ASBMB members in the news this month include Carlos F. Barbas III, Peter M. J. Burgers, Leroy Hood, Stefan Jentsch, Stuart L. Schreiber, Stuart Kornfeld, James E. Rothman and Randy W. Schekman. We also look back on the life of James R. (Jim) Mattoon.
Carlos F. Barbas III, the Janet and Keith Kellogg II chair in molecular biology at the Scripps Research Institute, is among the recipients of the 2010 National Institutes of Health Director's Pioneer Awards. The awards, given to exceptionally creative scientists who take innovative approaches to major challenges in biomedical research, provide up to $500,000 in research funding for five years.
Barbas' project will focus on chemically programming immunity, which could lead to pills that instantaneously program both adaptive and innate arms of the immune system to attack a tumor or virus, preventing infection and halting disease. His goal is to develop novel approaches that allow innate and acquired immunity to be targeted purposefully to pathogens of interest. Ultimately, the studies will allow scientists to program a variety of immune cells and responses to attack pathogens of interest using a variety of mechanisms. He also intends to explore novel approaches that should allow for circulating immunoglobulins induced with covalent vaccines to be programmed to inhibit HIV-1 and flu virus entry. The vaccines that result from these studies may be of both prophylactic and therapeutic utility.
Peter M. J. Burgers has been named the Marvin A. Brennecke professor of biological chemistry at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. The professorship will provide continuous funding for Burgers' research, which focuses on DNA replication and repair.
The professorship is named for Marvin A. Brennecke, a 1930 graduate of the school of medicine. Brennecke spent the bulk of his career in Hawaii, where he served as the Territory of Hawaii government physician for the Koloa District and later as medical director of Waimea Hospital in Waimea, Kauai. Brennecke died in 1994, leaving a gift to the university that provides ongoing funding for three named professorships. In addition to Burgers' appointment, the gift supports the Brennecke professor of molecular microbiology and the Brennecke professor of biophysics.
Burgers studies DNA metabolism in yeast cells. He is particularly interested in the DNA replication fork and the mechanisms that come into play when replication goes awry because of DNA damage or other stress.
Leroy Hood, president and co-founder of the Institute for Systems Biology, has been awarded the bioengineering profession's highest honor, the Fritz J. and Dolores H. Russ Prize. The prize, given by Ohio University and the National Academy of Engineering, was presented to Hood for his discoveries related to the sequencing of the human genome.
"Dr. Hood's contribution has advanced health and quality of life in the U.S. and around the world, and have enhanced the education of future engineering leaders," said NAE president Charles Vest in a news release. "Recognizing him not only rewards great accomplishments but also shines a light on the importance of work that may inspire others to build on their achievements."
Hood developed the automated DNA sequencer, which enables the rapid, automated sequencing of DNA, making a significant contribution to the mapping of the human genome and revolutionizing the field of genomics. To date, more than 1,000 genomes have been revealed using the automated DNA sequencer, transforming many areas of biology and accelerating the pace of scientific discovery in ways that will profoundly impact research in the coming decades.
The advancement also has led to expressed sequence tagging, which ultimately helped to predict gene function, and the ability to identify genes involved in diseases.
The Russ Prize was established in 1999 at the request of Ohio University to honor alumnus and esteemed engineer Fritz Russ and his wife, Dolores. Their multimillion dollar gift to the university for the prize was intended to promote engineering education and bioengineering achievements that are in widespread use and have improved the human condition worldwide. Hood is the sixth recipient of the biennial prize, which is modeled after the Nobel Prize.
Stefan Jentsch, director of the department of molecular cell biology at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry in Germany, has been selected to receive the 2011 Louis-Jeantet Prize for Medicine.
Jentsch received the award for his work on small protein modifiers and their role in DNA repair. He pioneered studies on protein modifications by ubiquitin and related proteins. Modification of proteins by ubiquitin usually targets the proteins for degradation. However, Jentsch's research revealed that ubiquitin also plays a crucial role in genome maintenance and DNA repair. This research has significant medical importance, as damaged DNA can cause various diseases, notably cancer.
The Louis-Jeantet Foundation grants 700,000 Swiss Francs for each of the 2011 prizes, 600,000 of which are for the continuation of the prize-winners' work and 100,000 for their personal use. The prizes are given to cutting-edge researchers who are active in the European Council member countries. Established in 1986, the Louis-Jeantet Prize for Medicine thus far has been awarded to 73 researchers: 23 in the United Kingdom, 14 in Switzerland, 12 in France, 11 in Germany, three in the Netherlands, three in Sweden, two in Belgium, two in Finland, two in Norway and one in Austria.
Stuart L. Schreiber, the Morris Loeb professor in the department of chemistry and chemical biology at Harvard University and founding member of the Broad Institute of Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University, has been awarded the American Chemical Society's Chemical Biology Lectureship in recognition of his pioneering contributions to research at the interface of chemistry and biology.
Schreiber and his colleagues pioneered the concept of diversity-oriented synthesis and chemical genetics to discover new drug targets and to elucidate new biological pathways, including the fundamental biological importance of histone deacetylation. His current work deals with exploiting new insights into cancer cell genomes to develop novel therapeutic agents by correlating drug efficacies with the genetic features of human cancers.
Stuart Kornfeld, James E. Rothman and Randy W. Schekman were awarded the E. B. Wilson Medal, the American Society for Cell Biology's highest honor, for their pioneering research on protein transport.
