Article: Association Between Shigella Infection and Diarrhea Varies Based on Location and Age of Children[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Molecular identification of the invasion plasmid antigen-H (ipaH) gene has been established as a useful detection mechanism for Shigella spp. The Global Enteric Multicenter Study (GEMS) identified the etiology and burden of moderate-to-severe diarrhea (MSD) in sub-Saharan Africa and south Asia using a case-control study and traditional culture techniques. Here, we used quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) to identify Shigella spp. in 2,611 stool specimens from GEMS and compared these results to those using culture. Demographic and nutritional characteristics were assessed as possible risk factors. The qPCR identified more cases of shigellosis than culture; however, the distribution of demographic characteristics was similar by both methods. In regression models adjusting for Shigella quantity, age, and site, children who were exclusively breast-fed had significantly lower odds of MSD compared with children who were not breast-fed (odds ratio [OR] = 0.47, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.28-0.81). The association between Shigella quantity and MSD increased with age, with a peak in children of 24-35 months of age (OR = 8.2, 95% CI = 4.3-15.7) and the relationship between Shigella quantity and disease was greatest in Bangladesh (OR = 13.2, 95% CI = 7.3-23.8). This study found that qPCR identified more cases of Shigella and age, site, and breast-feeding status were significant risk factors for MSD. © The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene.The American journal of tropical medicine and hygiene 08/2015; DOI:10.4269/ajtmh.14-0319 · 2.70 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: In an attempt to better understand the non-O1/O139 isolates of V. cholerae, we undertook a systematic study of clinical and environmental isolates collected from various geographical locations collected between the years 1932 and 1998. Ninety-nine Vibrio cholerae isolates collected from clinical and environmental sources from various geographical regions between 1932 and 1998 were studied by sequencing seven housekeeping genes. Genetic relatedness was defined by multiple methods that allow for the observed high levels of recombination. We determined four V. cholerae subpopulations. One subpopulation contained mostly environmental isolates; a second, the cholera-toxin-positive serogroup O1/O139 isolates; and the other two subpopulations were enriched for non-O1/O139 clinical isolates that were frequently clonally related to each other. Our data suggest that many of these non-O1/O139 clinical isolates were phylogenetically related to common ancestors, even though the isolates had been collected from up to 36 years apart and from different countries or continents.

ABSTRACT: Infectious diarrhea leads to significant mortality in children, with 40 % of these deaths occurring in Africa. Classic human astroviruses are a well-established etiology of diarrhea. In recent years, seven novel astroviruses have been discovered (MLB1, MLB2, MLB3, VA1/HMO-C, VA2/HMO-B, VA3/HMO-A, VA4); however, there have been few studies on their prevalence or potential association with diarrhea. To investigate the prevalence and diversity of these classic and recently described astroviruses in a pediatric population, a case-control study was performed. Nine hundred and forty nine stools were previously collected from cases of moderate-to-severe diarrhea and matched controls of patients less than 5 years of age in Kenya and The Gambia. RT-PCR screening was performed using pan-astrovirus primers. Astroviruses were present in 9.9 % of all stool samples. MLB3 was the most common astrovirus with a prevalence of 2.6 %. Two subtypes of MLB3 were detected that varied based on location in Africa. In this case-control study, Astrovirus MLB1 was associated with diarrhea in Kenya, whereas Astrovirus MLB3 was associated with the control state in The Gambia. Classic human astrovirus was not associated with diarrhea in this study. Unexpectedly, astroviruses with high similarity to Canine Astrovirus and Avian Nephritis Virus 1 and 2 were also found in one case of diarrhea and two control stools respectively. Astroviruses including novel MLB- and VA-clade members are commonly found in pediatric stools in Kenya and The Gambia. The most recently discovered astrovirus, MLB3, was the most prevalent and was found more commonly in control stools in The Gambia, while astrovirus MLB1 was associated with diarrhea in Kenya. Furthermore, a distinct subtype of MLB3 was noted, as well as 3 unanticipated avian or canine astroviruses in the human stool samples. As a result of a broadly reactive PCR screen for astroviruses, new insight was gained regarding the epidemiology of astroviruses in Africa, where a large proportion of diarrheal morbidity and mortality occur.Virology Journal 05/2015; 12(1):78.

