Hindu holy event yields health insights
Every 12 years in the Indian city of Allahabad, a religious festival takes place that is so fantastically crowded and celebratory that it puts Burning Man and the Coachella music festival to utter shame.
When the Maha Kumbh Mela - a Hindu holy event held at the intersection of the Ganges and Yamuna rivers - ends on Sunday, more than 80 million pilgrims will have visited the cramped tent city that has been built to accommodate them.
It is, literally, the largest human gathering in the world. And to U.S. researchers, including public health experts from UCSF, this year's event is also an unrivaled living lab.
"The insights we make go far beyond the Kumbh," said Dr. Dhruv Kazi, a UCSF cardiologist who spent several days collecting and analyzing data at the festival. "There are other dynamic populations that look the same - refugee camps, any mass gatherings. The goal of this whole enterprise is to inform public health about managing large crowds, and also disaster management."
The Maha Kumbh Mela dates back more than 2,000 years. Pilgrims travel from all over India and other parts of the world to bathe in the waters where the Ganges and Yamuna and a mythical third river, the Saraswati, meet.
30 million in camp
There are three especially auspicious days to bathe, and on the most important day - Feb. 10 - roughly 30 million people were in the camp, which was built on dry riverbeds less than half the size of San Francisco.
Because the event happens every 12 years - and smaller, similar festivals are held every three years in different cities - government officials have become adept at safely accommodating the pilgrims. This year, in the months leading up to the festival, crews built more than 100 miles of dirt roads, a full electrical grid, and 18 temporary bridges across the rivers.
They also built hospitals - 10 smaller facilities spread around the camp, and one central hospital with 100 beds and an intensive care unit. On the busiest days, clerks at the various hospitals would check in patients every two to three minutes.
It's an impressive system, but it has its flaws. The U.S. public health experts, led by researchers from Harvard University's Global Health Institute, were there to assess those weaknesses. They also collected data that ideally will be used to improve health and safety protocols at future Kumbh Melas - and, perhaps, similar festivals in the United States or disaster recovery centers after the next earthquake.
Real-time health data
Among the most important lessons learned from the festival - something the public health team picked up on even before processing all of its data - is that technology makes it possible to collect valid, real-time data on infectious diseases and other health issues during the chaos of a huge human gathering.
Researchers analyzing the data were able to spot small outbreaks of respiratory illness and diarrhea almost immediately, within hours of patients seeking medical care. They mapped the data and were constantly monitoring small bursts of disease activity in pockets around the camp that previously would have gone unnoticed.
The "staggering crowd ... repeatedly overwhelm the system," wrote Dr. Satchit Balsari, the Harvard public health scientist who led the team, in a blog posted about the study shortly after the largest bathing day. In less than a month of study, the team had collected data on more than 30,000 patients, he noted.
It was a major accomplishment, the scientists said, just to prove that so much data could be collected and processed, and so quickly.
"A few iPads and some Internet hotspots and we're set," Kazi said. "We were in the middle of this Kumbh and we had reliable Internet access. No cell phone access - the cell phone towers are clearly overwhelmed - but Internet access.
"The idea was, if could we do it, the government could do it. Any government could do it."
Already, even as the Kumbh winds down, the U.S. team has discovered surprising results in its public health surveys.
Important discoveries
Team members figured out early on that very few people seeking treatment received overnight care, so the inpatient beds were being vastly underused, while the outpatient clinics were almost always packed. In the future, Kumbh organizers may want to divert more resources to outpatient care.
The team also picked up on an early swarm of upper respiratory infections, but a surprising lack of diarrheal or other gastrointestinal disorders. Given so much of the festival involves direct contact with the river water, the public health experts had expected more of the latter.
But in hindsight, Kazi said, it makes sense that people would be developing coughs and colds instead.
"It was winter in northern India, the smog settles in the valley, 10 million people were cooking on open fires - in retrospect, of course that's what we would find," he said. "I remember crouching over my laptop looking at the data and I saw the trend, and I looked up and thought, 'Holy cow' - no pun intended - 'how did we miss this?' "
Similar real-time data collection could be useful in future global and domestic human gatherings - even events the size of Burning Man, which attracts about 50,000 visitors every year.
It's not unusual for U.S. doctors and scientists to apply lessons they've learned from global health research to American practices. Much of the protocols on treating HIV and AIDS in the United States came from studies done on large populations in Africa, for example.
Tracking via Twitter
And doctors studying outbreaks of cholera after the 2007 Haiti earthquake were among the first to tap into the power of Twitter and other social media for epidemiological tracking.
"Applying these newer technologies to rapidly changing health issues in a very small, very crowded area is crucial to mounting a proper response," said Dr. D. Scott Smith, chief of infectious disease and geographic medicine with Kaiser Permanente in Redwood City, who helped treat patients in Haiti after the earthquake.
"We've got a lot of things we can do to help people, but unless you have the data or knowledge of what's happening in the crowd, you can't respond promptly," Smith said. "Just getting people with this experience is really useful. It informs what we might do in a similar scenario."

The mechanisms of the improvement of glucose homeostasis through angiotensin receptor blockers are not fully elucidated in hypertensive patients. We investigated the effects of telmisartan on insulin signaling and glucose uptake in cultured myotubes and skeletal muscle from wild-type and muscle-specific peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor-δ knockout (MCK-PPARδ−/−) mice. Telmisartan increased PPARδ expression and activated PPARδ transcriptional activity in cultured C2C12 myotubes. In palmitate-induced insulin-resistant C2C12 myotubes, telmisartan enhanced insulin-stimulated Akt and Akt substrate of 160 kDa (AS160) phosphorylation as well as Glut4 translocation to the plasma membrane. These effects were inhibited by antagonizing PPARδ or phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase, but not by PPARγ and PPARα inhibition. Palmitate reducing the insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in C2C12 myotubes could be restored by telmisartan. In vivo experiments showed that telmisartan treatment reversed high-fat diet–induced insulin resistance and glucose intolerance in wild-type mice but not in MCK-PPARδ−/− mice. The protein levels of PPARδ, phospho-Akt, phospho-AS160, and Glut4 translocation to the plasma membrane in the skeletal muscle on insulin stimulation were reduced by high-fat diet and were restored by telmisartan administration in wild-type mice. These effects were absent in MCK-PPARδ−/− mice. These findings implicate PPARδ as a potential therapeutic target in the treatment of hypertensive subjects with insulin resistance.

