The ChallengeCapture levitation with your camera—a person or thing (or both! or many of both!) actually floating in an actual space. Photoshop isn't entirely banned, but there are serious rules to how you use it. More on that below.The MethodOur lead photo is from Melvin Sokolsky, who created incredible illusions by suspending models with thin aircraft wires. But the reason that they still look so amazing today is that 99.9% of what you see is real. He just polished out the string. Advertisement Advertisement A flickr board on the topic has many examples, complete with behind-the-scenes photos and links to tutorials, on how you can create levitation.1. You can use a wire, fishing line or something similar and smudge it out of the photo. 2. You can have your subject leap and take a photo at the time of zero gravity. (just be careful!) 3. You can combine ideas 1 & 2. 4. You can plant a camera on a tripod, toss objects into a single scene one at a time, and then combine the pieces of these scenes in photoshop so everything is floating in one frame.My only real Photoshop restriction here is that you not pull in objects from various locations and use digital tools to drag and drop them into a new frame. Everything must be captured in situ. Sponsored The camera should be the tool tricking us. Post production should only exacerbate the camera's effect.The Rules - READ THESE, SOME HAVE CHANGED1. Submissions need to be your own. 2. Photos must be taken since this contest was announced. 3. Explain, briefly, the equipment, settings, technique and story behind shot. 4. Email submissions to email@example.com, not me. 5. Include 930px wide image (200KB or less) AND a 2560x1600 sized in email. I know that your photo may not fall into those exact high rez dimensions, so whatever native resolution you're using is fine. 6. One submission per person. 7. Use the proper SUBJECT line in your email (more info on that below) Send your best photo by Monday, February 7th at 8AM Eastern to email@example.com with "Levitation" in the subject line. Save your files as JPGs, and use a FirstnameLastnameLevitation.jpg (960px wide) and FirstnameLastnameLevitationWallpaper.jpg (2560px wide) naming conventions. Include your shooting summary (camera, lens, ISO, etc) in the body of the email along with a story of the shot in a few sentences. And don't skip this story part because it's often the most enjoyable part for us all beyond the shot itself!My new project Philanthroper is a daily deal site, but instead of selling you something, we're presenting you with the chance to donate $1 to a new nonprofit every day.Reply98 repliesLeave a reply

In this economy, we're all making cutbacks. Heck, I didn't even turn my air conditioning all during the hot, humid New York City weekend.
It turns out Indian airline, GoAir, is also looking to cut back on costs. According to reports, the airline plans to recruit female flight attendants from now on because women are on average 15-20 kilos lighter than men.
According to the airline, each kilo on a plane costs $0.05 per flying hour. The airline hopes to save up to $500,000 annually with the new policy.
GoAir currently employs 330 flight attendants, 132 of which are male. The men will not lose their jobs, but moving forward the airline will look into hiring light females.
Giorgio De Roni, GoAir's CEO, said the company will take other weight-reducing actions as well. The airline will no longer be filling portable water tanks to capacity and the size of in flight magazines have been reduced.
According to the Times of India, GoAir plans to introduce approximately 80 new aircrafts over the next seven years. The company also plans on recruiting about 2,000 flight attendants and pilots.

The City of Bristol is scheduled to start reconstructing a portion of the Willis Street roadway surface starting Thursday, July 25. Work will consist of pulverizing the existing pavement, recycling the material to create a new roadway base, re-grading the roadway surface and installing new asphalt and curbing.
The construction will start approximately 200 linear feet south of the Willis Street / Northmont Road Extension intersection and extend approximately 2,600 linear feet south towards the Bristol / Wolcott town line. The work will take approximately three weeks to complete.
Residents are advised that the portion of driveways located within the city roadway right of way will be disturbed and reconstructed as part of the project. Once construction is complete, the city will restore affected areas by loaming, seeding, repairing walkways, and driveway aprons.
There may be minor traffic delays during construction, however the road will remain open for mail delivery, emergency vehicles, and local traffic at all times. Temporary "No Parking" signs will be posted as needed during construction.
If you should have questions or concerns about this project, contact Public Works at (860)584-6297.

Know What Your Charity Does Before You Invest

That's why I really hate the "pink" movement. The Susan G. Komen organization is awesome, but it's so easy for retails to just slap a coat of pink on any old thing and women will snap it up because they don't even bother to read if it there are even any proceeds going to charity.
It also makes me feel dirty whenever I see something cute and pink and want to buy it, but know I'll just be funding the "Make them buy pink sh**" machine. - November 15, 2010 at 10:29 AM

I agree with Yllsa. We are 'very aware' of breast cancer. Why isn't more of the money spent on research and solutions instead of the 'pink' marketing machine? A recent article in the LA Times stated that all the 'pink' awareness campaigns have pretty much no influence on reduction of breast cancer deaths (a fraction of 1% since campaign started).
That's a pretty bad return on all the money spent. Companies selling 'pink' items get away with donating as little as 1 cent per item sold and can also sell pink items after their pledge to donate runs out.
Bottom line: buying pink stuff does pretty much nothing to reduce breast cancer deaths. We're once again just suckers for the big corporations that make money on us dummies. - November 15, 2010 at 9:44 PM

Please join us as we welcome Arthur Brooks in Birmingham on Wednesday, June 20, 2012
Arthur C. Brooks is president of the American Enterprise Institute, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank. He is the author of eight books, including "The Battle: How the Fight Between Free Enterprise and Big Government Will Shape America's Future" and "Gross National Happiness." His newest book, "The Road to Freedom," was released May 8, 2012.

