20 cases of symptomatic spinal metastases of intracranial glioblastoma – clinical characteristics and pathomechanism depending on GFAP expression
Suche in Medline nach
|20. Mai 2009
Objective: Spinal spreading of intracranial glioblastoma (GBM) remains asymptomatic in the majority of cases. We illustrate different spreading mechanisms depending on astrocytic GBM cell differentiation by presenting an extraordinary case of a 47-year-old patient with rapid progressive paraplegia due to coincident intramedullary and leptomeningeal dissemination (ILD) of a supratentorial GBM and the review of 20 cases of intracranial GBM with symptomatic spinal spreading.
Material and methods: Histological examination and immunohistochemical assessment of GFAP expression of tissues of the intracranial, leptomeningeal and intramedullary tumors was done. A search of the literature with "glioblastoma spinal metastases" in MEDLINE was performed and the results separated into 19 cases of symptomatic spinal dissemination of an initially intracranial GBM in patients older than 16 years.
Results: GBM has been verified in all tissues by histological examination. GFAP expression was high in intracranial and intramedullary tumors while low in leptomeningeal dissemination.
Mean patient age was calculated to be 45 years (range 18 to 67 years). Male to female ratio 1.9:1; the mean interval between the identification of ILD to death was found to be 4.5 months (Range 1 to 24 months). Overall survival time (OST) showed a mean of 18.6 months (Range 7 – 62 months). Symptomatic spinal metastases were localized in the leptomeninges in 14 cases and within the medulla in 7 cases. Simultaneous occurrence of intramedullary and leptomeningeal spinal metastases presented in only one case.
Conclusions: With a mean survival of only 4.5 months after identification of ILD, spinal metastases of GBM are a hallmark of extensive disease. Patients with ILD in GBM tend to be comparatively young, whereas their overall survival time is below the expected time span for that age group.
Highly astrocytically differentiated tumor cells (high GFAP expression) have a higher tendency for infiltrative growth, whereas low astrocytic differentiation (low GFAP expression) results in passive dissemination via cerebrospinal fluid pathways and induction of leptomeningeal spread. Hence leptomeningeal spread can be expected early in tumors with low astrocytic differentiation. We therefore recommend a regular whole spine imaging work‑up at the time of cranial MRI for all patients with cerebral GBM and low or non‑existent GFAP expression even though the patients might not be symptomatic at that time.

Stars of Track and Field
Although originally an indie rock quartet, Stars of Track and Field went digital after losing their bassist, essentially transforming themselves into a trio with heavy electronic flourishes. The band's debut EP, You Came Here for Sunset Last Year, was released in May 2005. A full record, Centuries Before Love and War, was then scheduled for release in June 2006, but its arrival was postponed when the Portland-based band -- comprised of Kevin Calaba (vocals, guitar, keyboard), Jason Bell (guitar, vocals), and Daniel Orvik (drums, programming) -- signed a contract with Wind-Up Records, a rock-based label known for housing such big names as Creed and Evanescence. Another big break for Stars of Track and Field came when they went on tour with Jeremy Enigk of Sunny Day Real Estate in summer 2006, and Centuries Before Love and War was eventually issued digitally in August. A physical release followed in January 2007. Two years later, Stars of Track and Field found themselves exploring a different type of music, having moved past the analog/digital experiments that characterized their debut. Released in September 2009, A Time for Lions embraced more straightforward pop/rock songs. ~ Kenyon Hopkin

I've had a really hard time simply inserting a photo. I did an entry in which I put three photos side by side in the gallery. Then I tried to separately add a fourth photo large size. Sometimes it showed up in the gallery too. When I deleted it from the gallery, it also deleted the large individual one at the bottom. Then I added the photo thru add media. I also tried browser vs. flash to add photo but sometimes it worked and other times it showed up with the red x. How can I insert a photo separately from the gallery without adding it to the gallery and making sure it works without a red x? Thanks.

General Cloning Protocol
"Cloning" is the term used in molecular biology for the insertion of another organism's gene into a target host organism (eg. taking the Green Fluorescent Protein (gfp) gene from the A. victoria jellyfish and putting it in E. coli to get E. coli to glow green). Though this sounds simple, multiple in vitro DNA-assembly steps are involved that are not always simple in execution. One should remember that each of these in vitro steps is in essence a chemical reaction (often carried out by enzymes), which is subject to environmental conditions (salt concentration, temperature), quality and quantity of reagents (how much cut DNA, presence of dNTP's, etc), and theoretical yields. If the yield for any of these reactions in our series is too low, then we are unlikely to get the desired end product (usually our gene of interest inserted into our target plasmid). Therefore, we should always seek to optimize the yield of desired product for each of our reactions; this simply means use the HIGHEST quality reagents in the most OPTIMAL conditions you can.
Here is a highly generalized set of steps in cloning:
- Production of the linear insert. A linear piece of a desired DNA sequence can be obtained in many ways, including traditional PCR, Assembly PCR, cutting a piece out of an already existing vector (as in biobricks cloning), synthesis orders (through companies), primer extension reactions, and primer annealing.
- Cutting the insert and target vector with appropriate endonucleases. We use restriction endonuclease enzymes to cut specific sequences of DNA. The ends of these cut pieces of DNA will then stick together if their sequences are complementary, allowing us to ligate linear pieces of DNA together in a highly specific way.
- Ligating the linearized vector and insert together. Here, we simply combine our insert and vector in a reaction with the enzyme DNA ligase, which covalently links free ends of DNA together.
- Transformation of the completed vector and screening. E. coli will take up DNA through its membranes under certain conditions (heat shock, electroporation), which allows us to put our finished DNA vector into the bacterium. We plate our transformants on selective media, which will allow only those cells to grow that have successfully taken up our vector.
Depending on what one wants to build, the construction steps for cloning can look very different. Even for identical constructs, differences in style among researchers will lead to different cloning methodologies. If one chooses to stick to standardized systems of cloning such as BioBrick cloning, construction protocols can be identical across almost all situations. Such standardized systems can greatly simplify how one approaches cloning, but they are not always suited to every situation (eg. standard assembly in BioBrick cloning runs into problems when one wants to build fusion peptides). The take-home message is that there is rarely ONE WAY in which to clone something. How we build DNA constructs depends on what we need to build and how the individual researcher wants to assemble their DNA. Things people take into account are: cost, speed, reliability, accuracy of assembly. Arguably, synthesis technology takes the cake on speed, reliability, and accuracy, but at even 25cents/bp, it is still prohibitively expensive for most people's cloning needs.
A more detailed example:
What follows is a highly specific example of a cloning protocol. First, let us work through the logic of planning the assembly:
Let's say you want to assemble two genes, a and b, in series. When the construction is complete, you would like the products of genes a(300bp) and b(800bp) to be the fused protein A-B, with a short 2xGGGS linker in between the two domains. You have DNA that codes for b on hand in a BioBrick vector. The DNA for a, however, doesn't exist and is too big to make by either primer annealing (200bp w/ IDT Ultramer oligo synthesis; this is very expensive, anyway). You think you can make b by doing primer extension of two 170bp ultramers but quickly realize that the two Ultramers will cost >$400. Compared to a straight-up synthesis order from DNA2.0, this seems too costly and risky (the primers might just not work because of cryptic hairpinning or something weird).