ABSTRACT: Potential contributions of the host-associated gut microbiota to human physiology continue to receive extensive research interest. While various lines of evidence support a role of the microbiota in maintaining human health, perturbations in normal microbiota composition have been correlated with various dietary changes and disease states,1 particularly diarrhoea.2 We have long known that close interactions between microbiota and the host's immune system occur in the distal small intestine and that microbes are highly metabolically active in the proximal large intestine. Recent global efforts have accumulated a wealth of data on the diversity of human gut-associated microbiota. These studies confirmed that even in healthy individuals a large degree of intraindividual as well as interindividual variation in microbiota composition and although to a lesser degree, microbial activities occur. However, what represents 'normal' gut microbiota is still not fully understood, which is largely due to the observed variation within and among individuals. While recent work based on phylogenetic analysis of both the small subunit (16S) of ribosomal RNA as well as metagenomic datasets suggests the existence of … [Full text of this article]Gut 02/2015; 64(10).

ABSTRACT: Pathogens in the gastrointestinal tract exist within a vast population of microbes. We examined associations between pathogens and composition of gut microbiota as they relate to Shigella spp./enteroinvasive Escherichia coli infection. We analyzed 3,035 stool specimens (1,735 nondiarrheal and 1,300 moderate-to-severe diarrheal) from the Global Enteric Multicenter Study for 9 enteropathogens. Diarrheal specimens had a higher number of enteropathogens (diarrheal mean 1.4, nondiarrheal mean 0.95; p<0.0001). Rotavirus showed a negative association with Shigella spp. in cases of diarrhea (odds ratio 0.31, 95% CI 0.17-0.55) and had a large combined effect on moderate-to-severe diarrhea (odds ratio 29, 95% CI 3.8-220). In 4 Lactobacillus taxa identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing, the association between pathogen and disease was decreased, which is consistent with the possibility that Lactobacillus spp. are protective against Shigella spp.-induced diarrhea. Bacterial diversity of gut microbiota was associated with diarrhea status, not high levels of the Shigella spp. ipaH gene.Emerging infectious diseases 02/2015; 21(2):242-50.

ABSTRACT: Diarrhea causes substantial morbidity and mortality in children in low-income countries. Although numerous pathogens cause diarrhea, the etiology of many episodes remains unknown. Serratia marcescens is incriminated in hospital-associated infections, and HIV/AIDS associated diarrhea. We have recently found that Serratia spp. may be found more commonly in the stools of patients with diarrhea than in asymptomatic control children. We therefore investigated the possible enteric pathogenicity of S. marcescens in vitro employing a polarized human colonic epithelial cell (T84) monolayer. Infected monolayers were assayed for bacterial invasion, transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER), cytotoxicity, interleukin-8 (IL-8) release and morphological changes by scanning electron microscopy. We observed significantly greater epithelial cell invasion by S. marcescens compared to Escherichia coli strain HS (p = 0.0038 respectively). Cell invasion was accompanied by reduction in TEER and secretion of IL-8. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) extracellular concentration rapidly increased within a few hours of exposure of the monolayer to S. marcescens. Scanning electron microscopy of S. marcescens-infected monolayers demonstrated destruction of microvilli and vacuolization. Our results suggest that S. marcescens interacts with intestinal epithelial cells in culture and induces dramatic alterations similar to those produced by known enteric pathogens.Gut Microbes 11/2014; 5(6).

ABSTRACT: The taxonomic status of saltwater Bdellovibrio-like prokaryotic predators has been revised to assign species to Halobacteriovorax gen. nov. A reclassification of Bacteriovorax marinus as Halobacteriovorax marinus (ATCC BAA-682T = DSM 15412T) and Bacteriovorax litoralis as Halobacteriovorax litoralis (ATCC BAA-684 T = DSM 15409T) is proposed. This revision is necessary because a previous proposal to retain saltwater isolates as species of Bacteriovorax and reclassify Bacteriovorax stolpii as Bacteriolyticum stolpii was not approved. Bacteriovorax stolpii is thus retained as the type species of Bacteriovorax and Halobacteriovorax marinus is the type species of Halobacteriovorax and of the Halobacteriovoraceae fam. nov.

