Speech delivered by Nalin Pekgul, president of the Social Democratic Women, at the Official Memorial Service for Anna Lindh, September 19th, 2003.
When Anna Lindh was elected Chairwoman of the Swedish Social Democratic Youth League she became an example for an entire generation of young Social Democrats.
After the bitter, dogmatic conflicts on self-administration contra state socialism that had been fought in the Social Democratic Youth League in the early 1980s, it was Anna Lindh who succeeded in bringing it all together, and carrying forward the ideological discussion.
She was always prepared to reconsider political means and forms and she did not let the Social Democratic Youth League become an organisation that at all costs defended the great system that Social Democracy had once built up.
But during the years when freedom of choice was on everyone's lips she always wondered whether freedom of choice would really be available to everyone, or only to those who were best at asserting themselves.
In the same way as she wondered whether large systems always took care of those who are most vulnerable.
Anna Lindh was one of the first seriously to draw attention to environmental issues in the Social Democratic Party and in 1994 she became Minister for the Environment.
When I had the privilege of working politically with Anna Lindh, her foresight made a great impression on me.
She saw problems and dealt with them long before anyone had put them on the political agenda.
One issue that we discussed often in recent years, was the fact that there are so many Muslims living in Europe who do not feel that they really belong to the community in the countries where they live.
Anna Lindh regarded Islam as part of European culture and always tried to highlight the progressive and socially conscious Muslim forces, so that religion would not be used to create antagonisms.
As Minister for Foreign Affairs, Anna Lindh was used to co-operating across cultural borders to solve serious problems and she also found ways of combining her commitment to the integration issue in Sweden with world politics.
She became well-known around the world for her fight for human rights and was one of those who realised that human rights also include women's rights.
When she met political leaders of countries in the Middle East, she did not only discuss the situation of women in those countries.
She required that they dissociate themselves from the oppression of women and honour-related violence so clearly that their former compatriots in Sweden got the message.
Apart from the brilliant politician Anna Lindh, I will always carry with me the memory of Anna as a person with a great sense of humour and distance to herself as a person in power.
Anna visited me when I had just given birth to my first child and was concerned that I would not be able to rest as much as I needed.
The following day she sent a list of instructions to my visitors which she jokingly formulated as a Government decision.
Item 1 on the list was: Visitors may only stay five to thirty minutes.
Item 2 on the list was: Visitors should have their own buns with them if they want coffee.
Item 3 was: Visitors should not hug the mother and child so that they catch an infection.
I lost a big sister last week.
The Social Democratic Party lost an ideologist and future leader.
Sweden lost one of its most important political representatives.
The world's oppressed lost a brave champion.

Thanks. Roop |

The weak recovery has been even more anemic than we thought. The news today should be that the nation's growth domestic product fell to 1.3%, which would have been the lowest since the recession ended. Instead, however, revisions to prior quarters' GDP darken the bigger picture. The first quarter, in particular, was just a disaster. Its growth rate was revised from a modest 1.9% to just 0.4%... The recession looks much deeper, with a 8.9% rate of contraction for the U.S. economy in the fourth quarter of 2008, instead of the 6.8% decline previously thought. The quarter that followed also looks worse than first estimated with a 6.7% contraction, instead of 4.9%.

I had my upper and loer abdomin done 5.5 days ago. I would say I have 50% numbness remaining but last night the pain became much worse. It is not the cramping that was described but an intermittent electric pain. It is more surface that deep but by times it is shockingly sever and I have to catch my breath. I am taking 800mg motrin and 100 mg tylenol every 6 hours. I have had cancer and multiple surgeries, I have never taken a narcotic. I have never had this much pain. What now ?
Cool Sculpting Post Op Pain?
Doctor Answers 9
It is not uncommon to have delayed onset pain after a Coolsculpting procedure. This pain is more commonly experienced with abdominal Coolsculpting. It starts 3-5 days after the procedure and can last 10 days or so. This pain is nerve based and is best treated with Neurontin. Lidoderm patches help as well and can be placed directly on the area of pain. Ask your physician to prescribe you some.
Best of luck,

What you're describing is so rare that you should not be asking for internet opinions, but you should see the doctor who supervised the treatment. Is it just a sensory hypersensitivity or is it some more serious unusual complication that hasn't been described? Some patients, although very rare, do have a very significant hypersensitivity for a few weeks preventing them from wearing their clothing comfortably. This is very rare and possibly what you're experiencing. See your doctor for an evaluation and treatment.

