Stem cells are primal cells found in all multi-cellular organisms.
They retain the ability to renew themselves through mitotic cell division and can differentiate into a diverse range of specialized cell types.
The three broad categories of mammalian stem cells are: embryonic stem cells, derived from blastocysts, adult stem cells, which are found in adult tissues, and cord blood stem cells, which are found in the umbilical cord.
In a developing embryo, stem cells can differentiate into all of the specialized embryonic tissues.
In adult organisms, stem cells and progenitor cells act as a repair system for the body, replenishing specialized cells.
As stem cells can be grown and transformed into specialized cells with characteristics consistent with cells of various tissues such as muscles or nerves through cell culture, their use in medical therapies has been proposed.
In particular, embryonic cell lines, autologous embryonic stem cells generated through therapeutic cloning, and highly plastic adult stem cells from the umbilical cord blood or bone marrow are touted as promising candidates.
Medical researchers believe that stem cell therapy has the potential to change radically the treatment of human disease.
A number of adult stem cell therapies already exist, particularly bone marrow transplants that are used to treat leukemia.

Police are today still searching for the hammer-wielding man and his accomplice involved in traumatic aggravated robbery in Tauranga last night.
The Cameronian Dairy, on Cameron Road, was targeted by two men about 5.10pm.
The men entered the store with one threatening the female worker with a hammer before ripping the till's cash box from the counter as he fled.
The second man can be seen on video footage appearing to keep watch at the entrance to the dairy as the robbery is taking place.
The men also stole a quantity of cash and cigarettes.
Police said this afternoon that both men left in a dark-coloured Nissan sedan which travelled down 17th Avenue and up Clarke Street, behind Tauranga Hospital.
Nobody was hurt during the robbery, but the victim was extremely traumatised and is receiving assistance from Victim Support, Detective Sergeant Alan Kingsbury said.
Mr Kingsbury said someone in the community would have knowledge of those involved and could hold the key to solving the robbery.
Anyone with information that could assist the investigation is asked to contact Tauranga Police on 07 5774300.
Alternatively information can be provided anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

First picture is the house as it was when we bought it. Our little, bland, white house.
|Late 2013
|Today, 2016
The only real difference that you can see in this last picture is in the drip edge along the roof line. We have no overhang so I came up with the idea of making the drip edge black on the front and back gable ends of the house to give the roof more definition, and we are very pleased with the result. Even the roofing crew that installed it was impressed that I came up with it. One even told me he wishes more homeowners did something like this. The black edge does exactly as I intended, and with the twin peaks out front it looks very good, indeed.
A good, straight on picture is after the break:

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Florida believes it has another young, up-and-coming coach to take on the tough job of following Billy Donovan -- the fist basketball coach who made hoops matter in Gainesville.
The Gators hired Louisiana Tech's Michael White last Thursday, a week after Donovan left to take the head coaching job with the NBA's Oklahoma City Thunder. Monday morning, White faced reporters in Gainesville. (Scroll down to watch live stream.
"It's an honor to join such a prestigious university. ... It's a program that's won three of the last five SEC championships and two National Championships," White said. It's my charge to maintain the momentum that (Billy Donovan) has maintained for the last 19 years."
White, who led the Bulldogs to a 27-9 record and the NIT quarterfinals last season, agreed to a six-year deal worth $2 million annually. He is scheduled to be formally introduced at a news conference Monday.
Donovan tearfully said goodbye to Florida last Monday, and athletic director Jeremy Foley said he would "call a lot of people and try to figure out the right person." He landed White three days later.
"Michael White is someone who came to the top of our list very quickly and he checks all of the boxes we were looking for," Foley said in a statement. "He is a winner who has a high level of integrity, plays an up-tempo style of play and has the respect of his peers and the basketball community. He has experience in coaching, recruiting and playing in the Southeastern Conference and has a strong pedigree. He has a certain authenticity with people and is not afraid of challenges."
White, the son of Duke athletic director Kevin White, grew up in Florida, played and coached in the SEC, and has experience recruiting in the south. His roster last season included five players from Florida.
Tennessee tried to hire White to replace Cuonzo Martin last season, but White chose to stay at Louisiana Tech and signed a six-year contract extension.
Although Florida fans seemingly wanted a more well-known coach - Dayton's Archie Miller and Xavier's Chris Mack were popular projections - White might just provide the Gators with another young coach undaunted about the challenges of working at football-first Florida.
Donovan spent 19 years at Florida, delivering two national championships, four trips to the Final Four and 14 appearances in the NCAA Tournament.
Now, White has to replace him.
White, who played at Mississippi, spent four seasons as an assistant at Jacksonville State (2000-04) and then seven with the Rebels (2004-11) before getting his first head coaching job with Louisiana Tech. He went 101-40 (.716) in four seasons with the Bulldogs, winning at least 27 games in each of the last three years.
"I have an incredible amount of respect for the University of Florida, and I am so excited to be a Gator," White said in a statement. "Not only is Florida home for me, but the tradition and success that the Gators have built make this an incredible opportunity. I know about the great home-court advantage in the O'Connell Center, which is a testament to the fans and the Rowdy Reptiles. There's an unbelievable commitment to excellence athletically and academically at UF, and it starts with the leadership of Dr. Fuchs and Jeremy Foley.
"I look forward to returning to the SEC where I have a lot of great memories, and I can't wait to create many more alongside the Gator Nation."
White led Louisiana Tech to three consecutive regular-season conference titles, all of which resulted in NIT berths, as the Bulldogs lost in the Western Athletic Conference (2013) and Conference USA (2014-15) tournaments. He was C-USA's coach of the year last season.
White brings a high-energy, fast-paced style that could help players ease any unrest following Donovan's departure. In four seasons at Louisiana Tech, the Bulldogs averaged 74 points, 14 assists, eight steals and seven 3-pointers a game.
"Coach White brings with him a distinguished career and an extraordinary record of success," school president Kent Fuchs said. "I have no doubt he will uphold high standards on and off the court, and am delighted to welcome him to the Gator Nation."

