Clinical Data 60 years Caucasian male Tumorigenic No Effects No, not tumorigenic in nude mice Comments These sequences are known to bind to and inactivate endogenous p53 and Rb proteins respectively. Southern blot analysis shows that stable integration of the transfected genes occurred. The cell line resembles morphologically the basal cells of the normal human bronchial epithelium, and is not tumorigenic in athymic nude mice. The cells are able to form tubules when grown in a basement membrane like matrix, and they retain the ability to undergo terminal squamous differentiation in response to phorbol esters or upon reaching confluence. Cells are non-viable in DMSO and should be frozen in culture Medium with 10% glycerol. Original authentication testing at ATCC by isoenzymology indicated that this was a human cell line. Recent additional speciation using a mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I (CO1) assay has shown that this cell line is cross-contaminated with bovine cells. Additional more sensitive PCR assays of the original token lot have also indicated a low level of bovine cross-contamination in that material as well. Complete Growth Medium The base medium for this cell line is provided by Invitrogen (GIBCO) as part of a kit: Keratinocyte Serum Free Medium (K-SFM), Kit Catalog Number 17005-042. This kit is supplied with two additives required to grow this cell line (bovine pituitary extract (BPE) and human recombinant epidermal growth factor (EGF). To make the complete growth medium, you will need to add the following components to the base medium: 0.05 mg/ml BPE - provided with the K-SFM kit 5 ng/ml EGF - provided with the K-SFM kit 10 ng/ml cholera toxin - not provided with kit NOTE: Do not filter complete medium Subculturing Volumes used in this protocol are for 75 cm2 flasks; proportionally reduce or increase amount of dissociation medium for culture vessels of other sizes. Remove and discard culture medium. Briefly rinse the cell layer with 0.25% (w/v) Trypsin - 0.53 mM EDTA solution containing 0.5% polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). Add 2.0 to 3.0 mL of Trypsin-EDTA-PVP solution to flask and observe cells under an inverted microscope until cell layer is dispersed (usually within 5 to 15 minutes). Note: To avoid clumping do not agitate the cells by hitting or shaking the flask while waiting for the cells to detach. Cells that are difficult to detach may be placed at 37°C to facilitate dispersal. Add 2.0 to 3.0 mL of complete growth medium containing 0.1% soybean trypsin inhibitor and 0.1% bovine serum albumin and aspirate cells by gently pipetting.Transfer cell suspension to a centrifuge tube and spin at approximately 125 X g for 5 to 10 minutes. Discard supernatant. Resuspend the cell pellet in fresh growth medium. Add appropriate aliquots of the cell suspension to new culture vessels. Incubate cultures at 37°C. Subculture before the cells become confluent.

Tuesday, April 5 2011 - Civil Liberties-Police State
Psychologist behind Gitmo interrogations faces ethics complaint
By Eric W. Dolan
On Wednesday, the New York State Supreme Court will consider whether the state must investigate an ethics complaint filed against a New York State-licensed psychologist and major in the U.S. Army who allegedly co-authored, implemented, and monitored an abusive interrogation program at Guantanamo Bay.
The Center for Justice and Accountability (CJA) and the New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU) asked the court to direct the New York State Office of Professional Discipline (OPD) to investigate a misconduct complaint against Dr. John Francis Leso, who led the first Behavioral Science Consultation Team at Guantanamo Bay.
The OPD is responsible for regulating the ethical conduct of all New York-licensed psychologists, but has refused to investigate Dr. Leso's alleged role in the use of abusive interrogation techniques at Guantanamo Bay.
The office is accused of failing to investigate Leso's misconduct, despite being presented with numerous documented allegations of Leso's violations of professional standards.
According to the CJA, Leso violated professional standards for New York psychologists by recommending physically and psychologically abusive interrogation techniques to be used against detainees. He is also accused of personally supervising interrogations where his techniques were being used and participating in the interrogations himself.
The CJA said the techniques were adapted from illegal methods used by the Chinese and North Korean governments against U.S. prisoners of war.
"By refusing to even investigate the actions of Dr. Leso, the State of New York has indicated that it will immunize medical professionals who violate the most fundamental precepts upon which good medicine is practiced, including the bedrock principle that a doctor shall do no harm," said Dr. Steven Reisner, a New York psychologist and longtime anti-torture advocate who originally filed the complaint against Dr. Leso.
"I believe that granting blanket immunity from investigation to medical professionals who design, justify and inflict pain and abuse is contrary to our core common values, professional medical principles, and New York law," Reisner added.
Leso is a member of the American Psychological Association and his New York State-license is valid through July 2012. He has not yet been reprimanded for his conduct at Guantanamo by the military, the American Psychological Association, or the state of New York.

