Big B expresses gratitude on being invited to Pakistan
Amitabh Bachchan has expressed his gratitude to Senator Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain for inviting him to visit Pakistan.
The 'Bhootnath' actor replied to the invitation and shared the fond memories he has of Pakistani people, recalling the prayers that they extended to him during his injury on the sets of Coolie in 1983, the Express Tribune reported.
Hussain had mentioned in the invitation that Bachchan's visit would also promote peace between the two countries and allow him to explore his maternal ancestral roots.

Examine the possible effects of implementing a minimum wage in Malaysia from a microeconomic perspective.
Minimum wages has always been a worldwide topic that is constantly argued in many countries. It has always been argued that once minimum wages is applied, there would not be enough competition among workers in the country. As a result, an important question had been brought out; who will benefits when the minimum wage rises? How is the distribution of income for poor families, and the high income interest ladder?
The minimum wage is a must meet or it must exceed all employment contracts stated for the employees. The wage levels under the Fair Labor Standards Act contained that minimum wage changes from time to time in order to adjust to the high prices from individual economic units; such as single-parent families, businesses or personal micro-finance issues. From the microeconomics view, the minimum wage would produce positive and negative impacts on enterprises, individuals (workers), and families of those earning the minimum wage rate.
The effect of minimum wage on workers
In the perspective of job motivation, with minimum wage, low-skilled workers do not know what to expect when they are out looking for a job. Job searching efforts could offset whereby; they would accept low-wage offer, as a result, it would be more conducive to low-skilled workers. Hence with the minimum wage rate,these workers would not consider to depend on the public assistance income, and would be actively looking for employment because the public income assistance offered by the NGO (Non Government Organization) is relatively low.As a result, more individuals would stop applying or depending on public assistance.
Secondly, the creation of employment opportunities would then be low. This is because of, "the instability of the economy and sometimes to avoid hiring new workers which is caused by the minimum wage rate", according...

Dothan City School officials want to increase the amount of opportunities for soon-to-be graduating high school students.
"We're having a meeting with business and industry partners. We are calling it making the connection." Dothan Technology Center Principal Terry Scott said.
The goal is to create more jobs for those students who may not want to attend a 4-year college.
"We're meeting with business and industry to start participating in our school, and what business and industry needs from us to help improve work force and work force development in our region." Scott said.
And for many businesses, this means giving students hands-on experience.
"We're talking to businesses to see what they can offer to our kids as far as internships, externships, job shadowing opportunities, coming into our classrooms as guest speakers." Scott said.
"As a business owner, I need people who come out of the city schools that have the skills that I need." Dothan Awnings Company Owner Pat Thomas said.
Thomas owns Dothan Awnings Company. He says partnering with students before they graduate will not only help the students, but will also benefit the businesses they're learning from.
"The common knowledge you gain from going to work internships, puts them ahead of the game. " Thomas said.
Ahead of the game, and into a field, they may one day call their career.

Val Thorens – France
At the top of the Trois Vallees ski area Val Thorens is the highest ski resort in Western Europe and a tribute to the developers of the 1960's. Its popularity goes from strength to strength as a holiday here offers visitors the convenience and reliability that comes with staying at altitude, and at the same time easy access to the more attractive slopes and villages at lower levels. If it has a downside it would be that with altitude comes unpredictable weather, and on a bad weather day Val Thorens is a bleak place to be.
A lot of money has been spent on making the resort more desirable in recent years, all culminating in them winning the award for the 'Most Improved European Resort'. Amenities in the resort have expanded to be friendlier to the non-skier and to provide a much better food and drink scene. The exhilarating four mile toboggan run and the sports centre provide interesting, non-skiing diversions but make no mistake; Val Thorens is a purpose built, skiers resort.
- For the energetic try MTB on the snow.
- Ice driving - test your skills with a bit of driving on a tricky surface.
- Head to the ultimate party on the mountain at La Folie Douce for a party you won't forget
- Night sledging - not for the faint hearted.
- Pick a spot with a view and have a packed lunch and luxuriate in your surroundings.

The secrets of Val Thorens
Posted by Alf Alderson on 11th February 2015
I'm recently returned from a weekend of skiing in Val Thorens where two 'secrets' of the mountains became apparent.
First, even at half-term you can get almost empty slopes on a Saturday because being 'change over day' very few people other than locals are around; second, that even five days after a dump you can still score perfect untracked powder if you ski with the right person.