Comicbook Villain-Sue: The Comic
I have to give credit to Mark Millar: he probably did set out to writ the most impossibly foresighted and nigh-invincible villain ever, and he did succeed. This doesn't mean I'll praise it, though.
Good villains sometimes make you root for them, not that you want them to win(though sometimes you actually do), but you want to know what they'll do next. There are few moments when you actually care whether Nemesis will be caught, or what is he planning next, but those moments are quickly undermined by all the other times when either he impersonates deus ex machina or everyone else is awfully careless("sure, let's not worry about the seasoned identity thief; he'll be no trouble, probably").
And then there are the wall bangers. When Millar really outdoes himself and bends the laws of probability or makes up vague biology that only serves to make Nemesis' plan more "perfect". What it does accomplish, though, is making everything far-fetched.
There's a twist there, and it's not bad. But then the ending is actually pointless. This story is pretty much a train wreck: it's not pretty, but you just can't turn your eyes away. So you better not even start, unless you're in the mood for a blatant Villain Sue. In that case... I guess to each their own.

Railways can be attributed to the success of the humankind. Quite evidently, railways are considered to be the symbol of progress and development, after all, the industrial era caught pace because of this machine transporting heavy goods from one place to another at breakneck speeds in times when it was considered unimaginable.
Established by the British when India was under the British Raj, the Railways have branched much more and connect even the most inaccessible parts of the country.
The Indian Railway branches over 60,000 kilometres, with over 8000 stations with over 1 lakh kilometres of tracks laid down. This makes Indian railways the most elaborate railway networks around the world.
Another interesting fact here would be that the Indian Railway holds the record for employing the most number of people by any government institution anywhere around the world. Which makes sense, as maintaining the lifeline of the Indian Economy would require as many hands on deck as possible.
Essentially, the railway recruitment is the fundamental duty of the Railway Recruitment Control Board. All recruitments all over the country are looked after by this department.
This department was set up by the Ministry of Railways in 1998.
To decentralise the process, the Railway Recruitment Boards have organisations set up under the Government of India. These are called boards and till date there are 21 boards situated in different parts of India.
The Indian Railways functions at various levels across the country. There are several personnel in charge of the multifarious aspects that make running trains to and fro, day in and out possible.
Some of the most commonly known job prospects in the Railway sector are Service Officers, Electrical Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, Store service, Account service, Signal Engineers and Railway Protection Force too.
If you are someone with a medical degree, you can also enrol yourself for the IRMS Medical Service. Mechanical engineers also can find a spot for themselves when it comes to constructing new railway stations and planning new track routes, bridges, tunnels, etc.
A degree in hotel management and hospitality would come in handy if you apply for pantry supervisors, food quality analysts, etc.
There are also positions like station masters, engine drivers, assistant drivers, yardmasters, motormen, guards and mechanical inspectors that smoothen the entire journey of trains all across the nation.
To make sure there are railway rules maintained, there are ticket collectors, railway maintenance workers, railway police engaged at all times.
The most basic degree requirement for a job in the railway sector is graduating successfully from your 10+2s. Depending on which sector of the railways you really wish to be a part of, the specification for educational qualification changes.
For a cadre size job, you would ideally need Undergrad from Central or state university or a distance degree from a government recognized institution. Age limit should range between 21 and 32 years.
For Technical positions, a bachelor's degree in Engineering or MSc in Wireless Communication, Electronics, Radio, Physics or Radio Engineering should do. Age limit for these positions would also be from 21 to 32 years.

Other powers, especially the emerging ones like China and Russia will take note of America's disdain for a rules based international order and do likewise. Do you not think that it will catch up with the USA eventually?Jim the Moron wrote: ↑Sat Sep 07, 2019 10:36 am
The US need not be concerned about the UN or any other outfit devoted to "multilateral affairs." Rather, it should continue to maintain superior defensive capabilities. Good use of US military resources is the ongoing assistance to the folks in the Bahamas
Just remember the 1930's when rogue states like Germany, Japan and Italy took it upon themselves to act unilaterally on what they defined as their national interests.