About the book
American policy is at a crossroads. Though 70 percent of Americans claim to love American free enterprise, the size and scope of government continues to grow. This is not a result of Americans loving free enterprise nostalgically, as the Left asserts. Rather, America's slide toward statism is a direct result of limited government advocates failing to make the moral case for free enterprise, leaving citizens with a choice between materialistic, data-driven arguments from the Right and the morally based but failing policies of the Left. Arthur Brooks will argue that humans are inherently moral beings and that the free enterprise system, more than any other system, aligns with the morals and values all of us hold dear.

The Shelby County Fiscal Court has released funds that will go toward the renovation of the senior citizens facility.
Shelby County Judge-Executive Rob Rothenburger said he had set aside $50,000 for a new center last year, but, due to an economic downturn, building a new center is not possible at this time. So, at the request of Rusty Newton, executive director of the Multi-Purpose Community Action Agency, he decided to let the senior center have the money anyway to renovate their current facility instead.

I've never shot a recurve, but....
Draw weight alone is not a good indicator of penetration potential, especially when we are talking minimums.
Bow power whether it's measured as KE or momentum is influenced by draw weight, draw length, bow effiency, and arrow weight.
If you want a more reliable minimum I would look toward either a minimum KE or momentum output.
My wife shoots a compound, but her "bow power" represents a good minimum for whitetails at 20 yards.
40# peak weight with a 25.5'' draw shoots a 380 gr. arrow @ 213 FPS
KE = 38# (213x213x380/450240=)
Momentum = .36 (213x380/225120=)
If your recurve or compound produces approximately those minimums you should have ample power.
Paper tune, try different broadheads, fletching, or shafts; don't move the sight for broadheads. Hidden Content
Mathews Drenalin LD 30" draw 61# 413 gr. arrow @ 273 fps / 68# KE / .50 momentum
Mathews Drenalin LD 30'' draw 59# 325 gr. arrow @ 292 fps / 62# KE / .42 momentum
If your looking to shoot a recurve, you have some homework to do. Check out the traditional forum, it's loaded with good information.
I personaly only shoot recurves and would never use anything less than 40lbs.@ 28" but that is just me.
If you want a answer from a very knowledgeable archer go to the trad. section here on AT and ask VIPER for help, he has a book out and I am sure he would be happy to help.
You could also go to leather wall or trad gang? and ask for some help.
I shoot 50lbs but I have a 27.5" draw. Have no prolems with whitetales.
For years the best selling poundage was 45 @ 28". That will be plenty if you tune your bow well and use a good, sharp head.
i think in NY you have to pull 45# to hunt deer. so for me i think i would need a 55# recurve because of my little arms.
if you have a 28+ dl than a 45# will work great
Hunt/target: Bowtech Insanity, MBG accent w/ vengeance head and dovetail, limb driver, Paradigm carbon hammer and QD, Black eagle
trad: tradtech titan II w/ blackmax carbon extreme limbs , Hunterbows 3 piece hybrid longbow
I'd say my minimum would be 40#. However, my lowest # recurve currently is 55@29.
There's no definitive answer of course. The more bow weight, the heavier the arrow, and the slimmer the broadhead, the better the penetration for a given hit. It's a matter of what weight you can shoot well and the limitations you're willing to accept. I've hunted with selfbacked wooden bows exclusively for the last decade, and prefer weights from the high 50's through mid 60's, with heavy arrows. But if push came to shove, I'd have no qualms about using a 30#-er with 300-400 grn arrows and 2 blade heads. Perhaps less. The arrow only has to penetrate a few inches to destroy vital organs. On the other hand, if the shot goes bad and bone or dense muscle is encountered, there may not be enough oompf for the arrow to reach the vital organs. So it's a balancing act, sort of a sliding scale on what you can live with.
I appreciate all the info, I will continue to research this.

Holmesburg school teacher Erica Ann Ginnetti was facing as much as seven to 14 years in state prison for having sex with a 17-year-old Lower Moreland High School student, but a Montgomery County judge gave her a break on Friday.
A Northeast mother of three who taught math at Lower Moreland High School seduced and had sex with a 17-year-old student last year, according to felony charges filed on Friday by the Montgomery County district attorney.
At her sentencing hearing, Ginnetti reportedly told the judge that she had repaired her relationship with her husband and children and that she had been working as a fitness instructor.