"Sarah Palin's Alaska" didn't debut until Sunday night, but the former governor has been defending it for weeks. After Karl Rove wondered how a reality show fit "the American calculus of 'that helps me see you in the Oval Office,'" Fox News gave Palin a chance to respond. "You know, I agree with that," she said. "Those standards have to be high for someone who would ever want to run for president, like, um, wasn't Ronald Reagan an actor? Wasn't he in 'Bedtimes for Bonzo,' 'Bozo' or something?"
The movie was "Bedtime for Bonzo," but no matter: What Palin should have mentioned was " General Electric Theater," the television show Reagan hosted and occasionally starred in from 1954 to 1962. It would have made Palin's point nicely. Instead, her comment hinted at a different one altogether: that Palin has an appallingly and disturbingly superficial knowledge of Reagan's career and principles.
Yet Palin keeps waving Reagan's name around as a promotional brand _ and, even worse, as a substitute for her own policies. Indeed, "Reagan" provides Palin with an all-purpose analogy, an analogy that allows her to avoid discussing particulars or advancing new ideas.
This is about more than mixing up Reagan's biographical minutiae, though Palin does that. This is about how _ and why _ the former governor deploys Reagan. Take foreign policy. After her February keynote at the National Tea Party Convention _ which she began by chirping, "Happy birthday, Ronald Reagan!" _ Palin took questions. One of them was about national security. "It's easy to just kind of sum it up by repeating Ronald Reagan when he talked about the Cold War," Palin explained. "And we can apply this now to our war on terrorism, you know. Bottom line, we win, they lose."
Palin loves to repeat Reagan's Cold War quip, though she sometimes adds a personal twist that raises the vindictiveness level: we win, you lose. In April, after President Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev signed the New START treaty, Palin went on Fox News and argued that "no administration in America's history" would have supported such a reduction in nuclear weapons. "We miss Ronald Reagan," Palin added, "who used to say when he would look at our enemies and say, 'No, you lose, we win.'"
This completely ignores Reagan's own breakthrough efforts to eliminate nuclear weapons, most prominently through his meetings with Mikhail Gorbachev. Reagan considered these some of his presidency's most important moments _ and even insisted that the first one serve as the opening to his presidential memoir, "An American Life." "I understood the irony of what happened," Reagan wrote, acknowledging his "we win" image. But he didn't let it stop him from sitting down with Gorbachev in Geneva and later in Reykjavik.
Palin's version of Reagan simply cannot allow for such nuance. Instead, she uses him to simplify issues and to skip serious thinking. Reagan frequently pops up in Palin's memoir, "Going Rogue," with many of the citations clustered in her final (and shortest) chapter, "The Way Forward." Reagan and the economy, Reagan and domestic policy _ whatever the subject, Palin's method remains the same: Draw an easy analogy between Reagan's era and our own, then move on.
Lots of Republicans invoke Reagan (remember the presidential primary season in 2008, when the GOP's White House hopefuls kept trying to out-Reagan each other?), just as lots of Democrats invoke FDR _ and just as everyone invokes the Founding Fathers. But there are better and worse ways to do this. Palin's Reagan actually resembles the "tea party's" Founding Fathers. In both cases, historical figures become references not to start discussion, but to shut it down.
Which brings us to Palin's most egregious analogy: that she and Ronald Reagan are alike. As she has upped her number of candidate-like appearances, Palin has also upped her Reagan references. In September, she headlined the Iowa Republican Party's Ronald Reagan Dinner. (A sample line: "The Obama administration foreign policy is a far cry from Ronald Reagan days.") Last month, at another high-profile Republican event, this one in Florida and behind closed doors, Palin reportedly defended her presidential chances by pointing out that Reagan's critics claimed he, too, was unelectable, until he won the presidency.
Indeed. In 1976, an Esquire profile of Reagan appeared with the following headline: "Would you buy a used car from this man? Of course you would. That's the problem." But Palin's trajectory and Reagan's don't match. Reagan used his status as an entertainer to become a politician; Palin is using her status as a politician to become an entertainer.
Reagan also spent time reading, thinking and testing his political philosophy. In addition to hosting "General Electric Theater," Reagan toured the company's plants, developing and delivering an ultimately anti-government manifesto that came to be known as "The Speech." When Esquire asked Reagan about his conversion from FDR Democrat to Goldwater Republican, he responded not by dropping names but by describing a process: "It wasn't any case of some mentor coming in and talking me out of it. I did it in my own speeches."
Reagan couldn't escape charges of unseriousness. But the truth is, he worked on his content, in addition to his image.
On this count, Palin falls disastrously short. Maybe that's why she didn't compare her show to Reagan's "General Electric Theater" _ and, implicitly, to the personal and political transformation that came with it. Or maybe she doesn't even know the show existed. This summer, speaking to a California crowd, Palin suggested that "it was destiny that the man who went to California's Eureka College would become so woven within and interlinked to the Golden State." Reagan's alma mater is in Eureka, Ill. It was embarrassing, but apparently not for Palin. For her purposes, the details _ and a whole lot more _ simply do not matter.