'Bruingate' 2.0: Congressional hearings to begin June 19
Meadows, others to examine discredited WNC bear poaching "sting"
The first hearing is to take place at an as yet unnamed Haywood County location – possibly Haywood Technical College according to one source – with another to follow later in Washington.
Former defendants arrested during the sting, nearly all of whom were acquitted, are expected to testify, along with family members, about "Gestapo tactics" used during a series of coordinated raids conducted by a joint law enforcement task force in February, 2013, against targets suspected of poaching in far western North Carolina and northwest Georgia.
At the time, and ever since, those affected by the operation have charged participating officers with entrapment, false arrest, false imprisonment, warrantless searches, illegal seizure and detention of private property, assault, communicating threats, and a clutch of other unlawful activities.
Additionally, testimony and evidence produced during the trials of several hunters and guides who were arrested during the sting revealed that officers taking part had personally killed more than half the bears taken during the undercover portion of the operation and had coerced or manipulated the defendants into killing others. Discovery also revealed that officers had purchased and used bear bait, illegally transported bear carcasses across state lines and operated out of state beyond their jurisdictions.
The laundry list of illegal tactics allegedly used has earned the operation the nickname "Bruingate."
The Back Story
"Bruingate" was four years in the planning and cost an estimated $2 million to stage. It began in 2009, when a task force of agents from the U.S. Forest Service, the National Park Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and wildlife agencies in North Carolina and Georgia put together a sweep they said would specifically target bear poachers, but would also encompass the illegal taking of deer "and other wildlife," illegal use of dogs, and the guiding of hunts on national forest lands without required permits.
Officers of the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, the Forest Service and the Georgia Department of Natural Resources spent their three years "infiltrating poaching circles" and becoming "imbedded" in hunting communities, according to the official narrative of events.
The trap was sprung on the night of Feb. 13, 2013, when dozens of armed and armored agents burst into suspects' homes and businesses, seizing everything from guns and other hunting equipment to mounted trophies, photographs, as well as boats, road maintenance machinery and a child's teddy bear. In all, 81 arrests were made.
At the time, law enforcement agencies and mainstream media applauded the operation. In November of 2013, Sgt. Chad Arnold, an officer of the Charlotte special investigative unit of North Carolina Wildlife Commission, was named Wildlife Enforcement Officer of the Year for his part in the sting operation, during which he had used the alias "Chad Ryan." A website was posted detailing how the operation was conceived and executed.
In the months that followed, state charges against most of those arrested in the sting operation were dropped for lack of evidence. A number of those defendants, however, were promptly recharged under federal law.
On June 10, 2013, ten defendants – seven from Robbinsville, N.C., one from Morganton, N.C. and one each from Alabama and Texas — pleaded guilty in a U.S. magistrate's court to a variety of misdemeanors. Sentences ranged from 30 days in jail (for the wild pig hunting) to a fine of $1,500 for "driving on a closed U.S. Forest Service road" and a like amount for "using the National Forest Service for commercial purposes."
Only two of the June cases actually dealt with bears: one defendant was sentenced to 30 days' jail time for aiding and abetting the illegal taking of a black bear; another was actually charged with killing a bear and remanded for trial (see below).
Then, on January 18, 2014 – nearly a year after the raids — the Southeastern Hunters and Sportsmen's Alliance organized a town hall meeting in Bryson City at which hunters, guides and their family members painted a very different picture of the way Operation Something Bruin was carried out and how it affected them. They told of armed and armored tactical teams storming into houses, of frightened children hiding under beds, of watching helplessly as their homes were ransacked and of the warrantless seizure of personal property, family heirlooms and even boats and construction equipment that, they said, could not possibly have had any bearing on such an investigation.
Hunters arrested or approached during the sting said they were pestered by undercover agents to be taken on bear hunts out of season, and/or under circumstances that would be illegal for "civilians."
The elaborate "Operation Something Bruin" website disappeared from the Internet a few days later.
Shedding Light
Waynesville attorney Russell McLean, who has represented several of the Bruingate defendants, says he hopes Meadows' hearing will call attention to one case in particular.
McLean represents Chad Crisp, the only sting defendant who was sentenced to active jail time. Crisp's case was first heard is federal district court, where it was dismissed; however, the Something Bruin attorneys promptly had his case revived, this time in local magistrate's court, the lowest rung on the judicial ladder, usually reserved for misdemeanor cases. The magistrate found Crisp guilty of illegally transporting a bear carcass (which McLean says Crisp was manipulated into doing) and with having an expired hunting license. ("It had expired for one day – 24 hours," McLean said. "He renewed it as soon as he could get to a licensing agency, but they arrested him anyway.")
The magistrate sentenced Crisp to 20 months in prison.
"That's egregious," McLean said. Magistrates don't hand out jail time like that. And [Crisp] was denied his right to a jury trial, which is guaranteed him under the Sixth Amendment. Every time these boys [the Bruingate defendants] were tried before a jury they were acquitted or the case was dismissed. This is spite."
Crisp's case is pending appeal to the Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Va.
"Naturally I also hope these hearings will shed further light on these officers' conduct, which was beyond belief," McLean said.
Meadows' office on Tuesday confirmed the June 19 Haywood County hearing date but a staff member said a site has not yet been finalized, nor has who else may accompany Meadows.

24 Hour Holter EKG Monitoring Treatment India, Electrodes On Chest India, Heart Attack India, Heart Electrical Activity India, Heart Machine India, Heart Rhythm Problem India, Medical Procedure India, Normal Activity India, Painless Test India, Record Heart Rhythm India, Small Recording Monitor India
A Holter monitor is a machine that continuously records the heart's rhythms. The monitor is usually worn for 24 hours during normal activity.
How the test is performed
Electrodes (small conducting patches) are stuck onto your chest and attached to a small recording monitor. You carry the Holter monitor in a pocket or in a small pouch worn around your neck or waist. The monitor is battery operated.
While you wear the monitor, it records your heart's electrical activity. You should keep a diary of what activities you do while wearing the monitor. After 24-hours, you return the monitor to your doctor's office. The doctor will look at the records and see if there have been any irregular heart rhythms.It is very important that you accurately record your symptoms and activities so that the doctor can match them with your Holter monitor findings.
How to prepare for the test
There is no special preparation for the test. Your doctor will start the monitor. You'll be told how to replace the electrodes, should they fall off or become loose.
Tell your doctor if you are allergic to any tape or other adhesives. Make sure you shower or bathe before you start the test. You will not be able to do so while you are wearing a Holter monitor.
How the test will feel
This is a painless test. However, some people may need to have their chest shaved so the electrodes can stick.
You must keep the monitor close to your body. This may make sleeping difficult for some people.
You should continue your normal activities while wearing the monitor.
Why the test is performed
Holter monitoring is used to determine how the heart responds to normal activity. The monitor may also be used:
- When starting a new heart medicine
- After a heart attack
- To diagnose heart rhythm problems
It may be used to diagnose:
- Atrial fibrillation/flutter
- Multifocal atrial tachycardia
- Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia
- Palpitations
- Reasons for fainting
Normal Values
Normal variations in heart rate occur with activities. A normal result is no significant changes in heart rhythms or pattern.
What abnormal results mean
Abnormal results may include various arrhythmias. Changes in the normal pattern of waves formed by the heart's electrical signals may mean that the heart is not getting enough oxygen.
What the risks are
There are no risks associated with the test. However, you should be sure not to let the monitor get wet.