The mother of Ludacris' newborn daughter has taken aim at the rapper/actor after he accused his former lover of attempting to extort money out of him in a battle over child support.
RELATED: Celebs who've been busted for smoking pot
Ludacris, real name Chris Bridges, became a father again on Dec. 9, 2013, when Tamika Fuller gave birth to their baby girl.
However, the new parents had already started fighting over support payments months before the kid was born, with Ludacris filing court papers in an attempt to put a $1,700-a-month cap on his child support obligations.
He also accused his ex of attempting to blackmail him by demanding he buy her a new car and pay her lawyer's retainer fee of $7,500 to keep her from going public with the news of their lovechild.
Ludacris requested a gag order to prevent Fuller from speaking out about their relationship, but his motion was recently denied and now his baby's mother is taking aim at her ex.
In a post on her Instagram.com page on Wednesday, Fuller insists she is not after the rapper's money and reveals he has made little effort to visit their daughter.
RELATED: Celebs who've had trouble with the law
Fuller writes, "She has yet to meet her father and it's unfortunate because I would never keep him from seeing her...
"It saddens me that it has come to this. I did not file (court documents) on him. Nor would I ever try to attempt to extort my child's father."
Fuller has also urged members of the public to stop criticizing Ludacris for fighting over child support for the sake of their daughter.
She adds, "In spite of all that has already happened I just ask that the negativity stop towards him and I. We have a child to co-parent... Her best interests come before any of all of this foolishness."
Ludacris, who has been in a longterm relationship with girlfriend Eudoxie, also has a 12-year-old daughter, named Karma, from a previous relationship.

Portland! Such a livable city! So easy to get around! Well, maybe not. With the discontinuation of decades of service to stops in a NW Portland neighborhood, Abe and Joe discuss whether Portland's public transportation system is making the grade.
THE MELTING POT 8/17/10 Featured Artist - ZION I

This week Mayor Adams and other officials announced support for an "iconic" ten-lane bridge across the Columbia River.
What does the community really need?
Dave and JoAnne talked with members of the Third Bridge Now project about an alternative, they say relieves traffic congestion while preserving neighborhood livability and safety.
About the program…
What bridge does the community need on the Columbia River? A conversation with the Third Bridge Project
This week on Voices from the Edge, Jo Ann and Dave looked at the good and bad news of the week. Topics discussed included: federal funds being made available to Oregon to address budget shortfalls and whether those dollars will reach the people who really are in need; the impact of the new president of the Portland Police Association; shortcomings and risks with new assistance being offered to homeowners facing foreclosure; and missed economic development opportunities in emerging technologies.
About the program…
Oregon House District 43 is one of the most diverse in the state. It also faces some of the biggest challenges: high unemployment, high rates of police misconduct, high displacement from gentrification.
This week Dave and Jo Ann talked with State Rep. Lew Frederick about what role the state can play in addressing some of these problems.
This month host Tori Bortman visits the first half hour with Kenji Sugahara, Director of the Oregon Bicycle Racing Association (OBRA) and Lindsay Kandra, Portland Coordinator for the OBRA High School Cyclocross Program to talk about this exciting piolot program and how it plans to make Oregon's young adults happier, healthier and more muddy.
In the second half host Lindsay Caron will take a look at a part of the cycling community often overlooked: the disabled. She'll be joined by Oregon Disability Sports executive director and some other abled cyclists to talk about their riding experiences and life on wheels from a different perspective.
This week on Voices from the Edge, Jo Ann and Dave ask the question "Are the good guys ahead?" Local progressive may be feeling a bit down over the direction of local and state politics lately. City Hall seems more disconnected than ever from the world in which most Portlanders live. Earlier this week, city council voted 4-1 (Commissioner Fritz abstaining) to put a new bond measure before voters for a new communications system and other equipment for the Fire Bureau. With so many city services taking hits - and at least on other proposed bond measure being put on hold because of the economy - should there have been a community discussion about whether this measure could wait? Oregon's gubernatorial race - "Doc vs.
Portland City Council voted 3-2 this morning to let police unit commanders have a vote in certain cases before the new police review board. Does this make the new board "structurally flawed" or does it increase accountability as commissioners supporting the change claim? Voices from the Edge Hosts Dave Mazza and Jo Ann talk about this new development.

Okay, finally a useful answer to the question. I don't know or care about all that other stuff, and I don't want to see the thread derailed by it any further.

Bullshit. And Christopher, you just attacked ME, by categorizing my profound distaste for a hack author ruining a classic as a "hatefest." Trust me, what I said is MILD in comparison to what others have said.

You've just lost a reader. Congratulations. And it's nothing to do with your writing. It's because you're being a jerk. And I wouldn't be so proud of an endorsement by KJA. He can churn out quantity, definitely. Too bad not much of it is
Yeah, he has been doing that for

With the 15R, Dell has put together a versatile 15.6in budget to midrange laptop that doesn't compromise on connectivity. Relatively minor weaknesses with its keyboard aside, it holds up well overall, with the interchangeable lids being a great way to change the design according to your mood or to match the colour of your shoes (if you're that way inclined). Unfortunately, at the moment its pricing doesn't make it the most competitive option out there, and without other areas where it truly excels, it's worth checking out alternatives.