Video: How to Fix a Running Toilet
Toilets haven't changed much in the last 80 years. After a flush, water still fills a tank, lifting a float that shuts off the water when it reaches a certain level. A lever still opens a flapper to cause the flush, falling back into place when the water level drops. So it's no surprise (nor any consolation) that we face the same flush problems today that our grandparents did. Sometimes the flush is too wimpy, sometimes the water keeps running, and sometimes the bowl doesn't refill.
Our ace plumbing consultant has a simple four-step strategy to solve 95 percent of these problems. You can complete the first three steps in five minutes. That'll solve most problems. The fourth step is usually easy too, but not always. More on this later. These steps work for most toilets but not for pressure-assist models.
Check the fill tube
Remove the tank lid and find the fill tube. It's a small flexible tube that runs from the fill valve to the overflow tube. While the tank refills, this tube squirts enough water down the overflow tube to refill the bowl after the completed flush. If this tube falls off or the water stream misses the overflow tube, the bowl won't fill and your next flush will be wimpy (that is, won't develop a strong siphon). Reattach the fill tube and make sure it perches about 1 in. above the rim of the overflow tube. Flush the toilet and watch the water stream to make sure it goes down the overflow tube.
Adjust the fill height
The water level in the tank is controlled by an adjustable float. A float that's set too low produces a weak flush; if it's set too high, water spills into the overflow tube and the fill valve won't shut off. The water will keep running. Look for the fill level mark on the inside back of the tank and mark it on the overflow tube so you can see it more easily. If you can't find it, measure down about 1 in. on the overflow tube and make a mark. Then flush the toilet and see if the water reaches and stops at that mark. If not, adjust the float up or down. If you have an old toilet, you'll have to bend the brass rod that connects to the float ball to make adjustments. But with newer toilets you usually turn a screw or slide a clip along a rod. Flush the toilet after each adjustment.
Also make sure that the water level is at least an inch below the C-L (critical level) marked on the fill valve. You can adjust the height of many valves to raise or lower the C-L.
Occasionally the fill valve simply won't shut off, which means that it's defective. If so, turn the water supply off at the shutoff under the tank. Buy a replacement valve (sold at hardware stores and home centers). You don't have to match the old one; many, like the one shown, fit most toilets. It's a 15-minute change-out.
Adjust the flush handle/flapper chain
A chain that's too short or tangled won't allow the flapper to close and water will continue to leak into the bowl. This causes the fill valve to cycle on and off to refill the tank. A chain that's too long, or a flush rod that hits the the tank lid, won't open the flapper wide enough to stay open for the full flush. You'll find yourself having to hold the lever to complete a good flush.
To avoid these problems, adjust the linkage in the chain to leave only a slight bit of slack when closed. Cut the chain at the rod to leave only about an inch extra to reduce the potential for tangles. Then put the tank lid back on and make sure the flush rod doesn't strike the lid when you press the lever. If it does, bend it down slightly and readjust the chain.
Replace the flapper
If you've completed the first three steps and your toilet still runs, chances are you have a worn-out flapper. Turn off the water, remove the old flapper and take it to the store to find an exact replacement. (Hardware stores often carry a wide variety.) Most flappers snap over ears on the overflow tube. Others have a ring that slips over the tube.
Now here's the catch. You may not find an exact match. The range of flapper styles has mushroomed over the last 15 years, and you may find 15 to 20 flapper options on the store shelf. Some packages include specific brand and model information (so note yours before you leave home). Others have a "universal" label. If you can't find an exact replacement, try the closest one and pick up a universal type as well. They're cheap, and the extra one just might save you a second trip to the store! (Avoid the "adjustable" types unless you're replacing an adjustable one.)
Install the new flapper and make sure it opens and closes freely. Then test it. If the water continues to run or runs intermittently, you're not getting a good seal. Try a different flapper.
If you just can't find a flapper that seals, consider replacing the entire overflow tube/flapper. On most toilets (two-piece), this means removing the tank. It's not difficult and you don't need special tools. It'll take you about an hour, and you'll avoid that expensive plumber service call.

The city consists of the closely built old town, together with a number of modern suburbs laid out in a gridiron pattern to the north and south, with many parks and wide streets. A sprawl of military cantonments lies to the east. The city's nucleus was a settlement around a mud fort, built in 1537 by a local chief, Kempe Gowda, and constructed of stone in 1761. Bangalore was the headquarters of the British administration from 1831 to 1881, when the raja was restored, but Britain retained an administrative and military presence until Indian independence in 1947. The city officially changed its name to Bengaluru in 2006.
Prominent buildings include the legislative building Vidhana Saudha (1956) and the High Court building , Attara Kacheri (19671867), which are situated across from one another. Also of note are the maharaja of Mysore's palace, the Mysore Government Museum (1866), and Tippu Sultan's fort and palace. Notable local scenic spots are the Lal Bagh (a botanic garden laid out in the 18th century), Cubbon Park (a garden with a lake, aquarium, and library), Hesaraghatta Lake, Chamaraja Lake Reservoir, and Nandi (Nandidrug) Hill Station, a summer resort 38 miles (61 km) north, which is the site of two temples to the god Shiva.
Bangalore has pleasant summers and mild winters. Summer temperatures average in the low to mid-90s F (about 34 °C), while winter temperatures rarely drop below 60 °F (16 °C). The city receives about 36 inches (914 mm) of annual rainfall, which has been inadequate as a water supply for its increasing population and industry. Most of the city's water comes from the Kaveri (Cauvery) River. The city government has undertaken projects to develop more reservoir lakes in the city and to reuse water.
Aircraft, railway-coach, and machine-tool installations in the city are run by the federal government, and the state owns plants manufacturing electrical and telephone equipment, porcelain, and soap. Privately owned entities produce pharmaceuticals, textiles (silk), radio parts, glassware, leather and footwear, agricultural implements, paper, and watches. Granite exports are sustained by the large number of quarries in and around the city. Sandalwood products and agarbattis (incense sticks) are also manufactured in Bangalore.
From the late 20th century the city became a centre of high-technology industry, and a number of large multinational technology corporations opened offices there. In addition, major domestic firms such as Infosys and Wipro established headquarters in the city. In 1998 an information technology park opened in Whitefield, about 10 miles (16 km) from Bangalore. As a self-contained city with hundreds of technology, software, and telecommunications companies, the park is known as the Silicon Valley of India.
Situated at the focus of southern India's road system, Bangalore lies on the Varanasi-Kanniyakumari National Highway, is connected by major roads with Mumbai and Chennai (Bombay and Madras), and is linked to Kerala state via Mysore, through the Nilgiri Hills and Palghat Gap. It is also a junction for the Southern Railway's broad-gauge line (from Chennai) with an extensive metre-gauge system to the north and west. Hindustan Airport, 5 miles (8 km) east, has flights to Mumbai, Chennai, Mangalore, and Colombo (Sri Lanka). The city has a fairly extensive bus network, and taxis and rickshaws are easily accessible. The first portion of a rapid-transit commuter rail system opened in central Bangalore in 2011.
Bangalore University (succeeding a branch of the University of Mysore, founded 1916) was opened in 1964, as was the University of Agricultural Sciences. The city also has several evening colleges and a public library and is the site of the Indian Institute of Science (1909), the Raman Research Institute (1943), the National Aeronautical Research Laboratory (1960), and a division of the National Power Research Institute (1960). Private universities proliferated in the early 21st century. Bangalore is also a centre for publishing (newspapers and periodicals) and is the headquarters of the regional radio broadcasting station.
The surrounding region is drained by the Arkavati and Kanva rivers, which are tributaries of the Kaveri River. Millet and oilseeds are the main crops, and cattle and sheep are grazed. Pop. (2001) city, 4,301,326; urban agglom., 5,701,456.

