Stomach bloating and weight gain

Re: Stomach bloating and weight gain
First of all, you have to rule out life threatening things like cancer through traditional methods. That being said, the totally traditional guys are useless when it comes to things like bacterial overgrowth, e.g., Candida. Unless of course you can see someone like Dr. Oz of the Oprah Winfry show. Though recently, a trad doc shocked me with a probiotic recommendation. Any way, Oz knows the best of all venues, not just traditional. If you can find a genious like him, Yippie!
I have had stomach bloating and weight gain since I was a kid. I remember one day in particular when I was 12 years old my stomach looked like I was several months pregnant, naturally, this was while I was performing a part in a play in front of my class. Throughout the years I've found my stomach will blow up at any given opportunity. In short, it can occur from a food sensitivity or allergy, chemical sensitivities, or mold and other environmental allergies.
The fact is that this became a lifelong struggle for me after having multiple rounds of antibiotics due to ear and other kinds of infections as a child. All of the problems I've listed below are said to be a result of an out of balance gut. Even Dr. Oz on Oprah has addressed the issue of gut bacteria, going so far as to say the intestines are our second brain , thus effecting our entire body.
I've been diagnosed with IBS and GERD. What helped with those problems is avoiding food sensitivities and taking digestive enzymes.
Once again I'm having the gigantic belly bloat and weight gain, bowel problems and chronic fatigue etc. I know this is a result of Candida, bacteria and parasite infections. I tried NAET treatments (used to be allergic with big belly from eggs, but NAET dissapeared it for me), unfortunately I could only afford to go 4 times but require many more visits.
Also amazing are colonics. I've only been able to afford one, but if you had several over a few months and did good diet with no sugar, dairy etc, and good bacteria that would be amazing. I've found that doing an enima with 1/2 lemon and pure water or putting probiotics in room temp water totally deflates my stomach the next day. Also important, you must rotate natural bad bacterial killers with use of probiotics and a good anti candida diet. I just saw a Podiatrist discussing mold and fungal infections with diabetic patients. He said he found that by pulsing the treatments it works better for the patient. That's because our immune system gets used to it and so it stops being effective, so you have to trick it by using different things periodically. Change it up every 4 days or every other week.
I can't afford to do what I know I must do now. Unfortunately, for most people this is a recurring problem that never really goes away, it's only managed. I have seen a website claiming to have a permanant solution to this problem, but I sure can't afford it. If you can then go for it.
Best wishes.
Re: Stomach bloating and weight gain
Hello, sorry i haven't read all teh posts. I have the same problem... i look like I am pregnant in the 5 or 6th month. The funny part is that i used to be peer shaped and everyone envied me for having a this waist, but now everything is gone. Anyway, I also have early menstruation and severe bloating. Even when i go to the bathroom i remain bloating. I used to bloat before but not this much, i can't wear my clothes anymore. This all happened in a year long where i gained 5 kgs ( like 12 pounds). I went to the docotr and she gave me duphaston to regulate my period. it has progesterone, it is kind og an HRT. I asked her about the weight gain she told me to have my hormones ( estradiol and testeterone checked). I hope this will solve my problem, and especially the weight and bloating part. I am not sure if they r all correlated or i have a multi-disease or something
Re: Stomach bloating and weight gain
There is a huge crisis with the healthcare in America.IT stinks,and none of the doctors want you to feel better ,because they make more money that way. I too have been plagued with the stomach bloating.About 1 year and 2 months ago I had food poisoning and have never been quit right since. Bloating after everything, even drinking liquids. Constipation ,diharrea, back pain, fatigue, gas,weight gain,etc
For the fatigue I took a supplement called "thytrophin " from standard process. My TSH was like 23. In six months I got it down to 2.3. No synthetics,or pills you have to take forever. To go along with Hypothyroid ,you also have to address your adrenal glands. ( the adrenals also regulate the digestive system)
These are the things I have found to help with my digestion and bloating. Eat alot of small meals throughout the day, instead of a few big ones.Keep a diary,anything that upsets your stomach,don't eat it. If everything hurts try doing a juice cleanse to let your digestive system repair and take a break.Take a digestive enzyme to help digest your food. Standard process makes a good one called multizyme, they also make another called Zypan which contains Hydrochloric acid, something your body produces less and less of with age, and is also responsible for digesting protien mostly. Slippery Elm Tea decreases inflammation in the stomach and colon. I mix it with chamomile and other digestive herbs. Buy it from a bulk herb place,it is better and cheaper than any RX.
Aloe Vera Juice helps with the inflammation also. Juicing raw pineapple juice, taking probiotics.Getting massages relaxes me and getting abdominal massage helps the bloating and drains the Lymphatic system. The biggest Lymph Nodes are in the abdominal area.
I believe when doctors tell you that you have IBS,it is because they don't know what you have. Yeah ,my bowel irritated.But why? and how do I fix it instead of just masking the symptoms?
Good luck to all. Trying to heal naturaly in Alaska, Heather

Re: Stomach bloating and weight gain
since I was 12 I have had this problem tried everthing so now I just eat little about 3 times a day. I cannot eat anything white no bread, pasta, rice patatoes, they all bloat you up! loads of seeds and grains linseed is exellent for the bowels sprinkled on natural yoghurt and water is the KEY drink tonnes of water loads of water as much as you can a day really helps I think the stomache swells when it is dehydrated I also take motilium tablets about 4 a day and it brings the swelling in my belly down walking and sit ups also help any type of exercise to get the bowels regular!
I have been in the same situation as most of you......bloating, constipation, weight gain, fatigue, etc., and found that every doctor I saw (and I saw many) said the same thing......IBS, Gerd, severe constipation, etc. I even had one doctor claim, that after I told him I can not lose weight with a very restricted diet and exercise, to just "put down the donut". Very frustrating! My sister has Hashimotos disease (low thyroid) which started with endometriosis years before. She now has breast cancer. Since many of these things will run in the family, I decided long ago that it must have something to do with hormones....female hormones to be exact. My symptoms of pain and stomach problems would always worsen around my period....even though I had a partial hysterectomy around 8 years ago (around the same time my symptoms appeared). I still have my ovaries, so I know when that time of the month should be because I get severe migranes and have the symptoms of pms like most (acne, moodiness, bloating...) I've tried all of the medications out there with no success. I had a colonoscopy....nothing noticed. I've had my TSH checked, and it was normal. But last year I had a CAT scan and it showed "many bumps" on my ovaries. They diagnosed me with PCOS. I then researched PCOS like crazy, and found that it too can be caused by a hormone problem. With more research, I found a website called Wilsons Temperature Syndrome, which is a big problem for many women, but none of us have ever heard of. It says that many people (not just women) have a low temperature, which causes our hormones to go out of wack. The great thing is, its a reversible problem, if you find the right doctor and get the treatment. People with low temperatures have a slow, or no process of having their T4 turn into T3....which is something that a normal person has no trouble with. So a dosage of T3 can get your temperature to the right degree, and reverse your hormonal problems. I would highly suggest that all of you research this website and see if you can find a doctor in your area to talk about it to. And though it may not help everyone, it helped me completely! The medication can only be given by perscription. There's a list of doctors on the website. If you've tried everything like I did, it would be worth a shot to look into this.
deiodase deficiency? That is pretty rare, like all enzyme deficiencies.