It is rare for people to experience the type of pain you are describing. But, many offices providing CoolSculpting will prapare the patient for the possibility of pain. In my practice, my Nurse practitioner or PA can prescribe Neurontin, a non-narcotic pain reliever that can address nerve pain.

Pain after Coolsculpting the lower abdomen is not uncommon. We warn our patients at length to expect this though may only occur 4-5% of the cases. We also treat our patients that have this with a topical lidocaine patch and reassurance that it will resolve.

MILFORD, Conn. (AP) — Thirty-five years after it was found discarded near a Connecticut highway, a baby's gravestone dating to the 19th century is being returned to a Massachusetts cemetery.
Two children found the 30-pound marker in 1977 in Milford, near I-95. It was inscribed "Bertha, Dau. of Wm. & M.J. Phillips, died Dec. 29, 1876. Age 1yr, 6 mos, 20 days."
The headstone then sat in an evidence locker for more than three decades.
Two years ago, a clerk was able to locate a matching death record from Chelsea, Mass., on a genealogy website.
Connecticut officials then contacted the city clerk, head librarian and city historian in Chelsea, "who were extremely helpful," said Officer Jeffrey Nielsen, a Milford police spokesman. They discovered the baby had been buried at the Garden Cemetery, which closed in the 1930s.
Police, who held a news conference Thursday to announce they had solved part of the mystery and were returning the headstone to the Garden Cemetery, say they still have no idea how the marker got to Connecticut.
But Deputy Chief Tracy Mooney said it was clear it did not belong with police.
"Once you'd walk into the evidence room and see the gravestone with a child's name on it, you knew its place was not in an evidence locker," he said. "Its rightful place is where it should be, which is where the little girl is buried."

Animalia | Chordata | Chondrichthyes | Rajiformes | Narcinidae |
Scientific Name: | Benthobatis yangi | |||
Species Authority: | Carvalho, Compagno & Ebert, 2003 | |||
Common Name(s):
Red List Category & Criteria: | Vulnerable A2d+4d ver 3.1 |
Year Published: | 2009 |
Date Assessed: | 2008-12-01 |
Assessor(s): | Carvalho, M.R. De, McCord, M. & Ebert, D.A. |
Reviewer(s): | Fowler, S.L. & Valenti, S.V. (Shark Red List Authority) |
Justification: This small endemic electric ray has a very limited known distribution in the waters of the outer shelf in depths of less than 300 m off southwestern Taiwan, Province of China. The Taiwanese Blind Electric Ray (Benthobatis yangi) is taken as bycatch in the local shrimp trawl fishery, which uses nets of very fine mesh, likely preventing any capture avoidance. The level of bycatch is not known, however the species is generally retained by the fishing vessels and discarded on landing. The species may also be discarded at sea. Although little information has been gathered on its biology and ecology, the high level of endemicity suggests that this species is threatened by incidental fishing mortality. Given that intense shrimp trawl fisheries operate throughout this species' limited range, it is assessed as Vulnerable on the basis of suspected declines as a result of continuing, high levels of exploitation. |
Range Description: | Northwest Pacific. Known only from off Tungkang (22°28.0'N, 120°26.0'E), southwestern Taiwan, Province of China (Carvalho et al. 2003). | ||
Countries occurrence: | Native: Taiwan, Province of China | ||
FAO Marine Fishing Areas: | Native: Pacific – northwest | ||

Range Map: | Click here to open the map viewer and explore range. |
Population: | No information available. | ||
Current Population Trend: | Unknown | ||
Additional data: |
Habitat and Ecology: | Apparently occurs on the upper continental slope or outer shelf at depths of 300 m or less (Carvalho et al. 2003). Male Benthobatis yangi are sexually mature between 19.1 and 21.5 cm total length (TL). The smallest male paratype (16.1 cm TL) possessed undeveloped claspers which did not project beyond the pelvic fins. The largest male specimen (21.5 cm TL) possessed fully developed claspers with calcified terminal cartilage components. The 19.1 cm TL male possessed claspers that projected well beyond the pelvic fin posterior margins, but was without fully calcified terminal cartilages and appeared to be an intermediate between the smallest and largest males. A large female (25.7 cm TL) was assumed to be sexually mature due to its relatively large size (Carvalho et al. 2003). |
Systems: | Marine |
Major Threat(s): | The primary threat to the Taiwanese Blind Electric Ray is shrimp trawling throughout its limited distribution, where it is taken as bycatch. Shrimp trawl fisheries operate along the southwestern coast of Taiwan Island and may range down to depths of 500 m (D. Ebert pers. obs. 2007). Fine mesh nets are used in this fishery, thus it is unlikely that the species can avoid or escape the nets, which may also be causing habitat damage. |
Conservation Actions: | None in place. More research into the status of this and other deepwater species is required in order to develop appropriate conservation and fisheries management plans. |

Huh? Who is ahead of Guy that is as shocking as you make it out to be? Every chef ahead of him is better than him, so yes, I do believe who is in front of him.

