deaths annu-
ally versus the 300,000 deaths attributed to diet and inactivity
[3]. By the year 2000, the gap had narrowed considerably with
435,000 deaths annually attributed to tobacco and 400,000
deaths attributed to diet and inactivity [4]. As a sign of the
times, Medicare recently announced that it had changed its

policy and will recognize obesity as an illness permitting cov-
erage for some obesity treatments. Hence, the ramifications of
the obesity epidemic are immense, from the increased risk of
debilitating conditions and death, to the tremendous economic
burden placed on America's healthcare system.
The Dietary Guidelines for Americans reflect the prepon-
derance of the research evidence for effective strategies for
weight loss and weight maintenance: be physically active each
day; choose a variety of grains daily, especially whole grains;
and choose a diet that is low in saturated fat and cholesterol and
moderate in total fat [5–9]. However, 30–70% of the variation
in body weight and fat mass can be attributed to genetics
[10–12]; and the impact of a prudent diet and/or physical
activity varies considerably between overweight individuals
[13]. Loos and Bouchard [14] described a three-tier model for
genetic susceptibility for obesity and postulated that the envi-
ronment has a permissive role in the severity of the obesity
phenotype. According to this model, at least 5% of the obesity
cases represent genetic obesity minimally impacted by the
environment. The more common forms of obesity would fall
into categories with either a strong or slight predisposition to
obesity, and environmental conditions would play a pro-
nounced role in the expression of the phenotype. Thus, in a
restrictive environment where food availability and labor sav-
ing devices are limited (similar to the adoption of a prudent diet
and exercise program), many individuals with a genetic pre-
disposition to obesity would likely be normal weight or slightly
overweight. But most Americans live in an 'obesogenic' envi-
ronment, and although some obese-promoting environmental
conditions have been identified, it is reasonable to expect that
there are other modifiable conditions impacting the obesity
phenotype. Attention to such variables may permit the fine-
tuning of weight loss strategies and promote greater successes.
Much of the work to understand the genetic susceptibility to
obesity has been to identify gene polymorphisms associated
with the biochemical pathways that regulate fat oxidation,
energy expenditure, or energy intake. Several proteins involved
in these pathways have been extensively studied: fatty acid
synthase, the mitochondrial uncoupling proteins, the ?- and
?2-adrenoceptors, leptin, and the leptin receptor [15–19]. We
have identified several dietary factors that also appear to mod-
ify energy expenditure and energy intake. Tweaking these
dietary factors to promote fat oxidation, energy expenditure, or
reduce energy intake may lessen the impact of a hedonistic
environment on the obesity phenotype.
Vitamin C Status
About 20% of U.S. adults are vitamin C depleted, plasma
concentrations 11–28 ?mol/L, and 12–17% are vitamin C
deficient and at risk of clinical scurvy, plasma concentrations
?11 ?mol/L [20,21]. Twenty-five years ago, the prevalence of
vitamin C deficiency was much lower, 3–5% of U.S. adults
[22]. Correspondence among physicians suggest that the inci-
dence of scurvy may indeed be on the rise [23,24], a seeming
paradox given the wide availability of fresh fruits and vegeta-
bles and the addition of vitamin C to many processed foods.
Yet, vitamin C in foods is irreversibly oxidized by exposure to
light, oxygen, and/or heat, and reports suggest that fresh pro-
duce or juice may lose 50–100% of its vitamin C content due
to handling and processing [25–27]. Hence, the increased pro-
cessing of the food supply may be impacting the level of
dietary vitamin C available to consumers.
As an effective reducing agent and electron donor, vitamin
C has an essential role in numerous metabolic pathways, most
notably that of collagen synthesis. Vitamin C is required for the
post-translational modification of procollagen polypeptides to
form the resilient, cross-linked collagen molecule [28]. Most of
the physiological symptoms attributed to scurvy (subcutaneous
and intramuscular hemorrhages, leg edema, joint pain, and
neuropathy) are related to defective collagen synthesis. Yet, as
reported by James Lind in 1753: "the first indication of the
approach of this disease is. . .a pale and bloated complexion;
with a listlessness to action or an aversion to any sort of
exercise. . .degenerates soon into a universal lassitude. . .much
fatigue and upon that occasion subject to breathlessness or
panting. And this lassitude, with a breathlessness upon motion,
are observed to be among the most constant concomitants of
the distemper". Vitamin C is required for the biosynthesis of
carnitine, a small molecule responsible for shuttling long chain
fatty acids across the mitochondrial membrane for ?-oxidation
and subsequent fat oxidation [29,30]. Reduced tissue carnitine,
and the associated impact on fat oxidation, is considered the
cause of the fatigue of scurvy [31,32].
We have observed that individuals with poor vitamin C
status (n ? 15; plasma vitamin C ?34 ?mol/L) oxidize less fat
during a submaximal walking test than individuals with ade-
quate vitamin C status (n ? 7; plasma vitamin C ?34 ?mol/L)
(respiratory exchange ratio, RER: 0.87 ? 0.01 versus 0.83 ?
0.01, p ? 0.05) (unpublished data). Furthermore, fat energy
expended in these subjects was inversely correlated with
plasma carnitine (r ? ?0.489, p ? 0.043) and with fatigue as
determined by the POMS (Profile of Moods States) question-
naire (r ? ?0.611, p ? 0.009). We conducted a placebo-
controlled depletion-repletion trial to determine the impact of
vitamin C status on exercise performance and vigor [33]. Sub-
jects with low vitamin C status (4 men and 5 women; 27.6 ?
2.5 y; plasma concentrations ?28 ?mol/L) consumed a placebo
capsule daily for three weeks (depletion period) and an identi-
cal looking capsule containing 500 mg vitamin C for the
following two weeks (repletion period). Subjects were unaware
of their vitamin C status and of the nature of the trial. At the end
of trial weeks 3 and 5, subjects completed a low intensity, 90
as [work rate (kcals/min)/energy expended (kcal/min)] ? 100.
In the vitamin C repleted state, subjects performed 10%
more work at 50% VO2max equating to a 14% improvement
Strategies for Healthy, Effective Weight Loss