Re: Stomach bloating and weight gain
Hello Everyone!
I am 36 years old and I started having the exact same problem since l was 18yrs. old. From about age 18 until age 26 l stayed painfully bloated 24/7 365 days a year. Some days were worse that others. l was sent to a gastro then back to a gp. Then finally they suggested that i see an endo. In 1998 the endo that i saw was Dr. Douglas Jones(died Dec. 06) in Mount Pleasan, SC. Dr. Jones completely changed my life. He was the first Dr. that actually listend to me. Until then when I would tell the doctors that l was bloated, they would just blow me off and prescribe diuretics.thos did not help at all. Dr. Jones knew of off brand uses for many drugs. After testing my thyroid, Dr. Jones found that I was borderline hypothyroid put me on Synthroid and Rx diet drug (for the bloating) also Dr. Jones informed me of eating low glycemic index foods. My blood pressure is sooo low he felt that l would not have any problems. Now 10 years later I am 100% better. Many doctors do not aggree with what Dr. Jones did for me and refused to give me the same treatment. I however found a doctor that was mentored by Dr. Jones and he has kept me on the road to success. One other thing that I have found to help me is a protein shake that I make every morning. I will have a shake instead of a meal if I start to feel bloated and it gets me back in the game in under 1 week. (see recipe below)
Peanut butter shake
8oz of Silk Light Vanilla Soy Milk
1 tbsp. of Bryers Light double churned Vanilla Ice cream
1 tbsp. Jiff Extra Crunchy PB
1 tbsp. of Designer Whey Protein French Vanilla
6 rounds of Hershey's Chocolate Syrup (hold container of syrup over the blender and lightly squeeze bottle for 6 seconds.
add 7 ice cubes
Blend and Enjoy!
I hope this helps someone! It has helped me!
Re: Stomach bloating and weight gain
Hi, I have found a website that suggests the problem could be dismotility. It recommends asking your pharmacist for a 'motility product'. I am going out to try this tmo. The website is: http://www.digestivecare.co.uk/Heavy-bl ... _324_.html
A few things I forgot to mention about the Wilsons Temperature Syndrome....and some easy ways to check if you have this. It can be brought on by....a major stress, child birth, medication (as in birth control pills) etc. I do believe that candida is also a cause of these things, which I also had (and very hard to get rid of).
Take your temperature, 3 hours after waking, then 3 hours after that, for a total of 3 times a day. Your normal temp should be 98.6. Mine at starting was 96.2. This will give you an idea if this is something you should look into. A low temperature can slow everything down.....your metabolism, digestive system, energy, and so on. It can also give you a food intolerance, which is something many of you have listed.
Hope this helps!
Ok, one more thing.......all of our symptoms happen because of each other.....I had the emotional stress, which caused the low temperature, which caused the constipation, which caused me to seek a strong laxative and colonics, which then caused candida. I made the mistake of thinking that since they all started because of one thing, they could be treated with one thing. Not so! I had to treat the low temperature, and treat the constipation and candida as seperate issues. Colonics and colon cleanses are great to do, as long as you make sure you supplement them with probiotics!
Re: Stomach bloating and weight gain
i am so glad i found this site. i was beginning to think i am sick or something. i bloat and look pregnant. i am almost 54 yrs old and through menopause. i feel sick, i can't lose weight even though i work out and lead an active life. jeans don't fit right and i look terrible in clothing. i started taking vitamins a few weeks ago and now have more energy, but the bloating is bad. so tired of it. i want to feel good again.
Re: Stomach bloating and weight gain
Hi, I'm 48 and have dealt with stomach bloat/distension and looking pregnant.
Since I've let my gray hair grow in, noone has said 'congratulations' or asked me
when I'm due. What a relief.
Anyway, I stopped drinking Coca Cola and started drinking Concord grape juice.
(I especially like the 100% grape juice with fiber.)
My bloated stomach has gone down and it's no longer hard and distended.
I'm glad to be able to poke my stomach and feel flab. Gross, to some, I know.
But, to me, it's a welcome sign that my digestive system is working again.'
My IBS is gone and everything is normal--except for the times I eat pizza
with pepperoni or any fatty meats. I have GERD also and one potato chip or
mayo, salad dressing or margarine can cause my reflux.
Doctors say that grape juice has too much sugar. All I know is my digestive
system is working much better now that I'm drinking grape juice and I can
actually squeeze my stomach in.

What's going on here? Part of new Janesville bus garage to be 'explosion-proof'
What is it: It's the city of Janesville's future bus garage, formally known as the Janesville Transit Services Center. The new center at 101 Black Bridge Road will replace the old center at 900 N. Parker Drive, which will be sold.
The new building will encompass 44,000 square feet, about twice the size of the current bus garage, said Dave Mumma, director of the Janesville Transit System.
Contractor: Corporate Contractors Inc. of Beloit, which is part of a family of companies that includes Hendricks Holding Co., according to its website.
Cost: CCI was awarded the bid of $6.46 million and change. The overall project cost, which includes the land and architectural and engineering fees, is $7.95 million.
Who pays: The federal government is paying more than 80 percent of the cost. Property owners in the city will pay off bonds issued to finance the rest.
"It's federal money we're bringing back to Janesville that's providing jobs, initially, and it's providing a facility that's going to be serving Janesville for the next 50 years or more," Mumma said.
Ready for gas: The building is being constructed to accommodate a compressed natural gas fueling station.
Regulations require the room with the fueling station to be built to withstand an accidental explosion. Note the steel beams in the foreground of the photo, at the building's southwest corner.
"It must be an explosion-proof room, so it's built like a fort," Mumma said.
The fueling/service bay and maintenance garage also have special ventilation requirements.
The city is likely to consider natural gas-fueled buses when the city does "a major fleet replacement," but that won't be for another five years, at least, Mumma said.
The buses, some of them 11 years old, are approaching the point where they will need to be replaced, Mumma said.
The timing of a fleet replacement depends on federal funding, which now is in a state of flux. The reauthorization of federal public transit legislation is scheduled for next year, Mumma said.
Why it's better: "It provides a fully equipped, up-to-date operations and maintenance facility for the transit system," Mumma said. "It means we are set up to have a good and modern base for our operations for decades to come. It's not something the community is going to have to go back and rebuild 10 years from now."
The old bus garage is just barely big enough to get all the buses under one roof, Mumma said. The city's 17 buses are parked overnight in fuel bays, wash bays, maintenance bays and the center aisle.
The new building has been designed to accommodate an expansion of up to 30 buses, Mumma said.
Completion date: The most optimistic estimate is May, but weather or other problems could delay it to sometime in July, Mumma said.
Finished product: The building's exterior will be mostly a reddish-brown brick, with green trim similar to that at the bus transit center on River Street, Mumma said.
Mumma said the building will have a "modern" appearance.
The building could have looked more industrial, but: "We wanted something that looks good sitting on that corner because it makes a statement about the community," Mumma said.