Kornfeld, co-director of the Division of Hematology at the Washington University School of Medicine, was noted by the selection committee as having been at the forefront of research in glycobiology, protein trafficking and metabolic disorders throughout a career spanning more than four decades.
The Selection Committee also recognized Rothman and Schekman as pioneers in the understanding of the molecular basis of protein transport through the secretory pathway and as internationally renowned leaders in cell biology. Rothman is chairman of the department of cell biology at the Yale University School of Medicine and Schekman is a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator as well as professor of cell and developmental biology at the University of California, Berkeley.
James R. (Jim) Mattoon of Loveland, Colo., passed away Dec. 24. He was 80.
Mattoon was born in 1930 in Loveland. He attended Colorado Agricultural and Mechanical College (now Colorado State University) and graduated from the University of Illinois in 1953. Mattoon received his Master of Science and doctorate in biochemistry degrees from the University of Wisconsin and taught at the University of Nebraska and the Johns Hopkins Medical School. He moved to Colorado Springs in 1979 to teach at the University of Colorado, where he remained until he retired.
Mattoon lived in both Mexico City and Rio de Janeiro, where he did further research and taught. He lectured in many places in the world, often in the local language, and supervised many foreign graduate and postdoctoral students. At the time of his retirement, Mattoon was teaching in the microbiology and genetics department of CU, Colorado Springs. He also was an accomplished pianist and tenor soloist in his younger years.

Vancouver's Draft Food Strategy: Blueprint for an edible city
VANCOUVER — The city's new food strategy depicts a high-density urban environment lush with edible landscaping, community vegetable gardens, green walls, rooftop greenhouses, farmers markets and thousands of green jobs based in a burgeoning local food economy.
City council intends the Vancouver of the near future to be a model system of just and sustainable locally-grown food, a city as pretty as it is delicious.
"People will be able to see the fruit of this plan everywhere, when they walk down the street, in schoolyards and community centres, you'll see it on empty lots and on vertical walls, farms that pick up and move from location to location," said Coun. Heather Deal. "Food will be grown everywhere."
We won't have to wait long to see how it all works out. Most of the 71 recommended actions in the new 150-page document being considered by council on Tuesday are designed to be achieved in the next seven years, by 2020.
"We are taking this gardening issue beyond the realm of hobby or avocation and bringing it firmly into the world of business, health, social justice and food security," said Deal, council's liaison to the city's community-based food policy advisory council. "By creating an integrated plan of action we are really making food central to all of our actions and policy decisions."
The draft report, titled What Feeds Us, depicts the local food system as a complete loop from food production, processing, storage, distribution and, finally, food waste collection for composting.
"The city is in some ways a food eco-system and we need to consider all aspects of that," said food policy council co-chair Brent Mansfield. "This document will make food visible and understandable to all the city's institutions and it describes what has to happen at every level across that eco-system."
Making food the centrepiece of a new green economy is a central element of the plan, which calls for the creation of a business incubator, with programs and spaces to encourage food business start-ups.
Jobs will be created as urban farming expands and as missing pieces of local food infrastructure are built, especially facilities for processing, distribution and retail, said Mansfield.
Vancouver Farmers Markets, the organization that runs the city's established neighbourhood farmers markets, has been pressing for the creation of a large indoor space that would house a year round farmers market and provide space for cooking, commercial processing and packaging called the New City Market.
That project appears to gain new traction with the release of the new draft strategy.
Council is riding tremendous momentum toward many of its goals. The number of farmers markets in Vancouver has doubled and more than 1,000 community garden plots have been created in the past three years.
Food can be a central element of citizen engagement and community building when neighbours share knowledge over garden space, care for the neighbourhood orchard or get together at the community centre kitchen to preserve their produce, Deal said.
Social entrepreneurs have already converted acres of asphalt in the Downtown Eastside to commercial growing space and established businesses have built high-tech vertical and hydroponic growing systems on rooftops and below ground.
"I love that I can see from my window our community garden, bees of the roof at city hall and that restaurants and hotels brag that they grow their own herbs on the roof," said Deal. "It just shows that the notion that you need acreage to grow food just isn't true and we have a climate that allows us to do it year round."
While the city can't tell landowners what to do with their property, it can get out of the way by adjusting zoning restrictions and bylaws for an industry that seems determined to grow from every crack in the sidewalk, Deal said.
Among the goals contained in the document:
— Add 13 new farmers markets, for a total of 22.
— Add 1,300 new community garden plots, for a total of 5,000.
— Double the number of urban farms in the city from 17 to 35.
— Encourage commercial growing in urban spaces and create a business license category for farms.
— Encourage edible landscaping and food-bearing trees on boulevards and traffic circles.
— Explore the creation of a processing, distribution and retail sales centre for locally grown foods.
— Establish procurement policies for schools and park concessions requiring a percentage of food served to be grown locally.
"These goals are all based on what we can control as a city," said Deal.
Mansfield is optimistic that the adoption of a comprehensive strategy to grow the local food sector and institutional buying policies will encourage profitability and help grow some of the hundreds of small local food-based businesses and start-ups.
The city is edging closer to a tipping point at which "local" graduates from fringe to "mainstream," Mansfield said.
The local food business is growing up like grass around the feet of the large corporations that control commercial food distribution and retailing, not unlike the explosive expansion of the craft brewing industry did in the shadow of the world's brewing giants.