Current Commission Initiatives
Dialogues and Events
The Commission's current major focus is on dialogues exploring the future of the city in the context of the planning legacy of the past. In 2014, we partnered with UBC and SFU on a number of events including:
Symposium: Planning the metropolitan region
Commissioners participated in a symposium in April organized by the UBC School of Community and Regional Planning (SCARP) entitled Planning the Metropolitan Region. The symposium launched a critical examination of Vancouver, 'Vancouverism,' and 21st Century Urbanism that will culminate in a book of essays. The project combines a retrospective assessment of Vancouver's planning legacy with a look ahead to the city's future and will be a continuing source of valuable ideas for thinking about the city. The Commission sponsored the videography of the presentations of about 30 prominent urban thinkers, professionals and policy-makers. The presenters shared stories, reflections and critiques about the evolution of the City of Vancouver and the region.
Round Table: Vancouver's planning legacy and the future
The Commission hosted a round table with past commissioners in June to build on the dialogue initiated at the SCARP symposium. The dialogue responded to the following questions:
Given changing demographics, climate change, and global economic forces, does the planning legacy of the past adequately prepare us for the future in 2100? What from our legacy will serve us, and what must we yet do?
Lecture and Panel: Vancouver in the 21st Century
This co-presentation with SFU's Vancity Office of Community Engagement will include a lecture by Andy Yan, urban planning and VCPC Commissioner, which will look at various aspects of life in Vancouver through the lens of social statistics and community cartographies. From real estate ownership to electoral participation to school enrollment, it looks at the social, economic, and political opportunities and challenges facing the City and its region as it moves from a British colonial transit point to a Pacific metropolis. If ideas of "Vancouverism" framed city building in Vancouver between 1986 to the present, what might be some of the new ideas on urban life that will lead us into Vancouver's second century? The lecture will be followed by a panel and audience discussion with Peter Ladner, Vanessa Timmer and Matt Hern, moderated by Frances Bula. Event date: on September 24: further details here.
SFU City Conversations: Does Vancouver need a city-wide plan?
As CityPlan nears the end of its projected 20-year life, there is a lively discussion underway of what a new city-wide plan might mean for Vancouver and how it might be developed. The Planning Commission teamed up with SFU City Conversations to co-present a discussion on November 20, 2014 on the topc "Does Vancouver need a city-wide plan?" with presenters Ann McAfee, Vancouver's Co-Director of Planning (with Larry Beasley) who guided the 1995 CityPlan; Patrick Condon, Chair of Urban Design at UBC's School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture; and Peter Whitelaw, Principal at the Modus planning group with experience in creating and updating plans for other BC municipalities. Documentation for the event including videos, transcripts, background and resources can be found here.
2015 Initiatives
The work plan for 2015 is under development and includes initiatives that build on the dialogues of 2014 on the future of the city in the context of the planning legacy of the past. Our work continues to be collaborative, working with other organizations including SFU City Conversations, UBC School of Community and Regional Planning and School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture, and Museum of Vancouver.
Vancouver's Planning and Development History: Milestones
The Commission's background material for dialogues and other special events often includes a list of significant events in the history of planning and development of the city. In 2014, the Commission initiated a project to substantially improve existing lists with a chronology of milestones that is comprehensive, reliable and informative. One of our partners in this project is the UBC School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture, which has created a course on Vancouver's History in which students will contribute to the development of the chronology.

Parenteral nutrition support for patients with pancreatic cancer. Results of a phase II study
1 Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Charité Centrum für Tumormedizin, CONKO - Study Group, Augustenburger Platz 1, Berlin, Germany
2 Universitätsklinikum Halle, Abteilung für Innere Medizin, Ernst-Gruber-Str. 40, Halle, Germany

BMC Cancer 2010, 10:86 doi:10.1186/1471-2407-10-86Published: 9 March 2010
Cachexia is a common problem in patients (pts) suffering from upper gastrointestinal cancer. In addition, most of these patients suffer from malabsorption and stenosis of the gastrointestinal tract due to their illness. Various methods of supplementary nutrition (enteral, parenteral) are practised. In patients with advanced pancreatic cancer (APC), phase angle, determined by bio-electrical impedance analysis (BIA), seems to be a survival predictor. The positive influence of BIA determinate predictors by additional nutrition is currently under discussion.
To examine the impact of additional parenteral nutrition (APN) we assessed outpatients suffering from APC and progressive cachexia. The assessment based on the BIA method. Assessment parameters were phase angle, ECM/BCM index (ratio of extracellular mass to body cell mass), and BMI (body mass index). Patients suffering from progressive weight loss in spite of additional enteral nutritional support were eligible for the study.
Median treatment duration in 32 pts was 18 [8-35] weeks. Response evaluation showed a benefit in 27 pts (84%) in at least one parameter. 14 pts (43.7%) improved or stabilised in all three parameters. The median ECM/BCM index was 1.7 [1.11-3.14] at start of APN and improved down to 1.5 [1.12-3.36] during therapy. The median BMI increased from 19.7 [14.4-25.9] to 20.5 [15.4-25.0]. The median phase angle improved by 10% from 3.6 [2.3-5.1] to 3.9 [2.2-5.1].
We demonstrated the positive impact of APN on the assessed parameters, first of all the phase angle, and we observed at least a temporary benefit or stabilisation of the nutritional status in the majority of the investigated patients. Based on these findings we are currently investigating the impact of APN on survival in a larger patient cohort.