As interest rates rise and bond prices fall, companies are evaluating the effects on all aspects of their business—from their lines of credit to their pension plans. And although the drop in bond prices has lowered the value of assets in pension plans, the latest "Russell LDI update" points out that rising interest rates have had the opposite effect on plan liabilities. According to Bob Collie, chief research strategist for Americas international with Russell Investments, the reduction in liabilities has improved pension plans' funded ratios, but some companies may have been too focused on the fall in asset values to notice the improvement.
"When corporations talk about the objectives of their pension plans, the objectives are based on asset versus liability, so net position," says Collie. "But we find when it comes to month-to-month tracking or quarter-to-quarter reporting, those objectives may get set aside. Companies look at the fall in asset values and think that's bad, but they may not the evaluate how their funding status moved."
Russell Investments demonstrates the effects of recent market swings on plans' funding using a pair of hypothetical pension plans. One is envisioned as an open plan in which 60 percent of assets are in the Russell Global Index and 40 percent are in the Barclays-Russell LDI 12-Year Index. The other is envisioned as a closed plan in which 40 percent of assets are in the Russell Global Index and 60 percent are in the Barclays-Russell LDI 8-Year Index. "By using a global index, we may have slightly more international exposure than the typical plan," Collie says. "Any individual plan may differ, but we chose for our representative plans an asset mix that is simple to explain and broadly representative of where plans typically are." Russell Investments projected liabilities in the open plan to have a 12-year duration, which is to say that the average (hypothetical) benefit payment is projected to be made in about 12 years, and projected an 8-year duration for the closed plan.
The company assumed that both plans had a funded ratio of 73 percent as of December 31, 2011, which was the median funded status on that date, according to an analysis of the 10-K filings of U.S.-listed corporations. Then Russell Investments ran both plans through its Standard Cash Flow Generator formula to calculate funding status. Figure 1 shows the results of this exercise: Plans' funded ratio at the end of June was the highest it's been in 18 months, and just in the first half of 2013, funded ratios rose 7.1 percentage points for the hypothetical open plan and 3.5 percentage points for the closed plan.
"That's a timely reminder that the management of a pension plan is now at least as much about managing the exposures on the liability side as it is about managing the exposures on the asset side," Collie says.

A tough winter for newspaper carriers
I don't envy those who spend most of their workdays outdoors in a winter like this. Include those fixing water main breaks and mail carriers among them.
Newspaper carriers have their challenges, as well. In the city, they often have to trudge with heavy loads along icy and snow-covered sidewalks. In the country, they battle slippery roads and blowing snow.
The Gazette's twice-weekly Sound Off feature has gotten frequent calls criticizing our newspaper carriers. Sure, sometimes equipment problems at The Gazette's printing plant delay deliveries. But bad weather also has led to delays. Heck, my own carrier rides a bicycle whenever he can, throughout winter. I see his predawn tracks leading up to our front stoop when snow has fallen overnight.
Keep in mind that these newspaper carriers aren't Gazette employees. Instead, they're independent contractors. You can liken the arrangement to when you hire a plumber to come and fix your frozen pipes.
Newspaper carrier Dave Salas has grown tired of the criticisms and responded in a letter The Gazette printed a week ago.
"I would like to invite a customer who has a complaint with their Gazette service to ride with me on my route," he wrote, in part. "I take my job seriously and am willing to try and get someone to understand what I do seven days a week, then write a letter to the editor and tell everyone else what they learned."
Salas said the person need not be his own customer. Because no one had taken him up on his offer as of Thursday, I asked him to instead answer my questions and share insight for my blog.
Q: How many papers do you deliver each day? How many does that make in an average year?
A: Currently I deliver 330 papers Monday through Saturday and 370 papers on Sunday. About 122,000 papers annually (does not include 350 Marketplaces I deliver weekly). That is down since the (GM) plant closed, when I delivered from 410 to 500 papers a day.
Q: How many years have you been a carrier for The Gazette?
A: 25 years.
Q: What time to you start on a weekday and on a weekend, and when do you finish?
A: Monday through Saturday mornings I receive my papers anywhere from 2 a.m. to 3 a.m., and it takes around three hours to complete the night. Whereas Sunday mornings I get my papers from 1:15 a.m. to 3 a.m., depending on the size of the paper. I get done three and a half to four hours later, if the roads are good.
Q: How much are you paid?
A: I am paid by the paper (piece rate), and each route is different. Let's just say that I make about 120 percent of federal poverty level before taxes.
Q: What else do you do for work?
A: I don't have another job. Years ago I tried to work a full-time job along with this but was unable to juggle the hours and keep the other job happy.
Q: What are some of the key problems you've run into this winter due to inclement weather?
A: Not just this winter, every winter. I do two routes at this time—one is a motor route on the east side of town—and have some really great folks as customers. However, I don't think many realize how extremely difficult it is make my deliveries when snow and ice have not been cleared from the curb and gutter (all the way to the pavement) in the area I have to pull up to.
Getting stuck delays delivery, is very hard on my car and wastes fuel. When snow packs down at the curb, the car tips up on the right side, sometimes as much as 25 degrees. This puts most of the weight of the car and papers on the left side suspension, damaging it. It also makes the delivery tube very, very hard to reach, if not impossible.
Also, cleaning snow from inside the delivery tubes that the plows (and snowblowers) have deposited there. I can't reach far enough to do it myself. In the event that I have to exit my car to make a delivery, it would be nice if salt is used in the area I have to walk. Safety is a very major issue.
Q: What happens/who does your route when you get sick or want to take an out-of-town trip?
A: I am an independent contractor. In the event I am so ill I can't work, or injured to that point or want to have a few days off, I am required to supply a sub to do my route. I have been injured a few times where I could not work and sick once. I've never taken a vacation. (I must say that the company has been understanding on this issue).
Q: What is your favorite part of this role?
A: The fact that I go, do my job, and go home.
Q: What is your least favorite part?
A: The injuries. I have had some very serious ones. Also, the constant concern that my car will break down.
Q: What unusual or quirky situations, if any, have you run into?
A: Well, I have, on three separate occasions, had to call the authorities after finding deceased customers.

TOWN OF MILTON—A house sustained $60,000 damage, and a family dog died despite firefighters' efforts to resuscitate it during a fire Friday night.
An electrical malfunction in the first-floor bathroom is believed to be the cause of the fire at the house at 11552 N. Lakeview Drive, according to a news release from the Milton and Milton Township Fire Department.
The call came in around 8:43 p.m. Friday. Firefighters arrived to find heavy smoke and some flames coming from the house.
The Edgerton Fire Department and sheriff's deputies assisted on the call.
The family was uninjured and stayed with friends. The American Red Cross was called in case the family needed assistance, the news release indicated.

Sovet Italia
Leaders in Shaped Glass Contemporary Furniture, Sovet Italia was founded at the end of the 1980's when glass gained incredible traction as a viable material in the furniture market. At the time, innovative glass processing techniques began to pave the way for unique artistic expression in the material. Groundbreaking and functional furniture designs were made possible with a partnership of traditional glass shaping techniques and advanced technologies, allowing for durable glass furniture that was no longer constrained to limited use within traditional design.
A decade later, Sovet Italia confirmed itself as a leader in shaped contemporary glass furniture, having developed a full range of products that stood out for their originality of form, color and finishes. During the years to follow, the company tested new solutions for the use of bent glass and refined its own project culture. And in 2003, Sovet partnered with Altherr Lievore Molina's studio to develop its Divetro Collection: a true turning point for the company. The collection represents an ambitious research project with strong contents of formal and technologic innovation, marked by the chic minimalism of Altherr Lievore Molina's studio.
Today, Sovet Italia continues to expand its offering beyond its origins in glass in order to satisfy the requirements of a broader, more demanding market. The company continues to advance its innovative techniques and designs with renowned designers around the world, constantly pushing the boundaries of glass form in the furniture industry.

