AABBAABB stands for American Association of Blood Banks, which is an international organization that provides accreditation. It is important for cord blood samples to be stored at AABB accredited cord blood banks, which are recognized by the USA's National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) and to our knowledge, by all transplant centres. AABB accreditation is, therefore, a basic requirement that a quality cord blood bank should meet.
Allogeneic stem cell transplantAllogeneic stem cell transplants involve two people: the (healthy) donor and the (patient) recipient. Allogeneic stem cell donors must have a tissue (HLA) type that matches the recipient. Matching is performed on the basis of variability at three or more loci of the (HLA) gene, and a perfect match at these loci is preferred. Even if there is a good match at these critical alleles, the recipient will require immunosuppressive medications to mitigate graft-versus-host disease (damage to recipient's body).
Autologous stemcell transplantFor bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cells, an autologous stem cell transplant requires the extraction of haematopoietic stem cells (HSC) from the patient and storage of the harvested cells in a freezer. The patient is then treated with high-dose chemotherapy, with or without radiotherapy, with the intent of eradicating the patient's malignant cell population at the cost of partial or complete bone marrow ablation (destruction of the ability of the patient's bone marrow to grow new blood cells). The patient's own stored stem cells are then returned to his/her body, where they replace destroyed tissue and resume the patient's normal blood cell production. One advantage of autologous stem cell transplantation is that you are getting your own cells back. This means there is no risk that your immune system will reject the transplant or that the transplanted cells will attack or reject your body. A possible disadvantage is that cancer cells may be harvested along with the stem cells and then put back into your body. For cord blood stem cells, cord blood is processed and stored when the baby is born and the cells are used either for the baby later in life, or for a family member of the baby. Cord blood stem cells do not have this disadvantage since it is very rare for a baby to have cancer cells at birth.

Cell viabilityCell viability is a determination of whether cells are living or dead, based on a total cell sample. The viability of cells is evaluated by either measurement of cell membrane integrity or by measuring certain functions of the cells from a total cell sample. For cord blood, normally the viability of cells is indicated by the viability of TNC (CD45+ cells), which is assessed by measurement of membrane integrity with a flow cytometer; however, there is no correlation of the viability of TNC and stem cells (CD34+ cells). The viability of CD34+ cells must, therefore, be assessed if the viability of TNC is low, since the viability of CD34+ cells is more accurate than the viability of TNC but cannot be performed routinely.
Clinical trial phases
Collection kitThe collection kit contains collection and shipping supplies. The collection kit fee is due at registration (Non-refundable). After you have completed your registration, a staff will make arrangements with you in regard to shipping the collection kit to your home or alternate address.
ComponentThis is the final product of cord blood that is left after processing, and which is banked for future transplantation. The component contains nucleated cells, including stem cells, and some red blood cells and plasma. The standard volume of the final product is about 22 millilitres. To obtain the best final product after processing, all or nearly all nucleated cells must be extracted from the processed whole blood, and there should be minimal contamination of the nucleated cells with red blood cells.
ContaminationDuring cord blood processing, all red blood cells should be removed and only nucleated cells should be left in the final product of cord blood that is cryopreserved and stored for future transplant to treat patients. However, it is impossible to remove all red blood cells and in fact, red blood cells are always mixed with nucleated cells in the final product. The number of red blood cells in the final product depends on the quality of processing. The number of red blood cells, therefore, reflects the quality of processing (the fewer red blood cells, the better).

DMSODMSO is an organosulfur compound and is used as a cryoprotectant, a substance that is used to protect biological tissue from freezing damage. It is toxic to humans, so cryopreserved cord blood must be washed before being transplanted to a patient. Washing may be done due to too many red blood cells left in the cord blood component or due to a large volume, which cannot be saved in one freezing bag.
Double stem cell extractionThis technique was developed by our Laboratory and Scientific Director (Dr. Yang) in 1996 and was published in Bone Marrow Transplantation in 2001. It was modified later and was published in Transfusion in 2011. Double processing is critical to ensure the quality of each cord blood sample. Using this technique, only 1/1000 samples yields lower than 80% and less than 5/100 samples yields less than 95% of total nucleated cells.

GvHD (Graft Versus Host Disease)
HCT (hematocrit)The hematocrit (hct) is the proportion of the blood, by volume, that consists of red blood cells. The hct is expressed as a percentage. For example, a hematocrit of 25% means that there are 25 millilitres of red blood cells in 100 millilitres of blood. A quarter of the blood consists of red blood cells. For cord blood, it refers to the volume of red blood cells as a percentage (%) that the cord blood component is contaminated with (the cord blood component is the portion that is banked for future transplantation).