We missed out on a lot during Kellisa's time in the NICU, but Lisa missed one of the moments that moms cherish and remember forever, getting discharged with their newborn. It wasn't the same, but a nurse wheeled Lisa out of the hospital with Kellisa on her lap. Even with the oxygen, monitors, and wires everywhere, it was a beautiful moment.
The one normal thing we did was order a large wooden stork to be placed on our front lawn for Kellisa's arrival. It was huge with a large red heart painted with Kellisa's name and date of birth. When we arrived home, we took celebratory pictures of Kellisa with the stork in front of our house. After the pictures, Lisa carried Kellisa through our front door for the first time. Kellisa was home.
The house needed to be prepared in advance for Kellisa's homecoming. Since she came home on oxygen, we needed a large oxygen cylinder placed in the center of our house with tubing that could reach the farthest corners. This would allow Kellisa to remain hooked up to one main cylinder. We had small portable canisters to use when leaving the house. We placed a basinet at the foot of our bed. Kellisa's monitors could hang from the outside of the basinet guaranteeing we would hear any alarm during the night. If she decided to stop breathing, we could easily flick her tiny foot and snap he back.
We were told to contact the utilities companies which we did before Kellisa got home. This was done to guarantee continued electricity, gas, and water in case of an outage. We also contacted the village we lived in to let them know about Kellisa. This would give police and fire advanced information in case of an emergency. We were also given information on our local shelters that could handle Kellisa in case we needed to evacuate.
It was impossible to settle in to any kind of normal routine. Even though Kellisa was stable enough to be released from the hospital, she was still attached to the oxygen and monitors with Lisa and me as her source of first responders. The excessive responsibility was a burden at times.
In addition, Kellisa needed to be seen by all the same specialists she was seeing in the hospital. This meant a 70 mile round trip drive through Chicago traffic multiple times a week with a baby attached to heavy oxygen cylinders and wired to bulky monitors that needed to be fully charged for the trips.
We were also in a race against the seasons. My new job wanted us to relocate to Florida. We had mixed feelings about accepting the offer, but it became an easy decision once the doctors in the NICU told us it would be the best thing for Kellisa's health. Kellisa's lung tissue was still damaged from her birth and preemies like her usually get pneumonia during winters in Chicago. Kellisa was not in a position to take on pneumonia with odds in her favor. The doctor told us to expect pneumonia every year if we stayed.
Doctors were watching Kellisa's eyes closely because like a lot of preemie, she had Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP). Low weight preemies are at risk to develop ROP due to the oxygen therapy received in the NICU to treat underdeveloped lungs. Like everything else we would learn, ROP can be mild to significant. The main issue is disorganized growth of retinal blood vessels. Milder cases may resolve without intervention. More serious cases can lead to retinal detachment and blindness.
Lisa was home alone with Kellisa when she noticed Kellisa's soft spot bulging. We were used to the soft spot sinking in a little since the shunt was placed a month earlier. Something wasn't right. I met Lisa at the emergency room where I was horrified to see Kellisa's head which resembled a Conehead. After a few tests, it was determined that her shunt was malfunctioning. We quickly learned that emergency shunt replacement surgery is the only option when a placed shunt is malfunctioning.
Our routine of kissing Kellisa goodbye just before she was wheeled off for surgery continued for the third time in her short four months of life. We were at the same hospital, but because Kellisa was not in the NICU anymore, she was taken to a different operating room.
I gained over 20 pounds while Kellisa was in the NICU and hoped we were done eating hospital food. After another meal together in the cafeteria, we returned to the family waiting area. It was impossible to read a book, watch TV, or even have a conversation with Lisa. Kellisa's shunt malfunction was uncharted territory. All I could do was worry.
Kellisa's neurosurgeon emerged in his scrubs and told us how great the surgery went. He had to replace the entire shunt and tubing. Kellisa was in a post operation room and we were allowed to go back to see her. She was still asleep with her head heavily bandaged. Kellisa woke up a couple of hours later.
Several tests verified the new shunt was working and Kellisa was discharged just a couple of days after her second brain surgery. We were taking Kellisa to the eye doctor once a week, her eyes needed to be followed that closely. The ophthalmologist was balancing a difficult decision as he weighed the risks of another surgery versus waiting as long as possible to see if her ROP corrected itself. The doctor didn't want to subject Kellisa to another surgery unless absolutely necessary. However, waiting too long if her eyes didn't self-correct could lead to blindness.
Our move to Florida was weighing heavily as we tried to organize and pack. We needed to move before winter hit, but we also felt strongly about letting Kellisa's ROP play out with her doctor in Chicago. We didn't want to risk losing valuable time trying to find a new doctor and even if we did, how long would it take to be seen by someone who didn't know Kellisa. My new company was patient, yet eager to have us in Florida.
A couple of weeks passed since the shunt surgery when Kellisa's soft spot began bulging again. We knew the routine as we returned to the emergency room. A CAT scan revealed kinked tubing which was causing the buildup of fluids inside Kellisa's brain. Within a couple of hours, we were kissing Kellisa goodbye as she headed off for her third brain surgery in as many months. Kellisa's entire shunt and tubing needed to be replaced. Again, she did well during and after the surgery. Kellisa was back home after recovering for a couple of days in the hospital.
At another eye doctor appointment the week after Kellisa's latest shunt revision, we were told it was time for eye surgery or Kellisa would go blind. The next day we were kissing Kellisa goodbye before her 5th surgery before she was even 5 months old.
The doctor explained the surgery to us. He would use a laser on the extra retinal blood vessels to stop their growth. The doctor declared the surgery a success when he consulted us in the waiting room. Kellisa spent another couple of days in the hospital recovering.
It was late October and we were eager to get Kellisa moved to Florida. It appeared that all of her immediate medical concerns were addressed and she would be stable enough for the move.
But first, Kellisa celebrated her first Halloween. Lisa decided Kellisa would turn the tables and dress Kellisa up as a doctor. Lisa wore scrubs to be an RN and that left me to play the role of a patient and judging by the picture, I apparently had some kind of eye infection going on.
As we were becoming quite aware, nothing with Kellisa was predictable. Before we could move, Kellisa had a urinary tract infection. Because her medical condition was still so fragile, this required a hospital stay of another couple of days until the infection was treated.
It was now the middle of mild November, but we were definitely feeling the pressure to move. One morning, Lisa could tell that Kellisa wasn't herself. Even though her soft spot appeared normal, we feared another shunt malfunction. Lisa called Kellisa's pediatrician who recommended a trip to the emergency room.
After the usual tests, it was determined that Kellisa had Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). It was usually a mild virus for healthy adults, but extremely serious for babies with Kellisa's medical history. The doctors treated the virus aggressively. Kellisa's RSV was followed closely by her pediatrician for a couple of weeks.
Finally, in the late afternoon hours on Friday, December 5th when Kellisa's doctor declared her healthy and stable enough to move to Florida.
We left for Florida the following morning. Our little two door hatchback was packed with Kellisa's necessities. We had a weeks' worth of portable oxygen cylinders, her monitors, all her clothes, and the bassinet. Backing was easy; we didn't have much room for anything else, but found a way to stuff a few basic kitchen items and some of our clothes in every little nook in the car. It would be 6 weeks before the rest of our possessions joined us in Florida
We made the drive from Chicago to Edgewater, FL the first weekend of December. Thankfully, we made it out of Illinois before the first freeze and snow fall. While a little cramped for a 1,100 mile drive and a little slow due to baby feedings and diaper changes, the drive was going as planned until we encountered an extremely rare early winter in northern Georgia.
Facing white out conditions, we were considering pulling over to get a hotel room even though it was only 4pm when the driver's side rear tire blew out. Thankfully, I didn't lose control on the icy pavement and was able to guide the car to the shoulder. I think we had a couple of angels watching over us.
Lisa was afraid to wait in the car with Kellisa while I changed the tire, so she flung the oxygen over her shoulder and placed Kellisa inside her jacket before walking through the snow drifts to try and find shelter from the wind inside a thin grove of trees. I had to empty all of our possessions onto the shoulder to get to the spare tire and jack under our trunk. I didn't want to ruin everything, so I placed it back in the car while I changed the tire.
Between the bitter cold and the fact that our new tires were professionally placed o few weeks prior, I was unable to budge a single lug nut. As I struggled, snow blind drivers were racing past just inches from my body. It was hard concentrating knowing Lisa and Kellisa were left alone to fight this blizzard. To my surprise, not a single vehicle stopped to help, including the two highway patrol cars.
I was defeated. I found Lisa huddling over Kellisa and explained our situation. I thought I remembered passing an exit a mile or two back. My plan was to walk back together to find some kind of shelter for Lisa and Kellisa while I got help to change the tire. After an hour of walking through this storm, we finally arrived at the exit.
We were in the middle of nowhere, but this exit had a small restaurant and a gas station. Our first priority was to get Kellisa warm at the restaurant. I explained our situation to the lady behind the counter and asked of Lisa and Kellisa could stay inside until I came back. "They can stay as long as they buy something," was the response.
Out of choices, Lisa stayed and bought a light meal for herself. I left them for the gas station with the promise of returning as soon as possible. I walked across the highway to the gas station. Unfortunately, it did not have a service department or tow truck. The guy working the counter only offered one comment, "It's after 5pm on a Sunday in rural Georgia, you'll have to wait until tomorrow to find help".
The exit didn't have a hotel; we didn't have a cell phone and didn't know anyone for 600 miles. I started walking back to with the hope that something magical would have happened since I was last there and I would now be able to change the tire or maybe someone would stop to help this time.
I was all the way down the on ramp to the expressway when a light bulb went off in my head. I turned around to run back to the gas station. I burst through the door and asked the attendant if he sold WD-40. He did and he pointed me towards the last bottle on the shelf which I gladly purchased with the hope that it would be all the help I needed.
I jogged back to the car with my new found excitement, opened the WD-40 and sprayed the first lug nut. I gave the lug nut wrench a good push down and nearly fell over it moved so freely. I repeated this process four more times and had the tire changed in no time.
I had to pull all of our things back out of the trunk to place the flat tire and jack in there spots. As I was loading our stuff back inside, I saw red lights illuminate the inside of our car. I looked back to see a sheriff's deputy pulling up behind me. He approached the car as I finished loading. I saw him glance at the contents of the car as he asked if I needed any help. I wanted to ask him where he was two hours ago when I needed his help, but I declined his help since the tire was changed and thanked him for stopping.
The deputy recommended getting the tire fixed or replaced before continuing our journey and even suggested a shop that he knew would still be open in the nearest town of any size. I circled back to get Lisa and Kellisa. It was a great relief to pull up to the restaurant and find them still inside. Not wanting to risk getting stranded overnight somewhere in the blizzard, we followed the deputy's directions to the tire shop. Our tire was not fixable, but they had one tire in stock of the same size which we purchased.
The following day we arrived in paradise. Everything was new to us, the warmth, blue skies, lush landscaping, green forests that resemble the jungle, and the ocean. We moved for Kellisa's health, but we hoped it would be good for everyone. We had fun letting our Chicago family know that we were Christmas shopping in 80 degree weather. Most afternoons were spent at the ocean. Kellisa's enjoyed the ocean breeze in her face and would stick out her tongue. It was like we were on a permanent vacation.
We knew people were staring at Kellisa, but no one ever said anything to us until one day when Lisa was holding Kellisa and her oxygen in a line at a retail store. The lady behind us asked, "What's wrong with it?"
We were never embarrassed by Kellisa and took her everywhere we went. The "lady's" comment caught us by surprise and the shock prevented us from answering. All we could do was give her a look of disbelief before paying for our things and leaving. Later, we debated the best come backs for the next time we encountered such a rude and insulting comment.
Christmas 1999 would be Kellisa's first. It was important to Lisa that we spend it with family back in Chicago. We still owned our house in Chicago and most of our possessions were still there. My work had been amazingly patient and I knew I would be missing considerable time due to Kellisa's appointments, so I didn't want to ask for more time off. I had four days off for Christmas and we drove 2,200 miles round trip to spend a few hours with both sides of the family.
Kellisa always slept at the foot of our bed, so we spent Christmas Eve night in Kellisa's bedroom in our house. The three of us slept on the floor waiting to see if Santa Claus knew where to deliver presents for Kellisa. Santa came and left all kinds of educational toys for Kellisa.
This was the only night Kellisa would spend in the room that we decorated and furnished for her and Kirsten.