Time is right for decision on gay marriage
Our US Supreme Court has articulated five doctrines of "justiciability" to assess whether a case is ready for court review.� These doctrines are:� Advisory opinions, Standing, Ripeness, Mootness and Political questions.� Important to report right now that the US Supreme Court has ruled that the US Constitution prohibits federal courts from issuing "advisory opinions."� The doctrine which I choose to focus on for this WE THE PEOPLE blog post is "ripeness."� The bottom-line of this doctrine is that a case is "RIPE" for the courts to decide.� For more details, I suggest Wikipedia's article, "Ripeness."
I am convinced that many courts in the US have decided that cases dealing with gay marriage bans are RIPE.� There are numerous decisions already handed down which assert that gay marriage bans are UNConstitutional.� Numerous cases are pending decision.� The diversity of decisions among the US Courts of Appeals – there are 12 geographic circuits and the Federal Circuit headquartered in Washington, DC.� You can see the circuits on this map, "Geographic Boundaries US Courts of Appeals and US District Courts."
Each of the Appeals Courts has judicial authority ONLY IN ITS CIRCUIT.� This means that there may be areas of the country where one interpretation of the law holds and other areas where another interpretation of the law holds.� When there are different decisions among the Appeals Courts, it is time for the Supreme Court to make a decision for the whole nation.�
The diversity of decisions and cases in various Appeals Courts is creating more and more pressure for the Supreme Court to hear a gay marriage case and make a decision for the whole country.� Observers of the Court expect that case to be chosen carefully by the justices for the 2014-15 term which starts on Monday, October 6, 2014 – FIRST MONDAY IN OCTOBER.� The court will hear oral arguments during the term sometime and most likely not announce its decision until the end of the usually scheduled late in June the next year.� We are NOT likely to have a Supreme Court Decision until the end of June 2015.
In the meantime, there are numerous pending cases which are likely to be decided by Courts of Appeals.� These include the appeal by the State of Utah after a Federal District Judge in Utah (native of Fort Atkinson, WI) ruled the Utah Constitutional Amendment banning gay marriage UNConstitutional.�
Nevada has the reverse situation since the federal judge ruled in favor of the state.� The same-sex couples appealed to the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals.� Yesterday, the Nevada Attorney General Catherine Corte Masto took action to withdraw Nevada state arguments for the state's prohibition of gay marriage.� The basic report published by The Washington Post is headlined, "Nevada AG ends fight to uphold gay marriage ban." Republican Governor Brian Sandoval of Nevada announced his agreement with the AG's move stating that the state's arguments supporting the ban are no longer defensible in court.
The decision announced on Thursday, January 23, 2014 by the newly elected Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring that he would not defend the state's ban on gay marriage sent shock waves through Virginia and other states with gay marriage bans.� Attorney General Herring asserted, "I cannot and will not defend laws that violate Virginians' rights. The commonwealth will be siding with the plaintiffs in this case and with every other Virginia couple whose right to marry is being denied."� If you want to read more, I suggest PBS Newshour's "Virginia's Attorney General will not defend state's gay marriage ban" published on Thursday, January 23, 2014.����
WISCONSIN is now among the states with a suit asking a FEDERAL COURT to declare the Constitutional Amendment passed by WI voters in 2006 on referendum.� This amendment is parallel to those in Utah, Nevada and Virginia.� I read with interest the news articles about the filing of the case on February 3, 2014 as reported by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, "ACLU lawsuit challenges Wisconsin same sex-marriage ban."� I encourage you to read this feature article to gain information with perspective on the issue and situation in Wisconsin.
For an overview of the national situation as of February 10, 2014, make time to read Matt Pearce's article, "Same-sex marriage roundup:� Nevada, Utah, Oklahoma, Ohio, Indiana."� WISCONSIN did NOT make his summary list and is one of numerous developments since the article was published on February 10, 2014.
Day-by-day there are significant developments as the ramifications of the REQUIREMENT of "equal protection under the law" set forth in the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution come into focus.� Yesterday, Monday, February 10, 2014, U.S. Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. issued a new directive to the Department of Justice expanding government recognition of same-sex marriages to all federal courtrooms and prisons, and some federal benefits.� The new policy was announced by Holder last Saturday night (2/8) at a gay rights dinner in New York City.
Details are included in Timothy M. Phelps article, "Federal government to expand recognition of same-sex marriage" published February 8, 2014 in the Los Angeles Times.� Complementing this article is the feature section posted by the Los Angeles Times, "Gay marriage in the Supreme Court" Important background information on the issue.
I agree with AG Holder who has compared the current fight for gay rights to the civil rights struggles of 50 years ago and vowed that his department will play an active role asserting, "The Justice Department's role in confronting discrimination must be as aggressive today as it was in Robert Kennedy's time.� As Attorney General, I will not let this department be simply a bystander during this important moment in history."
The time is RIPE for the US to expand move to better fulfill its vision/principle of EQUALITY!� I hope we will have a US Supreme Court decision by the end of June 2015 providing for marriage equality for persons regardless of their sexual orientation. What do YOU hope?

Girl recounts horror of stabbing: Report
ELKHORN The girl told police she woke to yelling and the sensation of her throat being cut.
The girl, identified in the criminal complaint against Larry Shannon as "victim No. 1," told police Shannon had choked her until she was unconscious. When she woke, she heard another girl, identified as "victim No. 2," yelling at Shannon.
And then Shannon used a knife to cut the throat of victim No. 1, according to the complaint.
Victim No. 1 remained conscious and saw Shannon stab victim No. 2 in the throat and arm. Victim No. 1 fled to the bathroom, but Shannon followed her and knocked her to the ground. She hit her head against a toilet and lost consciousness, according to the complaint.
She woke to being dragged upstairs, where Shannon bound her hands, feet and mouth with duct tape. The girl said she saw victim No. 2 in the room already bound with duct tape, according to the complaint.
Whitewater police responded to the home at 3:57 p.m. Oct. 29 for a report of a domestic disturbance with children suffering life-threatening injuries.
Whitewater police Detective Sergeant Tina Winger reported she heard screaming and crying when she approached the home and saw victim No. 2 covered in blood from a deep cut on the side of her neck, according to the complaint.
The girl told Winger that Shannon was trying to kill her and had fled the house in a car with two juveniles, including victim No. 1. The girl said Shannon had threatened to kill both juveniles in the car and himself, according to the criminal complaint.
Winger also spoke with an adult female at the residence, identified as victim No. 3. When she had arrived at the home, the woman said, Shannon had choked her until she lost consciousness. Shannon dragged her into the living room, tied her to a chair and told her he would kill her using pills and alcohol and that "they would both be going to hell," according to the complaint.
A Rock County deputy spotted Shannon's car at 4:20 p.m. on County S northeast of Beloit. Police from several departments joined the chase.
Shannon stopped in the 1200 block of Philhower Road, where a 12-year-old child got out of the car. Shannon took off at 80 mph. The child had a deep cut in her neck, according to a criminal complaint filed in Rock County Court.
Eventually, a Wisconsin state trooper rammed Shannon's car and caused it to spin into a tree on Beloit's east side.
The 6-year-old passenger was transported to Beloit Memorial Hospital with minor injuries. The child told police Shannon had attacked the child's mother and siblings.
The injuries to victim No. 1 included a 9-inch cut on her throat that required 15 stitches to repair. Injuries to victim No. 2 included a 5-inch cut, according to the criminal complaint.
Walworth County prosecutors on Monday charged Shannon, 40, of 310 S. Janesville St., Whitewater, with two counts of attempted first-degree intentional homicide and three counts of false imprisonment.
The relationship between Shannon and the victims and the motive for the stabbings is not clear.
Shannon appeared in Walworth County Court by video Monday from the Rock County Jail, where he was being held on Rock County charges stemming from the high-speed chase.
Walworth County District Attorney Dan Necci called Shannon's criminal record "extensive," saying it includes striking an officer and battery.
Walworth County Judge John Race ordered Shannon held on a $1 million cash bond.
Race requested Shannon be transferred to the Walworth County Jail on Tuesday.
If convicted on the Walworth County charges, Shannon faces up to 138 years in prison.

