crossing over?
CROSSING-OVER (CROSSOVER) - exchange of genetic material between two homologous chromosomes by the breakage and joining of sister chromatids; occurs during meiosis (reduction division).
AIDS - Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, an ultimately fatal condition produced when a virus destroys the T cells of the body's immune system; AIDS patients are attacked and sometimes killed by opportunistic fungi.
ALGAE (sing. = ALGA) - unicellular or simple multicellular organisms with chlorophyll, lacking the multicellular sex organs typical of plants. Include several phyla from three Kingdoms, Chromista, Protozoa, plus the prokaryotic `blue-green algae' (Cyanobacteria).
ALIMENTARY TOXIC ALEUKIA (ATA) - a mycotoxicosis caused by T-2 toxin (q.v.) which killed many people in Russia during and after World War II.
ALKALOIDS - nitrogen-containing organic compounds produced by plants; physiologically active in vertebrates; many have a bitter taste and some are poisonous.
ALLANTOID - sausage-shaped.
ALLELE - one of the two or more alternative states of a gene that occupy the same position (locus) on homologous chromosomes; alleles are separated from each other at meiosis.
It is ALKALOID we need to look at, that provides for more fungust to grow.
Nucleic Acid Polymorphism: Their Interactions with Plant Alkaloids
Dr. M. Maiti, G. Suresh Kumar, R. C. Yadav and group
The current objectives of this sub-project are to understand the structural polymorphism in nucleic acids and their interaction with plant alkaloids. The long-range objective is to elucidate the mode, mechanism and specificity of binding through physico-chemical studies.
(a) Protonation induced conformations of homo and hetero polymers of guanine-cytosine
Alkaloid: Discussion on this? Will help us a lot.
We have been looking at PH as too high, but, what about high AlKALOID?
Has a lot to do with redux?
has to do with nitrogen fixing. TOO MUCH ALKALOID. Did they forget that when the novel organisms were constructed? creates more poison, I would imagine. just speculatin here.
http://www.friedli.com/herbs/phytochem/ ... loid1.html
Does this give you any Ideas? .......
Fusarium oxysporum sprayed on drug plants in Mexico? Columbia? other places?
Nitrogen-fixing, and ALKALOIDS. Was grown right into the drug plants.
Tyrannical punishment for sins? For drug users? which makes it contagious for others around that drug user? Speculating again.......

Jump to: navigation, search
Diagram of EphedrineAn alkaloid is a nitrogenous organic molecule that has a pharmacological effect on humans and animals. The name derives from the word alkaline; originally, the term was used to describe any nitrogen-containing base (an amine in modern terms). Alkaloids are found as secondary metabolites in plants (e.g., in potatoes and tomatoes), animals (e.g., in shellfish) and fungi, and can be extracted from their sources by treatment with acids (usually hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid, though organic acids such as maleic acid and citric acid are sometimes used).
Usually alkaloids are derivatives of amino acids.
Even though many alkaloids are poisonous (such as strychnine or coniine), some are used in medicine as analgesics (pain relievers) or anaesthetics, particularly morphine and codeine. Most alkaloids have a very bitter taste.
Although formally an alkaloid, the class of pyrazoles contain two nitrogen atoms in the aromatic ring structure and are not found in nature. They must be produced synthetically.
Alkaloid classifications
Alkaloids are usually classified by their common molecular precursors, based on the metabolic pathway used to construct the molecule. When not much was known about the biosynthesis of alkaloids, they were grouped under the names of known compounds, even some non-nitrogenous ones (since those molecules' structures appear in the finished product; the opium alkaloids are sometimes called "phenanthrenes", for example), or by the plants or animals they were isolated from. When more is learned about a certain alkaloid, the grouping is changed to reflect the new knowledge, usually taking the name of a biologically-important amine that stands out in the synthesis process.
Pyridine group: piperine, coniine, trigonelline, arecaidine, guvacine, pilocarpine, cytisine, nicotine, sparteine, pelletierine.