Gwyn: Economic woes a sign of decline
Big or small government isn't the issue.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
The television images coming out of London and Paris couldn't be less alike.
In Paris, the scenes are of mass demonstrations and store windows being smashed. In London, the streets are empty and TV reporters have to fill up their time with commentaries of their own.
Yet the two scenes are really the same. Both are about people responding to a transformational event in their lives, the French in excitement and anger and the British with the phlegmatic passivity that is their usual behaviour except when at soccer matches.
Common to the two events are that both are about the End of Big Government.
Government isn't going to vanish. Nor are governments going to shrink back to their modest size before the creation, right after World War II, of the welfare state. But, almost overnight, government is being seen as a potential source of national bankruptcy rather than the source of national prosperity.
Both in France (there pretty modestly) and in Britain (there radically, with half-a-million public servants due to be cut from the payrolls), and similarly in a cluster of countries such as Greece, Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Iceland, a conviction has taken hold that the smaller the government the larger will be a nation's economy.
The source for this attitude is the huge budget deficits of the governments of these countries, and likewise those of the United States and Canada (we being better off relatively but in no way absolutely so). The judgment now is that either these deficits are reduced drastically or these countries will face bankruptcy.
In fact, this assessment is grossly overdrawn. It is countries, not banks, that really are too big to fail. Anyway, no bondholder can march in and seize a nation's assets.
At least as important, the solution of deep spending cuts, even if correct, itself creates a whole new problem. Less government spending means less economic activity and, as a consequence, less tax revenue and so a larger deficit.
In Britain, for instance, it is calculated that cutting the public payrolls by half a million will cause the loss of half a million jobs in the private sector.
The consequence could be what can be called the Japan Syndrome. Once it was widely assumed that Japan was about to become the world's No. 1 economy. Instead, among developed countries, Japan's economy is now one of the weakest. It hasn't grown since 1991. House prices there, once the highest in the world, are back to where they were in 1983. And the debt of the Japanese government — about double the nation's total output — is the highest in the world.
What went wrong in Japan, economists now generally agree, is that it responded to hard times by cutting back and got itself locked into a straitjacket of slow growth, high unemployment, low tax revenues and, as a consequence of all that, a high debt.
This isn't to say that the same will happen to Britain or France, and at least as much the U.S., where President Barack Obama is facing the Tea Party's rebellion against big government.
It's to say, though, that it may happen, and that what's now going on is really not some brilliant, carefully thought-out, new economic policy but just a gamble.
Or, to get really gloomy, that what's really going on is not this or that grand economic policy or theory but the unpleasant reality that all these countries — even, dare it be said, Canada — have reached a peak and henceforth, with quite small variations between them, are due to decline no matter the size of their government or of their deficit.

Paris may exempt historic vehicles from its old car ban
Photo by Don O'Brien.
Despite the outcry over Paris officials' decision to ban cars older than 2011 from the city earlier this month-and the fears that nobody may again see Citroen 2CVs in front of the Eiffel Tower-it appears Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo intends to make an exemption from the ban for historic vehicles.
As announced and authored by Hidalgo herself in an effort to reduce the levels of smog in the city, the plan calls for trucks and buses registered before 2011 to be excluded from within the Boulevard Périphérique starting this July, then all cars registered before 1997 and motorcycles registered before 2000 next July, then ultimately all vehicles registered before 2011 by 2020. No exemptions for classic cars or penalties were announced in the initial round of details.
However, according to the Fédération Française des Véhicules d'Epoque (FFVE), the French arm of the Fédération Internationale des Véhicules Anciens (FIVA), Hidalgo has stated in a radio interview on French station BFM that collector vehicles will not be affected by the Parisian Plan de la Qualité de l'air—the legislation that calls for the ban. In addition, Tiddo Bresters, FIVA's vice president of legislation, said that FFVE has received a letter from Hidalgo herself stating that historic vehicles—those 30 years or older—will be exempt. As the FFVE pointed out in one of its recent news blasts, though, no such exemption has yet appeared in the text of the PQA.
Noting that historic vehicles represent 1.5 percent of the vehicle fleet in France, but 0.15 percent of kilometers traveled, the FFVE has formally requested that Hidalgo and Alain Vidales, France's secretary of state for transport, to confirm the exemption.
FIVA enacts Charter of Turin, establishes historic automobiles as cultural artifacts
Photo courtesy Ford Media.
Ye olde Tin Lizzie now has equal standing with the USS Constitution. Or, at least, it does in the eyes of the Federation Internationale des Vehicules Anciens, which recently enacted the Turin Charter, an effort to get the world's governments to recognize historic automobiles as cultural artifacts.
Similar to the nonbinding but widely accepted Venice, Barcelona and Riga charters, which set forth standards for the maintenance and preservation of historically significant buildings, watercraft and rail vehicles, FIVA's Turin Charter aims to "support and encourage the preservation and responsible use of historic vehicles as an important part of our technical and cultural heritage." According to FIVA, it was drafted in response to demand from various international political groups and from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, which set the international precedent for the protection of cultural property back in 1970. Passed at FIVA's general assembly last October, FIVA officials signed and enacted it January 29 at the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart.
According to FIVA's press release announcing the charter's enaction, the charter is meant to be used as a model for international policy related to historic automobiles as well as a guide for owners on how to best preserve their historic automobiles.
The aim of the charter is to protect both the tangible and intangible evidence of the history of vehicles in order to pass it on. We seek to preserve the greatest possible authenticity. Expert and ongoing care of all parts of the vehicle and regular running are necessary for this. The more often a vehicle is driven, and therefore seen, on public highways, the more interest in the subject grows, not only interest in the vehicles themselves, but also in the traditional skills of engineering, maintenance and operation.
As one would expect, the charter is rather hostile to modification and even takes a dim view of restorations not done with the historical accuracy of the vehicle in mind. And while the charter takes into account the preservation even of historic buildings related to automotive history as well as automotive history archives, it doesn't elaborate on the definition of historic automobile. FIVA is, however, working on a supplemental handbook designed "to provide further explanation of how the Turin Charter should be put into practice."
See below for the full text of the Turin Charter. For more information, visit FIVA.org.

