The truth finally comes out: Iran halted its nuclear weapons development in 2003. Flash! The truth just got a little 'truer'. Suddenly, we go from an emergency-lead-up-to-bombing-Iran footing to an "it-was-all-just-a-false-alarm" (except maybe they might still do it, so we need to be ready to bomb them anyway) footing.
Is it just me, or has this gone from already alarming now to an emergency need to remove Mr. Bush et al from office ASAP?
This kind of display of malfeasance, disguised as another routine intelligence gathering mistake, makes one cringe and wonder what kind of a man this is that we have at the helm with his itchy trigger finger on the nuclear button, who, in his psychosis seems to be a hair's breath away from creating minimally a "national terrorism emergency" and possibly World War III? A lot of us keep wondering when he will declare himself generalissimo and dictator for as long as he shall deem necessary?
This morning I saw the "President"'s news conference in which the question was asked 'how can the US have any credibility left after the recent saber rattling, in light of this new evidence of no weapons program?" Mr. Bush had the effrontery to, with a straight face, claim that it was HIS reforms of the intelligence community which made the CIA finally able to tell the truth and come clean with this knowledge and give the American public its 'right to know'.
I couldn't believe it. I thought "my God what a lying, floor-flushing sack of stuff this guy is. Just a few days ago he was on his hobby horse bucking up and down just screaming like a chimp readying itself for a raiding party, calling, screaming for Iran to be threatened with bombing, to be sanctioned...oh it was a BIG FAT emergency just two weeks ago...but now, he says " good work fellas...ya wuz able to tell we didn't have no emergency 'cuz I reformed you and made you able to finally pony up the truth about this here lack of emergency...yup, yup"
How stupid does he think the public is? I guess pretty stupid. After all, we elected him TWICE, knowing he was a lying, prevaricating, sociopathic, blameshifing, jingoist war-mongering piece of work...51 percent of our moronic population re-elected this man.Can you imagine? RE means TWICE. Well, first time he was appointed by the Supreme Court. But in any case, I guess Mr. Bush is spending his political capital and feels authorized to insult our communal intelligence, such as it is, whatever is left among the American public.
The only slightly comforting fact is that almost half of us DIDN'T vote for this chimpanzee. But that is scant comfort, a broken country and a few trillion dollars in debt later. And the damage just keeps on piling up, seeing we will all of us, guilty or not, be paying forever the national debt and paying for the harm this liar is doing on all fronts to our economy, our country, our people, our reputation (what's left of it) and our ability to do anything but evil in the world. When a true emergency comes along, nobody in the international community will believe us anymore.
Bush/Cheney cried 'wolf wolf war war' too many times and killed over a million people in a trumped up war to boot. But that was just "an intelligence failure' (wasn't Bush Administration's fault, it was that stupid ol' CIA)....I want to let out a primal scream: GAAAWWWWDDD! Why is this idiot still in office?
Someone should thank God and the courageous journalists who allowed this new, truer truth to come to light. Thank heaven above for whatever CIA whistleblower let this story out. If it had been up to Bush/Cheney war-monger cabal, the public never would have known about this latest version of the official facts. These war-cowboys would have continued to make the case to bomb Iran, had they had their way.
If this doesn't tell you that something is seriously amiss in this Administration, I don't know what will. Somebody ought to take the Bush administration, lock-stock-n-barrel by the scruff of the neck and hand them over to a war crimes tribunal in the Hague, just like what was done to Milosevic of Serbia; just hand them over for prosecution.
The US should not be in the grip of this rogue president and vice president with their continual lies and saber rattling.
The Tokyo-Rose mainstream media is just treating this as a 'blip on the radar screen' instead of the screaming headlines about presidential lying and war-drum-beating. The press seems to want to cover this up and put the public back to sleep as soon as possible.
Someone please tell me why this jackass president hasn't been impeached, including the hand-rubbing, sidewinder, 'Evil Dick Cheney' to boot. And Karl Rove as a bonus should be called out of his revisionist retirement to be called on the carpet too.
Why are we still wasting a million dollars a minute on the national debt with no end to more wsste on the Iraq war in sight? What are these villains still doing in office?
Which part of our mafioso, one-world-government-Bildeberger power elite is protecting and directing these idiots in their efforts to bust our country down to the ground?
Who are the captains of power, traitors all, who continue put oresidential puppets Bush/Cheney up to this kind of skullduggery?

On paper, the Canon EF-S 17-85mm promises to be the perfect general-purpose lens for owners of Canon DSLRs with compatible mounts. The longer 5x optical range is far more useful than the 3x range of the popularly bundled EF-S 18-55mm kit lens, especially at the telephoto end, and the Image Stabilisation features are genuinely useful. As such the 17-85mm seems ideal for anyone who wants to upgrade from a bundled 18-55mm, or who needs a versatile option for a new EF-S body alone.
In practice though, the Canon EF-S 17-85mm is a slightly mixed bag. On the upside,
the range is considerably more useful than the basic 3x of the 18-55mm, squeezing
in fractionally more at the wide angle end, and offering far more scope at the
telephoto. Now you really can get closer to subjects and produce decent-looking
portraits with a nice small depth of field.
On the downside though there are several optical issues to be aware of, at least on the version we tested. Vignetting / light fall off is always going to be an issue with very wide lenses, but rarely have we actually seen it so obviously through the viewfinder and on images. Stopping down the aperture hardly made any difference at the 17mm end, and the only way to truly eliminate the dark corners was to zoom-in slightly. See our Gallery for examples.
Revealingly the humble EF-S 18-55mm also out-performed it in some of our tests, delivering sharper corner results at wide angle and open apertures, not to mention more useful macro close-up facilities.
Then there's the fact it's an EF-S lens which will never work on a full-frame body, which could prove to be a limited investment if you have your eye on a serious upgrade in the future. We also feel it could have been optically faster for the price, and that Canon's continued practice of not including the lens hood on non-L lenses is just plain tight.
Indeed one surprising outcome of this test is just how good value the 18-55mm looks compared to the 17-85mm. This popularly bundled kit lens may have basic build quality and specification, but it's small, light, performs surprisingly well and best of all is cheap, cheap, cheap.
But then the 18-55mm has a short zoom ratio, not to mention a slow and quite audible focusing mechanism which rotates the front element, thereby infuriating users of polarising filters. In contrast the EF-S 17-85mm has fast and quiet internal USM focusing, superior build quality, Image Stabilisation and of course, a far more useful zoom range.
Ultimately if you can accept its optical issues and the fact it will only ever work on EF-S compatible bodies, there's a lot going for the Canon 17-85mm. It's far from perfect and arguably over-priced, but none-the-less remains one of the best general purpose lenses for owners of Canon EF-S compatible bodies; as such it misses out on our top rating, but still comes Recommended.
UPDATE: we have now tested the Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM lens and compared it against the three lenses here using our latest charts. Visit our Canon EF-S 17-55mm review for the latest results. To see how these lenses also compare on an EOS 400D / XTi body, see our latest Canon lens group test.