Next Flight OutNext flight out is the highest level of courier service. It means the cord blood will be shipped on the next available flight and is completely different from "next day service," which means cord blood will be shipped on the next day's flight if the flight on the same day is missed, so there will be an additional 24 hour delay before cord blood arrives at the lab for processing. This will affect the viability significantly. Certainly next flight out service costs much more and may not be affordable for some clients; therefore, some banks offer a lower level of service. Progenics, however, will pay a portion of the fee for our clients in order to make the highest level of courier service more affordable. Quality is most important for you and Progenics!
Next Flight Out
Peripheral Blood Stem CellsHematopoietic (blood-forming) stem cells are present in circulating (peripheral) blood. Normally there are not enough stem cells in circulating blood for a transplant. To obtain enough stem cells, the stem cells are lured out of the bone marrow by a special regimen of drugs. The blood is then filtered through a machine and the stem cells are skimmed off. The removal of the cells is termed pheresis or apheresis.

Processing Success RateThe processing success rate is defined mainly by public cord blood banks to determine if the processed cord blood should be discarded. Private cord blood banks, which bank cord blood for family use, normally do not provide such information. Progenics defines processing success as a yield of TNC that is >=85%. 80% is the average yield for most cord blood banks, implying that up to 50% of cord blood samples processed at those banks have a recovery rate of total nucleated cells that is ~80%.

TNC (Total Nucleated Cell)
Yield of TNCYield of total nucleated cells (TNC) is also called the recovery rate of TNC. The yield of total nucleated cells is the percentage of TNC that is extracted during processing. The higher the yield, the better.
Yield of TNC (%) = (Number of TNC extracted from processing/Total TNC before processing) x 100%
The yield of TNC is the most important processing quality indicator because it indicates how well a cord blood sample has been processed, regardless of the volume of the cord blood that was collected from the baby at birth.
Note: Total nucleated cells (TNC) are the most reliable indicator for a successful transplant (Moroff G et al. Transplantation and Cellular Engineering (2006) 46:507-515).

Well-documented breast cancer tissue collection meets high throughput proteomics to find aggressive-tumor markers in blood
News Release
April 16, 2008
To identify proteins in blood or tissue that might indicate metastatic cancer, PNNL researchers use instruments such as this mass spectrometer.
RICHLAND, Wash. —
Mammography and biopsies help find breast cancer, but even biopsies won't tell the doctor if the cancer will spread. Now, a two-year research project hopes to find proteins in blood that could alert doctors to patients harboring not just breast cancer, but the nastiest versions of the disease.
The project takes advantage of one of the most comprehensive collections of breast cancer clinical samples, located at the Walter Reed-Windber Clinical Breast Care Project in Washington, D.C. and Windber, Penn., and advanced proteomics technology at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, Wash. The collaborators are searching for proteins that indicate aggressive breast cancer and that can be detected by a simple blood test. The Department of Defense is providing about $2 million over two years for the study, to be split between the organizations.
"This is an example of expertise in two areas coming together with a plan whose results will be greater than the sum of its parts," says Col. Craig Shriver, M.D., director of the Clinical Breast Care Project.
Although scientists have identified two genes that predispose young women to breast cancer, the vast majority of cases in pre-menopausal women have no obvious genetic link. A blood-borne biomarker would add substantially to the tools available to fight the disease. Many groups are looking for such biomarkers, but access to a 30,000-sample blood and tissue collection, and cutting-edge high-throughput proteomics sets this project apart.
"We're looking for aggressive cancer indicators in pre-menopausal women, and the Army has both the tissue samples and the matching plasma," says cancer biologist Karin Rodland of PNNL, who will work with PNNL's Dick Smith, lead investigator on the proteomics half of the project.
The cancer indicators they are seeking are proteins that arise from genes that have run amuck in cancer. Comparing proteins that work in cancer cells to those in normal cells might reveal how the cells maintain and disperse the cancer throughout the body.
"The genes are the generals giving orders. And those proteins are the foot soldiers who take those orders and accomplish the goal based on the local conditions they find," says Shriver. "Until we know what's going on at the protein level, we don't know how the orders are being applied in the cells."
In addition to finding a tool to fight cancer, Shriver says, the project will likely suggest details of the inner workings of breast cancer cells.
"Hunting for biomarkers is a difficult process," adds geneticist Richard Mural, chief scientific officer at Windber. "But this project will generate unique and new data."
The military might seem an odd place to turn to study what largely afflicts women, but a fifth of the Army's active duty contingent are women, and many of the rest are married to women. In concert with Windber, the Army opened the Clinical Breast Care Project in 2001 to focus solely on breast health to assure the well-being of the force. Since then, they have collected more than 30,000 breast cancer and blood samples from about 4000 female patients.
The clinical sample collection is one key to the project's success, the researchers say. The samples follow the course of the disease, which is one of the best ways to track the growth and spread of cancer, says Mural. Blood samples have been collected before and after surgical treatment, and workers gather the clinical and family histories from the women. Pathologists examine the cancer tissue and the samples are handled and stored under strict protocols, Mural says.
The team will compare the proteins of cancers that stayed in the breast to cancers that spread to lymph nodes, which the scientists hope will reveal proteins that metastasizing tumors use to make their way through the body. The team will also compare diseased tissues from pre- and post-menopausal women. This will ferret out proteins from cancers that hit young women, which are generally more life-threatening than disease that shows up in the years after menopause.
To avoid complications from healthy tissue, Mural's team at Windber will use lasers to carefully snip the cancerous cells from the surrounding breast tissue, and then send the cancer cells to Smith and Rodland for proteomics analysis at the DOE's Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory on the PNNL campus. Cutting away the healthy tissue will result in very small samples, but EMSL is set up to study samples that are up to a thousand times smaller than other labs, says Smith.
"PNNL's tissue proteomics is at the cutting edge of the technology," says Mural. "What they can do isn't happening elsewhere."
Rodland says the task is daunting because the biomarkers are at very low concentrations and are hidden in the noise of thousands of proteins. Smith adds that PNNL's methods and instruments can identify many more proteins and allow samples from more patients to be analyzed than other labs.
After identifying proteins that might qualify as biomarkers, the researchers will scour the blood samples to determine whether the proteins are there as well as in the tissue, and ensure that the proteins only show up in the blood samples of women who had aggressive cancer. At the end of two years, the researchers expect to have a handful of biomarkers that can then be tested in women newly diagnosed with breast cancer.