in work efficiency (Table 1). Whether this improvement in
vigor and work performance was attributed to increased tissue
carnitine concentrations is not known since muscle biopsies
were not taken. However, plasma carnitine concentrations did
drop nearly 20% (p ? 0.05) indicating a rise in muscle carni-
tine. (In humans, carnitine synthesis from ?-butyrobetaine is
restricted to liver, brain, and kidney, and the transport of
carnitine into the muscle is dependent on a 1:1 exchange
process with ?-butyrobetaine that is synthesized in muscle
tissue, a vitamin C-dependent process [34,35]. Hence, in vita-
min C depletion, carnitine is trapped in plasma and plasma
carnitine concentrations rise [36].)
To examine the effect of vitamin C status on substrate
oxidation specifically, we recruited eleven sedentary individu-
als with poor vitamin C status (plasma vitamin C concentration
?34 ?mol/L). Subjects were free living and maintained their
usual dietary patterns; however, they were instructed not to
consume certain fruits, vegetables, and juices, mainly orange
juice, oranges, strawberries, melons, broccoli, tomatoes, and
peppers (i.e. foods containing ?30 mg of vitamin C per serv-
ing). During trial weeks 1–4 all subjects consumed a placebo
capsule daily (washout). Subjects were then randomized to the
repleted group (n ? 6; 500 mg vitamin C daily; capsule
identical in appearance to placebo) or the depleted group (n ?
5; placebo daily). At the end of trial weeks 4 and 8, subjects
completed a 60-min submaximal treadmill walking test. Fat
energy expended during exercise at week 8 was significantly
raised in repleted subjects as compared to depleted subjects
(2.03 ? 0.02 and 0.48 ? 0.11 kcals/kg, p ? 0.031) (Table 2).
RER was slightly lower in repleted subjects as compared to
depleted subjects at week 8 (0.879 ? 0.018 and 0.937 ? 0.026
respectively, p ? 0.096). Plasma carnitine did not differ by
group at week 8 (Table 2); however, plasma vitamin C and
carnitine were weakly inversely related (r ? ?0.441, p ?
0.087). Plasma vitamin C was correlated to fat energy expen-
diture (r ? 0.655, p ? 0.006) (Fig. 1); thus, vitamin C status
explained 43% of the variation in fat oxidation during submaxi-
mal exercise.
Together these data provide preliminary evidence that vita-
min C status influences fat oxidation, exercise performance,
and vigor. Since impaired fat oxidation has been implicated in
the development of obesity and in failed weight loss attempts
[37–39], vitamin C depletion may create a metabolic perturba-
tion that could potentially impact body mass. Several studies
have reported a significant inverse relationship between plasma
vitamin C concentrations and degree of obesity [40,41]. In our
trials, a weak inverse relationship was noted for plasma vitamin
C and body mass (r ? ?0.36; p ? 0.10). Interestingly, a
randomized, double blind trial demonstrated that vitamin C
supplementation was associated with significantly greater
weight loss versus placebo (2.53 kg versus 0.95 kg) after 6
weeks [42]. Thus, vitamin C status may represent a modifiable
condition that would impact the expression of the obesity