Szechuan Chicken
Szechuan Chicken is the Chinese chicken preparation belonging to the Sichuan Province of South Western China. This style of Chinese cooking is characterized by hot, spicy, strong, bold flavours owing to the use of chillies and the tingling flavour of Sichuan peppercorns, an indigenous ingredient with a peppery citrusy flavour. In order to prepare Szechuan Chicken, the chicken is boiled or oil-poached before cooking as this process makes the chicken very soft and tender. Sesame oil and Soy Sauce are the flavoring ingredients used in the recipe. Popular western variations of this pan-asian preparation include dishes like Szechuan Chicken Fajita and Szechuan Pork.
People of Sichuan are fond of their food that are known for their sharp, sizzling flavours. The seven base flavours most prominent in Szechuan cuisine are hot, sweet, sour, pungent, salty, bitter and aromatic. Szechuan cuisine employs the use of foods preserved through salting, dehydrating and pickling processes, involving a good deal of the signature usage of Sichuan peppercorns.
Szechuan Chicken is a chinese dish that is quite fiery in flavor. It is a must-have for those who love a bit of spice in their food. Szechuan Chicken is a far cry from the usual chinese dishes which are usually sweetish and mild in flavour. Szechuan Chicken consists of boneless chicken marinated and then stir-fried with vegetables like red peppers, carrots, zucchini, mushrooms, cabbage etc, hot sauce, soy sauce, a bit of sugar and corn starch. Szechuan Chicken can be served with white rice or noodles.
Ingredients and Preparation
Other than the Szechuan peppercorns, soy sauce, Chinese cooking wine or sherry, white vinegar, chilli sauce, boneless chicken breast fillets, trimmed and cut into thin strips, peanut oil, corn flour, red capsicum, carrot, green onions and sugar make up the other ingredients.
Chicken is marinated in soy sauce, Chinese cooking wine, salt, freshly ground Sichuan peppercorns. In a wok with little peanut oil, the stripped or diced chicken pieces are stir fried on a high flame till golden brown. The browned chicken is set aside. In the remaining oil, diced capsicum, carrot, onion, scallions are stir fried and then the chicken is returned back into the wok followed by cornflour slurry for thickening, vinegar, sugar, chilli sauce and fresh ground peppercorns. The greens of scallions are last added before serving hot with steamed white rice or jasmine rice.
Nutritive Analysis
A serving size of ~240 g of Szechuan Chicken would provide-
• Total calorie content of 331 calories of which calories from fat are 56.
• Total fat of 6.20 g of which saturated fat is 1.7 g, and Cholesterol content of 146 mg.
• Sodium content of 1273 mg and Potassium content of 426 mg.
• Total carbohydrate of 10.4 g of which dietary fibre accounts for 0.7 g and sugar 2.0 g with the other carbohydrate components making up the rest.
• Protein value of 54.8 g.
• It also supplies 13 % of the dv (daily value) for iron and 4 % of the dv for calcium; $ % Vitamin A and 5 % Vitamin C.
• The estimated % calorie distribution is 13 % from Fats, 11 % from carbohydrates and 76 % from proteins.
Szechuan chicken is relatively low in sugar, high in vitamins B6 and niacin, high in mineral phosphorus, calcium and quite high in selenium which
forms part of an important antioxidant complex which protects from free radical damage of internal tissues.
Nutritional Improvements
1. Use of fish in this dish can increase the omega-3 fatty acid content which has numerous health benefits in reducing heart disease risk, improving joint mobility by providing lubrication; maintaining healthy skin and vision and protecting from Alzheimers Disease among other functions.
2. Sesame and peanut oils sesame seeds, cho,pped walnuts, chopped peanuts, provide unsaturated fats that help to lower the LDL or bad cholesterol proving to be helpful for persons with high risk of coronary artery disease.

Business roundup: One last toast for 5 T's Restaurant & Lounge
East Wenatchee
One last toast for 5 T's Restaurant & Lounge
Here's one more "t" for 5 T's Restaurant & Lounge — a sad toodle-loo.
The food-and-drink fixture in East Wenatchee's old downtown (859 Valley Mall Parkway) closed its doors Aug. 24 after nearly seven decades in business, a victim of the unstable economy and rising liquor and food prices.
Margie Nash worked there for nearly 24 years as bartender, waitress and — for the past eight years — owner and chief bottle washer. She said the closing night party drew loyal customers from around the region, even from the Seattle area. "It was packed," she said. "It was the biggest night I've seen in my 24 years here. A wonderful send-off from a bunch of wonderful folks."
Details of the restaurant's origins are sketchy, but Nash said it opened as the Sundown Room sometime in the 1940s. Around 1970 or '71, the restaurant was bought by John Tontz, who ran it with his wife and three kids — thus the name "5 T's" was born.
Affectionately called "T's" by regulars, early-risers loved the place for its 6 a.m. breakfasts. Night owls loved it for its 2 a.m. weekend closing times and, said one online reviewer, for the "stiffest damn drinks you've ever seen." In recent years, 5 T's became a karaoke hotspot for amateur crooners.
Nash isn't sure what the future of the place will be. It's likely that the owner of the building will put it up for sale. "As for me?" she said. "I'll look for a job and see where things go from there."
Wistful, Nash added, "I'm going to miss our loyal customers, miss them all like family. We had a lot of good times here over the years."
Home sales robust through August
Wenatchee-market home sales stayed strong through summer, even though prices rose and inventory fell.
Pacific Appraisal Associates, a local appraisal and consulting firm, keeps track of market stats on a monthly basis. Here are some key numbers through August:
Dollar volume for homes sold in the Wenatchee market (Wenatchee, East Wenatchee, Malaga, Orondo and Rock Island) was up 26 percent over the first eight months of 2012 to hit $134.7 million.
Numbers of homes sold was up 21 percent to 557 from 462 in the first eight months of last year.
Manufactured home receipts were up 73 percent to hit $9.4 million on sales of 82 units, up 61 percent over last year.
The average home price has risen 4 percent to $241,929 from $231,707 last year. The median price has also risen 4 percent to $214,950 from $205,950.
Dollar volume of listings rose 14 percent to $256.5 million over last year with 917 homes listed.
Homes on the market in August fell 11 percent to 358 from 404 in August 2012.
Building permits for single-family homes have jumped 40 percent to hit 127 from 91 last year.