Wander world. What is that? Where is it and how do we get there? It sounds expensive. (But it's not!) It's a place for the brave hearted and the strong willed. The curious wanderers and lustful nomads drawing people from all over the world, all around the world. A community of wanderous wandering world travelers awaits at any destination you may have, and you will be welcomed with open arms.
I have dreamt of this place my whole life. I knew there had to be a way out of societal norms and into a world I could wander and discover as a whole. I had always wanted to take a year (at least!) to go travel the world but could never seen to find the guts to do it. It all seemed a pipe dream without any real merit. It was a very difficult decision for me to leave everything behind and follow my dream, but once I did, my entire world turned right side up and I became happier than ever. Just a month ago I made this happen for myself and I would love to share the steps I took to get there (here).
If leaving your 9-5 job and traveling the world is your dream, there are some things I recommend you do prior to your departure. Since I left, countless messages have come in from people asking how I did this, so here you go wondering wanderers!
- Lean in. Make the decision and commit to it! You will feel it in your gut the second you make the call. Does it feel right to you? Of course it does! You have dreamt of this your whole life, and here it is right in front of you: the opportunity to go see the world. (Fun fact: that opportunity has always been there, you're just now seeing it, which means you are already on your way and growing!) Get out of your little box and think bigger! When your decision is made and you fully lean into it, you start to realize absolutely nothing in the world could keep you from this path you're about to embark on. A truly beautiful feeling that will carry you through the process of making the dream a reality. Once I knew I was going to make my dream happen for real, I felt more at peace with myself than I ever had before, and then I knew with absolute certainty I was making the right decision.
- Budget your money, honey. Save, raise or earn adequate funds. You don't need as much as you think you do, but you DO need enough to get there and stay for a while, wherever that may be for you. Do your financial research. Learn how to travel on $50 per day. You may change your travel plans at this point to accommodate your budget. For example, if you are on a very tight budget, consider going to a place like Thailand where it is very inexpensive.
- Network, network, network! This will help you more than I can even express. Joining travel groups online through social media is an excellent tool to connect with likeminded travelers like yourself, find inspiration and gain knowledge.
- Lighten up! Start getting rid of things. Once one thing goes, I swear your become addicted. By eliminating clutter from your home and your life, you start to imagine your life as a minimalist and suddenly it dawns on you: YOU DO NOT NEED ALL THAT CRAP. You are trying to be a world traveler after all, and to travel effectively means to travel light.
- Movin' on and out! End your lease (if you have one). I had to break my lease and pay a fee of $1800 (which I do not recommend as it forces unnecessary spending). Be smarter than me and time your trip around when your lease is up or find someone to take over your lease for you. Don't have a lease? Even better! Give your landlord and room mates (if you have them) a generous 30-60 day notice. You never want to burn bridges you may need to cross later on. Plan and manage a smooth exit.
- Put your money where your mouth is! Most people say the best time to book a flight is about six weeks out. Use websites like Skyscanner to book your flight to your dream destination where you will begin your backpacking journey. I used Skyscanner and saved hundreds booking my flight to Spain. One-way tickets can be more expensive than roundtrip so stay patient and shop around for the best deal.
- D-Day! Quit your job. How many times have you said you wanted to do that? Depending on who you are and what you do, this could be extremely difficult or quick and painless for you. For me, it was difficult. I had a great job that provided all the comforts I could have ever wanted and I had a great team to work with. While it was hard, I knew all the while that my true connections with the people at work would last and that if I ever came back we could find a way to work together again.
- Sleeping Beauty, where will you sleep? Book your accommodations for at least the first 5 nights. Depending on how much you plan to move around, you will want to stay at a hostel or rent out an AirBNB for your first leg of travel. Use sites like Hostel World, AirBNB, and Couch Surfer to find a place to sleep without paying hotel prices. Tip: Hostel World has an app you can download on your phone that will keep your credit card on file and make it extremely easy to book a hostel on the go. I always stick to hostels with a 90% rating or higher and make sure they are in the right area of the city you're visiting. Hostels are a great way to connect with other world wanderers and can help you get acclimated to the city quickly. They offer free walking tours daily and have someone at the front desk to help 24 hours a day. I highly recommend staying in a hostel, at least for the first portion of your travels.
- Pack it on up. Have you gotten rid of everything yet? Did you find storage for items you could not get rid of? Ie. Family heirlooms, etc. My friends and family really came in handy for this step. My parents garage is holding a few boxes and my friends are "babysitting," if you will, some of the other items. Everything I needed beyond that would have to fit in my backpack. I have the Ariel 70 backpack from REI and it holds everything I need. Practice packing and unpacking several times until it feels natural to you and you know where everything is.
- Bye Bye Birdie! Say your goodbyes to your friends and family, put on that backpack, and hit the road! This was the best (and worst) part for me. Everything seemed surreal until all I had was my backpack at the airport about to board the plane. You will feel anxious, excited, relieved, light, and heavy all at the time; but do you know what all of that emotion and feeling is? A sign that you are ALIVE! You are finally really living and headed in the direction of your dreams. You are about to embark on a journey that will likely be the best experience of your life and that is worth a hundred trivial steps. To travel and wander the world is to be free; and to be free is EVERYTHING. Fly away to your wander world and be free little birdie. You're going to be great.

