Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder affecting up to 20% of the general population. Despite the prevalence of the disorder, it remains poorly understood. This is reflected in a symptom based diagnostic scheme, the lack of a suitable biological marker and inadequate treatment options. Current knowledge suggests the disorder is as a result of a dysregulated brain-gut axis, a complex construct describing the bidirectional communication systems underpinning normal gastrointestinal functioning.
The investigators hypothesize here that the disruption of this brain-gut axis is facilitated by an increased degradation of tryptophan along the kynurenine pathway. This metabolic abnormality has the potential to impact on both GI and CNS signaling through its effects on serotonergic signaling and the impact of metabolites like kynurenic acid and quinolinic acid on cognitive processes respectively.
Previous data from our laboratory indicated increased tryptophan degradation in IBS patients and suggested the metabolites produced as putative biological markers of the condition. In this study the investigators aim to reconcile cognitive impairment in IBS with GI and CNS symptom severity and kynurenine pathway metabolites.
The investigators will establish these baseline measures in IBS compared to control subjects. A battery of cognitive assessments will be carried out using a computerized testing system. Standardized rating scales will be used to assess GI and CNS symptom severity. GC-MS/MS, a recently acquired technology platform in our laboratory, will be used to quantify plasma quinolinic acid levels.

Lyons targets Angel delight
Lily's Angel takes a step up in grade at Meydan on Thursday on what looks another fascinating day of racing.
Last Updated: 21/02/13 9:19am
Trained by Richard Fahey until September, she has been successful on all her four starts for Ger Lyons, including a valuable handicap at Leopardstown and a Listed race at Dundalk.
This is by far her toughest test to date, however, as she comes up against Igugu, South Africa's horse of the year from 2011-12, and Godolphin's Sajjhaa.
Mike de Kock's Igugu is now six but won two Grade Ones in her youth, but it is over a year since she ran and De Kock feels this is a tough ask on her first start back.
"It is almost 13 months since she ran," said De Kock.
"But she has been working well and we are very happy with her fitness levels and preparation for this comeback run.
"She is far from fully wound up but is ready for a run.
"She is going straight into a Group Two race which is a big ask after such a long break but we need to find out if that competitive edge is still there after such a long time off and a long trip to get here."
Godolphin have three runners, with Kieren Fallon on Dark Orchid and Paul Hanagan riding Spellwork.
Silvestre de Sousa is on their main hope Sajjhaa, who won in good style at the track last month.
Saeed bin Suroor trains all three horses and said: "She (Sajjhaa) won well first time and has improved in her work since then.
"The extra 200m will suit her but she carries a penalty in a better race and Igugu looks a big danger for Mike de Kock.
"We also have Spellwork and Dark Orchid in the race as they were when Sajjhaa won last time.
"Both should run well and are definitely fitter now."
Mahmood Al Zarooni runs the former Mark Johnston-trained Prussian, while Colliding Worlds is another Irish raider for Pat Shanahan.
Elsewhere on the card, Mick Halford saddles Invincible Ash and Russian Soul against Medicean Man in the five-furlong handicap, while Al Zarooni's Mandaean is out again in the Al Fahidi Fort after winning impressively on his Meydan debut.

Defence Innovation Stock and Total Factor Productivity
This study explores the impact of defense industrial production on the productivity of four Canadian three-digit SIC industries. A Tornqvist index of the annual change of total factor productivity is calculated. A defense production "innovation stock" is constructed from new data on defense industrial production in Canada between 1961 and 1985. Seemingly unrelated regression estimation multiple regression analysis shows that military production has a negative impact on total factor productivity for the four industries.

Despite initial concerns, Dana Corp. officials say now they believe newly issued shares will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange when the firm emerges from bankruptcy.
"While the listing of the stock of the new Dana on the NYSE is still not certain, we now have a better feel for the fact that it will be possible," spokesman Chuck Hartlage wrote in a statement.
He did not elaborate.
The bankrupt Toledo auto parts producer intends to issue 100 million new shares, most of which will be distributed to creditors for payment of company debt. About 1 million shares will be used to pay bonuses to union employees, with a like number given as bonuses to salaried employees.
Current stock will be become worthless when the new shares are issued. It is traded on a pink sheets over-the-counter and closed yesterday at 20 cents.
The new stock is expected to trade at about $22 each, the firm said.
Initially, company officials raised serious concerns about their ability to get shares listed on a major exchange like NYSE.
"It is unlikely that the new ... stock will qualify for listing at the time it is issued, and there can be no assurance that the ... stock will ever be listed on a national exchange," the company wrote in a bankruptcy court filing this summer.
In the absence such a listing, officials said they planned to "cooperate with any registered broker-dealer who may seek to initiate price quotations for the new ... stock on the over-the-counter bullet board."
The company didn't explain the reason for its reservations. Some experts suggested that executives feared that it wouldn't have the minimum number of shareholders to be listed on a big exchange because the stock generally was to be given to its creditors.
Creditors will begin voting on the company's plan of reorganization within days, and Judge Burton Lifland, of U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New York, will be asked to sign off Dec. 10. If he approves, the company plans to emerge from 19 months of Chapter 11 protection by Dec. 31.
The cash-strapped maker of axles and other vehicle parts filed for protection from creditors in March, 2006.