Ironic Demographics: Brooklyn Is Dying
Posted May 7, 2014
Keywords: Arts & Culture, brooklyn, changing demographics, Demographics, gentrification, Housing, Communications & Messaging, Conservation & Recreation, Training & Education, Urban Planning, Populace, Transportation, Economy, Urbanism, Policy
"Brooklyn Is Dying" could refer to the disappearing culture gentrified out of the neighborhood. Instead, I have in mind demographic statistics suggesting decline. Daniel Kay Hertz, "Brooklyn Is Getting Poorer":
I recently ran across a post from data-crunching blog extraordinaire Xenocrypt, which noted that from 1999 to 2011, median household income in Brooklyn fell from $42,852 to $42,752. That's not a huge drop, obviously, but when you consider that the national median income rose over the same period from about $50,000 to $56,000, it's not at all a stretch to say that the borough is falling behind, economically. Moreover, if you map (as Xenocrypt did) the borough's neighborhoods by change in median income, you get a really striking picture … which is that, indeed, a good three-fifths or so of Brooklyn is actually getting poorer. Have you read any articles about that? No, I will wager that you have not. Neither have I. I strongly suspect that is because they don't exist – at least not in any outlet that might be considered mainstream.
Brooklyn isn't gentrifying. Brooklyn is dying. Not only is income declining, so are real estate prices. The supposed housing constraints for a city or even a borough aren't having the expected impact on most neighborhoods.
Hertz refrains from making too much of the data dump: "I have nothing particularly intelligent to say about this … except that it's maybe the most dramatic example I've seen yet of just how limiting our fixation on gentrification is."
This is a job for theory. The supply and demand model does a poor job of explaining Brooklyn's variant geography. Marxists are better equipped to make sense of the landscape, linking global forces with neighborhood change. Some parts of Brooklyn are globalizing. Most neighborhoods aren't.
Marx helps us connect the global with the local, the hyperlocal. Geography fills in the rest. Getting priced out of "Brooklyn" has ironic consequences. Why is anyone priced out of New York City when there are affordable neighborhoods aplenty?
"The middle class is not priced out of the city, but priced out of neighborhoods," [Seth Pinsky (who ran the city's Economic Development Corporation under de Blasio's predecessor Michael Bloomberg)] said at a breakfast panel hosted by advisory and accounting firm EisnerAmper and Bloomberg last Thursday. "While it's true that some neighborhoods have become unaffordable, others have become more attractive. I think that's a good thing.
You go where you know. Yes, the rational choice is a cheaper neighborhood. For many displaced Brooklynites, the landing spot might be the next borough over, or Reading, Pennsylvania, or back home to East Lansing, Michigan. The result is demand piling up in a few spots with ample inexpensive supply sometimes a few blocks away, off the mental map.
There's no place like home. On one hand, we have the economics of shelter. On the other, we have the politics of home. The gentrification debate is about the politics of home, not the economics of shelter. See Brooklyn.

Our Favorite Stories
Hi Jacque – I just wanted to share with you that we had our first session on Monday, 9/22. From the KPIF team perspective we loved it! With AEP closing in on us and so much to do, the team and I are strapped for time. I asked them if they felt it was a worthwhile time investment to have them out of the field and I received a unanimous YES. They are all looking forward to the next session. Thank you for setting us up for the KPIF team.
I really like ShareLingo classes because I work with a different person each week, so I get to practice with people who are at different levels, and who have different accents. It's the only class I've ever seen like this!

"Art making is a form of alchemy, in a way, because you are trying…to make gold from nothing. When it works very well is when you manage to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary."
"I trained as a painter—and I used to draw from the nude, like most people. But then I got really politicized and started to question why I had to do nudes and I started making work about perestroika. But the world was changing, the Cold War was coming to an end, and I didn't know quite what the implications of that would be."

The Real Housewives of Miami : Season 1

Mixed: 1 out of 7
Negative: 4 out of 7
The dynamics of the show seem different enough that "Housewives" fans will want to give Miami a try. But we'll have to see if the plot lines will sustain interest.
After viewing the first episode of the franchise's seventh(!) series, you'll no doubt be left asking: Where are the catfights? Where's the mouthy gal? Where's the table flipping? None of that is here...yet. But remember how Housewives works: The first few episodes in any new city tend to be about getting to know the ladies.
The "Real Housewives" formula is feeling stale. The louche locations all seem to blend into one another, and every kitchen is the same, with acres of space and double-wide Sub-Zero refrigerators that seem to hold enough food for an Olympic swim team.
Here, with no force of personality, the format is just a congress of faux-fabulous. [28 Feb 2011, p.39]
At the very least, you'd think the Miami edition of this franchise would have some striking pastel visuals. But even the look, alas, is no brighter than the content.
The Real Housewives Of Miami is even more egregiously fake than the average reality show, so much so that the producers haven't even bothered to remove bloopers in which cast members forget what day it's supposed to be.

He also tells him that if he only looks for a girl for her looks alone then he's missing out on the whole person itself. In Hot Stuff, Weasel had a friend who offered to get Eddie better stereo sound system in his car for a decent price. However, he becomes suspicious when Steve revealed that the stereo system numbers were scraped off and is stolen. The next day, Eddie confronts Weasel about the stolen stereo system that costed him $400. In Stormy Weather, Waldo has set up a date for Weasel with Quesidilla, which Eddie thinks it's a bad idea because of the way he behaves. He kept watch over them, but she tells him that Weasel hasn't been doing anything bad to her and she'll be fine.
Weasel would make his last appearance in Season 5's Presumed Urkel before disappearing; it's unknown what became of him.