Bret Michaels was scheduled to undergo surgery to close a hole in his heart Monday.
The Poison frontman and reality TV veteran will have the operation done at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix will perform the procedure. That's where he was treated last April for a brain hemorrhage.
"Barring any complications, I should be out within three to four days," Michaels, who lives in Scottsdale, Ariz., told the Arizona Republic. "Then, I will be down (resting) for three weeks. I don't know if I can sit around for that long, but I'll try my best."
U.S. & World
A closure device will be inserted into the 47-year-old "Celebrity Appretice" winner's heart where it will remain permanently to stop abnormal blood flow between the two chambers of the heart. The blood flow is believed to hasve caused a stroke last year, one of a series of health ailmets that afflicted the rocker.
Without the procedure, Michaels risks developing blood clots and an additional stroke, according to doctors.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – UMBC freshman Vincent Rentzsch (Oranienburg, Germany) set a new school record in the javelin as the UMBC track and field teams opened the outdoor season at the Florida State Relays, Friday at the Mike Long Track.
On his fifth throw of the event, Rentzsch recorded a throw of 58.83m (193'00") to break the UMBC school record and finish third in the competition. The freshman's mark breaks the previous record of 56.03m (183'10.00") set by Mike Harte back in 1999. With his throw, Rentzsch qualifies for the IC4A meet which will be held at Princeton in May.
Senior Amanda Deller (Aberdeen, Md./Aberdeen) and sophomore Thor Serafenas (Olney, Md./Good Gounsel/Clemson) also set personal-bests on the day competing in the hammer throw.
A three-time America East outdoor champion in the shot put, Deller posted a career-best throw of 47.19m (154'10.00") to finish third in the event and move up to third all-time in the UMBC record book. Serafenas also posted a new career-best with a throw of 54.85m (179'11.00") to place second in the Sunshine State and claim second in school history. He also qualified for the IC4A meet to be held in May.
Three-time America East 60m hurdle champion Trae Proctor (Brandywine, Md./Thomas Stone) opened his outdoor season by competing in the 110m hurdles. The senior finished seventh in the event with a time of 14.72.
After placing fifth in the 1,000m run at the indoor conference meet, freshman Andrew Keresztes (Port Jefferson, N.Y./Port Jefferson) started his first outdoor season by taking 26th in the 1,500m run in a time of 4:08.08.
For the women, junior Kirsten Jones (Brentwood, Tenn./M.L.K. Magnet) and sophomore Kalane' Abbey (Laurel, Md./Laurel) ran in the 400m dash placing 17th and 25th, respectively.
The Florida State Relays continue on Saturday with an array of track as well as field events.

Athletic Bilbao have no intention of selling Fernando Llorente in January
Athletic Bilbao plan to make Fernando Llorente see out the season in Spain, with a January transfer ruled out.
By Francisco Acedo
Last Updated: 18/12/12 5:50pm
The Spain international has been pushing for a move since the summer, with it his desire to take on a new challenge after spending his entire professional career to date with Bilbao.
He feels that he has given loyal service to the club, making over 300 appearances and netting over 100 goals.
A switch to the Premier League has been widely touted, with the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United said to be keen.
Llorente has been restricted to a bit-part role at Bilbao this season after conceding that he wants to move on, but the Primera Liga outfit are reluctant to sell and have no intention of discussing a deal during the winter transfer window.
"This player makes our team more competitive and his future will be decided by the club," said Bilbao president Josu Urrutia.
"At the moment we need to maintain the quality level within our squad, not reduce it.
"Llorente will stay with us until the end of the season."

BALTIMORE – The opening game of the UMBC Spring Classic has been postponed in the bottom of the fourth inning due to rain. Sacred Heart held a 2-0 advantage, but the Retrievers had a runner on second base with freshman Jaclyn Buckley (Voorhees, N.J./Eastern Camden Regional) up to bat with one out. Game two, which featured UMBC against Saint Peter's, was also postponed. Games will return to action at the UMBC Softball Stadium on Saturday, March 22.
Starting pitcher Jessica Holte (Ashland, Va./Atlee) got herself into a jam in the top of the second inning, loading the bases with no outs, but Holte was able to get freshman McKenna Wiegand to ground into a double play and junior Kacie Wentworth to ground out to end the scoreless frame.
Sacred Heart was able to get a pair on the board in the top of the third inning, leading off the frame with a walk and a single to put runners on first and second. A sacrifice bunt advanced both runners and a double to right center from senior Annie Dreher scored both runners and put SHU out in front, 2-0.
The Retrievers put a pair on base in the bottom half of the inning, as a Pioneers' error allowed Holte to reach and sophomore Danielle O'Neill (Lothian, Md./Southern) followed with an infield single, but UMBC was unable to capitalize, stranding both runners.
Junior Taylor Hall (Cosby, Va./Cosby) walked to lead off the fourth inning and a wild pitch allowed pinch runner Kathleen Sharp to advance to second.

