Breast and nipple pain in breastfeeding women is sometimes caused by a thrush (candida) infection in the breast. Breastfed babies can also develop thrush in their mouths.
Thrush infections sometimes happen when your nipples become cracked or damaged. This means the candida fungus that causes thrush can get into your nipple or breast.
Thrush infections can also happen after you or your baby has had a course of antibiotics. Antibiotics may reduce the number of helpful bacteria in the body and allow the candida fungus that causes thrush to flourish.
Signs of thrush in breastfeeding women
You may have a thrush infection in your breasts if:
- you start to feel pain in both nipples or breasts after feeds, having previously had no pain after feeding
- the pain is quite severe and lasts for up to an hour after every feed
It's not likely to be thrush if:
- you have always experienced pain while breastfeeding
- the pain only affects 1 nipple or breast
- you have a fever
- there is a warm, red patch on 1 of your breasts
Symptoms of oral thrush in breastfed babies
Signs to look for include:
- creamy white spots or patches on the tongue, gums, roof of the mouth or insides of the cheeks – if you gently wipe these patches with a clean cloth, they won't come off
- your baby being unsettled when feeding
- a white film on the lips
- in some babies, nappy rash that won't clear up
If you suspect you or your baby has a thrush infection, see your health visitor or GP. They can arrange for swabs to be taken from your nipples and your baby's mouth to see if thrush is present. It's important other causes of breast pain are ruled out before you start treatment for thrush.
If no thrush is present, the pain may be caused by something else, such as poor positioning and attachment. It's important for your midwife, health visitor or a breastfeeding specialist to watch you do a full breastfeed and give advice if needed.
Read more about other possible causes of breast pain.
If either you or your baby does have thrush, you'll need to be treated at the same time as the infection can easily spread between you. It can also spread to other members of the family.
Washing your hands carefully after nappy changes and using separate towels will help prevent the infection spreading. You'll also need to wash and sterilise any dummies, teats or toys your baby puts in their mouth.
You'll need to wash any breastfeeding bras at a high temperature and change your breast pads frequently while you're both being treated.
If you express any breast milk while you have thrush, you'll need to give the milk to your baby while you're still having treatment. Freezing it and using it may mean the thrush comes back at a later date.
Treating thrush when you're breastfeeding
You can carry on breastfeeding while you and your baby are treated for thrush.
Oral thrush in babies is usually treated with an anti-fungal gel or liquid. This is safe for your baby to have. It's important to wash your hands carefully after treating your baby.
See more about treating oral thrush in babies.
Thrush in breastfeeding women is usually treated with a cream that you sparingly spread on and around your nipples after feeds. You'll need to wash your hands thoroughly after treating yourself. Some women may need to take anti-fungal tablets to clear the infection.
Once you and your baby start treatment, your symptoms should improve within 2 to 3 days. It will take a little longer for the infection to clear completely.
If you don't see any improvement within 7 days, speak to your health visitor or GP.

Scientists may have just found an evolutionary answer for why that idiot keeps hanging all over you at the bar without taking the hint that you're just not that into him.
(You know the one… the one who continues to wink at you, or offer to buy you a drink, and you're forced to make out with your husband on the spot in the hopes he'll eventually leave you alone.)
Turns out unattractive men who are looking for a quick hookup, are more likely to overestimate how attractive women find them.
Researchers from Williams College and University of Texas at Austin took 96 men and 103 women, all undergraduates, and put them through a "speed date" type scenario. The men and women first took surveys rating themselves on attractiveness and their level of desire for a short-term sexual encounter. They then talked with five members of the opposite sex for about three minutes each. After the meeting they rated the partners on physical attractiveness and how interested in them sexually the partner appeared to be. The study will be published in the journal Psychological Science.
Researchers found men who were looking for a short-term sexual encounter were more likely to overestimate a woman's desire for them. Men who thought they were hot also overestimated women's desire for them. Furthermore, the more attractive the woman was to the man, the more likely he was to overestimate his desire in her.
Men who were actually considered attractive by the women's rankings did not seem to have this discrepancy in evaluating the situation. Women, for the record, consistently underestimated their male partners' interest in them sexually.
Researchers say there's an evolutionary explanation for this discrepancy.
"There are two ways you can make an error as a man," psychologist Carin Perilloux said. "Either you think, 'Oh, wow, that woman's really interested in me'—and it turns out she's not. There's some cost to that. "
But the other error a man could make is that the woman is interested and he's missed out on a mating opportunity.
"That's a huge cost in terms of reproductive success," Perilloux said.
For men who are looking for casual sex, they're only limited by the number of women they can get to have sex with them, so overestimation also makes sense in that situation, he added.

- Transparency, mixing and reflection of initial flows in relativistic nuclear collisions (2006)
- We propose to use the hadron number fluctuations in the limited momentum regions to study the evolution of initial flows in high energy nuclear collisions. In this method by a proper preparation of a collision sample the projectile and target initial flows are marked in fluctuations in the number of colliding nucleons. We discuss three limiting cases of the evolution of flows, transparency, mixing and reflection, and present for them quantitative predictions obtained within several models. Finally, we apply the method to the NA49 results on fluctuations of the negatively charged hadron multiplicity in Pb+Pb interactions at 158A GeV and conclude that the data favor a hydrodynamical model with a significant degree of mixing of the initial flows at the early stage of collisions.
- Baryon number and electric charge fluctuations in Pb+Pb collisions at SPS energies (2006)
- Event-by-event fluctuations of the net baryon number and electric charge in nucleus-nucleus collisions are studied in Pb+Pb at SPS energies within the HSD transport model. We reveal an important role of the fluctuations in the number of target nucleon participants. They strongly influence all measured fluctuations even in the samples of events with rather rigid centrality trigger. This fact can be used to check different scenarios of nucleus-nucleus collisions by measuring the multiplicity fluctuations as a function of collision centrality in fixed kinematical regions of the projectile and target hemispheres. The HSD results for the event-by-event fluctuations of electric charge in central Pb+Pb collisions at 20, 30, 40, 80 and 158 A GeV are in a good agreement with the NA49 experimental data and considerably larger than expected in a quark-gluon plasma. This demonstrate that the distortions of the initial fluctuations by the hadronization phase and, in particular, by the final resonance decays dominate the observable fluctuations.

The world was denied a breakthrough in food-in-a-can technology and deliciousness when a petty thing like money kept Candwich, the sandwich in a can, off of store shelves. But now it's here.
Peanut butter & grape jelly to start, with BBQ chicken (oh sweet christ) and PB & strawberry jelly on the way. These undying sandwiches run $12 for a 4-pack or $72 for a 24-pack. Pricey! But how many foods are "perfect for emergency food storage needs in the event of natural disasters" and totally delicious? Not very many. [Candwich via Eater]
P.S. Is it sad we have a tag for "food in a can," populated by multiple posts?