Both coworkers Sam and Michelle had family visiting from the mainland this past weekend, so I got to meet and take pictures for them.
I met Sam and her family late Saturday afternoon at Baby Makapu'u. A few minutes into the shoot and it started to pour. We all dashed back into our cars, and waited it out. It was raining so hard that I didn't think it would stop. After about 10 minutes it did, and we were able to finish the shoot. I loved meeting this very close-knit family.
I met Michelle and her family on Sunday afternoon at Kahala Beach Park. What a fun group! Michelle and her husband are in the back on the left, her parents are on the right.

Yes. > I need the address and irq number to be passed in to the LKM somehow. > > I've been unable to find any examples of this in the kernel source or > on the web. As of now, there is no way to pass "arguments" to LKM drivers, AFAIK. Generally, the drivers for "indirect-config" buses such as ISA [*] do their best find the device at standard locations (or places hinted by the structure passed as an argument to driver's match() method). Failing that, the user has to find out correct values of base address/intr/whatever and supply them as locators in the kernel config file (these values will then appear in abovementioned "hint" structure). This scheme is independent of whether you work with an LKM or a compiled-in driver -- provided that the bus in question has a function to locate device on the bus (such as pci_find_device(9)). In -current, there is some initial code to force rescan of buses that support it (inluding locator passing) and perform other device driver manipulation (detach driver from the device etc.). Look for drvctl(8) and ${sys}/kern/kern_drvctl.c. This, again, should be independent of whether your code is LKM vs. static. To sum up, I think your best bet for the time being is a traditional compiled-in driver... Hope this helps, -- Jachym Holecek [*] I suppose you're dealing with this kind of bus, "direct-config" ones should be able to find and identify devices automatically.

Americans have strange taste in shoes. We pick some quite trendy designs, don't get me wrong. But when it concerns something that safeguards an area of your body as crucial as your feet, design must be the least concern.
A lot of fashion shoes on the market are not developed with foot and postural positioning in mind. Case and point:
Numerous stylish shoes have a raised heel, which causes your back and knees to be off-center. Over time, this leads to wear and tear and pain.
Simply put, if you're currently experiencing back or knee discomfort, there's a good chance the shoes you're using have something to do with it.
Your knees take a remarkable amount of tension throughout everyday walking and running. They bear the force of your body weight.
And while your knees are developed to handle this sort of weight, they can just do so efficiently if your body is properly lined up. Wearing shoes with a raised heel throws this alignment out the window.
To make matters worse, if you have a BMI of 25 or more, each additional pound relates to three added pounds of pressure on your knee joints when strolling, and 10 when running. So, in that case, if you're using improper shoes, you're doing some severe damage to your knees.
So how do you tell if your shoes are excellent or not?
Podiatrist Jenny Kitchen area says discomfort must be the first indicator that something is incorrect.
I can't tell you the number of times I have actually heard my female pals grumble about their feet being blistered and sore after a night out in heels. Very same goes for a few of my male good friends who wear elegant dress shoes.
With the science of foot reflexology in mind, is it any wonder so many of us are strung out and facing all sorts of ailments considering that we put style and design ahead of practicality in footwear?
Jenny Kitchen says:
If you have concerns in the biomechanical department, you actually require to spend a little bit of money, not big amounts (perhaps $60 to $80) on an acceptable shock-absorbing shoe with a great solid firm heel, and a deep toe box with lots of breadth to accommodate the feet. That will nearly please most individuals's requirements unless you are planning to start running marathons, where case, you really do need to take a look at spending a bit of cash.

General Mice Facts
Mice are members of the rodent family and are usually smaller than rats. Their bodies weigh between 11 and 22 grams, depending on the type of mouse. Mice are amazing climbers and their color is usually grayish brown, and some species have white markings. Mice have poor vision and are colorblind. A mouse's other senses, especially its hearing, are keen. House mice, deer mice and white-footed mice are some of the most common mouse pests in the United States. You can tell house mice from the others since their eyes are usually smaller.

