Maggie Leffler's Long Path to Flight
photo: Hills Studio
I first got to know Maggie Leffler just over nine years ago, when her debut novel, The Diagnosis of Love, came out. Now I'm reading her third book, The Secrets of Flight, and I'm hooked by its interlocking stories about two young women trying to figure out who they want to be… and how to become it—but also, as you'll see, what happens years later, after the choices you've made and the circumstances you can't control. Now, one of the reasons it's been so long since a follow-up to Leffler's first two books is that she has a full-on career as a family physician, but as you'll learn in this guest essay, it also took her longer than she'd anticipated to find the right shape for this particular narrative. She did, though, and that's great news for us.
Madeleine L'Engle once wrote, "I think that all artists, regardless of degree of talent, are a painful, paradoxical combination of certainty and uncertainty, of arrogance and humility… and yet with a stubborn streak of faith in their own validity no matter what." Over the last six years of writing my third novel, these words have never felt truer.
In 2009, after reading about President Obama honoring World War II's forgotten "fly girls" with Congressional Gold medals, I set out to write a family saga from four points of view, including that of a Women Airforce Service pilot (WASP). After it was completed in 2012, my agent sent The Secrets of Flight out to a round of rejections. The manuscript was overstuffed with characters, and, to boot, one of them, Jane, was unlikable (poor Jane!). Two drafts later, after the novel went out again—sans Jane—to be met with more rejections, I was in despair, yet compelled to keep writing all the same. Sometimes it's not conviction urging me onward, but the story itself that needs to come out before I'm consumed.
That same summer, I confessed to my husband a secret dream of mine since the age of fourteen: I wanted to make a film, but I was scared to learn how. What if my attempts were awful? He pushed me to take a class at Pittsburgh Filmmakers, which gave me a different perspective for the book—or at least a healthy break from it. With each passing year, it became easier to kill another darling.
Soon the novel belonged to the two main characters I'd conjured up in the very beginning: Mary, the former WWII pilot with a secret, and Elyse, the big-hearted teen who would save her. Another distinct point of view also emerged, that of the young pilot's… except that I had no idea what it felt like to have flown planes during the war. Finding the answers led to a friendship with Florence Shutsy-Reynolds, a Women Airforce Service pilot who inspired me with her stories. Finally, in 2014, the novel was ready for another round.

Jordanna Max Brodsky: The Heroine We Deserve, the Sidekick She Needs
photo: Ben Arons
I'm actually a bit jealous of the folks at Orbit who got to publish The Immortals, the debut novel by Jordanna Max Brodsky. I was lucky enough to read this story, which places the classical Greek pantheon into the modern suspense thriller, when it was making the rounds, and I was immediately impressed by the strength of Brodsky's voice—it's not just that the premise is cool, but that she fleshes it out with great characterizations, too. In this guest essay, she pulls back the curtain and explains some of the work that went into making her divine and human characters equally compelling. What she reveals makes perfect sense in retrospect, but she's done it so well that it wouldn't occur to you—or at least it didn't to me—to think about the mechanics involved while you're engrossed in the story.
I consider myself an unrepentant nerd. Academic over-achiever, Star Wars aficionado, player of board games, avoider of all things athletic. The heroine of The Immortals, on the other hand, is Selene DiSilva, a bow-wielding, ass-kicking, hard-as-nails vigilante who also just happens to be the Greek goddess Artemis living in modern day Manhattan. So my nerdophilic proclivities wound up centered squarely on the male protagonist of the book instead: Theodore Schultz, classics professor. Selene is stronger than he is, far more violent, and less emotionally vulnerable. In my mind, they make a perfect opposites-attract couple.
Most of my female friends agreed with my perspective when I asked them to read a draft. Theo is just the kind of guy they want around—a talker, a listener, and all around brilliant thinker. Then I let some male friends give me feedback and… boom! My blithe reversal of gender stereotypes ran smack dab into a brick wall of testosterone.
"Why is Theo a wimp?" they demanded. (He's not a wimp, I'd reply, he's just not into violence.) "Why is he such a nerd?" they asked. (He's a classicist! Did you expect him to be the cool kid in school?)
Cue the throwing up of hands, the rolling of eyes, the "Why don't you just make him a detective? Make him cool and calm and tough." Then my equally frustrated reply: "Because Selene is all those things! She used to be a cop! She's the Huntress, for goodness sake. She certainly doesn't need a man to teach her how to track a killer or use a bow."