2000 Cadillac Seville STS ProblemsImproper HVAC Temperature and/or Air Delivery Due to Failed Mode Door Actuator
One or more heater & AC (HVAC) temperature and/or air delivery mode door actuator may fail, resulting in improper temperature or air delivery. If this occurs, fault code(s) should be stored in the HVAC control module which should assist in diagnoses.
Problems with anti-theft systems using the raised-chip key can prevent the car from starting. The wires in the steering column to the ignition lock cylinder tend to break. The key and ignition lock cylinder should be replaced to correct this condition.
The trunk pull down switch may fail causing the trunk lid not to close completely. Our technicians tell us that the failed switch can be replaced without changing the complete pull down motor assembly.

You look so innocent with your
baby pink hair done in that messy,
I-don't-bother-with-it style. Your face,
so open and childish, is still young, but
already I can see the guile behind your
You're not as innocent as you seem,
are you, my little one? That outfit,
with its straps, high boots and billowing
top is as seductive as whore's nightdress,
and just about as irresistable. Still, I
won't come too close in case you think
I'm good enough to bite.
Or maybe I will come closer. Maybe I want
to feel your teeth on my neck, your breasts
pressed against mine, your body moulding to
my shape, your breaths coming fast and needy.
Maybe I want to show you the delights that all
girls want to indulge themselves in.
Maybe I want to lose my innocence with you,
to make you lose your innocence too. You may
be an innocent vampire now, but soon you will
be a fully-fledged vampire, lost in your lust and
desire for both blood ... and me.

Bravo to corporate managements everywhere for consistently setting low expectations and then exceeding them. This leads, of course, to the many earnings season "beats" we read about every quarter, as if CEOs-and-crews knocked themselves out. So attuned to these projections have stock prices become that, even when the company projection is for disaster, if management delivers disaster-plus-2%, it's often seen as success.
WTW data by YCharts
That's what appears to have occurred in recent days at Weight Watchers International (NYSE:WTW), where, management guidance aside, the decline in revenue is accelerating. After fourth-quarter revenue fell by 11%, Weight Watchers issued dreary-dreary full-year 2014 guidance, and CEO Jim Chambers says now:
Our Q1 financial results were ahead of our expectations.
Break out the champagne, Jim: revenue for the quarter, which typically is a good one in the weight-loss industry due to New Year's resolutions, plunged 16.6%, half again faster than the Q4 decline.
Safe to say, Weight Watchers isn't the same company it was a couple of years ago, before digital digital diet apps and activity wristbands became prevalent. Sales and profits have been falling and the outlook - Chambers upped the full-year EPS guidance range to $1.45-to-$1.70 with the release of first-quarter results, from the earlier low bar of $1.30-to-$1.60 - represents a huge decline from past performance: 2013 EPS of $3.63 and 2012 of $4.23.
A nickel or two down in the dollar-and-change range is nothing to celebrate about, given how far Weight Watchers has fallen.
WTW PE Ratio (TTM) data by YCharts
With a trailing PE ratio of about 7, one might think Weight Watchers is a bargain. But the forward PE ratio is double that, or about 14, and the chart above shows how those two metrics - moving along together so nicely - parted company earlier this year with the initial dreary-dreary guidance.
Weight Watchers rolled out a new sales promotion to start 2014, and so far it's a flop. The company reported:
Despite the launch of Simple Start at the beginning of the year recruitment softness continues, impacted by activity monitors and free apps that generated significant consumer interest and influenced trial dynamics in the category.
Weight Watchers is particularly vulnerable to a downturn after having leveraged up in recent years with enormous stock buybacks funded with debt.
WTW Total Long Term Debt (Quarterly) data by YCharts
Customer engagement, meanwhile, has been on the decline as people increasingly pay for Weight Watchers meeting attendance and then don't go. Sure they paid, but lack of engagement suggests more members may drop out. And if they don't go to a meeting, they can't buy stuff; in-meeting product sales plunged 25.3% in the first quarter.
As we've noted before, Weight Watchers carries nearly $1 billion of goodwill on its balance sheet, an asset category that could come under pressure as the business deteriorates. And its long-term debt, at $2.3 billion, is huge for a company hoping to make net income in 2014 of maybe $100 million.
Chambers, the CEO, offered this up in the first-quarter earnings statement:
We are encouraged by the progress we are making on our transformation plan, but there is still a great deal of work to do.
The numbers don't spell progress just yet, even if the bar has been set awfully low.
Jeff Bailey, The Editor of YCharts, is a former reporter, editor and columnist at the Wall Street Journal and New York Times.

Publisher v2 – manage digital products like a proPosted on
Publisher is an advanced CMS / e-commerce theme for selling books and other digital products. With v2 we wanted to give even more tools to the admin while making the experience more accessible for visitors. Newly implemented responsive design should ensure that each visitor gets the same experience; no matter which device they use to access the site.
The core functionality (selling digital products) has been revamped from scratch. Publisher v2 is powered by our Tevolution plugin and a custom Tevolution add-on called Digital Downloads. In order to make the upgrade process easier we avoided making too many changes to the product structure. Most of your product information will transfer over to the new system. As usual, you'll find detailed updating instructions inside the theme guide.
With Tevolution you can…
- Create new post types
- Setup a multilingual site (using WPML)
- Create and manage coupons
- Customize the registration form with fields of your own
- Bulk upload content from other sites ( .csv format )
[templatic_msg_box type="success"]Publisher v2 is a free upgrade for all existing Publisher owners and Club members[/templatic_msg_box]
Some of you are probably wondering; "What about physical products". The answer is simple – WooCommerce. Publisher v2 allows you to choose between the Tevolution + Digital Downloads combo or WooCommerce. When it comes to handling digital products, the functionality is similar; it comes to down to which sales page design you like more.
This upgrade has been in the works for a while now, we hope you like how it turned out!