Back to FAQ List
A. Many species of house mice live all across the United States. Deer mice are also found throughout most of North America, but white-footed mice mostly live east of the Rocky Mountains. Very urban and very rural areas attract mice either because of garbage or crops, respectively.
In the outdoors, farms, fields, wooded areas and vacant lots provide excellent mouse homes. Mice will often build nests in underground burrows or at ground level. They'll line their nests with cloth and paper; mouse nests look like a ball loosely woven together.
More often than not, house mice, deer mice and white-footed mice move into human territory. Mice will burrow into sheds, homes, businesses, porches, decks, attics, crawlspaces and woodpiles to create a home. They will enter foundation openings, scurry under door thresholds, and climb walls and stucco to get to kitchens, pantries and food-storage areas.
As humans build their homes and businesses closer and closer to natural mouse habitat, the mice take up residence in manmade living spaces. These locations are warm and often surrounded by food sources for both male and female mice, young and old. Female mice, in particular, enjoy the safety of human areas. They must protect their babies from predators. Areas like woodpiles, leaf piles and stacks of bricks also serve as mouse shelters outside your home or business.
Attics, walls, kitchens, pantries, storage rooms and crawlspaces are hot spots in your home where mice seek shelter. Some mothers go so far as to tuck their babies down into crawlspaces, between floors, in wall cavities, in storage areas and in attic insulation. Mice will also live between floors in two- or three-story homes and businesses. Some mice enjoy living in large electrical appliances, such as in the backside of an oven, where they can cause lots of mice oven damage. Mice love areas of the kitchen, including drawers holding food, storage boxes and foodstuffs. They also like to live in clothing.
Back to FAQ List
A. Mice will most commonly enter the attic, walls or crawlspace in the fall because there is a scarcity of seeds and plants outside. Mice are mostly nocturnal, so you won't see them out much during the day. They usually start to become active around dusk, when they go looking for food and water. If there are a lot of mice in your storage room, attic, or kitchen, some mice may venture out to find food during the day.
Female mice are only pregnant for about three weeks, and then they have a litter of five to six babies. Though the hairless babies look very helpless, they grow up fast—they'll be independent in about a month. The average mouse female has five to ten litters a year. You can see how one or two mice in the attic or walls can become 20 in no time.
House mice will usually travel no more than 10 to 30 feet from their nests to find food or water. White-footed and deer mice travel much farther, often several acres. Because of this limited range, they can be much more difficult to control than rats, which travel greater distances.

