Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
What might accelerate the development of cancer therapeutics? Three-dimensional scaffolds, according to researchers at Rice University, the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, and Mount Sinai Medical Center. Their porous polymer scaffolds were designed to support the growth of biological tissue for implantation, and were used to culture Ewing's sarcoma cells. The researchers say the scaffolds were effective at mimicking the environment in which such tumors develop.
"The scaffolds better recapitulate the microenvironment in which tumors grow, as compared with two-dimensional plastic surfaces typically used in cancer research to test anticancer drugs," says Rice bioengineer Antonios Mikos, Ph.D., who led the research team with Joseph Ludwig, M.D., an assistant professor and sarcoma medical oncologist at MD Anderson. They note that although monolayer cultures recapitulate some of the phenotypic traits observed clinically, they are limited in their ability to model the full range of microenvironmental cues, such as ones elicited by 3D cell–cell and cell–extracellular matrix interactions.
"We've been working to investigate how we can leverage our expertise in engineering normal tissues to cancerous tissues, which can potentially serve as a better predictor of anticancer drug response than standard drug-testing platforms," Dr. Mikos says.
By growing cancer cells within a three-dimensional scaffold rather than on flat surfaces, the team of researchers found that the cells bore closer morphological and biochemical resemblance to tumors in the body. Additionally, engineering tumors that mimic those in vivo offers opportunities to more accurately evaluate such strategies as chemotherapy or radiation therapies, he says.
Scaffolds fabricated in Dr. Mikos' lab facilitate the development and growth of new tissue outside the body for subsequent implantation to replace defective tissues. The team found 3D scaffolds to be a suitable environment for growing Ewing's sarcoma, the second most common pediatric bone malignancy. The tumor growth profile and protein expression characteristics were "remarkably unlike" those in 2D, Dr. Mikos comments.
They observed that Ewing sarcoma cells cultured in porous 3D electrospun poly(ε-caprolactone) scaffolds not only were more resistant to traditional cytotoxic drugs than were cells in 2D monolayer culture, but also exhibited remarkable differences in the expression pattern of the insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor/mammalian target of rapamycin pathway.
2D cultures may mask the mechanisms by which tumors develop resistance to anticancer therapeutics, they hypothesized, and "may lead to erroneous scientific conclusions that complicate our understanding of cancer biology," they write.
The researchers' next challenge is to customize scaffolds to more accurately match the actual conditions in which these tumors are found. "Tumors in vivo exist within a complex microenvironment consisting of several other cell types and extracellular matrix components," Dr. Mikos said. "By taking the bottom-up approach and incorporating more components to this current model, we can add layers of complexities to make it increasingly reliable.
"But we believe what we currently have is very promising," he says. "If we can build upon these results, we can potentially develop an excellent predictor of drug efficacy in patients."
Their research appears online this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in a paper titled "Modeling Ewing sarcoma tumors in vitro with 3D scaffolds".

All Nippon Airways' Dreamliner flight cancelled over brake parts
- From: AFP
- January 09, 2013
A BOEING Dreamliner flight by Japan's All Nippon Airways had to be cancelled because of a brake problem, an airport spokesman said, the third problem to hit the aircraft in as many days.
ANA 698 was cancelled because brake parts from the rear left undercarriage needed to be replaced, said the spokesman at Yamaguchi Ube airport in western Japan.
On Monday a Japan Airlines-operated 787 Dreamliner caught fire after landing in Boston on a flight from Tokyo. On Tuesday, Japan Airlines aborted a flight after around 150 litres of fuel spilled onto the runway.
The Dreamliner is touted as the great new hope for US manufacturer Boeing, which says its next-generation composite fibre body reduces weight and improves fuel efficiency.
But the string of incidents this week are only the latest in a series of glitches for the aircraft.
In July last year, test engine trouble was the subject of a probe by the US National Transportation Safety Board.
On July 23, Japan's All Nippon Airways said it was grounding five Dreamliners for repairs because of a defect in the Rolls-Royce engine.
In February, Boeing said around 55 Dreamliners were at risk of developing a fuselage problem.
Dow Jones Newswires reported that electrical problems prompted an emergency landing in New Orleans by a United Continental Dreamliner flight recently.
ANA, the first company to take delivery of a Dreamliner, began offering flights on the jet in October 2011.