Ducks-Predators: It's firepower vs. solid wall
ANAHEIM – Playoff series are often about matchups, and the NHL Western Conference quarterfinal between the Ducks and the Nashville Predators contains one of the best.
Outside of some folks in Vancouver, few will argue against the Ducks' big line of Ryan Getzlaf, Bobby Ryan and Corey Perry being the NHL's best trio. And there are many who see Nashville's Shea Weber and Ryan Suter as the league's best defensive tandem.
All of them play a ton of minutes. All of them know each other's games. And they all will frequently congregate on the ice.
The matchup of each team's stalwarts could be a deciding factor for this best-of-7 series..
"It's going to be huge," Ducks winger Bobby Ryan said Tuesday. "I think we're going to have to find ways. Obviously Shea, you can't say enough about him. He does a little bit of everything.
"Ryan's a perfect complementary player for him. They mesh well. Each brings their own things to the table. We're going to see a lot of them. We're excited about it."
Only Vancouver's top line of Daniel Sedin, Henrik Sedin and Alex Burrows topped the combined 245 points that the Getzlaf-Ryan-Perry combo produced. No one approached the 103 goals that they churned out.
The three regularly play up to 25 minutes each game and sometimes spill over that. But it won't be a surprise if Weber and Suter are on the ice for half of Game 1 Wednesday night at Honda Center.
Weber, the Predators' captain, is receiving serious consideration for the Norris Trophy as he used his cannon of a slapshot to score 16 goals and have 48 points while also playing with a physical edge in his own end.
Getzlaf and Perry won a gold medal with Weber for Canada at the 2010 Winter Olympics. But Suter, who earned a silver medal with the United States squad, is just as important to the Predators, even if he doesn't receive as many accolades.
"He's just so poised with the puck," said Ryan, who was his U.S. teammate. "He's got a lot of patience. Very often he makes the right play and he's hard to get out of position.
"He's so good positionally and he skates so well that you're going to have to beat him in those certain little areas and take your chances when you get them."
The Ducks' strategy is simple – apply constant pressure when the two are in their own end of the rink and try to grind their way into their heads over what many are expecting to be a long series.
"We've got to wear them down," Perry said. "If we have them turning and moving and going to get the puck and we're playing that forechecking game, in time over a seven-game series, it's going to wear them down.
"We're going to maybe create some turnovers off of it. It's a matter of just doing what we've been doing all year."
Said Ducks coach Randy Carlyle: "You know that they're going to play big minutes. You know that they're going to play in all the key situations. ...Those guys have won their fair share of one-on-one battles in the season. We know it's a tall task."
Sitting behind the Predators' bookend defensive stars is Pekka Rinne, a 6-foot-5 Vezina Trophy candidate who has been a wall against many teams.
When asked about the toughest thing to deal with when facing Nashville, Getzlaf simply said, "Beating Pekka."
Rinne went 33-22-9 during the regular season and was among the league leaders in goals-against average (2.12) and save percentage (.930).
"We're playing against a tremendous goaltender who's played really well all season long," the Ducks' captain added. "Obviously we're looking to that challenge of getting lots of pucks at him and working through their (defense).
"They play a tight game where they don't allow a lot of second shots. We've got to do a good job of getting inside of everybody."
The Ducks were a competitive group at practice Tuesday with a chippy moment or two bubbling to the surface during some drills as they prepared for their first playoff contest since losing Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals against Detroit in 2009.
But there have also been the light moments, such as Getzlaf removing Perry's skates following a workout the day after his Rocket Richard Trophy-winning linemate scored his 50th goal.
"It's been loose and I think that's what you need at this time of the year," Ryan said. "It's easy to get tense and easy to over-think things. It's been a very loose room and I think that attributes to a veteran group.
"We're excited about this run. We're excited about the way we peaked down the stretch. We certainly hope it translates."