Look, just look, at what this guy's been reduced to. Two years ago, he was accepting the Democratic nomination in front of a mock Parthenon; now, to try to recapture the young voters he's lost, he's forced to make chitchat with the host of our generation's Gong Show. What's next? A tango with Michelle on tonight's Dancing With the Stars followed by a pitch to go vote?
I'm almost sad. Almost.
The administration's last-minute push to turn out the vote is spurring some unconventional media outreach efforts. But none of them have been quite as unlikely as that announced on Monday — President Obama will be doing an interview with Ryan Seacrest.
The "American Idol" co-host will be talking to Obama on Election Day for a segment on his radio show, 'On Air with Ryan Seacrest.'…
What, exactly, the point is of doing an interview that will air predominantly in a state that seems to be the one Democratic holdout — and that caters to an audience of not particularly politically-active listeners — is unclear. But the gist seems to be that, in the 11th hour, no stone should be left unturned. Seacrests interview, a source notes, will be broadcast on other stations in addition across the country.
The point, of course, is that The One has long since given up on "acceptable losses" tomorrow and is now hell-bent on stopping the map from turning completely red. In any other year, it'd make no sense to stump for votes in California or hit the trail for a Democratic nominee in Delaware. But this ain't any other year, so now he'll do anything but anything to get young voters' attention. I'm half-surprised he didn't turn up in last night's "Walking Dead" premiere — which was sensational, by the way — doing a little zombie cameo. Imagine him looking up at the camera during that scene where they're all eating the horse and saying, "Gooooooo voooooote." Chills.
Exit question: For the sake of the dignity of the office, is there anything we can offer him to get him to not do this? What if we offered to give back two or three Democratic House seats won by the GOP tomorrow if he'll call it off? If you believe the polls, we'll have plenty to spare.