We were in a room as far away from the lift as you could possibly be. Even so, it was a nice room and we finally had a double bed.
The bar actually had dry ginger ale so Anne tucked into some brandy.
The hotel is close to Ciampino Airport. We made a mistake in taking an airport shuttle. A taxi would have been much quicker nd about the same price.

Built on Oil, Banking on Design
By PATRICIA LEIGH BROWN
Published: October 16, 2003
BARTLESVILLE, Okla.— THIS year, darling, it's Bartlesville.
Ever since the turn of the last century, when wildcatters and outlaws flocked to what was then Indian Territory, ambition has grown like bluestem on the tallgrass prairie here. Fueled by money and audacity, local tycoons -- the Medicis of the prairie -- hired renegade architects like Frank Lloyd Wright and Bruce Goff to build some of the most eccentric structures in America, including houses with octagonal bedrooms and goose-feather ceilings. The most dazzling of all was the Price Tower, one of only two skyscrapers ever built by Wright, a thin, pinwheeling, cantilevered design with gold-tinted windows and copper fins that presides over this city of 36,000 with a strange totemic power.
Until this summer, when the tower was reinvented as a luxury 21-room hotel and restaurant with Chicken Taliesin on the menu, tourists clamoring for the ultimate Bartlesville experience had to content themselves with a visit to Woolaroc, the rustic country estate of the Phillips Petroleum founder, Frank Phillips, a place lousy with Russells and Remingtons where live ostriches and emus roam and the Steinway piano is swaddled in bark. But that was then: before the architect Zaha Hadid of London was selected to design a new 50,000-square-foot home for the Price Tower Arts Center, the nonprofit group that opened the hotel, and before ''Stay the Night With Frank Lloyd Wright'' became an official tourist mantra. As if to underscore the incipient Bartian architectural revival, last week ''Free Thought: The Art and Architecture of Bruce A. Goff'' opened at the center. Next to the Art Institute of Chicago, it is the country's largest repository of Goff material, including original drawings, paintings and architectural fragments from Shin'en Kan, a pièce de résistance of over-the-top residential architecture, which, in a loss still felt acutely here, was destroyed in an arson fire in 1993. The peripatetic Kansas-born Goff spent eight years designing here, ensconced in a Naugahyde-heavy duplex in the Price Tower with his cat Chiaroscuro.
As in Beverly Hills, where maps of movie stars' homes are a mainstay, Bartlesville is now distributing a ''drive-by'' map of its 12 remaining Goffs, including 10 homes with origamilike spaces, surrealistically poised in suburban neighborhoods with leaf blowers and circle driveways, recently toured by Ms. Hadid in stiletto-heeled thong boots.
With its new Frank Lloyd Wright hotel and Ms. Hadid on the horizon -- should the required $23 million be raised -- the powers that be are positioning Bartlesville as a Bilbao with chicken-fried steak. Ms. Hadid plans a boomerang-shaped cantilevered structure with a glass atrium that sets the Price Tower off like a diamond, ''flirting with, but not dominating, Wright,'' she said. It will house the center's permanent collection, including furniture and other artifacts from Wright and Goff, as well as a library and children's museum. The center also recently received a $20,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to research Wright's original executive offices and corporate apartment for H. C. Price, the pipeline magnate. The interiors on the 17th, 18th and 19th floors lie untouched as if in amber.
''You'll be sitting in a Zaha, viewing Goff plans and looking at Frank Lloyd Wright's only skyscraper,'' said Richard P. Townsend, 39, the center's executive director, speaking of his ambition to attract bicoastal design cognoscenti to Bartlesville. ''I won't say it's not a challenge. But look at the raw material.''
Even before you could buy a 3-D Bruce Goff viewfinder, Bartlesville was no ordinary community. Until last year, when Phillips Petroleum merged with Conoco and moved much of its operation to Houston, Bartlesville, 45 miles north of Tulsa, was Phillips's international headquarters, its downtown streets and buildings named for various Phillipses. The company's legacy includes thousands of wealthy retirees and a tradition of civic largesse, including a ballet company, a Mozart festival and a performing arts center designed by William Wesley Peters, Wright's son-in-law. ''It was a paternalistic company town, where Phillips was called Uncle Frank,'' said Mr. Townsend, who lives in ''an ascetic Goff,'' as he calls it.
Since oil prices collapsed in the mid-1980's, Bartlesville has been trying to diversify, most recently through architectural tourism. ''They didn't want to be a one-company town where the reason for being ceases to exist,'' Mr. Townsend said.
Incorporated in what was then known as Indian Territory in 1897, the same year the Nellie Johnstone, the area's first commercial oil well, gushed oil, Bartlesville was a rough-and-tumble magnet for outlaws, pipecats and wildcatters, and later, engineers, geophysicists and financiers. Price, who arrived in 1915, was a chemist who invented ways to use electricity to weld oil tanks and pipelines. After numerous failures, he founded the company that would eventually build the transcontinental pipeline across Canada and the one across Alaska, among others. Price's two sons attended Goff's lectures at the University of Oklahoma, and in 1951, at their suggestion, Price hired Wright, who later designed two houses for the family, to build his office tower. (Goff had put Wright forward for the job, who repaid him by trying to sabotage a major commission.)