- - Thin Lab- Need some suggestions
Thin Lab- Need some suggestions Hey all! Like the title says, I have a 3 year old lab (almost 4) named Emmett. He is actually a mutt, but seems predominantly lab/golden mix. We are positive he is half lab because his momma was registered- don't really know what else is in there :lol: Anyways, he is SUPER skinny. He is UTD on deworming, shots, etc. He is very active and always acts like he is starving. He gets 4 cups of Purina One Large Breed Adult Formula (Chicken and Rice flavor) over day (recommended amount) split up into 2 cups in the AM and 2 cups in the PM. I know dogs are not supposed to be fat, but I worry about it and would feel a little better with a bit more cushion of fat on him. Right now, his ribs, spine and hips are easily felt. The vets said he is fine, not in danger of starving or anything but that they felt he would be fine if I wanted him to gain a few pounds just for my peace of my mind. He currently weighs about 61 pounds and I think he would look just perfect at about 71 or so. Everyone who sees him claims hes emaciated :oops: . The vets and vet students at my barn however tell me the same thing as his regular vet. They say people are just used to seeing overweight dogs, especially overweight labs. On this scale he is probably about a 2 ...http://www.sonomapets.com/wp-content...body-scale.jpg Any ideas on what I can do to help him gain a bit? Thanks for the help! |
Assuming you're not seeing loose stool, diarrhea, gas or any other signs of him not digesting/absorbing food properly, it's just a calories game. If you want him to gain weight you need to increase his calorie intake (either more cups of food, or a more calorie dense food like the grain free types) and/or decrease his activity level. The caveat is that some animals DO have naturally high metabolisms, and just like weight loss, gain isn't always as easy as it sounds. If he's a good eater as you say though, I don't really think you'll have too much trouble. Now, the vet part of me has to say, 10 lbs on a 61lb dog is a HUGE difference. That's like an extra 25lbs for a 150lb human. If the medical types who see him think he looks good, maybe scale that down a little to high-60's? You really don't want him carrying extra weight- labs and all large breed dogs are prone to arthritis as they age. Carrying extra weight around during their life makes it happen faster and worse, and crippling arthritis is a very, very common reason for euthanasia. So if you can prevent/delay it by keeping them lean throughout their life, you get more good quality time with your dog over his lifespan, as well as saving money on dog food. ETA: I have an 8 and a 9 year old GSD and still occasionally have people ask if they are puppies- I chalk it up to always having kept them lean and fit. They have more go and vigor than many younger fat dogs I see. And everyone thinks healthy lean dogs are too thin around here too. |
932 Attachment(s) Agree with the above poster. Go to TSC and try 4Health Grain Free food. Or Taste Of The Wild. Also grain free. More calorie dense food. We have Labs and feed the 4HealthGF. My dogs look great! Incorporate it slowly into his diet so you avoid digestive upset. And yes, 10 pounds may be too much. 5 Would probably be sufficient but only you will be able to know since you see him. It is healthier for anyone (animals included) to be a little lean as opposed to overweight. The 4Health will I'll not be much more expensive then Purina ONE. Posted via Mobile Device |
Great! Thanks sharpie! In the summer when it gets exceptionally hot he will usually gain 5 lbs or so and beef up a bit more simply because I dont take him to the barn with me due to the fact he doesnt know when to slow himself down so I always worry about heat stroke. Thanks for the advice about not gaining so much. My vet mentioned he would like to see him at 65 or 66 to see what it looked like, so I will shoot for that weight before I think about going any higher. I will look into some more grain free type foods. If I kept him on his current food, how much should I increase his current food amount? If he is getting 4 cups should I up it to 6 cups? |
3 Attachment(s) Here are some pics I just grabbed. He doesnt look TOO bad until you touch him. And then its just muscle and straight bone. I am used to my older (and therefore more chubbier, old age has really slown him down) german shepherd to compare too. He has a lot of cushion versus Emmett's none. Its hard to tell because of his longer hair, but his ribs are pretty visible. Attachment 293818 Attachment 293826 Attachment 293834 |
If you stick with your current food, I would increase it by 1/2 to 1 cup a day (that's a 12-25% increase) and reweigh him in two weeks. It can be very easy to overshoot, and just like with horses, slower is better than rushing it. |
932 Attachment(s) I would increase him to 5, maybe 6 Cups, 2-1/2-3am, 2-1/2-3pm, or 2am,1mid,2pm. However you can do it. once at an ideal weight, you could lower to Five to maintain. Depends on how he does. does he eat his Four cups? Or does he leave some. You can put out more food, just depends on if he's going to eat it. Posted via Mobile Device |
You could try adding 2 tblspoons of Purina meat to the bowls. Purina One is what I feed and both dogs are doing really well on it. However, I don't feed based on the label. I think I give the dobe mix 1/2 c more per feeding and the English cocker is 1/8c less per feeding. it's a slow process adjusting food to determine optimum weight. You have to give it a week or more to really tell. start by increasing 1/8 - 1/4 c per feeding. Also, your dog looks more flat coated retriever, which is completely differently boned than a solid lab. Flat coats are usually much smaller boned than labs and golden retrievers; they are more like setters to me. If you are judging it based on pictures of labs and goldens, your dog may look too thin to you. Also, your dog is young; he is probably going through his peak energy level right now. Compare the body type against a fit and trim English setter or a flat coated retriever. Go to akc.com for pics or visit national breed registries and look at show pics. Those dogs are usually in absolute condition and are good examples of appropriate weight. |
He eats all of his food CLAPorte! Sam- wow! I googled some images of irish setters, and was greeted with pics of dogs that look like his exact body type! He must definitely be mixed with irish setter. In fact, if this setter were black - it would almost look entirely like him! That makes me feel much better. I guess I was judging by lab when that is obviously not the type of body type he has. Thanks all. I will still increase his food a bit. Thank you all for the suggestions |