This is the error message I received:Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in signup_ck.php on line 40
I am trying to teach myself to use PHP and MySQL together. I have a site that needs a special area that should have a login, so I found a set of scripts, and started playing with the code. Now I get an error message. This is the file listed in the error message.
I know this is not nice code, but the scripts I found were using HTML3 and I tried to clean things up using HTML5 and CSS.
Any guidance will be welcome.
include "include/db_login.php";// database connection details stored here
// Collect the data from post method of form submission //

if(!isset($userid) or strlen($userid) <5){
$msg=$msg."User id should be 5 or more than 5 char length

$status= "NOTOK";}

$status= "NOTOK";}

$status= "NOTOK";}
if ( strlen($password) <8 ){

echo "Welcome, You have successfully submitted new member information

Click here to login
";
Are you sure your have connected to the database correctly?
if(!ctype_alnum($userid)){$msg=$msg."User id should contain alphanumeric characters only
";$status= "NOTOK";}
You should stop processing at this point, as $userid could contain injected SQL which nasty pasties can insert horrible commands to your server, ie DELETE FROM USERS.
same here
query("insert into member(userid,password,email,name_last,name_first) values('$userid','$password','$email','$name_last','$name_first')");
Try adding mysql_real_escape_string to escape any characters that will allow for SQL inject. Also consider casting your $userid to an int, ie $userid = (int)$_POST['userid'] it will then no longer require escaping.
First, thanks for the quick response. Posting that message was the last thing I did before shutting down for the night.
I have an error message if I am not connected to the database. I have tested this and it worked, but may need some improvement. As I said, I am a rank beginner with PHP, and this is my first attempt at working with MySQL.
error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE | E_NOTICE); //report errors
function connecttodb($servername,$dbname,$dbuser,$dbpassword)
global $link;
$link=mysql_connect ("$servername","$dbuser","$dbpassword");
if(!$link){die("Could not connect to MySQL");}
mysql_select_db("$dbname",$link) or die ("could not open db".mysql_error());
As for the remainder of your message, that is obviously some of the guidance I need. I will have to study this and incorporate it into my code.
You said I should stop processing if the userid failed the alphanumeric check. I changed that line of code to read:
if(!ctype_alnum($userid)){die("User id should contain alphanumeric characters only
");}
I then tested by entering Webmaster, processing stopped and I was given the message I expected if I tried to use non alphanumeric characters.
What am I doing wrong?
Maybe there's a leading or trailing space?
If you trim($var) does it work?
If not, try var_dump($var) to see what it is.
I will check using trim when I get back to my computer(in about 8 hours). After I play around with it maybe I can make some progress.
Back to the original problem...Have you run the query to make sure it doesnt throw an error? The reason i say that is this...compare the lines....
if(mysql_num_rows(mysql_query("SELECT userid FROM member_tbl WHERE userid = '$userid'"))){
$query=mysql_query("insert into member(userid,password,email,name_last,name_first) values('$userid','$password','$email','$name_last','$name_first')");
sings song One of these things is not like the other....
Thanks. I have fixed that. Will test things again and see if I can figure out where my next issues will be. (I suspect I will have many as I learn some new things.)
I am now getting past the error with the non-alphanumeric characters, and have reached this error:
Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in signup_ck.php on line 39
That line currently reads:
if(mysql_num_rows(mysql_query("SELECT userid FROM member_tbl WHERE userid = '$userid'"))){$msg=$msg."Userid already assigned. Please select another userid.
";
I looked at PHP.net and I thought I was checking the database to see if the userid was already in use. The database table member_tbl is currently empty, so I should expect to get my "Userid already assigned." message.
I did notice the PHP.net did not show an example of this using IF. Am I using the wrong function?
Almost forgot.
I entered this into my code:$trimmed = trim($userid);var_dump($trimmed);
The result was: string(1) "0"
Can I now enter something like $trimmed = $userid; to get the trimmed userid ready for the remainder of the code?
I need a schema for your table to be able to debug this further.
I actually have two tables, login_tbl and member_tbl.login_tbl has:id INT(6) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT user_id VARCHAR(10) NOT NULLip VARCHAR(50) NOT NULLtime DATETIME NOT NULL status CHAR(3) NOT NULL' PRIMARY KEY (id)
member_tbl has:user_id VARCHAR(10) NOT NULLpassword VARCHAR(10) NOT NULLemail VARCHAR(50) NOT NULLname_last VARCHAR(50) NOT NULLname_first VARCHAR(50) NOT NULLPRIMARY KEY (user_id)
I have built a form to enter the member data.
<form name="form1" action="signup_ck.php" onsubmit="return validate(this)" method="post">