So this essay from A.A. Gill might be the greatest thing I've ever seen:
If you want to see the absolute proof that we've got it all wrong—that education is really about the fear and guilt of parents projected onto their children, then go to your own school reunion. Obviously most normal people would rather attend a naked consciousness-raising workshop. But do it once and you'll see what the Adonises and the Venuses of your halcyon days actually did with all that promise. The boy who was captain of everything, who strode the halls like a young Alexander; the girl with the glistening hair who memorized poetry and whose golden limbs danced across a stage as a Juliet no one would ever forget. Well, they're both sorry, seedy never-was-es now. Their finest moments are behind them. Everything after that brilliant year at school or college was mediocrity. Nothing good ever came from peaking too early.
The interesting adults are always the school failures, the weird ones, the losers, the malcontents. This isn't wishful thinking. It's the rule. My advice to any child reading this: If you're particularly good at the violin or math, for God's sake don't let anyone find out. Particularly your parents. If they know you're good at stuff they'll force you to do it forever. You'll wake up and find yourself in a sweaty dinner jacket and clip-on bow tie playing "The Music of the Night" for the ten-thousandth time in an orchestra pit. Or you'll be the fat, 40-ish accountant doing taxes for the people who spent their school days copping a feel and learning how to roll a good joint.
Now, Mom and Dad, I swear to God I wasn't rolling joints at 17. But there is plenty to be said for letting young minds do what they enjoy -- and much more for the thesis that kids need social skills more than specific talents. So there's that. Happy Thanksgiving weekend, everyone.

Here you can find my solution for i18n using .properties files (ala Java) Hope you can find this useful!
Here you can find my solution for i18n using .properties files (ala Java) Hope you can find this useful!
This is an interesting approach. I do something similar in the post below, the difference being I use js objects to store values instead of properties files:
Eventually I would like to get a response from the Sencha Touch crew to see if they have an officially sanctioned way to do I18N. An API from them would be awesome ... but I haven't heard anything about that.
It seems that link is private.
I too would love for Sencha to offer an official path.
Olivier - interfaSys
Developing custom solutions for BlackBerry 10 using Sencha Touch.
AFAIK, Sencha or ExtJS has a way to do i18n by loading .js files that override variables used to represent text.
This solution doesn't aim to replace that methodology but it comes to solve a common issue when you work with Java code in backend. At the time I started this component I was working with a lot of Java and I needed to re-use or integrate its i18n solution in order to not have multiple path to the same way.
Despite of that, I believe that we need a better strategy for i18n but that is a different topic.
Here is the content from the above link that does not work for non-premium members.
My app has content that is being localized, and I am curious if there is a suggested approach for an I18N implementation. I have an idea about what could be done, but would like to know if I'm doing it all wrong.
Basically I need all the localized resources before the app is initialized, so they can be used as component configuration values. To do this, I do something like
To clarify, Localization is not an existing object. It is created in my code before my app is launched, and contains logic to get the correct strings based on browser locale. Then in the app I can do things like:Code:Localization.onReady(startApp())
I can use the global navigator object to detect browser locale and get the right strings that way, so no worries there.Code:var myButton = new Ext.Button({text: Localization.getLocalizedString('mybuttonresourcekey')});
Is this the right approach? I'm mostly questioning the way I use the Localization.onReady before Ext.onReady to start the app. Thanks for any advice you can lend, or documentation you can point me to.
This is an oldie but it is how i18n is proposed from ExtJS devs point of view:
This is some kind of workaround. You can override your localized variables by js code. In this example, when you change or select a different language, a new .js file is loaded and its content will override your already defined variables.
I'm struggling for a week now on internationalizing my application. I tried above hints and tips, but my situation is each time slightly different so it's difficult to find the correct solution.
I'm creating an application with Phonegap, so I can not make use of server things. Everything needs to be in Javascript.
I tried the Ext way of doing i18n, but the problem is that I can't find how to refresh the page so that it is using the new values. Should I destroy everything and load it again? In the beginning all my panels were created with ... = new ..., but I already changed that to classes to call the initComponent method. Creating all the panels again is a lot of work because I have a lot of panels.
I also tried it with a seperate object in which the strings are, but again, the strings are refreshed in this object but I can't find out how to refresh them in the panels.
Thanks already for your hints and tips. it already helped me a lot.
Hi again,
I just tried to call the initComponent methods, and that is changing the values but it still doesn't refresh the rendered html. is there some kind of render method you can call manually?
I got it working by destroying my viewport and creating it again. This loads all the panels again with the correct language and renders them again. It happens without flickering for the user.

The Troy church where a priest has been accused of mishandling at least $429,000 is asking its patrons to donate money in honor of the embattled reverend.
St. Thomas More Catholic Church sent out a letter to parishioners seeking donations for its annual Catholic Services Appeal, reports WWJ.
The AM news station obtained a copy of the letter sent to one couple, which focuses heavily on Rev. Edward Belczak, who was asked to step aside from his duties while the FBI investigates the allegations against him.
'Fr. Belczak has built up and sustained a very dynamic community of faith at St. Thomas More - thanks to all of you and the grace of the Holy Spirit,' the letter reads in part.
'The best tribute you could give to Fr. Belczak's ministry would be to continue to support every aspect of the parish, including this CSA campaign.'
Belczak is accused of paying a 'ghost employee' $240,000. He's also accused of taking $92,000 more than what he was supposed to receive in compensation.
The letter warns that the lack of a donation would not 'send a message of frustration or disappointment to the Archbishop.'
The letter, written by administrator John Zenz, seems to indicate that parishioners largely support the embattled reverend.
'I completely understand your loving support and concern for him and share your pain that he is not with us at this time due to the process of investigating financial and management concerns which surfaced during last year's parish audit,' the letter states.
'I do not know when judgment will be made by church and civil authorities but in the interval, I thank you for your support for the parish and its financial responsibility toward the well-being of the whole Archdiocese through the annual CSA.'
The parish has a goal of $291,770.
'If we exceed our target, the parish will benefit from those extra funds and they can be used for various projects around the parish; if we do not reach our target, we will have to fulfill our target obligation to the Archdiocese from funds on deposit,' the letter states.