That's Dumb.Brian Barrett5/28/10 12:26pmFiled to: smartbooksSkylightLenovoCompaqFeatureLenovo skylighthp compaq airlife 100airlife 100QualcommsnapdragonFreescaleTabletsipadTop241EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink What if I told you there was an ultralight device that put all the functionality of a powerful tablet into the thinnest, lightest laptop you ever saw? It exists. It could be great. And it's dying before its time. In January, Lenovo unveiled that exact device to a warm—if not entirely convinced—reception. It was called Skylight, and it was going to be the torchbearer for a nascent mobile computing category called smartbooks. Wait, What's a Smartbook?Conventional adspeak is that a smartbook is any device that's part netbook, part smartphone. That's the problem with adspeak: it doesn't actually mean anything. A broader but perhaps more accurate definition seems to be: an ARM-based processor in anything other than a phone. Which means, hey, the iPad counts! Whenever Qualcomm or Freescale trumpets the bright future for smartbooks, they're leaning heavily on projections of consumer spending that includes tablets, including the iPad. Advertisement Advertisement That's fine! They made up the word; they can define it however they want. But for this discussion, let's focus on the smartbooks like Skylight: the ones that put the guts of a phone into the body of a netbook.Mobile devices that balance media, productivity, and portability in a way that nothing else does yet.That's a smartbook.What Was Promised Note that though Skylight got most of the initial press, there are actually two poster children for the smartbook movement. The Compaq AirLife 100 looked like the netbook Apple never designed—until we saw the full specs. While it's got Qualcomm's potent Snapdragon processor inside, the 16-bit resistive touch TFT display makes the AirLife pretty much DOA. No stress—it also doesn't have a US release date yet. So back to Skylight! Here's a quick rundown of the planned specs from CES: 10.1-inch screen, 1GHz Snapdragon processor, built-in Wi-Fi and 3G, 8GB internal memory/16GB USB memory stick/2GB online storage, 720p video playback, HDMI out. Weighs less than two pounds. It felt like you could play frisbee with it. Advertisement Sponsored Skylight wasn't perfect either, but it filled a niche. The physical keyboard alone gave it an immediate—and important—advantage over tablets. At the very least, AT&T's backing meant that it would have a fighting chance in the marketplace. And its scheduled April release would have limited the iPad's powerful head start.And then... nothing. April came and went. A Lenovo spokesperson quietly speculated that the device would be pushed back to July. And people began to forget all about smartbooks.Why the Delay?As a general rule, companies don't like pointing the finger at partner companies. Working relationships, and all. Lenovo, for example, has said only that they need "a little extra time" to get it right. Fortunately, ARM marketing VP Ian Drew, in an interview earlier this month with ZDNet UK, wasn't shy to point out that Adobe had dropped the ball by delaying Flash for mobile devices:"We thought [smartbooks] would be launched by now, but they're not," Drew told ZDNet UK... "I think one reason is to do with software maturity. We've seen things like Adobe slip - we'd originally scheduled for something like 2009."Considering ARM and Adobe signed their agreement way back in November of 2008, that wasn't an unreasonable assumption. Instead, Flash 10.1 won't be optimized for mobile devices in broad release until mid-June. It's not just Flash, of course. There's also the matter of ARM architecture not supporting x86-based operating systems and applications; smartbooks require a new Linux-based OS. For Skylight, that means a custom UI that takes a lot of time to build, test, and to get in the hands of developers. For the AirLife 100, that means slapping an unproven skin on top of Android and hoping for the best. Two rocky paths, each with pitfalls.Fortunately, there's a terrific solution out there—or at least, there will be. You remember Google's Chrome OS, don't you? Both ARM and x86 compatible, incredibly light, runs web apps exclusively. If it sounds perfect for smartbooks, that's because it is. Or will be, when it's released sometime later this year. Clock's TickingThen what's the big deal? Flash will be optimized for mobile in a month. Chrome OS will be here eventually. And Qualcomm was downright bullish when asked about the state of the smartbook this week: Advertisement Advertisement Qualcomm is striving to help our customers deliver the best possible experience on smartbooks, a new category of devices in which significant innovation is taking place in real-time. The category as a whole continues to gain momentum, with the launch of HP's Compaq Airlife 100 at Telefonica, Dell Streak's announcement yesterday, and many other devices in the pipeline. We continue to see strong momentum with Snapdragon (140+ devices in design, 20+ on the market) and the HP and new Dell devices are just the beginning.So everything's... great?For Qualcomm, sure: Snapdragon's showing up in lots of phones and tablet-type devices like Streak. But we've established that the Airlife 100 is no great shakes, and the majority of those 140+ devices in design (along with those on the market) are phones or tablets. Advertisement If we're looking for reasons why more manufacturers aren't (at least publicly) exploring their smartbook options, we needn't look much further than iPad. That's not because everything's always about Apple. It's because launching a new product category is both very difficult and very expensive, and Apple's already done most of that grunt work for ARM-based tablets. Consumers know tablets exist. They know how they work and what they can do. And any company that wants to lead on smartbooks is now going to have to fight on two fronts: against months of iPad indoctrination, and for smartbook awareness. It frankly might not be worth it. And the more time that passes, the less likely anyone is to take a smartbook risk.Why It MattersIt's not that smartbooks are the perfect device. They're not! They've got inherent strengths and weaknesses, just like tablets and netbooks and notebooks and any other consumer electronics product released in the last eighty years. But they're unique. They serve a purpose. And they're being phased out before they were ever in.Ultimately, this isn't just a smartbook lamentation. They'll be for sale at some point, in some incarnation, and if you look hard enough you'll be able to find them and buy them. Some will be good, some will be bad. Like anything else. Advertisement Advertisement What's vexing is that it's starting to look as if the broad consumer market will never really get a chance to decide for itself whether it wanted smartbooks. Third-party delays and a commanding tablet lead decided for them. The smartbook example tells we're at a point where the industry can only stand one revolutionary device at a time. And frankly, that feels more like a coup.Reply24 repliesLeave a reply