Human Rights
Holder, R. Clemente, Washington Report on Middle East Affairs
Syria Accused of Holding "Longest-Serving Political Prisoners"
Middle East Watch has called upon the European Parliament to condition its financial and technical assistance to Syria on specific improvements in the country's human rights record. Exceptions, the New York-based human rights watchdog group says, should be made solely for humanitarian aid to Syria that directly benefits the needy.
A November Human Rights Watch report points out that 1993 marked "the 30th year that Syria's 15 million residents have been ruled under emergency law, imposed in March 1963 when the Arab Ba'th Socialist Party seized power." To date, political reforms promised by President Hafez Al-Assad in a June 1991 speech "have not been realized," according to the report. "Political opposition in Syria is still not tolerated, independent institutions of civil society are not permitted to exist, and the print and broadcast media are completely controlled by the state."
The report continues:
"The Assad regime, which has ruled in authoritarian fashion since 1970, continues to merit the ignominious distinction of holding some of the world's longest-serving political prisoners detained without charge or trial for over 20 years. One of these prisoners, Gen. Salah Jadid, died in August of this year, at 69 years of age.
"Despite the welcome mass releases over the last two years of thousands of Syria's security and political prisoners--including 4,018 in three successive amnesties between December 1991 and December 1992--Middle East Watch estimates that some 4,000 remain incarcerated. Among them are individuals held for association with political groups not engaged in violence, and writers and other professionals held for peaceful expression and association.
"Fifteen human rights activists from the Committee for the Defense of Democratic Freedoms and Human Rights in Syria (CDF), an independent human rights organization formed in Damascus in 1989 that is barred from working openly inside the country, are now part of this group of prisoners of conscience. The CDF members were arrested between December 1991 and March 1992."
Middle East Watch called upon Syria to release all prisoners and detainees held for peaceful expression and association; end the practice of torture and provide detainees prompt access to family members and lawyers; discontinue trials before Syria's State Security Court which violate international fair-trial standards; and end prolonged detention without charges or trial.
Middle East Watch Criticizes Egypt's State Security Directorate
An Oct. 22 Middle East Watch report calls upon President Bill Clinton and congressional policy-makers "to hold President Mubarak publicly accountable for his government's poor record," and accuses the Egyptian government of human rights violations "including the continuing state of emergency (in force since October 1981), the ongoing practice of incommunicado detention and torture by security forces, and increasing restrictions on freedom of association and freedom of expression."
The report said the U.S. human rights organization had appealed to the Mubarak government to bring the elite General Directorate of State Security Investigation (SSI) under the control of the rule of law; halt the SSI practice of torture and holding of suspects in incommunicado detention and continuously blindfolded; investigate torture complaints and make the findings public; suspend trials of civilians in military courts and commute death sentences imposed by these courts; and expand rather than restrict institutions of civil society, including opposition political groups that do not incite or practice violence.
Amnesty International Asks Bhutto To Fulfill Promises
Amnesty International has called upon Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, who assumed power after Pakistan's October elections, to fulfill the election pledge of her Pakistan People's Party to ban "torture and human degradation in any form" by agencies of Pakistan's government. …

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 1
Body Types, Diet theories