The renowned Chinese artist Ai WeiWei's "Bang" installation on display in the German Pavillion at the Venice Biennale this year, brings together themes of dwindling customs, culture and sustainability. The tower of tangled wooden stools are made from sturdy wood by skilled craftsman and were handed down from generation to generation.
"For his installation for the German representation at the French Pavilion, Ai Weiwei has assembled 886 three-legged wooden stools. In today's China, the three-legged stool is an antique. Manufactured by a uniform method, it was in use throughout China and in all sectors of society for centuries."
"Every family had at least one stool, which served all sorts of domestic purposes and was passed on from generation to generation. After the Cultural Revolution, which began in 1966, and the subsequent modernization of the country, however, production of these stools plummeted. Aluminum and plastic have superseded wood as the standard material for furniture." Susanne Gaensheimer states in the foreword of the official publication of the German Pavilion at the Biennale di Venezia 2013
She continues to describe the significance of the way the stools are arranged and WeiWei's metaphoric intentions behind the installation.
"Out of 886 of these stereotyped and yet highly individual objects, Ai Weiwei, recruiting traditional craftsmen who possess the necessary and now rare expertise, has created an expansive rhizomatic structure whose sprawling growth recalls the rampantly proliferating organisms of this world's megacities. The single stool as part of an encompassing sculptural structure may be read as a metaphor for the individual and its relation to an overarching and excessive system in a postmodern world developing at lightning speed.
"In the present exhibition, it functions also as a metaphor of the themes addressed in the works of Romuald Karmakar, Santu Mofokeng, and Dayanita Singh, each of whom has devised distinctive techniques to present a variety of perspectives on how biographical, cultural, or political identity is related to larger, transnational conditions and circumstances."

Content marketing is the King
- POSTED BY Frederick Cockshoot IN Marketing
Content marketing – this is a brilliant SEO strategy, perhaps even more powerful than link building. A savvy way to get higher rankings and greater volume of organic traffic to the site is to initiate and speed up the transition from the search engine marketing strategies to content marketing.
A research in this area, carried out this April by HTP, a successful digital marketing agency Manchester with 10 years of experience under the belt, revealed some interesting results. There are two categories of clients: the first has a strong social media involvement, while the second one is poorly engaged with social platforms. Web sites with weak social profile lose 19.5% of organic traffic, whereas in sites with a strong social orientation this mark increases by 42.6%.
To date, Google appreciates the authorship as an indicator of the site success. And the most important thing in the SEO-campaign is action. Analysis and audit of the sites are important, but they do not improve the performance – the absence of strategic updates. If you move forward and take action, the performance of your site, at least not worsen, because at the same time, your competitors are also taking steps to promote their businesses.
At each site, a variety of SEO-needs and requirements may emerge, but the common thing is that all websites need to increase the amount of good content, and references of higher quality. In that case, why not just develop good content and create quality links?
If you focus on achieving success through link building based on SEO, even in the best case it will only be a tactic which effeсе is designed for a limited time. Link building should be a byproduct of good content; it should be treated like a tactic, while the content marketing – as a strategy. If your goal is to build links for the implementation of SEO tactics and nothing else, you only need to employ Google algorithm and squeeze out of the most of it, but in any case it will not give long-term results.
To create a long-term relationship with the audience, you need to think about search engine audience, traffic, references, citations, subscribers, ratings, customer – and, surely, profitability.
The backlinks end is near?
What happens if backlinks will no longer be taken into account by search algorithms? The guys from HTP, involved in digital marketing manchester promotion for more than 10 years believe the day will inevitably come.

People stuffing their faces at the pizza joint next door haven't a clue what's going on. In an unassuming strip mall in Houston, as the creamy alfredo sauce dribbles down the chin of yet another obese American, Late Model Racecraft is building the fastest LS-powered machines on the planet. LMR's shop car, a 2,500hp fourth-gen F-body, rips 7.24-at-209 mph quarter-mile passes on a stock-style suspension and drag radials. The LMR crew has also made a habit of dominating the Texas Mile, having run 246.4 mph in customer Kelly Bise's twin-turbo 2000 Camaro SS. With this apparent emphasis on all-out race cars, you might assume that LMR doesn't even bother building street cars, but that's simply not the case. By combining its know-how from the racing arena into its street cars, LMR builds some of the meanest late-models that have ever been turned loose into the asphalt jungle.
With the explosive popularity of the fifth-gen Camaro, there's always at least a half-dozen of them inside LMR's shop doors on any given day, so let's just say they know these things inside and out. After all, this is the same shop that built the world's first 9-second 2010 Camaro. To make things easier for shoppers, LMR has compiled a decadent menu of performance packages ranging from simple 50hp bolt-on upgrades to 900hp nitrous'd stroker motors. All you have to do is decide how much power you want, drop off your car, and then light up the meats for two blocks after the installation is complete.
To find out what goes into each of LMR's fifth-gen Camaro packages, we took a trip down to the shop to check them out up close. The entry-level Street Stalker package includes an LMR cold-air induction system, stainless steel 1.875-inch long-tube headers, high-flow catalytic converters, and a custom dyno tune. For an out-the-door price of $3,299, this bumps the hp total up to 475. Want even more power? No problem. By using the components from the Street Stalker package as a solid foundation for airflow, hundreds of extra horsepower can be added from a bevy of different menu options.
SlayerSure, the 50 hp that the Street Stalker package gets you over a stock LS3 is substantial on paper, but stomp the gas a few times, and you'll already be numb to the extra grunt. That's where the Slayer package comes in. Everyone already knows that the factory LS3 and L99 camshafts are tiny by performance standards, especially considering the phenomenal flow of the LS3 cylinder heads. To remedy this shortcoming, the Slayer package includes a custom camshaft that bumps output to 530 hp (462 at rear wheels) while retaining stock-like drivability. This is on top of the cold air intake, American Racing headers, high-flow cats, and the custom tune that come with the Street Stalker package. Other supporting mods include NGK spark plugs, MSD plug wires, a 160-degree thermostat, an underdrive pulley kit, and a factory exhaust system modified for maximum flow.
The Gist: Street Stalker + Bigger Cam
Output: 530 hp
Price: $5,999
ReaperJust when you think your SS is sitting pretty on top of the fifth-gen totem pole, GM launches the incredible 580hp ZL1. Fortunately, you can out gun the new LSA small-block with LMR's Reaper package while keeping things naturally aspirated. The recipe is simple. Take all the goodies from the Slayer package, then add a set of CNC-ported LS3 cylinder heads that flow an impressive 360 cfm. Other upgrades include ARP head bolts, Comp Cams pushrods, and custom "Reaper" badging. A Fast intake manifold is optional. For $9,999, the result is a cool 600 hp (504 at rear wheels) without having to rely on a supercharger. Considering that the ZL1 costs $25,000 more than an SS, the Reaper package offers a far more economical way to make just as much power. Take that, ZL1.
The Gist: Slayer + Ported Cylinder Heads
Output: 600 hp
Price: $9,999
Twisted SlayerEven someone who just crawled out of a cave will tell you that superchargers are incredibly popular upgrades for fifth-gen Camaros. It doesn't take a genius to figure out why. With cylinder heads that flow like mad, all it takes is a little bit of boost to make a ton of power. As such, LMR offers the option to add a Magnuson TVS 2300 supercharger to any of its fifth-gen packages for an additional $9,999. At just six psi of boost, the result is an extra 150 hp. On a car already equipped with a Slayer package, that brings the hp total to 750 (635 at rear wheels). The blower kit includes the supercharger assembly, an air-to-water intercooler, fuel rails, injectors, and pulleys.
The Gist: Slayer + Supercharger
Output: 680 hp
Price: $15,998
Twisted ReaperThis is where things start getting out of control. Throwing a supercharger on top of an already potent Reaper-enhanced Camaro nets a conservative 750 hp. We say conservative because while LMR rates the Twisted Reaper at 750 hp at the crank, it actually lays down 701 hp at the rear wheels. That kind of grunt is good for solid 10-second e.t.'s, despite the fifth-gen's hefty weight. Peak horsepower numbers aside, the true benefit of roots-style superchargers is the tremendous bump in low- and mid-range torque that they offer. Plus, since they fit underneath the stock hood, no one will know the kind of heat you're packing until it's too late.
The Gist: Reaper + Supercharger
Output: 750 hp
Price: $19,998
PunisherFor the ultimate in naturally aspirated power, the Punisher is king. The upgrade package essentially swaps out your stock LS3 or L99 for a built 440ci LS7. The combo is based on a factory LS7 block fitted with a Callies 4.125-inch crank and rods, Wiseco pistons, a custom hydraulic roller cam, a Roll Master timing set, ported LS7 cylinder heads, and a port-matched Fast intake manifold. Of course, long-tube headers, an LMR cold-air kit, underdrive pulleys, and a custom tune are part of the package as well. For manual transmission cars, LMR will also throw in a twin-disc carbon clutch. The result is 700 hp (600 at rear wheels) on motor, and 900 hp (764 at rear wheels) with an optional nitrous kit.
The Gist: 440ci LS7
Output: 700 hp N/A, 900 hp on N20
Price: $29,999