A. Mice are omnivores, meaning they will eat just about anything. Some mice prefer meat over other foods, while other mice prefer grains, fruits and vegetable matter over meats. Mice are considered nibblers since they are not afraid of trying new foods. Even when grains and seeds, their ideal foods, are present, mice may sample chocolates, bacon, and other foods high in protein and sugar.
Unlike rats, mice can survive on little or no water, though they will drink water if it is available. Mice extract their water from the foods that they eat.
Mice also like to feed on garbage in kitchens and food storage rooms if they are living near humans. Dumpsters provide an easy and plentiful source of mouse food. Landfills, garbage dumps and unkempt yards are full of mouse food, also.
Back to FAQ List
A. Mice are thought to be the most common mammal living in cities, besides humans, and mice only need a ¼-inch hole to access your house or business. Mice in homes are a very common, yet annoying, occurrence. Mice will get into any opening they can squeeze their heads through, including fireplaces, chimney flues, roof vents, loose siding, garage doors and soffit gaps. They can gnaw into a roof's overhangs, shingles, gable and soffit areas and where two roofs meet, or simply anywhere they sense a void. Mice can even get into the attic through crevices in the chimney, through loose brick, stucco gaps, and at points where water lines and wires enter the home.
Getting onto your roof is no trick, either. Mice are excellent climbers. Mice will climb right up wood siding, stucco, brick and trees to gain access to the house. Jumping and swimming are other ways mice have been known to gain entry into a house or building.
Back to FAQ List
A. Once mice get cozy in your attic, walls, or crawlspace, they can make a mess and cause a lot of damage that can cost thousands of dollars to fix. They will also return year after year, using your attic as a home base — they have no problem living alongside humans. The holes that mice use as an entry will become a great place for leaks to form and a passageway for other animals, including rats, chipmunks, bats, honeybees and insects.
Mouse noises in the walls, ceiling, attic or crawlspace can be very irritating and loud. You may hear mice gnawing, climbing, scratching, squeaking and fighting right above your head as you try to sleep.
If a house mouse, deer mouse or white-footed mouse should choose to die in a wall, closet, food storage area or ceiling, the dead mouse odor will emanate into the living quarters, causing headaches and nausea. Mice bodies can take up to eight weeks to decompose, and for the dead mouse smell to stop.
If you have a mouse infestation in your attic it will tempt raccoons, rats and squirrels to enter the attic, too. Raccoons, rats and squirrels will hunt down mice that may already be living in the attic, and then feed on the mouse's existing food supply.
Mice will tear into areas of your home or business and haunt it for years to come. Sometimes, so many shack up that the space becomes a mouse hotel.
All these mouse pest problems will affect the value of your property. It is difficult to sell a home that has a mouse infestation and actually, it's required by law that you fix the mouse problem before you sell your home. Property value can decrease between five percent and ten percent due to mouse problems. It's also dangerous to allow a mouse infestation to continue because of flood and fire hazards, disease and contamination.
Back to FAQ List
A. House mice are considered some of the most troublesome rodents in the United States. An attic that has served as a mouse home may have shredded ductwork. Mice may tunnel through the insulation, rendering it less effective. Chewing on wires and tearing insulation off pipes is not uncommon. You may come home from vacation to find your home has flooded because of mice chewing on water lines. This kind of damage to your residence can pose a fire hazard, raise your utility bills and cost thousands of dollars in repairs.
House mice, deer mice and white-footed mice also go to the bathroom just like any other animal. Your insulation will become a trampled bed of mouse fecal matter and urine. Eventually, these bathroom smells can spread into your living area, causing a very unpleasant odor. You might get used to it, but your house guests, neighbors and prospective homebuyers will not. The smells from mouse urine and rod-shaped mouse poop attract other mice and rodents.
Though mice are small and don't eat large quantities, they do graze and nibble a lot. It is very easy for mice to live in the attic but they can venture down through a wall void to your kitchen at night while you sleep. Though they will not eat very much of your food, they will contaminate a lot of it with their urine, droppings and hair.
If a mouse is nesting in your oven or other large electrical appliance, it can cause damage to the appliance's insulation and wiring, creating a severe fire hazard in your home. But what if the mice just live in my attic, you say. Mice can do considerable damage to stored items like photos, books and other heirlooms which can be impossible to replace.
Mice keep their teeth worn down by gnawing on surfaces. You may wonder why there are chew marks on your rafters and doors or why there are fresh wood shavings in your attic. This is probably because a mouse has been honing its teeth in your attic. Along with chew marks, mice will leave greasy tracks and fur along their normal routes of travel.
Back to FAQ List
A. Mice's reputation as dirty animals is 100 percent accurate. House mice, deer mice and white-footed mice are primary carriers of leptospirosis, salmonella, Mousebite fever, ricketsiallpox, lymphocytic choriomeningitis, tapeworms, ringworms and hantavirus.
Humans become infected with leptospirosis when they come into contact with water, food or soil containing urine from an infected mouse. If a mouse has been scurrying around in your food or water, leptospirosis can be easily transmitted once you consume that food and water. The disease starts out with flu-like symptoms which can develop into liver failure or meningitis.
Mice carry the bacteria salmonella. People who pick up salmonella bacteria can become seriously ill with diarrhea, vomiting, fever and chills. Salmonella can also affect the blood. Mouse salmonella can be spread through mouse droppings.
Humans may contract Mousebite fever from a mouse bite, hence the disease's name. But humans can also get Mousebite fever by coming into contact with mouse urine or nose, mouth or eye secretions of a sick mouse. Rash, flu-like symptoms and heart illnesses can all be symptoms of Mousebite fever.
Ricketsiallpox is characterized by a rash at the site of a mite bite. Mice carry around a colorless mite, which then can be transferred to humans and bite them. After the rash appears, humans can also get fever, chills and headaches.
Lymphocytic choriomeningitis is a virus that can infect humans when they come into contact with mouse droppings and urine. It can lead to inflammation of the brain and is particularly dangerous to pregnant women, in whom it can cause abortion and retardation of the fetus.
Tapeworms and ringworms are parasites of the digestive system that live in human intestines.
Hantavirus is a deadly disease transmitted through mouse excretions. Humans can get it by breathing in the airborne virus. Hantavirus can cause fever, muscle aches, cough and respiratory failure and, potentially, death.
Back to FAQ List
A. Mice are also heavily infested with pests, which can spread into your home or business searching for hosts. Lice, fleas and mites are all known carriers of disease.
Several cases of mites biting humans indoors have been reported.
If a mouse brings fleas into your home, most likely the biting bug will hop onto your house pet's back. Once inside, large flea populations can build up quickly. Fleas live on the outside of their hosts' bodies and need to feed on blood in order to produce eggs.
Mice carry two kinds of lice—one bites its host and the other sucks the host's blood. Lice can cause hair loss and itching, and can transmit parasites.
A bug living in a mouse nest can become an infestation in your kitchen, pantry or carpet in no time. One or two mites may stray from the mouse nest and crawl along your kitchen table. But if the mouse abandons its nest for any reason, the whole caboodle of mouse bugs will enter your home, looking for a new host. This is why it's especially important to have our mouse-control experts remove mouse nests and other garbage after all the mice have been exterminated.
Mice are a liability for businesses and restaurants. Mouse bugs and illnesses may infect your employees, guests or food. There are documented cases of illnesses occurring in these situations, and the plaintiff successfully sues the owner of the business. State health departments may shut down a business if it has a mouse infestation. Also, if you are an employer and your workers' environment is being contaminated by mice, you will see a drop in productivity due to illness. Remember, United Wildlife's mouse pest control experts can eradicate and manage a pest infestation brought in by a mouse. Call 1-888-488-1415.
Back to FAQ List
A. Because of mouse diseases and mouse insects, house mice, deer mice and white-footed mice living in your attic, kitchen, pantry, storage room, walls or crawlspace can pose a danger to house pets. Mice may also bite your dog or cat and transmit any of the diseases listed above.
Back to FAQ List
A. We understand the desire to take care of a mouse problem yourself. It may be tempting to take matters into your own hands, but in the long run, you could put yourself, your family and your home at risk of damage, distress and disease.
Using only store-bought mouse traps and mouse poison is not a good option to get rid of mice. Mice have a keen sense of direction, and they are always memorizing their pathways to food and water. Mice also have an amazing sense of taste. They can sniff out contaminants and poison with no problem, and may become bait-shy to certain types of kill baits or poisons. It is quite hard to fool a mouse with poisons and traps because of this.
The mouse removal experts at United Wildlife will humanely trap any existing house mice, deer mice and white-footed mice and then offer mouse prevention ideas and techniques. United Wildlife's mouse exterminators use multi-dose versus single-dose poisons so the mice don't become bait shy. United Wildlife's mouse control only uses mouse poison outside the home, and never inside.
A homeowner may successfully trap and kill an adult mouse, only to smell the nasty odor of baby mouse carcasses rotting in the attic or walls. It can take between four to seven weeks, depending on the size, for a mouse body to decompose, and even longer for the odor to dissipate. Along with dead mice come maggots and other bugs, including fly larvae.
Back to FAQ List
A. United Wildlife's specialty is the removal of house mice, deer mice and white-footed mice from attics, walls, crawlspaces, ceilings, sheds, porches and other hard-to-reach locations through special mouse trapping techniques, mouse repellents, mouse poisons and use of fiber-optic and infrared cameras. Depending on city, county, federal and state law, the mice will either be relocated or euthanized once they are taken away. No matter the course of action, the mice will be treated in a humane manner.
If a mouse has already died under or in your home, porch or business, our professional mouse trappers offer dead mouse removal services and can also help clear odors caused by dead mice.
We are professional mouse trappers who will travel to any location to get the mice out. We can do professional phone and Internet coaching for those who live in remote areas and want to perform pest control for mice by using digital pictures sent by e-mail. Either way, we will work with you to solve your mouse invasion. There is not a mouse problem that can't be solved with United Wildlife's professional mouse trapping service. Call us at 1-888-488-1415.
Back to FAQ List
A. Call United Wildlife's mouse trapping specialists at 1-888-488-1415 and we'll give you our rates. We charge incrementally per mouse, number of service calls and time spent on the project. Prices will vary depending on the severity of the mouse problem. Depending on the amount of mice and where they are living, you may be able to assist us with the mouse problem as we are dealing with it. There is no free government service that takes care of mouse control. The good news is, insurance companies will often pay for some, if not all, of the costs incurred to get rid of mice.
United Wildlife mouse experts accept Visa, MasterCard and American Express. We also take purchase orders and cash.
Back to FAQ List
A. After our mouseremoval experts have taken care of the mouse problem, it is best to contain or properly secure any food sources the mice may have been enjoying such as garbage cans, dumpsters and the like. Don't entice other house mice, white-footed mice or deer mice to return. We will also help you make sure the building is in proper repair to deter any future furry friends from entering.
United Wildlife's mouse blockers can install special products which block mice from entering your attic, walls, crawlspace, commercial or industrial areas.
Cleaning up mouse droppings, urine and nesting material is crucial in the mouse prevention process. If you leave any mouse waste behind, it will entice other mice to come make a home in your house or business and the mess will provide a breeding ground for mouse disease. United Wildlife can help with hantavirus clean-up, attic decontamination and mouse odor control needs. United Wildlife's attic clean-out technicians can remove contaminated insulation and install new insulation when the mouse contamination is great.
Do remember that mice are wild and unpredictable. Though we have years of experience in the mouse removal field, a particular mouse situation may require that we return more than once to get the job done right and to prevent mice from living under or in your house or business in the future. Incremental pricing will apply for our professional mouse removal and all mouse solutions are custom-made and custom-priced.
In the end, if you're happy with our experienced, professional mouse exterminators, any referrals are always appreciated.