Conference Paper: Host Gene Polymorphisms and Susceptibility to Bacterial Enteropathogens in Children Living in Gambia and Kenya[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The Global Enteric Multicenter Study (GEMS) is a prospective collaborative study to determine the pathogen specific, diarrhea associated attributable disease burden of diarrhea in Africa and Asia in children less than 5 years of age. Using samples from children that participated in this case-control study and were seen at in the GEMS clinics in The Gambia and Kenya, we conducted a host gene candidate study that examined the association of the host DNA single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and specific bacterial enteropathogens causing diarrhea. Cases of diarrhea were matched with healthy controls from the same area. Stool was collected and examined comprehensively for the presence of enteropathogens and host DNA polymorphisms. We studied de-identified fecal DNA for the presence of SNPs (N=144) in 26 genes that code for host proteins involved in pathogen attachment, inflammation, innate and acquired immune responses to enteropathogens. We analyzed the distribution of host genotypes and compared cases vs. controls according to enteropathogens identified. Comparisons were made using SNPSTATs software following an additive model. A mixed logistic regression model was used to adjust for potential confounding factors including site, age, weight for height and weight for age scores. Microbiological and genotype data were available in 1,164 subjects. Diarrhea was associated with 6 SNPs located in SELPLG, CD55, LPLUNC, IL12 B, and CORO1C. In The Gambia, diarrhea due to Shigella was associated with a SNP in SELPLG, diarrhea from enterotoxigenic E. coli was associated with SNPs in DAF (CD55), LPLUNC, SELPLG, diarrhea from enteroaggregative E. coli was associated with SNPs in CORO1C. In Kenya, diarrhea from enteroaggregative E.coli was associated with SNPs in IL12B and CORO1C Distinct SNPs were associated with pathogen specific diarrhea in children under 5 years of age living in two African countries.American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene; 11/2014
Conference Paper: Host Gene Polymorphisms and Susceptibility to Viral Enteropathogens in Children Living in The Gambia and Kenya[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background: The Global Enteric Multicenter Study (GEMS) is a prospective case control study to determine pathogen specific diarrheal disease burden among children <5 years of age in Africa and Asia. Using samples from children in The Gambia and Kenya, we conducted a gene candidate study that examined the association of the host DNA single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and specific viral enteropathogens rotavirus and norovirus causing diarrhea. Methods: Stool specimens from moderate to severe diarrhea cases and their age, sex and area matched controls were examined for the presence of enteropathogens and host DNA SNPs (N=144) in 26 genes that code for host proteins involved in pathogen attachment, inflammation, innate and acquired immune responses to enteropathogens. We analyzed the distribution of SNPs and compared cases vs. controls according to enteropathogens identified. Comparisons were made using SNPSTATs software following the dominant model. Logistic regression model was used to adjust for potential confounders including site and age. Results: Microbiological and genotype data were available in 1,164 subjects. In The Gambia, diarrhea due to norovirus was associated with SNP in C3orf23 (69% vs. 36%, OR=4.0, CI=1.1.5-13.7, P=0.03), SNPs in IL12B (67% vs. 32%, OR=4.2, CI=1.19-15, P=0.025) and a SNP in MBL (29% vs. 58%, OR=0.3, CI=0.08-0.9, P=0.045) and diarrhea from rotavirus was associated with SNPs in CD180 (88% vs. 49%, OR=8, CI=1.66-35, P=0.003). In Kenya, diarrhea from norovirus was associated with a SNP in C3orf23 (71% vs. 23%, OR=8, CI=1.4-42, P=0.013), and SNPs in LPLUNC (50% vs.15%, OR=6, CI=1.5-21, P=0.012) and diarrhea from rotavirus was associated with LPLUNC (61% vs. 40%, OR=2.5, CI=1.2-5.3, P=0.011). Conclusion: Distinct SNPs were associated with pathogen specific viral diarrhea in children under 5 years of age living in two African countries.IDWeek 2014 Meeting of the Infectious Diseases Society of America; 10/2014