"When the big guys start to realize there is a market for (locally grown food) they will start to change, just like beer companies did," he said.

Sharing a bottle of wine over dinner with your guy can be a romantic way to mark a special night. But, if you're the only one who wants to pop a bottle every now and then, well, your relationship might be headed for trouble.
According to new research by the Norwegian Institute of Public Health, couples who both had moderate alcohol habits were far less likely to split than those in which one was a heavy drinker. In fact, after looking at 20,000 married couples, the highest divorce rate—over 25 percent—was between couples where the husband was a light-drinker and the wife drank a lot more. Researchers say that this, in part, may have something to do with the fact that there's a bit of a double-standard at work here: Women who drink too much typically look unladylike in their husbands' eyes, while guys who overindulge are more likely to be excused by their wives. Which is kinda lame.
But, I actually have a bit of personal experience with this sort of thing, which makes me think this research is pretty legit: I once dated a guy in college who didn't drink. While he didn't make me feel guilty every time I ordered a glass of wine with dinner, he'd do other things like refuse to dance with me if I had a beer in my hand (which, okay, yeah, he didn't want me to spill on him, but come on). Eventually, I became super self-conscious every time I felt like having a drink, which wasn't so great for our relationship. While the alcohol issue wasn't what broke us up in the end, the way he reacted to me drinking every now and then was definitely a red flag for other issues to come.
So, from my perspective—and given this new research—it's pretty important to make sure your drinking habits line up when you're dating. While it might not seem like a big deal, how, when, and why you drink can actually have an impact on your day-to-day relationship.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- We've landed full force at MetLife Stadium.
With hours to go before the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks square off in Super Bowl XLVIII, our first takeaway is a hopeful one: It's downright balmy here.
Instead of wretched wind gusts and gray doom overhead, it's a manageable 42 degrees. If it sticks, this so-called cold-weather championship bout won't even be the chilliest in history. Remember, it was 39 degrees at kickoff in old Tulane Stadium when the Cowboys knocked off the Dolphins in Super Bowl VI.
For now, MetLife is shrouded in silence and mostly empty, save for the early-bird gang of media types clustered in the press box and a scattering of event staff down on the field. Speaking of the field, it appears to be in top-notch condition, with groundsmen continuing to groom the turf for what lies ahead.
Outside our cozy booth, the hallways and long corridors of the building are barren, but that won't last for long. The clock is ticking, bringing us closer still to an evening showdown that will settle the 2013 season once and for all.
Live from New York, it's the NFL "Around The League Podcast" Super Bowl Preview!

While young workers often need to work long hours for low incomes, navigation officers are keeping their sights on the sea, where starting salaries are twice and sometimes even three times higher than average incomes for young people.
The Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MOTC) yesterday released the names of those who had passed the seafarers' examination.
Previously, the exam was hosted by the Ministry of Examination and students in navigation and marine engineering who were still at school were barred from taking the exam.
This year, the exam was held by the MOTC, which lifted those restrictions. The results showed that 94 of the 385 examinees passed the exam. Among the successful entrants were 22 women.
Students still in school excelled in the exam this year, accounting for 75 percent of those who passed the exam for first-deck officer and 36 percent of those who passed the exam for first-class engineer officer.
Chi Wen-jong (祁文中), director-general of MOTC's Department of Aviation and Navigation, said students who are in school can now take the seafarers' exam as long as they finish the basic training as laid down by rules set out in the Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW) Convention.
The exam would allow those studying navigation or marine engineering to enter the job market for seafarers right away, Chi said.
Chi said the ministry was considering offering postgraduate degrees for those who had not studied navigation or relevant subjects while they were in school, but were interested in working at sea.
According to the National Chinese Seamen's Union, those passing the exam can start working as third-deck officers or third engineering officers with ocean-going shipping lines, where the starting wage ranges from NT$96,000 to NT$146,000 per month.
The union added that new industry entrants can climb up the career ladder to second or first-deck officer or second or first engineering officer with a simultaneous monthly increase as well.
A captain's monthly salary could range from between NT$246,000 to NT$265,000.
To follow the labor standards set out by the international STCW convention, seafarers are banned from working overtime, the union said.
Despite higher wages and better working conditions, the union said marine transport services were still about 6,000 workers short.
Maritime and Port Bureau Director General Li Juel-der (黎瑞德), who worked on a shipping line between 1977 and 1982, said he was promoted from third-deck officer to second-deck officer within one-and-a-half years. The money he earned during this period helped him buy his first house.
"If I had not switched my career to the public sector, I might have continued working on a ship and eventually become a captain," Li said. "I kind of missed the time working on a ship. The only thing was that it was a bit lonely."
For those eager to earn their first pot of gold after graduation, Li said that working on a ship may be one of the fastest ways to do so.
Jeng Yi (鄭怡), a captain at Yang Ming Marine Transport Corp, has been in the marine transport service since 1997. He said he has forgotten how much he made per month as a beginner.
"What I do remember is that I was on a ship for only one month, and the money I made during that month helped support my family for about four to six months," he said.

February 3, 1959, is often called "the day the music died" because of a plane crash that killed early rockers Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper. Although singer/songwriter Don McLean doesn't mention any of them by name, he immortalized the legendary trio with his epic song "American Pie."
