Transcript of Interview: 5AA Breakfast Show with David Penberthy and Jane Reilly
16 July 2014
David Penberthy: But talking about the Adelaide Hills and roads, it has long been one of the worst bottlenecks in South Australia, driving Hills residents mad as they make their daily trip to and from the city, but as of November, work is going to begin, happily, on the new South East Freeway interchange at Bald Hills Road, and that will reduce the congestion in the fastly growing Mount Barker. Joining us now to discuss this project is the Federal Infrastructure Minister and local member for the Hills based seat of Mayo, Jamie Briggs. Good morning, Minister.
Jamie Briggs: Good morning, David.
David Penberthy: What kind of changes will the new interchange make for travel times?
Jamie Briggs: Well, they'll be very substantial, particularly with the growth in around Mount Barker, as you've talked about before. It will reduce the state government estimates on their traffic modelling by at least 10 minutes, and I think what you'll find is that will be more as time goes on and the eastern side of Mount Barker continues to develop. The new development plans that the state government released a few years ago now have a large amount of that development happening out towards Wistow, and so you'll see increased pressure not just on the Adelaide Road exit, but with the new on-ramp and off-ramp, you'll see, I think, that become quite busy very quickly, because there will be the demand.
Strathalbyn, as you know very well, David, is growing quite quickly as well, and people travelling from Strathalbyn to the city on a daily basis, many people do at the moment have to go through the middle of Mount Barker to get to the South Eastern Freeway. This will mean they'll be able to exit through Bald Hills Road instead, taking them out of Mount Barker. It'll be a huge benefit for not just the township of Mount Barker, but the broader Adelaide Hills.
David Penberthy: Yeah. Well, I mean, obviously you are a local boy up there, Jamie Briggs, and I go up there a lot because my sister lives in Strath. Now, the expectation is that the interchange is going to carry up to 8000 vehicles a day. With the kind of growth that you have described, do you think it's going to be enough long term to support the expansion of the Hills?
Jamie Briggs: Well, I think it'd certainly make a huge difference. At the moment, there are major risks with one interchange. If you have a major event around the Adelaide Road exit, the only exit to and from the city and to the east at the moment, you basically, in effect, shut down Mount Barker. Whereas this at least means that you'll have two exits, and particularly as that side of Mount Barker grows and parts of the Hills, we know, whether it's popular or not, people want to live in the Adelaide Hills. It's a beautiful place to live. Mount Barker's growing very fast because of that. Strathalbyn's growing very fast because of that. This is necessary infrastructure. It has been too long in the waiting, no doubt. This should have happened some time before. But to give Stephen Mulligan his credit, he has got on with it, and in the last few months I've got to praise him as much as I possibly can. He's absolutely put his nose to the grindstone with his team there in the State Department of Infrastructure and they've got these plans moving, which is fantastic.
Jane Reilly: Mr Briggs, will this offer a better, safer route for those in that part of the Adelaide Hills, and is there an issue currently with a lot of accidents happening in that area?
Jamie Briggs: Well, certainly what you're seeing is the Adelaide Road interchange, particularly as school times, with Cornerstone College just around the corner from it, there are substantial build ups each day. Littlehampton's grown quite quickly in the recent years, so has Nairne, and this will mean people's access to those two towns improves markedly. The other part of the project, which is a real bonus, is the Old Princes Highway-Bald Hills Road intersection, which is just near the Howard Winery there; you might know it is a terrible black spot. Under this project, the scope is now going to include a roundabout at that intersection and I think that just adds to the importance of this project. It will reduce the amount of accidents on that road or that intersection which have been numerous in the last few years. It's a real black spot. So this is a real win for the Adelaide Hills. It's a credit to Ann Ferguson, the mayor, who's fought for this for a long time, the state member Mark Goldsworthy, and we've committed to this in the last three federal elections, and it's great to be able to deliver it.
David Penberthy: Jamie Briggs, for the benefit of our city listeners, you just alluded to the fact that you seem to have a pretty good working relationship so far with the State Labor Transport Minister, Stephen Mulligan, has there been any progress on the South Road upgrade?
Jamie Briggs: There is some progress. A couple of weeks ago the state government released a draft plan for the Torrens project. It's now out for community consultation, and that's an important first step of what we described as the early works, if you like, getting the project ready for heavy
construction to begin. In the not too distant future there'll be expressions of interest for contractors to apply to look for the work, and we're heading in the right direction to get serious work going early next year on both projects, Darlington and the Torrens project.
Jane Reilly: Look, just on another topic, on Monday we learnt that local boot manufacturer, Rossi Boots, lost out on the contract, a $15 million contract to make 100,000 pairs of non-combat boots. Will you go in to bat for this South Australian company and see if you can get the way that these contracts are awarded changed so that they might be able to get back and make these boots for our defence force?
Jamie Briggs: Well, look, it's a good question, Jane. When I heard about it, I asked David Johnston, our Defence Minister, what had happened. What it turns out this is, it relates to the procurement guidelines that the Government follows that were put in place by the previous Government. This tender, in fact, was begun under the previous Government, and it is a process which is at arm's length from the political process, and for very good reason.
You've seen in New South Wales, David would remember in recent years, allegations of ministerial involvement and favouritism of different businesses. So what governments have done to prevent that, to prevent any suggestion that there is favouritism for certain businesses is to have an arm's length process, which we don't make the decisions on tenders, they're made on the basis of a set of guidelines which have been established. Companies apply to get the tender, an independent group of public servants make a decision based on the best value that they see against those guidelines.
Now, I understand in this circumstance people aren't very happy about the outcome and obviously we would prefer to see Australian…
Jane Reilly: But will you go to bat for them? Will you go in and put the…
Jamie Briggs: Well, I think the question people need to ask is do you want politicians making decisions on who gets access to government contracts?
David Penberthy: Well, I think most of our listeners would say yes to that, Jamie Briggs.
Jamie Briggs: Well, sure.
David Penberthy: I mean it's not that we're talking about a case where your brother-in-law is the managing director of Rossi Boots.
Jamie Briggs: But then you have that issue though David, that's the point.
David Penberthy: But you only do if that's the set of circumstances in that case. I mean value for money is part of the argument, but surely a commitment to the nation on the part of businesses. I mean, I thought it was a really compelling argument that the boss of Rossi Boots made when he says we are based here, we pay our taxes here, we contribute through state taxes like payroll, and we pay company tax at the federal level. If they're doing all of that why should they be muscled out on the basis of some illusory conflict of interest?
Jamie Briggs: Well, I think in this circumstance, and I'm not the expert on this, it wasn't obviously in my department—it wasn't a contract that Rossi had; it was a contract that they put a bid in for that was with another supplier. In fact that supplier, as I understand, wasn't successful either, it was another supplier that was successful. But again, I think the reality is you need a process which is independent of the political process making these decisions. Now, you can have a discussion about whether you want different procurement guidelines for sure, but I think at the end of the day, decisions being made on the use of taxpayers' money need to be made on the basis of the best value. There are a range of factors, I absolutely accept that and in the circumstances, if you can improve the procurement guidelines to ensure that we're getting the best value and that Australian companies have got a fair crack at the work then that's what you want to see. But you don't want to see a circumstance where you have accusations that favours are being done by politicians for friends and I think that, as you've seen in New South Wales in recent years, that is a terrible outcome and it breeds, in effect, corruption and that's not what we want. We want a set of procurement guidelines which gives your listeners faith that the decisions with their money are being made in the best interests of all taxpayers and not a favoured few.
David Penberthy: We're going to have to leave it there. Infrastructure Minister and member for Mayo, Jamie Briggs, thank you for talking to us.
Jamie Briggs: Good on you guys. Thanks so much.