text: I'm a c4/5 quad complete no feeling below my collar bone 15 yrs. post injury. Both of my hips are dislocated and have been for years but when it first happened it caused heavy sweating when I sat up in my chair but with some seating changes and time they seemed to settle in a position and the sweating stopped. But this past week my left hip some how must have shifted out of its comfort zone and now every morning as soon as I sit in my chair heavy sweating starts and my leg starts twitching and spasming trying to turn in ward. I was hoping anyone had any information or experience with this if it keeps up I'll have to look into seating changes again i just don't want to have to be on heavy pain killers to stop the pain and sweating. When I'm down in bed I'm fine I have my hip and leg stabilized straight with a few pilllows underneath them. But as soon as I land in my chair it turns in and the pain and sweating starts very frustrating.

The medieval Byland Abbey
Thanks! We plan to archive the etrnie discussion, tweet by tweet, using Storify or similar, but also provide a blog post that summarises the points that came up, which should be done by early the following week.
It must be a Roman gate of settlement in middle Europe (wind wheels, angle of the sun in fall, farmland) either in France, Sout West Germany or in Austria. ..... It's exactly the "Heidentor of Carnuntum".
Guys,I've been a free user of your seevicrs for about 10 years. No Complaints with your great organization.Thanks for having the guts to keep your customers updated on the events at PayPal.I'm surprised that Ebay hasn't leveraged the issue to put pressure for a timely resolution.
As sad as this story is. The criminals must take all the blame for this.They are the ones that broke the law, there aitocns got a girl killed, and now a young man/criminal must live the rest of his life knowing that he killed his girl.I agree with what the grove owner did and the aitocns of the local law enforcement.If we could only get this kind of laws passed in California.

It was an appropriate end to our first week of daily BradCast shows. In a week filled with quickly moving breaking news to keep us on our toes here at BRAD BLOG World News Headquarters, it ended with the breaking news of major criminal indictments in both the Freddie Gray case in Baltimore and in Chris Christie's NJ "BridgeGate" scandal.
After covering both of those, my guest today was Larry Pfeifer, otherwise known as "Easton Eliot", or the man who hoaxed Rush Limbaugh and the entire Rightwing media bubble into running with the false story that Harry Reid's eye injury was caused by his brother who beat him up over the New Year's holiday.
Larry, who says he has never been involved in politics --- he told me he's never even voted before! --- explains exactly how the ruse came about, how the wingnuts fell for his scam hook, line and sinker, and why he's now created CleanUpTheMedia.com in its wake.
Plus: Bernie Sanders raises a lot of money since announcing his candidacy for 2016; the loss of an R&B legend; and speaking of hoaxes, the NRA's latest fund raising scam.
What a week! My thanks to all our fantastic guests this week and to all of our affiliate partners and listeners for your support! If you missed any of this week's shows, they're all here. We're back Monday to do it all again! Enjoy today's program!...

As usual, none of the Sunday school teachers can handle the restless bundle. But our lady continues teaching, serene and smiling. At tea time, she approaches Hendri, takes him in her arms and gives this five-year-old boy a big hug with all the warmth of Christ' love she has. We are amazed and impressed, all the more because, for the first time, Hendri sits quietly for the following sessions. He even joins in whatever the lady asks the children to do.
That moment impacted the rest of my life.