Macronutrient Profile of Diet
The thermic effect of food (TEF) accounts for roughly 10%
of daily energy expenditure. TEF is the increment in energy
expenditure above resting values that occurs following food
intake. TEF encompasses the obligatory energy costs of ingest-
ing, digesting, absorbing, and metabolizing food and the fac-
ultative energy cost related to the disposal of excess, non-
essential energy [43]. This latter component of TEF is
influenced by autonomic nervous function, which may be mod-
ulated by genotype [44,45]. A defect in postprandial thermo-
genesis would favor weight gain, and a 25–60% reduction in
TEF has been reported in obese individuals as compared to
their lean counterparts [46,47].
Due to the high metabolic cost of metabolizing protein,
dietary protein can exert up to three times more TEF than
isocaloric amounts of carbohydrate or fat [48]. We compared
the daylong energy-cost of a high-protein, low-fat (HPLF) diet
to that of a high-carbohydrate, low-fat (HCLF) diet in young
healthy, lean women (n ? 10; 19.0 ? 0.4 y; 64.4 ? 2.4 kg)
[49]. Subjects consumed each of the two experimental diets,
which were composed of common foods and meal plans, in a
randomized crossover manner, and metabolic testing was sep-
arated by 4-week intervals to control for possible confounding
effects of menstrual cycle on energy expenditure. The fasting,
morning energy expenditure was similar by diet, 1359 ? 59
and 1396 ? 53 kcals/24/h for the HPLF and HCLF diets
respectively. Postprandial energy expenditure at 2.5 h post-
meals was 8, 8, and 14 kcals/h higher on the HPLF diet plan as
compared to the HCLF diet plan for the breakfast, lunch, and
dinner meals respectively (Fig. 2). Assuming that this same
energy differential was maintained for 2–3 h intervals post-
meals, the higher TEF associated with the HPLF diet would
represent an added energy cost of 60–90 kcals/d equating to a
loss of ?1 kg every 12–24 weeks (or 2–4 kg/y). Short-term
investigations (6–12 weeks) have reported similar weight loss
in overweight subjects randomized to energy-restricted, low-fat
diets either high (30% energy) or low (15% energy) in dietary
protein [50,51]; yet, over longer periods of time, the modest
effect of dietary protein on TEF may promote greater weight
losses or protect against gradual weight gain.
Dietary protein is also the macronutrient generally associ-
ated with increased satiety [52]; yet, mechanisms controlling
satiety are not clear [53]. The thermic effect of protein has been
related to satiety [54], possibly due to the obligatory oxidative
disposal of amino acids. Dietary protein also is a potent stim-
ulator of the gastrointestinal hormones cholecystokinin and
glucagon-like peptide [55], both important mediators of satiety
via effects on gastrointestinal functions. Voluntary reductions
in energy consumption are noted in subjects consuming high-
protein meals ad libitum as compared with high-carbohydrate
meals [56,57]. Furthermore, in short-term trials, energy con-
sumption at subsequent meals was significantly less in subjects
consuming high-protein versus high-carbohydrate preloads
[57,58]. During a strictly controlled 6-wk weight loss trial
comparing a high-protein, low-fat, calorie restricted diet to a
high-carbohydrate, low-fat, calorie restricted diet [51], we
asked subjects to indicate on a 7-point Likert-scale (extremely
hungry to extremely full) how they generally had felt over the
past week. The experimental diets were equally effective at
reducing body weight and fat mass, but the HPLF subjects
reported feeling more satiated in the first 4 weeks of the feeding
trial compared with HCLF subjects (Fig. 3). Moreover, 20% of
the subjects randomized to the HCLF diet were dropped from
the trial since they were unable to comply with the calorie
restrictions due to unendurable hunger.
Thus, dietary protein may represent a dietary factor that can
be manipulated to influence the obesity phenotype via effects