Chile Policy Makers Unanimous on September Rate Decision
Chilean policy makers were unanimous in their decision to keep the benchmark interest rate unchanged at 5 percent last month, and didn't discuss a rate increase or cut, minutes of the meeting showed.
The central bank last changed borrowing costs in January, when it made a quarter-point reduction that surprised economists surveyed by Bloomberg. A tight labor market ruled out another rate reduction, while slower inflation removed pressure for an increase, according to the minutes posted on the central bank website today.
Policy makers lowered their inflation forecast and raised growth estimates the week before the meeting, indicating that borrowing costs would remain at current levels in the short term. Still, changes in the global economy may rapidly alter the outlook for Chile, board member Sebastian Claro wrote in a presentation yesterday.
"In the aggregate, external conditions faced by Chile's economy are favorable for now," he wrote in the presentation posted on the bank website. "The favorable conditions -- raw material prices and foreign interest rates -- are transitory in part. They also could change significantly if the external situation deteriorates."
Chile's peso, which has gained 9.6 percent against the U.S. dollar this year, slid 0.2 percent to 474.11 per U.S. dollar at 8:44 a.m. Santiago time.
Inflation Forecast
Policy makers, who target 3 percent inflation plus or minus 1 percentage point over two years, on Sept. 5 lowered their 2012 inflation forecast to 2.5 percent from the 2.7 percent estimated in June. They also raised their economic growth estimate to between 4.75 percent and 5.25 percent from 4 percent to 5 percent.
Gross domestic product in the world's leading copper producer rose 5.5 percent in the second quarter from 2011, the fastest expansion in a year. Inflation slowed to 2.6 percent in August from 4.2 percent in the first month of this year.
Chile's two-year interest rate swap, which reflects traders' views of average borrowing costs, declined 11 basis points, or 0.11 percentage point, to 4.86 percent yesterday from last month's meeting of policy makers.

Social Security and the Generation Gap
Posted on Nov 5, 2011
Most Americans think that the big government entitlement programs—Social Security and Medicare—are a good thing. But young and old part company, according to a new Pew report, over the current effectiveness of the programs and what to do about it.
Older Americans drawing Social Security checks basically have a hands-off attitude, while younger people, looking down the road, say the program needs major changes or a complete overhaul.
But a majority of people of all ages have a message for the politicians: Don't be cutting into benefits to reduce the federal budget deficit. —ARK

Why do we want things we can't have,
But never take the things we need?
Why are we willing to die for a stranger,
But not willing to die for our enemy?
Why do we say we love,
But feel the opposite?
How is it that I am able to remember the pain,
Yet feel nothing at all?
Why do people ask 'how are you',
When they don't really care?
Why can't we let our yes mean yes,
And our no no?
Why is it so easy to fall into snares of a liar,
Yet have a blind side for those who genuinely love us most?
Why is it that a guy can filthy a girl,
But a girl can't filthy a guy?
Why is it that we can forget the good,
But remember the most pain?
Why do we want to hit someone,
Even though we know that after we do it,
They'll still stay the same?
Why do we want love so badly,
But runaway when we find it?
Why do so many people believe,
Sex is love and love is sex?
Why is it that high school is superficial,
And college is backstabbing?
Why are people,
So blind to desire?
Why do people ignore the fact,
That everyone needs love and honesty?
How is it that people can know me for so long,
But not know a single thing about me?
I'll die wondering,
Won't I?

"So crazy, it just might actually work." That's the only thing we can imagine was going through the minds of Horacio Llorens and Hernan Pitocco when they dreamed up this slingshot stunt.
After a rather creative exit from a hot-air balloon at nearly 16,404 feet, the pair (who were harnessed to each other in a tandem paraglider) started an infinity tumble – a high-G inverted maneuver, repeated multiple times. Then, they slingshotted themselves away from the paragalider to skydive down to earth at a ski resort high in the Pyrenees.
Watch the incredible slingshot video below:
While the idea is simple, the execution wasn't. The team started with training – while both are experienced BASE jumpers, they consider themselves pilots first. That meant seven hours of training in a wind tunnel and quite a few jumps so that they could get comfortable in the air. But there was more to it than flying – there was ejecting.
"To do it safely, we both needed to release from the glider together, at a very precise moment, to ensure we wouldn't fall into the glider," Lorens said. The challenge of releasing at the same time was solved with engineering. A custom-made harness release allowed Llorens to steer, while Pitocco would time the exit – still a crucial part of the equation. A badly-timed release would mean falling into the glider. That would impede the release of their parachutes, making for a dangerous situation.
Check out Horacio's other amazing flights around the world.
And on the first attempt, that's exactly what happened. The pilots planned to release at the apex of the jump, with the glider being blown away by the wind underneath them. The release system worked, but Pitocco fell directly on to the glider. Thankfully, he has able to clear the canopy away from his body and then throw his BASE rig. "We realized we had to release while we were still moving forward," Llorens said.
1... 2... 3... release!
Attempt number two went much more smoothly. "We took the hot air balloon to about 14,764 feet and exited by letting the glider hang out of the basket, then tumbling over it," Llorens said. "At 12,795 feet, we did about 13 revolutions and then we released around 11,155 feet. Then it was a simple skydive to the landing at 6,562 feet, at the ski resort of La Molina!."
For the athletes, the peak moment of the stunt was, literally, at the peak. That's where the slingshot effect from tumbling the paraglider shot them up into the air for a moment of weightlessness.
Want another adrenaline sequence? Check-out this kayaker dropping 115 feet off Key Hole Falls.
As they parachuted down, the glider fell to the earth, almost a half-mile away. On the ground, the two daredevils congratulated each other on the successful "ejection" from the slingshot. For Llorens – an acro paragliding world champion, the project was quite a thrill: "One of the coolest things I've ever done in my life."