Literature: -Roderic O'Conor, Brian Lynch, ERA 1980, p.21 illustrated -Roderic O'Conor, Jonathan Bennington, 1992, Cat. No. 8, p.189, full page colour illustration (plate 3) -Roderic O'Conor: Vision and Expression, Dr. Roy Johnston, 1996, p.24, full page colour illustration, p.25 This painting of a country road in a rural setting leads the viewer into a bright and sunlit landscape in which there is no indication of either human or animal presence. O'Conor seldom included figures in his landscapes but in this work only the inclusion of the roadside buildings, and those breaking against the horizon line in the middle distance, indicate that we are approaching a rural hamlet or village. Although it has been exhibited on several occasions with the title ''Landscape with Road and Farm Buildings'' the composition and subject matter of this painting strongly suggest that it may be the work known as ''Chemin Mènant à Grez,'' (''Road leading to Grez'') which was catalogued as number 563 in the group of ten works which O'Conor showed at the 1890 Salon des Indépendants, in which he gave his address as Hotel Beausejour, Grez. Coincidentally, Vincent van Gogh, who had taken his own life in June of that year, was represented posthumously in the same exhibition also by ten works. Catalogues for the 1889 Paris Salon and the 1889 Indépendants exhibition, also list O'Conor's address as Hotel Laurent, Grez, confirming his residence in the community in the preceding year. The flat landscape depicted here is typical of the rural environment at Grez-sur-Loing, where there was an active colony of international artists in residence in the village. Many of them stayed in the well known and popular Hotel Chevillon, and others found accommodation in private homes. An important factor in Grez's popularity, particularly for non-French artists, was its proximity to Paris with a frequent train service which ran from the Gare de Lyon to the nearby village of Montigny, making day trips from Paris possible. Its rustic village charm and its location on the river Loing, close to the great forest of Fontainebleau, attracted numerous young visiting artists from America, Scandinavia, Italy, and England, and from as far afield as Japan. In Paris, O'Conor studied under the guidance of Carolus Duran, who had built a considerable reputation as a fashionable society portrait painter. He was also known to be a sympathetic teacher, capable of reaching out to his students and flexible in his instruction so that a broad range of individual needs were catered for and developed in his studio. Judging by the number of Duran's students who are known to have painted at Grez, particularly in the summer months, a special relationship had developed between his atelier and the quiet picturesque village which was less than 70 kilometres to the south of the city, on the fringes of the great forest of Fontainebleau. Grez was also well known to a number of other Irish émigré artists who had painted there, and prior to O'Conor's arrival it had been the choice of Frank O'Meara who had spent 13 years there before illness forced his return to Ireland in 1888. John Lavery had also painted at Grez, as had Katherine MacCausland. It was also in Grez that O'Conor developed a lifelong friendship with the American painter Francis (Frank) Chadwick, owner of the Pension Laurent where O'Conor preferred to stay. Chadwick, a talented painter, had also studied with Duran before O'Conor arrived in Paris, and he quickly became a great admirer and supporter of the Irish painter's work. This important early work shows Roderic O'Conor's awareness and appreciation of Impressionist techniques, which he introduced into his work after he had moved from Dublin to Paris in the autumn of 1886. That was the year of the eighth and last Impressionist group exhibition which had taken place in May, well before O'Conor's arrival. He is, however, likely to have seen numerous paintings in the impressionist style at the annual Salon des Indépendants exhibition held in September, and through visits to the competing galleries of Paul Durand-Ruel and Georges Petit, the leading Impressionist dealers in Paris. In this painting, with its closely related tonal changes, O'Conor has painted the landscape forms and the buildings with that sense of directness and spontaneity which reflected the plein-airism of Impressionist painters such as Monet, Pissaro, and Sisley, and which was to become a defining characteristic of O'Conor's developing painting style. There is little preliminary drawing in evidence and the paint has been applied directly to the canvas using a technique which effectively combines brush and palette knife in the building up of a painterly texture which is wholly appropriate to its subject. Paintings such as this, and O'Conor's earlier ''Groupe des peupliers, effet de soleil,'' 1886, (also known as ''Autumn Landscape'') identify him at this early stage in his career as one of the most advanced English speaking painters of his generation. 1.

text: What is PKD? Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a genetic disease (passed from an affected parent to their child) causing uncontrolled growth of cysts in the kidney eventually leading to kidney failure. It affects all racial and ethnic groups equally. There are two types of PKD: autosomal dominant (ADPKD) and autosomal recessive (ARPKD). ADPKD is the more common type and affects more than 600,000 Americans and 12.4 million people worldwide. ARPKD is a rare form of the disease that occurs in 1 in 20,000 children worldwide. A typical kidney is the size of a human fist and weighs about a third of a pound. PKD kidneys can be much larger, some growing as large as a football, and weighing up to 30 pounds each. The number of cysts can range from just a few to many. The size of the cysts can range from a pinhead to as large as a grapefruit. Although the primary sign of PKD is cysts in the kidneys, there are other symptoms that can occur in various areas of the body. What is PKD? PKD affects thousands in the United States and millions worldwide – and yet, many people have never heard of it. Learn basic facts about what PKD is, how it impacts people and how the PKD Foundation helps. The more people who know about PKD, the closer we can get to treatments and a cure. Together, we can raise awareness and fight PKD.

back slash question.
Hi, I'm trying to add (back slash) in front of any " mark.
I'm need to send a message which is
event f 1 0 524288 1 "Macintosh HD:loop.aif" 0 0 0
to external called Csound~. But when I send this message
to Csound~, "" didn't get transfered so I get an errors.
please look at attached file.
it works if I put in front of " then everything is fine
but I don't want(and I shouldn't for stand alone issue) do
it manually. So how could I add to " automatically?
thanks for reading the post

regexp and careful use of escaping. You're working with 'active'
characters ["], so it's going to look messy. You may also need to
compensate for max-syntax-related transformations after output too.
If you're constructing the initial message yourself, then sprintf should
work to combine the components and add the necessary syntax. You will
still need to keep in mind what happens to the message after it
re-enters the normal max syntax universe.
You cannot, generally. This goes for any other programming language
that requires you to escape quotes. There is no way to process a
message/string with an unescaped quote in it because, to the
language's parser (the thing that turns your code/path into something
that makes sense to the language), the quote is syntax. You need to
escape it to make it part of the message. In Max, quotes are used to
designate symbols (otherwise you'd have to escape every space in a
If you need to escape tons of messages like this to load into Max,
I'd suggest you do it in another program and then stick them into
Max. The other alternative is not putting in any quotes at all, and
then inserting them escaped later on by finding all of the bits with
non-numeric characters after "event f" and lumping them together.
This seems like a waste though — Ideally you want to have it done
upfront. Max is not properly equipped to deal with this.
Assuming you have a file full of lines that need quotes to be
escaped, you can do something like this in Io (www.iolanguage.com):
InputFile := File clone openForReading(
OutputFile := File clone openForUpdating(
while(line := InputFile readLine,
OutputFile write(line asMutable replaceSeq(""", "\""))
OutputFile write("n")
Other languages offer similar utility.