Buckingham Palace Far from narrowly avoiding bombs in the Second World War, Buckingham Palace actually took nine direct hits. Even worse, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth were in at the time, and evaded death several times over. Thanks to lilivanili for the image Fortnum & Mason William Fortnum became a footman in Queen Anne's household in 1707. Thanks to aristocratic protocol dictating that candles should only be burned once, he would come home with bundles of nearly-new candles each day. He and his landlord, Hugh Mason, would then sell the candles at Mason's stall in St James' Market. This endeavour made them enough money to open a larger shop, which is today known as Fortnum & Mason. Thanks to londonmatt for the image Tower of London The Crown Jewels have always attracted unwanted attention and in 1671, a notorious rogue, Thomas Blood, nearly escaped with them. After charming the Keeper of the Regalia over a number of visits, he knocked him out one day and grabbed the jewels. But as he fled he was interrupted by the Keeper's son returning from military duty, captured, and taken before the King. Incredibly, and for unknown reasons, he was granted a full pardon. Some think he managed to win over the King with his wit, while others have speculated that the King himself commissioned the theft, being low on cash at the time. Thanks to googlisti for the image Hampton Court Palace Many of the Royal Palaces are said to be haunted and Hampton Court is no exception. One of its ghosts is thought to be Dame Sybil Penn, a servant to four Tudor monarchs. Sightings began in 1829, shortly after her stately tomb at nearby Hampton church was moved. Kensington Palace In 1737, King George II was robbed while out walking near Kensington Palace. However, while the assailant was armed, he was extremely polite and apologised to the King, explaining that he was a former soldier struggling to feed his family. The King was touched and handed over his rings, brooch and shoe buckles, and didn't call the guards. Windsor Castle Not just any castle, Windsor is the biggest and oldest castle in the world. It has been in continuous occupation for over 900 years, and has seen off numerous sieges throughout the centuries. In 1649 however, it came perilously close to ruin when a bill to demolish it was defeated in Parliament by just one vote! Thanks to thomasjleonard for the image Edinburgh Castle In Edinburgh Castle you'll find a Laird's Lug, as it's known in Scotland, or 'Lord's Ear'. It's a small, barred window in the Great Hall that King James IV could use to listen in on what his subjects were saying in the Great Hall. Thanks to craigyc for the image Sandringham House The site of today's Sandringham House, occupied since Elizabethan times, was cleared in 1770 for the construction of the elaborate Sandringham Hall. In 1862, Sandringham Hall was bought by Queen Victoria for her son the Prince of Wales – he deemed it too small however, and had it razed again so a larger building could be put in its place — today's Sandringham House. Thanks to karen_roe for the image Carisbrook Castle Carisbrook Castle's royal connection is a more sombre one, as it was here that Charles I was imprisoned during the Civil War. He attempted to escape, but failed after he became wedged in the bars of his cell. Tower of London The only time the Tower of London's defenses were breached was in 1381. It wasn't an assault by an invading army either. A mob of angry peasants stormed the tower during the Peasant's Revolt and executed the Lord Chancellor and the Lord Treasurer.

10 Surprising Facts about Britain's Royal Attractions

I think it's safe to say that whenever I start a sentence, "Mom and Dad, I've got something I need to tell you both," they brace themselves for just about anything that might come out of my mouth. My life has, if nothing else, been decorated with a few stunning, life-changing "plot twists," and those two special people have seen me through each one, no matter what.
I know what some of you must be thinking: Is this guy for real? He tells us he's got a loving partner, a stellar physician, a cute dog, has angels dropping in left and right, is strangely grateful to have HIV, and now wants us to believe that his parents are amazing as well?
Guess what? It's true. My Mom and Dad are the kind of people that I aspire to be like. For all the times I've "come out" to them, their love and support comes with zero conditions and believe me, I've put those two to the test.
It's hard for me to grasp that more than 22 years have passed since I told them I was gay. Granted, coming out of the closet is never easy, but in 1988, there was so much more stigma. At that time, if a man said "I'm gay," he also inferred that he either carried The Virus that guaranteed a painful, horrible death, or he had sex with men who did. There was absolutely no way he would ever be married to the one he wanted to share his life with, let alone have children.
Without the infinite possibilities of the Internet, it was actually quite easy to believe that you were a member of a tiny, margined part of society that included only perverse, lonely losers and celebrity role models like Liberace and Richard Simmons. Gay rights was still a new idea. Let's just say it wasn't the kind of life you would ever choose for yourself or for someone that you cared about.
I remember leaving their house that day, after dropping "the bomb," and thinking, "Did they get what I just said?" I mean, there were a few questions and a fair share of bewildered faces, but where were the yelling and crying and the speeches about eternal damnation I was fearful would follow such a revelation? That's because, I found out later, they were too stunned and honestly, they were more worried about me and concerned about my future happiness.
Exactly 20 years later, I was faced with telling them the one thing I hoped I never would: Their gay son was infected with HIV. I kept recalling the night five years earlier, during a visit from my Mom, when she and I watched six continuous hours of HBO's "Angels in America" on my sofa. As painful as it was for me, I can't imagine what it must have been like for her to view such a tragic work about men struck down in the prime of their lives, especially when the lead actor bore such resemblance to the man sitting next to her. Afterwards, there were so many things we tried to discuss; but as close as we are, AIDS was just too difficult.
I'm not going to tell you that I knew from the start that I would even tell them about my new status. In fact, it was only after I felt that I was going to be OK that I shared it with them. I know them well enough to know that if I was optimistic about my health and future that they would be too and in those first months, I just wasn't. But eventually, I knew that this dirty little secret I was carrying had to be pulled into the light if I was going to grow stronger. Who better to tell than the parents that have never given me reason not to?
Because of timing and distance, I told them I was positive over the phone. Then I gave them a condensed update about living with this disease in this century and assured them that I had both trusted support and a great doctor. Per usual, they were strong for me but admit today that it was one of the darkest days they ever experienced as parents. They are also quick to add that they've never once wished I hadn't shared this part of my life with them.
In the weeks after, because they didn't want to be any additional burden on me, they instead turned to their church and faith for support. They first joined a group and became involved with people with HIV to help them understand what I was going through. My Dad did his first AIDS Walk that year to do his part in finding a cure, and my Mom asked for a copy of my newest labs for Mother's Day that showed my improving immune system. But to top it all off, they recently "came out" to their fellow parishioners as parents of an LGBT person so they can teach others what they have learned. How fucking cool is that?!?!
I know most people feel if they disclose their HIV status, it will worry their loved ones needlessly. I respect that, but for me it was a lot like coming out of the closet. The job of education and providing correct information was my responsibility if I wanted them to understand my new status. I gave them Web sites like TheBody.com or Project Inform so they stayed current, and to prove that medical science has come a long way in the treatment of this disease.
Perhaps the trickiest part of disclosure or coming out is that, before we can explain it to someone else, we have to first examine our own beliefs and ask if the information we use to guide our own lives is current or something outdated that no longer serves us well.
So I ask ... What do you believe?