ABSTRACT: Little is known about the population of eukaryotic viruses in the human gut ("virome") or the potential role it may play in disease. We used a metagenomic approach to define and compare the eukaryotic viromes in pediatric diarrhea cohorts from two locations (Melbourne and Northern Territory, Australia). We detected viruses known to cause diarrhea, non-pathogenic enteric viruses, viruses not associated with an enteric reservoir, viruses of plants, and novel viruses. Viromes from Northern Territory children contained more viral families per sample than viromes from Melbourne, which could be attributed largely to an increased number of sequences from the families Adenoviridae and Picornaviridae (genus enterovirus). qRT-PCR/PCR confirmed the increased prevalence of adenoviruses and enteroviruses. Testing of additional diarrhea cohorts by qRT-PCR/PCR demonstrated statistically different prevalences in different geographic sites. These findings raise the question of whether the virome plays a role in enteric diseases and conditions that vary with geography.Virology 09/2014; 468-470C:556-564.

Article: Diarrhea in young children from low-income countries leads to large-scale alterations in intestinal microbiota composition[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background Diarrheal diseases continue to contribute significantly to morbidity and mortality in infants and young children in developing countries. There is an urgent need to better understand the contributions of novel, potentially uncultured, diarrheal pathogens to severe diarrheal disease, as well as distortions in normal gut microbiota composition that might facilitate severe disease. Results We use high throughput 16S rRNA gene sequencing to compare fecal microbiota composition in children under five years of age who have been diagnosed with moderate to severe diarrhea (MSD) with the microbiota from diarrhea-free controls. Our study includes 992 children from four low-income countries in West and East Africa, and Southeast Asia. Known pathogens, as well as bacteria currently not considered as important diarrhea-causing pathogens, are positively associated with MSD, and these include Escherichia/Shigella, and Granulicatella species, and Streptococcus mitis/pneumoniae groups. In both cases and controls, there tend to be distinct negative correlations between facultative anaerobic lineages and obligate anaerobic lineages. Overall genus-level microbiota composition exhibit a shift in controls from low to high levels of Prevotella and in MSD cases from high to low levels of Escherichia/Shigella in younger versus older children; however, there was significant variation among many genera by both site and age. Conclusions Our findings expand the current understanding of microbiota-associated diarrhea pathogenicity in young children from developing countries. Our findings are necessarily based on correlative analyses and must be further validated through epidemiological and molecular techniques.Genome Biology 06/2014; 15(R76).