Jesse, this has been the first day I've had time to go out and check the
garden in a few weeks and would you believe that Immortality is in glorious
bloom?!? It is breathtaking!!! Thanks so very much for sharing with me!!!
I took a few of the pups outside since it was so nice and warm. I have to
be careful taking them out, not only from the standpoint of stings and bites
and poison flora, but because there have been whole litters stolen from
their homes!!! UGH! I'm not normally paranoid about such things, but
Izzie's breeder came home to find some of her pets had been stolen. Luckily
a neighbor knew who had been their in her absence and they tracked the
person just in time to prevent their sweet ones from being sold off to
unknown buyers. We really try to screen who will be in contact with both
the adult dogs and the puppies and I don't think I could stand it if they
were suddenly taken from Bill & me. It makes me feel like I'm in 101
Dalmations, for goodness sakes.

Young Architects Program 2011
06/22/11 through 09/19/11
Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)
11 W. 53rd St. Map
This event has already taken place. Click here for the latest events.
This exhibition features the proposals of the five finalists in the MoMA PS1 Young Architects Program and the five finalists from our new affiliated program at the National Museum of XXI Century Arts in Rome. Now in its 12th edition, the Young Architects Program at MoMA PS1 offers emerging architectural talent the opportunity to design and present innovative projects, challenging each year's winners to develop highly innovative designs for a temporary outdoor installation at MoMA PS1 that provides shade, seating, and water. The architects must also work within guidelines that address environmental issues, including sustainability and recycling. For the first time, MoMA and MoMA PS1 are partnering with another institution, the National Museum of XXI Century Arts of Rome in Rome (MAXXI), to create an international Young Architects Program network. The winning designs, by Interboro Partners (Brooklyn) at MoMA PS1 and stARTT (Rome) at MAXXI, will be on view throughout the summer in the respective museum courtyards. The project submissions of all the finalists -- including Raffaella De Simone/Valentina Mandalari (Palermo), Ghigos Ideas (Lissone/Milan), Asif Khan (London), and Langarita Navarro Arquitectos (Madrid) for Rome; and formlessfinder (Brooklyn), IJP (London), MASS Design Group (Cambridge), and Matter Practice (Brooklyn) for New York -- are exhibited at both venues.
Venue Description: MoMA's rich and varied collection constitutes one of the most comprehensive and panoramic views into modern art in the world, and has grown to include over 135,000 paintings, prints, photographs, drawings, sculptures, films, and design objects. Visitors to New York City should make sure to stop in and view the collection during their vacations. Founded in 1929 as an educational institution, The Museum of Modern Art is dedicated to being the foremost museum of modern art in the world. Central to The Museum of Modern Art's mission is the encouragement of an ever-deeper understanding and enjoyment of modern and contemporary art by the diverse local, national, and international audiences that it serves. The Museum of Modern Art seeks to create a dialogue between the established and the experimental, the past and the present, in an environment that is responsive to the issues of modern and contemporary art, while being accessible to a public that ranges from scholars to young children. MoMA also has three restaurants on the premises: Café 2, is the museum's sophisticated cafeteria; Terrace 5 is a full-service café where guests can indulge in creative savory selections, delectable pastries and ice cream sundaes, inventive specialty cocktails, micro-brewed beers, and carefully selected wines; and The Modern offers the original, Alsatian-inspired cuisine of Chef Gabriel Kreuther, recently awarded three stars by The New York Times.
Museum Hours: Tues.-Mon., 10:30am-5:30pm; Fri., 10:30am-8pm (free entry 4-8pm for UNIQLO Free Friday Nights).

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/forum.php)
- Saltwater Fish (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/saltwater-fish/)
- - do you know what it is? (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/saltwater-fish/do-you-know-what-3275/)
do you know what it is?
I don't know what this is. It is in my over flow. The over flow is an in the tank drain. This picture is taken from under neath.
looks like an aptasia to me. they are not bad is its just a few, but they can reproduce quickly and be a nuisance. peppermint shrimp are good for getting rid of them.
Glass anemone. For sure. I'd check into it. I mean not to argue or anything. Low light. Spread quickly. Considered a nuisance. Powerful sting. Wil sting and kill corals. In no time it will cover the tank in offspring. Careful in it's removal as it's easy to cause it to reproduce while removing. Leaving a trace amount of it will cause it to grow back with a vengeance.
If peppermint shrimp isn't an option, there is an easy way to get rid of it without it spreading, if you are sure you get all of them at once.
Mix Kalkwasser with some tap water to form a thick milky liquid. Using a syringe and needle, inject this solution into the mouth of the anemone. The only trick is to get it into the internal organs before the anemone shrinks itself too closed to access it. If you're on target, it will shrivel up and die within 24 hrs.
This one appears to be on the bare glass bottom, so shouldn't be too hard to get. Watch the rest of your tank closely, and if you see more, then I would consider the peppermint shrimp to be sure you get them all.
Wow dead thread throwback Wednesdays.
I just answer what I see when I can get here...