Nov 21, 2017 – Tiwa Savage Pregnant With 2nd Child…Baby# 2 Expected Next Year [PHOTOS]
Singer Expecting 2nd Child For Husband Tunji Balogun Next Year
Jamil Balogun is set to become a big brother as his mum, Tiwatope Savage is already expecting her second child.
Though the songstress left her husband last year, it seems the two are back on a good term.
NG confirmed this through a close friend of the songstress today who refused to give us her expected due date.
However, we can tell you authoritatively that the singer is 2.5months pregnant and she is really excited as her son will now have someone to play with.
Another Amebo source said though the singer is still not 100% sure about her marriage for now she believes having another child is best for her son.
Tiwa and her former manager turned husband Olatunji Balogun welcomed Jamil in 2015.
Just like Genevieve Nnaji is doing, Tiwa Savage has adopted the cover-up approach to keep her baby bump away from prying eyes.
Here are some of Tiwa Savage and her beautiful baby bump.

From section 3.2, Cascading Order: --------------------- The UA may choose to honor other stylistic HTML attributes, for example 'ALIGN'. If so, these attributes are translated to the corresponding CSS rules with specificity equal to 1. The rules are assumed to be at the start of the author style sheet and may be overridden by subsequent style sheet rules. In a transition phase, this policy will make it easier for stylistic attributes to coexist with style sheets. --------------------- Key sentence: "The rules are assumed to be at the start of the author style sheet and may be overridden by subsequent style sheet rules."

Bioware's "Mass Effect: Andromeda" has been averaging scores in the 7/10 range, a decided drop from the 9s the previous games in the series managed. Part of that is due to the backlash against the ending of the third game, and part of it is due to the new one being more a spin-off than a true fourth game.
But most of it is due to the game, being WAY larger than any of the previous games in the series and being handled by a completely new development team, has resulted in an obvious drop in quality control – manifesting in poor character animation, clunky dialogue, a short changing of some of the relationships (notably the same sex ones) and plenty of bugs.
It's a shame because reviewers who've played well beyond the ten-hour early access have been singing the game's praises for all its RPG options, its massive planetary levels and some of its narrative elements. It's ambitious, epic in scope and often beautiful which makes the glitches and few weak elements stand out more.
Now, a little over a week since the game hit shelves, BioWare has steped up and respond to criticism with the company saying they plan to share more of [their] immediate plans with fans on Tuesday, April 4th with the hope that there'll be improvements on what's to come here.
"Mass Effect: Andromeda" is currently available for purchase on PC, Xbox One, and PS4.

