In August, 2011, Republicans agreed to allow more government borrowing ("raising the debt ceiling") only on condition that a Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction be empaneled to produce legislation intended to decrease the deficit by $1.2 trillion over 10 years. In case Mr. Obama might decline to embrace the recommendations of his own Simpson-Bowles commission (which is what he did), Republicans inserted a default remedy: sizable tax hikes and budget cuts to take effect Jan. 2, 2013. The power to avoid the fiscal cliff was in the hands of the Democratic majority, which has no interest in reducing spending to avoid insolvency, and never have.
The Republican House passed a law that would extend the so-called "Bush tax cuts." The stalemate continues because the Democratic Senate and White House decline to pass that bill into law, vowing to "go over the cliff" unless Republicans agree to raise taxes on the business owners and entrepreneurs whom Mr. Obama dubs "the rich." This despite the fact that raising taxes on "the rich" would yield what amounts to a drop in the bucket. But leave taxes aside. Federal spending should be slashed by five times the amount now making the big spenders' blood run cold. "I'm still perplexed by this whole idea that a fiscal cliff occurs when you sequester or cut federal spending," says Kentucky GOP Sen. Rand Paul. "I thought we needed to cut more spending. I don't even understand why cutting spending or sequestering spending is a fiscal cliff."
And when the "fiscal cliff" is sidestepped or modified at the last minute? Why, shortly thereafter will come another desperate panic over the need to again raise the debt ceiling, of course. As H.L. Mencken once observed, "The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."

How Shadows Chase The Balance
Available To Order (Estimated Shipping between 1-3 Working Days)
This item is to the best of our knowledge available to us from the supplier and should ship to you within the time-frame indicated. If there are any unforeseen issues with availability we will notify you immediately
How Shadows Chase The Balance is only the second full-length outing for Matthew Sweet's Boduf Songs, who sticks closely to the aesthetic blueprint established by his previous outing. Using just one mic and a bedroom-situated recording setup, Southampton dweller Sweet sets about spinning his stoically unadorned, unplugged songs, though manages to avoid any debilitating sense of austerity or sterility by merit of the rundown feel that pervades throughout. For instance, on the beautiful closer 'Last Glimmer On A Hill At Dusk' (possibly the finest song in Sweet's repertoire to date) in addition to the usual twang of half-rusted guitar strings, there's an intricate banjo part running throughout that locks into the main body of the song to great effect without ever really having to make much of an impact. Similarly, Sweet charges up the atmosphere on his productions by peppering them with simple, yet effective production quirks like an occasional smattering of effects pedal mutations, or a creepy, out of place oscillator drone. The addition of drums also has a massive impact on Sweet's material: despite the overwhelming gloom ingrained in his vocal, 'Quite When Group' becomes something of a pop anthem in the context of this album, punctuating the record with a much needed break from all that taut introversion. Lovely.

Well to me they both are very ugly.