InDemand ranks again as fast-growing company
Wenatchee's InDemand Interpreting, is still growing at a phenomenal rate, according to Inc. Magazine's annual list of the 5000 fastest-growing privately-owned companies in the nation.
The company, which provides medical interpreting in 180 languages, has about $4 million in annual sales and has grown about 550 percent in the last three years. That's down from 1,200 percent growth in the three years prior to 2012, but the health company is still kicking some serious gluteus maximus.
On the 2013 Inc. 5000 list, here's how InDemand's numbers translate among fast-growing companies: No. 821 on the list of 5,000 nationwide, No. 63 on the list of health companies nationwide, No. 22 on the list of all companies statewide, No. 3 on the list of health companies statewide.
"We continue to develop innovative language services focused on the healthcare industry," said Daniel Pirestani, InDemand's founder. The company has specialized in helping non-English speaking clients and deaf and hard-of-hearing patients.
Skin care company helps save black cats
No, you don't use Coconut Lime Face Scrub on cats, but buying some will help a few of the little furballs. Black cats, to be specific.
Jess Piestrup and Whitney Acheson, owners of Moody Sisters Organic Skincare in Cashmere, say they'll donate 30 percent of the profits from the sale of that product to help finance a cage for a black cat at the Wenatchee Valley Humane Society.
"They're just as fun and totally loving as any cat can be but they're not adopted as much as other cats," said Acheson. She thinks some of it may be superstition but "they're also not as colorful so people don't pick them out in a group."
Humane Society officials have said that's true. "They stay the longest," said shelter worker Karen Headlee in a 2011 interview. "It's the same with dogs — anything black tends to stay in shelters longer. They're not as flashy so they don't get noticed."
Piestrup and Acheson chose a black cat as part of their business logo so it seemed only natural to do something to help the less popular-colored cats, they said.

With the recent chatter about the U.S. debt ceiling, the possibility of a default, and a credit ratings downgrade for the U.S., it's easy to want to tune out the noise. Many people have the misconception that the whole situation doesn't affect the average American; the world of high finance is so far removed from their world as to not have an impact on their way of life. Nothing could be further from the truth. Let's take a look at how government bonds tie all the way from Wall Street to Main Street.
When the government needs to borrow money, it cannot resource a local bank branch for a loan. To borrow money, our government sells bonds to investors. These investors are mostly foreign central banks and large investment institutions. The investors buy the bonds which gives money to the government. The government pays the investor back their original investment, plus interest, over time. The interest is based on both the market conditions at the time and the creditworthiness of the government (loan rates are determined by the borrower's credit score).
In the case of the U.S., the government's credit rating is AAA (pronounced "triple-A") which is the highest rating possible. For this reason, the U.S. government pays astonishingly low interest rates. At the time of this writing, the interest rate on a 10-year U.S. treasury bond is 3.03%. The high U.S. credit rating is currently under review by many of the credit ratings agencies. Even without a government default, many agencies are considering downgrading the U.S. credit rating simply because our government's current spending path is completely unsustainable. If the U.S. credit rating is downgraded, then the U.S. will pay higher interest rates to attract investors to purchase their bonds.
The U.S. bond interest rate forms a foundation for all other interest rates. In other words, the higher the interest rate on U.S. bonds, the higher the interest rate will be for all lines of credit. This is called a direct correlation. The U.S. will pay higher interest in order to get investors to buy their bonds; therefore, U.S. citizens will see their loan rates go up. For example, the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate is typically, but not always, about 1.7% above what the government pays to borrow money. If the government pays a higher interest rate on U.S. bonds, then mortgage rates and other loan rates will increase.
This trickle-down effect could be seen throughout our economy. From the homeowner looking for a mortgage, to the small business owner looking to expand, a shopper looking for a new television, or even the farmer who needs a loan to get through the growing season, credit is the oil that lubricates our economy. Additionally, if the U.S. credit rating is downgraded, we could soon be paying higher prices for all purchases. It won't matter how high an individual's credit score is or how many bills he or she has paid on time, that person will still be subject to the rising tide of interest rates. A rising tide lifts all boats and this tide may be coming as we speak.

Framingham should be ashamed of itself. Yesterday, only 10 percent turnout was recorded in the election. Increasingly, a smaller and smaller number of townspeople participate in these elections. This is not good.
Framingham's elections should be held at the same time as state and or federal elections. This would certainly result in greater interest and larger voter turnout. Additionally, Framingham should opt for a city style government with a strong generally elected mayor and city council. These elected officials should then appoint the various town boards and agencies to make the decisions which affect the town as a whole and some neighborhoods in particular. If the decisions made are onerous, the voters can throw the bums out and vote in new people. I do not see elected official accountability in any other way.

Welcome to Camden County, NJ
Camden County, one of twenty-one counties that make up New Jersey, is located on the banks of the Delaware River. Because of its proximity to Philadelphia, it is considered part of the Philly metro area. As a result, many commuters relocate to Camden County, either to work across the river or in one of the county's three major employment fields: healthcare, government, and education. Both Camden Community College and Rutgers University-Camden call the county home.
More than 500,000 people live in Camden County, almost 80,000 of them in the county seat of Camden. And many more choose to relocate one of Camden County's 37 municipalities each year. Cherry Hill, one of the largest, was ranked by CNN Money not only as the 8th safest place to live but the 47th best place to live. This is due in large part to the township's 19 award-winning schools, 225-acre park, and the popular Cherry Hill Mall.

Still chasing bugs and watching your code deteriorate? Think TDD is only for desktop or web apps? It's not: TDD is for you, the embedded C programmer. TDD helps you prevent defects and build software with a long useful life. This is the first book to teach the hows and whys of TDD for C programmers.
Test-Driven Development for Embedded C
by James W. Grenning
About this Title
Pages: 354
Published: 2011-04-06
Release: P3.0 (2014-09-09)
TDD is a modern programming practice that all C developers need to know. It's a different way to program—unit tests are written in a tight feedback loop with the production code. You get valuable feedback every few minutes. You find mistakes before they become bugs. You get early warning of design problems. You get immediate notification of side-effect defects. You get to spend more time adding valuable features to your product.
James is one of the few experts in applying TDD to embedded C. With his years of training, coaching, and practicing TDD in C, C++, Java, and C# he will lead you from being a novice in TDD to using the techniques that few have mastered.
This book is full of code written for embedded C programmers. You don't just see the end product, you see how code and tests evolve. James leads you through the thought process and decisions made each step of the way. You'll learn techniques for test-driving code right next to the hardware, and you'll learn design principles and how to apply them to C to keep your code clean and flexible.
To run the examples in this book, you will need a C/C++ development environment on your machine, and the GNU GCC tool chain or Microsoft Visual Studio for C++.