Ann Andreoni, RN, DNP, PNP-BC, a pediatric nurse practitioner and faculty member at the Loyola University Chicago Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing, earned the American Nurses Associations Immunity Award for her initiative to raise immunization rates and educate the public about the benefits of protection against vaccine-preventable diseases.
The national award is part of the Bringing Immunity to Every Community project, a partnership between ANA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to maximize nurses roles in increasing vaccination rates and reducing incidence of diseases, according to a news release. The project seeks to increase nurses knowledge and competency in immunization, encourage nurses to be vaccinated and position nurses as leading advocates for immunization.
According to the release, Andreoni has served as a role model for nursing students by demonstrating how advocacy and planning can result in a successful community intervention. While working in her clinical practice at a health center based at Proviso East High School in Maywood, Ill., Andreoni designed, implemented and evaluated a pilot program to provide a free seasonal influenza vaccine to children and a low-cost vaccine for staff in three elementary schools in communities near the high school.
With assistance from school-based health clerks, Andreoni and her nursing students met with parents during parent-teacher conferences and arranged individual meetings to help them learn about the immunization program, answer questions and concerns about the safety of vaccinations and seek written consent for their children to be immunized. Educational materials were developed in English and Spanish. According to the release, more than 350 students received the seasonal influenza vaccination.

I like to use events and albums from iPhoto as my screensavers. Lately, only some events and albums show up when I go into preferences>screensavers. If I go out and come back in, most will then show, but once I choose an event or album it doesn't reliably show up when the screensaver should start. I get message that folder is empty of pictures and to choose a different one. Suggestions?
I would verify that your iPhoto library is fully intact. To do this:
You'll be presented with a Rebuild Photo Library window. I would check the following options:

Simple Definition of pratfall
: a sudden fall in which you end up sitting on the ground
: an embarrassing mistake or accident
Examples of pratfall in a sentence
He slipped and took a pratfall into the mud.
Did You Know?
The human posterior has been given a number of designations over the centuries, some not acceptable in polite company. "Prat," a slang term with only slightly indecorous overtones, has been used in reference to the backside since the 16th century. It wasn't until the 1930s, however, that falling on one's prat gave rise to the term "pratfall." The word first cropped up in the lingo of comedy theater, where a pratfall is often part of a slapstick routine. It wasn't long before we gave the word its extended sense of "blunder." Now, with "prat" rarely used as a synonym of "derriere" anymore, "pratfall" is as apt to suggest getting a pie in the face as landing bang on one's behind.
Origin and Etymology of pratfall
argot prat buttocks + fall
First Known Use: 1930
Rhymes with pratfall

Just ...
Just bad, bad, bad PR and toxic HR it seems.
You pay your money and you wear your knife.
I have a Sog Twitch XL for EDC that I bought before I was aware of the story, many here would chastise me for that. I just hope that one day Sog makes amends on their rotten behavior.