C2: I had the opportunity to sit in on one of your sessions at Celebrate Your life, and it was fabulous. You mentioned ancient cave drawings, and that there were two different scenes in that drawing, predicting the way the future could be depending on how individuals handle things. Could you tell our readers a little bit about those drawings and how that relates to everything else you've been talking about today?
Gregg: They were images on a rock in northern Arizona in the Hopi reservation that is called the Hopi prophecy or Hopi map of time. And the theme is, almost universally, our indigenous ancestors have known that this time was coming. It's like the great secret everybody knows except in the modern, technological Western world, because we no longer think of the world in terms of cycles. But our ancestors did.
So it's on this prophecy rock in northern Arizona that one of the Hopi elders actually traced out an ancient map of life and the physical possibilities of life, but also embedded in the possibilities are references to a way of being that helps us to deal with the changes in life. And what the map was showing was that at the end of the last world age, the end of the last cycle, almost immediately our ancestors began writing to us and telling us what they just lived through, as I'm sure that we're doing right now. We're talking about the uniqueness of our time in history. And it's interesting to me that the great spiritual traditions emerged out of the change from the last great world age and one of the things I questioned as an aside, I wonder what spiritual traditions will emerge from this world age and will they still be here 5,000 years from now? I don't know the answer to that.
But what the map is showing on prophecy rock is that immediately after that last world age, they were shown two paths that people may choose to walk until the next world age. In the beginning both the paths looked very similar, but at one point it becomes obvious that one path becomes very rough, very rocky and it ends abruptly and goes nowhere, while the other path continues much longer and actually goes around the corner of this boulder and continues, and that corner is interpreted by the Hopi as being the world age. So the other path continues through the world age, and people that choose the other path live to be advanced ages and there's plenty of food and the things they need to continue their lives. And there's a third path that connects these two. It's a vertical line that's called the choice point. And that choice point, what they say is that before the choice point people can move between the two paths. They can try one for a while, and if they don't like that they can try the other one. After the choice point they say it becomes difficult, not impossible, but it becomes difficult to move between the two because we're so entrenched in one way of being or the other. And the hallmarks of the two paths, the path that goes nowhere is the path of comfort, greed and profit. And when I heard the word 'profit,' I asked the elders about that, I said 'does that mean we're not supposed to make money?' And they said 'no it's not profit of money, it's the kind of profit where one person benefits at another person's expense.' So it's that kind, so the path that goes nowhere and doesn't get us through the change is the path of comfort, greed and profit. The path that continues and that appears to be sustainable is the path of love.
C2: This is all so fascinating and it's been such a pleasure to talk to you today to hear about your research, to hear about your latest book. And I know you'll be speaking at Celebrate Your Life in Chicago in June, which again is very exciting and a great opportunity to see you live. What is the one message that you would leave our audience with, our readers with as we wrap up today about 2012 and beyond?
Gregg: 2012 is not the end of the world, it's the end of a great world age. And I'd like to thank everyone who hears or reads this for the lives that they're living and all that they've done to bring us to the point and to help us make this transition into a powerful life affirming, sustainable way of being and the legacy that we can be proud to leave for our children and for those who call us their ancestors 5,000 years from now. I think they'll look back to this time and they'll say this is a generation that chose really well. And I'm proud to be part of that generation and invite everybody to follow their hearts in whatever way they can to contribute in whatever way they can to make this a better world.
C2: A fascinating time indeed and a fascinating hour spent with you, so thank you so much Gregg.
Gregg Braden will be speaking at the Celebrate Your Life conference in Chicago in June 2010. This is the seventh of nine author interviews appearing on Care2 as part of the Celebrate Your Life series.

ROCKFORD — New leadership is the theme at Rock Valley College. Voters chose three newcomers Tuesday to serve on the seven-member board of trustees.
ROCKFORD — New leadership is the theme at Rock Valley College.
Voters chose three newcomers Tuesday to serve on the seven-member board of trustees.
Among the new board's first tasks will be to find a replacement for President Jack Becherer, who signed a contract extension last week that will end his service to the college June 30, 2014.
Lynn Kearney, Frank Haney and Patrick Murphy were selected from a field of 10 who competed for the three board seats. At 11:15 p.m., with 99 percent of precincts reporting, Kearney had 18 percent. Murphy and Haney both had 17 percent.
Rock Valley has become a key partner as the Rockford area aims to better educate its workforce and grow jobs. Enrollment hovers around 8,000 students, but it has slipped and Haney is eager to turn that around.
"Aggressive student recruitment is critical right now, especially at a time when the community's educational attainment is low, property tax revenue is stagnant and state aid is uncertain," Haney said. "No community needs its community college like Rockford needs Rock Valley."
In recent years, Rock Valley has launched and expanded vocational training programs and dual credit/dual enrollment programs that allow eligible high school juniors and seniors to simultaneously earn a high school diploma and an RVC associate degree.
Trustees are fine-tuning plans for $60 million-plus in building renovations and expansions at the 217-acre campus, 3301 N. Mulford Road. A new music hall and performing-arts venue will grace the campus in the next few years and the college is moving its downtown Rockford satellite campus to the city's main library branch.