He Had A Facial Deformity And Defied All Odds. Just Wait Until You See Him Give Kisses!Ashley Maisano
This Pit Bull, named Clark Kent, was surrendered by his family to the Manhattan Animal Care Center. He had facial bone masses and was suffering from kennel cough, but was still as happy as can be. He was put on the euthanasia list but Kylie Edmond, co-founder of Rock & Rawhide, a non-profit that delivers toys and other goods to shelter animals in need, saved his life.
She brought him to the Animal Medical Center of NYC where she learned that he also had double pneumonia. He was in critical condition but recovered well. Despite all of his hardships, Clark Kent never stopped wagging his tail. He was so loving and friendly to everyone he met. He is in a foster home now but is looking for a new one, or a furever home, since this one is too far from his vet in NYC. He goes to the vet often where he'll be neutered and his bone masses will be diagnosed and treated.
While in his current foster home, he enjoys the company of his three-year-old human foster sister. Edmond sees Clark Kent being a therapy dog one day for children with abnormal features. Despite his unusual looks, he is sweet as pie! He's great with kids and gets along well with other dogs. If you would like to foster him or give him a furever home, contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

The default value of print-mpair-curly-braces is #t. For scheme and scheme/base this is the right default, I think. For #!r6rs, however, I would welcome the default to be #f. What are your opinions about this? Of course I can set print-mpair-curly-braces to #f myself, but this means that I have to import a non standard procedure or module. For me the main reason of using #!r6rs is to produce code that runs an every R6RS conformant compiler/interpreter. When this conformance is not required I prefer to use the more comprehensive #lang scheme. Jos -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Southern League Division One Central: Barton Rovers 0 Egham Town 1
Barton Rovers slipped to their second Southern League Division One Central defeat of the season as they were beaten at home by Egham Town on Saturday,
Lee Bearman's side went into the game missing eight regular first team players through injury, suspension or unavailability and the 16 named on the team sheet was the remainder of the squad.
Barton never came out of the blocks from the first whistle and were still half asleep when the visitors scored on nine minutes.
The hosts didn't pick up their runners from a corner as an unmarked Brendan Mathew headed home at the back post.
Rovers did lift their tempo slightly afterwards, but never looked like scoring in the first period, although neither did Egham who were content to protect their slender lead.
After the break, Rovers awoke from their slumber as Mahmut Caglar and Jordan Davis both saw shots fly wide of the target.
At the other end, home shot stopper Kyle Forster was forced to make saves from Ollie Jones and Luke Neville to keep the score at 1-0.
Late on, Rovers had an excellent chance to equalise, but Elliot Bailey's side foot effort was straight at keeper Jamie Norris who clung on.
Barton's trip to Hanwell this weekend has been postponed due to the hosts' involvement in the FA Cup.
Rovers are next in action on Tuesday as they entertain Aylesbury United at Sharpenhoe Road.
Meanwhile, Barton's youngsters are in action this week as they visit Eynesbury Rovers in the FA Youth Cup.