Place Your Bets
So the question is, which one will get rejected first? The one with the quicker procedures, or the one with the seven-week head start?
--Mr. Zero
12 comments:
Oh, come on. You know we're all hoping they'll both be accepted.
What you should ask is which will you get a response on first (accept, reject, revise and resubmit).
I think the odds are 50/50, because seven weeks is nothing compared to the total time you'll wait. I think you'll get one response in November, and the other in mid-2012.
Word Verification: spera. Hope it's sooner.
- April 15, 2011 at 9:26 AM
I know of a reliable method for predicting these matters, but it involves animal entrails and the casting of runes. Accurate to within 36 months!

You're going to get accepted by the quick one, and a R&R from the slowpokes.
Although it would help to know the journals. In my experience, there is no correlation between speed of processing and likelihood of rejection.
- April 15, 2011 at 10:33 AM
Fast, ANALYSIS, rejection...
Slow, MIND, rejection...
How's that?
Really, I hope that you get good comments and rejections, you make the papers better and you journal up and publish in better places IF that's possible. If not, then I hope they both make it now.
Good luck....
- April 15, 2011 at 10:39 AM
I don't have anything to say, but I so love my word verification that I have to report it:
Run with it.
(At least one will be an R&R.)
- April 15, 2011 at 2:32 PM
- Mr. Zero said...
Thanks for the words of encouragement. I am open to and hopeful for the possibility that one or the other of these papers will be accepted. I'm pretty proud of them both, and I would really love it if at least one of them would get accepted.
I predict that the "quick" one will have a decision by the middle of next week, and the one with the head start will take another four weeks.
- April 15, 2011 at 2:36 PM
Both rejected. You lose.

Random question for readers: I've noticed some people's CVs sporting a creative "invited talks" vs "submitted talks" or "peer-reviewed talks" or whatever distinction. It's pretty. I like it. I don't get it.
At first, I thought "ah, invited talks must be talks which one is invited to give without having to submit a paper/abstract." I noticed that some very recent PhDs had a few of those, and that surprised me, but whatever. Then I noticed that some of them were from conferences to which I've submitted papers/abstracts. Now I know the people in question weren't keynote speakers, so I am puzzled. Is there a sense of "invited" here that I'm unfamiliar with? Is it a language game familiar to others?
Oh, and my word is "citur." As in, a mystical creature with the lower body of a man and the upper body of a horse. And the flavor of a lemon.

"Random question for readers: I've noticed some people's CVs sporting a creative "invited talks" vs "submitted talks" or "peer-reviewed talks" or whatever distinction. It's pretty. I like it. I don't get it."
Some tenure committees make a distinction between peer-reviewed talks, i.e. talks in which your abstract or paper was (blind) reviewed by your peers and invited talks in which someone you know asked you to be on a panel or to comment on a paper.
As a result, many folks differentiate between these types of talks on their CVs.

"Some tenure committees make a distinction between peer-reviewed talks, i.e. talks in which your abstract or paper was (blind) reviewed by your peers and invited talks in which someone you know asked you to be on a panel or to comment on a paper."
I get that. This is the source of the confusion: I've seen people list under "invited talks" conferences that only have (1) keynote speakers, (2) submissions, and (3) commentators. But they are neither keynote speakers nor commentators. So either some major conferences are secretly inviting people, or "invited" means something besides what it seems to mean.
Oh, and my word is "twelat," as in, "I think it is inappropriate to make your impressionable students sit through one of those twelat movies."

Invited vs. submitted:
Could some be listing, under the first heading, talks they have been invited (i.e. accepted) to give following a submission, while using the latter to mean 'under review' (i.e. submitted but not (yet) accepted)?

I'm a little teed off that as a subscriber, I didn't get this or the Mekaneck emails. And yes, I checked my spam folder.
Great looking figure!
Strange that they have the same wrong formatting in the email's headline. They should have fixed that after they made the same mistake in the Mekaneck sneak peak email.
Awesome sticker included!
Well, it was mentioned that he appears in the final mini-comic. So here he is.
It's nice. I just wish that Scott weren't so predictable. NA Skeketor would have been way more exciting.
I hope the dragon can stand on his own.

Am getting quite annoyed with Mattel now, and I'm usually a sympathiser/apologist!!!
This is the 2nd sneak peek e-mail that I'm supposed to get being a subscriber, and the 2nd one I HAVE NOT RECIEVED!
Add to that the cancellation of my Spector figure, and the automated responses when I try and find out why, and I've got to ask, what's the point of me subscribing if I don't get any of the benefits?

I've just changed my profile picture because we got Geldor in MOTUC!
Te figure is awesome!!
But...the dragon head is a bit off, it reminds me to "the mask" dog
just kidding!
What a great surprise! Love the updated boots and forearms. Both are easy for purists to replace (unlike the Stinkor forearms). Great sculpt on the dragon backpack's head too! Couldn't be happier with this selection for the third quarter variant.

DB Skeli has always been a favourite of mine, so I'm overly delighted to learn that he's coming this year already!!
Well done, Mattel!!
wow! that's just awesome! i asked on one of the questions-and-answers-rounds if they would use Kobra Khan's "reptile" buck for a toy accurate Dragon Blaster Skeletor (i don't know if they read it) - and here he is! a dream come true.
i just hope he has the normal torso (with belly) underneath, so i can use him as my default skeletor!