Dr. Dan M. Chapel's Ratings
Dr Chapel put our son's tubes in 6 years ago, since then he has given us the brush off at every appointment. We recently spent 2 weeks with blood coming out of his ears after being told the tube was no longer in there. After a visit to the emergency room, we were informed the tube had grown into the eardrum and not fallen out. Dr. Chapel couldn't remember we were his patient or that he put the tubes in (too much to read patient records???). Surgery was required to remove the tube that had disrupted our son's eardrum, but the Dr didn't have time to pass off the records to his scheduling staff. We sat for 5 hours past our scheduled time before Dr even stopped in to see us. This is by far the WORST ENT I have ever worked with.

I was very impressed as to how punctual the Dr. was especially given the waiting room was full of kids that I did not want to put up with. I guess they were there to see another Dr. Everything worked like clockwork and we were out of there in a very timely maner.Dr. Chapel was very knowledgeable and shared with us everything that pertained to our issue. I would definately recommend Dr. Chapel to anyone looking for an ENT. In addition to him being knowledgeable and professional he is certainly easy on the eyes.

Dr. Chapel is fantastic! I'd been to two other docs who couldn't find the solution to the problem I'd been having for 8 years. Dr. Chapel immediately saw the problem after the MRI, I was in surgery in a a month (my scheduling), and NO MORE PROBLEMS! I also see his work with kids at the hospital I work at, and he's great with both the kids and the parents.

Robert deZanger, CEO of Natures Bioceuticals stated, "We are pleased to add this spectacular natural medicine to our existing product line. Although the Cold and Flu market is flooded with a number of established brands, we are confident that we can capture a significant portion of the market with an all natural product that really works. The goal we have set is to capture 3% of the US market within a 3 year period, which could possibly generate over $100,000,000 in revenues for the company. Our formula contains over twenty different herbs that are all 'active ingredients'. The formula provides relief from the cold and flu symptoms, but more importantly, it boosts the body's immune response to combat the cause of the virus. When taken at the onset of symptoms the formula has shown the ability to reduce the severity and duration of a cold or flu. It has also in many cases arrested the virus before symptoms are able to come to fruition. The inventor has for many years been conducting research to find a 'cure' for the common cold. This formula was invented as a result of that ongoing research. We now intend to hire an independent testing group to do a clinical trial(s) to formally document the results we have achieved and publish a report for the medical community."

Reorganization of the Chick Basilar
Papilla After Acoustic Trauma
Kresge Hearing Research Institute, The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor,
Michigan 48109-0506
The auditory epithelium in birds and mammals consists of a postmitotic population of hair
cells and supporting cells. Unlike mammals, birds can regenerate their auditory epithelia dter
trauma. Recent evidence indicates that supporting cells undergo mitosis after acoustic trauma,
suggesting that supporting cells may transdifferentiate into hair cells. The goals of this study
were to 1) characterize the responses of hair cells and supporting cells to acoustic trauma, and
2) determine whether hair cell loss is a prerequisite for generation of new hair cells. Chicks were
exposed to an octave-band noise and their inner ears assayed with fluorescence or scanning
electron microscopy, In one area of the basilar papilla, defined as the center of the lesion,
extensive hair cell degeneration occurred. Expanded supporting cells obliterated degenerating
hair cells and invaded spaces normally occupied by hair cells. Aggregates of DNA were found
within the basilar papilla, suggesting that hair cell death and disintegration may occur within
the epithelium. The epithelial sheet appeared structurally confluent at all times examined.
Supporting cells exhibited altered apical contour in distal regions of the basilar papilla, where
hair cell damage was mild or inconspicuous. Four days after noise exposure, newly generated
hair cells were found in the center of the lesion and in the distal areas, where no hair cell loss
could be detected. The results suggest that supporting cells may play an important role in
maintenance and repair of the traumatized basilar papilla and raise the possibility that production of
new hair cells is not dependent on hair cell loss in the immediate vicinity.
Key words: noise, repair, regeneration, mitosis
18 iw wiiey-~ks, Inc.
In chick, hair cells that are lost after acoustic or chemical
trauma are replaced by new, normal appearing hair cells
(Cotanche, '87; Corwin and Cotanche, '88; Ryals and Rubel,
'88). The mechanisms that initiate and control this regener-
ative process are largely unknown.
Mechanisms that control regeneration vary between
different sensory epithelial tissues. In the experimentally
damaged teleost fish eye, rod precursors can give rise to
more than one retinal cell type, suggesting that cues from
the surroundings influence the regenerative process (Ray-
mond, '91). Experiments with cultured aggregates of chick
retinal pigment epithelium have shown that transdifferen-
tiation of these cells is modulated by cell shape, the
composition of the extracellular matrix, and the presence of
bFGF (reviewed in Reh et al., '911. In the olfactory neuroep-
ithelium, degenerated neurons can be replaced by new
neurons that arise via mitotic divisions of basal cells
(Graziadei and Monti Graziadei, '85). The possibility that
extracellular matrix proteins and growth factors regulate
growth and differentiation in olfactory neuroepithelium
has also been investigated (Calof et al., '911, but the
mechanism of regulation has yet to be determined. In the
postembryonic Oscar (Astronotus ocellatus), a teleost fish,
"embryonic like" neuroepithelial cells serve as stem cells,
which can give rise to new hair cells and supporting cells
(Presson and Popper, '90). Nevertheless, it is not known
how proliferation and regeneration of new hair cells and
supporting cells are regulated. Thus, data at the cellular,
molecular, and genetic levels indicate that control mecha-
nisms that regulate epithelial regeneration are species and
tissue specific.
3H thymidine studies in traumatized chick inner ears
showed that labeled hair cells and supporting cells were
present in the basilar papilla (BPI after several days of
recovery from acoustic overstimulation (Corwin and Co-
tanche, '88; Girod et al., '89). Thus, cell divisions appear to