Cyclical synchronization in the EMU along the financial crisis: An interpretation of the conflicting signals
We analyze how cyclical synchronization in the EMU evolved since the onset of the current financial crisis. The standard measures of cyclical correlation suggest that while the cycle of the euro area became more aligned with the cycles of other developed economies, the EMU itself apparently entered into a phase of cyclical divergence. We show that as a matter of fact the bulk of the member states remained closely aligned, and the seeming decline in synchronization is due to a few countries decoupling from the euro area. Next we present empirical evidence that the foundations that explain the evolution of the national cycles against the EMU aggregate through the crisis were already latent in 2007. Greece and Ireland deviate from the general pattern, the former because of its loose fiscal policy all along the period 2000-2007, and the latter due to the flexibility of its labor market.

How long after Mohs surgery do I need to wait to have a hair transplant where the hair follicles have been excised?
Will Scar Tissue Fill the 10 Mm Hole from Mohs on my Scalp? When Can I Do A Hair Transplant?
Doctor Answers 2
Always check with each doctor before having surgery.
Always check with each doctor before having surgery. In general, you need to have healed completely from a Mohs surgery to consider a hair transplant surgery.
Treatment of 10 mm Hole with Transplants
A picture would be very helpful. If there is literally a 'hole' after the Moh's surgery, surgically close the defect, wait about 6 weeks to let it heal and then determine if and how many transplants are needed to eliminate any residual bald spot.
These answers are for educational purposes and should not be relied upon as a substitute for medical advice you may receive from your physician. If you have a medical emergency, please call 911. These answers do not constitute or initiate a patient/doctor relationship.

Odisha stops iron ore exports via 2 AP ports
Odisha has initiated several steps to check illegal mining and illegal exports of iron ore from the state.
Bhubaneswar: Odisha has stopped iron ore exports from the state through two private ports in Andhra Pradesh, an official said on Monday. The state government in October had asked all the ports exporting iron ore from Odisha to provide operational details and the mechanism they follow to check illegal exports.
"We have stopped issuing permits for the exports through the Gangavaram and Kakinada ports in Andhra Pradesh after the port authorities did not respond to our queries," an official of the steel and mines department told IANS.
Odisha initiated several steps to check illegal mining and illegal exports of iron ore from the state after some politicians alleged in July 2009 that some mines were operating without licences.