on energy expenditure and energy intake. In this view, the
recent successes attributed to low-carbohydrate, high-protein
(Atkins-like) diets may simply reflect the thermogenesis and
the greater satiety afforded by higher intakes of protein and not
the 'very low carbohydrate' nature of the diets [59,60].
Glycemic Response to Meals
The current American diet is composed mainly of carbohy-
drates (50% total energy) [61], and carbohydrate-containing
foods are differentiated by their glycemic index (GI), an esti-
mate of the magnitude of the blood glucose response following
food ingestion. As compared to high-GI foods (processed
grains, foods composed of white flour, potato products, and
sweets), low-GI foods (whole grains, fruits, vegetables, dairy
products, and legumes) benefit body weight regulation by pro-
moting satiety. Of 20 studies published between 1977 and
1999, 16 demonstrated that low-GI foods promoted post-meal
satiety and/or reduced subsequent hunger [62]. In children
attending an outpatient pediatric obesity program, patients who
followed a low-GI diet lost significantly more weight after 4
months than patients who followed a reduced-fat diet (change
in body weight, ?2.03 kg versus ?1.31 kg, p ?0.05) [63].
Thus, a reduction in the meal-time glycemic load (GL; GI ? g
total carbohydrate) is associated with reduced energy consump-
tion and weight loss; and, this strategy may represent an im-
portant approach to the prevention and treatment of obesity
We have examined the possibility of complementary foods
to reduce postprandial glycemia and to enhance satiety. This
approach is simpler than approaches that would require dietary
change. Preliminary work in our laboratories has indicated that
vinegar [66] and peanut product consumption at mealtime
reduced the glycemic response to meals. Eleven healthy adults
(27.9 ? 2.9 y; body mass index, 22.7 ? 1.0 kg/m2) consumed
two different test meals (bagel and juice, GL ? 81; or teriyaki
chicken on rice, GL ? 48) in random order under three differ-
ent experimental treatments: control, vinegar, and peanut. Wa-
ter sweetened with saccharine (60 g) was consumed pre-meal
for the control and peanut treatments, and a similarly sweetened
diluted vinegar drink was consumed pre-meal for the vinegar
treatments. For the peanut treatment, peanut butter (25 g) was
substituted for butter in the bagel and juice meal, and roasted
peanuts (25 g) were substituted for butter in the teriyaki meal.
These changes did not alter the GL of the meals.
Vinegar or peanut ingestion reduced the 60-min glucose
response (calculated as the incremental area-under-the-curve)
to either test meal by 50–55% (Fig. 4). After consumption of
the bagel and juice meal, energy consumption for the remainder
of the day was weakly affected by the vinegar and peanut
treatments (?12 to ?16% or a reduction of ?200–275 kilo-
calories; p ? 0.111) (Fig. 5). Later energy consumption did not
vary by treatment when the teriyaki chicken test meal was
consumed, perhaps a reflection of the lower GL of this meal.
Regression analysis indicated that the 60-min glucose response
to the test meals explained 11 to 16% of the variation in later
energy ingestion (p ? 0.05). The acetic acid in vinegar may
reduce the glycemic response to high GL foods by inhibiting
disaccharidases in the small intestinal epithelium [67] or by
stimulating glucose uptake and utilization in peripheral tissues
[68]. Peanuts contain high levels of the amino acid arginine
which is a potent insulin secretagogue [69,70]; thus, peanut
consumption may affect glycemia by rapid stimulation of in-
sulin release and glucose uptake. These data indicate that the
addition of vinegar or peanut products to a high-GL meal
reduces postprandial glycemia.
Long-term trials would determine whether this simple con-
cept of complementary foods to attenuate postprandial glyce-
mia would favorably impact the obesity phenotype. Unpub-
lished data from our laboratories indicated that subjects
randomized to receive vinegar daily (n ? 12; 2 Tbls red
raspberry vinegar twice daily) lost weight after 4 weeks as
compared to a slight weight gain in the control subjects (n ?
10; 2 Tbls cranberry juice twice daily), ?0.72 ? 0.24 kg and