The U.S. isn't the only country with a wide extraterritorial reach of antitrust laws. 12 Japanese manufacturers of automotive parts are facing fines following a Chinese investigation.
The Chinese National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) recently concluded an investigation into 12 Japanese automotive part makers, finding multiple violations of price fixing in charges to Chinese factories. In total, the Commission has fined the 12 companies roughly $200 million for the violations.
"The National Development and Reform Commission will pursue clues of other illegality that were found during this investigation, as it continues to carry out investigations to ensure fair enforcement, maintain fair competition in the market, protect the legitimate rights and interests of operators and consumers and create a favorable environment for economic and social development," a release from the Commission said.
One company, NSK, will pay 174.9 million renminbi (USD 28.4 million) for undisclosed violations of antitrust law. According to the New York Times, the company says its subsidiaries "have taken and will continue to take comprehensive measures with the help of outside experts and others to ensure strict compliance with all applicable laws and regulations."
Recent developments in the extraterritorial reach of the U.S. antitrust laws
Court rules NCAA violates antitrust law in ban on paying players for likenesses
Why the recent upswing in U.S. cartel enforcement?
The NTN Corporation, meanwhile, will pay 119.2 million renminbi (USD 19.4 million) for violations. The company pledged to follow fair and honest principles of competition moving forward.
Among the 12 corporations fined were seven auto parts manufacturers: Aisan Industry Company, the Denso Corporation, the Furukawa Electric Company, the Mitsuba Corporation, the Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, Sumitomo Electric Industries and the Yazaki Corporation. In addition to NSK and the NTN Corporation, auto bearings manufacturer Jtekt Corporation was also fined.
It's not just Japanese automotive companies that have been feeling Chinese pressure, however. On August 4, Commission investigators searched the Shanghai offices of German automaker Daimler for information. And General Motors has also announced that it is complying with Commission requests for information.
This isn't the first time that some of these Japanese companies have faced heavy antitrust fines. Heavily contributing to a then-record $5 billion in False Claims Act penalties in the 2012 fiscal year was a $470 million paid by Yazaki Corp., which admitted to price-fixing in the auto parts market.

Moderator: BioTeam
Hey Nadas,
Like the Kentucky idea. You know what the CDC was here testing the algae infested waters already, there is a little small space next to our little PO here.
Might check into it.
See what you mean Tam Tam. Sorry about the bushes, too many bugs in there anyway.
Hey, Michigan, lots of water, lots of samples, lots of info, is the top Bio Life Corridor in the the States.
have access to college and a cool judge. Now, will a local one do?
What is Humana, Nadas?
Want me to check into it and give the judge a call?
Also some action going on in Fla, don't have specifics yet, but, when do will go with it and get documents.
hey Sky sorry for smearing that last post......
after you mentioned cdc had me thinking....
the Louisville Water resevoure is a giant rectangle with a masonic structure dividing it into two squares ...
natural elevation made for some fair air...open to the public , many walk around the perimeter for exercise...
i woulld take my daughters there often... untill about six months ago ...
on the stairs leading to the perimeter, atop is the gothic structure ,once you could go right or left.... the left was sealed off with yellow caution tape....
i found it odd.. and upon taking the right we walked all the way around to find a thick orange/green foam colllecting on the edges where once the crystal clear water sat still ... it churned, not in a vorex but as if fluid was bein forced in , i steped over the yellow tape and peeked under a blue tarp crossing the walk way .........to my suprise here were three large colored pipes leading into the water....the pipes ran down the hill to the street to a mid size chemical truck.. not like the ones that carry petrol but the kind that carry reagents!
this freeked me out... and thats when i began posting ....
shortly after that the whole resivour is shut off .. they have the street blocked off.
no word from any offical.. ive called them all they said its standard?
thats why in a few of my first posts i was asking about rain water...
the test i created is still confusing...
take a hot dry pan on stove constant heat ..
drip a drop aof rain water on it and watch.......
it should fizzel and steam out quickly acording to most therodynamics..
the crap raining down in my area will spin into an orb and keeps gaing
velocity until a certain hexagon pattern is reached then it becomes brown
and gradually gets smaller untill it exits as a fine black speck...
a sort of gravitic effect goes on in the spin ... like if you add more drops
they try to avoid each at all costs but once velocity is gained they unite....
weird sh%t ....
that what leds my research off the planet..
Thanks for the posting TamTam. I will see about uniting....l.but the deal is we do noyt know who is really sick and who is just screaming lies so we,
the Defective, can live in pain and misery.
Also, I do hope I did not offend anyone w/ my post earlier this am....Was extrememly upset and massive headache. Also, Sky, Nad, and new posters, I did not read your post above mine this morning but it looks like you guys are on to something.....good job! I'm going to go read the last 3 pages now.
Also, TamTam, a couple of pages back you listed weight and something to to w/ the feed in the chickens......is you see this, can you telll me if the doxy is causing the weight gain? I have gained about 22 lbs from nowhere.....I eat like a damn bird. Thank you.
skytroll, omg, yes, gotta a million documents on that lake in Michigan.,...bad, bad, bad, and did you see Sytemics hyperlink on snail parasites.....it talked of it being eel larvae.....I remember posting about eels (or something like that on LB back in May)
skytroll, you said:
What does everyone with Morgellons have in common? Compromised immune systems? Or is it something to do with our genes?
What do you think? I think both really but want your opinion. The DNA no doubt.
oh God, I hope I am wrong.....this is trippy....
[An autopsy case of anoxic encephalopathy caused by transient upper airway obstruction]
[Article in Japanese]
Yoshida Y, Honma Y.
Department of Neuropathology, Hirosaki University, School of Medicine, Japan.
We reported the pathological findings of an autopsy case of anoxic encephalopathy, with special reference to the topography of degenerative changes in the nervous system. A 47 year-old man, who had an episode of sudden upper air-way obstruction although his radial artery pulsation was maintained, and then suffered from akinetic mutism and myoclonus for 2 years and 5 months, died of bronchopneumonia. Postmortem examination revealed that, in addition to wide distribution of mild neuronal loss and astrocytosis in the cerebral and cerebellar gray matter, focal pseudolaminer necrosis of the IIIrd and IVth cortical layers was predominantly noticed in the calcarine cortex, pre- and postcentral gyri and transverse temporal cortex. However, the cortical architecture of the Ammon's horn, arterial boundary zones and depths and sides of sulci was not involved. This topography of neuronal degeneration was considered to correspond with those of methyl-mercury intoxication. However, his history and neurological examination before the episode denied the intoxication. Conclusively, the characteristic distribution of the brain damage in this case are resulted from the episode of pure anoxic anoxia, suggesting that the anoxic encephalopathy would make up a different involvement pattern of the brain from those of ischemic encephalopathy.
i think it is indeed something in the jet fuels.....that tamtam spoke of....they (the pipes to fuel the jets) runs underground.....hence...infecting our ground water.
Skytroll, hey, I had no idea of your disagreement w/ tamtam back 2 pages in the middle. So, this is what i want to know.....you meantioned something about the parasite and weight gain......
here's what I'm thinking....kind of like Systemic...that it is the doxy causing the wietght gain in me. Is it? please advise someone.
PS: Beware.....as I type on this website and also when I would type on the morgellons blog site....the computer screen would begin to flash bright colors at me....hurting the eye evem/.///especially on the cursor.
okay, no advice? Want me to keep on then? could it be from the colors of the fibers? Was I right when I said last week those PDMF fibers.? I dunno, looks like maybe I was? are they the same thing as the Piezo-whatever fibers?
it's the oligodexeoxynudeotides is it not? Now read this, pay close attention to the last 2-3 sentences....is it saying that they (the gold particles of spreading cancer? (I really don't know, need help here)
Condensation of Therapeutic Oligodeoxynucleotides and Plasmid DNA with PPI Dendrimers and PPI-Modified Gold Nanoparticles
Authors: A.M. Chen, S.K. Nair, T.T. Thomas, T.J. Thomas and H. He
Affilation: Rutgers Unverisity, Newark, US
Pages: 29 - 32
Keywords: gene delivery, gold nanoparticles, ODN condensation, DNA condensation, cancer therapy, dendrimer, nanoparticle
Abstract: We demonstrated the formation of oligonucleotide nanoparticle in the presence of polypropylenimine dendrimers using total intensity light scattering as well as AFM and TEM. Confocal microscopic analysis showed that the nanoparticles formed with G4 and G5 dendrimers could undergo facile cellular uptake in a breast cancer cell line, MDA-MB-231, whereas particles formed with G1–G3 dendrimers lacked this property. Zeta potential analysis showed the positive charge of nanoparticles formed with G1-G3 dendrimers were significantly lower (5.5 – 6.5 mV) than those (12-18 mV) of particles formed with G4 and G5 dendrimers. These results indicate that the structure and charge density of the dendrimers exert an important effect on ON nanoparticle formation and cellular transport. Furthermore, we studied the condensation mechanism of the ON by PPI dendrimers and found that the PPI dendrimers first "zipped" the ON molecules by electrostatic interactions to form extended chains and the extended chains were then converted to the condensed spheroid and toroid-like nanoparticles. Finally, we report a novel condensing approach to reach a goal of high efficiency and low/nontoxic transport of high concentration ONs to cancer cells by using gold nanoparticles. This approach is very different from previous reported condensation of DNA by using Au nanoparticles in that in our approach, the gold nanoparticles acted as liable condensation "catalysts" to help the low generation dendrimers to effectively condense DNA while maintaining their non-toxic property.
That is exactly what I have been thinking Sky.
What do we have in common?