Thanks guys.
I'll try those methods.

Until then have a fabulous day,

Oh my, your studio is delightful - what eye candy. I can't imagine it being a mess for one minute!
Is Spanner allowed in? I'm afraid I've had to install a child's safety gate at my craft room doorway and Bertie, my shaggy chocolate cocker spaniel, lies pressed up against it looking like an advert for the RSPCA!
Heather x
Thank you my lovelies... order is prevailing at the moment, but i have a couple of big projects lined up so it certainly won't be long before chaos rules the roost once again... !
Heather! You tell Bertie he can come live with me and Spanner in my wee studio... Him and my wee man can sleep under my desk togehter... :)
Spanner is the most chilled out Cocker Spaniel I have ever known... he sleeps quietly under my desk all day every day and has done since the moment he arrived! He only wakes up to either go for a walk, a pee or when he's hungry... :)
Emma, x
I love your space! I didn't realize that you collect Kokeshi dolls as well... actually I think I have one that would be sister to the one third in from the left. She has a different kimono but the same exact details... lovely! I have a whole Pinterest board devoted to them. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteEmma, you've got a lovely workspace, and I really like the light there. Why would I be so surprised to see such a bright place in Edinburgh?
Like you, I do like to have a good idea about where to find my various artistic supplies and tools, and try to have some of them hidden/stored in plain sight. Others must be kept in various containers that I will always associate with those bits and pieces, like buttons, beads, old fabric remnants, knitting/crochet books, etc.
Only very rarely do I get puzzled about the whereabouts of something ... and then I just can't rest until I do find the buried treasure without a map.
Best wishes!

Blair R. Williams, 63, has always distrusted Wall Street, but now he's deeply cynical. "Do they deliberately lie? The average investor may never know," he says. "But there are lots of people trying to lead us down the garden path." Williams, who lives in a retirement community in Monroe, N.J., entrusted $70,000 to a UBS PaineWebber broker last year. After three months, only $20,000 remained. "He seemed to have a great ability to pick absolutely the wrong stock." A week after his broker bought Compaq Computer Corp. (CPQ ) at $45, the stock halved. Williams and his wife--who lost 15% of a $2 million nest egg in two years--now manage more of their own investments. "I'm much more distrustful of everything because of the markets, the dot-coms, and the Enrons," he says. "It was all fueled by greed."

Microsoft Taps Thompson to Run Zune
First, Microsoft's (MSFT) Zune digital music player gets a makeover. Now, it has a new leader.
Microsoft's Entertainment & Devices Div. President Robbie Bach sent an e-mail on Oct. 4 notifying staff that company veteran Rick Thompson will become Zune vice-president, responsible for overseeing the business operations of the Zune unit. Thompson will report to J Allard, the product design visionary who has held the position since Bryan Lee retired in April.
News of the appointment follows Microsoft's Oct. 2 launch of the second iteration of Zune (BusinessWeek.com, 10/3/07), introducing a new look and three new devices, as well as a revamped online store and improved software to connect to a PC.
From Mouse to Zune
Zune is a distant No. 2 to Apple's (AAPL) iPod among digital music players with hard drives. Both Thompson and Allard are sanguine about the product's prospects. Allard says that the 1.2 million devices Microsoft has shipped give the company a foundation for further growth. "It's not a business yet," Allard says. "We're anteing in. We've got a seat at the table." Microsoft Chairman William H. Gates III reiterated the company's commitment to building the Zune business at the launch of the new devices. It will be Thompson's job to make that happen. "Does this business need to be bigger? Sure," Thompson says. "We have to augment our capability from a business standpoint."
Thompson has built several businesses from the ground up at Microsoft. He joined the company in 1987 as a product manager on Microsoft's mouse business. Four years later, he was named general manager of Microsoft's hardware operations and became a vice-president in 1996. On his watch, the business grew from $30 million in annual sales to $600 million.
Allard and Thompson Reunited
Thompson first worked with Allard on the original Xbox business. Allard knocked on his door, pitching a game console business that Thompson had also been considering. Several of their early Xbox cohorts are already on the Zune team, making Thompson's new gig all the more appealing. "We're getting the gang back together," Allard says. And he believes that Zune is in much the same position as Xbox was in its early days—a largely dismissed laggard to industry leader, Sony's (SNE) PlayStation 2. Now, Xbox 360 leads Sony's PlayStation 3.
Thompson left Microsoft in 2000, for a stint at Internet startup Go2Net, where he was chief financial officer and vice-president of product development. When he returned to Microsoft in 2002, he led the division that oversaw development of the operating system software for Windows Media Center and the Tablet computers. And most recently, he worked in the company's online advertising unit.
The buttoned-down Thompson says he'll defer to Allard on product design and direction (BusinessWeek.com, 12/4/06) while he focuses on business strategy. "The vision and cool will continue to come from J," Thompson says. "No one would ever confuse me with being cool." But Thompson's track record suggests that his operational expertise is exactly what Zune needs right now.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Hillshire Brands Co. surged on Tuesday after a suitor stepped up its bid for the food company, while Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Inc. sank after the donut chain cut its earnings guidance.
Hillshire Brands US:HSH jumped 9.7% as potential buyers courted the food-maker. Pilgrim's Pride Corp. PPC, +0.72% said Tuesday it would boost its bid to $55 a share in cash, raising the stakes after Tyson Foods Inc. TSN, +0.39% offered $50 a share last week. Pilgrim's bid values the company at $7.7 billion, which is $1.3 billion more than its previous bid. Hillshire said it will hold talks with both bidders, but that it would not back away from its own plan to buy Pinnacle Foods Inc. PF, -0.21%
Applied Materials Inc. AMAT, +0.31% shares rose 4.2%. Analysts at Jefferies initiated the stock at a buy with a price target of $28.
Dollar General Corp. DG, +0.84% shares gained 3.9%. The discount retailer on Tuesday said its fiscal first-quarter profit rose to $222.4 million, or 72 cents a share, from $220.1 million, or 67 cents a share, a year earlier. On an adjusted basis, Dollar General would have earned 71 cents. Sales increased 6.8% to $4.52 billion.
Krispy Kreme Doughnuts US:KKD lowered its earnings guidance for the fiscal year when it reported results late Monday. The company said it now expects full-year earnings per share to be between 69 cents and 74 cents, below its March forecast of 73 cents to 79 cents. Severe weather in the Southeast led to a 1.5% decline in same-store sales for the quarter ending at the beginning of May, the firm said. Shares slumped 15%.
Wynn Resorts Ltd. WYNN, -0.36% shares dropped 4.3% on a slower rise in gambling revenue in Macau, according to Barron's.
Apparel-maker Quiksilver Inc. US:ZQK said late Monday that its second-quarter loss was wider than Wall Street had expected, sending shares plummeting 42%. The company reported an adjusted loss of 15 cents a share on revenue of $408.2 million. Analysts polled by FactSet had expected a loss of 2 cents a share on revenue of $448.6 million.
Tickers to Watch
AAPL: Shares of Apple Inc. AAPL, -0.20% rose 1.3% after analyst Michael Walkley at Canaccord Genuity raised the stock's target price to $710 from $660 on expectations of increased iOS product sales and potential for the company to grow its higher-margin businesses.
SPEX: Spherix Inc. SPEX, -3.46% shares rose 5.5% after the intellectual-property development company said it had completed a $20 million equity financing that involved selling 10 million shares of convertible preferred stock.