Abundant evidence supports the idea that progressive up-regulation of complex pro-inflammatory signaling, A?42 peptide evolution, and loss of neurotrophic support underlie the initiation and propagation of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Micro RNA (miRNA)-mediated messenger RNA (mRNA) interference is a newly discovered genetic mechanism involved in the regulation of gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. The major mode of miRNA action is to target and bind to the 3'un-translated region of specific mRNAs and in doing so, quench expression of that mRNA, thereby acting as a negative regulator of gene expression. AD affects only specific areas of the brain, and mis-regulated miRNA expression is strongly linked to altered gene expression within these regions. In AD models, these same AD-enriched miRNAs induce specific pathological changes that are strikingly similar to those observed in AD brain. Accumulating evidence strongly suggests that altered miRNA-mediated processing of specific mRNA populations triggers the pathogenic expression of genes that drive the AD process. The overall goal of this project is to significantly move the miRNAin- AD field forward, and impact the scientific understanding of AD, by defining mechanistically how specific miRNAs induce molecular-genetic mechanisms that result in AD-type change. Human brains utilize only a fraction of all known miRNA species;and only a subset of these are altered in AD brain. Increases in the expression of a specific NF-?B-sensitive miRNA-146a down-regulates the abundance of at least three major mRNA targets, complement factor H (CFH), interleukin-1 receptor associated kinase (IRAK) and tetraspanin 12 (TSPAN12), that encode key modulators of the brain's innate immune system, inflammatory response and the generation of neurotrophic or neurotoxic amyloid peptides. Down-regulated TSPAN12 restricts ADAM10 (a-secretase) dependent cleavage of beta-amyloid precursor protein (?APP). Stressed human brain cells up-regulate miRNA-146a in parallel with increased amyloidogenesis and shedding of A?42 peptides. Hypothesis: up-regulated miRNA-146a contributes to altered innate immune and inflammatory responses, increased A?42 peptide generation and decreased neurotrophic support.
Three Specific Aims test predicted outcomes based on this hypothesis in AD, in stressed human brain primary cells, and in specific transgenic models of AD.
These Specific Aims i nclude (1) identification of alterations in miRNA-146a abundance in AD brain;(2) testing whether stressed human neuronal, astrocyte or microglial cells exhibit miRNA changes similar to those conducive to inflammatory neurodegeneration and A?42 peptide generation in AD tissues, and testing if added exogenous miRNA-146a or anti-miRNA-146a oligonucleotides will promote or neutralize these changes;and (3) testing whether miRNA-146a, anti-miRNA-146a and modulation of CFH, IRAK or TSPAN12 expression are key regulators of the inflammatory response and amyloidogenesis in amyloid over-expressing Tg2576 mice.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive, fatal, neurodegenerative disorder of the human brain and is a major and expanding health care concern in this country, currently affecting an estimated 5 million Americans. Recent evidence indicates that progressive changes in the brain's inflammatory signaling systems, involving complement factor H (CFH), the interleukin-1 receptor associated kinase-1 and -2 (IRAK-1, IRAK-2), tetraspanin12 (TSPAN12) and A?42 peptide evolution, against a background of brain aging, underlie the initiation and progression of the AD process. Our proposed molecular-genetic approach will define the role and mechanism of action of the recently discovered human brain-enriched micro RNA 146a (miRNA-146a) in CFH, IRAK-1, IRAK-2 and TSPAN12 signaling, and A?42 peptide generation, that regulate key components of pathogenic signaling in the AD-affected human brain.

Then there are the guys that jump on the hood of your car and start wiping the windows. They are really holding you up for cash (a dollar of two will do, thank goodness.) The subways are most enlightening: You get crammed in them like cattle in a cattle car. And while you're standing up, hanging on to a strap for balance, some pervert squeezes in behind you, and you get the picture. If you're female, you hope that it's a gay man that's behind you. At least he's not interested. Ah, the joys of city living!!

Iran would be considered the mass murderer. To think Iran "deserves" to be allowed to have nuclear weapons is CRAZY. And no don't accuse me of being brainwashed by mass media. I know several Iranians personally, some living here and some still living in Iran. The sane Iranians would tell you that you are nuts to even consider this idea. The largest part of the citizens of Iran pray for the day that their government is overthrown! To hate Israel is one thing, to think that a known and practically confessed terrorist state should be allowed nuclear weapons is CRAZY to the highest power. I do believe you are just attempting to be controversial because of your hate for Israel. But you are entitled to believe whatever you please AND state it, unlike in Iran.
#80391 Jan 1, 2013
Israel is the terrorist state in that region and they are the aggressors, not Iran. Just look at operation Cast Lead and the recent bombing in Gaza. What act of aggression has Iran ever done to Israel? I don't hate Israel, it is the zionist regime of Netanyahu that is to blame and now a growing majority of Israelis want Netanyahu overthrown. Ahmadinejad is actually very popular in Iran just like Assad is in Syria, despite what our zionist controlled news media will lead you to believe. The bad apples in Israel is not the people, it is their war mongering government and they are doing their best to get America into another war for them.

He is demanding that the United States set a red line that, once crossed, will automatically initiate a US attack on Iran. He doesnt even bother to pretend that war with Iran is in US interests. He just wants his war trigger. But, and this seems literally to be driving him crazy, he sees the chances for war diminishing every day.
I think his latest tantrum was produced by last weeks New York Times op-ed by its former executive editor, Bill Keller which stated that even if Iran develops nuclear weapons, they would not necessarily pose a significant threat to Israel, let alone to the United States.
Keller merely suggested what Israelis say privately: this whole Iran scare is not about nukes per se, it is about Israels fear of losing the ability to do whatever it wants to whenever it wants to. Bomb Gaza. Bomb Lebanon. Bomb relief ships. Bomb whoever, whenever.
It is about regional hegemony. After all, militarily Israel can more than handle Iran and both countries know that. That is why Israelis do not share Netanyahus enthusiasm for war.

Not only do they not want war, they rightly fear that an attack on Iran would result in thousands of missiles, being launched against Israeli population centers by Hizbullah and Hamas. Even though Defense Minister Ehud Barak promises that only 500 Israeli civilians would be killed (how did he come up with that number), Israelis do not want their kids to be among that number.
None of this seems to matters to Netanyahu, who acts less an Israeli leader than a US neocon. That is why he is the first Israeli prime minister not even to go through the motions of serious negotiations. He is not interested.
Fortunately, President Obama like President George W. Bush before him is standing in the way of an Iran war. Netanyahus plan requires the United States to jump in to bail Israel out once it begins a war it cannot finish, but Obama, like Bush, wont permit it.
#80394 Jan 1, 2013
So what is Netanyahu to do? He will defeat President Obama (at least in his dreams) and bring in a Mitt Romney under the sway of Sheldon Adelson. He believes Romney would go to war and so he is engineering conflict with the United States to tip the election.
Forget the fact that he cant do it. The percentage of Jews who vote based on Israels perceived desires is 3% at best, and not even that 3% necessarily believes war is in Israels interests. Nonetheless, that is what Bibis whole game is about.
The irony is that it is unlikely a President Romney would go to war either. With the military opposed, one would have to imagine that Romney would risk American interests (most importantly, young lives) to please a donor and the same neocon claque that led Bush to war with Iraq.
Really? A new Republican president would want to begin his term with another Middle East war? Dream on, Bibi.
#80395 Jan 1, 2013
The only force in the United States that favors war is the Israel lobby (AIPAC and its satellite organizations), neoconservative pundits and some Christian rightists (although the latter are more enthusiastic about going to war against a womans right to choose and gay rights than against Iran). War with Iran could destroy Romneys presidency and he surely knows it.
The bottom line then is that all Netanyahu is accomplishing with his ugly saber-rattling is threatening the survival of the US-Israel relationship.
Dont kid yourself. No matter what Obama says publicly, he is furious with Netanyahu. Privately, it is hard to imagine that even Republicans like seeing the United States being treated with such contempt by a tiny country we sustain with $3.5 billion a year in aid (exempt from all cuts, unlike every other program) and UN vetoes that make America look like Israels satellite. The only thing that keeps them all quiet is intimidation and campaign contributions. That wont last forever, particularly as younger American Jews have moved toward indifference to Israel due to the policies it has pursued since an Israeli fanatic killed Yitzhak Rabin.
Israelis need to wake up. IL Kenen, the founder of AIPAC, called the United States Israels defense line. It is. And Bibi is jeopardizing it.
Binyamin Netanyahu poses an existential threat to the Jewish state. Those who claim to care about Israel need to speak out. Will we really allow this rightist egomaniac to destroy a 2000 year old dream?