McLean has stated that Holly "was the first and last person I ever really idolized as a kid." BR1 Holly was, in fact, McLean's inspiration for taking up the guitar in the first place. TB
McLean learned of the tragedy while folding newspapers for his paper route. WK McLean lamented that by 1964 Holly had been largely forgotten, but as McLean said, "I didn't forget him." TB In fact, he acknowledged that in writing the song's first verse, he "exorcised his long-running grief over Holly's death." WK
The song expresses a general theme about the death of idealism in the 1960s, BBC but its lyrics maintained enough ambiguity to inspire radio stations to devote entire shows to analyzing "American Pie." HL It has been amusingly suggested that one could "obtain a doctorate by writing on its hidden meaning." HL
McLean has done little to help in the interpretations, saying merely that it was an "attempt at an epic song about America and I used the imagery of music and politics to do that." KN
"American Pie" was an epic in more than just theme; its nearly eight-and-a-half minute running time meant that the song was split into two parts to fit on the 45 RPM single format of the day. Initially, some stations played only the first side, but as the song grew in popularity, stations succumbed to playing it in its entirety. WK
This song is featured in the DMDB book The Top 100 Songs of the Rock Era, 1954-1999.
- one of the top 1000 songs of all time
- Cash Box's Top 100 Songs, 1958-1996

Make a bad night sleep a thing of the past, stop snoring, waking yourself up at night, keeping your partner awake at night or just find your snoring embarrassing and want to stop, now you can with this remarkable stop snoring mouthpiece that makes it impossible for you to stop snoring, instantly stop snoring with this stop snoring mouthpiece, no longer will your partner be unable to sleep at night and your health suffer waking up constantly with the sound of your own snoring and all the inherent health risks of heavy snoring.
Heavy snorers have the choice of uncomfortable and sometimes painful medical breathing apparatus or even surgery to try and stop snoring, but with this unique mouthpiece youre be able to stop snoring instantly because the mouthpiece just wont let you snore, its as simple as that, the mouthguard does not need any special fitting by your dentist you simply put the mouthguard over your teeth (see stop snoring in leigh surrey) and your find it impossible to snore but still have a comfortable nights sleep and not even notice you are wearing the mouthguard, and your partner wont be kept awake or woken by your snoring, even if you chose an alternative like surgery which is not usually available on the NHS it can be dangerous and there is not always the guarantee it will stop your snoring anyway.
The mouthpiece moulds itself to the inside of your mouth for a comfortable fit thats unique to you, once in your mouth the mouthpiece causes your jaw to move slightly to open up your airway and prevent snoring as you can breath more easily, you get deep sleep maybe for the first-time in years and your family members will too, your health will improve and even your weight can reduce as you now wake fresh each day, at night the airways in your throat and mouth relax, this is good and enables you to have a refreshing sleep, but as you breath in and then out the soft tissues in the back of the throat can vibrate, this is what causes snoring and the reason some people suffer from snoring and others dont is because when some people sleep the airways narrow more than others.
In this article we'll touch upon stop snoring in gutcher shetland isles and stop snoring in knutsford cheshire together with stop snoring in kilbreedy county limerick along with stop snoring in hinwood shropshire with stop snoring in penrallt powys as well as stop snoring in muirhouses stirling and stop snoring in penpol cornwall including stop snoring in tunstead lancashire also stop snoring in rinneen county clare to stop snoring in leadendale staffordshire and stop snoring in yougha county cork and stop snoring in danemoor green norfolk with stop snoring in cearsiadair western isles plus stop snoring in felin crai powys and stop snoring in childwick bury hertfordshire.
Did you know that men are twice as likely to snore as women, and even then some people never snore and then all of a sudden start snoring and most people will snore at some point in their lives, with the stop snore mouthpiece not only will it instantly stop snoring but it will train your airways (check stop snoring in leigh surrey) and jaw to prevent snoring even when youre not using the mouthpiece, so over time your be able to sleep at night without the mouthpiece and still not snore, couples who have problems with their relationship cite snoring as a major contributing factor to their breakup, so you can quite literally save your marriage with this stop snoring gadget, snoring is not just a noisy bedtime problem it can cause serious health complications so its worth tackling straight away and training your airways to stop snoring naturally.
The medical name for the problem faced by snorers is snoring related sleep deprivation which basically means you physically cant fall into a deep sleep because of your own or your partners snoring, this means that your brain does not get a good nights sleep and your effectively always awake and never rested, at night when you sleep your body rests and repairs itself, if you dont get to rest because of your snoring then your body never repairs itself and your get ill from a whole host of other medical conditions that others would simply not suffer from but because of your snoring your making yourself more likely to get everything from simple colds and flus to chronic disease.
In deep sleep your bodies organs and tissue are repaired, your more likely to suffer from acne if you can get a good nights sleep, at night in deep sleep your immune system is recharged and your ready to fight another day, but if you never get to recharge because you never have a good nights sleep because of your own snoring or your partners snoring then your never repair your body and your always feel weak, tired and ill, many thousands of people have used this mouthpiece to stop their snoring, if you wake up in the morning feeling tired, drowsy, irritable or with a headache its probably due to your snoring and your lack of a good nights sleep, but these ill effects will be felt not just by you but your partner too.
We'll cover stop snoring in somerleyton suffolk and stop snoring in dunoon argyll and bute together with stop snoring in rhydd worcestershire along with stop snoring in hawkcombe somerset with stop snoring in potters marston leicestershire as well as stop snoring in cregrina powys and stop snoring in forest hill london including stop snoring in potmans heath kent also stop snoring in newbigging edinburgh to stop snoring in penpillick cornwall and stop snoring in skyborry green powys and stop snoring in aike north yorkshire with stop snoring in whatley somerset plus stop snoring in the stell north yorkshire and stop snoring in cullen county tipperary.