Systemic!!! Hi, I just clicked onto write you and wow, you just posted. i hope you see this. Listen, I just now saw your post back re: Slidell, La.
So, the BR eh? Commodites and exchange......and , everyone remember one of my favorite people on Lymebusters was named Orion!!
Loved him, the lil smart-A! Well, check this out.....could this be what he is involved in? He told me once that he used to work for SBelll (Yuck!)
I'm dropping my contract with them as of sept 21st......
and Systemic (I hope I spelled that right) I think I get what you were saying when you mentioned antibiotic resistant......the doxy does not work does it?
You know what else I think? Up above somewhere on the endings of one of my post, I said to Tamam, about the diff. species they used.....
so, now I'm thinking that they cloned all 10 or 12 things (insects)
guessing here......the flea, the mites, the spider, the tick.....the Collembola
with : STREP, S.Cervechie, Epstein Barr Virus
and mixed them with the transgenic plants......the melons, the tg tobacco,
oilseed rape, the beets......the citrus too/////
and......not to leave off the real big ones....cyanobacteria and I think moss. just guessing

Antibiotic resistance
The EPA warned that to release an antibiotic resistant strain of bacteria in the environment could have devastating consequences.
The report was filed late. Late submissions are not accepted.
therefore. The release was approved.
see, more importantly listen here.
gotta go, will catch up to ya later.

siRNA-based approaches in cancer therapy
G R Devi1
The availability of the human genome sequence has revolutionized the strategy of employing nucleic acids with sequences complementary to specific target genes to improve drug discovery and target validation. Development of sequence-specific DNA or RNA analogs that can block the activity of selected single-stranded genetic sequences offers the possibility of rational design with high specificity, lacking in many current drug treatments for various diseases including cancer, at relatively inexpensive costs. Antisense technology is one such example that has shown promising results and boasts of yielding the only approved drug to date in the genomics field. However, in vivo delivery issues have yet to be completely overcome for widespread clinical applications. In contrast to antisense oligonucleotides, the mechanism of silencing an endogenous gene by the introduction of a homologous double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), transgene or virus is called post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) or RNA interference. PTGS is a natural mechanism whereby metazoan cells suppress expansion of genes when they come across dsRNA molecules with the same sequence. Short interfering RNA is currently the fastest growing sector of this antigene field for target validation and therapeutic applications. Although, in theory, the development of genomics-based agents to inhibit gene expression is simple and straightforward, the fundamental concern relies upon the capacity of the oligonucleotide to gain access to the target RNA. This paper summarizes the advances in the last decade in the field of PTGS using RNA interference approaches and provides relevant comparisons with other oligonucleotide-based approaches with a specific focus on oncology applications.
but, nah, this was written too late....in 2005 So scratch that one let's move on to this: they friggin knew it antibiotic resistant vs. drug reactions.....and I read something on this back last Nov. or so,,,,was talking about all the soldiers and them dying of drug interactions.....LETS NEVER FORGET OUR POOR TRAVIS.....
Drug Interaction or Adverse Drug Reaction? Confusing Terms. 10 July 1998
The news item (BMJ 1998;316:1930), while citing a reference(1), mistakingly has ascribed two million American hospitalizations annually to drug interactions instead of adverse drug reactions (ADR). ADRs may include drug interactions as one of many causes but the reverse is not true. The reader is cautioned regarding usage of drug reaction terms as multiple nearly-similar terms of varying granularity abound. Examples of drug interaction terms include adverse drug interaction, drug-drug interaction, drug-laboratory interaction, drug-food interaction, etc.
Drug interaction is defined as, "An action of a drug on the effectiveness or toxicity of another drug". And "An adverse reaction to a drug has been defined as any noxious or unintended reaction to a drug that is administered in standard doses by the proper route for the purpose of prophylaxis, diagnosis, or treatment(2). However, WHO's original definition of ADR excluded therapeutic failures, intentional and accidental poisoning and drug abuse, as well as adverse events due to medication errors such as drug administration or non-compliance(1).
Recently, another more inclusive term, Adverse Drug Event (ADE) has come into use. According to Bates et al, the term ADE, defined as an injury resulting from medical intervention related to a drug, is preferred since it is more comprehensive and clinically significant than the ADR(3).
Due to non-uniform usage of these terms, it is sometimes difficult to compare various studies and derive incidence rates, etc. for ADRs, and Drug Interactions. Let us hope that standardization of these drug-related terms occurs as rapidly as our understanding of these phenomena evolve.

all device if one looks close has an FCC id tag and even states
in second half of part 15 :
-this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause UNDESIRED operation.
complies with DHHS rules 21 CFR subchapter J.
London and Tamtam, let me clarify. My weight was never affected at all by doxycycline. It helped immensely with pain due to inflamation etc. What I was trying to say is that I think one can gain weight if the load of parasititic organizisms is too high. Just like in filariasis except perhaps more widely distributed.Another cause of weight gain could be the response to the toxins emitted by the organism. The toxins cause an immune response and inflamation. The inflamation can cause weight gain.
I have had this since the early 80's and antibiotics do not make them go away. You will have periods where there are no lesions, however they are always there under your skin and will create lesions again and again. I feel as though my symptoms are almost as bad as a person who has AIDs. The symptoms also wax and wane and are not necessarily related to the timing of the lesions. If any of the "newly infested" want to know what you are in for, just check out any fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue syndrome/sarcoidosis/lyme disease/rosacea etc. bulletin boards. Its all the same disease as far as I am concerned. It starts with chronic fatigue and then develops.