Whether it's on TV, in the paper, or chatting with friends at a barbecue, conversations about young people drinking alcohol often focus on how risky it is, and the unfortunate outcomes that so often come to pass. And this is for good reason – a lot of the time, young people who have been drinking make decisions that they regret and find themselves in dangerous situations that they wouldn't be in if they were sober.
Lead by example
The behaviour of parents will inevitably influence the drinking habits of their children. The National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) recommend that adults drink no more than two drinks per day, and no more than four drinks at a time. If your child sees you drinking responsibly – and not just drinking to get drunk – they will be more likely to adopt similar habits in their own lives.
Talk openly
It's important that your child feels like they can talk to you about these things. If you keep channels of communication open they will be more likely to approach you for advice, and you'll be more aware of what they're getting up to when they head out. Try to initiate honest and open conversations with them, and ask them about their views on alcohol and other drugs to gauge what they think is appropriate behaviour.
Give them the facts
When you're talking to your child about alcohol, make sure you've got the facts on standby. You can print out information from a website that you like that offers facts on alcohol - the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare has reliable information you can use. Be very clear with your child about what the risks are, and how they can reduce the negative risks of drinking alcohol from a purely physical stand point. Use this as an introduction to how you feel about alcohol and your child drinking based on that. Saying, 'you can't drink' without giving them the facts is not giving them the opportunity to make an informed choice.
Establish a drinks limit
When your child turns 18 and can drink legally, it can be tempting for them to go out and drink to excess. Have a chat with your child about establishing a drinks limit based on this information. Research from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare has shown that the average age at which young Australians have their first full serve of alcohol is 15.7. This means that these conversations should be happening before they reach the legal drinking age and you will need to keep talking about it through the teenage years as your child becomes more social.
Understanding peer pressure
The friends that they hang out with can often influence the behaviour of young people. This can lead to them trying to keep up with their mates, and drinking more than their body can handle. Have a chat to your child and help them come up with strategies to deal with drinking peer pressure. Suggestions include:
- 'I've got to study tomorrow'
- 'I've got training this week'
- 'I'm working tomorrow'
- 'I'm finding it hard to study with a hangover'
- 'I don't need it to have a good time'
- 'If I want to go to Schoolies I can't blow it with my folks now'
Here are a few more creative ways your teenager can say no to peer pressure.

Ford "Baja" Style
Unquestionably built "Ford Tough," the Ford F-150 Raptor SVT earned its honors in the desert infernos of the Baja peninsula with the Raptor R. The first test for the Raptor R off-road truck was the long distance endurance event at the 2008 Baja 1000 race, where it finished 3rd in the Class 8 section. The Raptor R retains the stock parts of the factory Ford Raptor which includes the axles, transmission, brakes and 2009, fully boxed, F-150 frame.
Made to race off-road this super 4×4 was specially fitted with a 6.2 liter V-8 engine that powers 500 horse power. The Ford Race Team knew that the Baja 1000 was the perfect place to test the durability and performance of the production line Raptor SVT. The Raptor R truly tested and developed a line of proven off-road performance parts that will be available from the Ford Racing Team.