User ID (alphanumeric chars only): <input class="right" type="text" name="userid">

Password: <input type="password" name="password">

Re-enter Password: <input type="password" name="password2">

Email: <input type="text" name="email">

Last Name: <input type="text" name="name_last">

First Name: <input type="text" name="name_first">

<input type=hidden name=todo value=post>

<input type=submit value=Submit>

Hope this is what you are looking for.
Yup, because i see the problem.sings song again....
member_tbl has:
`<font color='"Red"'>user_id</font>` VARCHAR(10) NOT NULL
if(mysql_num_rows(mysql_query("SELECT userid FROM member_tbl WHERE userid = '$userid'"))){
One of these things is still not like the other....
(Future Hint: The 'is not a mysql resource' error most normally means "Your query was rejected by the server". If you encounter this in the future, run the query through your database engine and you'll find out why. [In this case, mysql would have barked "Field userid does not exist"])
Thank you. I am no longer getting warning messages. Now i am just getting the messages I have inserted into my code.
Can I run each line of code via phpMyAdmin to catch my errors?
Any query you can run through PHPmyAdmin. You'll have to supply some fake data if you want it to work correctly (IE: Look at your query. phpMyAdmin is going to have no idea what $userid is supposed to be (and will actually handle it as a string literal), so if you want to test it with user_id 1, you'll have to put into phpMyAdmin SELECT userid FROM member_tbl WHERE userid = '1' )
Great! I will put in some entries for a couple of different "members" and see what I can learn.
If I don't get this started tonight, it will be next week before i can do anything with it. I will be visiting my newborn grandson this weekend.
Now, I am getting this error:

Missing an end brace,
DMWDave, Thanks for pointing out the missing end brace. It now works, and I can start setting up the proper checks and tests to get this going.
StarLion, Thanks for pointing me to the list of common problems. That should give me an idea of where to look for the errors in my code.

Deep Dish surprises Chicago with live return at The Mid
Listen to Deep Dish on iHeartRadio
Deep Dish fans have been anticipating a live return from the duo during their announced show at Miami's Ice Palace during Miami Music Week - but it looks like the guys just couldn't wait to get to step into the booth together again to "say hello." Dubfire and Sharam surprised Chicago with a special set at The Mid over the weekend!
The guys came together for the first time since 2006 and played everything from house to techno and more - but the biggest surprise of all was the debut of three brand new Deep Dish songs.
The duo recently announced a comeback single due out in March "Quincy," but it looks like there is more new music on the way from the guys.
"Quincy" will be released March 17th, but for fans heading to Miami for MMW, it wouldn't be surprising if they heard some more brand new Deep Dish tunes at their show at Ice Palace Studios, set to take place March 29th.

Blazers lose another heartbreaker at home
The Portland Trail Blazers fell to 43-24 on the season and 24-9 at home with a 113-112 loss to the Golden State Warriors Sunday night at the Moda Center.
With the loss, Portland is now just 1.5 games ahead of the Warriors for the fifth seed in the Western Conference. Golden State now holds a 2-1 lead in the season series, with the fourth and final contest scheduled for April 13 in Portland.
After trailing for almost all of the first three quarters, the Warriors took the lead midway through the fourth quarter thanks to the hot shooting of Stephen Curry, who finished the game with 37 points, 28 of those coming in the second half.
"Disappointed to lose another close game," said Trail Blazers head coach Terry Stotts. "I thought we played a good game. Stephen Curry got hot in the second half. We had some miscommunication on giving up some threes, but it's just that we have to figure out ways to close out games and realize plays — when we had a 16, 18-point lead, we can't take our foot off the gas. Steph Curry, he's done that before and we couldn't get him under control."

The cost of recreation: bridging the budget in Mt. Pleasant
From our News Partners at WCBD-TV:
The Town of Mount Pleasant pays about $7 million per year for recreation. Recreation fees generate a little more than $2 million per year. The nearly $5 million the town pays after fees amount to about $61 per resident per year.
Many residents of Mount Pleasant spent part of their Wednesday evening at a meeting discussing questions about the town's recreation facilities.
Should services be cut? Should fees increase?
Those questions and more were part of the process of gathering information to see what should be done next.
It was a packed house at Alhambra Hall as consultants from Clemson University led the public through a series of questions designed to find public opinion regarding the town's recreation department.
Betsy Dross has lived in Mount Pleasant for years. "I think the recreation department is vital to our community. Just look at the kids out here playing right now."
Dross brought her son with her to the meeting. "My son plays baseball. (He) has come up through the town of Mount Pleasant Rec department from four years old. We started baseball at four years old, my husband and I were volunteer coaches that year. And he is now 14 and is still playing baseball."
Questions ranged from how much do you think residents should pay to join a team, to do you think taxes should go up to pay for recreation?
Each resident wrote down their answers to multiple choice questions.
Betsy said, "I'm thrilled that the town is asking for input from the residents."
Not everyone agreed with the format of the meeting. Doug Bradfford wanted to speak, but he was told he could not. "I thought the meeting was a sham."
Doug says there shouldn't even be a discussion about possibly cutting recreation services at all. "You know, Ms. Paige, who I love and adore, is elected. She raises taxes and we talk about cutting recreation for the kids."
He didn't like that there was no public comment session during the meeting. "I think it's an outrage. I think it makes the whole process a sham."
We asked Bob Brookover, one of the consultants who ran the meeting, why they didn't allow the public to comment. "Those things could get a little bit out of hand in a room with 200 people. The appropriate place for those comments to be made would be, I would suggest, and I suggested to him as well, show up at a city council meeting and voice your opinion there."
Brookover said they are still studying the town recreation and cost, but so far, "the town is pretty in line with what we would expect to see in most areas."
Bob says they will spend the entire day Thursday working on the data that was gathered Wednesday night. They then will present the information, along with possible recommendations for the recreation department, to the town Friday morning.