I appreciate the gesture, but I'd really rather not have my team's $10-million superstar throwing his body in front of ballistic vulcanized rubber. – RMNB game 6 recap
Washington's one surviving newspaper beat writer, Katie Carrera, dropped this bomb on Thursday afternoon:
Alex Ovechkin played the final two games of the Capitals' first-round series against New York with a hairline fracture in his left foot, according to a league source with direct knowledge of the winger's injury.
Ovechkin reportedly sustained the injury blocking shots during the first period of game six. We wrote about it at the time.
GIF by welshhockeyfan
In games six and seven, Ovechkin scored no points and recorded just six shots on goal.
Despite the injury, which will require only rest to heal, Alex Ovechkin played for his country at the World Championship in Helsinki. Despite scoring an goal and an assist in his only game with Team Russia, Ovechkin was eliminated from the tournament.
The injury reveals a sometimes-hidden truth. Shot-blocking, while considered a sign of commitment, is often dangerous or reckless move. In order to stop a low-risk shot by Ryan McDonagh (whose lifetime shooting percentage is a lowly 5.2%), Ovechkin actually hurt his team by impairing the skating ability of its best player.
Not a good trade.
He is selfish, he basically made his team lose. He sucked but didn't want to take himself out of the game.
He played 2 games with a fractured foot and the then played in Russia? I don't believe it, just an excuse for him sucking!
And who would have taken his spot on the number one line? Without Ovi they would have lost anyways, they wouldn't have even made the playoffs with him, do you even watch hockey?
If you would have taken the time to read the article you would known it was not possible to make the injury any worse, thats why he played for Russia
I'm pretty sure the coaches could have sat him if they'd felt he was a liability. That's what coaches do, after all.
This happens every year. Within the week after a team is eliminated, it comes out just how banged up some of the players were. Meanwhile, the team moving on obviously does not disclose these. I'm sure there were some Rangers playing through injuries, and still are. There will be players lifting the Cup this year who were probably injured in the first series. In the end, you can't judge his decision based on what we know now. If Ovechkin doesn't block that shot, and a goal comes from it, we would be talking about how he doesn't sacrifice enough. No different than when Ovi goes for the blind behind-the-back passes. If he hits Mike Green for a goal, we call him a genius. If it send the opposing team the other way, it's selfish.
Ovi = courageous. Also, this news makes deadspin look even dumber for this story http://deadspin.com/alexander-ovechkin-would-prefer-not-to-play-defense-498552980
Wow so everyone who got on him for not playing defense in game 3 is now angry he played defense and did what a captain should do and led by example in blocking a shot and is now getting ridiculed for that. I'm so sick of all these bandwagon fans who know nothing about how to play the game and didnt even start watching the caps until ovechkin came to town. Everything he does e gets criticized for because the expectations are way to high for any player and fans in dc have become spoiled.
He is a real hero. Without Ovi Caps=Oilers?
yep agree….he aint superman….hell of a player another richard number 3…
Last I checked there other people on this team that didn't score either or help lift the team during games 6 and 7. Where is 19, or 90 or any of the other top 6 ?
A low risk shot? Are you considering the implications the shot not being blocked resulting in a deflection and a close-in Ranger with a higher shooting percentage potting a goal off of the "low percentage shooter's" getting the puck to the net area? What about the possibilty of "momentum changing" when a player has this type up shift, laying everything on the line?
that is how it is..dunno what they expect why dont they clone 3 of him then he can be all over the place…
Did he know he was injured? If so, maybe this is what Ribiero meant when he said Ovi "has a lot to learn"? Don't get me wrong – I'm not saying Ovi is a horrible hockey player – he's quite amazing, actually. And I'm not trying to take away from the fact that he was putting himself out there to make sure the Caps were winning games. But if you're injured, you're doing your team more of an injustice by staying in the game and not playing at 100%. And it's not just Ovi that needs to be reprimanded for this – Oates, or any other coach or player, really should have the balls to say, "hey, Ovi doesn't look right, he needs to be checked out." and pull him out so that a healthy player can get out there in his place and play. Ovi may not have liked it, but the health of your players should always come before winning games. The Caps really shouldn't be relying on a single player – whether it be Ovi or anyone else – to win. They have a really good roster, athletically, but their mental game is what makes or breaks them. Whether they win or lose, they do it together.
I dunno, pardon my ramblings. It's all "shoulda, coulda, woulda"s at this point. I hope Ovi gets better and he gets back out there soon, better than 100%.
But he has no heart!!!
His foot hurt so bad he flew 10 hours to play with the Russian national team? Another excuse.
go fuck yourself
This happens to every team, multiple times, every year. It has nothing to do with the recurring Game 7 no-show nightmares, which seems to be a franchise tradition and should be our only concern at this point.
I Don't think questioning his ability to play at below 100% is really an issue considering he was one of the few players who came out flying in game 7. He really brought it in the last game and if I'm not mistaken led the game in hits by far, might have been in double digits midway through the 2nd. Would have been nice to see a few more goals but that's always gonna be tough when nicky and mojo are so hesitant to shoot.
It was completely irresponsible. Should have notified the coach. It was bad enough, all the turnovers. But this was the frozen limit, to be sure.
They allready hired special agent Maria for that purpose. The process will take some time though.
and must be ashamed of himself!
Nice try 🙂
He is soooo selfish, he did it on purpose to have a good excuse for his bad play in case of elimination. C'mon, please, say it.
Haters gonna hate…
You suck without any excuses.
What makes you think Oates didn't know?
haha this kinda sounds like the same situation with the Redskins this year and RGIII
All I can say about it is, "*sigh* Oh, DC Sports… thou art a heartless bitch."
especially when Aaron Asham scores two goals against us this series, no shot in the playoffs is low riskl in my opinion unless it is a boston bruin fan faux-slashing holtby from point blank range
*Boston Bruin forward