Ya I can honestly say it is hard to break their blades. I know, I broke three of them when I mailed them back to the company pres after he refused on several attempts to get him to appologize for his companies actions.
Great blades, but not a chance in pergatory will I ever give them a dime of my money.
"Respect all ... Fear none!!!
I'd like to throw in my two cents here.
Now, the following comments are simply my opinion and ideas only. Don't hold me accountable if they don't work favorably for you.
These days, as we all know by the news frenzy over killings and such, a person should always take self-defense as a must. A person should be ready for anything and be constantly aware. Awareness is the principle and best self-defense tactic that exists.
Now, there comes a time when a person's awareness is not enough. There comes a time when action must be taken to defend one's self or defend the life of another.
This is quite a sticky topic and quickly falls into the area of controversial and political correctness which both make me ill. So, I intend to be blunt here.
There are a slew of laws governing knives and anything that can be used as a weapon. Law enforcement officers can utilize these laws to keep the public safe. Now understand cops have personalities and emotions. At times, even the most professional of cops becomes emotional during the practice of duties. So, be polite, courteous and respectful when dealing with law enforcement and he may not pull out a ruler and measure your pocket knife. Cop an attitude, and I assure you, you'll loose regardless of what you carry.
With the above things in mind, be wise. If you carry a knife, do not flaunt it. Do not remove it in public. If you pull out a menacing pair of finger nail clippers in this day in time, you'll have fruit loops screeching and running about like headless chickens. So, be discreet with any knife you carry, regardless of the length of the blade.
When carrying your knife. Stay out of trouble and do not draw attention. A weapon is a huge responsibility. Again, do not flaunt it. The fact that you have a knife on your person (again, regardless of blade length) means that you must obey laws and rules. Do not stand out, show off or trim your fingernails in public. DO not go into bars and drink. That is the lowest level of ignorance. You may be able to handle your alcohol, but we live in a world full of people who can't. You get into a squabble with someone and get busted, the cops find that knife of yours, you go to jail for it, I promise you that. Tell nobody that you carry this knife, even your trusted friends. This is your responsibility. It's not to show off or brag about.
If the dung hits the fan, you have your knife. I would rather face a trial for defending myself than spend the rest of my life breathing out of a tube because I was unarmed. Be prepared to face public frenzy if you ever have to defend yourself. Be prepared to loose to a system that lacks common-sense and embraces a soft approach to crime. Prepare yourself to hear sympathy for the "victim" that assaulted you to begin with. Again, if you have your self-defense knife, you get to live.
Ok enough of my long winded blurb.. my recommendation for a good knife under thre inches and under $50.00
I like The Kershaw K.O. Storm. Model # K1470ST
And for a good carry knife WARNING may not suit all laws
I prefer the Cold Steel Recon 1 series. They run at the $75 range and the blade is about 4" long. But it's a perfect, discreet carry knife.
Good Luck,
My family has law enforcement and military on both sides. I agree with what you said. I am considering getting a 4 inch blade folder. I have been so busy with career move prep, starting my side business, etc. I have not looked at the current line up in the knife world lately. I am aiming in the $100.00 range approximately (or even less is better yet).
Any suggestions?

This is a GREAT pizza dough...but keep in mind the nutrition information is for the crust only!Submitted by: BLUEYEDMOMMA4
I worked for months and months to perfect a whole wheat pizza dough, and I think I've finally found it. We love it, love it, love it! This makes enough dough for two large pizzas. We normally use one, freeze the other. To use the frozen one, thaw on the counter and then place in off oven on a pizza pan. Pour a recently boiled kettle of water in a roasting pan under the dough and close the oven. The warm, moist air reproofs the frozen dough.Submitted by: MIGHTYFINEWINE