Raoul Wallenberg Congressional Gold Medal Designs Unveiled
May 09, 2013, 11:33 ET from United States Mint
WASHINGTON, May 9, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Treasury Secretary Jacob J. Lew today unveiled the designs of the Raoul Wallenberg Congressional Gold Medal during a ceremony held in the Department of the Treasury's historic Cash Room. King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden were present for the event, along with Congressman Gregory Meeks. The final medal, which was authorized by Public Law 112-148, will be presented in a future ceremony on Capitol Hill in recognition of Wallenberg's achievements and heroic actions during the Holocaust.
In his remarks, Secretary Lew said, "As many of you know, the Congressional Gold Medal is one of this nation's highest civilian awards, bestowed on individuals who have made a lasting impact on American history and culture. Only 31 foreign citizens have been recognized in this way. Of course, we all know the unique story of Raoul Wallenberg. His remarkable heroism, in risking his own life to rescue thousands of Hungarian Jews during the Holocaust, is the reason that we are here to celebrate his legacy and unveil the medal's design."
Raoul Wallenberg was born on August 4, 1912, in Sweden. After graduation from the University of Michigan, he returned to Sweden where he began a career as a businessman and later as a Swedish diplomat. While working at the Holland Bank, Wallenberg began to meet young Jews who had been forced to flee from Nazi persecution in Germany. Working with the War Refugee Board, Wallenberg helped save more than 100,000 Hungarian Jews during the Holocaust, many of whom later immigrated to the United States. Today, hundreds of thousands of American Jews can directly or indirectly attribute their own lives to Wallenberg's heroic actions. Indeed, many of the people Wallenberg saved have been influential citizens contributing to American institutions and culture. Wallenberg's ultimate fate remains a mystery. In 1981, President Ronald Reagan made him an honorary U.S. citizen, an honor that had only previously been extended to Winston Churchill.
The medal's obverse (heads side) will feature a close-up portrait of Wallenberg. Inscriptions on the obverse will be RAOUL WALLENBERG, ACT OF CONGRESS 2012, and HERO OF HEROES.
The medal's reverse (tails side) will depict Wallenberg's view as he extends a Schutz-pass and a background view of those he could not reach being boarded on a train bound for a concentration camp. Inscriptions on the medal's reverse will include HE LIVES ON FOREVER THROUGH THOSE HE SAVED around the upper border and ONE PERSON CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE beneath the Schutz-pass. Bronze reproductions of the medal, also authorized by Public Law 112-148, will be available for purchase from the United States Mint at a later date.
The Raoul Wallenberg Congressional Gold Medal obverse design is by United States Mint Sculptor-Engraver Don Everhart, and the reverse design is by United States Mint Sculptor-Engraver Phebe Hemphill. Both Sculptor-Engravers will execute the respective obverse and reverse designs.
The United States Mint was created by Congress in 1792 and became part of the Department of the Treasury in 1873. It is the Nation's sole manufacturer of legal tender coinage and is responsible for producing circulating coinage for the Nation to conduct its trade and commerce. The United States Mint also produces numismatic products, including proof, uncirculated and commemorative coins; Congressional Gold Medals; and silver and gold bullion coins. The United States Mint's numismatic programs are self-sustaining and operate at no cost to the taxpayer.

Efficient freight operations on display at UPS Worldport
After visiting the Ohio River Bridges project, I headed to UPS Worldport in Louisville, where I had a great conversation with Scott Davis, Chairman and CEO of UPS, and business leaders from around the region.
What they made clear to me is the scope of the challenge we're facing when it comes to transportation in America.
By 2050, we're going to have to haul an additional 14 billion tons of freight around this country. Needless to say, without new investment, supply chains will fall apart, hindering job growth and harming retailers, manufacturers, and the millions of American consumers who need their goods to be transported efficiently and affordably.
That's why we're working so hard to spread the message that investments in infrastructure are absolutely crucial to the health of our nation's economy.
After our roundtable discussion, I had a chance to tour the Worldport facility with Scott Davis. It's a great operation – processing an average of 1.6 million packages a day. In fact, I learned that the average package spends only 13 minutes inside the facility! We have one of the best freight systems in the world – but we need to continue investing to stay that way.
Check out some photos from my visit below, and stay tuned for more updates from the road.