This surgical procedure also called gluteoplasty or buttock augmentation. It is design to reshape the size of your buttocks and create more firm and aesthetic appearance. The buttock area is not easily changed by weight reduction or exercise, therefore you may consider this operation to improve the look of your buttock. In general every person who wishes to undergo the operation and is in a good physical condition can do so.
Buttock augmentation is achieved using fat. The idea is to remove fat from your one body part and inject in into your buttocks. The big advantage of this technique is the fact that there is no rejection since the tissue used is taken from your one body. In addition this method can make your buttock look very natural. The fat is usually taken from areas of the body, which have extra fat, like the flank area, the thigh and the upper and lower buttock. The extra fat, which is removed from the above areas, can further reshape the buttock making it look like you`ve been through a butt lift. After the fat is removed is undergoes some special processing and then injected to your buttocks using a special cannula, which has a very small diameter therefore leaves minimal scars. The big challenge of the fat grafting is to cause the graft to survive in the new place, this can be achieved by injecting small amount of fat each time into different layers, above and below the butt muscles. This way better blood supply is accomplished and irregularities of the surface is minimized. The graft survival is unpredictable, some of the fat is absorbed causing you to loose the augmentation effect. It is generally believed that what`s left after 3 month usually stays forever. After the procedure the buttock area usually don`t heart, the pain is generally from the incisions make in the donor area. Those incisions are also very small, the same ones used for liposuction.
Every procedure has its risks, the risks for this one is minimal. The main risk of the procedure is fat absorption, occurring in approximately one-third of the patients. Bleeding, infection and scarring are rare.
You`ll be able to go back to work after 3-5 days, but you`ll have to wear special garment for 3-4 weeks. It may take up to one month until you feel normal, some swelling may appear, which will usually disappear after a couple of month.

Currently, the concept of subject is being submitted to a series of refutations and reformulations. Among them, the reconsideration of the convergent processes in its constitution can contribute to clarify the statute and the reach of the contemporary concept of subjectivity. Starting from a comparative reading of Freud and Lévinas, the de-centering of the subject and its founding dis-encounter with the Other is discussed, whereas also the consequences for the self comprehension (Selbstverständnis) of the subject and its relation towards language are analyzed

Write down the number 1089 on a piece of paper, fold it up, hand it to a group of friends and tell them not to look yet. Tell your pals to think of a three-digit number (like 123), but not to tell you what it is. (One catch: The numbers all have to be different.) Then tell them to reverse it (321) and subtract the smaller number from the larger one (321-123 (equals) 198 in our example. Now tell them to reverse the digits of the new number (891) and add the two together. (198 + 891 (equals) 1089). Then tell them to open your slip of paper - and watch their faces.

Middlesex DA's office holds Domestic Violence Shelter Drive
Posted by Liam O'Kennedy December 12, 2012 10:00 AM
The following was submitted by the Middlesex District Attorney:
Middlesex District Attorney Gerry Leone presented seven domestic violence organizations with much needed supplies for victims of domestic abuse who reside in local shelters.
The annual Domestic Violence Shelter Drive is an effort by the Middlesex District Attorney's Office to provide gift baskets to every domestic violence shelter in Middlesex County. DA Leone presented the baskets to the shelters today.
"All too often we see the devastating effect that domestic violence has on victims and families across Middlesex County," District Attorney Leone said. "This is especially hard during the holiday season when families in shelters are without the comforts of home. We hope these donations can ease the burden victims' face. Helping victims overcome the barriers against disclosure and ending the cycle of domestic violence remains a top priority for this office. I'd like to thank everyone within the Middlesex District Attorney's Office who contributed to this important effort."
The gift baskets contain items such as toiletries, laundry supplies, baby clothes, diapers, formula and toys. These items are often in high demand at shelters, as victims often are forced to leave all of their belongings behind when they flee an abusive relationship. The drive was conducted by the Middlesex District Attorney's Office, with contributions collected by its staff.
The shelters receiving gift baskets are: Alternative House in Lowell, REACH Beyond Domestic Violence in Waltham, RESPOND in Somerville and Malden, Transition House in Cambridge, Voices Against Violence in Framingham, the Gay Men's Domestic Violence Project, and the Asian Task Force Against Domestic Violence.
Middlesex County is the largest county in Massachusetts and one of the largest counties in the country with 54 towns and cities and 26 colleges in urban, suburban, and rural areas, comprising over one quarter of the population of Massachusetts. The Middlesex District Attorney's Office has offices throughout the county, including communities such as Ayer, Cambridge, Concord, Framingham, Lowell, Malden, Marlborough, Natick, Newton, Somerville, Waltham, and Woburn.