Cincinnati claims reliever was injured before trade
Updated: May 20, 2007, 3:03 PM ETAssociated Press
CINCINNATI -- The Reds have filed a grievance against the Washington Nationals over the trade that brought sore-shouldered reliever Gary Majewski to Cincinnati last season.
The Reds contend that Nationals general manager Jim Bowden failed to inform them of Majewski's shoulder problems when they got the right-hander as part of an eight-player deal last July 13.
Majewski has struggled since joining the Reds, and is in the minors this season.

Tiramisu latte is tasty!
Cappuccino, vanilla, caramel or regular... whatever but cappuccino...
Always quick service
Coffee. People watching.
Good atmosphere
This is by far the best Starbucks in the area. Also, try the hazelnut Frappuccino.
This place in weekends is just ridiculous because of the teenagers who are everywhere making a lot of noise and disturb the rest.
Some who works here are angry at you for no reason. I didn't do anything, I don't even know that person ever in my life :/
St zaten konumunda iyi
The Baristas here are super sweet and accommodating :)
Try the hot breakfast! The Bacon & Gouda artisan sandwich and the Spinach, Feta, & Egg White Wrap are great!
Great place! On her free wifi!
Worst/slowest Starbucks ever
Florence Starbucks kicks this Starbucks ASS!
You can log on to AT&T Wi-Fi at this Starbucks. It's free, and they also offer great local content on their Starbucks Digital Network.
Gingerbread Latte is back for the holidays. Sooooooo Good.
Don't come to this one on a Saturday night if you plan on studying.... Not happening..

This thing is confusing!
Much nicer than the Starbucks in Florence. Nice jazz music!
Mocha Coconut frappucino, Coconut Cream, or the White Chocolate mocha frappachino are delicious! Try one :)
They need more outlets! Hard to work in a place without outlets!
Good place, great environment to do work or hang it with friends. The music can get a little loud bt then again a coffee shop is supposed to be loud. Great employees and even better coffee
The caramel apple spice drink is perfect for someone with a sweet tooth and a great anti-coffee alternative.
Its a coffee shop..its supposed to be loud and social
The only quiet place to talk is in the bathroom. They blast the music in every corner....even outside!

We had a big holiday blow out party and I was given the task of getting the beer. I ordered it a day before I went to pick it up and when I arrived to get the cases upon cases of beer Cory was running the store. She went on to tell me her husband didnt tell her anything about me picking up so much beer and she wasnt about to call him because they were in the middle of a fight and she was going to file for divorce. I saw my opportunity to not only get free beer but also get some pussy. She seemed so frustrated about the whole ordeal so I played my cards right and told her she should just fuck me in front of the security cameras of the store and leave it for him to discover the next morning. I got free beer. Got to play with some phenomenal tits and ass and to top it all off she gave me a Benjamin because her husband had supposedly messed up the order. If only she knew I never paid him to begin with. The Hunter strikes again.