I am doing great! I have lost what used to be an intense craving for sweets, particularly soda. Been "soda free" for over 14 days and I don't miss it or think about it at all. =20
I am reading a plethora of books right now, looking for differences and similarities between theories, methodologies and results. Several of the other physicians refer to "genetic tendencies" toward gaining or losing weight, depending upon the diet (such as Drs. Sears (rags severely on high CHO diets) and Ornish (praises them to the heavens). Dr. Chopra discusses three Ayurvedic Body Types and I wonder if there is a connection between his body types and blood type. It is all so very interesting to me! What an interesting research project it would make if they were to go back and look
Well, I have to get to the bulletin board. Questions abound. Talking briefly with Dina helped get my perspective adjusted to using your materials in my teaching. I am in Florida, preparing to go aboard another Navy vessel on Monday to teach 100 civilian mariners "how to eat" for a healthy heart. I started the program with them over two years ago and I love this project.
The majority of my audience averages 45-50 years old, are overweight, sedentary, and smoke. I have an executive chef who joins me and he conducts hands-on training courses in the galley while I teach the crew. We institute a new menu, explode their purchasing possibilities and push them outside of the Armed Forces Recipe File. (I actually run a computer software firm which specializes in food service management software, including nutritional analysis. We work a great deal with the corrections industry. It's my love for nutrition and my passion for education that keeps me in the thick of this project.)

Bow Wow Reveals 'Secret' Baby Daughter
Bow Wow has revealed on his website that he has become a father.
"For the past three years [I've] been battling life," Bow Wow wrote on his website. "I felt as if I had no purpose to live (thinking selfishly) until God gave me the illest gift of my life … nothing amounts to my lil girl."
The rapper who rose to fame when he was just 13 years old explained that he kept his daughter a secret because he didn't know how his fans would react to the news.
"I was nervous on how ya'll would look at me. My lil girl is getting BIG fast. I love every minute of it. She inspires me to go harder. Even made me treat my mother better, it's like it made me into a man overnight."
Bow Wow did not disclose his daughter's age or who her mother is but it seems that they don't live together.
And even though he now calls himself a father, that doesn't mean Bow Wow has shortened his ways with woman. In a video on his website, Bow Wow talks openly about the throngs of women who throw themselves at him night after night.
"I love women so that's like my weakness, women," Bow Wow said. "It's just too easy, man. I mean you wouldn't believe, you wouldn't imagine what girls do just to get backstage or just to get to the hotel. I mean there's times when I can rock a sold out show and get back to the hotel and there'll be just a flock of women in the lobby waiting and willing to do what ever it takes just to get to me."
Although life on the road doesn't sound all that bad for Bow Wow, he admits his schedule does take him away from his daughter.
"Baby gotta stay with they momma and all dat bull. I hate that! So i have to fly 5 hrs away to see her," blogged the rapper. "I miss out on so much that I now know how important it is to cherish and have those things in your life. Yes! I change diapers. Ain't as bad as I thought."

Less than 15 people still without power after Monday's thunderstorm
When Monday night's fierce storm blew through the area, it left about 24,500 American Electric Power customers in the dark.
By Tuesday morning, AEP crews had restored power to all but about 2,000 customers, and they were working to restore the rest of the homes.
According to the AEP Texas website, 14 customers still were without power at 11 p.m. Wednesday.
Martha Salgado is one of those customers who had to find ways to deal with the heat and darkness since Monday evening.
Salgado said she and her family went to sleep that night in their home with hopes that the power would be restored by the time they woke up.
"It was cool outside. So we opened our windows and doors and stayed here with candles and flashlights," Salgado said. "But the power still wasn't on in the morning, so we took the stuff from our refrigerator to my brother's house."
"There were about 10 people in that house," she said, "with one bathroom."
Martha said it appears a transformer outside her house was damaged and a wire fell in the street, which left her home and two neighbors' homes powerless. Power to other homes on her street had been restored.
Martha said she hasn't been able to speak to anyone at AEP since reporting the outage online.
"Ever since then, we've been calling but just get an automated message," she said. "The number of outages have been going down a little bit at a time, but I guess we're at the bottom of the list."
Larry Jones, AEP Texas spokesman, said restoration crews began with the repairs that would restore the most homes and then moved on to the damage that shut off the power at fewer homes. He said these are often the ones that take longer to repair.
Greg Blair, AEP external affairs manager, said Tuesday that the company's crews would continue to work throughout the night to restore the remaining homes.
"We appreciate the patience that has been shown as we continue to do everything possible to restore power safely and as soon as possible," he said.

Victor Valdes living in sad exile at Manchester United
Victor Valdes says that goalkeepers are always alone, emotionally and physically distanced from their teammates.
He admits he's shy, an introvert who likes solitude, and that one of the reasons he loves windsurfing is the feeling of being out there on the sea a long way from land where no one can bother him except the occasional fish swimming past.
Yet the scene was still a sad, lonely one -- even for him -- and the message felt a little like a cry for help. Or for comprehension at least.

Tennessee investigators get new lead in 2-year-old disappearance
PARSONS, Tenn. — The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation sent out search dogs on Thursday to look for a young woman who has been missing since she was abducted from her home a little more than two years ago.
Holly Bobo was last seen April 13, 2011, when her brother said he saw a man in hunting clothes leading the 20-year-old nursing student into the woods around the family home outside Parsons, about 125 miles northeast of Memphis.
TBI spokeswoman Kristin Helm said dogs from the neighborhood found Bobo's purse on Wednesday and took it to a nearby home. That discovery spurred law enforcement officials to bring in search dogs to work an area roughly a mile from Bobo's home.