"Don't tickle me…Punch"
It's easy to forget the outside world when I'm at Minster Golden Gloves Club. Everyone is there for the training, all activity and even the chat is mostly about boxing – total focus. There's still a great feeling of inclusion. Sometimes I'm so engrossed in listening and recording the sounds I don't always hear when one of the trainers teases me or a young boxer suddenly becomes aware of his language, so a tuneful serenade by a trainer directly into the mic is a gentle surprise!
After weeks of focusing on particular sounds and recording with a shotgun mic I've switched to using a contact mic, partly as a way to seperate the general ambient racket from the sounds directly related to boxing; but also because I'm interested in finding the sounds we can't hear directly with our ears through the air, the hidden sounds. I also like the synchronicity of recording a contact sport with a contact mic..!
The club building is built around a central stucture of steel girders with a grid bolted on for hanging the punch bags off. By placing a contact mic on various parts of the steel structure I can record the screech and squeak of the chains that suspend the punch bags allowing them to swing freely, as well as the impact, rhythm and tempo of boxers training on them. There are sounds more deeply submerged under the clammer and clang of punchbags which I've found by clamping the mic to the floor of the ring itself. The base of the ring acts like a sound box, the contact mic picking up the tup and whisp of deft moves, split second timing footwork, hushed feints and sharp thwaps as a glove finds it mark.
Because my contact mic records in mono I've taken to leaving my headphones off one ear, this has the advantage of allowing me to hear the trainers' narrative as they motivate, cajole and push the boxers limits. A supportive stream of instruction, keeping up the boxers rhythm, imprinting the moves into their body's physical memory, as each boxer develops their style and heart. Top quote so far is "Don't tickle me…Punch" . I've been searching for a title, this is the top contender..

Worldwide Campaign to stop the Abuse and Torture of Mind Control/DEWs
Again, it has a few glitches, could have been a bit better, (goes too fast in the beginning, has some slightly weird sentences, ect. ) but I feel it gets the point across. I have better evidence, but not on this computer, My storage unit has the "hardcore" evidence. I wish I could post the electronic attacks, Im sure I could find a way to post some of it, as Ive recorded it, but its humiliating and there is NO way to prove the voice to skull Im still reading accounts on other sites where people are telling victims they have schizophrenia and to take meds . (morons) What will they say when their kid wants a new video game system that works off of brain sensors and doesnt need controllers? That he has schizophrenia and needs meds? No, they will go out and buy their stupid little bastard the toy, thinking its so "new and sophisticated technology". My ass it is.

Living in the U. A. E. isn't much fun. You can either look at "the beautiful sand all around you" or you can go to the clubs and go out with the prostitutes. Well I'm not into the latter and I don't appreciate the former, for some weird reason! Anyway, what I do is go around, talk to people, and observe their behavior toward the non-Muslims and stuff like that.
I used to have long hair, a more of a Pakistani look—when I used to talk to Arabs, they would have this attitude toward me like I am some kind of a slave who is begging them for mercy. But that attitude has changed since I cut my hair short. Now I look more like an Arab (a fact that I don't really appreciate), when I approach somebody to talk, they have this smile on their face like I am one of their long lost brothers and they're really happy I haven't yet blown myself up.
They start talking to me in Arabic, but when I tell them, 'I am not an Arab!' the smile slowly disappears and then I am again reminded, "I am not wanted here."
Well, you know, it is known here that that's normal for Arabs, they're a proud people and that to them, others aren't nearly as good as them—that the rest of the world was actually created to serve them. Well, they can dream all they want—but the sad thing is, people here accept that fact and work for the Arabs without any objection to the way they're treated.
But not every non-Arab is treated badly by the Arabs, if you're making money for them, well they will even kiss your butt, you stop making money—you won't be able to sit on your butt for a month.Next time somebody complains to you about racism in the West, send them to the U. A. E. (or