ing supporting cell proliferation and differentiation in the
noise exposed BP are not known.
To explain the regulatory mechanism that controls gener-
ation and differentiation of new cells in the basilar papilla,
Corwin et al. ('91) suggested that presence of intercellular
contacts with hair cells inhibits supporting cells from
proliferating. According to this hypothesis, loss of two or
more hair cells would deprive supporting cells of hetero-
philic contacts, leading to removal of lateral inhibition and
a subsequent regenerative response.
The goals of this study were 1) to characterize the process
of hair cell degeneration and the relationships between hair
cell degeneration and the response of supporting cells, and
2) to test the hypothesis that changes in cell-cell contacts
that result from the loss of hair cells and their replacement
by expanded supporting cells are necessary to induce prolif-
eration of supporting cells. To that end, the responses of
supporting cells and hair cells to acoustic trauma were
documented by fluorescence or scanning electron micros-
copy on wholemounts of the BP.
Animals and noise exposure
One week old white Leghorn chick hatchlings were placed
for 4 hours in a mesh-wire cage beneath a horn speaker that
delivered octave-band noise with a center frequency of 1.5
kHz and intensity of 120 dB SPL. The signal was generated
by a random noise generator (General Radio Company,
model 1381), filtered, and amplified (MC 2105, McIntosh
Power Amplifier). Intensity was calibrated with a Precision
Sound Level Meter (type 2203, Bruel & Kjaer). Chicks were
killed at 0 (n = lo), 6 (n = 5), 24 (n = 41, 48.(n = 8), or 96
(n = 6) hours after noise exposure. Seven chicks were used
as untreated controls.
Histo- and immunocytochemistry
Chicks were anesthetized and perfused intracardially
with 3% paraformaldehyde in 0.15 M phosphate buffer at
pH 7.35. Temporal bones were rapidly removed and BP
harvested. Tissues were prepared as wholemounts, perme-
abilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in phosphate buffered
saline (PBS) for 5 minutes and stained with one or more of
the following probes: cingulin-specific antibodies were used
to label tight-junctions, phalloidin to stain F-actin, and
bisbenzimide trihydrochloride (Hoechst) to label DNA.
Nonspecific immunoreactivity was blocked in normal goat
serum (5% in PBS) for 30 minutes. Samples were then
incubated in rabbit anti-cingulin antibody (1:600 dilution;
Citi et al., '88, '89) for 60 minutes, rinsed thoroughly, and
immersed in a PBS solution containing Hoechst (2 mg/ml,
Sigma): rhodamine phalloidin (1: 100; Molecular Probes,
OR), and FITC-conjugated goat anti rabbit secondary anti-
body (1:lOO; Cappel, Durham, NC) for 30 minutes. After
rinsing, papillae were mounted in 60% glycerol in sodium
carbonate buffer (pH 8.5) with p-phenylenediamine as an
anti-bleach agent. Controls for specificity of labeling in-
cluded omission of primary antibodies and labeling of
several nonauditory tissues.
Preparations were photographed with a Leitz Orthoplan
microscope equipped for epifluorescence with x 50 and
~ 1 0 0 oil objectives, or with a Bio-Rad laser confocal
microscope with an xl00 oil objective. Photography was
performed with Kodak T-max 400 film exposed at 1,600
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM)
Animals were fixed as described above for histochemistry