Farmers were enthusiastic and keen to soak up as much knowledge as possible to set themselves and their teams up for the calving season.
The events focused on providing practical, skills-based training for the whole farm team. With multiple sessions held throughout the day, farmers selected their own programme to match their experience level. The sessions ranged from calving preparation, calving cows and health and wellbeing, to team management, colostrum research and bobby calf care.
Farmers were keen to voice their commitment to animal welfare and were supportive of new resources to help with the management of bobby calves on-farm.
Valuable group discussions took place, with farmers sharing their ideas and solutions to help provide the best care for calves.
The take-home notes from CalvingSmart are available to download on this page. Other resources, including the Fit for transport poster and Bobby calf collection sign, can be found here.
If you have photos you would like to share with us, please post them on Facebook or Twitter using the #caring4calves with your posts.

Nicolai Howalt's Car Crash Studies series ties a post-crash carnage to artistic abstraction, as the photographs of metallic dents and scratches have a true sculptural quality. This contrasts to the chaos of the subject-matter to unveil a fascinating and hidden beauty in destruction.
Author Archives: daniel griffiths
Jason Middlebrook's Wood Paintings
Jason Middlebrook's work incorporates lines onto wood planks found in New York State, as the artist forms abstract 'landscape' painting that play with colour. The artist's painterly abstracted forms create a hypnotic quality to the work, as the ordered lines subvert patterns of trees to seek a re-engagement in our relationship with nature itself.
Joachim Schmid's Shredded Negatives
Joachim Schmid is a Berlin-based artist working with photography and public image sources. Schmid has found acclaim in his numerous series, spanning thirty years, but a personal favourite is Photogenic Drafts. The series consists of portraits made from donated shredded negatives, which question identity, gender and age with satirical wit.
Brittney Meyer's 'Sugar Stills' series
Brittney Meyer's Sugar Stills series uses photographic trickery to place confectionary in landscapes. A playful series with a bittersweet uncanny edge.