If you are flying off of water I would think the tape would come off. I would just remove the covering from the bottom if that is all that is going bad and recover it. Ultracote is a better covering than Monokote, easier to use is stronger and shrinks better. The only thing wrong with two layers of covering is you will probably end up with air bubbles because of trapped air between the 2 layers and it will add unwanted weight. One layer of Ultracote on the bottom of my flying boat works fine.

double post sorry.

Box tape will be fine. Just be sure to wrap the tape over the edges of the bottom onto the sides a little. Test the tape first. I have seen at least one brand of box/shipping tape that is not waterproof.
I left the covering on and just used west system epoxy and some fiberglass on the inside of the front - before the step to reinforce the hull. The weight is insignificant.
If you DO use tape, get the good stuff at a real shipping or office supply store. Cheepo stuff at WallyWorld has much less adhesion than the good stuff. Start at the rear and work toward the front so any seams will be shingled appropriately.
I was flying my Telemaster on foam floats one day, overshot the landing and hit the riprap. Granite is stronger than balsa and styrofoam. It Gashed up the bottom of one float pretty badly. But since they were foam floats and could not sink, I just taped over the damage and kept flying.

Gilbert's syndrome (GS) is a common genetic liver disorder found in 3-12% of the population.[1][2][3][4][5]
It produces elevated levels of unconjugated bilirubin in the bloodstream (hyperbilirubinemia), but this normally has no serious consequences, although mild jaundice may appear under conditions of exertion or stress.
The cause of this hyperbilirubinemia is the reduced activity of the enzyme glucuronyltransferase,[6][7] which conjugates bilirubin and a few other lipophilic molecules. Conjugation renders the bilirubin water-soluble, after which it is excreted in bile into the duodenum. There are a number of variants of the gene for the enzyme, so the genetic basis of the condition is complex.
Signs and symptoms[edit]
Gilbert's syndrome produces an elevated level of unconjugated bilirubin in the bloodstream, but normally has no serious consequences. Mild jaundice may appear under conditions of exertion, stress, fasting, and infections, but the condition is otherwise usually asymptomatic.[8][9] Severe cases are seen by yellowing of the skin tone and yellowing of the sclera in the eye.
GS has been reported to possibly contribute to an accelerated onset of neonatal jaundice, especially in the presence of increased red blood cell destruction due to diseases such as G6PD deficiency.[10][11] This situation can be especially dangerous if not quickly treated, as the high bilirubin causes irreversible neurological disability in the form of kernicterus.
Detoxification of certain drugs[edit]
The enzymes that are defective in GS - UDP glucuronosyltransferase 1 family, polypeptide A1 (UGT1A1) - are also responsible for some of the liver's ability to detoxify certain drugs. For example, Gilbert's syndrome is associated with severe diarrhea and neutropenia in patients who are treated with irinotecan, which is metabolized by UGT1A1.[12]
While paracetamol (acetaminophen) is not metabolized by UGT1A1,[13] it is metabolized by one of the other enzymes also deficient in some people with GS.[14][15] A subset of people with GS may have an increased risk of paracetamol toxicity.[15][16]
Cardiovascular effects[edit]
Several analyses have found a significantly decreased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) in individuals with GS.[17][18]
Specifically, people with mildly elevated levels of bilirubin (1.1 mg/dl to 2.7 mg/dl) were at lower risk for CAD and at lower risk for future heart disease.[19] These researchers went on to perform a meta-analysis of data available up to 2002, and confirmed the incidence of atherosclerotic disease (hardening of the arteries) in subjects with GS had a close and inverse relationship to the serum bilirubin.[17] This beneficial effect was attributed to bilirubin IXα which is recognised as a potent antioxidant, rather than confounding factors such as high-density lipoprotein levels.[19]
This association was also seen in long-term data from the Framingham Heart Study.[20] Moderately elevated levels of bilirubin in people with GS and the (TA)7/(TA)7 genotype were associated with one-third the risk for both coronary heart disease and cardiovascular disease as compared to those with the (TA)6/(TA)6 genotype (i.e. a normal, nonmutated gene locus).
Platelet counts and MPV are decreased in patients with Gilbert's Syndrome. The elevated levels of bilirubin and decreasing levels of MPV and CRP in Gilbert's syndrome patients may have an effect on the slowing down of the atherosclerotic process.[21]
Signs and symptoms[edit]
Symptoms, whether connected or not to GS, have been reported in a subset of those affected: feeling tired all the time (fatigue), difficulty maintaining concentration, unusual patterns of anxiety, loss of appetite, nausea, abdominal pain, loss of weight, itching (with no rash), and others,[22] but scientific studies found no clear pattern of adverse symptoms related to the elevated levels of unconjugated bilirubin in adults. However, other substances glucuronidized by the affected enzymes in Gilbert's syndrome sufferers could theoretically, at their toxic levels, cause these symptoms.[23][24] (see below). Consequently, debate exists about whether GS should be classified as a disease.[23][25] However, Gilbert's syndrome has been linked to an increased risk of gallstones.[22][26]
Gilbert's syndrome is a phenotypic effect, characterized by mild jaundice due to increased unconjugated bilirubin, that arises from several different genotypic variants of the gene for the enzyme responsible for changing bilirubin to the conjugated form.
Gilbert's syndrome is characterized by a 70–80% reduction in the glucuronidation activity of the enzyme, (UGT1A1). The UGT1A1 gene is located on human chromosome 2.[27]