When you sleep fully you enter REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, thats when your brain performs its maintenance and repair keeping you healthy, if you cant enter REM sleep because your snoring prevents you having a deep sleep then youre be left nervous, anxious and with an increased risk of other neurological disorders, when you snore you wake up many times a night, not waking moments that your remember, but waking up for seconds and then drifting back to sleep, but the constant waking means you never enter a deep sleep and your body and brain never get to recharge, mend and recover from the day, so you wake up tired and with greater risk of illness as your body has not recovered from the day before, but your be unable to remember these brief waking moments because they were for mere seconds but enough to prevent deep sleep.
Long term sleep deprivation caused by snoring can leave you with a weakened immune system, constant tiredness, weight gain, headaches and a severe lack of energy, but this doesnt have to be the case, with the stop snoring mouthpiece you can simply insert into your mouth at night and not snore all night long, giving you and your partner respite from snoring for probably the first time in many years, loud snoring is a sign of what doctors call obstructive sleep apnoea which means that your airways become blocked and closed due to your snoring, when this happens you cant breath and the lack of oxygen causes you to wake up and then fall asleep again and repeat the process throughout the entire night, this is of course very dangerous that many times in one night you physically stop breathing.
A lack of sleep from sleep apnoea brought upon by snoring can leave you with slow reflexs and slow coordination and foggy thinking, that means if you drive a car or motorcycle or operate machinery at work you are running the risk of hurting (look at stop snoring in leigh surrey) and possibly killing yourself and others all because you snore at night, snoring leads to less oxygen in your blood caused by obstructive sleep apnoea and less oxygen in your blood causes high blood pressure and increased strain on your heart, which means youre more likely to have a heart attack, again all because you snore at night, so if you didnt think snoring was important and was just a bit of noise, now you know differently, but there is something you can do about it with the stop snoring mouthpiece which will prevent you from snoring and give you and your partner a quiet, restful and healthy nights sleep.
Also worth mentioning is stop snoring in new lane lancashire and stop snoring in fairfields gloucestershire together with stop snoring in longcot oxfordshire along with stop snoring in oughterside cumbria with stop snoring in tong kent as well as stop snoring in westley suffolk and stop snoring in garvock hill fife including stop snoring in newholm north yorkshire also stop snoring in westfield west yorkshire to stop snoring in glynllan glamorgan morgannwg and stop snoring in cockerton durham and stop snoring in hampton devon with stop snoring in rochester northumberland plus stop snoring in leavening north yorkshire and stop snoring in swanmore isle of wight.
A higher risk of a heart attack or stroke is not something to be taken lightly, if you have children you want to be able to see them grow up and provide for them and if that means you have to wear a mouthguard in bed at night then that is a small price to pay for your own health (see stop snoring in leigh surrey) and the wellbeing of your entire family, if you snore at night you are 5 times more likely to develop high blood pressure, strokes heart attacks, migraines, type two diabetes, weight gain and cholesterol, the stop sleeping mouthpiece ensures your airways are kept open at night and you continue to breath which means you wont make noise and you wont develop these snoring related diseases.
Doctors rate snoring into one of three different grades, grade one snoring is people who snore only occasionally but snore very loudly when they do snore, this snoring is unlikely to cause health problems but may keep your partner awake which means that whilst you may not have health problems because of your snoring you certainly will have relationship problems with your partner wanting to sleep in a different room or even divorce you, it may sound strange to think of divorce for snoring, but many separated couples cite snoring as a large contributory factor to the breakup, a stop snoring mouthpiece means your partner can get a good nights sleep and not be subject to all the health risks associated with sleep deprivation and you can get a good nights sleep too, leaving you relaxed for the day ahead, if you wake up tired, its your snoring that is more than likely the cause.
Worth noting is stop snoring in ardglass county down and stop snoring in great billing northamptonshire together with stop snoring in churchbridge cornwall along with stop snoring in the bar highland with stop snoring in upper dean devon as well as stop snoring in woodhead dumfries and galloway and stop snoring in calcotts green gloucestershire including stop snoring in emmer green berkshire also stop snoring in weston west yorkshire to stop snoring in upton merseyside and stop snoring in bartley green west midlands and stop snoring in onen monmouthshire sir fynwy with stop snoring in whitecraigs renfrewshire plus stop snoring in cherwell warwickshire and stop snoring in middlewood cheshire.
Grade two snoring is classified if you snore every night and its loud enough that people outside your bedroom door can hear you snore, during the day you suffer from extreme tiredness (see stop snoring in leigh surrey) and irritability all brought on by your lack of sleep and the tiredness and irritability is having a significant negative effect on you and your familys life. Theres a good chance that you also suffer from obstructive sleep apnoea where the airways close and you actually stop breathing at night risking severe medical conditions and a further deterioration in your health, with the stop snoring mouthpiece theres no need to suffer snoring and the ill health caused by snoring, simply wear the mouthpiece at night and give you and your partner a good nights sleep, you live longer, feel better and the whole family will benefit from a healthier and happier you.