Mike Calway-Fagan's Mixed Media Collage
Mike Calway-Fagan's collage work mixes dissimilar photography with a sense of urgency. The artist asserts that his works hopes to 'critique complacency and aestheticise catastrophe' by creating dis-ordered imagery that evoke disaster. See more after the jump.
Jennifer Mehigan's 'Armed/Luminous' series
Jennifer Mehigan's Armed/Luminous series (2010) mixes paint with found imagery to explore the hidden beauty of fire. The Sydney-based artist's use of bright brushstrokes undermines the scenes of terror behind by destroying the image in both material and metaphorical terms, with a clear parallel to Gerhard Richter's Overpainted series.
Pakayla Biehn's Double Exposure Paintings
Pakayla Biehn is a San Franciso-based artist who collaborates with photographers in her Double Exposure series, by taking inspiration from double exposure photography and painting the images using oil on canvas. The end result is an incredibly beautiful and detailed series with an oneiric quality.
Sam Falconer
Sam Falconer is a freelance illustrator based in the UK, whose portraits of famous figures such as Jack Nicholson and Bette Davis mix textures, patterns and colours in a playful manner. Many of the collage renderings evoke the work of John Baldessari in a quirky play on pop imagery. More after the jump.

She Loves Me She Loves Me Not Lyrics
Artist: Kool G. Rap & DJ Polo
Album: Road To The Riches
yo word Polo broken heart ain't no joke man>
Love is pain left out in the rain
With nothing to gain but teardrop stains
Being haunted by a memory as I think back
The things we used to do and how we used to act
With love and trust passion and plussed
Because a pride never kept things inside yo they was always discussed
Between us, never argued about
And I never gave a clue for you to figure it out
How I miss being blessed with your sweet finesse
As we kiss and twist and caress on the mattress
Sweet body heat, your heartbeat
I'll grip your hips and both of our lips will meet so neat
Staring up at the moonlight with someone to hold tight
Given a chance for romance until the sunlight
Brightens the sky, it reflects in your eye
But now, the reflection is gone and I cry out
She loves me, she loves me not
Yo she loves me (x2)
Looking at your picture as it sits on the table
As I put on my cable I wish that I was able
To touch but it's a shame that you had to go
So I watch the hands on the clock go real slow
Gone with the wind, is love a sin?
If it is then God, then bring it back again
Not a girl that you rate as a fine blind date
I need a love mate so I can create
So I open a window to feel the wind blow
Try to figure out how can a love end so
Fast and just pass and not even last
First grow like grass, then shatter like glass
Now I stare at the walls, clock five Tylenols
Unplug the telephone to avoid phone calls
As I sit and crave for the love she gave
But when I wake up, I'm the same love slave
She loves me, she loves me not
Yo she loves me (x4)
When you lost a good friend, dreams seem to end
Cause broken hearts and men don't blend
So I'm not here to stick every chick I can pick
You move too quick, you become seasick
And a one-night stand is for the one-track mind man
The kind of guy you kick like a can
So I race in space and try to replace the pretty face
But it's a waste, this chase is a kiddy case
Now I whisper how much I missed her
My lips should have blistered the way I kissed her
So soft and slow, laid back and relaxed
And when I move, the groove is as smooth as a sax
She kissed me low and then proceeded up
Bedsheets heated up, the pace is speeded up
Slowly but surely we reach our destiny
She got the best of me and left the rest of me
Now all I got is total confusion
She disappeared and it's not an illusion
My life is bitter, the memories glitter
I feel like dirt, so please do not litter
My heart's deflated, doctors can't rate it
I don't know how the hell I made it
So farewell sweetheart wherever you are
I'll just look at a star, and say yo
She loves me, she loves me not
Yo she loves me (x4)
I don't even know what to do homeboy>
And go on with your life homeboy>

Hot and Cold, Water
A friend writes that Las Vegas is hot, so hot it almost
feels like extreme cold, the way it dries out the mucous membranes. There are
some interesting parallels between hot and cold, such as a competition one year
between my archaeologist friend in Tucson and my brother in Fairbanks about which "icebreaker"
would occur first – Tucson hitting 100 degrees or the ice on the Tanana River
thawing. There are some parallels too with regard to water between Oaxaca and Fairbanks, as I pump water from the ubiquitous blue jug to make coffee in the morning on a burner. Many hours later, Stefan, water procured from an essential "water station," does the same in his Fairbanks cabin. Only I have
running water… (Click title to read and see more.)

Years ago when I was working in Ireland I developed a habit of marking anything not yet configured in a configuration file and in code with the string "here be dragons".
[mail servers]
smtp="here be dragons"
This had the simple advantage that one could search all config files for "dragons" to find items not yet configured (maybe the SMTP server wasn't known yet but now is).
After a while I and later others started referring to a status where an application was installed but not yet configured as having dragons, as in "Module X is installed but some dragons remain".
Now in Switzerland another interesting term developed, more or less by accident. The German equivalent of the English term "text book" (as in "ideal") is "picture book". Our test environment installation people have a habit of taking screenshots of anything that didn't work or confused them during installation of our application. (That was very useful.) They then sent us the screenshots so we could resolve those issues or explain them away.
And now an installation routine that is particularly buggy is referred to as a "picture book installation" (again, think "text book installation").