Welcome to Must Read, where we single out the best stories from around the automotive universe and beyond. Today we have reports from Men's Journal, Panther Racing, and Petrolicious.
Blending the Old and the New in a Vintage Benz — Men's Journal
From a time when Mercs were tanks.
If you worship the timeless elegance and over-engineered stolidity of the vehicles that Mercedes-Benz produced in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, then JG Francis's Mercedes Motoring workshop is your heaven. Located on an industrial stretch in Glendale, California, the shop – filled with natural light from the dozen skylights piercing the boat-trussed wooden ceiling – is lined with meticulously reconditioned cars, packed together like avocado green, tobacco brown, and harvest gold sardines.
A Tribute To All Veterans, Past And Present, And The Impact They've Made — Panther Racing
IndyCar team Panther Racing has been sponsored by the National Guard for years. PR man Mike Kitchel penned this wonderful tribute.
I've been around for more than 30 Veterans Days, and probably let most of them pass without much notice. I'm sure somewhere in the back of my head I understood what Veterans Day was all about, but I never gave it the respect it has earned. This week I started thinking how much my perspective has changed – having spent a better part of the last five years working on an IndyCar dressed in camouflage, and interacting daily with people wearing the uniform that symbolizes the importance of what today really means.
In Defense Of The Garage Queen — Petrolicious
We tend to poo poo cars that don't get driven. But maybe, just maybe, we're in the wrong.
If there is one perpetual whipping boy in the automotive world, it is the "garage queen." These are the vehicles that are restored to conditions better than was even possible when they were first built, and then locked away inside climate controlled garages, brought into the light of day perhaps once or twice a year. They are never, ever driven but instead are trailered about the country in the quest for a piece of blue ribbon. They can range from $10,000 Datsuns to stratospheric $30 million Ferraris and Bugattis. You'll find no love lost for these white-glove-coddled machines amongst us enthusiasts – but what if that is all wrong?

Off the mat – Self-ness, the Yamas and Niyamas
Once our minds have constructed the notion of "I," it becomes our central reference point. We attach to it and identify with it totally. We attempt to advance what appears to be its interests, to defend it against real or apparent threats and menaces. And we look for ego-affirmation at every turn: confirmation that we exist and are valued. The Gordian Knot of preoccupations arising from all this absorbs us exclusively, at times to the point of obsession. This is, however, a narrow and constricted way of being. Though we cannot see it when caught in the convolutions of ego, there is something in us that is larger and deeper: a wholly other way of being.(1)
We started our conversation about the eight limbs of the practice of Yoga with the discussion of the yamas, or ethical practices, first, and the niyamas, or self-discipline, second. Though they may seem pretty familiar to folk who have been taught to live ethical, responsible lives, deeply integrating them into our lives is a powerful way to begin maturing and developing both the discipline and the insight needed for liberation.
As a reminder, the yamas:
Ahimsa – non-harming
Satya – truthfulness
Asteya – non-stealing
Brahmacharya – avoiding sexual misconduct
Aparigraha – non-grasping
The niyamas:
Saucha – purity
Santosha – contentment
Tapas – intensity or fire
Svadhyaya – self-study
Ishvara pranidhana – alignment with existence
Before moving to the third limb of the path of Yoga – pranayama, or energy control – I wanted to pause to talk about a particular practice I've recently learned that provides an effective way of integrating the yamas and niyamas in daily life. I have a tendency to think of all kinds of instructions like them as "shoulds" or "oughts" or (worse) "have to"s. I was raised in a relatively strict religious tradition that entailed (with a lot of very important benefits) lots of emphasis on commandments. But when I start thinking of the yamas and niyamas as commandments, I fall back into my traditional understanding of myself separate and apart from the commandment-giver, and – further – separate and apart from the action itself.
Patanjali and others (the Buddha, in particular) help us to see that viewing the individual as separate from the actions of the is an artificial convention – not that it's not useful in some regards – just that it's no more "natural" or "right" or "complete" or accurate a picture than a variety of other ways of seeing and conceiving. The convention may be useful for some purposes, but mistaking the conventional perspective for something permanent and inalterable and "right" really limits our ability to see and understand clearly.
So if we don't think of them as commandments of one sort or another, how should we approach the yamas and niyamas in life off the mat?
Here's the practice – I first found it in The Diamond Cutter(2), a book by Geshe Michael Roach – and it comes in three steps, each one building on the previous one:
1. Close observation. Though the practice works with regard to any relationship, I found it easiest to start the practice by picking someone I interact with frequently. So the next time you interact with the person, make an effort to really observe the person closely. Notice what she says, what he is wearing, how she holds her body as she stands or sits, the ways he speaks and pauses, everything you can. After that interaction is done, take a minute or two to make some notes of your observations to help cement the perceptions in your mind. Approach the exercise as if you were going to become that person's personal assistant, and wanted to know everything that you could to facilitate interacting with the person professionally and usefully going forward.
2. Go inside. The next part of the practice requires a bit more effort, a bit of laying aside your own thoughts, needs, wants, etc., but if your experience is like mine, it's really interesting mental shift. After the first encounter with the person, and after the note-taking, the next time you interact with the person, try to imagine how that person is experiencing the interaction with you. Imagine what the interaction with you is like from her side; what he is expecting, thinking, needing, wanting, hoping for; how she perceives your words and actions; and what you can do to be of use to the person in that situation. For me, the first time I tried this, it was like pulling back a curtain and finding a window I had forgotten was there. I could suddenly see how much of my interaction with that person before then had been a stumbling combination of projecting my own wants and desires, thinking about my concerns, and unconsciously assuming that the other person was getting what I thought needed to be understood.
3. Expand your view of "me." The third step is the natural extension of the second, though you don't need to be in a hurry to finish with the second step. My experience is that practicing the second on different occasions with different people can reveal more than just a single insight or understanding. But once you're ready to move along to the next step, here's the exercise: Go through the second step again to get as clear a sense as you can of how the situation feels and what it looks like from the other person's perspective, then imagine a bubble big enough to hold both you and the other person inside. And instead of thinking about "me" and the "other person," think about each as a part of something composed of both of you.
From that expanded perspective, review your expectations, wants, needs, concerns, not as the limited you before the bubble occurred, but the expanded you. You now have two concentrations of matter and form, rather than just one. You now look out on the world through four eyes, rather than two. You now have two perspectives on every situation, rather than one. You now have two bodies to care for and protect, rather than one. In some ways, your connection to the new "part" of "you" isn't as strong as your connections to the narrower self you started with before the exercise.
Those connections and interactions will take time to stabilize and deepen. Remember the first time that you tried Natarajasana (Dancer's Pose)? The connection between your vision and the standing leg and the balancing sense took a while to "see" one another clearly enough to hold the pose comfortably. My experience with this third practice stage has taken a while to stabilize. In some ways, I still haven't fulfilled my original expectations. But in other ways, I've discovered things that I never even guessed at.
Over time, you may find that for you, too, the connections between what you previously thought of as your self and the other person will strengthen. You may find yourself thinking of your skin as not the outer boundary of "your self," but rather an interface – a sensing organ – that connects parts of you to other parts of you. And you may find that you interact more gracefully with the other parts of you than you did before.
But back to the original topic – with this practice, you're likely to find that the more you live with this expanded understanding of "you," living the yamas goes from a "should" or an "ought to" to something as practical as pulling your hand out of a flame. Living the niyamas will feel as normal as avoiding something you discover you're allergic to.
One evening, my wife and I attended a reception with several friends and acquaintances. When we got to a buffet table, one friend turned to me and asked if a particular dish had shrimp in it. I'd tasted it already, and said, yes, it did. He looked carefully and seriously at it, then he shook his head sadly and said, "It just doesn't look good enough." I told him it was pretty good, and he went through the same actions, and said the same thing. Then after playing with me a little longer, he added with a grin, "I'm allergic. My doctor told me that if I ever ate shellfish again, I'd die, and that just doesn't look good enough to be worth it." He chuckled to himself and headed for the guacamole.
My friend's diet choice was a niyama – a recognition that his life would be better (or in his case, "possible") only by choosing to forego something that might have looked just fine from the perspective of someone else. As you practice your yoga on and off the mat, you needn't contrive to practice the yamas and niyamas. Life seems to have lots of ways to present us with opportunities to be contented or perturbed, to do harm or not, to be disciplined or lackadaisical, to speak truth or spin lies. When life gives you such a chance, just notice what happens. Notice what you do, notice how the expanded you responds. Notice everything. And then consider whether a different approach might yield even better outcomes.
What has been your experience with the various yamas and niyamas?