Builder decision delayed for Vikings stadium
It turns out the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority WON'T be picking a builder for its new stadium tomorrow, as scheduled. The pick was on the monthly meeting agenda, but the MSFA says it's still talking to the two likely contenders, Arizona-based Hunt Construction and Minneapolis-based Mortenson Construction.
"I think we all believe that it's better to make the decision carefully, and make sure we make the right decision, rather than quickly," says MSFA board chairwoman Michele Kelm-Helgen. She notes that the last big contract, for design services, went a little beyond the deadline.
But it also came in under the budget estimate. Kelm-Helgen says they'd like to repeat that.
"I hope so. You know, a lot of this is to try to get the most for the money spent, to try to get the best prices so we can afford to put things into the stadium that are going to be important to everyone," she says.
Kelm-Helgen says she expects a board meeting to announce the award next week.
Here's the official word from the MSFA:

I'm not sure where to begin when talking about Paul O'Connell. For Munster and Ireland he's been involved in and been one of the motivating forces behind several sporting triumphs which have given great joy to both me and my Mum.
If Brian O'Driscoll has the happy knack of making the impossible look easy, and his play had the beauty of artistry, then O'Connell's play showed the starker beauty of hard work and grit. O'Connell in full flight, monstering the opposition (and his own players) is one of the most glorious sights in sport.
From one of the biggest players on any pitch (to quote friend L, O'Connell can loom sitting down) to a man who was one of the smaller guys in any wrestling ring.
American Dragon, as was, was one of the participants in one of my favourite series of wrestling matches. He and Danny Williams wrestled in FWA, ROH and somewhere else, which I have managed to forget. I caught the FWA match on The Wrestling Channel and I just had to, absolutely had to, see the next one (which was the ROH one). I was even willing to suffer ROH's camerawork for them. My problem with old school ROH's camerawork wasn't anything refined as artistic issues, no, it made me seasick and I do actually mean that, no hyperbole is involved. But that match was worth it.
Sadly I missed most of Daniel Bryan's WWE run, including Team Hell No and his championship run, but I'm happy he made it.
And, while I'm sad to see him go, I'm glad he's made the sensible decision to quit given his health.
That's true in both their cases actually, because they're both the kind of stubborn who might not, and both rugby and wrestling are littered with people who should have quit for their own good but didn't.
I think that's something lots of pro-sports, but particularly wrestling (at this point, I'd like to say how sorry I am to hear about Axl Rotten and Balls Mahoney), need to look at – an exit strategy for people too injured to carry on, and too stubborn to realise it.
But to return to my original purpose – let us now raise a virtual glass to Paul O'Connell and Daniel Bryan, for every shout, cheer, curse and delight they've given us.

Jatoba grows in Central and South America, as well as the islands on Cuba, Haiti, and Dominican Republic. The tree is reported to grow in a mixture of areas from wet to dry.
The sapwood, which can be rather wide, is white to gray in color, and may have a pink tint to it. The Heartwood when fresh cut is bright reddish-brown to an orange color and is marked with dark streaks. The heartwood generally darkens upon exposure and kiln drying. The grain is moderately interlocked and the texture ranges from medium to coarse.
The wood can have a moderate blunting effect on tooling. Pre-boring for nailing and screwing is a must. The wood sands well, and is good for both bending and turning.

One year ago today, on January 21, the United States Supreme Court released its decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission.
David Bossie – from Citizens United – reminisces about the US Supreme Court's ruling:
The decision corrected an anomaly in campaign finance law, and in doing so was a tremendous victory for the First Amendment and Americans who wish to participate in our political process.
The case found its origins in 2007 when my group, Citizens United, a membership organization, sought to promote, distribute, and broadcast via video-on-demand a film critical of then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. If Citizens United would have done so, we were told by the FEC that it would have been a willful violation of the provisions of the Bipartisan Campaign Finance Reform Act of 2002 (better known as "McCain-Feingold") which prohibited corporations from making independent expenditures and electioneering communications. This violation was not merely subject to a civil fine, but rather a criminal penalty – I personally would have been sent to jail for promoting the film. Citizens United filed a lawsuit against the Federal Election Commission to defend our right to promote and broadcast the film. It took more than two years, but the First Amendment protection of political speech was restored by the Supreme Court in this landmark ruling.
All this ruling did was uphold the right to engage in free speech and the right to freely associate. The last time I checked, that was one of the key principles this great Nation was built upon. Those who attack this ruling are just doing it because their political agenda is under attack. In their minds, the end justifies the means. They feel it is okay to spit on the 1st Amendment as long as it protects incumbents favored by big labor and their far-left allies. Fortunately for our country, the United Citizens v. FEC ruling allows it so that will no longer happen.
January 21, 2010 was a great day.
*UPDATE* – January 21, 2011 – 4:30 PM
The Cato Institute put together a great video on what truly was/remains at stake:

Traumatic Brain Injuries
TBI – Medical Malpractice
Brain Injury Attorney Helping Victims
Brain damage or traumatic brain injuries can be caused by medical mistakes made by doctors, hospitals, nurses or other medical providers. The majority of traumatic brain injuries are caused during childbirth, either by a delay in performing a necessary c-section, complications with a vaginal birth, or an error causing a traumatic delivery.
It is unfortunate, but true, that a brain injury can occur even with the best possible medical care. In many cases, there is nothing that should have or could have been done to prevent a brain injury.
There are other circumstances, however, in which a brain injury could have been avoided or at least made less severe if appropriate measures had been taken. These mistakes are considered medical malpractice.
If a loved one has suffered a traumatic brain injury, call us now at (800) 888-8888 or contact us by clicking on New York Traumatic Brain Injury Attorney.