and then postfixed in 1% aqueous osmium tetroxide for 30
minutes. Wholemounts were processed using routine meth-
ods (Raphael, '92). Tissues were analyzed and photo-
graphed with an AMRAY lOOOB scanning electron micro-
scope operated at 10 kV.
The use of wholemounts for histochemical analysis en-
abled visualization of the BP in its entirety (Fig. 1A). Using
wholemounts with double- and triple-labeling proved to be
an excellent method for assessing the tissue organization,
distribution of junctional complexes, and location and
integrity of nuclei. In control tissues, F-actin (microfila-
ments) was present in the stereocilia and the cuticular plate
(terminal web) of every hair cell (Fig. lB), as previously
described (Baphael, '91). Hair cells were normally orga-
nized in rows with similar spaces between each other.
Co-localization of actin (Fig. 1B) and Hoechst (Fig. 1C) in
control tissues made it possible to locate the nucleus in
relation to the actin cytoskeleton of each cell. Normal hair
cells exhibited round nuclei organized in rows, visible at a
focal plane immediately beneath the luminal surface. Sup-
porting cell nuclei also labeled by Hoechst stain were
located at a deeper focal plane closer to the basement
membrane (not shown). Thus, nuclei of cells in the BP had
a laminar distribution, with hair cell nuclei immediately
beneath the reticular lamina (RL) and supporting cell
nuclei beneath them, closer to the basal lamina, as previ-
ously reported (Raphael, '92). Cingulin (Fig. lD), a protein
specific to tight-junctions (Citi et al., '88, '89), appeared as a
narrow line at the focal plane of the RL. Thus, cingulin-
specific label was found in homophilic (supporting cell-
supporting cell) and heterophilic (support cell-hair cell)
junctions at the RL. Because the apical surface area of
supporting cells was very slender, cingulin label often
appeared as a single line. Nevertheless, it should be noted
that cingulin was present all around the apical contour of
supporting cells. Therefore, the pattern of cingulin distribu-
tion was a good marker to delineate the polygonal apical
contours of hair cells and the narrow apical contour of
supporting cells (Figs. ID, 4A). In the polygon that sur-
rounds each hair cell, contact points between adjacent
supporting cells may be at the sharp corners, as depicted in
Figure 4A', or, alternatively, along the sides of the polygon.
Actin and cingulin were co-localized at the apical intercel-
lular contacts of' cells in the BP (Fig. 1E and D, respective-
ly). The pattern of cingulin and actin labels revealed similar
cellular organization of the BP in the proximal and distal
areas. The organization of the normal sensory mosaic of the
avian BP, shown with two fluorescent markers (Figs.
lD,E), is consistent with previous reports based on scan-
ning electron microscopy (Hirokawa, '78; Tanaka and
Smith, '78; Chandler, '84).
Structural alterations that accompany hair cell degenera-
tion were consistently observed in noise exposed chicks in a
region located 1.2 mm from the proximal end of the BP.
This region of damage is referred to as the "center of the
lesion" throughout this work (see Fig. 1A for location of
this region). Supporting cells in the center of the lesion
exhibited an expanded apical area, and occupied a signifi-
cant portion of the total surface of the RL, as previously
described (Cotanche, '87; Cotanche and Dopyera, '90; Marsh