Lithium-Ion Battery Model
Fanny Littmarck January 21, 2013
On Friday I wrote about designing safer lithium-ion batteries, and showed you a few resources for helping people do just that. Now I'd like to show you a lithium-ion battery model and briefly run through how it can be created in COMSOL Multiphysics in three sequential studies.
Geometry of a lithium-ion battery. Three unit cells, one inlet connector channel, and one outlet
connector channel in the cooling fins.
Liquid Cooled Lithium-Ion Battery Model
The lithium-ion battery model in question simulates the temperature profile in several battery cells and aluminum cooling fins in a liquid-cooled li-ion battery pack. It's based on two assumptions. Namely, that the battery material and cooling fluid material properties can be calculated using an average temperature for the battery pack, and that the fluctuations in heat generation during the load cycle are notably slower than the heat transport within the battery pack. What does this mean for the model? Well, the first assumption works if the temperature variations in the battery pack are small. The second assumption just means that the thermal equilibrium is quasi-static for the given battery heat source and at a given operational point during the load cycle. (Quasi-stationary processes simplify theoretical thermal studies).
Supporting the second assumption: the velocity magnitude in the first
cooling fin infers that the residence time for the fluid time in the plates
is in a range of mere seconds.
The model is solved sequentially using COMSOL Multiphysics and the Batteries & Fuel Cells Module and the Heat Transfer Module, with one study per physics interface (three in total). First, the fluid flow of the liquid-cooled battery pack is modeled. The fluid is modeled using the same material properties as water, calculated using the input temperature. This is consistent with the first assumption, stated above. Next, a time-dependent study is conducted, solving solely for the 1D battery model. Here, the battery model is assumed to be of the same temperature as the cooling fluid's inlet temperature. Finally, a stationary study is carried out, solving the quasi-stationary temperature of the battery pack. This step combines steps one and two (using the flow velocity from the first, and the average heat source taken from the last time step of the time-dependent simulation from the second study).
Temperature in the lithium-ion batteries: the temperature variation is greater within a single cell (xz-plane) than through the depth of the pack (the y-axis).
Temperature of the cooling fluid.

Hello, Just signed up last night on the forum and wanted to say hello
Living in california by the ocean for the past 50 years and just bought a house 60 miles inland in a place called frazier park at 5000 ft. elevation
and lovin it.There's lots of critters up here in the mountains.deer, bobcat,
mountain lions, cayotes,and bear etc.all living in the hills around my house
now instead of having to plan and pack for a hunting trip and driving 2 hours to go huntin I just drive 5 min down the road and go huntin! life is good! The archery bear season here opened aug 20th and I've been going every afternoon after work. found lots of tracks(one set of tracks measure 11 inches)but nothing in the freezer yet.
Went on a scouting trip today for deer and saw a couple of nice ones!
The archery deer opener is this saterday so I'm lookin foward to that.
I'm in the D-13 zone and if anyone plans doing the opener here this saturday and needs a huntin partner drop me an e-mail
Sounds like a great place to live. It's nice when you can hunt real close to home.Chris Christenson - Admin

Conference Synopsis
Music, Mind and Medicine: Creativity and Consciousness in Clinical Care is a two-day event that will present and examine the current state of scientific, artistic, and clinical thinking around the use of music in therapy, medicine, and education. A group of world class experts, many of whom are trained both as scientist-clinicians as well as highly accomplished musicians in their own right, will convene to meet the primary objectives of the conference:
- The presentation of the most contemporary thinking and "cutting edge" research related to the neuroscience of music and its relationship to therapy, medicine, and human development
- Emphasize the unique social and emotional characteristics of improvisation and its connection to creativity and consciousness
- Development of the most important questions and methods to pursue for future research, clinical practice, brain development, and expansion of artistic expression.
Through a series of presentations, performances, and experiential opportunities, the panel and conference attendees will engage in a dialogue structured to deepen our understanding of all aspects of music production and perception. This includes the musical and extra-musical processes involved with extemporaneous music-making, the underlying neural correlates of improvisation, and the application of that knowledge toward clinical applications of music. Both days of the conference will include performances, lectures, and audience participation to generate a more complete understanding of music, creativity, and improvisation, including its cognitive, emotional, and social implications.
Interested attendees will include physicians, musicians, health care practitioners, educators, music therapists, and psychologists/counselors; generally, those involved with research, music, and/or the clinical treatment of people with developmental, neurologic, and mental health disorders.
Conference Concert: In Celebration of the 100th Anniversary of the School of Music at Western Michigan University
An evening concert will feature Grammy-nominated and MacArthur "Genius" award winner, Regina Carter and the Regina Carter quartet. Through her albums, incessant touring and various guest appearances and collaborations, Regina has developed into a distinctly diverse musical personality. She has repeatedly toured throughout the world, was the first jazz artist and African American to play Niccolo Paganini's famed Guarneri "Cannon" violin, has been featured with several symphony orchestras and performed with artists as diverse as Aretha Franklin, Lauryn Hill, Billy Joel, Kenny Barron and Mary J. Blige.