Half of a stolen pizza oven returned
TOWN OF DARIEN--Half of a stolen pizza oven has been returned to a town of Darien business owner, according to a Walworth County Sheriff's office release.
A contractor found part of the large oven the evening of Oct. 28 in the parking lot of the business where it had been stolen 11 days earlier--the former Johnny Angel's Pizzeria and Pub, W7404 Highway X.
The entire pizza oven was stolen Oct. 17 from outside the business that is undergoing renovations, according to the release.
It is valued at about $7,000, Walworth County Sheriff's detective Robert Sharp said.
Video surveillance shows half the oven was loaded on the bed of a truck shortly before 4 p.m. Oct. 17, and the truck traveled south to Interstate 43. A car, described as a station wagon, followed the truck.
Shortly before 6 p.m., video footage shows the truck leaving the business with the other half of the oven in its bed, traveling south to Interstate 43.
The owner told deputies that several people would have been needed to steal the oven because of its weight and size.

Time is right to land pikes, muskies
The Madison lakes went through fall turnover last week, setting the stage for the year's hottest fishing action as waters continue to cool.
Even the notorious green hue caused by algae growth has faded into a lighter shade of pale—even on Waubesa and Kegonsa at the south end of this natural chain.
Cooling waters will cause submergent weed growth to recede, giving baitfish fewer places to hide from toothy critters like pike and muskies. The most important thing to understand in fishing is the predator/prey relationship.
Locate esox food in the chain of life and gators are just a link away. Right now this means finding panfish, which are in the weeds eating smaller baitfish and invertebrates.
Alpha predators such as pike and muskie are on the prowl right now. The best way to hook up is by throwing search bait such as small bucktail or large, shallow-running crankbait.
My favorite weapon on the Madison chain is the venerable Mepps giant-killer bucktail with purple hair and a silver prism blade. A powerful rod and reel are necessary to keep the fish from diving into the weeds once they have felt the hook. A medium-heavy, 7-foot rod with a fast tip and baitcast reel spooled with 30-pound braided line will do the trick. Of course, a leader these fish can't gnaw through is a plus. A nine-inch, 80-pound test fluorocarbon leader will do the trick.
Lake Mendota has the deepest, clearest water on the Madison chain. It also holds the biggest fish, with a number of humps, bars and inside weed edges under the almost 10,000 acres of water here.
If you're hunting a big fish on the Madison chain, Mendota is the place to go. Trophy pike and muskies both live here. These fish didn't get big by being stupid. Even the most seductive hair, wood or shiny blade may not fool them, especially as waters continue to cool along with fish metabolism.
A beautiful sucker only costs about as much as a cup of Starbuck's coffee. Combat with a 50-inch muskie won't last much longer than a grande latte. But the stimulant triggered by a dance with scales and fins is adrenaline, not caffeine.
Going after big muskies without suckers in the fall is like hunting deer with Remington Sluggers rather than more expensive—and much more effective—ammo like Lightfield or Hornady slugs.
As ice begins to cover back bays, lures are exactly that: lures. They pique the interest of big fish, which follow the lure back to your boat where a helpless sucker is tethered like sweet Polly Purebred on the railroad tracks.
Suckers have a geometric value progression as bait as waters cool. For the next couple of weeks, you have an honest shot at success with the Mepps and stickbaits such as Grandma and Jake.
Toothers on Lake Waubesa tend to run smaller but are much more willing. The big weedbed on the lake's north end near the railroad trestle is a great place to look. Weeds on the far south end near Goodland Park are an even better option.
Don't overlook the point out from Rockford Heights near Babcock Park or water out from the Bible Camp slide.
Waubesa can be probed effectively in a day, even an afternoon. Running and gunning is the key to success, don't camp over an area for long if it isn't producing. On the other hand, it doesn't make sense to leave fish to go find fish.
The ultimate truth applies: "You can't catch any fish with your line out of the water."
Storm windows and leaf raking can wait.

Kim Kardashian snatched up Kylie Jenner's two-piece in Miami on Wednesday, and shared a photo of herself wearing the tiny two-piece on Instagram. "Yep stole Kylie's bikini...she's not getting it back," the 33-year-old reality star captioned the pic.
Jenner, 16, posted photos of herself posing in the keyhole swimsuit around the Versace mansion earlier on Wednesday. "Oh haaayyy," she wrote alongside one black-and-white shot of herself.
Apparently, Kim felt the need to try it on for size, too.
"Quick swim before the Dash party!" she posted with yet another selfie of herself in the itty-bitty bikini.
Kim, Kylie, Khloé, Kourtney, and their mom, Kris Jenner, are all in Miami celebrating the opening of their new Dash store. Though they are "working," somehow the Kardashian-Jenner clan always manages to find time for selfies.

Hello I am studying to be a vet and have just done an experiment on Gluconeogenesis looking at the different precursors. I am a bit stuck on why lactate and alanine might be of different efficiency as gluconeogenic substrates, because they are both converted into pyruvate?? Lactate appears to be more efficient at glucose production in a starved rat kidney. why is this ?
if anyone knows at all it would be much appreciated!
well Lactate dehydrogenase catalyses lactate to pyruvate buut we haven't been taught about the conversion of alanine to pyruvate so i don't know... is it anything to do with amino acids being used by the body during starvation and lactate produced from muscles being removed from the blood by gluconeogenesis?
or perhaps that a by-product of energy production from alanine is urea and removal of this uses energy? ahhh so confused!
Also, there was production of some glucose in the control flasks with no substrate in them....why would this be??
Re: Gluconeogenesis
I'm not too sure, but it may be because gluconeogenesis from amino acids is less favorable than lactate.
The [delta]G of L-Lactate to Pyruvate is 25.1, so it's energetically unfavorable. However, to turn lactate into pyruvate, all you need to do is oxidize the hydroxyl group at the C2 carbon.
On the other hand, Alanine needs to be deaminated via Alanine transminase, that uses PLP as a cofactor to transfer the amino group to a-ketoglutarate. Alanine then needs to be hydrolyzed and oxidized to yield Pyruvate.
It's probably simpler and more energetically favorable to oxidize lactate, than to deaminate, hydrolyze, and oxidize alanine to yield the same product.
Some small amount of glucose may be found in your cells with no substrate from gluconeogenesis of residual metabolic intermediates? Acetyl-CoA, Oxaloacetate, malate, PEP or isomerization from fructose?
Gluconeogenesis is a ubiquitous process, present in plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, and other microorganisms. In vertebrates, gluconeogenesis takes place mainly in the liver and, to a lesser extent, in the cortex of kidneys.
The process is highly endergonic until ATP or GTP are utilized, effectively making the process exergonic. For example, the pathway leading from pyruvate to glucose-6-phosphate requires 4 molecules of ATP and 2 molecules of GTP. Gluconeogenesis is often associated with ketosis. Gluconeogenesis is also a target of therapy for type II diabetes, such as metformin, which inhibits glucose formation and stimulates glucose uptake by cells.

Liver is a very important versatile organ for mammals.
Gluconeogenesis from lactate is very easy as the lactate is the end product of anerobic glycolysis.
Gluconeogenesis from alanine is realtively difficult as the 'N' must be removed as urea.
In gluconeogeneis there is no "net" calorie production but a survival meachanism for brain and muscles.
In alanine, additional energy should be spent over deaminase, urea synthesis and excretion.
Kidneys may lack these enzymes or lesser efficient isoforms, subcellular oragnaells than liver.
The extra energy spent for nitrogen removal is the "gap" in efficiency.
The nitrogen build up is more toxic to cells, so the cycle of alanine to glucose is very difficult.
kidney < liver

Wuidemane Early Origins
Yorkshire where they held a family seat as Lords of the manor of Woodmansey. Later another branch of the family was found at Fenrother in Northumberland. "This place was at an early period held under the barons of Bothal, by the family of Fenrother. In the reign of Henry III., and subsequently, the Herons had possessions here; and among other owners have been the priors of Tynemouth, and the family of Woodman: it is now the property of Mr. Woodman, and the Duke of Portland."