More than 100 variants of the UGT1A1 gene are known, designated as UGT1A1*n (where n is the general chronological order of discovery), either of the gene itself or of its promoter region. UGT1A1 is associated with a TATA box promoter region; this region most commonly contains the genetic sequence A(TA6)TAA; this variant accounts for about 50% of alleles in many populations. However, several allelic polymorphic variants of this region occur, the most common of which results from adding another dinucleotide repeat TA to the promoter region, resulting in A(TA7)TAA, which is called UGT1A1*28; this common variant accounts for about 40% of alleles in some populations, but is seen less often, around 3% of alleles, in Southeast and East Asian people and Pacific Islanders.
In most populations, Gilbert's syndrome is most commonly associated with homozygous A(TA7)TAA alleles.[28][29][30] In 94% of GS cases, two other glucuronosyltransferase enzymes, UGT1A6 (rendered 50% inactive) and UGT1A7 (rendered 83% ineffective), are also affected.
However, Gilbert's syndrome can arise without TATA box promoter polymorphic mutations; in some populations, particularly healthy Southeast and East Asians, Gilbert's syndrome is more often a consequence of heterozygote missense mutations (such as Gly71Arg also known as UGT1A1*6, Tyr486Asp also known as UGT1A1*7, Pro364Leu also known as UGT1A1*73) in the actual gene coding region,[16] which may be associated with significantly higher bilirubin levels.[16]
Because of its effects on drug and bilirubin breakdown and because of its genetic inheritance, Gilbert's syndrome can be classed as a minor inborn error of metabolism.
People with GS predominantly have elevated unconjugated bilirubin, while conjugated bilirubin is usually within the normal range and is less than 20% of the total. Levels of bilirubin in GS patients are reported to be from 20 μM to 90 μM (1.2 to 5.3 mg/dl)[29] compared to the normal amount of < 20 μM. GS patients have a ratio of unconjugated/conjugated (indirect/direct) bilirubin commensurately higher than those without GS.
The level of total bilirubin is often further increased if the blood sample is taken after fasting for two days,[31] and a fast can, therefore, be useful diagnostically. A further conceptual step that is rarely necessary or appropriate is to give a low dose of phenobarbital:[32] the bilirubin will decrease substantially.
Tests can also detect DNA mutations of UGT1A1 by polymerase chain reaction or DNA fragment sequencing.
Differential diagnosis[edit]
While Gilbert's syndrome is considered harmless, it is clinically important because it may give rise to a concern about a blood or liver condition, which could be more dangerous. However, these conditions have additional indicators:
- Hemolysis can be excluded by a full blood count, haptoglobin, lactate dehydrogenase levels, and the absence of reticulocytosis (elevated reticulocytes in the blood would usually be observed in haemolytic anaemia).
- Viral hepatitis can be excluded by negative blood samples for antigens specific to the different hepatitis viruses.
- Cholestasis can be excluded by normal levels of bile acids in plasma, the absence of lactate dehydrogenase, low levels of conjugated bilirubin, and ultrasound scan of the bile ducts.
- More severe types of glucuronyl transferase disorders such as Crigler–Najjar syndrome (types I and II) are much more severe, with 0–10% UGT1A1 activity, with sufferers at risk of brain damage in infancy (type I) and teenage years (type II).
- Dubin–Johnson syndrome and Rotor syndrome are rarer autosomal recessive disorders characterized by an increase of conjugated bilirubin.
- In GS, unless another disease of the liver is also present, the liver enzymes ALT/SGPT and AST/SGOT, as well as albumin, are within normal ranges.
Where jaundice is an issue, enzyme inductors such as carbamazepine and phenobarbital can reduce unconjugated bilirubin levels and may relieve other associated symptoms of Gilbert's syndrome[citation needed]. Furthermore, it can be minimized by slightly modifying the person's diet[citation needed].
Gilbert's syndrome was first described by French gastroenterologist Augustin Nicolas Gilbert and co-workers in 1901.[33][34] In German literature, it is commonly associated with Jens Einar Meulengracht.[35]
Alternative, less common names for this disorder include:
- Familial benign unconjugated hyperbilirubinaemia
- Constitutional liver dysfunction
- Familial non-hemolytic non-obstructive jaundice
- Icterus intermittens juvenilis
- Low-grade chronic hyperbilirubinemia
- Unconjugated benign bilirubinemia

Sigh. I mean, what can you say? Maybe, with more welfare help from the taxpayers of the City of Austin, Governor Perry's government wants to take credit for creating 203 new jobs by giving $300,000 of welfare money from the taxpayers of Texas to Office Depot? But Perry says government doesn't create jobs.

Color us embarrassed … for everyone. On Wednesday morning's 'Good Morning America,' political pundit-turned-morning host George Stephanopoulos received a very, ahem, special 49th birthday present from his wife Ali Wentworth: an on-air striptease.
The couple's public private moment came as actress-comedian Wentworth, dressed in disguise as former 'GMA' co-host Diane Sawyer, appeared on the show. She ripped off her Sawyer-esque wig, climbed on the anchor's desk, and shouted to her hubby, "George, I never ever ever get to see you at home! I love you, I shaved my legs and made you a steak. Happy birthday baby!"
She then explained, "They made me keep my clothes on."
After the awkward uproar of laughs, the camera cut to a confused Diane Sawyer (the real one, who was playing along), at the ABC World News anchor desk, who then wished her 'GMA' replacement a much more subdued but thoughtful birthday greeting.
Echoing the thoughts of many in the audience and watching at home, Stephanopoulos responded by giggling, "How am I gonna top this at 50?"