My premature son seems to be congested often
I am the mum of a preterm baby boy who was born at 32 weeks. It seems as though my son has been congested more times then not since he was about 2 or 3 months old. He is now 8 months old and I am wondering if this issue is because he was preterm. Do premature babies have congestion problems often? If so, is there anything I can do to prevent this problem?

Hi Jen,
If your son does not have a viral infection (like a cold) then he could very well be sensitive to cow milk. Do you know his blood type?
People with blood type A produce more mucus and phlem when they ingest cow milk products like milk, ice cream, cheese, cottage cheese, and yogurt.
My 3rd child is blood type A, and I noticed within a few days of birth that he was stuffy all the time. Like he had a stuffy nose, but he wasn't sick. I thought it might be allergies to dust (but the doctors told me babies can't be allergic to dust) and then I thought he might just have a cold (with no other symptoms). The doctor told me to give him a decongestant, which helped, but I didn't want him to have that often, and it didn't solve the problem (I'm all about getting to the root of the problem... the cause).
Then, when my son was almost 3 months old, he had open heart surgery to correct a congenital heart defect which he was born with. I expected him to be stuffy after surgery, but oddly, he had no problems at all with stuffiness.
Then, when we got him home, the stuffiness came back. As I was reading through my "Eat Right 4 Your Type" book, I learned that people with type A blood create more mucus from dairy products, especially cow milk products.
And then I figured it out. He was sensitive to the dairy I was eating. While he was in the hospital I didn't have any dairy. I stayed by his bed all the time, except for during nurse shift changes, and I ate dried fruits and nuts and drank water and juice. When I would go to the cafeteria during shift changes, I would grab a quick burger. But I never had any dairy... and so while I was pumping and breastfeeding my son in the hospital, he wasn't getting any lectins from dairy that had previously been in my breastmilk.
He was so sensitive, he was reacting to the lectins in my milk even after I had already digested the dairy. I proved this every so often when I would be tempted to have ice cream, and after eating it, my son would get stuffy again (poor baby). So for over 2 years, I avoided dairy, and once he was done breastfeeding, I was able to enjoy it again. A small price to pay for my baby to be able to breathe better without medication.
My son is now 14 years old and to this day, he has digestion challenges with cow milk. He did very well on goat milk which is easier to digest and even now will drink some goat milk on his cereal or just have oatmeal without any milk.
If you choose to offer goat milk in the future, try to find raw milk that is either very fresh (within a day or two of milking) or that has been frozen within a couple of hours of milking. It stores well in the freezer.
I hope this helps.
Warm Regards,

Kate- I never even thought about the fact that it could be due to diet. I'll have to look into this. Thank you so much for your help. I know sometimes he has had other symptoms, but sometimes it seems that it is just a bad congestion problem.
Thank you again,

Hi Jen,
If you avoid dairy to see if it is part of the cause, you should see a change in him within a week. It should be noticeable fairly quickly.
Please post back and let me know if it works. If not, then try to give a little more information surrounding when you notice he gets stuffy, how long he stays stuffy for, etc. so we can try to figure it out.
Warm Regards,