Encountering another mind
Yesterday my son and I went scuba diving off the coast of Kaua'i, which was pretty cool.
But what was better – holding a medium-sized octopus in my hands for a couple of moments. It flashed through four or five color changes in those moments, jetting water to press against my right palm that cupped its bulbous head, while a couple of tentacles suckered themselves to my left. Their velvety insistence seemed an unexpected counterpoint to the gentle effort its head made toward escape.
Perhaps humans are not the only ones whose bodies and heads seem to have minds of their own.

Agent-based systems engineering
Agent-based systems engineering aims to successfully cross-fertilize the fields of systems engineering and artificial intelligence. Systems engineering (control, signal processing and communications) focuses primarily on physical domains that can be characterized by rich mathematical dynamics while artificial intelligence deals with human perception, decision making and action. Goals of such cross-fertilization are to explore the modeling, performance and scientific foundations of software agent systems using ideas from classical systems engineering and computer engineering.

Davis battles blister, nerves in first Derby experience
O's first baseman belts 12 homers over first two rounds, will be fine for All-Star Game
NEW YORK -- On Monday night at Citi Field, all eyes were on Orioles first baseman Chris Davis as baseball's hottest hitter brought his slugging skills to the 2013 Chevrolet Home Run Derby.
Davis hit a total of 12 home runs in the first two rounds of play but was unable to move on to the finals.
In the first round, Davis finished second with eight home runs, hitting an average distance of 409 feet. The longest was a 451-foot blast that just missed the Chevrolet Silverado parked in center field. A's outfielder Yoenis Cespedis ran away with Round 1 with 17 home runs and won the title after outhomering Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper in the finals.
In the second round, Davis hit four home runs, the longest of which was a 461-footer to right-center field.
Early in the second round, after taking extra cuts in the cage to stay loose between rounds, Davis felt a blister forming on his right palm, which caused him to switch his batting gloves later in the round.
"This is something that happens usually once a year from swinging so much," he said. "I started to feel it early in the second round and thought, 'OK, just hang on to the bat.' It was a callus, but I guess this many consecutive swings and it decided to blow open. The skin came off a little bit, but it's not a big deal. I'll be fine for tomorrow [as a starter in the All-Star Game at 7:30 p.m. ET on FOX]."
The task of pitching to Davis was given to Einar Diaz. His official title with the Orioles is assistant hitting coach, but he often fills in as bullpen coach or at first base, and nearly always throws batting practice to Davis.
"Einar has thrown to me every day since Spring Training, and I feel comfortable with him," Davis said. "I told him to put it in the middle of the plate and I'll do the rest. He throws the ball down the middle and he throws it with a little heat on it, just the way I like it."
One other thing was important to Davis: "When I looked Einar in the eye and asked him if he was going to get nervous, he said no," Davis said. "So that was cool."
Monday night, it was Davis who got a little nervous.
"I was a little anxious right before everything started, just knowing I'd have to wait and not really having had this experience before," he said. "But once I got in there and hit a few, I felt pretty good."
Davis, only too aware of the talk of Derby participants who change their swings to hit more home runs and then struggle in the second half of the season, made a concerted effort to stay true to his normal mechanics.
"I wanted to be conscious of not changing my swing at all," he said. "I tried to stay up the middle and let the ball travel and not try to get pull heavy. But it looks a lot easier on TV than it really is. Once you get out there and start swinging and your adrenaline wears off, you realize how tough the Derby really is. It's exhausting."
Davis, a first-time All-Star, won the job to start Tuesday's All-Star Game at first base with a monstrous 8,272,243 votes, more than any other All-Star. He was promptly selected by Yankees second baseman and American League Home Run Derby captain Robinson Cano to participate in Monday's Home Run Derby.
"The Home Run Derby is something you watch as a child and dream about doing someday, so when I got the opportunity, I jumped at it," Davis said. "Robbie asked me even before the All-Star rosters were official if I'd be interested, and I said for sure I would do it."
With the monster first half turned in by Davis, it's no surprise Cano was eager to ensure the big lefty was a lock for the AL squad.
On Sunday, in the Orioles' last game before the break, Davis hit a two-run shot off of Blue Jays right-hander Josh Johnson for his 37th home run of the season. The blast tied an American League record for home runs before the break, set by Reggie Jackson in 1969.
Though Davis suffered through a recent 0-for-17 slump, he broke out of it in grand style, homering in each of his last four games heading into the Midsummer Classic. He leads the league in home runs and slugging percentage (.717), and his 93 RBIs are second only to Miguel Cabrera's 95. Davis and Cabrera are also the only players in big league history to record 90 RBIs and 30 home runs before the All-Star break.

DemocracyOS To Launch Online Platform in March

"You are here to make decisions with others." That is the raison d'être of DemocracyOS: to help groups of people come to a decision in a democratic fashion. The team behind the software began working on the code in April 2012, and it has been available on Github for almost as long, but users had to be relatively savvy. The open-source platform they are currently developing, with support from Y Combinator, will allow anyone to launch a "democracy" in minutes, just as someone without any knowledge of code can launch a blog on Wordpress.