With grade three snoring not only can people hear you snore outside your bedroom door but your snoring is loud enough to keep them awake at night even though they are sleeping in a different room, you are at real risk from obstructive sleep apnoea which will stop you breathing at night as well as type two diabetes and an increased risk of stroke and heart attack and worryingly sleep deprivation of family members due to your loud snoring can cause your family to have an increased risk of strokes, migraines, type two diabetes,, headaches, acne, increased weight gain and many other undesirably side effects all because they like you can not get a good nights sleep due to your snoring, just wearing a stop snoring mouthpiece can prevent all these problems for you and your whole family, why risk your own life and the life and happiness of your family all because you snore when now its really easy to do something about it, just wear the comfortable and convenient mouthpiece at night and the mouthpiece will hold your jaw slightly open so your airways remain free and unblocked, you wont suffer from sleep apnoea and you and the family will get a good nights sleep without your loud snoring.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., Sept. 27 (UPI) -- U.S. President Barack Obama's re-election campaign said Thursday is "Game Day in America," with early voting under way in dozens of states.
Campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters covering Obama's campaign trip to Virginia Beach, Va., the presidential race in that state is "very close. It's within the margin of error."
Some polls this week indicated Obama had a slight lead over Republican nominee Mitt Romney but Psaki said the Obama campaign plans to run "regardless of where the polls are in Virginia like we're five points behind."
"I will mention that, not in Virginia, but today early voting starts in Iowa, early voting is happening in dozens of states across the country," Psaki said. "It's Game Day in America -- that's not just a play on the [NFL] refs' resolution."
Psaki said the Obama campaign would focus on "making sure people know where to vote, how to vote; they can vote early at this stage in the race."
Obama told an estimated 7,000 people at a rally in Virginia Beach the country is "moving forward again" but "we're not where we need to be."
"And I won't pretend that getting there is easy," he said. "The truth is it's going to take a few more years to solve challenges that were building up over decades."
As Obama and Romney both campaigned in Virginia Thursday, Politico reported Romney intends to use the first of three debates with Obama as a platform to depict the president as untrustworthy.
The report said top Republicans, including political strategist and Wall Street Journal columnist Karl Rove, are signaling Romney will question Obama on truthfulness and on whether he has kept campaign promises.
Psaki told reporters Thursday Romney "and his team have a tendency to look at the president and make outrageous accusations about his truthfulness," but she said the Republican campaign has a "record of mistruths.
"If Mitt Romney were Pinocchio, his nose would be reaching from Virginia to Ohio, with the number of lies and untruths in the ads that his team has put out."
Romney told CBS News Wednesday the Obama campaign is engaging in "character assassination" and tries to "completely misrepresent my point of view."

text: Considered one of the foremost artists of the Renaissance period, Albrecht Dürer's extensive work in printmaking transformed the categorization of the medium from craft to fine art. Often depicting religious subjects, Dürer's woodcuts and engravings demonstrated unprecedented technical skill, tonal variation, and compositional sophistication. Dürer theorized extensively on linear perspective and anatomical proportion, concerns that were articulated in a vast body of written work as well as in his paintings and prints. Dürer's skill earned him the role of court artist for Holy Roman Emperors Maximilian I and Charles V, under whom he created a number of paintings and altarpieces. Dürer's series of self-portraits, created throughout his career, represent some of his most iconic works.

How to Store Account Information with Keychains
Your Mac OS X Snow Leopard account keychain stores all the username/password combinations for Web sites, file servers, File Transfer Protocol (FTP) servers, and the like, allowing you to simply waltz in and start using the service (whatever it is). Sounds handy, but you better watch your step.
Anyone can log on as you: If your keychain is unlocked, which happens automatically when you log in, all someone has to do is sit at your desk, visit a site or connect with a server, and bam! They're on. As you.
You'll forget your passwords: If the keychain file is corrupted, your passwords are lost. Either you've got them on paper hidden somewhere, they're on your recent backup, or it's time to change your online persona.
Keychains require yet another password: Your keychain can be locked (either manually or, with the right settings, automatically), and you have to remember yet another password/passphrase to unlock your keychain.
Anyone who's interested in maintaining a well-locked-down machine shouldn't use keychains. Unfortunately, Snow Leopard creates a keychain automatically for every user, so you have to monitor (and delete) your keychain data manually.
However, if you're the only person using your Mac and it resides in your home and you absolutely must use keychains, you can display them all for the current account from the Keychain Access application, conveniently located in Utilities within your Applications folder. Click the Category tab and then click an item in the keychain list to display or edit all its information.
Anyone can display and edit server and site information just by launching this application!
To help lock things down — at least when it comes to your Internet communications — follow this path:
Click the Passwords category (upper-left).
Your password information displays.
Click an Internet password to select it in the list and then click the lowercase i button at the bottom of the window.
Information on that password displays.
Click the Access Control tab.Select the Confirm before Allowing Access radio button.
These security items will help protect your passwords.
Select the Ask for Keychain Password check box.
Click the plus sign button at the bottom of the Keychain Access window to add a new password. Type a name for the item, the username that you typically type to gain access, and the password for that server or site. Then click Add and cross your fingers.
To display all the keychains you can access, choose Edit→Keychain List. To create a brand-new keychain, choose File→New Keychain. Mac OS X prompts you for the filename for your new keychain file. In the New Keychain dialog that appears, enter a catchy name in the Save As text box. By default, the keychain file is created in the Keychains folder, but if you want to store it elsewhere, click the down-arrow button next to the Where list box and navigate to the desired folder. When you're ready, click the Create button. Now you need to enter yet another password, type it again to verify it, and click OK.