Lessons From the Newtown Tragedy
A years-old video surveillance installation at Newtown High School in Connecticut provides a blueprint for working in today's education market. Key factors in servicing your own community's schools need to involve demonstrated cost-savings and positive behavior modification.
It is still hard to believe that 20 innocent young children and six adults could be slaughtered in Newtown, Conn. For such a beautiful little town the experience was emotionally staggering. I have lived and worked there since I was an executive with General Electric before starting J.P. Freeman Co. in 1983.
The town center dates to 1705 and is in the National Register of Historic Places. Homes range to well more than $1 million. Houses of worship serve every denomination. The community's excellent school system sends 90% of its kids on to college. Yet, ironically, Newtown is now a tragic, even lethal word in our lexicon, referenced in many school security presentations.
If your security company is successful with its school presentations, you've probably done a good job educating school officials on the full range of benefits to be obtained from a new system. Electronic security is not a field educators know a lot about. No one ever expected a shooting at a Newtown elementary school. Yet, Newtown's high school did have to deal with a spate of shenanigans and property damages several years ago, and it needed to stop.
J.P. Freeman Co. would eventually be asked to provide consultative services to the high school. We felt sharing that experience with other security companies could help prepare the groundwork for their own school efforts. So what follows is a real-world example of how the high school was secured, and the results of our work which we fully documented. (Note: we are business consultants, not system sellers and installers. But as a long-time local business, we were asked to be of service to our community.
Validating the Worth of a Security System
From reading my former "By the Numbers" column in SSI, the security director at Newtown High School invited me to a meeting. He wanted to curb student behaviors that were proving difficult to stop, even with an onsite policeman. He thought electronic security could do the trick, but needed lots of help with product selection, installation placement and system specifications.
We surveyed the school and developed a plan that we felt could meet two basic challenges — student behavior and cost. The end result was that the net cost and savings of the new system both proved to be very pleasant surprises to town managers. (If you'd like more details about the system design and installation, E-mail [email protected])
Our only regret is that no one ever thought our little Sandy Hook Elementary School would ever need this kind of protection. While the recent Boston Marathon bombings and the plot to derail a Toronto-area passenger train may have involved possible terrorist organizations, the Newtown massacre did not. As in the case of the shooting of former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in an Arizona shopping center, the Newtown shooting involved a mentally deranged young man.
Adam Lanza had access to multiple guns his mother had purchased and taught him to shoot. Under normal circumstances the mother could have sought help for her son from mental health professionals. But ironically, the institution that serves the mentally ill in Fairfield County in Connecticut — among the wealthiest counties in the United States — is located in Newtown. And the government closed it several years ago to save money on the assumption that newly developed psychosomatic drugs could replace the need to hospitalize mentally ill people. Yet as we now know, patient follow-up after release is often inadequate. And Newtown is now forever connected to a mentally disturbed young man who had easy access to military-grade weapons. (As a veteran of the 101st Airborne Division and 2nd Infantry Division, I'm familiar with such arsenal.)
In short, here are the issues we had to address in equipping Newtown High School:
Privacy and taxes — School officials may be wary of the impact video surveillance cameras can have on privacy. Generally, school officials are not familiar with the after-effects and the benefits of video, access control and other systems, given their experience mostly has been with conducting fire drills. They'll ask, "Who will pay for it? Will it affect the town tax rate? Will people vote for it?" Once we developed the economics they were pleasantly surprised.
Detailing — Specifying a proposed system's products and usage is easy for the security pro. But there's not much school system education on the details of ensuing benefits, such as savings in police costs, reduced insurance premiums, reduced janitorial expenses, better damage control, to say nothing of real evidentiary protections in a lawsuit against the school and the town from a wealthy parent.
Breaking-in — No, not breaking and entering, but breaking students and staff in to a better sense of freedom and new behaviors that come with "living with a system." One of the key benefits is a newfound sense of safety and peace of mind.
Teacher relaxation — Students become quickly aware of cameras in the classroom and the result is a better teaching environment. The bullies and troublemakers begin to behave as they realize that they're under surveillance and subject to serious penalties and parental discipline.
Police savings — Increased control of behavioral problems like bullying, vandalism and theft reduces the need for police time on campus, as well as the considerable costs incurred due to that presence.
Economics — One of the strongest financial cases for a good system is payback (a.k.a. return on investment) in much less than two years — resulting in operational savings from that point forward — depending on the scope and price of the system. (See further details in our report.)
When we finished overseeing the system's installation and testing, some of the more adventurous students decided to challenge it, but with no success. As these mischief-makers slowly conceded defeat by being recorded, caught, embarrassed and their parents notified, behavior continually improved.
The school superintendent summed it all up when he said to the local press, "We've always been proud of the openness and availability of the high school. Students and parents use the school at many times of day, so we needed to have a record of that activity as well as what transpired during the school day. I am happy to hear that it has worked."
The superintendent's words serve as a euphemism for controlling troublemaking students. But that's the language educators sometimes use to describe the problem.

Scientists have discovered mental condition that inhibits people from orienting themselves09/30/08
Scientists have discovered that there is a condition that makes it difficult for a portion of the population to orient themselves in an environment (know where they are and where they need to go). They have isolated it to the absense of a Y chromosome and believe that as much as 50% of the population could be affected.

Why Bankruptcy is better than Bailout09/30/08
By now, you have all heard that the bailout was defeated (despite my congressman's voting for it - he lost my vote in November). Here is an interesting article on why bankruptcy is better than bailout written by one of the
The obvious alternative to a bailout is letting troubled financial institutions declare bankruptcy. Bankruptcy means that shareholders typically get wiped out and the creditors own the company.
Bankruptcy does not mean the company disappears; it is just owned by someone new (as has occurred with several airlines). Bankruptcy punishes those who took excessive risks while preserving those aspects of a businesses that remain profitable.
Read the article.
Voting on the Bailout09/29/08
Well, the powers that be have come to a consensus and have proposed the updated version of the bailout. I think that it would be a lot better for the economy to FORCE the mortgage companies to restructure many of their shitty loans and use that $700,000,000,000 to fund it. Of course, the new proposal is $250,000,000,000 at a time.
No matter what your opinion of the bailout is, you better AT LEAST call your local representative. You probably should also call your 2 Senators and tell them what you think. I definately say call your congressman because he is up for re-election and will listen to his/her constituents. No matter what happens, the economy is going to suffer further and if they vote against what their voters want, they are going to get voted out.
Also, you might want to try calling both the local office AND the washington office. Why? Well...I tried calling my Senators' DC offices today. Arlen Specter's line is busy. Robert Casey's mailbox is full. I was able to contact them at the local office. But if you call AND get through on both lines, you will let your voice be heard twice.

Call your Congressman/Senator and tell them what you think about the $700 billion bailout09/24/08
No matter what you think, you should call your local Congressman and your state's two Senators and tell them what you think.
Contact information for the US Senate.
Contact information for the US House of Representatives.
Do yourself a favor and only call YOUR Senators and your ONE Congressman. Don't call Ron Paul unless you live in his district in Texas. Don't call Obama unless you live in Illinois.
Now...for my opinion:
You know what will happen if we spend the $700,000,000,000 to buy all those worthless mortgages? Supposedly credit will be easier to get. But wasn't that the problem in the first place? Wasn't the problem that people were taking out mortages on houses that they couldn't afford, so they could live above their means? You know what? Maybe we should only take out credit when we are capable of paying it back.
Do you really think that THIS bailout will be the one that works? We have already spent $300,000,000,000 on bailing out AIG and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. If we do this, we will have spent...now get ready for it: $1,000,000,000,000 to fix this fucked up economy. Oh, by the way...when we print this money to buy those worthless mortgages from Wall Street, you know what that does to your savings? It devalues it. Alluva sudden, $1 today is worth $0.90 tomorrow. If you earn $30 in interest at 5% in a year, you still are effectively losing $30 (at 10% inflation you gain $30, lose $60).
And what happens if we don't do this bailout. They say that people will lose jobs. They say the economy will stop working. They say that companies won't be able to get everyday loans to keep their businesses running (does a healthy business need everyday loans to make payroll?). They say that mortgages will be more expensive unless you have perfect credit. Should we just trust them? What ever happened to those Weapons of Mass Destruction, anyway?
When I call my Senators and Congressman tomorrow, I will let them know (only my Congressman is up for re-election), that if they vote for this bailout, they will be losing my vote for them.
But if they were to include Sirius XM in their bailout, I will forgive them and give them my vote back.