Pyrrolidine group: hygrine, cuscohygrine, nicotine
Tropane group: atropine, cocaine, ecgonine, scopolamine
Quinoline group: quinine, quinidine, dihydroquinine, dihydroquinidine, strychnine, brucine, veratrine, cevadine
Isoquinoline group: The opium alkaloids (morphine, codeine, thebaine, papaverine, narcotine, sanguinarine, narceine, hydrastine, berberine)
Phenethylamine group: mescaline, ephedrine, amphetamine, methamphetamine, MDMA
Indole group:
Tryptamines: DMT, NMT, psilocybin, serotonin, melatonin
Ergolines: the ergot alkaloids (ergine, ergotamine, lysergic acid, etc.), LSD
Beta-carbolines: harmine, yohimbine, reserpine, emetine
Purine group:
Xanthines: caffeine, theobromine, theophylline
Terpenoid group:
Aconite alkaloids: aconitine
Steroids: solanine, samandarin
Betaines (quaternary ammonium compounds): muscarine, choline, neurine
Pyrazole group: pyrazole, fomepizole
Can we discuss this? Come one you scientists out there, you must know about Alkaloids?
Remember the purple pill for Acidosis? It was alkaline? connection anyone. Thank you AMA, FDA etc. Made a mess of things.

The early summer 1996 aerial spraying of Ultra Glyphosate (Monsanto's "Round-Up") on 45,000 acres of Guaviare coca caused convulsive vomiting and hair loss among the children. The enraged mothers organized the August 1996 march of more than 150,000 campesinos in Guaviare, Putumayo and Caqueta provinces. The Colombian federales diffused the protest with false compromises, then stealthily assassinated the march leaders. Many of the surviving campesinos turned, for the first time, to the guerrillas. The U.S. then insisted that Colombia allow it to switch to the far more poisonous tebuthiuron (Dow's "Spike"). Now, if the US State Department has its way, the ongoing chemical spraying will be followed by the massive, nearly indetectable high altitiude dropping of Agent Green (the mycoherbicide fusarium oxysporum formae specialis [f.sp.] erythroxyli). Agent Green is an extension of the US-engineered 1997 UN Drug Control Program's SCOPE program (Strategy for Coca and Opium Poppy Elimination). [1]
The SCOPE program is, ultimately, a CIA/Defense contractor/World Bank/International Monetary Fund plan to force the corporatization of millions of acres of campesino-held land by physically destroying their only economic mainstay, their agriculture. "Drugs" have no more to do with this war than "communism" had to do with the 1954 war against Jacobo Arbenz in Guatemala. That war was about ownership of Guatemala. Arbenz' government was about as communist as Franklin Roosevelt's. This war is about ownership of Colombia, and, for that matter, Burma, Thailand, Peru, Bolivia et al.
But the UNDCP was forced to admit, January, 2000, that Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan have refused to carry out the field testing of the opium poppy mycoherbicide that they had previously approved. Then, on March 24, Peru passed a law banning the use of biological agents in coca eradication. And in Lima, Sept. 7, 2000, the Andean Committee of Environmental Authorities (CAAAM), representing the governments of Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela, stated its "rejection of the use of the 'Fusarium oxysporum' fungus as a means of eradicating illegal crops in the Member Countries of the Andean Community." [2] The CAAAM was following the lead of the Colombian Ministry of the Environment, which declared on July 18 that the Colombian Government, "did not accept the proposal put forward by the United Nations International Drug Control Programme to conduct tests using the Fusarium oxysporum because it considered that any agent foreign to the native ecosystems of our country could pose a serious threat to the environment and to human health."