Article: Discovery of rosavirus 2, a novel variant of a rodent-associated picornavirus, in children from The Gambia[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We describe the identification of a novel picornavirus recovered from the fecal specimen of a child in The Gambia, provisionally named rosavirus 2. Comparison of the rosavirus 2 complete genome demonstrated 71.9% nucleotide identity to its closest relative rosavirus M-7, an unclassified picornavirus identified from rodent fecal material. A unique RNA structure was predicted in the 3' UTR of rosavirus 2 that was conserved with rosavirus M-7 and cadiciviruses. We detected rosavirus 2 in four pediatric fecal specimens (0.55% prevalence) in a Gambian diarrheal case-control cohort, but we did not detect it in a panel of 634 pediatric diarrheal stool specimens from the USA. There was no statistical evidence that rosavirus 2 was associated with diarrheal cases. This study broadens our understanding of unknown viruses present in children in developing country settings.Virology 04/2014; s 454–455(1):25–33. DOI:10.1016/j.virol.2014.01.018 · 3.32 Impact Factor
Article: Prothrombin G20210A Mutation Is Associated With Young-Onset Stroke The Genetics of Early-Onset Stroke Study and Meta-Analysis[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Although the prothrombin G20210A mutation has been implicated as a risk factor for venous thrombosis, its role in arterial ischemic stroke is unclear, particularly among young adults. To address this issue, we examined the association between prothrombin G20210A and ischemic stroke in a white case-control population and additionally performed a meta-analysis. From the population-based Genetics of Early Onset Stroke (GEOS) study, we identified 397 individuals of European ancestry aged 15 to 49 years with first-ever ischemic stroke and 426 matched controls. Logistic regression was used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) in the entire population and for subgroups stratified by sex, age, oral contraceptive use, migraine, and smoking status. A meta-analysis of 17 case-control studies (n=2305 cases <55 years) was also performed with and without GEOS data. Within GEOS, the association of the prothrombin G20210A mutation with ischemic stroke did not achieve statistical significance (OR=2.5; 95% confidence interval [CI]=0.9-6.5; P=0.07). However, among adults aged 15 to 42 years (younger than median age), cases were significantly more likely than controls to have the mutation (OR=5.9; 95% CI=1.2-28.1; P=0.03), whereas adults aged 42 to 49 years were not (OR=1.4; 95% CI=0.4-5.1; P=0.94). In our meta-analysis, the mutation was associated with significantly increased stroke risk in adults ≤55 years (OR=1.4; 95% CI=1.1-1.9; P=0.02), with significance increasing with addition of the GEOS results (OR=1.5; 95% CI=1.1-2.0; P=0.005). The prothrombin G20210A mutation is associated with ischemic stroke in young adults and may have an even stronger association among those with earlier onset strokes. Our finding of a stronger association in the younger young adult population requires replication.Stroke 03/2014; 45(4). DOI:10.1161/STROKEAHA.113.004063 · 5.72 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Cholera Cholera is still a major public health problem. The underlying bacterial pathogen Vibrio cholerae Vibrio cholerae (V. cholerae) is evolving and some of its mutations have set the stage for outbreaks outbreaks . After V. cholerae acquired the mobile elements VSP I & II, the El Tor pandemic began and spread across the tropics. The replacement of the O1 serotype encoding genes with the O139 encoding genes triggered an outbreak that swept across the Indian subcontinent. The sxt element generated a third selective sweep and most recently a fourth sweep was associated with the exchange of the El Tor ctx allele for a classical ctx allele in the El Tor background. In Kenya, variants of this fourth selective sweep have differentiated and become endemic residing in and emerging from environmental reservoirs. On a local level, studies in Bangladesh have revealed that outbreaks may arise from a nonrandom subset of the genetic lineages in the environment and as the population of the pathogen expands, many novel mutations may be found increasing the amount of genetic variation genetic variation , a phenomenon known as a founder flush. In Haiti, after the initial invasion and expansion of V. cholerae in 2010, a second outbreak occurred in the winter of 2011-2012 driven by natural selection of specific mutations.Current topics in microbiology and immunology 01/2014; 379.

ABSTRACT: Cholera remains a major public health problem. To compare the relative contribution of strains from the environment with strains isolated from patients during outbreaks, we performed multilocus variable tandem repeat analyses on samples collected during the 2010 and 2011 outbreak seasons in 2 geographically distinct areas of Bangladesh. A total of 222 environmental and clinical isolates of V. cholerae O1 were systematically collected from Chhatak and Mathbaria. In Chhatak, 75 of 79 isolates were from the same clonal complex, in which extensive differentiation was found in a temporally consistent pattern of successive mutations at single loci. A total of 59 isolates were collected from 6 persons; most isolates from 1 person differed by sequential single-locus mutations. In Mathbaria, 60 of 84 isolates represented 2 separate clonal complexes. The small number of genetic lineages in isolates from patients, compared with those from the environment, is consistent with accelerated transmission of some strains among humans during an outbreak.Emerging Infectious Diseases 01/2014; 20(1):54-60.

Article: Quantitative PCR and culture evaluationfor Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) associated diarrhea in volunteers.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Recent evidence suggests that the abundance of enteric pathogens in the stool correlates with the presence of clinical diarrhea. We quantified the fecal pathogen after feeding enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) strain H10407 to 30 adult volunteers. Stools were collected daily and examined using qualitative and quantitative (Q) culture. DNA was isolated and quantitative (Q)PCR targeting the heat-labile toxin (LT) gene was performed. Nine volunteers developed diarrhea. Among 131 stool specimens with complete data, pathogen abundance by QPCR was strongly correlated with Qculture, rho=0.61, p<0.0001. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis comparing quantitative data against diarrhea status suggested cut-points, based on a maximum Youden Index, of 2.8x10(4) LT gene copies and 1.8x10(7) CFU. Based on these cut-points, QPCR had a sensitivity and specificity compared to diarrheal status of 0.75 and 0.87, respectively, and an OR of 20.0 (95% CI 5.7-70.2), whereas Qculture had a sensitivity and specificity of 0.73 and 0.91, respectively, and an OR of 28.6 (95% CI 7.7-106.6). Qculture had a sensitivity and specificity of 0.82 and 0.48, respectively and an OR of 4.4 (95% CI 1.2-16.0).The correlation between Qculture and QPCR was highest in diarrheal specimens and both quantitative methods demonstrated stronger association with diarrhea than qualitative culture.