I don't like the dragon face.
Super Thrilled to see DB Skeletor!! Only thing I'm not jazzed about is the dragon's mouth is a little 'toothy', but otherwise, the whole figure is pretty much perfect.
I wonder if the Dragon's tail being so far off the armor is meant to balance Skeletor so he won't fall backward?
Where's the rest of the Vintage New Adventures?
MOTUC wants: KAYO, Hoove, Chef Allen, Catra variants, Starburst She-Ra, Hunga the Harpy

There has never been a more exciting time in biomedical research. Given all of the tools and information currently available, questions can be tackled in ways that simply were unthinkable in the not-too-distant past. Yet many researchers are more frustrated than ever and stymied in their ability to carry out exciting and important research. I receive e-mails on a regular basis from members who receive 10th percentile ratings on grant applications but are unable to obtain funding for their highly regarded and important research.
In the past, I have been somewhat reluctant to discuss this problem, because I didn't want to discourage our researchers-in-training. If faculty members at the top institutions are struggling to support their laboratories, how might students ever hope to compete? In the past, funding challenges were temporary, and therefore downplaying the challenge seemed justified. The current financial situation changes the equation; the fallout from the economic downturn has had major consequences for most scientists both in academia and in the pharmaceutical industry, and different countries (and companies) are responding in different ways.
"We must do more with existing research dollars, and all of us must be willing to make sacrifices to help make this happen."
On Feb. 19, the U.S. House of Representatives voted in support of a Continuing Resolution (H.R. 1) to fund the federal government for the remainder of the 2011 fiscal year while cutting spending by more than $100 billion from the president's fiscal year 2011 request, thus making the largest single discretionary spending reduction in the history of Congress. This legislation includes a $1.6 billion cut (5.2 percent) in National Institutes of Health funding from the 2010 level, reducing its budget to the 2008 funding level, and a $359 million cut in funding for the National Science Foundation from the 2010 level. If enacted, the entire cut would have to be absorbed in the remaining months of fiscal year 2011, significantly intensifying the impact of the reduction. At the same time, the president outlined his budget for fiscal year 2012, which includes a 3.4 percent increase in funding at the NIH over 2010 enacted levels. The Senate rejected the massive cuts proposed by the House, forcing Congress to pass several short-term continuing resolutions, thankfully steering clear of drastic cuts to NIH and NSF budgets.
Of important note is the fact that during the debate on H.R. 1, several congressional representatives proposed an amendment in support of the NIH. Although this amendment did not make it to the floor for a vote, Reps. Edward Markey, D-Mass.; Janice Schakowsky, D-Ill.; Joe Courtney, D-Conn.; Brian Higgins, D-N.Y.; Rush Holt, D-N.J., and Susan Davis, D-Calif., deserve our heartfelt thanks for introducing an amendment (213) to H.R. 1 to restore funding to the NIH. If you haven't done so already, please contact your senators and representatives and help them understand the importance of research funding in your home state and district; thank them for their continued support. Cures will require additional basic research, and research dollars bring jobs and economic benefits significantly beyond their actual cost.
In an excellent recent column in the New Yorker, James Surowiecki noted that while President Obama understood that the government needed to cut excessive expenditures (and thus called for a five-year freeze on domestic spending), he also called for sharp increases in investments in infrastructure, education and new technology, which will cost many billions of dollars.
Surowiecki wrote, "Instead of trying to stimulate short-term demand, the plan seeks to improve our long-term growth rate by boosting supply: increasing the pace of innovation, and making workers more productive and commerce more efficient … Why do this when Washington is obsessed with tightening its belt? Because spending on infrastructure, R. & D., and education has the potential to create more value than it costs. The return on investment from the building of the Interstate Highway System in the nineteen-fifties and sixties has been estimated at thirty-five per cent annually. The economists Kevin Murphy and Robert Topel have suggested that the social benefits of medical research reach into the trillions of dollars. And investments in military technology during the original Sputnik moment gave us, among other things, satellites, the microchip, G.P.S., and the Internet, the cumulative benefits of which are incalculable … At the moment, we're spending too much on things that consume resources—like the military and earmarks—and not enough on things that create them." I could not agree more.
Disaster insurance?
BY SUZANNE PFEFFERI just learned of a new faculty member at Sendai University in Japan, whose family and home are both safe but whose very expensive microscopes were destroyed in the recent earthquake. My own lab sustained damage in the Loma Prieta earthquake of 1989 – luckily nothing too major. Double water-jacketed tissue culture incubators toppled over, but we worked with those very dented (but still functional) units for twenty years after. Centrifuges and -80°C freezers waltzed away from the walls – now they all are secured to the walls with wires; glassware cabinets now have strong hinges and chemical shelves all require lips. Who pays when expensive equipment is lost? Although some relief funding was made available, institutions often are shouldered with the responsibility to insure, and most of them "self-insure." For me, that meant that no new funds were available to replace damaged incubators. Now seems like an important time to re-evaluate how we protect our laboratories from natural disasters, as we watch the recovery just beginning in Japan.
It is unlikely that we will see significant increases in overall funding in the near future, and we will need to fight hard just to maintain current support. If outstanding research projects are going unpaid, we must do more with existing research dollars, and all of us must be willing to make sacrifices to help make this happen. This is a time to call on the leadership of all funding organizations to make budget allocations as transparent as possible. What review processes are in place to ensure scientists (and taxpayers) that the dollars already allocated are yielding maximal value and benefit? Are we doing enough to ensure rigorous review of all current intra- and extramural NIH and NSF-supported programs?
Bruce Alberts has written recently about the dependency of many institutions on NIH indirect costs to support construction of ever-growing research enterprises. Such growth is not sustainable, and Alberts has proposed a phase-in solution whereby institutions will eventually need to cover half of all investigator salaries. Alternatively, the NIH could negotiate with individual institutions the number of soft money positions that can be accommodated. Alberts wrote, "Regardless of mechanism, here is my bottom line: A new NIH policy must make it unambiguously clear that expansion through laboratory building and construction requires a substantial, non-reimbursable, long term commitment of resources, including 'hard-money' faculty support, by any institution that wants to increase its facilities and research staff." To help current dollars go farther, others have proposed caps on indirect cost rates, either per grant awarded or per investigator, and caps on dollars awarded to a single investigator.
My personal hope is that action be taken soon that is preferably merit-based and as fair as possible to all investigators and institutions. We cannot wait much longer to take action, and all of us need to think hard about how to get the most bang for the currently available research bucks. As Alberts put it, "Although change will be painful, it is urgently needed to maintain a healthy biomedical research enterprise."