A classic Neapolitan pizza dough recipe, meant for baking at extremely high temperatures (800+ degrees). It works in home ovens and on the grill, but really shines when the pizza is made in 90 seconds in a wood fired oven!This recipe will make four dough balls, four thin crust pizzas. I cut each pizza into eight slices, hence the 32 servings. The slices are smaller than the big slices you get from a take-out joint.Submitted by: MODTHYRTH

Fat-free and tasty. A family favorite.Submitted by: DORIGIRL
This recipe makes four thin crust pizza crusts each serving 4 people or if you prefer thicker crust just double the nutritional value and make two thick crusts instead. Rolled into a ball and placed into a plastic freezer storage bags it freezes easily and can be kept in the fridge overnight. If frozen just lay out on your counter top in the morning and by the time you come home in the evening your dough is ready and waiting to be rolled out and topped.No more excuses for paying to much money for greasy pizza.

This makes enough for 8 mini pizzas or a big 16 incher.

The Western world is united in efforts to prevent Iran from enriching uranium to weapons-grade level and creating nuclear weapons. Sanctions are being ratcheted up and Iran's financial sector is increasingly isolated. In the current (July-August) issue of Foreign Affairs, Kenneth Waltz offers a contrary view, "Why Iran Should Get the Bomb"; he argues that this is "most likely to restore stability to the Middle East."A balance-of-power political scientist, Waltz believes that instability in the ME derives from "Israel's regional nuclear monopoly, which has proved remarkable durable for the past four decades, has long fueled instability in the Middle East. In no other region of the world does a lone unchecked nuclear state exist. It is Israel's nuclear arsenal, not Iran's desire for one, that has contributed most to the current crisis. Power, after all, bets to be balanced. What is surprising about the Israeli case is that is has taken so long for a potential balancer to emerge."The number of debatable points in that paragraph and the fact that he doesn't seriously discuss proliferation if Iran gets the bomb (e.g., Turkey, Sauda Arabia, Iraq), shouldn't deter us from considering the possibility--especially given the alternative of an attack by the U.S., the fall-out from increasingly harsh sanctions, and, that fact that Foreign Affairs published the article, suggests that the FP establishment is thinking about this. Foreign Affairs [1] (pdf for purchase, $2.95, or visit your dentist!)Stephen M. Walt [2]comments on the article on his blog.

Hello there,
I saw something similar in the forum, but where??? and not followed. So, i try to follow.
What do you think about an import tool to catch the Audacity > Analyze > Beat Finder... (or others),
who "attempts to place labels at beats which are much louder than the surrounding audio".
Labels that can be imported/exported in audacity, the code who do that seems to be here :
near line 1988 /// Import labels, handling files with or without end-times.
void LabelTrack::Import(wxTextFile & in)....
-#- this feature could be usefull for people who work with subtitle files.
and so, could be logical if guides can be imported to export them back.
-#- this can also respond to question like this :
cause guides are sticky, and numerous beat strict file can be created with audacity easily and then used.
-#- following my brainstorm,
in the import guides box, what about color selector, cause of people who want now beat information in green and others guides in other colors....
my best electronics salutations
(and greets to all the kdenlive pushers!)
Fri, 07/20/2012 - 22:45
Sounds like a nice feature!
Also I think it would be a good idea to be able to place repeating guides at a certain BPM, synced with a music track. This would allow us to make music videos (or similar clips) where you could switch to a new picture every beat.
It could work as this: Place a start guide at a beat, select how long (in time, or in number of beats) the guides should span, and then kdenlive code would do the rest to place the guides. What do you think?

This is the recipe my mom always made. The only difference is that her's called for 1 Tablespoon of Lawry's. My family insists this must be on the menu at every family gathering. My mother always garnished the finished ball with a sprig of parsley and a maraschino cherry. Made a festive presentation at Christmas time. This makes a great gift for neighbors on a plate surrounded with crackers.
I have made this exact recipe many times. I substitute Mrs. Dash or one of my homemade salt-free seasoning blends for the seasoned salt. Do not make this with fat free cream cheese. I had to serve that snafu in a bowl with a spoon. This recipe is delicious. Jenni NW IN

Amazon Cites Steve Jobs To Have Apple's 'App Store' Lawsuit Thrown Out
Amazon.com today officially responded to Apple's lawsuit over the name "app store." Calling the March 18 court filing baseless, the online retailer is using Steve Jobs' own words to get the case thrown out, in news first reported by GeekWire.