To lock or unlock your login keychain, click the Lock icon at the top-left of the Keychain Access window. (Unlocking your keychain requires you to enter your login password. Go figure.)

EVERETT — Billy Corgan and the Smashing Pumpkins played Everett's Comcast Arena Wednesday.
The Smashing Pumpkins first made a big mark in 1993 with "Siamese Dream," their sophomore album, a multiplatinum critical sensation.
The group built on that success with a grandly ambitious double-album, 1995's "Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness," which sold twice as well and won the group its first Grammy.
Since then, the Pumpkins have had good years and bad. It has lost most of its founding members but has held on to a devout fanbase.
Today, the Pumpkins carry on under the steely eyed guidance of the group's mastermind, lead singer and lead guitarist Billy Corgan.
The Pumpkins played songs from "Oceania," its latest studio album, which has been praised as a return to form for the band. It debuted this summer at No. 4 on the Billboard 200.
The band performed in front of visuals created by Sean Evans, who worked on the huge, successful tour of "The Wall," recently completed by Pink Floyd's Roger Waters.

HARTSVILLE, S.C. – Coker's Chad Nader (Rock Hill, S.C.) laced a line drive up the middle, scoring Keith Wolf (O'Fallon, Ill.) and giving the Cobras a 6-5 victory over Paine College on Tuesday. The walk-off game-winner was Coker's second in as many games; both times Wolf scored the game-winning run.
After falling behind 2-0 early, the Cobras took a 4-2 lead after the sixth inning, only to fall behind 5-4 in the top of the eighth. Coker plated a run in the bottom half of the inning to tie the game at five and then Nader drove home Wolf in the ninth to take home the win.
Matt Bowan (Streator, Ill.) (1-0) earned the win with an inning and two-thirds of relief work, but the pitcher of the game was freshman John Lauttenbach (Norwalk, Conn.) In his first collegiate appearance, Lauttenbach shut the door on the Lion hitters allowing three runs on five hits with six strikeouts in six innings of work.
Nader finished the game with two RBIs, while Wolf had three hits including a double with a run scored. Jake Frazier (Indian Harbor Beach, Fla.) and Rob Quattrock (Holtsville, N.Y.) each drove in a run for the Cobras as well.
Coker returns to the diamond for a three-game series with Anderson University starting with a doubleheader on Saturday at noon.
McDonald's Player of the Game- Chad Nader
Nader drove in two of Coker's six runs, including the game-winner in the bottom of the ninth.
The McDonald's Player of the Game is presented by the Hartsville McDonald's and is given to the most outstanding performer during each Coker College home athletic event.

Description for Basil Greek
Basils are loaded with volatile oils, responsible for the heady aroma and strong flavour so essential to cooking. The composition of oils varies greatly in different basil types, thus accounting for the wide range of scents available. Large Leaf Italian basil is regarded as the essential variety for true Neapolitan cuisine, especially pesto.
Pick the extra large leaves and use fresh or dried in tomato dishes, pasta sauces, vegetables and soups. You can also use basil in the garden as a companion plant to repel aphids, mites, and tomato horn-worms.
Planting and care
Genovese grows as an Annual and is a Herb. Being an Annual, it tends to grow best over the course of a single year. Genovese is known for growing with a forb-like habit to a height of approximately 45.0 cm (that s 1.46 feet in imperial).
Italy is believed to be where Genovese originates from.
Genovese Basil is normally fairly low maintenance and quite easy to grow, as long as a level of basic care is provided throughout the year. Being aware of the basic soil, sun and water preferences will result in a happier and healthier plant.
Caring for Basil Greek
- Basil picked for use in the kitchen is best held in a glass of water at room temperature.
- Pinch the plant for making the bushy appearance.
- Watering should be done early in the morning if the soil feels dry to touch.
- Cut the dried and infected plant parts.
Typical uses of Basil Greek
Special features:
Culinary use: It is used to flavor soups, stews, tomato dishes, meat, game, fish, egg dishes, herb butter, and herb vinegar.
Medicinal use:
Healing: Sharpen memory, use as a nerve tonic, and remove phlegm from your bronchial tubes. Repeat up to once an hour. Leaves can strengthen the stomach and induce perfuse sweating. The seeds can be used to rid the body of excess mucus.
Fevers: Basil leaves are used for quenching fevers, especially those related to malaria and other infectious, eruptive fevers common to tropical areas. Boiling leaves with some cardamom in about two quarts of water, then mixed with sugar and milk, brings down temperature. An extract of basil leaves in fresh water should be given every 2 to 3 hours; between doses you can give sips of cold water. This method is especially effective for reducing fevers in children.
Coughs: Basil is an important ingredient in cough syrups and expectorants. It can also relieve mucus in asthma and bronchitis. Chewing on basil leaves can relieve colds and flu symptoms.
Sore Throat: Water boiled with basil leaves can be taken as a tonic or used as a gargle when you have a sore throat.
Respiratory Disorders: Boiling basil leaves with honey and ginger is useful for treating asthma, bronchitis, cough, cold, and influenza. Boiling the leaves, cloves, and sea salt in some water will give rapid relief of influenza. These combinations should be boiled in about two quarts of water until only half the water remains before they are taken.
Kidney Stones: Basil can be used to strengthen your kidneys. In cases of stones in your kidney, the juice of basil leaves mixed with honey and taken daily for 6 months will expel them through the urinary tract.