First of all why don't you stick to one name, for instance "Legion." That would fit you well. Have you ever been to Israel or Gaza or the West Bank?

Ok, since you guys are having a violent time here perhaps you can assist in my search for a Finnish soldier who is credited with 21 confirmed knife kills. I've been digging for an hour with no luck. Sure you may think it's good ol boy Simo Häyhä, but no. He was quite the sniper but I recall this dude who took out 21 Russians with his blade. The only reference I found was from Col Rex Applegate, who has a few knife kills, 7 I think,, and mentions this Finn soldier by deed not name. This dude is hiding, but I'm set on finding him.

@AW, thought you would like this article in today's Courier Journal since today is the anniversary of the attack:
Artifacts help pinpoint key Hatfield-McCoy battle
Artifacts recently unearthed during the filming of a new National Geographic Channel show appear to pinpoint the location of a turning point in the yearslong feud between the Hatfield and McCoy clans.
On New Year's Day of 1888 in eastern Kentucky, the Hatfield clan set Randolph McCoy's cabin ablaze and gunned down two members of the rival family.
Excavators have found bullets believed to have been fired by the McCoys in self-defense, along with fragments of windows and ceramic from a cabin.
Kim McBride, co-director of the Kentucky Archaeological Survey, also says the deed to the land was traced back to Randolph McCoy.
The property is owned by Bob Scott, a Hatfield descendant who suspected for years the land was the site of the attack.

I like big cities for about a day, then zap me back to sanity. I guess it comes from Christmas shopping in downtown Cincinnati as a kid and going in and out of all the big tall stores from the snowy streets. I like the open air farmers markets like the old Findley market in downtown Cincy and nw side of DC. Nothing like the cornucopia of aromas wifting the air,, not so much the fish mkt though, lol.

@AB .. yes interesting. I acquired about 6 boxes of old papers from my Aunt's old attic and have been looking through them from time to time.
I recently found where in 1842, my ancestor had a receipt for 40 cents paid to a black smith for shoeing his horses. I don't know if that was 10 cents a hoof or was for more than one horse.
But one of the most interesting was a paperback booklet of "Lydia Pinkham's, Ailments Pecular to Women" and on the inside cover it said since the booklet contained information of a delicate matter, it should be read in privacy and was not for public viewing. LOL My how times have changed.
#80409 Jan 1, 2013
I just now looked up Lydia Pinkham on the internet and it said she lived from 1819 to 1893 and suffered from many women's ailments and concocted some remedies in her own kitchen.

Ship Weight:0.07 BHI/Heel Calendula Ointment 1.76 oz (50 g) BHI/Heel Calendula Ointment is a homeopathic ointment for the temporary relief of skin irritation and pain due to dry, irritated or chapped skin, abrasions and scrapes, minor burns and sunburns, and minor puncture wounds. Calendula grows as a common garden plant throughout North America and Europe. The golden-orange or yellow flowers of calendula have been used as medicine for centuries. Calendula flowers were historically considered beneficial for reducing inflammation, wound healing, and as an antiseptic. Calendula was used to treat various skin diseases, ranging from skin ulcerations to eczema. Internally, the soothing effects of calendula have been used for stomach ulcers and inflammation. The human body is one of nature's works of art. When it is healthy, it is perfectly in tune with itself and the environment. But sometimes that balance is disturbed and people become ill. That is where BHI/Heel comes in. Their medications gently promote the body's processes of self-healing, helping it combat illness and recover its biological balance. Homeopathic combination medications are made of several different natural substances are easy to use fulfill high quality standards. But what exactly are homeopathic combination medications? In classical homeopathy, a single medication is prescribed based on the patient's physical and mental symptoms. BHI/Heel approaches homeopathy in a new way. These combination medications are made up of several different natural substances, mostly homeopathically prepared. These have been carefully chosen and blended to stimulate various biological functions. They are then used, just like conventional medications are, to treat one particular condition like the common cold or dizziness.

I visited Sweden May, 2010 and found it to be a wonderful country! Unfortunately, I was introduced to Larsson's Trilogy AFTER returning home to Florida… I immediately read all 3 books in series….and saw all 3 Swedish movies. What a tradegy for the world to lose such a talented writer. It will be difficult to wait until, hopefully, his last book is published by his companion. I was so impressed by Mr. Larssons writing, I cannot wait to return to his country and follow the Larsson Trail personally. I agree with other posts here that it would be rediculous for Hollywood to do a remake of the movies because they will do a poor job and not follow the storyline. The Swedish movies were excellent!!!!!