Have you noticed that however much you exercise, it doesn't make a difference to your weight? Did you think it was just you, and that you needed to try a bit harder? Or that you weren't doing it quite correctly?
There's no doubt that exercise makes you fitter and stronger, but new studies are showing that it doesn't help to promote weight loss. Dr John Briffa tells us more about it here.
I first started to think about this concept when I went to watch the London marathon. There were runners of all shapes and sizes, and everyone there must have done a fair bit of training – well, by the time I'd saw them they'd run 13 miles and were still going so that's saying something! I had assumed that all runners would be stick thin on account of all the exercise they were doing. Not so.
So what's going on here? Many people think that exercise is an essential part of losing weight, and if they could just have the motivation to get to the gym, the pounds would melt away.
My belief is that overeating is the primary cause of weight gain, not lack of exercise. Overeating includes all the times when you eat food that you're not hungry for: food that you eat as a treat rather than because you're hungry; finishing everything on your plate because you don't want to waste it; eating the kid's leftovers because it's a shame to put it in the bin; eating food because you 'deserve it'; having a muffin when you have a coffee because that's just what you always do; eating a big meal and feeling stuffed and horrible afterwards.
If you are overweight due to overeating, then you are likely to continue doing so whether you are exercising or not. Your appetite may increase if you do more exercise, but you will still probably eat more than you need.
So it makes sense to look at the causes of over-eating if you want to become at peace with food and your body. Doing any kind of regular exercise is of course a healthy activity, but it might not affect your weight unless you address the causes of your over eating as well.
My friends at Beyond Chocolate are experts in this area. Reading their book is a good place to start, but they are also running a one day course called 'Stop Emotional Eating' which will help you to look at what role overeating plays in your life, and how you can change things. If you want to have a chat with me about any of this, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

An anthemic call to arms, this title track from North Coast four piece 'Little Arcadia's latest EP is proof that the weight of expectation on a band isn't necessarily always a bad thing.
A slow building, hook heavy affair, 'Anywhere Else' see's all the potential this young group have steadily polished since their early days bloom into one hell of a chorus, made all the better with some poetic love/lost lyricism to boot. The pile driving, foot to the floor indie riffs this band are so clearly capable of are not rushed out here, instead choosing their time and place to arise from the song. Indeed, throughout this entire Ep the band show their attention to detail, getting the very most out of every melody.
There's a delicacy too to frontman Eunan Brown's vocal; it's visceral, full of emotion like the crashing guitars which surround it. Much like Owen Strathern of Oh Volcano (formerly General Fiasco), Brown sounds on the edge of collapse, nearly screaming into some of the songs later verses, and it sounds great. There's a North Coast charm to this record too, the soaring riffs of lead guitarist Dillon Templeton echoing ASIWYFA at times.
Whilst this track (yet to be released as a single, though there's still time!), treads the fine line between alt-rock and indie, it does so with utter respect to both genres. Whether you want to look cool with some music blasting in your car, or loose yourself in a mosh-pit, 'Anywhere Else' covers all the bases.

Wow!!!! Very nice work!!
We are heading in the same direction and maybe you will join me in my attempt to start lifting hundreds of people per launch.
Post and share this story if you want us to build HotelsInSpace.
Here is a vehicle that can take you to any orbit in this solar system.
Or produce rental income here at Earth.
In 1961, the first man went to space and back.
50 years later, Tasha9503 wants to lift 213 people per launch and reuse the hardware that lifted them as infrastructure in Space.

AMECs UK environmental business appoints new head of sustainability services
Posted: Tuesday 6th October 2009
AMECs UK environmental business has strengthened its senior management team with the appointment of James Anderson as head of strategic and sustainability services. He joins AMEC from Montgomery Watson, where he was strategic advisory and sustainability director.
James, 49, has over 25 years experience in environmental consulting, business management and developing climate change legislation. Based at AMECs Weybridge office in Surrey, he will be responsible for developing business across areas such as sustainable planning, green procurement and corporate governance, through to tackling global climate change issues for major corporations and strategic asset management.
Recent high profile commissions have seen James work on the assessment of national policy statements covering sustainability and environmental issues for the development of new nuclear in the UK and assist with development of the UK Climate Change Bill and the Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC).
James is also an advisor to separate government departments(1), DEFRA, DECC and BIS, on CRC legislation and associated carbon trading and auctioning processes.
It is an exciting time to be growing strategic and sustainability services in an organisation like AMEC, explains James. Particularly against a backdrop of the unprecedented challenge facing this country - and the international community - to meet hugely demanding carbon reduction and efficiency targets across power generation, transportation, industry, commerce and the residential sector.
Business sustainability is really about protection of assets and compliance with legislation; turning risks into opportunities whilst securing future growth and operating with maximum efficiency and transparency - and these issues are already at the heart of AMECs values and guiding principles.