When choosing bedroom blinds, it is easy to feel overwhelmed by the choices available, but there are ways to narrow your choices down to the one best suited to your needs.
One of the most important details to consider is the color and material of the bedroom blinds, because dark wood blinds tend to create quite a different atmosphere from light-colored aluminum blinds, for example. Once you have decided how dark you want the blinds to be, you should then think about how dark you want the room to be during the day.
Bedroom blinds come in many materials, with wood, faux wood and aluminum being some of the most popular options.
Wood is known for often looking elegant, but its high cost means some people choose to buy faux wood, which is cheaper and looks similar to real wood. Aluminum bedroom blinds are usually the least expensive choice, and the slats tend to be thinner and lighter than those made of wood or faux wood. Most materials for this type of bedroom decor come in several colors, from neutral tones such as white and beige to bolder colors.
Once you know what color you want the bedroom blinds to be, you should think about how light or dark you want the room itself to be. Blackout blinds, which can darken the room when closed during the day, are often best if you take daytime naps or sleep late, especially if the windows face the sunrise. These blinds also are ideal for blocking out the glow from nearby street lights at night and may keep the room cooler, because some feature ultraviolet protection.
You also may want to consider the occupant of the bedroom before purchasing blinds for the windows, because some bedroom blinds have helpful features. For instance, if you need the blinds for a child's room, stain-resistant material that can easily be wiped down is recommended. If you do not have children or pets to keep safe, standard bedroom blinds will likely suffice.

International Coastal Research Center (ICRC)
The Atmosphere and Ocean Research Institute (AORI), The University of Tokyo (UTokyo)
The International Coastal Research Center is located in Otsuchi Bay on northern Japan's Pacific coast. The cold Oyashio and warm Kuroshio currents foster high productivity and biodiversity in and around Otsuchi Bay. The large earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011 resulted in serious disturbance to the nearby coastal ecosystem. It is very important to monitor physical, chemical, and biological aspects of the ecosystem as it recovers. Thus, we intend to reconstruct the ICRC in Otsuchi in order to contribute significantly to international coastal research.
Coastal Ecosystem Section
The coastal ecology section focuses on promotion of international, collaborative research into the effect of variability in marine and climatic conditions on the modern and historical coastal ecology of the Sanriku area.

California legislators are considering a bill that would serve DUIs to drivers who aren't even high when pulled over, according to LA Weekly.
Introduced by assemblyman Jim Frazier, bill AB 2500 would make it unlawful to "drive a motor vehicle if his or her blood contains any detectable amount of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol of marijuana or any other drug classified in Schedules I, II, III, or IV of the California Uniform Controlled Substance Act."
Marijuana can be detected in the blood stream several days after using it, meaning that legal users could receive a DUI for smoking days ago, even if they are completely sober when pulled over.
Dale Gieringer, director of California NORML, said that the bill "gives you a DUI if you have any controlled substance in your blood stream. It's pretty extreme."
The bill's current language would also include DUIs for any trace of Ambien, Vicodin, or even a diet drug known as phentermine. It could be amended, however, to apply only to marijuana.
Fortunately, the last few attempts at enacting this sort of legislature have not passed.