Jet schemes are semi-Lagrangian advection approaches that evolve parts
of the jet of the solution (i.e., function values and higher
derivatives) along characteristic curves. Suitable Hermite
interpolations give rise to methods that are high order accurate, yet
optimally local, i.e., the update for the data at any grid point uses
information from a single grid cell only. Jet schemes can be
systematically derived from an evolve-and-project methodology in
function spaces, which in particular yields stability estimates. We
present a comparison of the accuracy and computational cost of jet
schemes with WENO and Discontinuous Galerkin schemes.
For interface evolution problems, jet schemes give rise to
gradient-augmented level set methods (GALSM). These possess sub-grid
resolution and yield accurate curvature approximations. The benefits
of this feature are demonstrated with a two-phase fluid flow
simulation. Moreover, we demonstrate how the optimal locality of jet
schemes gives rise to a straightforward combination with of adaptive
mesh refinement (AMR).

"If there's a good wind, I'll get after them with a jerkbait and a medium running crankbait," Martens says.
He favors a Megabass Vision 110 jerkbait in a shad pattern, and the Megabass MR-X Cyclone crankbait in a shad or crawdad color.
Other rods on Martens' deck would be rigged with a soft jerkbait, a ball head jig dressed with a small crawdad, and a 1/4-ounce homemade finesse jig tipped with a small chunk.
"A shaky head worm and a drop shot works well at Smith, too, but you'll catch bigger bass at that time of year with a finesse jig," Martens says.
Martens targets "crawdad rock," which includes chunk rock and baseball to softball size rocks. He also casts under the walkways leading to docks.
Prespawn Largemouth Patterns
"Channel swing banks that lead into a spawning pocket are where you'll catch the big females," Martens adds.
Crawdad rocks are also a key to catching prespawn largemouths at Smith Lake, Martens points out. The same lures that coax bites from spotted bass work on the largemouths. The wind, or lack of it, determines whether Martens opts for jerkbaits and crankbaits or bottom lures such as the shaky head worm, drop shot or jig.
"You can't sit in one place and load up on the spotted bass or the largemouths at Smith Lake," Martens points out. "After you figure out a pattern, stay on the move and pick the bass off one or two at a time."
Smith Lake's slot limit of 13-15 inches is bringing about larger bass. In order for the slot limit to work its magic, the Alabama Division of Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Division urges fishermen to keep any bass they catch less than 13 inches in length. The remaining bass grow bigger because there is less competition for a finite forage base.
Striped bass weighing over 40 pounds swim in Smith Lake. The preferred bait here is live shad. It is illegal to possess blueback herring in Alabama, so don't use them for bait. Smith Lake's stripers grow about 2 pounds per year, which means a 20-pound fish is 10 years old. Put Ryan Creek on your hit list. The stripers grow fatter there.
Not only has the Alabama Power Company improved the fishing at Smith Lake by providing habitat, they'll give you GPS coordinates to these sweet spots. Get the coordinates here: alabamapower.com/lakes/fishdata.asp.
Before you visit Smith Lake or any Alabama reservoir, go to alabamabasstrail.org. Here you'll find detailed information about nine lakes and two major river systems, including fishing locations, productive fishing patterns, local guides, campgrounds and where to stay.

Compound in Apples Inhibits E. coli O157:H7
A compound that is abundant in apples and strawberries inhibits the highly pathogenic E. coli O157:H7 biofilms while sparing a beneficial strain of E. coli that also forms biofilms in the human gut, according to a paper in the December 2011 issue of the journal Infection and Immunology.
Transcriptome analysis revealed that the compound, called phloretin, suppresses toxin and other genes involved in O157:H7 pathology and biofilm formation. And in a rat model of colitis, phloretin, reduced colon inflammation and body weight loss. "Phloretin has a triple biological activity as an antioxidant compound, a biofilm inhibitor, and an anti-inflammatory agent," says corresponding author Jintae Lee of Yeungnam University, Gyeongsan, Korea.
E. coli O157:H7 causes hemorrhages in the intestine. To date, no effective therapy for O157:H7 biofilms has been found. Biofilms generally are notoriously resistant to antimicrobial therapy. So in the study, Lee screened a dozen flavonoids, including phloretin, for their ability to inhibit these biofilms. "We found that phloretin markedly reduced E. coli O157:H7 biofilm formation on abiotic surface and human colon epithelial cells, while phloretin did not harm commensal E. coli K-12 biofilms," says Lee. Commensal E. coli can actually fortify the human immune system, he says.
In addition to its anti- E. coli O157:H7 biofilm activity, phloretin "accounts in part for the antioxidant capacity of apples, and it also shows anti-inflammatory activity," says Lee. "This study suggests that phloretin in apples could reduce the risk of E. coli