"Saying Goodbye to That Irish Feeling"
The bellows of Uilleann pipes combined with the occasional shrill of the tin whistle and wooden flute resonate as glasses of Guinness clash together in cheers of merriment. The thump of shoes clomping against the floor reverberates to the festive music. Shouts of "Oh Danny Boy!"ring in the air. Is this a bar in Dublin, Ireland? Is it St. Patrick's Day, the one day of the year that Celtic music is as omnipresent as the color green? No, it's the sound of one of Baltimore 's favorite local bands, O'Malley's March. Until recently, it didn't have to be St. Patrick's Day for the gregariousness of the Irish spirit to be heard in this city, where the mayor was the lead singer, songwriter and acoustic guitarist of this Celtic rock band.
On March 14, 2005, three days shy of the biggest Irish celebration, Martin O'Malley posted a farewell to fans on the band's website, announcing his decision to commit his "aging creative energies" to the progress of his mayoral duties. The St. Patrick's Day show at the Recher Theatre was his last season performance with the band. The mayor said he needs to take his focus on "continuing the city's remarkable progress and being laser focused on getting the state moving in the right direction again."
Annette Jones-Wilson, the band's manager and long time friend of O'Malley, says Martin's decision was not a surprise.
"Martin really wants to decrease the homicide rate, improve the schools and improve the living conditions for everybody in Baltimore," Jones-Wilson said. "He continues to be re-elected and we've known for a while that this was coming." They will still continue to play their booked shows whether O'Malley is there or not.
Despite the recent announcement, O'Malley's March still remains a Charm City favorite. The band was established in 1988. The songs were a combination of the sounds of Jamie Wilson on the drums, Jared Denhard on the harp, Highland bagpipes and trombone, Jim Eagan playing the electric and string violin, Sean McComiskey playing the button accordion, Ralph Reinoldi playing the electric guitar and mandolin, Pete Miller on bass and the voice and songs of Martin O'Malley. The band played year round at local clubs and in Washington D.C., Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, Pa. Its roots originate and will always remain a part of Baltimore.
The band infused the traditional cadence of Celtic song with the elements of rock rhythms, but added a little more than just a modern twist to a classic beat. Perhaps the popularity of the band was due, in part, to the "local" feeling. Although the band plays the festive music of a faraway place, just the plain fact that every single member lives and is from Baltimore contributed to a huge part of their success. The fact that the lead vocalist was the mayor may have also had something to do with it. The songs that were written by Mayor O'Malley brought the distant sounds home to Baltimore , giving the band a more local feel and flavor. Songs like "The Battle of Baltimore," "South Baltimore Lullaby," and "Streets of Baltimore" connect with the city--Irish descendents or not. O'Malley combined his love for Baltimore and his appreciation of his roots in many of his songs. Annette Jones-Wilson says that the songs are more about the experience of coming to Baltimore and about the Irish immigrants.
"'Battle of Baltimore'" is about the historical events that happened in Baltimore and how Baltimore defended the country against the British," Jones-Wilson said. The song brings a very patriotic feeling, not only for the country, but for Baltimore. Lyrics like "We'll stand alone for love and liberty. We'll stand alone for this one land of the free. And when the bombs of Hell come raining down tonight, we'll stand alone for Baltimore and liberty…" definitely pulls the pride and heart chords of Baltimore residents.
"I definitely think that Martin has very strong patriotic feelings for Baltimore . I really feel that he has a general passion and love for Baltimore and his Irish roots," Jones-Wilson said.
Each of the band members originate from Baltimore or areas around Baltimore and some have been lifelong residents of the city. Jim Eagan has lived in Northeast Baltimore all his life, attending local schools, such as Waldorf School of Baltimore, Baltimore School for the Arts and Loyola College. Sean McComiskey attended Calvert Hall College High School and attends Towson University. Jamie Wilson moved from Virginia in 1972 to attend the Maryland College Institute of Art and has remained a Baltimore resident ever since.
If that wasn't enough for Baltimore residents to feel connected to the band, the performances were so energetic and lively, it surely got their hearts pumping. The band members jumped, danced, and jigged; giving the music more life. The band members got a feel for the crowd and played according to the mood of the crowd.
"When they were on stage, they got such a feel for the crowd they played for. They were so palpable," Jones-Wilson said. "They would be in the middle of a set and were able to adapt and try different songs to play for different types of crowds," Jones-Wilson adds.
Jamie Wilson, the band's drummer said, "It depends on the venue, but places like the Funkbox, brings a crowd that listens."
The Funkbox, formerly known as 8x10, is located in the Federal Hill neighborhood of the city, claiming to be "Federal Hill's only live music venue." Equipped with a spring-loaded floor, it's easy to groove, leap and sway to convivial sounds of O'Malley's March.
Nonetheless, the show must go on, with or without the mayor. O'Malley's decision to direct all his focus on his political duties has given the other band members the opportunity to pursue other projects. "We will continue to play the gigs we have booked," Jones-Wilson said. "They've known this was coming for a while and most of the guys will work on other various projects. They've got so many gigs they will be so busy, they won't feel it for a while," she said.
"Everyone is busy on a lot of other projects. Martin's decision has given us a work on those. I think everyone will just get busier with their other projects," Wilson said.
In fact, many of the band members have already begun new projects and have worked on them for the past couple years. Currently, Wilson is in three other bands and also records in his studio at home. Jared Denhard, the harp player, is also in another band and has been focusing on his other various projects.
Even though O'Malley's decision will deeply affect his band members and his fans, the show must go on for everyone. O'Malley's contributions to the band will be remembered and the sounds of O'Malley's March will forever be one of the distinctive sounds of Baltimore.