This ministry began in 1997 as a call by God to use the internet to make disciples of Jesus Christ; and to encourage believers in Jesus with inspired teachings from the Holy Bible. This is what we do in addition to missions work in Asia.
Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen. (Matthew 28:18-20)

The head of the Secret Intelligence Service, where James Bond works, has returned from the dead.
Played by Judi Dench, M was killed off in the most recent Bond adventure, "Skyfall." But Dench resurrected the character in a video released Thursday as part of the Weinstein Co.'s appeal to the Motion Picture Association of America to change the rating of Dench's latest starring vehicle, "Philomena."
The MPAA has given the film an R rating for language, but the Weinstein Co. wants it changed to PG-13. Company co-founder Harvey Weinstein appeared on "CBS This Morning" on Thursday to discuss his fight with the ratings organization.
He previously battled the MPAA over the rating for the 2011 documentary "Bully" and the title of "The Butler" this year, which became "Lee Daniels' The Butler."
Weinstein introduced the Dench video, which shows the actress in M's office, saying, "Just when you thought I was dead." She then appears to send an agent on a mission, asking, "Are you familiar with MPAA?"
"Philomena" is set for release this month.

Oh, America. Oh, how I'm disappointed in you. The new "Karate Kid" movie destroyed at the box office this weekend. And while that's very nice, given that the movie got decent critical reviews, you people are only encouraging Hollywood. You just handed them a freshly laminated license to remake every classic 80's movie you hold dear. Welcome to the new Hollywood business cycle. It now involves remaking the same 100 movies every 20 years. And now that "The Karate Kid" has proven that model effective, you can now expect the following 80's remakes to land at your door any day now. Why, they could even remake CADDYSHACK! What's that? They did already? YOU SEE WHERE THIS IS GOING?!
ET: Oh, you think they can't remake ET? They CAN. They can have Justin Bieber play Elliott and have him and the CGI-produced ET go soaring through the sky on a magic Razor Scooter.
A Christmas Story: It'll be just like the original you know and love, only this time it will star Suri Cruise and she'll spend 90 minutes pining for a 4th-generation iPhone to go with her iPad. And she'll totally get it when he daddy points out a mysterious gift hidden behind the family's altar to Xenu.
Raging Bull: Robert Pattinson gains 90 pounds for the role. That just makes him more dreamily unattainable!
Die Hard: At some point after Die Hard 5 is made, the studio will demand Bruce Willis pass the baton to a new generation of grumpy New York cop who gets caught with terrorists in tight spaces. That new generation? You guessed it: Jaden Smith. Think of John McClane, rastified by 40%.
Fast Times At Ridgemont High: With Dax Shepard as Spicoli! You tell me that's not a huge upgrade over Sean Penn! Also, this version will be PG-13 and won't feature Phoebe Cates' breasts. Not good.
Scarface: It'll be a shot-for-shot remake, just like Van Sant's "Psycho". For you see, people like old movies. They just don't like the fact that they're so old. Which is why you need to redo them with different actors, and perhaps give Tony's sister a Brazilian wax this time around.
Tootsie: With Seth Rogen. Because there are still people in the flyover states who find a man in drag to be CRAZY.
Ferris Bueller's Day Off: It's happening. You know it is. All the picketing on Earth won't stop them from casting one of the dudes from "Gossip Girl" in the title role. Also, the parade song will be changed to "Walk This Way." You will have moved to Argentina by the time this is all made official.
Back To The Future: And this time, Marty goes BACK to 1985. And that'll totally screw with your head, especially when his mom hits on him.
Gandhi: Okay, maybe not "Gandhi." Still, this is what you have wrought, ticket-buying citizens of the US. Hollywood now knows it can desecrate your childhood and get your kids to like inferior versions of the movies you treasure. This is yet another spill that cannot be capped.

I think we can all agree that the cliche, "no pain, no gain," is a fundamental truth. When we experience physical pain in the gym, we gain muscles and stamina. When we endure hardship and sacrifice in order to succeed, we gain a feeling of satisfaction and achievement, not to mention financial rewards. When we truly embrace emotional pain, we gain compassion for the suffering of others, an appreciation for the fleeting nature of things, as well as wisdom and spiritual humility. Every act of birth is an act of pain. Our very lives are sustained by the suffering and death of plants and animals, who in turn are sustained by other organisms having a very bad day. That being said, I think we can also agree that this system sucks and needs to be seriously re-jiggered. Now I'm not saying I have a better approach than this pain/gain thing that's been in place for millions of years -- but that doesn't mean we couldn't start tossing around some ideas. For instance, why couldn't an infrastructure for life be developed around the theme, "no dream, no gain?" Sounds like heaven, right? Or is dreaming too easy? Would life quickly become complacent and cease to gain? But then, is gain really that critical? Or is gain the whole point? Is the fact that life exists at all proof that God or the universe hates complacency? It certainly explains why aboriginal people are constantly being murdered for the sake of "progress." It even explains why HBO went down the toilet.