Already halfway through the 2012 London Olympics, I, along with millions of viewers, have been glued to the TV watching our favourite athletes compete. These are all the best of the best athletes on the planet competing for their own nations. How could they not be the best role model if I want to learn more about performance for a company? We, advocates of Lean Six Sigma, always proclaim that Lean Six Sigma is one of the best tools to be used to enhance a company's performance. Not that I have doubts about it; but I wanted to use this blog as a platform to discuss if-and-how the tools used by Olympic athletes are similar to Lean Six Sigma.
At a high level, I observed a couple of similarities between the two:
1-Focus on Performance Metrics
An Olympic athlete takes a disciplined approach in training so that they can put their best game forward on the day of the Olympic games. For many (if not all) athletes, performance metrics are one of the most critical tools at his/her disposal. A sprinter, for example, will set timing goals and will keep track of every run that he/she conducts. He/she will practice the run thousands of times with a focus of obtaining the goal set.
The athletes will have many meets to run and prepare for their Olympic race. They continue to adjust their timing goals and to improve his or her times in order to beat their competition. Not only are the runners likely to time the entire run, they may decide to time certain portions of the run, e.g. the first 10 meters to ensure that they have a great start or the last leg of the race.
Similar to Lean Six Sigma, it is a process improvement framework with a focus on performance metrics. When implementing Lean Six Sigma, companies put in place key performance measures for the entire process and key areas within the process. Key performance measures may include process through-put time, process cycle time, and processing time (along with quality and cost measures).
Also in the Lean Six Sigma engagement, targets will be put in place for the company to meet, and these targets will be periodically adjusted, if needed. Like the Olympic athletes, the company will adjust and improve its targets in order to keep up and beat its competitors.
2-Focus On Continuous Improvement
An Olympic athlete is constantly striving to achieve breakthrough performance. He/she continually refines his/her methods and techniques in search of that magic formula that may result in a gold medal at the Olympics.
In an article written by Wayne Goldsmith, one of Australia's leading thinkers on sport (http://www.abc.net.au/unleashed/4163728.html?height=100&ratio=1x1&width=100), Goldsmith talks about what is required to win and win again as an Olympic athlete, i.e. to win at more than one Olympic games. Goldsmith states, "To get to the top required the athlete to make significant change, to dare to be different, to innovate, to take a new and different direction to their competitors to find a competitive advantage; then once they found it, inexplicably they lost their commitment for change and continuous improvement."
In fact, you can find countless examples of the importance of continuous improvement as a critical success factor for Olympic athletes, e.g. from athletes' diet, training and design of their equipment.
Comparing to a Lean Six sigma engagement, a continuous improvement process will often be put in place to assist the organization and its employees to continuously delivering superior results. Continuous improvement is not a one-time event but a process for ongoing improvement that is constantly taking place by every employee.
For an Olympic athlete, no continuous improvement will take place without the athlete being closely involved as he/she is the sole person who can provide input into what works well and why. The same is true for an organization, ongoing process improvement will less likely to happen without the involvement of its employees.
Closing Thoughts
Aside from the two similarities discussed above, tools used by Olympics athletes and Lean Six share a lot more similarities. The next time you are watching or reading about the Olympic athletes, think about the examples I have provided, think about how those athletes became best of the best, and think how you can use this information to make your company the best.

Dose-sensitive signals play essential roles in cell fate decisions during development. One area of our research investigates mechanisms by which small quantitative differences in molecular signals are translated into dramatically different developmental fates. One of our long-term goals is to dissect the quantitative signals and the genetic switch that specifies sexual fate in the nematode C. elegans. C. elegans determines sex by tallying X-chromosome number relative to the ploidy, the sets of autosomes (X:A signal). We showed that a set of genes on X, called X signal elements (XSEs), relays X-chromosome dose by repressing the activity of the sex determination switch gene xol-1 through both transcriptional and pre-mRNA mechanisms. Another set of genes called autosomal signal elements (ASEs) communicates ploidy by antagonizing the XSEs to activate xol-1. xol-1 specifies the male fate when active and the hermaphrodite fate when inactive. Our work investigates molecular mechanisms by which XSEs and ASEs antagonize each other to determine sex. One XSE is a nuclear hormone receptor (NHR) called SEX-1, a homolog of the retinoic acid receptor (RAR) gene family that participates in signaling pathways used for patterning and cellular differentiation in all metazoans. Disruptions in RARs are associated with human cancers, knowledge that has lead to the use of retinoids in the treatment of leukemias. Information gained from model organisms such as C. elegans about the genetic pathways in which NHRs function will provide an opportunity to discover other gene targets for drug therapy, which might be applicable to humans. A second long-term goal is understand the mechanism of X-chromosome dosage compensation, which equalizes X expression between the sexes. We defined a protein complex (DCC) that binds both X chromosomes of XX animals to repress X expression by half. Members of the complex also play essential roles in the compaction, resolution, and segregation of mitotic and meiotic chromosomes as well as the control of genetic recombination between homologous meiotic chromosomes. Not only is the protein complex essential for proper gene expression and viability, most components are essential for genome stability. Thus, studying dosage compensation will help us understand genomic instability caused by errors in chromosome segregation and disruption of meiotic recombination. We have identified cis-acting regulatory elements that target the X chromosome for repression by the DCC and discovered fundamental principles by which the DCC recognizes and binds X. Our future work will explore the connection between chromosome structure, DCC binding, and chromosome-wide gene repression.
A protein we found to be pivotal for sex determination in the round worm C. elegans is a homolog of the retinoic acid receptor (RAR) gene family that participates in signaling pathways used for patterning and cellular differentiation in all metazoans. Disruptions in RARs are associated with human cancers, knowledge that has lead to the use of retinoids in the treatment of leukemias. Information gained from model organisms such as C. elegans about the genetic pathways in which NHRs function will provide an opportunity to discover other gene targets for drug therapy, which might be applicable to humans. In addition, we have discovered protein complexes with shared components that participate in many chromosome behaviors including chromosome-wide gene regulation through dosage compensation, mitotic chromosome segregation, and the control of meiotic chromosome recombination. Disruption of these proteins causes severe chromosome segregation defects and genomic instability. Examination of tumors invariably reveals the genome to be rearranged and aneuploid, showing the significant role chromosome instability plays in generating cancerous cells. Our protein complexes give us insight into the mechanisms underlying the genome rearrangements associated with such a cancerous state.