A big heartfelt thank you goes out to all of the TEA showcase artists who performed at this years TEA Summer Showcase 2009. Katelyn Dawn, Matthew de Zoete, Power Boxx, The Weak Need, Outspoken, Johnny Shoes and Tribe 11. We had a very good turnout and everyone in attendance thoroughly enjoyed the incredible artists that performed at this years showcase. We could not have organized this years event without our sponsors SRN Mediaworks and all of the TEA South staff who worked very hard to run and organize the showcase. We will be posting pictures of the showcase performers in the coming weeks at the SRN Mediaworks dedicated TEA Showcase website portal 148.ca. Some showcase pictures have already been posted at the TEA gallery. More information will be forthcoming in regards to the TEA Showcase radio show and syndication through SRN Mediaworks. Congratulations to Power Boxx who won the Digital Downloads promotion package for the top ticket sales. Thank you to everyone for a magnificent show. See you next year!
TEA Volume 10 compilation artists Outspoken are a pop-punk band with a twist of alternative indie-rock. They are one of those independent bands that help fans fall back in love with music. They have been featured in many international and domestic magazines and have graced many stages with their heroes and icons.
TEA Volume 13 compilation artist Johnny Shoes has had 6 short years in the music business with the main goal of being the best he can possibly be at his craft. "I can't get enough of it, and not just playing either, the learning aspect too. It's why I wake up in the morning and what I plan to do for the rest of my life…no not make it big and famous."
Power Boxx deliver a powerful hard rock sound and inspiring live show. Lead singer Phil Naro is well known for his writing and recording with Peter Criss of Kiss and performing as lead singer for Coney Hatch in the 1980's. The chemistry in Power Boxx is what glues this band together. Don't miss their powerful live performance at the TEA Summer Showcase.
This eclectic group of guys who's style and influence range from jazz to 80's electronic, to power punk have found one vision, one dream, one band that they all believe in. They are: The Weak Need A high energy pop act being compared to such bands as Coldplay, Muse, Pilot Speed and U2. Their emotive delivery at their live shows has their fans saying that they were "blown away".
TEA Volume 10 artist Katelyn Dawn makes the top 16 on Canadian Idol. What has Katelyn been doing since Canadian Idol? – Katelyn recently released her 2nd album, 'The Window'. The new album, produced by Chris Burke-Gaffney (Chantal Kreviazuk) & Dale Penner (Nickelback) combines an organic sunny roots-pop sound, with hummable melodies and jangly hooks.
Fusing aspects of alternative, classic rock, prog rock, folk, and blues, there is a constant tension in Tribe 11's music that pushes and pulls between a bubbling simmer and an explosive boiling over. Tribe 11 fans compare the bands music to classic acts like Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd mixed with later influences like Jane's Addiction, the Smashing Pumpkins, and Radiohead.
A singularly talented and all-around stand-up guy, Matthew de Zoete is helping pop-rock recover its lost sense of dignity and self-worth. The 27-year-old from Hamilton, Ontario, approaches his craft much like an Old World artisan, applying a loving hand to songs who's melodic invention and attention to detail consistently catch the listener off guard.

Hey yall! Sorry it's been so long since I've posted, but I was not feeling that great earlier this week. When you can't swallow without being in pain, it's best to not run. Granted that's not what I wanted to do, but I thought I shouldn't push it (plus my fiance wouldn't let me). However, today I finally got a chance to run. My throat was still kind of sore but it wasn't terrible. I was dying to run. It's such a stress reliever it is not even funny.
My run went extremely well today. I ran extremely well all things considered. I managed to drag my butt out of bed and get up this morning to run. Proud of myself for that. My issue is just getting out of bed, once I get up I am ready to tackle the day. I ended up going 8 miles in roughly 73 minutes. However, I wanted to go 2 hours, but figured since I hadn't run for a week it would end bad. Towards the end I could feel my hip (jacked it up on my last run). It hasn't really hurt me, except when I run. After, it was kind of stiff and hurts once in awhile. I'm not sure what's going on with it. The downside of my hip being an issue is because I broke them about 8 years ago, so it's hard saying what's up with it. I'm hoping to get new running shoes soon. Not that it will be the ultimate thing to fix my hip, but I'm hoping it will help a little.
Getting to the point of my title is because my fiance said something to me awhile ago that has stuck with me. He told me that my legs were ready for a half marathon, but mentally I was not ready. He got me really thinking about my mental state for this half marathon. In a sense I know he's right, but the main time I quit thinking I'm ready for it is if I can't run consistently. But then again, when I start running after a while I sart to think not so helpful thoughts. They'll be along the lines of "why do I do this to myself," "what's the point, " etc. So now I realize that I have to work on my mental state a great deal of I'm going to succeed as well as I want to. Generally, I don't have negative thoughts but when it comes to running I apparently have quite a few. I now know what I need to work, which I realize I'll always have.

Weekend Real Estate Stalking
If you follow me on social media you already know that I had three missed close encounters with Leonardo Di Caprio. Once at the restaurant The Lion in NYC. I got there just as he left, the paparazzi were still lingering outside, next, this summer at the Beyonce concert, I missed him by ONE night...same section and all and finally a few weekends ago in East Hampton. I think the universe is telling me that we are destined to meet. Leo, until we "meet" again, I will just have to dream about purchasing your fabulous home that just went on the market in Malibu!!!!!