Telling the ĹmultilayeredĺRed Rock history
Ten years in the making, Colorado Springs writer Ruth Obee's new book provides a detailed history of Red Rock Canyon from primeval times to its present-day status as a city open space.
Along the way, ôHistory in Stone: The Story of Red Rock Canyonö presents explanations of what made that past interesting, including the rocks themselves, indigenous animal life, different Indian tribes, the changes that came with gold-hunters and settlers, the quarrying of Red Rock sandstone, numerous colorful individuals, the Bock family that owned and lived on the roughly 790-acre property for 80 years and the uphill citizen fight to save it from development.
ôThere are not many places with that much history,ö Obee said in a recent interview,. ôI get real excited and inspired by it.ö
Obee said she once hoped to have the book come out sooner, but is grateful now that it took longer, because this allowed her to add an epilogue that addresses the more recent city purchases of Red Rock-neighboring open space properties White Acres and Section 16. The book ôturned out to be a much bigger project than I ever anticipated, but it was wonderful because I learned so much,ö she said.
ôHistory in Stoneö contains 250 pages of prose, plus a one-page Obee poem, titled ôIn Praise of Red Rock Canyon.ö At the front is a six-page Acknowledge-ments section, in which she names more than 60 individual sources that aided her research and mentions others in terms of entity or organization. There are also numerous drawings and photographs, supplied by local individuals, groups and publications (including the Westside Pioneer).
Hers is the second major work on Red Rock since the open space opened. The other was the 2010 ôGeologic Folio: Red Rock Canyon Open Space, Colorado Springs, Colo-rado,ö by Ken Weissen-burger, Sharon Milito and Don Ellis. She thanks all three in her Acknowledge-ments for helping with her book's facts. Asked to compare the two works, she said she thinks they are different in many ways but also ôcomplement each other.ö
A chapter that may especially appeal to local readers is the one titled ôThe Bocks.ö Obee provides mini-biographies of John G. Bock, a cowboy and decorated World War I veteran who afterward pieced together the Red Rock property from numerous land purchases; and his sons, John S. and Richard, who built a landfill and gravel quarry and advocated unsuccessfully to develop the property into a large residential/commercial community. The younger John was especially known for running trespassers off with a shotgun.
Another chapter gives an in-depth account - much of it gained first-hand - of the determined citizen advocacy effort that led to the open-space purchase after it appeared inevitable that John S. Bock and the Zydeco group would be able to develop the property.
ôWhat strikes me about it is that its history is as multilayered as the rocks themselves,ö Obee commented.
The book will be available soon in local stores, she said.

POSTED BY Coley Ward ON 3:19 pm, July 30, 2006 - POSTED IN News reel
This just in: the Philadelphia Phillies have pulled the trigger on a major deadline deal, sending RF Bobby Abreu and SP Corey Lidle to the Yankees in exchange for three minor leaguers. From ESPN.com:
Stark reported the Yankees will send the Phillies 20-year-old minor-league shortstop C.J. Henry — their No. 1 pick in 2005 — and 27-year-old left-handed reliever Matt Smith. The Phillies will also pick one other minor-league player from an agreed-upon list, while the Yankees will take on responsibility for Abreu and Lidle's contracts. Abreu is owed $15 million for 2007 alone.
Abreu has a full no-trade clause in his contract and has the right to accept or reject the deal. In the past his agent has said any team trading for Abreu would have to pick up his $16 million option for 2008 to get him to waive the no-trade clause. However, Abreu himself recently has backed off that stance.
Abreu is hitting .277 with 8 home runs and 65 RBI in 99 games. He has a career batting average of .301 with 198 home runs and 841 RBI over 10 seasons.
Lidle, a right-hander, is 8-7 with a 4.74 ERA in 21 starts in 2006. In eight seasons he has a career mark of 78-69 with a 4.54 ERA.
Abreu was in the Phillies' starting lineup Sunday but was pulled for Shane Victorino 10 minutes before their game with the Florida Marlins.
Some thoughts:
1. Phillies GM Pat Gillick has come a long way from last off-season's assertion that he would only trade Abreu or LF Pat Burrell for top-of-the-line starting pitching. The Phillies didn't get any starting pitching in this deal. Actually, they gave up a starting pitcher, though not much of a starting pitcher, in Corey Lidle.
2. So why was Gillick willing to trade Abreu, one of the league's truly complete players, for just prospects and a 27 year-old reliever? It almost certainly comes down to the Phillies' need to rebuild their farm system and the need to clear salary cap space so that Gillick can go after the major arms that he so covets.
3. Philly fans never warmed to Abreu. But at the end of the day, we're talking about a guy with a nack for getting on base, with a cannon for an arm, who hits for power and has good speed. And what that Inquirer story doesn't mention is that Abreu is third in the NL in OBP. How do you replace that kind of production? You don't.
4. Abreu is joining a lineup where he'll be surrounded by Jeter, A-Rod, Giambi, Damon and eventually Matsui and Sheffield. That's scary. No, really. That's just plain frightening.
5. Of course, the Yankees still need to address their pitching. Will Corey Lidle be the answer? That's hard to imagine. But, Lidle can eat innings. And the Yankees will score runs behind him. So he'll probably earn a few Ws.