Article: Polymorphisms in migraine-associated gene, atp1a2, and ischemic stroke risk in a biracial population: The genetics of early onset stroke study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In a recent meta-analysis migraine was associated with a two-fold increase in stroke risk. While the mechanism driving this association is unknown, one intriguing hypothesis is that migraineurs are genetically predisposed to developing ischemic stroke. Mutations in the ATP1A2 gene are implicated in familial hemiplegic migraine type II and increase the severity of ischemic brain injury in animal models. To further explore these observations, we assessed the association between ATP1A2 polymorphisms, migraine, and the risk of ischemic stroke in participants of the Genetics of Early-Onset Stroke Study, a population-based case-control study of ischemic stroke among men and women aged 15-49. Using responses to a headache symptoms questionnaire, subjects were classified as having no migraine, or migraine with or without visual aura. Evaluating a total of 134 ATP1A2 polymorphisms genotyped using a combination of Illumina platforms (Cardiovascular Gene-centric 50 K SNP Array and HumanOmni1-Quad_v1-0_B Bead Chip), only one polymorphism (rs2070704) demonstrated a nominally significant association with stroke in an age-, gender-, ethnicity-adjusted model (OR = 0.83, 95% CI = 0.71-0.98, p = 0.025) and in a vascular risk factor model adjusting for age, gender, ethnicity, hypertension, diabetes, smoking, and myocardial infarction (OR = 0.74, 95% CI = 0.63-0.89, p = 0.001). Ethnicity-stratified analyses demonstrated a significant association for rs2070704 among African-Americans (OR = 0.68, 95% CI = 0.53-0.90, p = 0.005) but not Caucasians (OR = 0.82, 95% CI = 0.64-1.04, p = 0.107). These associations were unchanged when migraine subtypes were included as co-variates. We did not observe an association between ATP1A2 polymorphisms and migraine. While our results do not demonstrate a strong relationship between ATP1A2 polymorphisms and migraine associated stroke risk, the results are hypothesis generating and indicate that an association between ATP1A2 polymorphisms and stroke risk may exist. Additional studies are required.SpringerPlus 12/2013; 2(1):46. DOI:10.1186/2193-1801-2-46
Article: Molecular epidemiology of Staphyloccocus aureus colonization in the Old Order of Amish of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, USA[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: SUMMARY Transmission of Staphylococcus aureus colonization in community-based populations is not well understood. We sought to describe the molecular epidemiology of S. aureus colonization in the Old Order Amish. The study was a prospective, observational study of healthy adults and their same-sex siblings who were cultured from the anterior nares twice. S. aureus isolates were characterized using spa typing. Overall, 40% (159/398) of the study population was colonized with S. aureus. There were 84 spa types with the most abundant spa types being t012 (13%) and t021 (7%). There was no clustering of spa types within sibling groups; however, there was clustering within households. There were 111 S. aureus-colonized participant pairs living within the same household. Of these, 47% had concordant spa types. The diversity of spa types across a relatively isolated, genetically homogenous population with a similar lifestyle is striking. Taken together this suggests that S. aureus transmission is a local phenomenon limited to very close contact.Epidemiology and Infection 11/2013; 142(8):1-5.