A queen size bed can be added easily. These 2 rooms share a bathroom with large shower area.
A lovely pool house can be used as 4th bedroom but has no toilet/shower on its own. The European kitchen with Siemens dish washer leads directly to the outdoor dining area. A laundry area with storage room are integrated part of the villa. A Thai kitchen and a Maid's quarter was added recently.
The villa has a salt chlorinated pool of 44 m2 and a pool shower. The car park with automatic gate has space for a car and 3 motorbikes. For peace of mind (although not really necessary) an electric fence was installed on the top of the wall surrounding the land plot.
The covered outdoor area of 64 m2 is facing south and offers a lovely sea view. This is Phuket's east coast and Makham Bay is shallow, therefore you will see the rocks when low tide sets in, however, sea view is still available at all times and you can see Phi Phi Island in the distance when the air is clear. The plot is 800 m2, surrounded by large trees. There are no direct neighbors which results in a very private and quiet ambience.
During the dry season the south easterly winds send a refreshing breeze towards the outdoor area whereby this area is well protected during the rainy season.
This villa is offered for long-term rent at THB 77,000 per month.
Min. 1 year contract.
Gardening, pool maintenance & internet are included in the rent.
2 months security deposit.
The villa is located on a small road towards the headland of Makham Bay, after passing a few houses of the villagers the villa is one of the last houses on that road.
Distances to main places:
Headstart International School 10 km
Central Festival 9 km
Phuket Town 6 km

War on drugs has done far more harm than good
War on drugs has done far more harm than good
No one says that alcohol does not do bad things to a lot of people. Yet we recognize that prohibition caused more harm than good. The promotion of crime and corruption, blindness and death from "wood" alcohol and other evils far outweighed any benefits from prohibition. We have taken a more sensible attitude toward tobacco. Yes, tobacco kills people and adds to our increasing health care costs. Yet we have recognized that there is a demand for tobacco that will be satisfied one way or another. We have quite sensibly recognized that criminalizing alcohol and tobacco would do more harm than good.
In the editorial of Jan. 2, "Let's cool the rush to foolishly legalize marijuana," Ben Barber conveniently overlooks the massive harm that has been done by our, so-called, "war on drugs." The huge incarceration rate of this country (second only to communist China) is a national disgrace. Some studies show that drug use is greater among white Americans than blacks and Latinos. Yet the incarceration rate is much higher for blacks and Latinos. The simple fact is that most of the "druggies" that are arrested and locked up are low-level dealers or people incidentally involved with drugs. The people who most profit from the war on drugs are the ones who have more to fear from other drug dealers than the law. Very few of those arrested are violent offenders who need to be taken off the streets. The economic and social damage to these people are huge.
To borrow a term from the headline for Barber's editorial, a lot of people do "foolish" things with alcohol, tobacco, drugs and other things. He points that out very well in his editorial. If these people persist in self destruction and do not seek the help that is available, there is nothing anyone can do. He makes it obvious that the drug laws have not prevented that. As to the war on drugs, it goes way beyond foolish; it would be better characterized as "criminal."

TravelPod Member ReviewsHotel Kunturwassi Colca Cabanaconde
They had one of the worst breakfasts I've seen. I got there 30 minutes before breakfast was supposed to be over but the only choices were waffles or the one danish left, which soon disappeared. The milk was gone. The OJ was empty. There was no butter for the waffle. It was pathetic.
The Internet service is as bad as their breakfast. The connection is too slow to support video and it often drops out entirely sometimes dropping your connection every minute or two.
I also have seen two cockroaches by the sink, one of the drawers of the desk is broken and sticks out in the way and their TV doesn't get AMC.