READ about Piers Morgan's long career in journalism here.
With a collection of jaw-dropping scandals having seemingly dominated the recent news cycle, on Monday evening "Piers Morgan Live" welcomed Judy Smith, a woman who makes her living minimizing damage within the media.
As the president and CEO of Smith & Company, a crisis management firm, and the inspiration for the main character in ABC's hit drama "Scandal," Smith is all too familiar with philandering politicians and short-sighted celebrities.
Joining Piers Morgan for a live interview, Smith offered her thoughts on a man who could be described as both, Toronto's embattled mayor, Rob Ford:
"He has been trying to position himself by a YouTube channel, a radio show, a TV show, which is all amazing to me," said Smith. "He needs to resign."
With the real life Olivia Pope seated directly across from him, Morgan asked Smith to identify the more harmful vice: narcotics, sex, or corruption.
"I say drugs. Let me tell you why I say drugs: because the reason why the Mayor here, said that he used cocaine, when he was in a drunken stupor, is because people tend to think that the American public will digest better if you have a drinking problem, than whether you have a problem using crack cocaine," Smith told the host. "It's a deadly combination. I mean, for you guys [CNN, cable news] this case is probably a gift that keeps on giving, that early Christmas present, because it has crack, it has drugs, sex, and all of that."
Watch the clip for more of Morgan's interview with Smith, including her evaluation of the higher standard that public officials are held to, and for the next edition of "Piers Morgan Live," watch CNN every night at 9.

I'm sick to death of Piers playing a recording of President Obama saying "if you like your insurance, you can keep.........," etc. This is then followed by a diatribe about the veracity of the president. First of all, this is old news. Secondly, Piers uses this time to take up part of his program instead of providing new information. Thirdly, Piers isn't even an American citizen so who is he to be so vehement about what citizens of this country ought to think and believe? I believe that above all, President Obama is an honorable man. I find myself switching to another channel more and more instead of watching Piers repeat this schtick.

It was at this past year's UFC fighter summit that lightweights Melvin Guillard and Jeremy Stephens first decided it would be a good idea for them to fight.
Guillard (24-8 MMA, 7-4 UFC) beat Stephens (17-5 MMA, 5-4 UFC) to the punch, so to speak, by publicly asking for a seal of approval on the matchup.
But while Stephens wasn't thrilled about being called out, he's not too bent out of shape. He doesn't think Guillard has the mindset to win when they meet Saturday at UFC 119.
"I know he's around a good camp and a good group of guys," Stephens told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). "I just don't think he has the mentality to beat me. I don't think he's been through any of the wars that I've been through."
Stephens, a Des Moines native, wants to make it clear he's not trying to speak ill of his opponent. His likes Guillard on a personal level. But he does believe he's tougher mentally, and that's going to show inside the cage.
"When the fight doesn't go his way, he breaks," Stevens said of his opponent. "He looks for a way out. I'm not talking crap about him. That's just what everybody in the world sees when Melvin Guillard fights.
"You can't break me. You push the pace and you want to bring it at a higher level, that's just going to crank up my volume. I just feel like with the things that I've been through in my life, I can't and won't be mentally broken."
Stephens points to his most recent fight, a "Fight of the Night" meeting with Sam Stout at UFC 113, as proof of his toughness in the heat of battle. It was his second consecutive win after a two-fight slide to Joe Lauzon and Gleison Tibau that put his career on the rocks.
It rattled Stephens so much that he started a regimen to re-program his thoughts in training camp.
"When I'm preparing for my fights, I do this thing," Stephrns said. "Basically, it's a visualization; it takes you through different scenarios, and this guy's talking and he calms you down. What I really try to do in my training is leave it out there on the mat, but to also channel that energy and keep it inside me, so as I'm walking out and I'm getting in the octagon, that energy comes out.
"Because after those two losses in a row, I just don't ever want to feel that again. I just tell myself, 'This could be the last time you ever fight.' I want every performance from here on out to be my best."
Guillard, as well, has been on a path to re-invent himself. After tumultuous times in and outside of the octagon, he joined famed trainer Greg Jackson's stable in an effort to re-wire his preparation for fights. He has often credited the switch for his current two-fight win streak; most recently, he took out Waylon Lowe with a knee to the body and bested Ronnys Torres on points at UFC 109.
But Stephens said the change is just a band-aid on a bigger problem with focus.
"Melvin, he just goes to Greg Jackson on a six (or) seven-week notice and he thinks that's going to work for him," he said. "I have my guys around me full-time. They push me. Out here in San Diego, I just have my training partners and coaches.
"They're not the ones that are going to tell me, 'Let's go out.' They put me through a lot of pain and suffering, and I can't wait to go out there and put it on Melvin."
That's the win-win situation about Saturday night – both fighters love to get in there and slug it out.
"We're like two cars going down a one-way (street) – they're going to collide," he said.
But when they do, Stephens said, his engine will still be running.
"I think if I stay focused and stay where I'm at and keep continuing to get better, the sky's the limit for me," he said. "I don't have any limits on what I can do or how far I can take this. I'm really pushing myself these days. My whole focus is on Melvin Guillard, and of course, we'll talk after that with what's next."

Tribe farmhands follow Kluber's lead
Six Indians' affiliates post wins thanks largely to excellent pitching performances
As Corey Kluber was spinning a three-hit shutout Wednesday against the Mariners at Progressive Field, the Indians' top Minor League affiliates were getting superb pitching of their own. Tyler Cloyd threw a no-hitter at Triple-A Columbus and Double-A Akron shut out Bowie.
In fact, from Cleveland to short-season Mahoning Valley to the club's Dominican Summer League team, the Indians won. The Indians -- plus all six of their affiliates that were in action Wednesday -- won largely because of excellent pitching performances.
The highlight in the Minor Leagues was Cloyd's no-hitter in Columbus' 13-0 victory against Louisville. He entered the ninth having retired all 24 batters he had faced, but his bid for a perfect game ended when he hit Donnie Murphy to lead off the inning. He recovered quickly, inducing Tucker Barnhart to ground into a double play and getting Hernan Iribarren to line out to end the game.
Like Kluber, Cloyd worked efficiently. He faced the minimum and threw only 88 pitches. He struck out six batters. His no-hitter was the first in Columbus' Huntington Park and the seventh in franchise history.
Cloyd's big night came in front of his wife, Tonya, and his daughter, Gracie. After the game he told Clippers broadcaster Scott Leo how much it meant to him to have his family in the stands for his big night.
"I couldn't have done it anywhere else," Cloyd said. "It was awesome that they were here to experience it with me."
.@Tyler_Cloyd greets his daughter after throwing a no-hitter! #ClipShow pic.twitter.com/cY4B9wSHgo- Columbus Clippers (@CLBClippers) July 31, 2014
Cloyd got plenty of offensive support from the Clippers. First baseman Jesus Aguilar and third baseman Giovanny Urshela, the Indians' Nos. 11 and 14 prospects, respectively, both homered and combined for five runs and six RBIs. Shortstop Francisco Lindor, the Tribe's top prospect, went 0-for-4 with two runs and a walk.
Instead of historic individual performances like Kluber and Cloyd, Akron and Mahoning Valley took a group approach to their shutouts. In Akron's 4-0 victory against Bowie, starter Duke von Schamann combined with two relievers for a five-hit shutout. Led by starter Jordan Carter, four pitchers combined for the shutout as Mahoning Valley edged Tri-City, 1-0.
There were no shutouts for Class A Advanced Carolina and Class A Lake County, but both starters authored quality starts. In the Mudcats' 13-6 victory at Salem, Cole Sulser held Salem to three runs on five hits and two walks in 6 1/3 innings. Dace Kime struck out five batters and allowed one run in six innings as Lake County defeated West Michigan, 3-2.
In the Dominican Summer League, 19-year-old right-hander Jose Rodriguez allowed one run over five innings to lead the DSL Indians to a 7-4 victory over the DSL Astros.