O says my way or no way so its his fault
The right wing has said my way or the high way for five years.
74% of the population blame the Republicans for the shut down.
O says my way or no way so its his fault
Maybe the Tea Party should recognize that as a small portion of the party that controls one half of Congress, they aren't going to get everything they want unless they win more elections. Obama is willing to sign a budget that keeps the sequester level spending in place. At that time, Boehner said, "We got 98% of what we wanted."
Hmmm, Obama believes a default is a bad thing, a financial disaster.
Republican/TSE Party members know it will be a financial disaster, but can't quite make up their minds whether that's a good thing or a bad thing.
Yeah, it will cost the government a ton of money in interest rates and maybe permanent credit rating damage, but it will be a disaster that happened during the Obama administration, so that part is good, really good.
And, assuming Medicare and Social Security will remain intact, most of "us American" (as Harley put it) will not be hurt too badly. Only, you know, those people will suffer, so who cares about them?
Yeah, sure, let's default. As W would say, bring it on!
Is that a platinum coin in your pocket or are you just happy…?
The openly stated single goal of the right's cry to "negotiate" is to defund the ACA. And they blame the left for the shutdown. What statesmen.
You're quoting the same biased polls that incorrectly predicted that Obama would win the '12 election. The unbiased polls that correctly predicted Romney's win show almost all the voters blame Obama for the shutdown.
Radish is correct! And you are sooooo WROOONG!!! You are lying through your keys.
You must be new 'round these parts. Michael wme up there is popular for satirical posts like that one.
Trust us- you'll know when he's being serious.
"Only, you know, those people will suffer, so who cares about them?"
There is a significant part of the population in this country who will endure any humiliation, any degradation, so long as the people they hate suffer even worse.
Tiny minds and even smaller hearts, stuffed to the brim with hatred.
It is estimated that upwards of 40 million people can qualify for SNAPS but aren't taking it. Probably pride.
Can't fool everyone with that one. Obama's approval rating just gained another point today.
Propaganda from the white house isn't a poll!
As the truth about Obamacare comes out: fantastically higher costs and absurdly higher deductables, the liberals still are in denial! Wait until the rationing starts! Even then the liberals will deny it or blame it on the republicans———-they can justify ANY LIE by blaming it on the republicans!

The present building, constructed in 1821 by Nash stands on the Haymarket with a solemn portico facade. The interior is majestically and elegantly decorated having been refitted in 1974. It was in this theatre that the popular English song Home, sweet home was first sung in 1823. It used to put on mainly operas and ballets.

In the Personal Journal section of today's
print version of the Wall Street Journal, Aetna has a full-page ad. The
headline of this ad, "How Aetna can even help you keep your wallet healthy," caught
my attention because the ad promotes a few tips on how consumers can keep health
care costs down including:
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
· Use
generic prescriptions rather than brand-name
· Use
mail order service to fill prescriptions
· Preventative
care to keep yourself healthy
· Stay
in network when selecting providers (hospitals, doctors)
I have a tip for the health insurer -- why
not keep health care costs down by eliminating expensive advertising! I
wonder how much this full-page ad cost Aetna. With
the rise in health care costs, including insurance premiums, cost of service, and
administrative fees, I find it disconcerting that health insurers spent so much money
on this ad. If I had my choice, I would
prefer my health insurer save me money and reduce my monthly premiums, rather than
spend extravagant amounts of money on unnecessary advertising. No offense Aetna, but
with health care costs spiraling out of control, consumers are more interested in
reducing their out-of-pocket costs. I'm
not sure this ad keeps my wallet healthy.

Jenny Krauss
Jenny Krauss began making baby and home gifts 20 years ago, but has spent the last 10 years providing work for Bolivian and Peruvian artisans, often women with exceptional skills but few options for work.
"The women are often the sole support for their families and the work they do for me has not only helped them financially, but psychologically as well. They speak to me about lack of opportunity and how meaningful it is to create something they can sell. It's a joy to visit them and see changes in their lives."
Today, Jenny lives in New York and enjoys designing new products and visiting artisans. "Office work is a drag." She travels to Bolivia and Peru to meet with artisans and to provide them with new projects. "It's important to give and empower those less fortunate. Most people don't have a lot of opportunity to better their lives, so it feels good to be able to contribute something empowering and sustainable."

LOS ANGELES, CA - NOVEMBER 28: Brent Seabrook #7 of the Chicago Black Hawks during a stop against the Los Angeles Kings during the game at the Staples Center on November 28, 2009 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Harry How/Getty Images)
Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Brent Seabrook took a slap shot to the groin during the first period of Sunday's game at the United Center against the Los Angeles Kings. Seabrook positioned himself to block the shot from defenseman Drew Doughty during a Kings power play and took the puck to "the midsection". Seabrook was taken right to the Blackhawks dressing room but later returned to the game. Seabrook had a busy first period with a goal, an assist, and that painful shot to the groin, but he helped pave the way for the 3-2 Blackhawks victory. Video via CBSEyeOnHockey.