In this video tutorial I show how to place TWO Videos side by side on a static background with the Track Motion Tool, using Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 10.
By repeating the process that I teach in the video tutorial, you can add another two extra layers so that you end up with four videos in each corner of the screen.

I'm on the latest Ubuntu. I want to try out dvorak keyboard layout. To do so, I thought it would help to have an image of that keyboard floating on top of all the other windows (but able to drag it around). Is there some way to do something like this easily?
I could just grab an image somewhere of it, but how to make it visible always on top and movable?
Update: I discovered that you can do this from the keyboard layout control but it's huge and I can't figure out a way to make it smaller. And all the extra characters (4 on each key) is distracting. So... I'm still looking for a solution with the added criteria that it doesn't take up half the screen and either I can use an image of my choice, or it has fewer characters marked on each key.

Sorry I asked a question and ran. The termite inspection caught me in the middle. That's a lot of info to absorb and I can't answer some of your questions till Thursday when we do the new inspection. But thanks, now I'll know what to ask about the Koi.
WTF! Jewish holidays are over I thought, hope Mark is OK.
I will stick around for a bit...but...I was HOPING for some asskicking commentary on the Syrian crap...AND on the Bikers not getting a permit in DC crap.......Oh well.....
The good news is...all of you FRiends are here :-)
live NFL in 30 minutes
Brian Sussman said he'd be back tonight I thought.
Barry 0bummer was elected by the color of his skin, not by the content of his character.
Jet lag?
Iggles Skins Baby!
prolly...his kids live in Ca so he prolly stayed and played
Vkiings did what they always do on Sunday.....CHOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Packers werent much better....!!
Guess these teams need to draft more felons LMAO
we leaked BUT...we gotem a quarterback baby !!!!!
Best of?
News to me... I can't find it on his site. Didn't hear it announced. Don't know for a fact. Dog ate my homework. The bus was late. It was a hurricane. A bomb went-off at the train station. The airport was closed due to a blizzard. My car was out of gas...
I'm listening anyway. I always learn something from the show.
Vikings...the biggest men in clothes yet....no trophys
He's your leader?
I don't get how he can let his kids live in Kalifornia.
Im going to order some Washington Redskins crappolla to wear...just to piss off Liberals in MN. (I am still POd that the "politically correct, and morally bankrupt arseholes" are having a SNIT about the North Dakota Fighting Sioux Hell, the Sioux nation was in North Dakota long before the liberal turds were——but I digress.
still a worthless punk
WHich is why we need more Mick Tinglehoffs and Fran Tarkentons and fewer "Daunte's and Andres and whatever other ghetto names they are using these days....OOPS! Was that racist? Damn the bad luck!!/s
That's a bit harsh. Lots of folks enjoy his show.
AMEN and DITTO!
you are smoking a cigarette in a gun power closet F'n around here punk
someone wake me up when the JR sycophant and yammering idiot leaves. Until then, I will be over there————————>
No problem. If you have any questions, just ask.
It IS a Best of Show... I'm surprised it wasn't announced on his site.
If something had happened, it'd make the news; count on it. Yom Kippur is Fri-Sat; Rosh Hashanah is over.
Oh my. I'm sure that must be dire indeed.
I'll have Rachel Jeantel translate it and get back to you.
"Duck Dynasty" bump!
when you come here and attack Biggirl you attack an honest, reverent, classic freeper. A legend in this lore.
go to hell punk
One has to wonder if he has always been this cranky, or if it has just hapopened as a result of that unfortunate premature ejaculation incident.................../s
All over the fact that I asked a simple and obvious question.
Freak out some more, it's funny as hell.
You sister was suppose to have explained that to you.
It would appear that one of JRs sycophants is attempting to disrupt this thread. I refuse to play with the child—but it is sad when one of the arsekissers is turning off FR regulars to FR! Oh well............Catch you all later.
ditto I will not put up with him or FR for protecting him
Missed first 5 - 10 minutes (change batteries in clock!). I assume he will talk about the extravaganza tomorrow night.
Hope I didn't miss it but I can pick it up on marklevinshow.com later, it so.
I've got my blaster, with the appropriate noises, planned for the speech. Hope it doesn't blow out my batteries.