Using Thresholds to Measure and Quantify Cells in Image J
I often get asked how to uses Thresholds to measure things in Image J.
There are some great guides on the web explaining how to use Thresholds in Image J, and here are a few that are well worth checking out [Link1][Link2].
Below are some of the Basic Steps for using Thresholds:
- Open your image and duplicate it (Image>Duplicate)
- On the duplicate go to Image>Adjust>Threshold
- Play with the sliders until all of your cells are red.
- Click 'Apply'
- You should now have a 'binary' black and white image
- Now go to menu Process>Binary and select 'fill holes'
- You may also want to select erode, dilate, open or close to optimise the binary image so that you have nice solid filling of your cells.
- Now go to menu Analyse>Set Measurements. Select all the things you want to measure.
- Critical steps: make sure that you select your original image (not the binary) in the 'Redirect to:' pull down Menu
- Also make sure the 'Limit to threshold' checkbox is ticked and also tick the 'Add to overlay' and 'Display label'.
- Click ok to close the 'Set Measurements' box.
- Now go to Analyse>Analyse Particles
- Here you will need to play around with the size and circularity settings (bit of trial and error) in order to get accurate identification of your cells or ROIs. I suggest making duplicates before you start so that you can quickly try different things to see which one works best.
- Make sure you have the Display results tick box selected.
- Once you click ok you should have a the measurements box appear with all your measurements for each cell.
- You can copy and paste these into Excel or what ever program you like to use.
- Go get a coffee and cake you deserve it!
Good luck!
Using ImageJ to Measure Cell Fluorescence
Image J can be downloaded for free from here .
This guide can also be downloaded as a complete PDF here: Measuring Cell Fluorescence using ImageJ
Here is a very simple guide for determining the level of fluorescence in a given region (e.g nucleus)
- Select the cell of interest using any of the drawing/selection tools (i.e. rectangle, circle, polygon or freeform)
- From the Analyze menu select "set measurements". Make sure you have AREA, INTEGRATED DENSITY and MEAN GRAY VALUE selected (the rest can be ignored).
- Now select "Measure" from the analyze menu or hit cmd+m (apple). You should now see a popup box with a stack of values for that first cell.
- Now go and select a region next to your cell that has no fluroence, this will be your background.
NB: the size is not important. If you want to be super accurate here take 3+ selections from around the cell.
- Repeat this step for the other cells in the field of view that you want to measure.
- Once you have finished, select all the data in the Results window, and copy (cmd+c) and paste (cmd+v) into a new excel worksheet (or similar program)
- Use this formula to calculate the corrected total cell fluorescence (CTCF).
NB: You can use excel to perform this calculation for you.
CTCF = Integrated Density – (Area of selected cell X Mean fluorescence of background readings)
- Make a graph and your done. Notice that in this example that the rounded up mitotic cell appears to have a much higher level of staining, but this is actually due to its smaller size, which concentrates the staining in a smaller space. So if you just used the raw integrated density you would have data suggesting that the flattened cell has less staining then the rounded up one, when in reality they have a similar level of fluorescence.