Lucille A. "Lucy" (PInnow) Mowery, Fort Atkinson, WI (1962-2014)
March 29, 1962 - March 25, 2014
Lucille A. "Lucy" (Pinnow) Mowery 51, of Fort Atkinson, passed away Tuesday, March 25, 2014, at her home. She was born on March 29, 1962, in Fort Atkinson. She was the daughter of William and Alice (Cusick) Pinnow. Lucy graduated from Jefferson High School in 1980. She married Terrance Mowery in September of 1989; he preceded her in death in October of 2009. She worked for Frank's County Market and was the head of catering at the Rivers Edge Market until December of 2013.
Lucy personified the definition of independence. She raised three strong daughters and worked harder than anyone to support her family. She loved spending free days with her daughters, often times visiting the zoo, especially the giraffes. Fondest memories were annual trips with her daughters through parts of Wisconsin, including Wisconsin Dells, Poynette (Big Jake at Smokey Hollow Farms) and numerous campgrounds. Lucy always loved the annual fall campout at her parents' house which brought the entire Pinnow family together for laughs over the campfire, games of midnight, s'mores and enough food to feed the Packers, her favorite team. Lucy's passion for developing personal connections was evident with the many lives she touched over the years while working at River's Edge.
Lucy will be deeply missed by her three daughters: Brianna Mowery of Hawaii, Hannah (Jacob Woods) Mowery of Madison, Chasta Mowery of Fort Atkinson; her parents, William and Alice (Cusick) Pinnow of Johnson Creek; five brothers: Wayne (Barb) Pinnow of Edgerton, Tom R. Pinnow of Fort Atkinson, Bob (Tracy) Pinnow of Jefferson, Bill (Jen) Pinnow of Jefferson, Matt (Hulon Yancey) Pinnow of Georgia; one sister, Gail (Michael) Kenny of Arizona; brothers-in-law, Scott (Tina) Mowery of Stoughton, Dennis (Sandy) Mowery of Arizona; aunts, Virgene (John) Lawson of Sullivan, Bev Huebel of Cambridge; uncles, Thomas C. (Diane) Pinnow of Jefferson, and Francis (Lois) Cusick of Coloma; numerous nieces; nephews; cousins; and many friends; and Ted Wardlow of Utah. She was preceded in death by her paternal grandparents, William and Violet (Eck) Pinnow; maternal grandparents, Elmer and Laura (Schraeder) Cusick; uncles, William (Kenlyn) Cusick, Edward Cusick; and several cousins.
Memorial services will be held at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, April 1, 2014, at the SCHNEIDER-MICHAELIS FUNERAL HOME in Jefferson, with Pastor Mark Lenz officiating. Visitation will be held from 4 until 8 p.m. on Monday evening, March 31, at the SCHNEIDER-MICHAELIS FUNERAL HOME, and then again on Tuesday morning from 10 a.m. until the time of services.
If desired, memorials may be made to the family to set up a fund to be used for Lucy's daughters' education.
The family would like to extend heartfelt appreciation and thanks to the Rainbow Hospice Staff for the wonderful, loving care they provided for Lucy and the whole family.

Houston-based ConocoPhillips didn't have to invent a state-of-the-art treasury operation. It already had one, using SAP's treasury and risk management module within its single global SAP ERP system. But it had to clone that operation quickly and seamlessly when the board of directors decided to split the company in two, making ConocoPhillips an independent exploration and production company with $65 billion in projected annual revenue and putting the downstream businesses into a new company, Phillips 66, with projected revenue of about $190 billion. To minimize the changes, the company decided not to use any new systems or providers. But extensive, complex streams of payments and receipts had to be surgically separated so that each company would be operating securely and efficiently from the go-live date of May 1.
A global treasury separation project team started working in January with the company's three banks, J.P. Morgan, Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Deutsche Bank. "All receipts and disbursements, including lockbox, wires, checks and ACH activities, had to be coordinated across the various groups," notes Tammy Burks, director of cash and reconciliations at Conoco. "Because transactions were commingled under ConocoPhillips' pay-and-receive-on-behalf-of structure, a whole year's worth of data from more than 700 accounts globally had to be analyzed to identify each bank account's activity and supporting processes."
The team scrupulously captured a detailed inventory of every account type, file format, data integration requirement and connectivity protocol, segregated according to which company each would belong to. Bank accounts associated with downstream businesses migrated to Phillips 66, while those that were commingled or associated with the upstream business remained with ConocoPhillips. New accounts were established as needed. It helped that treasury had spent the last three years standardizing transactional processing tools and processes across the globe.
Banks had until April 1 to complete file and connectivity testing. There were challenges. "The cloning of accounts revealed new and unexpected challenges that required finding ways to navigate changes in bank services that were no longer available for deployment within the new organizations," reports banking director Judy Bouchard.
"The mission was to prepare duplicate systems so that all payments could be processed successfully and all receipts posted appropriately on day one," says Diana Noteboom, IT business analyst and project manager. "It was crucial that each company's SAP system could generate separate payment files and properly handle transaction processing for payments and receipts on that date, and we accomplished this." The systems were cloned, as were bank account structures and the cash management and treasury services staffs.
Cloning staff is harder than cloning systems, but ConocoPhillips came close. It nearly doubled the total size of the cash management and treasury services staff. "The cash management group was essentially cloned, one-to-one," Bouchard explains, "and the treasury services group's function changed somewhat for both companies, but we tried to equalize staff. We split the legacy employees pretty evenly and tried to balance depth of experience and expertise. We looked company-wide for talent. We also did some hiring." Noteboom and Bouchard, for example, remain with ConocoPhillips, and Burks went to Phillips 66.
"The project team and the banks did it all; nothing was outsourced, and no consultants were used," Noteboom adds.

Elkhorn residents vote in favor of new city pool
ELKHORN -- Children in Elkhorn could be splashing around in a new pool if the city council approves a new aquatic center.
In a non-binding referendum Tuesday, Elkhorn residents voted 1,069-310 in favor of replacing the pool at Sunset Park.
The split city council will take the voting results to heart and could make a final decision on the issue at its Dec. 2 meeting, Alderman Brian Olson said.
Past and present city councils have debated the future of the deteriorating pool to no avail, and the results are intended to help make a decision, Olson said.
"The community has come out strong and advised the council in rebuilding Sunset Pool and invest in Elkhorn's future," he said. "With that I will ask to move forward on that investment."
Olson said he will ask the city council to "get cracking and get things moving" at the next meeting, and he hopes to ask companies for bids on the project soon.
Robert Slauson, an Elkhorn resident and supporter of a new pool, said he was pleased with Tuesday's results.
"Not only did we win, we won by 78 percent to 22 percent," Slauson said. "I think it shows how important it was to the whole community."
The city council has no time frame or definite design plans, but it has several minimum requirements including handicap accessibility to the pool and showers, six swimming lanes and starting blocks for the city swim teams, and a zero-depth entry.
One thing is settled: the budget. The city could use up to $3.5 million from its $7.5 million capital improvements budget to build a new pool. The budget would not exceed that amount, Olson said.
Residents will see a tax increase of about $38 for a house with a value of $100,000—an increase that would have existed even without the pool, Slauson said.
Elkhorn resident Philip Jones said he voted "no" not because he was against the idea, but because of the amount of money it could cost.
"The only thing I'm against is that our city council seems to be easily persuaded to spend too much money," Jones said. "For less than a quarter of what it could cost to build a new pool, they could have a gorgeous lake for swimming."