The American College of Physicians (ACP) is a national organization of internists specialists who apply scientific knowledge and clinical expertise to the diagnosis, treatment, and compassionate care of adults across the spectrum from health to complex illness. The ACP mission is to enhance the quality and effectiveness of health care by fostering excellence and professionalism in the practice of medicine. ACP was founded in 1915 to promote the science and practice of medicine, and since 1915 has supported internists in their quest for excellence.

Monday Morning Optimism Week 7: Ohio State vs. Indiana
Alright, get out your pitchforks. I didn't watch a single snap of this week's game. Not only was I at a wedding during the game, but I completely forgot to set the DVR to record it. The good news is that somehow the Buckeyes were able to pull out a win despite my absence. The bad news, according to my Twitter timeline (after the game, I still don't check it during), was that the defense simply didn't show up. I'll tell you what, I hope that Luke Fickell doesn't check his Twitter Mentions, otherwise he's going to be calling up Jim Bollman asking for advice on how to cope.
Normally this would be when I bust out three positives to take from this game. However, since I wasn't able to watch, I'm going to change things up this week. We're now seven weeks into the season and though we're technically one week past "halfway" I'm going to take the opportunity to offer some mid-season thoughts. So it's in this spirit that I present to you: Three things that I liked from the first seven games of Buckeye football.
1. Already Better than Last Year – It's easy to forget now that we're sitting at 7-0, but I doubt many Buckeye fans predicted that the team would be unbeaten at this point in the season. In the shortest possible amount of time, the Buckeyes have surpassed last season's win total, tied last season's conference win total and clinched a winning record for the 2012 season. I realize that it hasn't always been pretty, but you are what your record is and Ohio State is undefeated.
2. The Offense is Outstanding and it's not even that good yet. For all of its shortcomings: inconsistency at receiver, youth at TE, injuries at RB, the Ohio State offense is the best that it's been in years. If the Buckeyes keep up at the pace that they're going now, they will surpass last season's point total by week 9. In a development that I didn't think was realistic six months ago, it will be an upset if Braxton Miller isn't in New York for the Heisman Trophy ceremony. And he's only a sophomore! After battling through injuries, Carlos Hyde has emerged as a consistent threat out of the backfield. His 296 yards (5.9 YPC) and 5 touchdowns in the last two games is a big reason why the Buckeyes' record is still unblemished. Then there's Devin Smith who has shown a propensity for making the game-changing catch just when its needed the most. And then there's the offensive line. What a revelation that unit has been. After losing 3 5-star seniors, it has actually improved. The best news? Smith, Miller, Hyde, they're all back next year. Urban might hang 100 on somebody.
3. When it Matters, Plays get Made – Whether it's Philly Brown diving to snag an onside kick or bringing back a momentum-changing punt return, or the offense grinding out the clock against MSU, this team has shown a proclivity for making the big play when it needs it the most. Ohio State is a few plays away from being a 2-loss team, but they made those plays, and they aren't. That's what separates good teams from average ones. If someone is going to beat Ohio State, they're going to have to play all 60 minutes because this team won't quit when it gets down. Just ask Nebraska.

I had installed WordPress at http://www.mydomain.com, and everything was working smoothly. But then, I had a created an index.htm page with a message, so that that would be what visitors would see while I worked on customizing WordPress, etc.
Right now, the index pages aren't a problem - I simply renamed index.htm to index.html and now that message shows up, rather than the WordPress index.php. The problem is that, while I was trying to get to that fix, I accidentally fiddled around with the location of WordPress, and changed it to http://www.mydomain.com/index.php (in both spots). That was a completely unintelligent move on my part, I realize. Now, I can't even change that to http://www.mydomain.com again.
Is there anything I could do besides reinstall WordPress?
I've found many topics like http://wordpress.org/support/topic/16178, but my problem seems to be different. If I missed any that already answered my question, I'm sorry! ^^;;
Thank you so much for your time! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