Has lisbeth salander died with steig larson? 🙁
– eric, 25 February 2011
Slander is the embodiment of our crumbling modern day society. His web of characters is amazing and complex but simple enough for us teenagers to follow the story line. FREAKING WOW!!!!! 🙂
– Roja and Nicola, 23 February 2011
Love this series!!!
– nicole, 23 February 2011
what's the point of hollywood remake? dont americans have the intellectual capacity to read subtitles?
I'm sick of the US's habit of taking wonderful works from outside their borders and 'americanising' them – almost as if they simply cannot stand the fact that fucking brilliant art is produced outside Hollywoods confines.
Not one cent of my money will go to that capitalistic remake, and any true fan should keep their wallet closed as well. It's bad enough the television series was made, they had to put it out in the cinema… and ofcourse – the only truly worthy receipient of any finances from these projects receive NOTHING from any of it.
To hell with it, that's my opinion.
– WASP, 20 February 2011
As an American, I agree with you completely, The Swedish trilogy is a masterpiece. Its like a painter trying to improve on the Mona Lisa!
Most in Hollywood exist in a fantasy world. Their remake will be a big flop. Do they really believe they can sell it overseas when the original is good as it is?
– Ronbo, 21 February 2011
I agree that the originals are fantastic-I loved the books as well as the movies. I disagree with your remarks that these films should not be made in Hollywood. I am one of those dumb Americans you're speaking about and I read all 3 books AND watched the Swedish films AND read all the subtitles all by myself. Who cares if this movie is remade? Doesn't that just show what a great author this man was since people from all over the world want a chance to interpret his work? I don't really think the point is to improve the story-just to tell it again.
– REDNECK, 28 February 2011
I watched one of the movies "dubbed" and one with the subtitles — made no difference in the fact that these are great movies — acting, directing, etc. I agree that there's no way a remake could make this better and it doesn't need to be remade "differently". The movies Psycho was remade……and what was the point of that….?!
– READER, 28 February 2011
I tried to watch TGWTDT and am normally happy to see movies with subtitles. However, on my TV, I just couldn't read them and had to abandon the movie. Although Hollywood will probably not do such a good job, I want to watch the movies without squinting at the screen.
– janrc49, 7 Mars 2011
I have read all 3 books and my husband and I have watched all 3 movies. I loved both and thought the movies were very true to the books in all the areas that really mattered. I can't tell you how many times I've said it makes me so very sad that this wonderful and brilliant writer, Stieg Larsson died before knowing how many people loved his work. I am a 63 year old grandmother who lives in the mid-western US, my husband and I are both retired. We both hope that Eva will be allowed to complete the 4th book as we can't bear to say goodbye to Lisbeth and Mikael. As far as Hollywood doing a remake of the movies, they should just forget that, no one can ever compare to Noomi Rapace and Michael Nyqvist portrayals of Lisbeth & Mikael. I don't know Sweden's equivalent of the Oscars, but they certainly should win that award.
– Nanaqsmh, 18 February 2011
I wrote this letter to Stieg Larsson before i learned of his death.
Dear Stieg Larsson,
I went to college for two years and the best thing i got out of it was your book. I bought the book 'The Girl Who Played With Fire' for 6 dollars in the book store at my college. Once i bought it i never put it down. On my 2 hour bus ride to and from school the only safety i felt was with Lisabeth Salander. I'm not much for reading i'd rather write, but your book captivated me. I bought the third book ' The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets Nest' and i'm now waiting to buy the first one. I just wanted to write you this to tell you that Lisabest Salander and You both have changed my life. I am stronger as a woman now than i have ever been. You are (were) an amazing artist,writer,and creator. I wanted you to know that the witty, smart, strong girl that you masterfully created like a god is a part of my everyday life and now that girl is me.
– Katie Farrell, 16 February 2011
Wonderful note. Hope your writing does the same for someone soon
– , 23 February 2011
Thank You.
– Katie, 27 February 2011
Being an American myself, I can't agree more. It's too bad movies in our country have been gravitating away from stories and characters and towards action and special effects. That said, the English translation of these books are not very well written. Though they may capture the story, they are poor. Don't get me wrong, in NO WAY is that a reflection of Stieg or his work, merely the quality of translations. Also, the movies, as they stand now, are fantastic… period.
– Clint, 5 Mars 2011
I also enjoyed the series. Can anyone recommend another book or series that is equally intriguing and character driven?
– AIng, 15 February 2011
Have you checked out this new guy claiming to be the English Stieg Larrson, S.G.Norris, he's obviously jumping on the band wagon but from what I've read it looks good. Bringing the political thriller to Northern England. Well I've bought it anyway, will post on here what I think
– Craig McKenny, 1 Mars 2011
Also, the books are many and have been around some time but have you read Swedens other terrific author Henning Mankell who writes the Kurt Wallander books ? He is an interesting character so try to start with the earliest book you can as the threads run through the books.
– Kate Kinsella 10/Mar.2011, 10 Mars 2011
You should import me here!!!!!
No one loved this series more that I did. Plus, the Green Bay Packers won the Super Bowl.
I looked up every address as the books unfolded and plead with Swedes to invite me to visit the TRAIL.
Good Grief, Few people ever noticed the water, the trains, the super highways, the Cities until Mr Larrsen wrote. What a country!!!!
Bless him and screw the attorneys that would cheat us of the" last of sheila."
Please invite me to stockholm. I will learn the swedish language quickly if you allow me. Go Lisbeth, and Go green bay packers…………Stockholm invite me.
Unclle Dougie.

Transport osteogenesis in the maxillofacial skeleton: Outcomes of a versatile reconstruction method following tumor ablation
Gonzalez-Garcia R.,University Hospital Infanta Cristina |
Naval-Gias L.,University Hospital la Princesa
Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery | Year: 2010
Objectives: To report our clinical experience using bifocal distraction osteogenesis (BDO) with internal devices to treat patients having bony defects of the maxillofacial skeleton following tumor ablation and to focus on outcomes of dental implant placement in patients having maxillomandibular segmental defects. Design: Retrospective case series. Setting: Academic research. Patients: Patients were selected according to the following inclusion criteria: a bony defect in the maxillofacial skeleton, moderate soft-tissue defect, local or general conditions that preclude more aggressive surgery, and adequate patient compliance. Types of BDO included horizontal mandibular or maxillar alveolar, bilateral alveolar, vertical mandibular or maxillar, ramus and body, mandibular angle, symphysis, the 2-step procedure, temporalis muscle flap reconstruction, vascularized free-fibular flap reconstruction, radial forearm free-flap reconstruction, and pectoralis muscle flap reconstruction. Main Outcome Measures: The latency period was 10 days, after which distraction was initiated at a rate of 0.5 mm/d. The distraction period continued until the transport disk reached the distal stump. The consolidation period ranged from 8 to 48 weeks. Seven patients required additional bone grafting to complete union with the residual bone. Results: Twenty-eight patients having bony defects of the maxillofacial skeleton underwent BDO. The mean (SD) bony defect length was 47.0 (20.1) mm. The mean (SD) distracted bone lengthening was 36.5 (20.0) mm, with a mean (SD) consolidation period of 16.4 (8.0) weeks. The bony defect involved the hemimandibular body in 12 patients, with greater involvement of the body and symphysis in 4 patients and of the bilateral mandibular body in 2 patients. Complications after BDO included the following: discomfort in 8 patients, complete intraoral exposure and infection in 3 patients, partial cutaneous exposure in 1 patient, premature consolidation in 1 patient, and temporomandibular joint ankylosis in 1 patient. Overall, BDO for reconstruction of bony defects was successful in 22 patients and failed in 6 patients. At the end of the follow-up period, 11 patients had undergone endosseous dental implant placement. Conclusions: Bifocal distraction osteogenesis potentially benefits patients with bony defects following tumor ablation at various locations in the maxillofacial skeleton. Sufficient bone is gained to allow dental implant placement, an important functional outcome. ©2010 American Medical Association. All rights reserved. Source
Synovial chondromatosis of the temporomandibular joint: report of 2 patients whose joints were reconstructed with costochondral graft and alloplastic prosthesis
Goizueta-Adame C.C.,University of Alicante |
Gonzalez-Garcia R.,University Hospital Infanta Cristina
British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery | Year: 2010
Synovial chondromatosis of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is rare, and only about 100 cases have been reported. Among these, intracranial extension was reported in only 9. Although some patterns of clinical presentation and evolution, synovial histological changes, and diagnosis by computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging have been described, there is little information about surgical treatment. We report two new cases that focus particularly on reconstruction with costochondral graft and alloplastic TMJ prosthesis. We report what is to our knowledge the youngest reported case of synovial chondromatosis of the TMJ, which is also the tenth reported case with extension into the middle cranial fossa. © 2009 The British Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.