My last day in America!
... something I'd not had before and something totally American. So biscuits and gravy it was. So the biscuits are basically a savoury scone and the gravy is kind of like a cheesy white sauce. Not what I would imagine biscuits and gravy to be. Tasted amazing though and the girls said I was having something very southern and a proper Texas breakfast. So good!!

There are two men on the corner. One is wearing an earphone while the other peers into the door of a building. All the neighbors know perfectly well why they are there. A dissident lives on one of the floors of the building; two members of the political police watch who comes and goes and keep a car nearby to follow him wherever he goes. They don't try to hide because they want this person, who signs his name to his critical opinions, to know they're there; they want his friends to distance themselves so as not to end up caught in the network of control, in the spiderweb of vigilance.
It is not an isolated case. Here, every non-conformist has his own shadow -- or a whole group of shadows -- who follow him around. The so called "securities" also use sophisticated monitoring techniques that range from bugging phone lines and placing microphones in homes, to tracking the location of their targets through signals from their cell phones. The effects on the personal lives of those who suffer these operations are so devastating that we have come to refer to State Security by terrible names such as "The Apparatus," "The Armageddon," or "The Crusher."
But not even these soldiers dressed in civilian clothes can escape popular scorn. Several jokes are making the rounds about the inordinate number of "securities" surrounding each individual opponent. Whispering and looking over their shoulders, many comment sarcastically, "There is so much manpower needed in agriculture, and look at these guys here, spending the whole day watching someone who thinks differently." Because, indeed, what a contrast it would be if, instead of criminalizing opinion, they devoted themselves to productive labor; if instead of projecting their long shadows over the critics of the system, they let them fall over some lettuce or tomatoes, over the furrows -- now empty -- that they could help to plant.

Small populations of stem cells sustain the limbal-corneal and the conjunctival lineages. In the limbal-corneal system, where stem cells localize preferentially to the limbus, total or zonal damage produces epithelial limbal stem cell deficiency syndromes. In recent years, a variety of surgical stem cell transplant methodologies have been applied to reestablish the limbal stem cell niche for vision restoration. The long term goals of our studies are a) understand the functional nature of ocular surface stem cells, in particular those of the limbus;and b) apply this critical knowledge for the optimization of ex vivo limbal cell population expansion to improve surface reconstructive procedures based on transplantation of stem cell-rich cell populations. During the initial funding period of this grant we characterized small stem cell cohorts known as side populations (SPs) from both conjunctival and limbal epithelia. Our studies showed that these cells derive from cells that have been in the slow cycling state in vivo and to display several other features recognized for stem cells in vitro. Based on finding during this period we now propose, in Specific Aim1 to test the hypothesis that cell cohorts expressing CD62E or excluding mitotrakcker deep red constitute additional component of an heterogeneous stem/precursor limbal and conjunctival epithelial cell population and in Specific Aim2 to test the hypothesis that observed overexpressions of several genes capable of affecting gene transcription globally and usually referred as master or cell fate genes (PAX6, MEIS1, SIX1, MSX1, HES1 ID1, the MXD1/MAX system controlling MYC activity) contribute to cell stemness in the limbal epithelium. The knowledge acquired in the comparative characterization of the cell cohorts associated with the stem/precursor cell compartment in Aim 1, combined with the identification of gene expressions and signal pathways that are associated with preservation or loss of the stem/precursor cell state in Specific Aim 2, will provide the cogent basis to improve strategies for either maximization of stem/precursor cell yields during limbal cells expansion in vitro, or alternatively, facilitate stem cell rescue from generic proliferative (basal) epithelial cells through reversion of phenotype for the benefit of reconstructive ocular surface procedures.
Specific aim 3 seeks to apply the knowledge and expertise acquired in the two previous specific aims for the genetic and/pharmacological manipulation of freshly isolated limbal epithelial cells to attain effective expansion of these cells while maintaining their capacity for corneal epithelial function recovery in vivo.
Damage to the limbus by chemical or thermal injuries, microbial infection, or autoimmune reactions result in limbal stem cell deficiencies (LSCD) causing visual loss and blindness. Transplants with expanded limbal cell populations incorporating stem cells can restore or improve vision. We now propose a roadmap to test the impact of genes identified in these stem cells on their phenotype and survival and to apply the gained insight to increase the content of stem cells in expanded limbal populations and thereby improve the outcome of corneal reconstruction surgeries.