The First Ever 12th Annual World's Shortest St. Patrick's Day Parade has a few more surprises up its sleeves. Not only have they gotten NASCAR driver Mark Martin to lead this year's parade, but they are altering the route slightly to make him feel more at home. For the first time ever, Hot Springs St Patrick's Day Parade will make it a point to turn left. This means the marking of the parade route that traditionally happens at 6:25pm will be more interesting than ever.
Plus, this year there is a free concert after the parade ends. At 7:30pm you can see the Swon Brothers, famously tied to Blake Shelton's team when they were on The Voice, as they bring country music to the celebration. They are nominated for the Vocal Duo of the year by the Academy of Country Music, and they have been touring with Brad Paisley since January. They are sure to be a delight for all ages!
The parade has also adopted its own mascot, and he'll be keeping the crowd in the right spirit throughout the race. Be sure to get to the parade spot early so you can see all the action. The Blarney Stone kissing contest starts at 4:30pm, special guests start performing at 5:30pm, and the Swon Brothers will kick off the parade (with Mark Martin at the lead) at 6:30.
There are only a few rooms left at Lookout Point for parade week, and we would love to share our favorite moments of the event with you. You can enjoy a gourmet breakfast in the morning and rejuvenate in a luxurious bed in the evening. Reserve your room online or call 501.525.6155 for more information.

A great power is on the rise within the archipelago of Maremundi, threatening to bring about a war between the gods that is sure to destroy all of civilization.

DnD Saga: High Seas Part 1.0The room was abuzz with anticipation. Voices and laughter filled the cramped dorm room as the group settled for their first session of play. Connor, sitting in the hammock-like mushroom chair with his laptop on his lap, spoke animatedly with James, who rested on the floor with papers spread about him. Savannah stood at the desk, adjusting the audio settings on the video call with the final member of their group, Kevin, who could not be physically present. After testing the clarity of her computer's mic and speakers, she joined James on the floor in view of Kevin's vantage point from the corner of the desk. Lastly Hasten, their Dungeon Master, sat at the second desk across from Kevin with his laptop open and notebooks resting across its keyboard, perched beneath the shade of the bed that belonged to Savannah's roommate, which was lofted to mirror her own bed that sheltered her desk. He took a moment to make final preparations for tonight's session; months of s

DnD Saga: High Seas Part 2.0Voices and laughter clambered over each other as the group settled in for the second session of play. The players stepped over legs and papers to resume their usual places on the floor and in chairs; two more places were occupied this time, making for a much more crowded circle in the cramped dorm room. The first spot was now taken by Kevin, who had been able to be physically present for this session. The second, on the floor across from James, had been filled by Andrew, whose character would be joining the ragtag group of sailors.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Pompe Disease
What Is Pompe Disease?
If you or your child has Pompe disease, it's important to know that each case is different, and that doctors have treatments to help manage it.
Pompe disease happens when your body can't make a protein that breaks down a complex sugar, called glycogen, for energy. Too much sugar builds up and damages your muscles and organs.
Pompe disease causes muscle weakness and trouble breathing. It mostly affects the liver, heart, and muscles. You might hear Pompe disease called by other names such as GAA deficiency or type II glycogen storage disease (GSD).
Although it can happen to anyone, it's more common in African-American people and some Asian groups.
You get Pompe disease from your parents. To get it, you have to inherit two flawed genes, one from each parent.
You can have one gene and not have symptoms of the disease.
What symptoms you have, when they start, and how much trouble they are can be very different for different people.
A baby between a few months old and age 1 has early-onset, or infantile, Pompe disease. This could look like:
- Trouble eating and not gaining weight
- Poor head and neck control
- Rolling over and sitting up later than expected
- Breathing problems and lung infections
- Enlarged and thickening heart or heart defects
- Enlarged liver
- Enlarged tongue
If you're older when symptoms start -- as late as an adult in your 60s -- it's known as late-onset Pompe disease. This type tends to move slowly, and it doesn't usually involve your heart. You might notice:
- Feeling weak in the legs, trunk, and arms
- Shortness of breath, a hard time exercising, and lung infections
- Trouble breathing while you sleep
- A big curve in your spine
- Enlarged liver
- Enlarged tongue that makes it hard to chew and swallow
- Stiff joints
Getting a Diagnosis
Many symptoms are similar to other medical conditions. To help figure out what's going on, your doctor may ask:
- Do you feel weak, fall often, or have trouble walking, running, climbing stairs, or standing up?
- Do you have a hard time breathing, especially at night or when you lie down?
- Do you get headaches in the morning?
- Are you often tired during the day?
- When you were a child, what kinds of health problems did you have?
- Does or did anyone else in your family have troubles like these, too?