At Ecole Ferrandi, we had debriefings after absolutely everything we did....so here's my de-briefing for pumpkin pie (that sounds better than post-mortem, doesn't it?). Or, we could consider it as pre-planning for Thanksgiving 2009, depending on how you want to look at it!
Can you believe that I had never made a pumpkin pie before in my life? Never! Am I American or not?!! Kidding. It's just that Mom was the one who always baked the best pumpkin & pecan pies ever. I always simply enjoyed them, along with the rest of my family. But this year I was on the line for making three of them. And 2 pecan pies (I never made those before, either.)
In order to make a pumpkin pie, you obviously need the key ingredient: pumpkin. Everyone always uses the canned stuff....Libby's 100% pure, right? Right. Normally.
But what do you do when you need to make 3 pumpkin pies, and have only enough cans of Libby to make 1? And you live in Paris, which means you can't just jump in your car & run over to the nearest Jewel food store to buy the other two cans. Your choices here are: (1) take a metro (subway) to The Thanksgiving Store in the Marais district (I kid you not, this is the real name of the store), and pay a fortune for the stuff, or (2) go to the outdoor market just steps from your apt & buy a fresh pumpkin & make it yourself.
I guess by the way I worded those two options, and the photos, it's pretty obvious which path I took (#2). Plus, if I can avoid the perpetually jam-packed metro line #1, I will. In a heart beat. And, wouldn't it be interesting to see what would happen to go grass roots on making a pumpkin pie? Here it is.
Make Pumpkin Purée as a replacement for Libby's - As easy as 1-2-3
1. Scrape seeds & strings from pumpkin & bake uncovered at 180°C until done, ~ 1 hour- 1.5 hours. Add a little water to bottom of pan, if you like, to prevent burning.
2. Scrape off the cooked pumpkin pulp from the rind & put pulp into food processor. Pulse until fine.
3. Drain overnight in refrigerator. I used a fine meshed chinois (strainer). If your strainer is not fine mesh, then I'd line it with a cheese cloth before adding the pumpkin. It is not necessary to actually pass the pulp through the strainer (passer au chinois in french) if the pumpkin texture is nice & smooth. I didn't do it, I'm glad to say!
Comparison: fresh pumpkin purée vs canned Libbys
Taste: the canned tasted like tin....there was no pumpkin taste. The fresh tasted like, well, pumpkin!
Texture: both were smooth; free of "strings"; no difference.
Color: the canned one was dull brown-ish; the fresh one was vibrant orange.
Substitution: a 1:1 (by weight) works well.
Mom's Pumpkin Pie Recipe - with fresh pumpkin
Pie dough for 1 pie
2 large eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp cloves
1/4 tsp mace (optional)
15 oz. pumpkin purée
12 oz evaporated milk or ~8 oz crème épaisse (thick cream, as a substitute for 12 oz evaporated milk, another ingredient not readily available here).
1) Wisk eggs. Blanchir les oeufs ==> add sugar & wisk till it lightens in color slightly. Add all spices. Add pumpkin & mix. Add half the cream & continue adding more until it's a good consistency & not too heavy on the cream. Add more spices at the end if you need it. I found that I needed to add more because the taste of pumpkin was too prominant; I kept adding a 1/4 tsp here & 1/4 tsp there until it tasted good to me. In the end, I practically doubled the amount of spice.
2) Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 10 minutes & then reduce temperature to 350°F (175°C) & continue baking 40-50 minutes or until "clean knife test" says it's done. Be careful to watch your crust to assure it doesn't get too dark. If it does, cover with tin foil & it should be fine.
My Conclusions:
- There is no comparison between fresh pumpkin purée and canned 100% pure pumpkin. The fresh pumpkin just naturally tastes better.
- However, when it's baked in the pie, the difference between fresh pumpkin & canned pumpkin becomes less obvious, because of the spices, eggs, & cream.
- Therefore, I would use canned pumpkin if it were conveniently and cheaply available. Since that's not the case in Paris, I will use fresh pumpkin without hesitation & without fear that it'll turn out a strange pumpkin pie (these were my worries, oddly enough!!).
- When using fresh pumpkin, I'll always drain it overnight to remove the excess water because otherwise, it might affect the texture of the pie. AND, I'll add more spices (up to two times the quantity) to get the right balance between pumpkin & pumpkin pie spice.
- Substituting crème épaisse (ie, a thick cream, almost like a sour cream in consistency) for evaporated milk works perfectly fine but it's not a 1:1 substitution. My cream was extremely fresh and thick, so I stopped adding cream at about 1 cup (225g), or before it started to become too creamy-tasting.
- Making pumpkin pies in France does not have to be intimidating, even if it's for 25 people where the (self-imposed) stakes are high to make a perfect American pie! This recipe, with the substitutions, can be trusted and therefore, next time....no worries! You can even make the batter days in advance & then pour it into the prepared pie dough & bake it off the day before - this will make the holiday planning just a little easier, I think.
- American style pumpkin pie (meaning nice & thick) is still one of my favorites....and having a left-over piece of pie the next morning for breakfast with a nice cappuccino is very....yummmm!