Even Bush/McCollum-led Florida has rejected the mycoherbicide idea, thanks to a Bush-appointee with some real backbone, and its rejection reveals the real purpose of the policy. In 1999, Ag/Bio Con, Inc., a Montana-based USDA-connected company with an inside track to Defense Department financing, proposed using a cannabis-killing strain of Fusarium oxysporum in Florida. The proposal was engineered by James McDonough, Florida's Director of the Office of Drug Control. Jeb Bush brought McDonough to Florida from his position as McCaffrey's Director of Strategy for the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy. Florida's Rep. Bill McCollum engineered the first $23 million for mycoherbicide financing in his defense contractor's dream bill, the $2.3 billion "Western Hemisphere Drug Elimination Act." Virtually all of McCollum's $2.3 billion went for weapons purchases for the vast US Southern Command and for the dope dealing armies of Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, etc. Beamed Bill, "All of the indications are that this [mycoherbicide] has the potential for making a big difference in the drug war.... This could be the silver bullet." [3]
The head of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, David B. Struhs, quashed the maniacal idea, pointing out that it was more like a silver bullet in the head: "Fusarium species are capable of evolving rapidly. Mutagenicity is by far the most disturbing factor in attempting to use a Fusarium species as a bioherbicide. It is difficult, if not impossible to control the spread of Fusarium species. The mutated fungi can cause disease in large numbers of crops, including tomatoes, peppers, flowers, corn and vines and are normally considered a threat to farmers as a pest, rather than as a pesticide…. Fusarium species are more active in warm soils and can stay resident in the soil for years. Their longevity and enhanced activity under Florida conditions are of concern, as this could lead to an increased risk of mutagenicity." [4]
This information was not news to the Department of Defense, and its contractor, Ag/Bio Con. Quite the contrary. Fusarium's spectacularly deadly mutagenicity has been firmly established in biological science for years. Like various other plant pathogens, Fusarium oxysporum has several specialized forms - known as formae specialis (f.sp.) - that infect a variety of hosts causing various diseases. In Hawaii, these include: Fusarium oxysporum f.sp.asparagi (fusarium yellows on asparagus); f.sp.callistephi (wilt on China aster); f.sp.cubense (Panama disease/wilt on banana); f.sp.dianthi (wilt on carnation); f.sp.koae (on koa); f.sp.lycopersici (wilt on tomato); f.sp.melonis (fusarium wilt on muskmelon); f.sp.niveum (fusarium wilt on watermelon); f.sp.pisi (on edible-podded pea); f.sp.tracheiphilum (wilt on Glycine max); and f.sp.zingiberi (fusarium yellows on ginger).
These specialized forms are an indication of the spectacular mutagenicity referred to by Florida's chief environmental officer. Once released, the thing would become a deadly threat to Florida's major industry, as race 2 of Fusarium oxysporum now is to the watermelon industry in Texas and Oklahoma. [5]
US Forest Service: Forest Health Protection, Southern Region: "Mimosa Wilt, caused by Fusarium oxysporium var. perniciosum: Importance. - Mimosa wilt is the most devastating disease of mimosa. In many areas it has almost eliminated ornamental mimosas."[6] Worldwide, Fusarium oxysporum is deadly to chrysanthemum, grape, potato, cotton, vanilla, date, sunflower, coffee, mimosa, avocado, cabbage, celery, squash, soy, tobacco, clover, various melons, eucalyptus, pine trees, sesame, beet, African palm, eggplant, numerous other important cultivars and innumerable wild plants on which wildlife depend.
When the Kenyans tried to do something about the Fusarium oxysporum f.sp.cubense that was devastating their small-scale banana farms, they found 4 different Fusarium oxysporum races and more than more than 20 different "bridging groups." [7] Scientists in Hawaii have reported over 24 fusarium species there. The list of affected Hawaiian plants is about three times longer than the list I cited above and the economic and ecological damage in Hawaii has been severe. [8] Yet our own Department of Defense, under McCaffrey's direction, is proposing intentionally dropping this stuff on small-scale campesinos worldwide. All in the name of a war on "drugs," meaning the traditional sacramental herbs of native peoples. The transparent purpose is corporate, that is, defense-contractor, land theft.