Some people study languages for fun, just to keep their brains busy. Others paint or learn to play a musical instrument. Learning to code is not only a fun hobby (for those who like it) but it also trains the brain and can be useful.
Not everyone who learns French needs to become an interpreter. Not everyone who attends pottery class will try a career in the tableware industry. So why shouldn't people learn to code without it being part of a career as a programmer?
The whole "everyone should learn programming" meme has gotten so out of control that the mayor of New York City actually vowed to learn to code in 2012. A noble gesture to garner the NYC tech community vote, for sure, but if the mayor of New York City actually needs to sling JavaScript co...
Amazon simply decided not to display footnotes correctly. I have complained about that several times, but Amazon ignore complaints.
The Kindle is basically useless for scientific books or any books that rely on footnotes. I don't know why Amazon are trying to destroy the eBook format.
I stopped buying eBooks from Amazon and now use the Kindle for my existing books and for non-Amazon eBooks.
I don't see what Amazon have to gain from destroying the reading experience like that. It's not like making the footnotes difficult to reach makes "piracy" more difficult or anything like that.
I adore words, but let's face it: books suck. More specifically, so many beautiful ideas have been helplessly trapped in physical made-of-atoms books for the last few centuries. How do books suck? Let me count the ways: They are heavy. They take up too much space. They have to be printed. ...
"Jakob Nielsen wrote about 300 DPI displays back in 1997: http://www.useit.com/alertbox/9703b.html"

I absolutely hate loading a Web page for a minute or two (depending on location) and then find that after a minute of reading I have to load _another_ page (and another, and another).

I don't see a move from the PC to a "Post PC Era". To me it looks as if the computing world constantly tries to figure out what the ration between computers and users should be.
Every ten years or so somebody notices that it is inefficient or somehow not good enough if [only one user uses a given computer|a given computer is used by more than one user] and advocates that instead [many users should use one computer|every user should get his own computer].
In the 60s and 70s we called it mainframe, now we call it cloud. The clients are more sophisticated (the iPads and phones and the like, not the users) and the cloud consists of many networked computers rather than one big one, but the effect is the same: many users use one computer (system) again. (In the 90s the expected shift from many computers to one computer system failed because of a mismatch between user expectations and available connectivity technology. But we did get the Web.)
I think that perhaps the entire history of computers can be explained as the constant struggle to make one computer system support more than one user whenever every user had his own computer and to give every user his own computer whenever one computer system was used by many users. This resulted in more computers and more users because we always added but never subtracted.

Each primary clone can be identified by the identity of the plate and the clone location (row and column) on that plate. Arrayed libraries of clones are used for many purposes, including screening for a specific gene or genomic region.

The candidate's immediate career goal is to obtain an Assistant Professor position at an academic Cardiology Division that allows for protected (75%) research time with a 25% clinical obligation. Ideally, the research will be translational work aimed toward improved diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease. Because the candidate is trained in advanced cardiac imaging, the opportunity to employ these imaging skills in both the clinical and investigational settings will be critical. Long-term, the candidate hopes to establish a diverse and robust research program that validates new molecular imaging targets at the bench, and then tests the utility of those targets in clinical trials. This research proposal will examine the ability of non-invasive molecular imaging to detect cell death and cardiac remodeling in vivo. Specifically, cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), which provides superior depth penetration and spatial resolution, will be used to image magnetically-labeled Annexin V (ANX-SPIO), which has been shown to bind cells early in apoptosis. The major hypothesis is that systemically delivered ANX-SPIO will be able to track to and monitor (by MRI) areas of myocardial cell death following either myocardial infarction or cardiotoxic doxorubicin exposure. This methodology is novel in its approach, and pursuit of this critical frontier in cardiac molecular imaging may lead to a new platform from which cardiovascular disease is both studied and treated. This proposal incorporates significant career development for the candidate. Through critical interactions with a rich cohort of mentors in Cardiac MRI, molecular imaging, and cardiac apoptosis/cell biology, the candidate will obtain invaluable and broad technical training in the fields that will lay the foundation for an independent research program in cardiac molecular imaging. The research environment at UCSF is ideally suited for this endeavor. Combined with concurrent coursework in biostatistics and various molecular imaging techniques (bioluminescence, MR-SPECT), these experiences will help the candidate compete for R01 funding to establish the aforementioned independent research program.
Using magnetic labeling to detect heart muscle damage may allow real-time adjustments to chemotherapy regimens, thereby preventing the irreversible heart failure that can result from these treatments. A similar strategy to monitor stem cell protection of threatened myocardium after heart attacks may also be possible. Thus, the ability to detect cardiac cell death through MRI may positively impact patient care and outcomes.