CINCINNATI — Justin Upton extended his hitting streak to 12 games with a bases-loaded single during Atlanta's decisive third inning, and the Braves extended their offensive resurgence with an 8-0 victory over the fading Cincinnati Reds on Thursday night.
Atlanta put it away early, sending 11 batters to the plate in the third for five runs. Jason Heyward got it started with a single off David Holmberg (0-1) and drew a bases-loaded walk that finished the rally. Upton singled home a pair of runs during the inning and later added a sacrifice fly.
Julio Teheran (12-9) went six innings and allowed four hits by the Reds, who have lost six in a row.
The Braves have won six of their last seven games, scoring at least seven runs four times. They remain seven games behind Washington in the NL East, the product of their 15-18 mark since the All-Star break.
Cincinnati fell a season-high 10 1/2 games back — its biggest deficit since the end of the 2011 season — with its 11th loss in its last 13 games. The Reds are 10-23 since the All-Star break, tumbling out of playoff contention.
The Reds' bullpen has been their biggest problem lately, losing 10 games since the All-Star break. They overhauled it before the game, only to watch their starter fail to go three innings.
Holmberg retired only eight batters. The left-hander gave up six runs and five hits, walked four and hit two batters in his second start for Cincinnati. He also lasted 2 2/3 innings and gave up five runs during a 6-5 win over the Cubs on July 8.
Andrelton Simmons hit his seventh homer in the second inning to put Atlanta ahead. He also drove in a run with a groundout.
Skip Schumaker pitched the ninth for Cincinnati, walking one and throwing a fastball that hit 90 mph on the radar gun. It was the utility player's fourth career pitching performance.
Trainer's room
Braves: Manager Fredi Gonzalez was waiting for a medical update on right-hander Shae Simmons, who had to quit throwing at Triple-A Gwinnett because the back of his pitching shoulder was bothering him. He had been pitching well on his rehab assignment until the shoulder bothered him on Wednesday.
Reds: Manager Bryan Price said 1B Joey Votto has started jogging, but isn't doing any baseball-related activities. They still hope to have him back sometime in September. Votto has been on the DL since July 8 with strained muscles above his left knee.
Up next
Braves: LHP Mike Minor (5-8) beat the Reds in both of his starts against them last season, allowing only three runs in 14 innings.
Reds: RHP Mat Latos (4-3) is 2-0 with a 2.70 ERA in his last four starts. He's making his 13th start in a season cut short by two injuries.

By Ingunn Brandvoll, Norwegian Church Aid
It is cold and rainy in the Bekaa Valley! On our way from Beirut to a small town on the other side of the mountain, we pass frosty fog, heaps of rain and snow. Lebanese snow! I am on my way together with colleagues from the International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC) to provide blankets and heaters to people, who had to flee the war in Syria.
So far two million Syrians have been displaced, and more than 600,000 have fled to neighboring countries. Of these, 195,000 people have become refugees in Lebanon, a country of only 4.1 million inhabitants. During December, some 1,500 Syrians crossed each day the border between Syria and Lebanon. They came to what may be safety, but also to miserable living conditions.
Sabeen Abdulsater is IOCC's Project Officer for the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon. She visits many of the Syrian refugee families. She tells: "When the refugees reach Lebanon, they face problems with finding a place to stay. They often stay 2-3 nights by the road before they find something. Once they have found a place, they face the challenge of keeping warm as they do not have heaters and lack money for fuel".
Being from a cold country myself, I can only imagine the torment of days and nights of feeling cold to the bones. However, the challenge on such a rainy day, is not only keeping warm, but also staying dry. "People, who cannot afford to pay rent, use all kinds of materials and waste to build temporary shelters. The paper and nylon from the mega-advertisement bill-boards along the main road from Beirut to Damascus are popular materials", explains Sabeen and continues: "Still these "tents" are both cold and humid with rain seeping through". She tells about a family she met one month ago: "The family had three children between one and half, and nine years old, and the mother was expecting the fourth in two-three weeks time. The tent was very muddy, because of the rain, and the family had no heater, no winter clothes and no blankets".
It is families like this, we hope to help today. I look around the big school hall, where we are going to distribute blankets and heaters. I see people of all sorts of backgrounds. Common for all of them is what they have lost in Syria, their homes, and that coming here is not something they are proud of. They come, because of need. Some have winter clothes, but others do not have a warm sweater or jacket. Some are obviously cold, blowing warm air into their frozen hands. Still many nod politely to me as a greeting and some even share a smile.
When Sabeen says: "It is very important to stand by these people and to help them", I can only agree. However, as Sabeen adds: "Lebanon does not have the capacity to carry this load alone!" It makes me wondered what my own country, oil-rich Norway, would have done, if the same number of refugees as the population of Trondheim had arrived on our borders in just six months.
The United Church of Christ is supporting the relief work of our partners International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC) and Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Antioch (GOPA) in Syria.

Tubal Ligation Reversal09/05/2008 |
I`m a healthy 23 years old whose had a tubal ligation in `07, after my third daughter. If I remember correctly, I was cauterized, I think, three times on each side. With tubal ligation reversal, what are the chances of becoming pregnant?
Your success rates would depend upon the location of ligation, as well as amount of tube remaining following tubal reversal. In general, success rates tend to range between 50 and 70%.