Arthroscopic lysis and lavage versus operative arthroscopy in the outcome of temporomandibular joint internal derangement: A comparative study based on Wilkes stages
Gonzalez-Garcia R.,University Hospital Infanta Cristina |
Rodriguez-Campo F.J.,University Hospital la Princesa
Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery | Year: 2011
Purpose: To assess whether arthroscopic lysis and lavage (ALL) or operative arthroscopy (OA) is more effective for the treatment of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) internal derangement at any stage of involvement. Patients and Methods: In 458 patients (611 joints) with internal derangement of the TMJ classified as Wilkes stages II through V, arthroscopy was performed. Pain (visual analog scale score, 0-100) and maximal interincisal opening were assessed at 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 24 months after surgery. Results: ALL was performed in 308 of 611 arthroscopies (50.4%), and OA was performed in 303 arthroscopies (49.59%). A significant decrease in pain (P <.001) was observed for all patients at any time during the follow-up period from the first month postoperatively to the end of the 2-year follow-up period. A highly significant increase in mouth opening greater than 13 mm was observed in the group of patients classified as Wilkes stage IV from the first month postoperatively. When we compared ALL versus OA among Wilkes stages, no significant differences in terms of pain were observed during the entire follow-up period. Conclusions: Both ALL and OA are equally effective at decreasing pain in patients with TMJ internal derangement of any Wilkes stage. Patients classified as Wilkes stage IV presenting with chronic closed lock of the TMJ had the highest decrease in pain and the highest increase in mouth opening among the stages, thus confirming these patients as the best candidates for arthroscopy. © 2011 American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.

Endoscopically-assisted subcondylar and vertical ramus osteotomies for the treatment of symmetrical mandibular prognathism
Gonzalez-Garcia R.,University Hospital Infanta Cristina
Journal of Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery | Year: 2012
The author describe the endoscopically-assisted intraoral vertical ramus (IVRO) and subcondylar (ISCO) osteotomies for the treatment of symmetric mandibular prognathism. The use of the saw and the bone chisel under the continuous control of the endoscope provides a safer approach since the osteotomy is controlled during the whole process. The introduction of the endoscope to provide complete visualization of the osteotomy site may overcome the traditional limitations of direct visualization in IVRO and ISCO. © 2011 European Association for Cranio-Maxillo-Facial Surgery.

Predictability of the resonance frequency analysis in the survival of dental implants placed in the anterior non-atrophied edentulous mandible
Gonzalez-Garcia R.,University Hospital Infanta Cristina
Medicina Oral, Patologia Oral y Cirugia Bucal | Year: 2011
Background: Dental primary implant stability is considered essential in the success of the osseointegration process. The recent advent of the resonance frequency analysis (RFA) seems to effectively measure primary implant stability, although its relationship with implant survival has to be further established. Patients and Methods: Seventy patients with complete mandibular edentulism underwent dental implant rehabilitation by means of the placement of 68 dental implants within the interforaminal region and subsequent placement of an overdenture. Primary implant stability was measured by means of RFA and it was expressed in terms of implant stability quotient (ISQ) on the day of the implant insertion and at the time of the healing abutment placement in a conventional implant two-stage surgical procedure. Results: Overall implant survival rate was 97.1% at the end of the follow-up period. The mean ISQ value for 3.75 and 4.25 mm diameter implants was 78.4 ± 5.46 and 80.83 ± 5.35 respectively, at the time of the implant placement; and 76.68 ± 4.34 and 78.22 ± 6.87 respectively, at the second surgical stage. No statistical differences were observed in relation to changes in mean ISQ value along the healing process Conclusions: No statistical differences in terms of primary and secondary implant stability measured by RFA exists between 3.75 mm and 4.25 mm diameter implants in the conventional implant two-stage surgical procedure in patients with non-atrophied edentulous mandible being restored with an overdenture. Furthermore, no statistical association between RFA and the implant insertion torque was observed for endosseous dental implant placement at the first surgical stage. © Medicina Oral. Source

Mysterious Verizon Evo-Like Phone Images Leak
It is, in fact, very Evo-ish in what is known. It's an HTC device for one, and even has a kickstand like the Evo. Besides that, it has an 8 megapixel camera with dual-LED flash, 4.3-inch screen, 3.5 mm headphone jack, and a front facing camera. Very Evo-ish.
Unfortunately, not much is know about technical specifications, such as internal storage, display type, processor, and the like. We'd expect it's not going to have a Hummingbird processor or Super AMOLED since this is an HTC device.
To be honest, it's not even clear this is an Android device, though that seems likely, and it's also not clear if it's CDMA or (we can only hope) LTE.
What the images show (more here) is pretty impressive, however, and makes us wish we had waited before acquiring our Droid X. On the other hand, it's just like before when it was all about PCs instead of mobile devices: something better is always around the corner, and you could wait forever and never buy anything.