I want to add my thanks to others' for David Barrett's management of the
list and his efforts at finding alternatives.
I was very relieved at the news that Majordomo is a possibility to be
explored. I was on a list managed through Majordomo and did not
encounter any problems. I have no idea how the software actually
functioned, but the members encountered no technical difficulties, did
not receive ads, and did not get spam as a consequence of membership. I
was quite worried about our switching to Yahoo because of the potential
for nuisance.
I get a lot of spam now. I'm not sure how my address fell into the
spammers' clutches, though the beginning of the avalanche coincided
suspiciously with my signing up to receive news updates from the
Sacramento Bee (our local newspaper). It's alarming how careful one has
to be.

"I like this vintage style Santa graphic, but I read that the designer used a cutting machine to cut a red vinyl decal to afix to the cream painted wood board. I don't know what kind of cutting machine she is talking about and I wonder how pricey it is? I'd like an alternative to getting that Santa on there."
"This wall decor is very chic with any message you write on it! And it couldn't be easier. However, another option to using foam core board would be to actually buy an old thrift store bulletin board and spray paint it black. I think it would give the wall art a little bit more of a lived-in rustic look as the cork board adds texture and interest."
"This DIY holiday project is something that I would like to do at home myself. This craft is not for everyone's taste, but if you like a certain minimalist decorating approach and you've got a creative eye then this is for you! At first I did not even notice the picture frame in the background. It's used to attach the branch to it. Cute idea!"

The cute chalkboard design around the birdhouse makes it easy to customize and decorate. Get the kids involved in the creation of this fun teacher gift.
- Wood bird house
- 3 dozen pencils
- Metal ruler
- Sheets of double sided tape
- Silver tooling foil
- Scrap pieces of chipboard
- Black chalkboard spray paint
- Back Sharpie permanent marker
- Scissors & craft knife
- Tin snips
- Embossing tool (or dull pencil or dull pointy dowel)
- Paint pens & white-out pen
- Electric pencil sharpener
- Scroll saw or some kind of hacksaw for cutting pencils
Spray paint your birdhouse black.
Measure each of the side of the house and cut the metal ruler to fit.
These shapes will decorate each of the front bird entrances.
Darken the embossed designs with a little bit of black Sharpie. Wipe off excess ink.
Fine tipped white-out correction ink pens work really well!
Use a scroll saw or hack saw to shorten the pencils. Then use the electric pencil sharpener to sharpen each pencil. Dull the tips a little by rubbing them on a piece of sandpaper.

First of all though, some cosseting. We are tactfully reminded of the advantages of staying in one hotel while our guests stay at another. We are also asked, tentatively, whether we want to spend our time "quietly enjoying each other's company" or whether we need the distraction of activities (to take our minds off what we have just done?)
Those thoughtful people who make Thomson brochures have remembered just about everything, including suggestions on how to pack the wedding dress, and the interesting information that the airline Britannia does not charge excess baggage for the carriage of wedding dresses. We are also reminded that our on-site wedding co-ordinator will arrange the wedding day hair appointment and other beauty treatments, as well as generally taking all the stress out of our lives.
And the wedding photos? There are plenty of pictures of brides with fake tans and impossible smiles in these pages, though the real-life Thomson couples (on pages 16-17) are reassuringly of our own planet.
To press the authenticity further, Thomson even gives us a detailed first- person account from a satisfied customer who married in the Dominican Republic.
At the end, by the way, the nasty small print of the legal requirements is listed not by bullet points but by tiny love hearts - just in case we forget that a marriage is supposed to be an affair of love.

My point for bringing this up in a body transformation program is very important. Although cinnamon capsules are known for their weight loss benefits, other advantages to your health are also present. If you are doing this for the first time, chances are you do not know what and how to do it.
Other costs, such as fees of expert witnesses, independent blood analysis and fees on serving subpoenas, may translate to extra costs on your end. Take for example in France a person accused of DUI can be given a long imprisonment. A DUI may seem like a minor offense to some, but if you are arrested for DUI you should seek an attorney that has the ability to handle DUI arrests and other drunk driving related offenses because these laws are highly specific and best handled by an attorney with experience and knowledge in this area.
Incredible, this is a advantageous web site.
I love the details on your websites. Thnx.

Very happy with the purchase so far. The quality is really there, it fits fantastic and it looks great. Fingers crossed that it performs as well.

I have used these covers for years on my Model A Roadster. They are good quality and work well, but here in the intense Florida sun, the fabric lasts about 18-24 months then the it rips really easily.