The King of Corea was communicated with, but without satisfactory results.
Two of the three religious who were to go to Corea returned to Manila.
It was on April 30th, 1867, that an expedition left Shanghai bound for Corea.
Probably the Tartar invaders who colonised Japan came by way of Corea.
In Corea, blinders made of black silk are put on the dead mans eyes, to prevent him from finding his way home.
The fiction of preserving the independence of Corea is abandoned.
In Corea, they cannot go quite so far as that, for things are done somewhat differently.
The Japonic province includes the coast of Japan and the Corea.
The commercial competition between the two Eastern nations now at war has of late years been very great in Corea.
In Amurland and Corea it is represented by the form orientis, Oberth.

These are worth the price, trust me. I have very flat feet that ache with other shoes, but with these I feel like I'm walking on cushy clouds. The sole is actually removeable and is just as good as what you would pay 15 bones for on a Dr Scholls insert, that alone is worth the extra money. And they look good, I have the grey ones and they go with everything just like a black pair would, and the inside contrasting colors look so sick.

I dont skate much anymore, but I sure wouldn't wear this as a skate shoe and am not enjoying these as a casual shoe either. These are comparable to the "vans off the wall".These things are the hottest pair of Vans I've ever owned, which is surprising since these are bare bones with no padding. The vans pictured for the main TNT 5 is NOT the TNT 5, you only see the actual shoe when picking the color. Had a lot of Vans over the years but this is the worst pair ever. They hurt my feet, are a half size bigger than the older TNT (which is pictured)

Cheap, thin & no support. Low quality.
By jmchale34
from New Jersey
Purchased 2 pairs of TNT 5 about a year ago and have had them in storage until previous TNTs wore down. Finally tried them out and I'm really disappointed with overall quality of these shoes. They are really thin & unsupportive and just lack the high quality of previous generations of the TNT series. They are just junk in my opinion and ill stick with worn older TNTs until a newer, better quality shoe comes along. I have bought multiple pairs of TNTs online since TNT II and there have been changes but these shoes are not worth the money I paid.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

How common is secondary infertility?
I'm just wondering whether secondary infertility is common? I've been hearing more and more people mentioning it. Is there any particular reason it occurs?
8th December 2013 06:34 AM #2
Secondary infertility is when a couple have problems conceiving a child after they have already successfully had a child. 4% of couples trying to conceive are estimated to have problems with secondary infertility. It can occur for a number of reasons such as an operation or infection that has affected your fertility levels.

Thanks for the explanation. It must be so hard on people especially when they've had success the first time. I have a few friends that are going through this at the moment and thankfully a few friends that have gone through it but now have second children - just with bigger age gaps than they expected

Secondary infertility is a lot more common in people who have their first child before the age of 30, and then try for their second after the age of 30 (even moreso, after the age of 35).
I conceived my first three children with no problem, so I was extremely surprised when I had trouble conceiving my fourth. It took me a year. Looking back, the things that caused my secondary infertility were...
1. The stress I went through with baby #3 who was born with a congenital heart defect and had to have open heart surgery at 2 months of age.
2. The fact that I was over 35 and my fertility had declined simply due to age.
I was able to turn my secondary infertility around, nutritionally, and I went on to conceive and give birth two two more children, my last just a month before my 41st birthday.
Increasing fertility can be done, even in many cases of secondary infertility, especially if the cause is not a physical one (ie. fallopian tubes blocked).
Warm Regards,
19th December 2013 06:31 AM #5
Yes, as Kate says there are a number of factors that could lead to secondary infertility. Something else to bear in mind is that when you already have one child (or more) it can be more difficult to have time to make love or keep track of your fertile period. If you are breastfeeding (particularly 'ecologically breastfeeding' i.e. breastfeeding on demand and being close to your baby in the day and night) then the average time for your periods to return (and so for you to be fertile again) is 14.5 months postpartum. However, for some women it can take 2 years for their periods to return.
I agree with you twolittleboys; it must be very difficult when you want another child and see the age gap getting bigger and bigger.
Best wishes,

Sting & Paul Simon touring together next year
Listen to Sting on iHeartRadio | Listen to Paul Simon on iHeartRadio
Paul Simon and Sting are teaming up for a tour.
The rockers tell "The New York Times" their collaborative trek stems from their pairing at a Robin Hood Foundation benefit back in May.
Simon says they performed "The Boxer" and "Fields of Gold" together, and afterward they "both looked at each other and said, 'Wow. That's pretty interesting.'" Sting adds that he and Paul "share this abiding curiosity about music and where it's going," but he admits that they "don't really have a clue" how their tour is "going to pan out."
"Paul Simon & Sting: On Stage Together" will feature each artist playing sets with their own bands as well as performing as a duo.
The trek is expected to begin in February. Dates will be announced on Tuesday.