Originating in Glasgow, Boteco Do Brasil is a new, vibrant restaurant and bar in Edinburgh, bringing a taste of Brazil to the capital's diners. Located on Lothian Street in the Old Town, Boteco Do Brasil is home to a wide range of traditional dishes, unique cocktails and bright decor. With a large tapas and a la carte menu, visitors can sample the true taste of Brazil and enjoy Brazilian music in the evening, which creates an exciting carnival buzz.
The a la carte menu in Boteco Do Brasil features pizzas made popular in the sister restaurant in Glasgow. The tropicana and Boteco pizzas are noticeably different but equally impressive – the former is made with pineapple, mango and ham and the latter with spicy chicken and red onion. Mains like feijoada (a Brazilian stew with black beans, pork ribs, smoked bacon, salt beef and smoked sausage), and the traditional Sunday lunch of Brazilians, the churrasquinho variado (a Brazilian mix grill BBQ with salad) are a hit with meat lovers.
Some of Boteco Do Brasil's homemade tapas dishes heavily feature meat, for example the coxinha de frango (soft potato dough filled with chicken) and the carne de sol (seasoned strips of beef served with cassava), whereas options such as the salada native (mixed green leaves with fresh tropical fruit) and the salad caprese (made with fresh buffalo mozzarella, tomatoes & basil) offer a healthy alternative.
Boteco Do Brasil is in a prime setting on Lothian Street, close to the popular George Square and a short fifteen minute walk to Edinburgh Waverley rail station. There are several bus routes heading out of the Old Town area, and taxi ranks are located nearby.
Boteco do Brasil is bringing some Latin sizzle to the capital.

March 7, 2009
Loyola Marymount Head Coach Julie Wilhoit
Opening Statement:
The win was much needed for us; the last couple of weeks have obviously been a struggle. I think the biggest thing I want to say in terms about how excited I am about the win and about moving on is what a fantastic job the WCC has done in bringing us here to Vegas and bringing this tournament to a neutral site.
On the win against Santa Clara and rematch against Gonzaga:
Well I love the win and I love that the win that takes us to Gonzaga. For me as a coach I would like to see them in the second game rather than in our third game.
Sophomore Guard Renahy Young
About performance today:
Do I think it is one of my best games? Definitely. I think I was in the zone I guess you would call it. I wasn't thinking too much. I was thinking just enough I feel. I really want to get to the championship game and I know our team really wants to get to the championship game and win the whole thing. That is what is driving me right now, just wanting to win.
Senior Guard Cassady Moore
On this game potentially being her last:
I have had a great season and hopefully that continues; I just want to win. I really didn't think about it being my last game seriously. My last game hopefully is the championship game if it's going to be my last game.
Santa Clara Head Coach Jennifer Mountain
Opening statement:
We have got to tip our hats to LMU for their effort. I thought our kids battled the entire game. Looking at the stats sheet and watching the game, it really came down to rebounding. We can't give up 17 offensive boards and expect to be in the game at the end.
Looking forward to next season, after yesterday's win:
I think for the kids coming back, you want to look at the positive. And there is a lot of positive. There is more than a win and loss record that you need to gauge yourself on. Yesterday was a complete effort and full 40-minute game where we put everything together.
Senior Guard Sara Majors
On her career-high performance and last game as a Bronco:
I think we just came into this tournament saying this game could be our last game every game.
Sophomore Forward Lena Gipson
On how much this game was sadness and relief:
Personally I wish we could have gone on longer. Just to further prove to people that how well we actually can play.

Untypical rancher : a real steal, despite the Bypass
ADDRESS: 626 Watson Ave.
NEIGHBORHOOD: Park Street
SIZE: 1,902 fin. sq. ft., 240 unfin.
LAND: 0.31 acres
CURB APPEAL: 7.5 out of 10
LISTED BY: Paul Muhlberger of Real Estate III, 977-3033
This house looks like a landscaper's pride and joy, and it should, since that is the profession of the current owner.
Possibly most impressive are the fences enclosing the large backyard. Most of the several hundred feet of six-foot-high fence is made of vertical boards butted tight together, with a handsome "tooth" design along the top edge. The tall fence works well to buffer the noise of the 250 Bypass less than 150 feet from the back door.
Handsome, well-proportioned plantings surround the house and dot the front and back yards, gussying-up an otherwise bland exterior. The large back yard is divided roughly down the middle, with grass on one half and a good-sized concrete basketball court/work area on the other. The owner has also tucked a small storage shed next to the fence. Open-air eaves prevent it from getting hot or collecting moisture, but the generous roof overhang protects the inside from the elements.
A number of neat touches distinguish this house from a typical rancher. The main level is raised well above ground so the basement is only half subterranean, creating the potential for dry living space. The windows are arranged in modernist groupings that are both handsome from the exterior and provide excellent light inside.
This isn't a large house, and the rooms are all on the small side. The two main-level bedrooms share a single bathroom. A new owner who wanted one larger bedroom could combine one of them with an adjacent small space that had served as a dining room/breakfast area, but is now serving as a baby's room.
The humble kitchen is squeezed between two larger "showcase" rooms, each with a handsome fireplace. The current owners use one as a dining room and one as a family room. That's the extent of the first floor.
But there are a nice details throughout. Golden-red heart pine with a clear finish has been used extensively for trim, for one mantle, and for pretty interior wooden shutters on many of the windows. Knotty pine paneling covering all the walls in the living room (along with the oak floor throughout the house) might be too much dark wood for one room, but a large bank of windows next to the front door admit plenty of light, which helps the space feel cheerful and airy.
The kitchen is small but well designed. Stainless steel and black appliances complement white cabinets and blond wood surfaces. An unusual Ikea upper cabinet with a garage-door-style opening guarantees at least one thing that few if any other local houses can boast.
The basement has seen a lot of improvements under the current owners, and because it's dry, it could become excellent living space with a few more upgrades. The one bedroom has a curtained-off corner serving as a storage area that should be replaced with a real closet or a wardrobe. The main room is big enough to become a family room, especially with removal of sliding, rotating wooden panels demarcating one end of the room. Since the panels all hang from a single track, they would be a cinch to jettison.
The owners have added a full bathroom down here, but the walls need a new finish– like tile. Currently, the walls are covered with cement-like "quik-set," and the ridged and roughened surface of the rock-hard medium could cut a passersby who brushes against it.
This house has one other major safety issue. The stairs to the basement are much steeper than the standard angle with scary shallow treads and dangerously low headroom. Rebuilding the staircase would seem to be an immediate necessity, and that might mean having to do some semi-major work to increase the headroom to achieve the required slope.
Aside from those two issues, this house reflects the labor the current owner has invested. A new owner will be the beneficiary of his professional improvements– the fence, the shed, the yard, and the basement. With some more work in the basement, the whole place could be as attractive as the inviting first floor, making the house a steal at the current asking price, even considering its proximity to the Bypass.