Older residents among those irked by wait for concealed-gun permits
Yvonne Freeman is an active 66-year-old, prone to distilling her thoughts with a directness that's softened by a touch of the Virginia accent that came with her to California more than 30 years ago.
But genteel Southern sensibilities aren't apparent on a recent afternoon. She says it's that darn notice she got from the Orange County Sheriff's Department about her concealed weapon permit application that stuck in her craw.
The notice told the Fountain Valley resident that her appointment was July 26. OK, she thought, but then she checked what day of the week that was. Saturday. That didn't make sense, so she looked closer.
"It was July 26, 2016," she said. "I don't even have a calendar for 2016. I might be dead by 2016."
Freeman had applied for a concealed weapon permit under relaxed guidelines established last month by Sheriff Sandra Hutchens – the result of a 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decision that called into question the tougher guidelines previously in place. Not all urban sheriffs have switched their policy, which requires a person to prove they are in grave danger or responsible for toting large sums of cash or valuables.
Hutchens did, however. Now, if an applicant can pass a state-mandated background check and pass a class on the use of concealed weapons, they can get a permit simply by saying they need one for personal protection or safety.
The result was, as of Tuesday, 2,856 applicants for a concealed weapon permit in Orange County. That's about five times the number of applications in all of 2013 and about three times the number of current concealed weapon permit holders in the county.
Although the Sheriff's Department will spend about $1.5 million to add staff for faster processing, the wait for an appointment has extended far beyond last year's three to four months. And it's unclear if the flood of applications will continue or if the cycle represents pent-up demand that soon might fade.
Still, the longer line is alarming for some senior citizens.
"I'll probably die of old age by the time I can get a CCW permit approved," Freeman said. "Maybe that's what they have in mind."
Sheriff's spokesman Jeff Hallock said the department is in the process of finding upward of 15 extra people to handle the backlog – which, if you include the time needed to run background checks, is approaching a three-year wait. It's first come, first served – regardless of age.
Bob Schaffer, a 74-year-old in Los Alamitos, said he submitted his application "a while back" and is still waiting for the process to sort out. A diabetic "with some health issues," he said he shouldn't have to wait that long to feel safe.
"At my age right now, I need it for my protection," Schaffer said. "Right now, I have nothing. I will not give up my truck, my family, my animals. I will not run. I can't run. But I don't want to get the hell beat out of me."
Age isn't necessarily a key factor in gun ownership. According to a February Gallup survey, gun ownership for people 65 and older runs about 32 percent. Overall, about 37 percent of American households include a gun in their home.
Freeman owns rental property in Arizona and often has to make the drive on I-10. She said that she doesn't feel safe at the rest stops and that there are stretches where cellphone service is poor. But the law requires her, without a permit, to store her .38 Smith & Wesson in the glove box of her car and the ammunition in the trunk.
"I have felt extremely uncomfortable at some of those rest areas," she said. "If I had a gun, I might not need it, but it would make me feel more OK. Let's face it – senior citizens are more likely to be victims of a crime where someone who is young and healthy might be able to fight them off."
But crime data doesn't bear that out.
According to Department of Justice data in 2010, people between the ages of 50 and 64 account for 10.9 percent of violent crime victims. The percentage drops to 2.4 percent for those 65 and older.
It's unclear how much of the recent wave of permit applications is driven by older gun owners. Hallock said the department doesn't sort demographic data for permit applicants. According to census data, 12.3 percent of the county's 3 million residents are 65 and older.
Hallock said he understood the concerns of some senior citizens who are worried about wait times, but said the department believes once the additional staff starts working the backlog, the delays will shorten to a more reasonable time frame.
"We know it's going to change with the additional people," he said.

In 1942, a group of scientists headed by Enrico Fermi and Arthur Compton was building an atomic pile that they hoped would become the first nuclear reactor. This reactor consisted of a stack, or pile, of graphite blocks with lumps of uranium spaced throughout. The graphite served to slow down the neutrons emitted by the uranium so that they would be absorbed by the next lump of uranium and cause it to fission. It was hoped that this process would continue until the overall reaction became continuous and self-sustaining.
The atomic pile was built under the squash courts in the stadium of the University of Chicago. Movable rods of cadmium were inserted into the pile. These rods could absorb the uranium emissions and could speed up or shut down the reaction. By December 1, everything was ready for...