Please help ASMR convince the government to urgently inject funding into Medical Research
Hi everyone,
I am honoured to have recently joined the National board of directors of the Australian Society for Medical Research (#ASMR). This is a fantastic society that has for decades fought for a better working environment and more sustainable investment in Medical research. We recently launched a campaigned to help restore much needed funding to the sector, which as many of you know this year is facing its worst level of grant success rates in years. Please read the information below, and using the template letter lobby your local, state and national MPs to help convince them of the urgent need and benefits of Medical Research.
In 2014, NHMRC project grant success rates were below 15% and are the lowest in our history. These funding rates mark a significant drop of over 8% since 2011. This year our sector faces its toughest challenge yet, with NHMRC project grant success rates predicted to drop below 10%. In addition, the NHMRC budget allocation in 2014 dropped below the 2008 investment. If we don't act immediately, this reduced investment into health and medical research (HMR) will result in attrition of a world-class, highly skilled and productive workforce and also negatively impact our capacity to improve health outcomes.
Early this year ASMR made its pre-budget submission (attached to this update), requesting
· an immediate injection into NHMRC,
· that the Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) is established,
· that Government commit to incrementally increasing investment for health and medical research until it reaches 3% of the total health expenditure by 2023.
This evidence based model will ensure that health and medical research is positioned to be responsive to the future health challenges facing Australia.
We applaud the Government recognising the value of health and medical research with the announcement of the Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF), however, this is a long-term initiative and we as a sector will not see any significant positive effects for several years. Our biggest challenge at the present time is to secure an immediate injection into NHMRC to claw back the loss of intellectual capital which an 8% drop in NHMRC grant success rates since 2011 represents.
Today I officially request your support for our campaign to secure
'An Immediate additional investment of $300M into the NHMRC in the 2015 Budget'
ASMR has and will continue to inform the Government of the gravity of this situation which threatens our ability to continue to provide the exceptional returns on investment our HMR brings to Australia in terms of both health and economic wellbeing. As always, our argument for additional public investment into NHMRC is underpinned by evidence. .
We will continue strategic meetings in the coming weeks. But, we need you!
As a sector we cannot accept the current situation and we must unite with a clear message. I ask that each of you, write a letter in the next couple of weeks to your local MP, the health minister and the prime minister. We recommend sending the letters by email and hard copy by mail. We know that this remains a very powerful advocacy tool. I have attached a template letter and also an ASMR fact sheet to help you. Also, spread the word to your friends, family and professional networks. In our 2006 campaign Government received >10,000 letters and this had a huge impact on the Government at the time – investment into NHMRC was doubled!
It is not too late to act on influencing Government decisions, you can make a difference! Thanks for getting on board and I am optimistic that we can ensure a positive change.
Best wishes,

I stay there for 2 nights with my family, 1 night before we go up to KL, and the 2nd night when we came back from KL. On the first night we stayed, we were allocated rooms on the first floor. We can hear people talking both on the corridor as well as other guest from rooms beside ours. We...

We had a job to do in JB and Singapore so staying here was an easy access in and out. The place was comfortable and spacious and of the price very reasonable. Lots of access to shop lots and Mc'D down the road. They even have a sitting area outside which was pleasing.
I checked in to this hotel on 31/7/12. Once entering room 313, the pungent smell of smoke was was unbearable for a non-smoker.

Spacewalk 2: Astronauts to head back outside
(AP) -- Space shuttle Discovery's astronauts have one last spacewalk to complete.
(AP) -- Space shuttle Discovery's astronauts have one last spacewalk to complete.
A plan for Russia's Soyuz capsule to fly around the International Space Station and take pictures of the US shuttle Discovery and other global spacecraft was deemed too risky, NASA said Tuesday.
The US space shuttle Discovery's mission to the International Space Station has been extended by one day, and will now return to Earth on March 8, NASA said.
Two US astronauts on Monday wrapped up the first spacewalk of the Discovery shuttle mission at the International Space Station after a robotic arm breakdown left one of them stranded for almost 20 minutes.
(AP) -- A pair of visiting shuttle astronauts ventured out on a spacewalk at the International Space Station on Monday, tackling a hodgepodge of maintenance jobs and an experiment to capture the invisible vacuum of space.
(AP) -- A spacewalk is planned at the International Space Station.
(AP) -- The astronauts aboard the orbiting shuttle-station complex geared up Sunday for the first spacewalk of their mission, amid some good news from Mission Control.
(AP) -- The 12 astronauts in orbit are getting a little break after staying up late to complete their first job together.
(AP) -- An astronaut who was bumped from space shuttle Discovery's final flight following a bicycle crash told his orbiting friends Friday that he's with them "in spirit."
(AP) -- The six astronauts on Discovery's final flight are making space shuttle history. One never expected to be on board.

Comments about 'No more voting booths in Sunset as city chooses mail-only ballots'

Funny, I live in Syracuse and this is the first I had heard that my city was switching to this method. I have never had a problem voting and I have a 100% voting record. This may be a solution that is looking for a problem. If anything, lets get with the 21st century and move to internet voting. Most of us bank online, why not vote online.