Heart Problems: Basil can be used to strengthen those weakened by heart disease. It can also reduce your cholesterol.
Children's Illnesses: Pediatric complaints like colds, coughs, fever, diarrhea, and vomiting have been know to respond to treatment with the juice of basil leaves. Also if the rash associated with chicken pox is delayed, basil leaves with saffron will bring them to the surface more quickly.
Stress: Basil leaves can be used as an anti-stress agent. Chewing 12 basil leaves twice a day can prevent stress. It will purify the blood and help prevent many other common ailments.
Mouth Infections: Chewing a few leaves twice daily can cure infections and ulcerations of the mouth.
Insect Bites: Basil can be used as preventative and as a curative. A teaspoonful of the basil leaf juice taken every few hours is preventative. Rubbing the bites with juice can relieve the itching and swelling. Also a paste of the root is effective for treating the bites of insects and leeches.
Skin Disorders: Basil juice applied directly to the effected area is good for ringworm and other common skin ailments. Some naturopaths have used it successfully in the treatment of leucoderma (patches of white or light-coloured skin).
Tooth Problems: Dry basil leaves in the sun and grind into powder for a tooth cleansing powder. You can also mix with mustard oil to make herbal toothpaste. Both of these methods will counter bad breath and can be used to massage the gums, treat pyorrhoea, and other dental health problems.
Headaches: Basil is a good headache remedy. Boil leaves in half a quart of water, cooking until half the liquid remains. Take a couple of teaspoons an hour with water to relieve your pain and swelling. You can also make a paste of basil leaves pounded with sandalwood to apply to your forehead to relieve headache and provide coolness in general.
Eye Disorders: Basil juice is a good for night-blindness and sore eyes. Two drops of black basil juice in each eye at bedtimes each day is soothing.

Billings at architectural firms were flat in July com pared to June levels, as firms dug in for the tradition ally slower summer season, according to the Work on the Boards survey conducted by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), Washington, D.C.
According to Kermit Baker, AIA's chief economist, inquiries for new work exhibited greater gains, as three in 10 firms reported that inquiries in July had increased from June levels, while almost six in 10 indicated that they had remained stable. Billings slowed from the growth pace of a year ago, while inquiries were accelerating at about the same pace as a year ago.
The Midwest and West remain the strongest regions for project activity, although billings growth is beginning to soften in both regions. Residential firms report healthy gains in billings, whereas both commercial/industrial and institutional firms report a slowdown.
The national economy was surprisingly strong in the second quarter. While most were expecting an easing compared to the first quarter, the GDP instead accelerated to a 5.2% annualized growth rate, up from 4.8% during the first quarter. The growing trade deficit - currently running in excess of $400 billion at an annual rate - was thought to be sufficient to offset most of the other growth engines in the economy. However, other sectors - particularly investment spending by businesses - continue to be unexpectedly strong. Business investment increased almost 20% at an annual rate during the second quarter, on the heels of a 21% gain during the first quarter.

Subscribe To Bruce Willis May Reunite With M. Night Shyamalan, But There's A Twist Updates
I've already subscribed
Following a string of commercial and critical disappointments, M. Night Shyamalan appears to be heading back to his roots.
The director is in negotiations to reteam with Bruce Willis on a project titled Labor of Love, according to Deadline. The script is one of Shyamalan's earliest works, and is being compared more to Shyamalan's Wide Awake then the supernatural storytelling he and Willis launched with The Sixth Sense.
Deadline says that Willis would play a Philadelphia book store owner who loses the love of his life in an accident. In the months following her death, the man fears that he never truly convinced his wife how much he loved her. So he embarks on a quest to walk across the country – from Philadelphia to Pacifica, California – to posthumously prove just how much he loved her.
You know, like Forrest Gump.
Now, news of Willis and Shyamalan reuniting probably has a lot of readers excited… until they find out that it isn't for an Unbreakable sequel. Night has been teasing the possibility of the next chapter in that fantastic superhero origin story for a while now. The ending of Unbreakable seemed to feed right into the creation of multiple movies built around Willis' character, probably involving Samuel L. Jackson's "Mr. Glass" character as his natural nemesis. Alas, that movie isn't happening. However, having the two men together on a set for Labor of Love could get them discussing the possibilities of an Unbreakable follow up. I mean, look at this conclusion! A sequel should have been inevitable:
Shyamalan likely is just hoping for a hit. The Last Airbender actually earned $131M back in 2010. But Night has struggled to match the success of The Sixth Sense, which banked $293M in 1999, and Signs in 2002 ($227M). Having him helm one of his own screenplays could be the key. Then again, he wrote After Earth and The Happening, and we know how they turned out.

How secure is your church building?
§ 235 § Distressing though it may be, the contemporary reality compels the Church to be mindful also of security issues for the church building. This is appropriate not only for the sake of securing items and treasures within the church building, but also equally important for the safety of the faithful. It is unfortunate that so many churches today must be locked, thus preventing the faithful from entering for prayer and meditation except for specific times. Investigation should be made regarding the possibility of securing the items inside the church in such a way as to allow the faithful greater access to this house of prayer.
Our building is open sixteen hours a day. Our recent fire was started intentionally at 10:30 in the evening. A person intent on making mischief will find a way to do it. But I agree with the bishops that reasonable precautions can be taken without losing a sense of welcome.
What are your parish's practices? And what are the surroundings that inform those practices?