"The Avengers" hits theaters in North America today and besides probably breaking box office records, it seems to be the rare summer blockbuster that is loved by pretty much everyone. Critics and fanboys alike have, for the most part, aligned in their praise for Joss Whedon's superhero team up. And while there have been a few dissenting voices, one of the most prominent is New York Times critic A.O. Scott — and Samuel L. Jackson doesn't like it.
In his review, Scott says that he essentially didn't really get into the big set pieces and wishes there were more character moments, and ultimately, he wanted better motivation for why these superheroes do what they do. "…for all their maverick swagger, the Avengers are dutiful corporate citizens, serving a conveniently vague set of principles. Are they serving private interests, big government, their own vanity, or what?" he asked, while adding that in his opinion, movies in this genre tend to mostly be empty spectacle designed to line studio bank accounts. Which is hardly a shocking statement to make.
Enter Samuel L. Jackson, who read the review and promptly lost it on Twitter. "#Avengers fans,NY Times critic AO Scott needs a new job! Let's help him find one! One he can ACTUALLY do!" he tweeted. Called out for perhaps being irrational, Nick Fury took it even further, adding, "That is My Opinion! @TheFilmNest & what's irrational about it? They aren't going to fire his jaundiced ass & You & I Know It!"
It's plainly bizarre that Jackson is gunning for the guy's job and we'd hardly call Scott's review hostile. It was his take, evenly explained, and hell, he compared the best moments of the film to "Rio Bravo." But, you would think that after doing a string of dreck like "The Samaritan," "Meeting Evil" and the straight-to-DVD "Arena," Jackson might be used to some criticism. This whole thing is just kind of random and absurd, particularly since The New York Times Magazine just ran a gigantic profile on Jackson.
As for Scott, he's pretty philosophical about the whole thing. "I don't think Mr. Jackson is actually trying to get me fired," he told E!. "Actors and filmmakers sometimes respond angrily to negative reviews—I can't say I blame them—and Twitter is a relatively new and very public forum for that. Rallying 'fans' against skeptical critics is a time-honored tactic, and I don't take it personally."
"If I'm going to dish out criticism, I should be able to take it," he continued. "But I must say that I was touched at how many people on Twitter had my back, and more importantly how many were eager to defend the idea that honest and independent criticism has a place, even when the targets are superhero blockbusters and big movie stars. As usual with Twitter, there was a mixture of silliness and insight that made for a fun afternoon." Classy guy.
Anyway, the end of the this weekend this will be forgotten and "The Avengers" will be making millions upon millions of dollars. And as for trying to take down the sacred New York Times, no one will ever beat Coach McGuirk on "Home Movies."

Sixty years ago, London publisher Geoffrey Bles first released a revision of four sets of radio talks by an Oxford literature don. The book was called Mere Christianity, and there was nothing "mere" about it. A somewhat disjointed set of C. S. Lewis's views on a wide range of theological, philosophical, and ethical matters, the book became the most important and effective defense of the Christian faith in its century.
As Mere Christianity (henceforth "MC") goes into its seventh decade of publishing success, rivaled still by no other apologetic, it's worth taking a look at its unlikely success.
Why It Shouldn't Have Worked
The first reason why MC should not have worked is rather basic: It doesn't deliver what its title promises. It does not do even what John Stott's classic Basic Christianity does—namely, outline at least the basics of evangelicalism's understanding of the gospel. Given the title's own promise and Lewis's express intent of offering "mere Christianity," we get something substantially less than that, as I think Puritan pastor Richard Baxter, from whom the phrase comes, would affirm.
Furthermore, MC offers not only less than "MC," but also more: Lewis's own opinions about domestic relationships, marriage, and gender; and his particular take on the vexed question of God and time (which, in my view, has powerfully perpetuated Christian Platonism and its "timeless God" among many people who have never read Plato). The danger here is the danger that resides also in C. I. Scofield's dispensationalist notes to his famous Reference Bible. (I recognize that this is perhaps the first time anyone has claimed that ...

Just caugh up wih the last 5 chapters.
I think I cheered when "Uraras lips had a previous engagement ^_^". I like the relatiionship those two have, even if its slow and steady. Urura is probably my favourit character of the manga closely followed by Yamada tho. Miyumara definantly has the best lines in the manga. No question that he contributes to this mangas greatness. Nene (forgot her last name) is starting to have her moments too....... with teh guys ~_^ I always thought the Student prez had the *mind reading* ability. Which made alot of sense when he could tell yamada and Miyumara apart from Itou and Uhara without looking. But in this last chapter I confused why he refered to his secretory? I mean he could of used his mind reading to figure out they were witch hunting, but this part I dont get ? Is he refering to the secretory as being his ninja spy or something ? The council sorta confuses me, and I still beleive Miyumara knows more than he lets on. ps ---- needs more Karen! |

That secretary's the one with the crystal ball in the very first promotion color spread. Not hard to guess what her power is with that symbolism.

I think Noa has gotten her information wrong or been fed false information. Witch powers havent gone strickly to delinquents. Urara, Nene, Meiko. None of these people are delinquents. Urara's already deciphered a reasonable thoery of how the powers are distributed. So her plans alraedy doomed for failure.
And another note, I had always thought Tsubaki wouldnt be the true cuase of the fire. Until the end of the arc, I sorta thought he must of been. They somehow prevented the fire unintensionally I guess. Looking forward to see how Yamada handles this troublesome girl. ps- was Yamada really picked up from under a bridge ? O_o |

Nene is pretty close to being a delinquent with her blackmail and her hide away in the old school she's just real good at putting on a good girl image.