Remember the American Chestnut tree? I bet you don't. At the end of the nineteenth century, the American chestnut was a major component of eastern deciduous forests from Maine to Georgia and west to Illinois, in some places constituting more than 40% of overstory trees. Early in the twentieth century, chestnut blight, a nonindigenous fungal disease from Asia, broke out near New York City and quickly infected almost all American Chestnuts on the continent, driving the species to ecological extinction. American Chestnuts now exist only as scattered small trees that become infected and die as they mature. There is no known cure for the Chestnut fungus Cryphonectria parasitica. That's how dangerous fungal diseases are. And Fusarium oxysporum is far more evolutionarily agile than the unstoppable Chestnut blight. That's what these maniacs are playing with.
In 1994, the USDA-contracted researchers attempted to rig an experimental test of the "species specificity" of fusarium osysporum f.sp.erythroxyli by insisting that it be tested only on North American plants completely unrelated to the South American erythroxylum coca. Lo and behold, much to their own chagrin, they proved that fusarium oxysporum f.sp.erythroxyli was anything but specific to erythroxylum coca. North American meadowfoam (Limnanthes douglasii) and redstem filaree (Erodium cicutarium) succumbed to the fungal attack - confirming, of course, that this stuff is spectacularly dangerous to all agriculture anywhere it is sprayed. [9]
And that, of course, is the real point of its proposed use in the third world. During the early 1990's, two decades after Ag/Bio Con first discovered fusarium oxysporum f.sp.erythroxyli on Coca Cola's Hawaiian coca plants, another fusarium epidemic, known locally as "seca-seca" ["dry-dry"] swept through the coca patches of the upper Huallaga Valley in eastern Peru. Jeremy Bigwood & Sharon Stevenson: "Coincidentally, one of the apparent epicenters of the disease was near the US antinarcotics fire base at Santa Lucia. Peasants in the area complained of their coca patches being sprayed from helicopters. In a debriefing of the US-funded Peruvian National Coordinator for Human Rights ('La Coordinadora') about their 1993 Annual Trip to Peru's Huallaga Valley Jungle Region, 'the delegation was struck, however, by the devastation caused by the fungus plague that is withering coca crops. They were assailed at almost every stop with accounts of US DEA airplanes spreading "fungus pods" over the coca fields . . .'"
"Over the last decade, the disease spread to the Yurimaguas area, the northern limit of Peruvian coca cultivation as well as beyond Pucallpa in the east. During this period, disturbing revelations about its nature were documented by the US State Department through the US embassy in Lima, who were following its progression in their reports to Washington, D.C.. The embassy recorded reports that the Fusarium coca wilt disease was not specific to coca, but killed other crops, too: 'Meanwhile, reportedly 3000 farmers in the Tingo Maria and Leonicio Prado area . . . have had to scratch for other means of earning a living, including panning for gold, when a plant disease, 'seca-seca' which had previously attacked coca plants broke out again in alternate crops planted in former coca beds.'" [10]
In fact, the defense contractors themselves aknowledged fusarium's lack of species specificity by inanely insisting that the "species-specific" strain was "specific" to two completely different varieties of coca, Erythroxylum coca var. coca and Erythroxylum novogranatense var. novogranatense. Their own tests showed that var. novogranatense fared far better under "specific" attack than did var. coca. [11]
The only way to positively identify fusarium disease is through laboratory culturing and diagnosis, and the only known defense is massive antifungal spraying combined with specially engineered resistant strains of commercial food crops - agribiz. By destroying traditional agriculture in southern Colombia (there is evidence this is also happening on the Burma-Thai border with the Akha's staple ginger crop), you destroy the campesinos hold on their land and force them into the cash economy - as sharecroppers on land they no longer own. Given the Prohibition-inflated value of drug crops, many of the landless campesinos will become drug-crop sharecroppers on Army-owned or connected land.
The "anti-drug" fungal spraying is proposed only for rebel-held areas. During the investigation of former Colombian President Samper's financing it was revealed that, while coordinating drug shipments, Cali traffickers, Samper's financiers, racked up a $200,000 phone bill on a number assigned to Brig. Gen. Ismael Trujillo, then head of the Federal Judicial Police, the guy in charge of the U.S. Drug War in Colombia. The Cali money was funneled through Fernando Botero, Samper's 1994 campaign manager and Defense Minister. That is, the Cali cartel was an organic part of the establishment in charge of the Colombian military. Their vast monocrop drug fincas were never sprayed by glyphosate and tebuthiuron, because they weren't in rebel-held areas.