I love this film. Found my time to be 8 min at 68F in the WD2D+. The negs printed fine on grade 2. I just uploaded one of the prints into the critique gallery for your look/see.
After shooting a few negs this stuff is amazing (Efke 25). It has quickly become my favorite film, with Tri-X coming in second. I've been trying to get a handle on Bergger 200 without success. If I don't get better results by the time I finish my first box, it will be may last. Tried shoot it at 100 ISO and developed for 12 mins in the above soup and I the negs are too thin for my liking.

LOS ANGELES - Many of the pills marketed as safe herbal alternatives to Viagra and other prescription sex medications pose a hidden danger: For men on common heart and blood-pressure drugs, popping one could lead to a stroke, or even death.'All-natural' products with names like Stamina-RX and Vigor-25 promise an apothecary's delight of rare Asian ingredients, but many work because they contain unregulated versions of the very pharmaceuticals they are supposed to replace. That dirty secret represents a special danger for the millions of men who take nitrates - drugs prescribed to lower blood pressure and regulate heart disease. When mixed, nitrates and impotency pharmaceuticals can slow blood flow catastrophically, leading to a heart attack or stroke. An Associated Press investigation shows that spiked herbal impotency pills are emerging as a major public health concern that officials haven't figured out how to track, much less tame. Emergency rooms and poison control hot lines are starting to log more incidents of the long-ignored phenomenon. Sales of 'natural sexual enhancers' are booming - rising to nearly $400 million last year. And dangerous knockoffs abound. At greatest risk are the estimated 5.5 million American men who take nitrates - generally older and more likely to need help with erectile dysfunction. The all-natural message can be appealing to such men, warned by their doctors and ubiquitous TV commercials not to take Viagra, Cialis or Levitra. James Neal-Kababick, director of Oregon-based Flora Research Laboratories, said about 90 percent of the hundreds of samples he has analyzed contained forms of patented pharmaceuticals - some with doses more than twice that of prescription erectile dysfunction medicine. Other testers report similar results, particularly among pills that promise immediate results. While no deaths have been reported, the AP found records of emergency room visits attributed to all-natural sex pills in Georgia, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Diego and elsewhere. Mark B. Mycyk, a Chicago emergency room doctor who directs Northwestern University's clinical toxicology research program, said he is seeing increasing numbers of patients who unwittingly took prescription-strength doses of the alternatives, a trend he attributes to ease of purchase on the Internet and the desperation of vulnerable men. He said he wouldn't be surprised if there'd been undetected deaths from bad herbal pills. Some men in their 30s who went to emergency rooms after taking herbal sex pills were presumably otherwise healthy, but they showed the transitory side effects of the active ingredients in regulated impotency pharmaceuticals, such as difficulty seeing clearly or severe headaches, records show. While public health officials don't know the extent of the problem, they agree that incidents are vastly underreported.