Later that day, Barak ordered the evacuation of the settlers.
In Yedioth Ahronoth, an unequivocal headline informs us "Netanyahu and Barak determined to strike Iran in the fall."
On the verge of defeat, Barak told me that something like the Camp David/Taba deal was the only viable way to end the conflict.
In the fall of 2011, Barak told CNN's Fareed Zakaria about Tehran entering zone of immunity by summer of 2012.
Days later, Barak lost as big as he had won less than two years before.
But since the days of Deborah and of Barak, Tabor is generally supposed to have witnessed another scene.
And thou, companion and instrument of victory, Barak, arise!
I lapped,—an excellent test of pluck in the days of Gideon son of Barak;—and why?
He rose as he spoke, and Barak understood his smile and question, and waited.
There is a close parallel between the enterprise of Deborah and Barak and that which opens before the church of the present time.
lightning, the son of Abinoam (Judg. 4:6). At the summons of Deborah he made war against Jabin. She accompanied him into the battle, and gave the signal for the little army to make the attack; in which the host of Jabin was completely routed. The battle was fought (Judg. 4:16) in the plain of Jezreel (q.v.). This deliverance of Israel is commemorated in Judg. 5. Barak's faith is commended (Heb. 11:32). "The character of Barak, though pious, does not seem to have been heroic. Like Gideon, and in a sense Samson, he is an illustration of the words in Heb. 11:34, 'Out of weakness were made strong.'" (See DEBORAH.)

The so-called net neutrality fight has become a truly amusing spectacle. At its core, it's yet another skirmish in cable television's war to remain relevant to the American consumer.
First, the fun side of the dispute.
On more than one occasion, HBO's John Oliver has rightly goosed the Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler over the issue. Wheeler is a former lobbyist for the cable television industry, which some believe will benefit greatly if new rules are created that would allow Internet service providers to treat data differently.
Net Inequality?
The end of net neutrality will spawn the beginning of net inequality, naysayers like Oliver cry.
Wheeler was asked in a meeting whether he had seen Oliver's 13-minute net neutrality rant from June 1. In that segment, Oliver made the comparison of Wheeler to a dingo, which Oliver called "Australia's favorite baby-eating animal."
Wheeler last week in a meeting said he had seen Oliver's rant and that it showed a "high level of interest in the topic" of net neutrality. He also added that he "would like to state for the record" that he was not a dingo.
That a federal official was denying that he was a feral, free-ranging dog commonly found in Australia and made memorable in a Meryl Streep movie tickled Oliver to no end. "We never said you were a dingo," Oliver said on Sunday. "We said you were like a dingo. But now you're denying it so strenuously that I'm beginning to wonder if you are a dingo after all."
The Legal Fight
Oliver's initial rant and now his skirmish with Wheeler indeed have drawn the public's attention to a difficult-to-understand legal fight. The public has filed more than 120,000 comments on the issue of "Protecting and Promoting the Open Internet," a staggering number and almost ten times the next most-commented issue.
Many of the comments express outrage that the FCC would oversee a new era of tiered Internet service. Without net neutrality, consumers and businesses are fearful that the Internet would became a segregated landscape. Some content will be delivered at full speed while other websites will work more slowly because their owners didn't pay up for the bandwidth.
The net neutrality fight is a sticky legal problem and began months before Oliver began poking at Wheeler.
The End of Neutrality?
In January, a U.S. appeals court tossed out federal rules that required broadband providers to treat all Internet traffic the same. The Obama administration has long advocated net neutrality and, prior to the appellate court ruling, the FCC had rules in place since 2010 that required companies like Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ) and Comcast Corp. (CMCSA) to handle all similar content on their networks in an equal fashion, regardless of whether it was a video on a personal blog, on YouTube or on a government web site.
The FCC in April proposed new rules for Internet traffic, and the public and the industry has until September to comment. The new rules would allow broadband providers to charge companies like Netflix Inc. (NFLX) and Google Inc. (GOOG) a higher rate to deliver content via the speediest lanes.
The decision also could allow Internet service providers to consider new pricing arrangements. ISPs could charge companies who specialize in data-heavy content higher fees to deliver Internet traffic at faster speeds. The court's decision that struck down those rules raised the specter that websites starving for bandwidth, including the bandwidth-hungry Netflix, would have to pay extra to ensure the quality delivery of the product.
Consumers Lose
In other words, if the FCC's proposed rules remain in their current form, old media wins and new media loses – and consumers will be left with the bill. By 2015, the average cable bill will be $123 per month, up from $86 in 2011. In 2020, that sum should approach $200 a month for basic and premium channels. And consumers' wallets could be hit again if Netflix has to charge more to pay for bandwidth. That probably won't stop would-be cord cutters, though. (For related reading, see: Is Amazon Prime Still The Best Deal In Tech?)
Fighting To Stay Relevant
What hasn't really been commented on is that this fight is occurring against the long-term backdrop of a dying cable television industry. Young people will simply not pay through the nose for cable anymore. Many would drop the programming portion of their cable contracts entirely if not for the fact that it's usually bundled with internet service. Some users are even going fully mobile.
But what the cable industry doesn't realize is that it has already lost to the content providers. Comcast and Time Warner Cable Inc. (TWC) are waiting for regulators to sign off on their pending $45 billion all-stock merger, which will be a boon to shareholders. But combining the two largest cable operators can't hide the fact that the number of people watching cable is declining dramatically. (For related reading, see: This Company Is As Unavoidable As It Is Unloved.)
2013 was one of the worst years ever for the television industry, with audience ratings collapsing. Media stock analysts Craig Moffett and Michael Nathanson reported last year that "The pay-TV industry has reported its worst 12-month stretch ever." Five million consumers cut their broadband and cable subscriptions from the start of 2010 to the end of last year, and new customers are increasingly hard to come by.
As John Oliver said, the Internet is not broken, so why does the FCC want to fix it by endorsing new rules that would create a two –tiered system? This country needs the innovation of new media companies like Google and Netflix. It doesn't need the FCC and chairman Wheeler gaming the system for old media giants that would inhibit the growth of the potential Facebook Inc.'s (FB) of tomorrow. Internet start-ups struggle and may not be able to pay Comcast their new sets of tolls on the information superhighway.
The Bottom Line
Old media isn't going to die right away, but giving cable companies more control over how the American public uses the Internet is bad for business and bad public policy. I'm with Oliver. Long live net neutrality.