Today, Netflix unleashes the second season of Daredevil: 13 episodes hellbent on exposing the disturbing noir underbelly of the Marvel Universe. The show features Matt Murdock, a blind lawyer and vigilante with extraordinary hearing, touch and radar-like powers. In this new set of binge fodder, Murdock faces the Punisher, an ex-military serial killer who hunts criminals, and Elektra, a Greek ex-girlfriend turned ninja assassin.
For long-time readers of the comic book source material, these characters signal the creative influence of one man: Frank Miller. Not only did Miller create Elektra; he was also the first to mash the Punisher's guns-and-ammo nihilism against Murdock's higher-power optimism. And for much of Miller's career, that's been his singular obsession: tackling belief systems just as extreme as his heroes' superpowers.
Historically, Miller's take on religion has isolated him from the liberal-leaning industry he helped evolve. His 2011 graphic novel, Holy Terror, repurposed a Batman pitch into the original tale of a hulking vigilante called the Fixer battling Al Qaeda. Spencer Ackerman of Wired called it a "screed against Islam, completely uninterested in any nuance or empathy toward 1.2 billion people." Miller defended himself by saying he was strictly attacking terrorism, not religion, likening the project to the old-time war comics that showed Superman and Captain America beating the shit out of Hitler.
The same alleged agnosticism can't explain his most recent offering, The Dark Knight III: The Master Race, which takes religious fanaticism to surreal heights. The third issue introduces a cult of Kryptonians who suicide-bomb the Kremlin. Co-written by Brian Azzarello and drawn by Andy Kubert, it was the top-selling comic last February, moving 146,000 copies. Miller's most direct commentary on faith never saw the light of day, though: Jesus!, a sequential art biography of the carpenter Messiah, was announced in the early aughties but has yet to rise from creative purgatory.
But Miller created his own gospel in 1981 when he took the reigns on Daredevil, the first character he ever wrote and drew. He guided the adventures of the vigilante lawyer for 23 issues, later revisiting the character through miniseries and one-shots. His contribution has all but defined the Daredevil legacy.
Created in 1964 by Stan Lee and Bill Everett and officially baptized Catholic by writer Tony Isabella in 1975, Daredevil's entire existence hinges on a brand of fire-and-brimstone Calvinism. Murdock dons a crimson, horned leotard to hunt down street-level villains who escape the judicial system. He believes the most intimidating figure for rapists and murderers is the Biblical lord of the abyss, reminding them of their pending damnation. (In his defense, it's a hell of a lot more scary than dressing up like a bat.)
Miller took this observation and let it flourish, calling Daredevil "the most Christian of heroes" in a 1981 interview. Whether by osmosis or calculated intention, Murdock's life has paralleled the most brutal twists and turns of the Good Book. No narrative revels in that relationship more than 1986's 5-issue story arc "Born Again," illustrated by David Mazzucchelli in chiseled, noir perfection.
Inspired by his mounting debt after moving to California, Miller strips Daredevil to less than nothing and then promptly resurrects him. For all the sacred imagery and themes packed into these five issues, it's almost a microcosm of the Bible. The story kicks off with a Judas Kiss from Murdock's former girlfriend, Karen Page—now a heroin-addicted porn star suffering in Mexico. She sells his secret identity for drugs, instigating a sea of cascading dominoes that leave Murdock homeless and deranged.
The Bible has no shortage of double-crossing significant others caving into temptation, from Eve's creation of Original Sin to Lot's wife gazing at the city of Sodom against God's wishes. But Delilah's betrayal of proto-superhero Samson—the Judge who conquered an army with the jawbone of the ass and wrecked pagan temples—holds the most similarities. Delilah reveals her significant other's hair as his source of power to the Philistines, leading to his imprisonment and, more specifically, eye gouging.
In "Born Again," the Kingpin of Crime, Wilson Fisk, seizes Murdock's secret and gouges every facet of his life after framing him: his profession, friends, money and reputation. Murdock is leveled on a scale unforeseen since The Book of Job.
From here, Miller segues into the New Testament with visuals inspired directly by Christ's Stations of the Cross: One of the most evocative images of the narrative depicts Murdock's mother, a nun, salvaging her son's fevered body in an alley. The splash page is a direct homage to Michelangelo's Pietà statue, showing Mary the Blessed Virgin cradling Jesus Christ's body after its suspension on the cross.
Murdock then assumes the role of resurrected savior, even shunning his diabolic costume until the final chapters. He reunites with Page, mimicking the relationship between Jesus and reformed prostitute-cum-follower Mary Magdalene. Via dialogue boxes, Miller describes how Karen sold her soul through her descent into vice, and the last piece she fumbled was her bond with Matt; if ever there was an analogy for the Son of God sacrificing himself for our sins, cast in the '80s excess of Hells' Kitchen, this is it. The last chapter—featuring a delusional super-soldier fighting Daredevil and Captain America—closes the book with the fitting title, "Armageddon." Amen.
The implications of the comic are fascinating, especially when evaluating the rest of Miller's work. Is his obsession with prostitution rooted in the most popular religious text? Are his ideals of hyper-masculinity and violence based on prophets who slit throats and wield ass jaws? Maybe, maybe not. Raised by a Catholic Father and Quaker mother, Miller doesn't proclaim a deep love for faith, telling the A.V. Club that the attacks on September 11 made him "a little down on religion." A more realistic explanation could be that Miller saw the Bible as a treasure trove of genre adventures and brutal conflict, phrased in grandiose vernacular that claims one-third of the world's allegiance.
As for Daredevil's legacy, that perspective of Bible-as-Literature has generated some of the most provocative comics of the past two decades. Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's heretic Western, Preacher, pits a burnt-out evangelist against his former Heavenly Father. The 66-issue comic (hey-oh) spawned an upcoming AMC television series starring Dominic Cooper and Ruth Negga, set to debut on May 22nd. Indie comics legend Robert Crumb released the first half of the Bible into a shockingly objective 2009 graphic novel, with the shocking objective title The Book of Genesis Illustrated by R. Crumb. On a more interpretive note, Jason Aaron and artist R.M. Guéra have recast humanity's first homicide culprit—Cain—as an anti-hero in The Goddamned, showing the undying wanderer in a grudge match with a slave-driving Noah.
When framed through Miller and Mazzucchelli's sequential-art noir and dissolved of its dogmatic context, "Born Again" outlines the dramatic storytelling at the heart of the world's best-selling book. Even at a casual glance, The Bible's DNA lines the narratives of the least suspecting media, from Coldplay albums to Lost. But in rare examples like "Born Again," these inspired works almost rival their source material's divinity.

I wonder if Tommy ever thinks about me?
I wonder if Tommy ever thinks about me?
If I am still a word
a syllable
vocabulary against his lips.
I can't help but think of the way that he clung to me;
the way that his parents knew that one day he would be somebody
while the rest of us recognized that the chances of that were slim.
I wonder if he ever read what I wrote
if he still has the crumpled stack of poems that I handed him
shortly before he reached out for my cheek.
I wonder
if the silence that passed between us was accurate
deliberate on his part
and me
foolishly lifting my eyebrows
when he failed to communicate.
I wonder about his girlfriend
always ready to break free.
His hand was in hers while he clung to me.
I wonder if she saw me as a threat
to steel her good little boy away.
I wonder what I was thinking
letting him reach out for me
letting him play with my hair
and speak to me
as though he were worthy to hear my voice.
The rest of us
and fought with that women
-the devil-
behind her green stage curtains
and me
alone with the lavender paint brush
the lights
into us
as we talked.
was that I recognized
his need for secrecy
when I asked;
the answer being:
"She was getting over a cold;"
How typical.
I wonder if he ever thinks of me?
As the days
drift past us
me here
and him
I wonder if he ever felt
what I think he felt
if he diluted the vibes that I was clearly excepting
everything else was alright
and off of that stage
painted blue
to fascinate
the sleepy eyes of its audience.
I remember the way that you sucked up to them
and that
I hated you for it.
I wonder?
Did he ever read those poems?
Did he?