text: Joshy #1 Posted August 14, 2017 I believe Littlefinger's ultimate game is to marry Sansa and politically maneuver her into a position of power for his own gain. To accomplish this, he seems to by trying to break apart House Stark from within. His every move appears to have the purpose of driving a wedge between the brothers and sisters. First, there is the fact that he has obviously been manipulating the lords of the north in secret to plant doubts in their minds about Jon Snow. He wants them to declare Sansa the Queen in the North and has been whispering plots in their ears in private. And then there is the note. Obviously, Littlefinger intended for Arya to find it, and I believe he intends to use it to drive a wedge between Arya and Sansa. If you recall, he grinned wickedly when he saw Sansa's reaction to Arya training with Brienne. I think he noticed a vulnerable point in the unity of House Stark in the form of a weak bond between the sisters. He is playing a dangerous game, and he is doing so from within a den of wolves, but he is still a political mastermind, and could very well be dangerous for House Stark if they don't stop him.

Google raises ante in browser wars with its new Chrome 12
Strong competition is good for the consumer. In the heavily fought browser wars, Firefox 4 has been closing the gap with current industry leader Internet Explorer, partially since the new and improved IE 9 is incompatible with Windows XP while Firefox 4 will run on almost all platforms. Also in the race for browser supremacy is Google, which recently released version 12 of its popular Chrome browser. Chrome has developed a large and loyal following, and many have sworn off (and swear at) Internet Explorer, and to a lesser extent, Firefox.
With Internet Explorer factory installed on all Windows computers in the U.S., it has a built in near-monopoly status with new users, and those users who are unaware or unwilling to try a new browser. But since so many users of all experience levels use Google, it is inevitable that many of them have seen the advertising for Google's entry in the crowded browser field, and many of those have downloaded Google's Chrome browser. As with almost all other browsers available, Google is free to download and use.
But why Chrome? The answer is that it is free, will not interfere with any other installed browsers, runs on all recent versions of Windows, installs quickly, is arguably one of the fastest browsers when it comes to displaying Web pages, offers search direct from the address bar, and has thousands of third-party applications (known as "apps") available to customize the browser.
A warning about the install process may be in order. On the download page for Chrome are a pair of checkboxes that the user needs to be aware of. One checkbox, if checked, will make Chrome the default browser, meaning that Chrome will be opened automatically if a browser is called from the computer or an application. Another checkbox says, "Help make Google Chrome better by automatically sending usage statistics and crash reports to Google." While the usage statistic reports are relatively safe in terms of personal privacy because no personal information is collected, a crash report that is automatically sent to Google may contain personal information.
Google explains this: "Usage statistics contain aggregated information such as preferences, button clicks, and memory usage. It does not include Web page URLs or any personal information. Crash reports contain system information at the time of the crash, and may contain Web page URLs or personal information, depending on what was happening at the time of the crash." My personal choice is to not check either of the boxes, as it is easy to reconfigure the "Options" in Chrome after it is installed. One minor issue occurred when installing Chrome. It attempted to place a "Google Updater" in my start-up list, which would have run the update utility whenever the computer was booted. Most users will never notice the slight drag on boot time and performance that Google Updater causes, and it will keep Chrome (and any other installed Google products) up to date. My preference is to minimize any programs that load at boot, and to manually check for updates.
In my experience, the browser is the most commonly used program on the computer, and a good, fast browser can really enhance the computing experience. Chrome can fill that need. Both the published speed comparisons and my own experiences have demonstrated that Chrome is much faster at displaying Web pages than Internet Explorer. Chrome loads quickly, much faster than Internet Explorer, as it is a smaller footprint to load. Web based applications (apps) also load and run faster on Chrome than IE. Also, Chrome offers very good protection from many of the forms of Web attack. Chrome utilizes what is called a "sandbox," or a mini-virtual computer and virtual hard drive to open Web pages or run many Web based apps, such that most potential malware carried by Web sites or online apps will not take over the computer. The Chrome "Safe Browsing" feature warns against Web sites that may contain malware, or are suspected phishing (identity theft) Web sites. If such a Web site is detected, the browser window turns red and posts a stern warning about the Web site. Chrome has one of the cleanest, uncluttered desktops in the browser industry; almost all of the desktop is available to display Web content. While most other browsers have one box for Internet addresses (URLs) and another box for searches, Chrome utilizes a single bar that serves both functions.
Google offers the "Chrome Web Store" where there are thousands of both free and paid applications, themes and extensions for Chrome. Extensions are small utilities that work with Chrome to enhance its functionality or add additional features. There are hundreds of "Themes" that can be used to change the appearance of Chrome. One of the most popular, "Porsche," has been downloaded and installed more than a million times.I am frequently asked on my radio show about the wisdom of having more than one browser installed, and it may be a good idea to do precisely that. By having multiple browsers installed, the user can try them all, compare them, and decide which one to use as the default or predominant browser. For many users, Google's Chrome has become and remains the browser of choice.