What is the impact of genetic transformation on wheat allergenicity?
© Lupi et al; licensee BioMed Central Ltd. 2015
- Published: 30 March 2015
- Celiac Disease
- Food Allergy
- Wheat Cultivar
- Bread Wheat
- Genetic Transformation
Wheat allergy occurs by inhalation (baker's asthma) and ingestion (food allergy), but may also develop by contact in some cases. The responsible allergens of wheat are proteins accounting for about 10-15% of the grain dry weight. Wheat proteins are divided into two groups: the salt soluble fraction (albumins/globulins) and the gluten proteins (gliadins and glutenins). This latter group is responsible for celiac disease and also for food allergy, whereas the albumins/globulins are involved in baker's asthma and in some food allergy. Genetic modification (GM) technology for crop improvement has recently emerged and its impact on allergenicity must be evaluated, as recommended by the Codex Alimentarius.
Following this recommendation, we first compared two GM lines with their parents using an allergenomic approach then in a second step we aimed at comparing the amount of allergenic polypeptides in these GM wheats, their untransformed genotypes and those measured among twenty commercial cultivars, either durum or bread wheats.
In order to characterize the accumulation of allergenic proteins in wheats, sera from children and adults with clinically documented wheat allergy were used. The investigation is focused mainly on the soluble protein fraction of wheat.
For the comparison of GM lines with their natural counterparts, 2D immunoblot followed by mass spectrometry analysis and protein identification was set up. ELISA tests were performed on the whole set of genotypes.
Few differences at molecular and quantitative levels were revealed between the GM lines and their counterparts. Two new IgE-binding proteins were detected for one GM line.[1] We also observed that the genetic transformation may impact IgE reactivity, either in a positive or in a negative way.[2]
This study leads us to conclude that a wide variation exists in the amount of allergenic polypeptides among durum and bread wheat cultivars, and that the differences observed between GM wheats and their parents are within the range of these 20 cultivated wheats.

This is a typical scene at the beach just after the sun sets. People will leave and funnel back over the dunes through these rustic walkways. Sometimes I'll position myself so that I can capture them walking to and from the beach in this manner. It's a shame that people leave the beach so soon after the sun disappears, it's when the best colors appear in the sky.
I took this image three years ago and just rediscovered it and processed it this week. That inspired me to go back there last night and shoot similar scenes. Of course, they came out different, but the main thing is that I went out, that can be half the battle sometimes.
It was nice to get out and Spring is a good time of year in Florida. It's before the humidity sets in and it's when we get some of the best sunsets. The days are getting longer and if you just linger a little after the crowds leave, you experience some of the best magic that others miss.

Just a quick post for me today….sooooo much left to do before Christmas!! This week at TOFF our challenge is Christmas (naturally). I have created *gasp* not one but two cards…oh my gosh she made a card!! I had a great helper for the second card Here is the Octopode Factory Christmas card I created with my FAVORITE Rudolph and Clarabelle images from Lily's Etsy shop.
The images were colored with Copic Markers and mounted on Grunge paper with Mod Podge. The card base is Core'dinations Color Core card stock from the Tim Holtz/Ranger Distress Collection. The glitter card stock is also from Core'dinations Core Couture Glitter collection.
My 6-year-old son was the mastermind behind the second card. He wanted to make a card for his Kindergarten teacher and since he loves the Octopode Factory images "Mommy is ALWAYS coloring" I decided to let him choose some of his own to color.
He chose the Gingerbread house and Baby Rudy and a few of my pre-colored images from the Octopode Factory Snowglobe I made last week. The images were layered on Coredinations Kraft Core Cardstock….after I gave him a long overdue lesson in stamping and embossing.
I was very impressed with his penmanship and especially the Christmas pattern he used for his lettering! It looks like the apple doesn't fall far from the tree after all!
I hope you will join in all the Christmas Cheer at TOFF!! Why not bring the kids into the mix? Octopode Factory images are sure to be a hit with kids of all ages Lily has a Christmas gift for you all on her blog…a lovely freebie digi so be sure to stop by! I'll be back in a bit to show you what I've made with the new digi….till next time!!
Have a Happy Happy Holiday!!

Accompanied my apprehensive husband David this morning to have laser treatment to repair a torn retina. Moorfields Eye clinic was busy but efficient. David was duly called into the laser room and towards the end of the10 minute procedure, he passed out. With in seconds emergency help arrived, nurses, doctors, oxygen, porters, paramedics with stretcher. A routine session became a scene out of casualty as they brought him round from fainting. With all of this came a real sense of concern, efficiency, reassurance and true care. Bless all of you and thank you.
I have been under Moorfields eye departments at Croydon for a number of years and cannot speak highly enough of their level of care and professionalism. Moorfields took over the eye division at CUH quite a while back and the improvements they have achieved are very impressive. I am therefore loathe to post my feedback from last Thursday but do this in the hope that remedial action can be taken. I attended the eye clinic for a post operation review and waited nearly three and a half hours to be seen by a consultant. He and his support staff were clearly embarrassed by the poor scheduling of the mornings appointments which resulted in horrendous log jams and was plainly due to poor resource planning failure by admin staff. The staff and consultants were , as usual, absolutely excellent .However, I really hope we are not returning to the bad old days of thoughtless appointment booking and appropriate staffing decisions!