No Sea Ice in the Arctic in a Decade, Scientists Warn
More bad news (I guess there isn't so much that has been good) about the effects of climate change and rising greenhouse gas emissions on the environment. The European Space Agency's CryoSat-2 satellite — the world's first specifically built to study sea ice thickness — has found that the Arctic's sea ice is disappearing at a far faster rate than previously thought. The satellite has discovered that the Arctic ocean has lost approximately 900 cubic kilometers of summer sea ice over the past year, 50 percent more than had been thought.
By way of comparison, the Guardian cites previous figures for sea ice:
- In 2004, the volume of sea ice in the Arctic ocean was 17,000 cubic kilometers.
- This winter, CryoSat found that it was 14,000 cubic kilometers.
Scientists say that, if the sea ice continues to disappear at such a rate, there will be no sea ice in the summer in about a decade.
The implications are huge: With no sea ice in the summer, a rush on the region's fish stocks, oil, minerals and sea routes could be unleashed. The Guardian describes additional effects:
Without the cap's white brilliance to reflect sunlight back into space, the region will heat up even more than at present. As a result, ocean temperatures will rise and methane deposits on the ocean floor could melt, evaporate and bubble into the atmosphere. Scientists have recently reported evidence that methane plumes are now appearing in many areas. Methane is a particularly powerful greenhouse gas and rising levels of it in the atmosphere are only likely to accelerate global warming. And with the disappearance of sea ice around the shores of Greenland, its glaciers could melt faster and raise sea levels even more rapidly than at present.
Professor Chris Rapley of University College London also notes that, with the temperature differences between the Arctic and the equator declining, lower latitudes could see more "volatility" in the weather as was seen this year, as it is "possible that the jet stream in the upper atmosphere could become more unstable."
The loss of the sea ice is a stark reminder of how interconnected the planet's weather systems are, with what happens in low attitudes affecting the high latitudes and vice versa.
Sea ice has also thinned substantially in other regions north of Canada and Greenland. A decade ago, ice thickness was at around five to six meters but levels have now dropped to one to three meters.
Another UCL scientist, Seymour Laxon, emphasized caution about the results from Cryo-Sat-2 as they are only based on preliminary studies. For instance, Laxon points out that the rate of sea ice loss is less in winter when "ice is growing more rapidly than it did in the past and that this effect is compensating, partially, for the loss of summer ice." But scientists concur that "the trend for ice coverage in Arctic is definitely downwards, particularly in summer."
In the poem "Fire and Ice," Robert Frost wrote that "some say the world will end in fire, / some say in ice" — but the chances for the latter seem to be fast disappearing.

Is it expensive?
With over half a million short term policies sold already many people
don't think so. But it only takes less than a minute to get a quote so
why not go for it.
How long do policies last for?
You can choose any number of days between a
single 24 hour period and four weeks.
Can I trust it?
Insurance companies trading in the UK have to go through a rigorous
vetting procedure before they are authorised by the
Financial Conduct Authority which
tightly regulates them. In the (very unlikely) event of an authorised
insurer going bust there is a fund called the
Financial Services Compensation Scheme
that you can apply to.
Who can apply?
Motorists must be over 18/under 75 and have held a
full UK driving licence for at least 6 months or an EU licence for at
least a year. As usual driving records, postcodes, ages etc are
taken into consideration when calculating eligibility or premiums so the
cleaner the licence the better. The best way to find out whether or not
you would qualify would be to get a quote.
What sort of car can I insure?
You can insure a vehicle that you own, or a
borrowed/shared one that you have the owner's permission to drive.
You cannot insure a hired car on this type of policy however. To keep costs down all the temporary car
insurance companies have lists of cars that they will accept. If the one
you want to insure isn't on a list it cannot be covered, unfortunately,
but the majority of applicants have no problem. Different insurers have
different criteria but generally it must be UK registered and kept in
the UK, unmodified, with no more than six seats. See the policy details
of the company you choose to deal with for any other conditions.
What sort of cover can I get?
A standard policy is usually comprehensive
for driving in the UK and the equivalent of third party only for driving
through EU countries. There are usually options for upgrading to
comprehensive for EU travel and for including roadside assistance. Most
companies have a maximum they will pay for damage to an insured person's
own vehicle; a ball park figure for this is £40,000 but it can very so,
again, check the documentation if you are insuring a particularly
valuable car.
How do I buy it?
You will need to know the registration
details of the car you want to insure, when you want the cover to start,
your credit card details (of course!)
and how long you want to insure it for. Some insurers (not all) will
also ask for your driving licence details. Visit a short term insurance
website, and spend less than a minute getting a quote. If it's acceptable
you could have a policy in place and your documentation delivered to you
electronically within just a few minutes more.
carinsuranceshortterm.co.uk 2014Quotes are
provided by Sky Insurance Services Group Limited
with whom we have a trading agreement only and who
are authorised and regulated by the Financial
Conduct Authority no. 469048. We receive from them a