On Should the state put more limits on teachers' collective bargaining rights?
KS 2 years, 9 months ago
Before I even opened this link, I knew what the answer would be coming from our Lawerence readers. There should be NO unions in the public sector. These jobs are of civil servant nature. If you don't like your job, quit and go someplace else. The problem with unions here is that the mob bosses are the ones that get all the money and they don't care about their members. Just ask those folks at the Twinkie plant that were led down the primrose path.
jimmyjms 2 years, 9 months ago
What are you talking about? The owners stopped paying the pension and cut hours and wages in order to put that money into executive bonuses.
chootspa 2 years, 9 months ago
Last I heard, the workers were actually better off without the Hostess jobs. They're getting job training for new careers that will pay them more in the future instead of being stuck in a job that would cut their pay over the next several years and leave them with no time to get trained for a new career. The union really was looking out for the best interest of the workers. Whodathunkit?
chootspa 2 years, 9 months ago
Mob bosses in the teachers union? That's a little unhinged. Teachers don't have the power to strike, and they can't be compelled to join a union. So really the teacher's union is just shorthand for talking to a bunch of teachers and finding out what sort of contract they could live with.
KSManimal 2 years, 9 months ago
KS - you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. I would try to educate you, but I'm guessing you're immune to facts.
KS 2 years, 9 months ago
Where are they working now? I can't imagine they are looking forward to a Merry Christmas with lots of presents under the tree.

Why worry about facts when you have faith? Faith conquers all.

I believe he's referring to the question on the ballot in the last election.
jafs 2 years, 9 months ago
Ah - thanks for the clarification.
Bob Burton 2 years, 9 months ago
You need to check out those "democratic venture capitalists" for the Hostess plant.. I think they were the ones that pulled the plug..
Cant_have_it_both_ways 2 years, 9 months ago
Do you as parents or your children have a union representing you and your interests? Any way to fight back against all the drivel, and the such you are being blessed with? Any say in how or what is taught to your children?
Think about this next time you have to jump thru your butt to find someone to watch your children while you go to work to give your hard earned cash to members of a gang that only has their best interests at heart and not yours.
Since the NEA has been in control, we find that kids learn better if school starts AFTER you have to be at work. Teachers need Wed afternoons to grade papers while your children are running the streets, or you are paying for daycare. There are some more I am sure.
At any rate, if you have children, you are being held hostage to the desires of the union, which acts in a renegade manner and is only interested in the unions survival. Most unions do not care about those they represent until they need their money. Until education becomes performance based, it has no chance of getting better.
xorobabel 2 years, 9 months ago
The proof is in the pudding, as the say. You can sit and argue ideology all day, but the countries with the highest performing students (Japan, Singapore, Finland, etc.) have teachers that are highly unionized.
xorobabel 2 years, 9 months ago
I agree, Agnostick.
tomatogrower 2 years, 9 months ago
So schools should be babysitters, huh? "Teachers' hefty salaries are driving up taxes, and they only work 9 or 10 months a year. It's time we put things in perspective and pay them for what they do – babysit. We can get that for less than minimum wage.
That's right. Let's give them $3 an hour and only the hours they worked; not any of that silly planning time, or any time they spend before or after school. That would be $19.50 a day (7:45 to 3:00 PM with 45 min. off for lunch and plan– that equals 6 1/2 hours).
Each parent should pay $19.50 a day for these teachers to baby-sit their children. Now how many students do they teach in a day…maybe 30? So that's $19.50 x 30 = $585.00 a day.
However, remember they only work 180 days a year. I am not going to pay them for any vacations.
LET'S SEE…That's $585 X 180= $105,300 per year. (Hold on. My calculator needs new batteries.)
What about those special education teachers and the ones with master's degrees? Well, we could pay them minimum wage ($7.75), and just to be fair, round it off to $8.00 an hour. That would be $8 X 6 1/2 hours X 30 children X 180 days = $280,800 per year.
Wait a minute — there's something wrong here. There sure is. The average teacher's salary (nationwide) is $50,000. $50,000/180 days = $277.77/per day/30 students=$9.25/6.5 hours = $1.42 per hour per student– a very inexpensive baby-sitter and they even EDUCATE your kids!) WHAT A DEAL!
windex 2 years, 9 months ago
Yeah, those teacher union bosses in their snowflake sweaters, cleaning their own classrooms, scrambling to provide coats for cold kids, food for hungry kids, extra help for kids who entered kindergarten already 2 years behind - they're the problem, all right.
tomatogrower 2 years, 9 months ago
How do you suggest teachers are protected from and angry parent, especially one on the school board, who wants to fire the teacher, because he/she gave their deadbeat kid an f? And don't give me your fantasy world where that would never happen.
JW1945 2 years, 9 months ago
People have forgotten a long time ago that unions gave us the 40 hour work week, overtime pay, Health Insurance, & Retirement pensions .........people literally died to get these benefits. Does anyone really think that businesses gave these benefits to their employees just because they were "nice guys?" Think about it.
Pal 2 years, 9 months ago
I have thought about it. Their usefulness has been used up. They have done wonderful things in ancient history for people that can not do for themselves.
Now what good are they? Besides, laundering money for the Democrat party, what have they done for the country lately?
They are past tense. They have placed the children way down on the list of useful skills for a modern world. American doesn't make the top 10 list for the best place to raise a child.
Thanks to Union teachers.
Pal 2 years, 9 months ago
Yes. Look where the Union mentality has put the country. Unemployed not counted. Record food stamps. Record cases of denial.
chootspa 2 years, 9 months ago
Firefighters are usually exempted from union busting efforts. I'm sure it has nothing to do with their generally Republican voting records.
KSManimal 2 years, 9 months ago
And I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that the general public respects firefighters (and police, who are also usually exempt from union busting efforts). And I'm sure none of that has to do with the fact that the teaching profession is about 80% female; while the other two are about 80% male.....
LegendaryBeast 2 years, 9 months ago
Educators are some of our most IMPORTANT people! We should not limit their bargaining rights any further and we need to pay them FAR more than we are. After all, they are responsible for educating and protecting our children for a fairly sizable portion of the day. Our governor is trying to stop paying teachers and trying to take away any recourse the teachers have for contract negotiation/feedback. The leaders of Brownbackistan want to destroy the eduction system so that only the church has a say in a child's upbringing outside of the parents. If the teachers living in Brownbackistan suffer, then the children of Brownbackistan suffer and ultimately all the citizens of Brownbackistan suffer! Emperor Brownback, please stop destroying our free, education-hungry, culture & art loving civilization!