While at this year's CES, we received a tip from an unnamed source that there were Kepler GPUs located in some Samsung laptops on the floor. So, we decided to go and check it out for ourselves and surprisingly enough, there were indeed some Mobile 600 series GPUs.
If you take a look at our images below, you will see that we saw two different laptops with one major variation, their GPUs. These were Samsung's Series 5, 550P5 and 550P7 laptops. The real major difference here was that this one was a Kepler GPU and the other was simply a rebadged Fermi mobile GPU. Both laptops also support NVIDIA's optimus switching technology.
If you look at the shader cores you can see that the N13P-GT is going to be a mid-range performance part as it features 2GB of dedicated GPU memory as well as 96 CUDA cores and a 405MHz core clock. What's interesting is that if you compare this to the GT 630 GPU in the 550P7 laptop, you can see that both of them have the same amount of CUDA cores (shaders). The GK-107 part, the N13P-GT is actually clocked lower than the GT 630 GPU in the 550P7 laptop. Either this indicates to us that NVIDIA's Kepler mobile GPUs really do have an improved performance per clock, or the N13P-GT isn't as high-end of a part as had been rumored. Both GPUs have the exact same 2GB of DDR3 memory and both have the same 1.8GHz effective memory clock.
The similarity between clocks is really what confuses us, though, since the N13P-GT is a 405MHz part and the 630 GT is a 475MHz part. Those clock differences are followed by similarities in shader clock, which also mimic the GPU clock differential. We're just not sure why NVIDIA would make two so similar parts unless one was a newer generation part and the other was simply a rebadge.
We're still not entirely sure whether or not N13P-GT is a Kepler part or not considering its relative similarity to the GT 630 which has been known to be a Fermi rebranded mobile GPU. We are hopeful that we've stumbled upon the first Kepler part in a mobile devices, but we remain somewhat cautious about it being one considering all of the similarities.

The Domaine's policy can be summarised in five points:
- Careful, rigorous care of the vines as this is the start
- Pick perfectly healthy grapes at the right moment.
- Understand each vintage to preserve the natural balance of the wine.
- Maintain the traditional character of the wine by intervening as little as possible during vinification
- Preserve the body, the fruitiness and the aromatic purity of the wine during vinification to extract the best from the noble Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grape varieties.
Didier DELAGRANGE aims to produce wines that are fleshy, round, rich in fruit and bursting with finesse and elegance.

For a certain application I need a commitment scheme where each user could make a commitment, and a single verification operation could verify all the commitments simultaneously, faster than single verifications. It's like a batch verification of signatures but we are able to build each commitment based on the previous one (that's not the usual case for batch verification of signatures)
Each user i, makes a commitment $C(i)$ to a value $x(i)$, as $C(i):=Commit(C(i-1),x(i),open(i))$, with $open(i)$ the randomness used for computing the commitment, or nothing if the scheme is deterministic. $C(0)$ is an initial value.
Then $CheckReveal(C(n),x(1) .. x(n),open(1) .. open(n))\ $ verifies the commitment equations very fast (e.g. $O(\log(n))$ modexps or $O(1)$ modexps).
Obviously the simple scheme $C(i)=C(i-1)^{x(i)} \mod p\ $ does not work, because two parties $i$ and $j$ (in collusion) can now change their commitments setting $x'(i) = x(i) · k$ and $x'(j) = x(j) · \frac{1}{k}$.

Vegetarians might not like hearing this, but plants have stem cells too. Like ours, these stem cells are undifferentiated and grow indefinitely in culture. And also like ours, they hold therapeutic promise, since many drugs and insecticides, not to mention perfumes and pigments, are derived from plants.
These products are currently produced using plant cells grown in suspension cultures that have undergone a process called dedifferentiation, which eliminates any specialized properties (like those of root or leaf cells). But these dedifferentiated cells don't grow that well. They tend to form clumps in large growing tanks, and the process can induce genetic changes in them. These problems inspired recent work described in Nature Biotechnology, in which scientists have isolated and cultured plant stem cells, called cambial meristematic cells (CMCs).
They started with a twig from a wild yew, Taxus cuspidata, the plant that makes Taxol (paclitaxel), which is used to fight breast, lung, and ovarian cancers. They then isolated actively proliferating cells from the cambium, a structure where secondary branches get their start.
The researchers confirmed that the CMCs are in fact stem cells using a number of methods. They were able to readily form a variety of adult structures, and expressed a distinct set of genes that were consistent with a stem cell fate.
To ensure that these cells could satisfactorily churn out a product (paclitaxel, in this case) at a large scale, the researchers tracked their growth in cultures ranging from a small flask to a 20 liter air-lift bioreactor—traditional plant cells can't even grow in the last container. In every case, CMCs grew better than traditional plant cell cultures and produced more paclitaxel per cell weight. Previously reported values for paclitaxel production range from 20-84mg for each kilogram of cells; CMCs made 264 mg/kg of cells.
The CMCs also grew well in a 3 ton bioreactor, although paclitaxel biosynthesis was not measured.
CMCs from other plant species can also mass produce other commercially important natural products. The scientists used their technique to isolate stem cells from ginseng, ginkgo, and tomato. Ginseng makes ginsenosides, which have a number of clinically relevant biological activities including neuroprotection, antioxidant properties, and angiogenesis modulation. Ginseng CMCs cultured in a 3 liter air-lift bioreactor generated over 20-fold more of both chemicals than standard cultured ginseng cells.
Thus using CMCs may avoid the problems associated with existing culture techniques and may give us an inexpensive and sustainable source of natural products—one that is not subject to the uncertainty inherent in plant cultivation.