Fantastic place, great service from people working here. Ladies at the reception are just brilliant, friendly and very helpful, and so is my physiotherapist Nicholas. Very professional, with great attitude towards work and patients, fantastic skills and knowledge. A specialist with the vocation. With his support I got from crutches to skipping rope within few months only and this is post major operation on my lower part of leg (as the consequence of an accident that put me in the wheelchair for several months some years ago). Hospital offers many different services - I only used physio. It is very clean and tidy and quite. Maybe too quiet. I walked past this place many times and would never have guessed there is a hospital in this building until I was referred here and got an address on invitation letter.
Great hospital :)

Barely 36 hours after one of the most notorious fistfights in New Orleans history, the Al Copeland-Robert Guidry brawl inside Morton's steakhouse, someone sounding an awful lot like Copeland's consigliere was on the phone to the U.S. attorney's office. Bryan White rang up the feds on the morning of Dec. 17, 2001, to state his boss' case and to seek revenge against Guidry, who had pleaded guilty the previous year to bribing Gov. Edwin Edwards and others with $1.4 million to get a casino license.
At least, that's what one might assume from a memo that a prosecutor sent to the FBI, a heavily edited copy of said memo having come into The Times-Picayune's hands. While the quoted words below are straight from the document itself, White's name and the other parentheticals are an educated guess, based on the circumstances of the fight and the memo.
"He called to ask what he could do to have (Guidry's) probation revoked or other action taken against him," the memo says. "He stated that (Guidry) threw the first punch during the scuffle ... had even struck (Copeland's wife. White) stated that (Copeland) was afraid of (Guidry).
"I told (White) that I'm sure (Guidry) would have a different account but that I had no idea what really happened. We discussed my role ... and that I perhaps was not the best one to advise him on what to do." (Read the memo.)
The memo, which The Times-Picayune obtained in response to a Freedom of Information Act request, illustrates how the FBI can be both maddeningly broad yet shallow in its release of public records.
The bureau has sent us 1,288 pages from its files on the Operation Wrinkled Robe investigation of Jefferson Parish Courthouse corruption. And it's nowhere near finished processing our request. Among the papers released so far are what appear to be written plans for covert surveillance operations in Biloxi, Miss., accounts of a cooperating witness who wore a concealed recording device while talking to subjects of the investigation, requests for background checks and telephone records, concerns that the covert inquiry had been leaked and alerts from New Orleans-based FBI agents to their colleagues in Fort Worth, Texas, and Memphis, Tenn. (See interactive timeline of Operation Wrinkled Robe.)
The amount of paperwork is astounding, the result of Justice Department rules on how criminal investigations may proceed and how seemingly every breath taken by the agents must be documented. Case in point: In a Jan. 3, 2002, memo, a Baltimore-based FBI agent recounted how, while on loan to help New Orleans with Wrinkled Robe, he received a parking ticket here and had to pay the fine.
Yet as voluminous as the records are, they are equally opaque. That's the because the FBI, when it releases public records, also makes liberal use of its redacting authority. It can cite no fewer than 23 different sections of the United States Code for masking names, facts, places, even entire pages.
As for the 2001 memo to the FBI, White's attorney, Len Brignac, has looked at it and discussed it with White in response to inquiries by The Times-Picayune. "No one has any recollection of what's reflected in the document," he said. U.S. Attorney Jim Letten wouldn't comment on the Wrinkled Robe records.
Still, there is ample evidence to support the notion that it was White who placed the call. He was corporate attorney for Copeland, one of the more ostentatious businessmen around town. He had previously worked at Galloway, Johnson, Tompkins, Burr & Smith law firm, which also had employed Assistant U.S. Attorney Mike Magner, on whose letterhead the memo was faxed to the FBI.
On Saturday night, Dec. 15, 2001, Copeland and was dining at Morton's with his fourth wife, Jennifer, who was pregnant. At another table was Guidry with his two sons and their wives. There had been bad blood ever since Guidry bested Copeland in 1993 to win the state license to operate a floating casino in Kenner.
The fight ended with the Copelands in the hospital and the Guidry men in jail.
The call to the U.S. attorney's office came Monday morning. The memo writer, presumably Magner, wrote that he and the caller also exchanged small talk and discussed "our prior" something or other and "the death of senior partner Mike Johnson," the Galloway, Johnson figure who had passed away eight months earlier.
The FBI records
- Part 1
- Part 2
- Part 3
- Part 4
- Part 5
What White didn't know at the time was that the FBI, while caring little about the Guidry fistfight, was secretly investigating Copeland as part of Operation Wrinkled Robe. Indeed, Magner would go on to prosecute and win convictions of the 14 defendants in the case, although Copeland was never charged with a crime.
One of the defendants who pleaded guilty was, ironically, White himself. He served a year-and-a-day sentence then went back to work for Copeland, although not as a lawyer. The Louisiana Supreme Court had disbarred him.
He's now trying to regain his license.