Kinda like looking in the mirror...isn't it?
verity 2 years, 9 months ago
I observed 58 second graders on a field trip to a museum today. I decided that all teachers should immediately have their salaries doubled.
If any teachers are reading this, even though I have no children, I appreciate more than I can say what you do, the sacrifices you make and the part you play in helping our children grow up to become good and productive citizens. (And, yes, they are all OUR children and our future.)

Right To Work State = lower wages and zero benefits.

Fire the Sam Brownback administration because Kansas cannot afford wreckanomics aka supply side economics.
Cant_have_it_both_ways 2 years, 9 months ago
No one is against education. Many are against education or any other type if employment that is not performanced based.
Until education is performance based, the very fine and competent teachers will be stuck carrying the malcontents and others that are not good for anyone.
You can whine all you want about unions...but if you look at the unions clearly, the unions are mostly in it for the unions survival, where 9 or 10 in the upper levels of management of the unions spend their time on cruise ships at the expense of those they are put in place to serve.
I never needed a union to keep my job for me. I perform when I am at work, and if I sence management is going a different direction, I change my course also. By making myself valuable to my employer, I have been quite successful over the years. I choose not to take the easy path, do what I have to do to attain tenure, then coast. All most of us want is value for our tax dollars. Most of the time, we are not getting it...thus the reason I demand change, which would be a performanced based education system.

Hello all -
My reentry to wet work continues. I've found all my old gear, save a couple thermometers. A question: Adorama carries both Ilford and Kodak vc filters; the Kodak is about $30 as opposed to about $55 for Ilford. Since the $25 difference would buy some paper, and since Kodak is exiting the paper biz, would I be okay with Kodak? I think both kits have the same number of filters. I've never used vc paper and I don't want to make my entry any harder than it need be.
Thanks to all!

Analysis of transcript and protein overlap in a human osteosarcoma cell line

An interesting field of research in genomics and proteomics is to compare the overlap between the transcriptome and the proteome. Recently, the tools to analyse gene and protein expression on a whole-genome scale have been improved, including the availability of the new generation sequencing instruments and high-throughput antibody-based methods to analyze the presence and localization of proteins. In this study, we used massive transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) to investigate the transcriptome of a human osteosarcoma cell line and compared the expression levels with in situ protein data obtained in-situ from antibody-based immunohistochemistry (IHC) and immunofluorescence microscopy (IF).
A large-scale analysis based on 2749 genes was performed, corresponding to approximately 13% of the protein coding genes in the human genome. We found the presence of both RNA and proteins to a large fraction of the analyzed genes with 60% of the analyzed human genes detected by all three methods. Only 34 genes (1.2%) were not detected on the transcriptional or protein level with any method. Our data suggest that the majority of the human genes are expressed at detectable transcript or protein levels in this cell line. Since the reliability of antibodies depends on possible cross-reactivity, we compared the RNA and protein data using antibodies with different reliability scores based on various criteria, including Western blot analysis. Gene products detected in all three platforms generally have good antibody validation scores, while those detected only by antibodies, but not by RNA sequencing, generally consist of more low-scoring antibodies.
This suggests that some antibodies are staining the cells in an unspecific manner, and that assessment of transcript presence by RNA-seq can provide guidance for validation of the corresponding antibodies.