I love pasta in all its forms, and so have amassed a small collection of recipes easier than making everything from scratch and harder than throwing a box of spaghetti into a pot of boiling water. Baked spaghetti happens to be my favorite easy recipe, and is very delicious as well, being... well... baked like lasagna, but offering less hassle and time consumption.
Approximate prep time: One hour Approximate cook time: 30 minutes Servings: 12 squares roughly 4 x 4 inches What you need: 1 box of spaghetti, linguine, or angel hair noodles 1 large jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce 1 bag of mozzarella cheese 3 small zucchini 1 small bag of julienne carrots 1 large sweet onion 1 bunch of celery any seasonings you prefer, though I usually use garlic powder, salt and pepper your oil of preference for sauteeing 1 12 x 18 inch deep dish baking pan
To start, cube the zucchini into roughly 1/2 by 1/2 inch pieces. Dice the onion. Slice the celery into 1/4 inch wide pieces.
Saute each vegetable with your seasonings and a small bit of oil on medium heat. Cook the zucchini, carrots, onion and celery separately, because they all take different amounts of time to cook. Put these all into a very large bowl after sauteeing and stir with a spoon to mix them up, then add more seasonings if you prefer. Add your jar of spaghetti sauce to the vegetables and stir until thoroughly mixed.
Next, turn your oven to 350 degrees F. In a large pot, boil water then put in your noodles. Stir occasionally until they are cooked to al dente. When the noodles are done, put them in the large bowl with the vegetable/sauce mixture and stir until everything is mixed together. Pour the noodles into your baking pan and put the pan into the oven. Let the noodles bake for 20 minutes, then remove the pan and add the mozarella cheese evenly over the top. Put the pan back in the oven for another 10 minutes.
Take the pan out of the oven and let it stand for 15 minutes, then cut with a sharp knife into 12 pieces.
Bear in mind, this recipe can be made in larger or smaller quantities by halving or doubling the recipe. Also, feel free to add other vegetables like fresh tomatoes or mushrooms. If you prefer, cooked ground beef or cubed chicken can be added with the vegetables or substituted for them.

Well, I have watched it on BBC live.
What a comedy from the royals side!!! The Spencer were totally ignored. Only Harry was talking with them a few times. And during the speech they didn't showed emotions. Diana would crying in heaven now. Anyway, the queen held a interesting speech. She said: that Diana was killed in a car accident. Other times she always said died in a car accident. |
I saw in Sky. William and Harry are quite sad when the Queen speak. But after they go charing the crow with smilis and simpati.

I can only imagine that the Prince of Wales was there to support his sons. Because there was definitely not a love loss between him and Diana. I find it all quite hipocritical. I'm surprised that he didn't bring Camilla along (I'm being sarcastic) :innocent:

From a reader:
ToTville, don't you just love these new mini trash cans that the DDOT gave us?
It looks like there are new recycling bins installed by DDOT's Urban Forestry Administation, the DC agency responsible for all of the city's urban trees. The new tree-side recycling bins even have different sections, presumably for different types of recycling. What do you think of this new initiative by the city- will it encourage recycling? Will you use the new recycling bins? What do you think?
UPDATE, from DDOT: "Despite the unfortunately frequent utilization as such, these are actually not intended to be recycling bins! Amazing to learn, I know. But in reality, their intended correct use is as a newfangled sort of "tree watering" bin, and they replace the older "bag-style" technology. Therefore, we don't advise residents to discard waste- recyclable or otherwise – in them, because DPW will not collect it."
Thanks to DDOT for posting more info below in the comments. Wow- a device that waters trees automatically?! What will they think of next? Also, why won't DPW collect the trash we place in the trees? Is DPW encouraging Ward 5 to be a dumping groung? What do you think?

Indigestion?Ok, here it is. I beat the game no problem. I mean, it's easy if you're kinda smart. I was going through just to "clean-up" (finishing off any missed odd jobs and furotech cells) and after Bay City and Albion I went to Takoshima where for some reason I can't find any relief for arkvoodle's "BLOCKAGE". I've moved on for now and don't really care anymore, but it would be cool to be completely finished just to say, "I did it!!!". (PLEASE HELP ME!!!) |