Little Known Beer Rules You Must Know
Mayor Bloomberg likes his beer cold -- really cold. Standing inside the just-expanded Brooklyn Brewery Monday, the mayor revealed that his unorthodox approach to drinking beer requires ice. As in, ice dropped into his beer.( I had to google it -- Bloomberg is the Mayor of New York, City)-- more after the jump.
Hearing a gasp from the crowd, he explained: "I know. I've always done it."
Brooklyn Brewery's president was too polite to set the mayor straight on the correct way to savor his popular suds. But Julie Johnson, editor of All About Beer magazine, was more than willing to offer Bloomberg some drinking tips. "Never" add ice to beer, she declared, "if you want to respect the efforts the brewers put into the beer." Johnson said craft beers and ales, such as Brooklyn's, are meant to be served at "cellar temperatures" of 50 to 55 degrees and not ice cold, much less watered down. Even a frozen mug would be off limits, she added, since "you don't want to chill it into a tasteless mess." (I have NEVER once pulled out a thermometer to check the temperature of my beer, have you?)
From various beer sources, the right way to drink beer:
To appreciate the flavor in full, you should first drink half the glass, and than sip the remainder, taking your time.
Make sure that you do not overcool beer under any circumstances, as it will lose a great deal of its taste and may become clouded. (So clouded beer tastes better than unclouded beer?)
Beer mustn't be rapidly cooled (for instance, by putting bottles into a freezer) or heated.
Never expose beer to sunlight: it ruins beer. (Must not waste B-E-E-R)
Don't put beer bottles on their sides: beer bottles must be stored upright to prevent the beer from touching the caps.
It turns out that dark and strong beers go down best to high-pitched music, whereas pale beers are best matched with low-pitched music. (Ok... this is REALLY getting serious if we have to match our beer with our music)
Beer, particularly beer in a keg, should be drunk from glasses or mugs made of natural materials such as wood, porcelain, glass, or ceramics. In contrast to plastic and metal receptacles, they do not ruin the beer's taste with foreign flavors.
Beer shouldn't be drunk from a bottle either, as with this mode of consumption the beer fails to impact all the taste sensors of the tongue and some flavors get lost. (A lot of the places I have had beer -- its safer to drink if from the bottle -- less chance of getting sick from someone's poor hygiene)
Pale beer should be drunk early in the day; heavier and darker beer should be left till evening. (Beer is beer.. come on can really tell these "rules" come from New York City)
Contrary to frat house rules, head is important on a beer. Pour your beer straight into the glass, leaving the bottom 1/4 inch of beer in the bottle. When you pour, do it from high above the glass to get maximum head. But, it should be a steady stream with minimal gurgling inside the bottle.
Well, ok -- now that I have thrilled you with this seemingly useless information you are 'beer-educated' and can raise your pinkie as you take a swig.

MCKINNEY (CBSDFW.COM) – Randall Wilder owns Town North Electronics, one of the oldest businesses in Collin County. It's an electronic-turned-computer repair shop in McKinney that he says is inundated with cries for help right now.
"I'd say between five and 10 [customers] just recently called me."
His customers say cyber criminals are calling them pretending to be from software companies. The thieves say they've received warnings from your computer about a virus.
"It started with people calling in and claiming they are from Microsoft or Norton or somebody saying how bad your computer is infected and they want access to your computer."
But what they really want is "access" to your credit cards and your personal information.
Eighty-miles away, just outside of Decatur, Carmon Blassingane and her son, Caleb Hurley, also got two calls.
"He just kept saying you have a bug on your computer," explained Hurley.
"He was very adamant. I'm with Windows tech support. I will walk you through every step. I need you to go to your computer," said Blassingane.
Blassingane is the prime target for these type of attacks according to the Internet Crime Complaint Center, or IC3, report released last month by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the National White Collar Crime Center. The report finds more than 82 percent of complainants are age 20 to 50 years old; more women than men. Fourteen percent were age 60 or older Just more than three percent were under the age of 20.
The study shows Texas has the third most complaints in the country. Only California and Florida have more.
IC3 describes several new attacks. Hackers aren't just impersonating software companies such as Blassingane experienced. Cyber criminals are also using intimidation tactics. They've claimed to be authorities. They've spoofed names such as FBI Director Robert Mueller.
The report says some thieves have become brazen enough to show up at your front door. They'll claim to be process servers there to serve you papers. Then, they'll ask for your debit card as payment.
And there are scarier tactics. Scammers are claiming to belong to international terrorist groups. Some people have received emails telling them a hit man has been hired to kill them or stage their deaths if they don't send money.
Computer gurus like Wilder are now trying to fight the attacks, but last year alone, nearly 300,ooo people nationwide complained about these internet crimes.
"You just feel they are penetrating your home. [It's] scary!" says Blassingane.
A spokesperson with the FBI says she doesn't know why North Texas is seeing an increase in cyber-attacks right now. She did tell the I-Team it seems like "certain regions are hit with certain crimes at the same time."