Emergency personnel train in medical airlift procedures
Published: Friday, April 23, 2010 at 11:27 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 23, 2010 at 11:27 a.m.

Mountain Area Medical Airlift, the air ambulance service of Mission Hospitals, spent the afternoon with emergency personnel from Mills River Fire Department, Henderson County Sheriff's Department and Henderson County Emergency Medical Services.
Photo Galleries
Staff from the hospital's marketing department photographed and videotaped a mock emergency scene to be used in an upcoming TV spot.
All the agencies involved also used this time to sharpen the skills that are needed anytime MAMA is requested to transport a seriously ill or injured patient.
"It's important to have good working relationships with all of our emergency service partners working together on projects like this helps us all provide faster patient care and ultimately our patients benefit from being moved from the accident scene to the trauma center quicker," according to Johnny Grindstaff, supervisor of Air Medical Services at Mission.
Grindstaff also went on to say "every second we can shave off of a patient transport through good communications, safe landing zones and practicing standard operating procedures can make a difference in a life."
"All of Western North Carolina is very fortunate to have the MAMA Helicopter Program which is located at Mission Hospital. In the Mills River Fire District, we have always strived to provide the highest level of patient care possible to those injured or ill. In doing so, we have utilized the services of the MAMA program many times for critically injured or ill patients" said Mills River Fire Department Chief Rick Livingston.
MAMA operates two helicopters: One based at Mission Hospital's in Asheville and the other based at the Angel Medical Center in Franklin. Since it's inception in 1986, MAMA has been in service 24 hours a day, averages 3-4 flights each day and covers the 17 western most counties in North Carolina along with areas of Eastern Tennessee, upstate South Carolina and No

Borate Minerals and Origin of the RNA World

The RNA World is generally thought to have been an important link between purely prebiotic (>3.7 Ga) chemistry and modern DNA/protein biochemistry. One concern about the RNA World hypothesis is the geochemical stability of ribose, the sugar moiety of RNA. Prebiotic stabilization of ribose by solutions associated with borate minerals, notably colemanite, ulexite, and kernite, has been proposed as one resolution to this difficulty. However, a critical unresolved issue is whether borate minerals existed in sufficient quantities on the primitive Earth, especially in the period when prebiotic synthesis processes leading to RNA took place. Although the oldest reported colemanite and ulexite are 330 Ma, and the oldest reported kernite, 19 Ma, boron isotope data and geologic context are consistent with an evaporitic borate precursor to 2400-2100 Ma borate deposits in the Liaoning and Jilin Provinces, China, as well as to tourmaline-group minerals at 3300–3450 Ma in the Barberton belt, South Africa. The oldest boron minerals for which the age of crystallization could be determined are the metamorphic tourmaline species schorl and dravite in the Isua complex (metamorphism between ca. 3650 and ca. 3600 Ma). Whether borates such as colemanite, ulexite and kernite were present in the Hadean (>4000 Ma) at the critical juncture when prebiotic molecules such as ribose required stabilization depends on whether a granitic continental crust had yet differentiated, because in its absence we see no means for boron to be sufficiently concentrated for borates to be precipitated.