not affect the premium you pay for your policy in
any way.

Often, when you are writing in Microsoft Word, you will have certain sentences flagged up in the spellchecker as 'passive'. The program tells you to consider changing this. Why? What is the passive voice, and is it such a bad thing?
The Active Voice
To understand what the passive voice is, first of all you have to understand what the active voice means. This is simple. It's when the subject is doing the action: 'Mary is making a strawberry jam sandwich'. Another example is the first line of that old Christmas tune by Bing Crosby: 'I'm dreaming of a white Christmas'. The subject 'I' is doing something- 'dreaming'.
The Passive Voice
To make a sentence passive, you have to switch the subject and the action. So 'Mary is making a strawberry jam sandwich' becomes 'a strawberry jam sandwich is being made by Mary'.
To make 'White Christmas' passive, Bing Crosby would have to sing 'A white Christmas is being dreamed of by me'. Not such a catchy opening line for a hit single.
The Difference
So the basic difference between the two sentences is that the first is clearer and snappier, whilst the second obscures the subject by burying it in the middle of the sentence, or sometimes by omitting it altogether. We could just say 'a strawberry jam sandwich is being made'. This way we give the detail without having to name Mary at all.
This can be used to great effect in mystery novels. In the sentence 'the woman was shot', we can reveal the incident without naming the culprit. Similarly, the passive voice is often used by politicians attempting to sidestep the blame for something: 'bombs were dropped' sounds much more innocent than 'we dropped the bombs'.
So which should I use?
In an academic piece of writing, you will sometimes prefer to use the passive voice. This is because convention states that you should avoid the use of 'I' in academic writing. The reason? It makes the writing sound more objective and authoritative. Yes, of course, we all know that the writer of the paper is probably the one who carried out the tests but 'I carried out several tests' doesn't sound nearly as professional as 'several tests were carried out'.
The most important part of the text to avoid using 'I' in is the conclusion. It doesn't sound very objective to say 'I believe that exposure to Ebola causes the disease to spread'. This sounds like an opinion. Instead, you can put something like: 'the data suggests that exposure to Ebola causes the disease to spread'. In this way it is the data (something objective) doing the suggesting rather than you.
For more advice on how to make your writing snappier, why not send it to the professionals at ProofreadMyDocument? They can check your work for all instances of the passive voice and advise you on where it is necessary.

Important Notice
The Phytobiophysics formulas are used by many thousands of people worldwide and are not designed to treat, diagnose, cure, or prevent any diseases or medical conditions but to provide emotional and spiritual assistance to help the body to heal itself
"The osteopathic paradigm is that , "Structure governs function"! However, I believe that emotions impact on function therefore they must also interfere with structure."
Anthony Mossop
Flower Formulas support emotions and help people to deal with the sad, painful and traumatic experiences that we all suffer with throughout our lives. Emotions interfere with function which then creates physical imbalance. Through stabilising the emotional issues in our lives, we may then recover from the physical manifestation.

Good Luck Basics
As you can tell from the logo over at The Chinese Knotting Homepage, the good luck knot is one of my favourites.
To the left here started out as an experiment with decorative rope making. I wanted to see if I could duplicate a braided look with twisted rope techniques. The rope side of things worked out (at least to my eyes) but then what to do with it? The good luck knot seemed like a good choice as there is minimal fiddling with the cord during construction for this decorative rope with unknown durability.
To help emphasize the structure of the various knots, to accompany the monochrome example knot, I'm tying versions that are half rainbow and half black. The rainbow colours provide both contrast to the black and an indication of where along the length of the cord being used to tie the knot the various elements of the knot might be.
Similarly for the last knot on the left, a basic black knot is doubled with a rainbow cord.
The good luck knot is different from most of the other knots with multiple ears in that there are double the number of ears than the size number of the knot would indicate. The 4-knots here on this page have 8 ears each. 4 short and 4 long. But, of course, ear size is subject to the whims of the knot tyer so basing terminology on that would be foolish. However, notice that what is traditionally the "long" ear comes out of the side of the knot and the "short" ear wraps around the corner of the knot. So, there you have some terminology to deal with the good luck family of knots.