Richard Ashcroft
I listened to The Verve until they broke up and the next obvious thing to do was to listen to Ashcroft. Incidentally, I hated Alone With Everybody for a long time. Then one day I woke up and heard the genius in it.
2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22?
Lisa Loeb
It was Do You Sleep? and I saw her perform in on David Letterman.
3. What's your favorite lyric by 33?
Not sure. When I listen to them, it's mainly for the atmospheric quality. Besides, I think some of their lyrics are in Danish.
4. What is your favorite album by 49?
London Philharmonic Choir
I think the only album that I have of thier's is a version of Handel's Messiah.
5. How many albums by 13 do you own?
6. What is your favorite song by 50?
The Chieftains
Would have to be The Foggy Dew with Sinead O'Connor.
7. Is there a song by 39 that makes you sad?

How many have you committed? In this intriguing series HISTORY examines the impact of the seven deadly sins on mankind from before the dark ages through current times. We learn how the concept originated – as a way to keep a lustful fourth-century monk from sinning again – and how the sins were pared down from eight to the seven we recognise today: gluttony lust greed anger sloth envy and pride. For the Catholic faithful they became a guide on the path to heaven. To repeat offenders they promised damnation in Hell and very specific very gruesome punishments.

As a mother myself, I get especially excited by Mother's Day and, I must say, I have really been looking forward to what we have to share with you this week. Leading up to Father's Day last year, we had the pleasure of sharing four heartwarming Father's Day tributes from some members of the diabetes online community (DOC). Since we received such genuine responses from each of the four men we asked to be a part of that series, I thought it was only fitting that we ask some female members of the DOC to do something similar for Mother's Day.
Our first featured mother is Wendy Rose, mother of three and author of the Candy Hearts blog, who tweets under the @MrsCandyHearts handle. We knew Wendy was the perfect person to kick off this tribute series not only because she is a devoted mother of a child with type 1 diabetes, but also because she is a registered nurse and can help us celebrate National Nurses Week! Read along as she shares how her role as a mother and RN influence one another.
Q: As a mother and a registered nurse, how do you feel the two roles influence one another?
When I graduated from nursing school in 1995, I didn't think too much about the impact my career as a registered nurse would have on my mothering experience. I was in my early 20s at the time, and motherhood wasn't anywhere on my radar.
About eight years later, my husband and I learned that we were expecting our first baby. I immediately pulled out all my old nursing manuals to revisit the sections about pregnancy and childbirth. I felt as if I didn't know the first thing about what was happening! Even with a ton of reference books, the whole experience seemed like foreign territory.
And it was.
Breastfeeding. Diapering. Child proofing. Potty training. The first fever, throw-up, and earache … I flubbed my way through all of it. All the while, I still had my handy dandy school books, but they didn't help me much.
I spent a number of years working in specialty units, such as the emergency room, post-anesthesia care unit and labor & delivery. My career flourished, and with each new experience I found new confidence until my daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at an early age. Diabetes really threw me for a loop!
Nursing school did NOT prepare me for the experience of raising a child with diabetes. I couldn't believe how little I knew, and found myself spiraling into a pit of insecurity about my ability to manage her. For years, I hardly ever told people in the diabetes community that I was a RN, because I was afraid there was some sort of unwritten standard that I would fall short of. Fortunately, I discovered that wasn't the case at all.
One of the mind games I had to deal with was separating "real life practice" from "professional practice." For example, when administering insulin in the hospital setting, the policy requires two RNs to verify the order, confirm the dose in the syringe and make sure it is given to the correct patient. At first, the idea that I was going to give injections to my child without anyone looking over my shoulder felt outrageous! I second guessed every decision I made for a long time. Eventually I relaxed, especially after she began wearing her insulin pump. It acts as that "second set of eyes," I guess.
Today I work as an after-hours pediatric telephone triage nurse. I have friends, neighbors, casual acquaintances, and Facebook friends who come out of the woodwork with their questions, especially when their kids are sick. I can rattle off standard information from any protocol (Call your doctor), but when it's one of my kids who are sick – well, that's a different story. My brain becomes a mound of mush and my heart hurts until they feel better. I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to call a colleague and disguise myself as a random mom just so I can hear someone reassure me that I'm doing the right stuff.
Being a registered nurse has been a rewarding experience, but a definite test in critical thinking skills and endurance. Being a mother has been rewarding, but a definite test in patience and perspective. Together both roles continue to teach me the deeper meaning of loving unconditionally, caring indefinitely, and re-discovering strengths I thought had been lost forever.
What a moving response to a relatively simple question, right? I can especially relate to Wendy's statement about wanting reassurance from a friend when caring for your child. I think it's a mother's instinct to always want the absolute best when it comes to your kids. I think you'll see a similar message come through from the other mothers' responses we will be featuring this week. So be certain to check back!
All the best,
Laura K.

Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history and conduct a physical examination. Your doctor may also run tests to rule out other medical problems that may cause similar signs and symptoms, such as a pinched nerve.
To distinguish between primary and secondary Raynaud's, your doctor may perform an in-office test called nail fold capillaroscopy. During the test, the doctor examines your nail fold — the skin at the base of your fingernail — under a microscope. Tiny blood vessels (capillaries) near the nail fold that are enlarged or deformed may indicate an underlying disease. However, some secondary diseases can't be detected by this test.
If your doctor suspects that another condition, such as an autoimmune or connective tissue disease, underlies Raynaud's, he or she may order blood tests, such as:
There's no single blood test to diagnose Raynaud's. Your doctor may order other tests, such as those that rule out diseases of the arteries, to help pinpoint a disease or condition that may be associated with Raynaud's.