The Guide Dog Puppy Story
There once was an adorable German Shepherd puppy who's name was "Thunder". Thunder was a Guide Dog puppy in training. We are what you call "Puppy Raisers". This means that we are volunteers who's job is to take a Guide Dog Puppy into our home at approximately eight weeks of age, and for the next 14 to 16 months it will receive love, basic obedience and socialization. At around eighteen months of age, we returned Thunder back to his school for evaluation. Then when he met the criteria they looked for, such as good health and even temperament, Thunder continued with formal guide dog training at the school for a period of four to six months. Upon completion of his formal training, he was carefully matched with a blind student, taking into consideration his or her lifestyle and environment. In addition, the personalities of student and guide dog, size, strength, pace and energy levels of each are matched to ensure a harmonious relationship. Find more on
fence to contain your dog
Public Exposure
Thunder always accompanied us when we went into restaurants, businesses, churches, shopping centers, etc. to learn and experience situations which will he encountered on a daily basis before he became a guide dog. As Puppy Raisers we provided the necessary care for his development as a future guide dog. When Thunder was working, as with our new pup, he proudly wore a special jacket or coat, that identified him and his mission and, in most cases, allowed him entry into areas that would otherwise be inadmissible to dogs.
Back to School
Yes, then the emotional day came when it was time to return Thunder back to school to finish his training for a four-month advanced program. At that point he was taught a variety of commands, such as, "find the table" or "walk to the elevator". He also learned left from right, forward from backward, and was taught what is called "intelligent disobedience." This means, if a dog is instructed to go forward but he sees danger ahead, he will not move until the danger has passed. After successfully completing this program, Thunder was then matched with his new human partner, and they went through a 28-day on-site training session. This is a very emotional moment when the dog and recipient first meet. The trainer hands the dog over to the recipient and describes the dog's breed, coloring, size, and personality. There are not many dry eyes in the house during this process.
A Final Thought...
The work as a puppy raiser is vital to any guide dog program. After all, someone has to provide a potential service dog with a loving home, as well as with socialization and basic obedience lessons, before the dog is old enough to go on to advanced training. Guide Dog organizations turn to puppy raising volunteers to provide for these puppies' many needs.
A good puppy raiser is flexible and relaxed, has a sense of humor, is creative, and enjoys talking to people and being out in the community. A good puppy raiser clearly understands the reason puppy raisers are so important and is capable of handling the emotional ups and downs that go with giving unconditional love to a puppy who will only be around for a little more than a year. The work of puppy raisers is deeply appreciated by those people receiving the dog that has grown from a silly wild puppy into a mature, responsible member of a team.

Latest news, analysis and links on UW football, basketball and other sports
RPI & SOS can only do so much
Wisconsin certainly has some nice peripheral numbers. The Badgers are:
- No. 36 in the CBSSports.com RPI with the third-toughest strength of schedule (SOS).
- No. 37 in CollegeRPI.com's RPI, also with a 3 SOS.
- No. 42 in USAToday's Sagarin Ratings.
However, it helps to, you know, actually win games. At 12-9 and riding a six-game losing streak, it's tough to find Wisconsin as team even being considered for the NCAA tournament on any of the vast predicted brackets around the web.
Joe Lunardi's Bracketology ... no Badgers.
SI.com's Andy Glockner's Seed Report ... no Badgers. Glockner does list UW in "others in consideration," however in his Bubble Report he isn't so keen on the Badgers' chances, writing "Wisconsin is in a ton of trouble after its losing skid reached six games and there's not nearly enough in the nonconference slate to offset that."
Yahoo.com's Brad Evans' Bracket Big Board ... no Badgers. And not even "on the bubble."
The Bracket Project ... no Badgers.
Bracketology 101 ... no Badgers, who were in last week but now aren't even listed among the last eight out.
Baselinestats.com ... no Badgers. Furthermore, the site says UW's "NCAA hopes are now on life support."
Bracket Predictions ... no Badgers, although they were on the list of others considered.
Howard Salwasser's Bracket Watch ... no Badgers. UW is not even under consideration among a plethora of teams.
Bracketography.com ... no Badgers - but UW is on the list of last four out.
Collegehoopsnet.com ... no Badgers.
Hmm, so, gee, think this Thursday's game against Illinois is kind of big? (Oh, and I'll be at the Kohl Center blogging it live) Not to mention at Penn State, then home against Iowa and Ohio State and at Indiana. How many of those does Wisconsin have to win? Usually I'd say 3-2 would be good enough, but now I think we're looking at 4-1.

Top 10 Milwaukee albums of 2012
From the subtle poetry of Field Report to the shaggy pop-rock of Jaill to the intense electronic beats of Lorn, these three acts - which all had albums released by record labels this year - displayed to locals and outsiders alike the diversity of Milwaukee music. Geography and originality are practically all they had in common.
"Field Report," Jaill's "Traps," and Lorn's "Ask the Dust" all made my top 10 Milwaukee album list this year, as did several self-releases that rivaled, and in many cases surpassed, albums with major-label support. In a just world, all of these artists would have record deals, and perhaps some day, their big break will come. In the meantime, they're ours to treasure. »Read Full Article