Yes, this is a major catastrophe of the election process where politicians can
control where the ballots are mailed. With such a mobile population there is no
way to control or monitor who is voting, even by internet.
Polling booths is the last and most secure means of controlling the voting population. Cost benefits are irrelevant when it comes to our Constitution and individuals right to have uncontested voters during elections. This mail in ballot will open the flood gates of voter validation for every election and every position. I would challenge every mail in vote if I had the option.
And what do you do about ballots lost in the mail? Its a losing augment when they start spouting cost and security of our last voice in government elections. Public records and mailing address cannot verify who is at an adddress and who is eleigible to vote.
Its not a valid form of elections and definitely not within the restrictions of the Constitution demanding physical presence and observations at the voting box. Let the Latinos protest all they want, the americans want the voting booth back so illegal aliens can't vote and interfere with our government.

4 Responses to "Hamas vs. Islamic Jihad"
There is way too much truth in this presentation. Bullies the world over know only one thing—when they aren't fighting each other…they fight the nearest other to continue the only thing they know. They are filled with hatred which is like a massive brain cramp. I un-cramped a few brains in my younger days, but as I learned, there were always more to take their place. Judging by many of the posts in the comment sections hither and yon, it seems like cramped brain is a problem endemic to the species. If I set up an un-cramping the brain clinic in my neighborhood, I would need to bar the doors in order to take a nap when I'd reached my limit for the day. The terrorist groups are an epitome of the cramped brain syndrome. When your brain is cramped it keeps the neural transmitters from sending signals to the cerebral cortex…among other places ;-).
It will only be a matter of time, that Hamas and Islamic Jihad will be attacking each other in Gaza. A carbon press copy of what Syria is now.
As long as Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood keep attacking each other, Israel will sit back and watch the two sides kill each other!
One can only hope.

"The moment my legs began to move, my thoughts began to flow."—Henry David Thoreau
Balch Hill
Stand beneath the single tree shading the grass-covered summit to look over the campus, across the river, and into Vermont.
Occom Pond
At the northern edge of campus, near the Hanover Country Club's gold course, Occom Pond is a favorite destination for walkers and joggers . A road loops around the pond for a mile.
Pine Park
Choose your walk through the 90 acres of pine trees well into their second century of life. Joggers have worn their own "unofficial" trails to follow, or you can find your own spot.
Oak Hill
Designed primarily for cross-country skiing, unpatrolled trails are open every day from 7:30 until 5 pm. Note the warning that "All skiers ski at their own risk."
Storrs Pond
From May through September, it is home to a members-only swim club. In the other months, its hilly landscape welcomes the walker seeking outdoor peace.
Gilman Island
Accessible only by boat, Gilman Island is very close to campus and yet seems isolated and peaceful. Titcomb Cabin can be reserved by contacting the Ledyard Canoe Club at (603) 643-6709.
Gile Mountain
Just over seven miles from Hanover, Gile Mountain offers an accessible, easy hiking trail to the top. After a mile and half walk to the firetower, on a clear day you will see the White Mountains and much of the Connecticut River Valley.
Mount Cardigan
Mount Cardigan is 25 miles from Hanover, and the 3.3 mile hike to its rocky, 3,155-foot summit is considered to be of moderate difficulty. The view is panoramic, from rural New Hampshire to the summits of the White Mountains in the distance.
Mount Ascutney
Twenty-four miles from Hanover, a hiker who follows the nearly seven-mile trail to the top will stand atop an ancient volcano that once towered 20,000 feet high.
Mount Moosilauke
More than 4,800 feet high, the summit of Mount Moosilauke may have the best view in the White Mountains. The mountain region includes 30 square miles of glacier cirques, cascades, ravines, rock slides, old logging roads, and lush woods. The Moosilauke Ravine Lodge is a favorite "base camp" for those who like a good meal and warm shower at the end of an active day.
Cole Pond Trail
Eastern brook trout make their home in Enfield's 17-acre coldwater pond, which has a maximum depth of 59 feet. Fly fishing is the only type permitted.