The situation today remains unchanged, as the investigation of Col. Hiett has revealed, and as the dope-dealing army-connected paramilitary leader Carlos Castaño Gil has admitted. Reuters, September 6, 2000: "The head of Colombia's outlawed right-wing paramilitary forces, who has conceded most of his financing comes from the drug trade, said Wednesday that he also gets support from the local and international business community. Carlos Castano, leader of the ruthless United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia (AUC), spoke of his ties to legitimate businessmen in an open letter to Congress, a day after Defense Minister Luis Fernando Ramirez urged lawmakers to launch a probe into private sources of funding for the paramilitary militias that target leftists and suspected rebel sympathizers across Colombia…. Local and international human rights groups say the AUC, which is responsible for most of the peasant massacres and other rights abuses committed in Colombia, operates with the support of state security forces in an increasingly dirty war with Marxist rebels that has taken more than 35,000 lives since 1990. In a rare television interview in March, Castano said drug trafficking and drug traffickers probably financed 70 percent of his organization's operations."
In direct contravention of innumerable chemical warfare and ecological treaties, intentional ecocide is being proposed here. US State Department documents, signed by Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, urge the UNDCP to set up testing for "large-scale implementation" of fusarium on coca in Colombia and to get other countries involved "in order to avoid a perception that this is solely a US government initiative." [12] This, while the USDA officially estimates the Fusarium oxysporum spore survival structures stay active in soil for 40 years. [13] And no test, either by Ag/Bio Con or anyone else, has ever been able to contain the pathogenicity of fusarium - once released, the thing is an uncontrollable mutating monster.
Some strains of Fusarium oxysporum produce the toxic substances fusaric acid, moniliformin , trichothecenes and fusarin C . Trichothecenes is dangerous enough to be listed as a biological weapons agent in the draft Protocol to the UN Convention on Biological and Toxic Weapons.
Fumonisins have been shown to cause a neurological disease, equine leucoencephalomalacia in horses, pulmonary edema in swine, hepatotoxic and nephrotoxic effects in other domestic animals, and carcinogenesis in laboratory animals. In humans, mycotoxins can cause reduced growth rate, decreased resistance to infection, fatty liver syndrome and death. [14]
The influential Edward Hammond of the Sunshine Project15, a pioneer in opposition to this nazi science, quotes an 8/7/2000 editorial by the Managing Editor of Chemical and Engineering News, the magazine of the American Chemical Society, entitled "Agent Orange and F. oxysporum": "There is an unavoidable moral component to scientific research, and development of F. oxysporum as a weapon in the war on drugs or any other war violates it. Scientists should just say no to participating in this research." [16]
In closing, let me quote a couple of horrified plant biologists with long experience, John M. McPartland, D.O., M.S. and David P. West, Ph.D.:
"In the case of pathogens of Cannabis, the non-target host at greatest risk, because of its close phylogenetic relationship to Cannabis, is hops (Humulus lupulus). At least 10 fungal pathogens are known to mutually infect Cannabis and Humulus. The next closest relatives are the Urticaceae (members of the nettle family) and the Moraceae (mulberry family), with which Cannabis shares at least 20 fungal pathogens."
"Genetic engineers have recently been investigating a coca pathogen, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. erythroxli (Sands et al. 1997, Nelson et al. 1997). F. oxysporum f. sp. erythroxli was selected for coca eradication because it caused natural epidemics in Peru and on the former Coca-cola plantation on Kauai, where "containment of the fungus proved challenging." (Sands et al. 1997) [That's Dr. David C. Sands of Ag/Bio Con scientifically admitting that he has failed to control the spread of Fusarium to the surrounding ecosystem.] Fusarium oxysporum is well known to bioengineers, and previous researchers successfully inserted toxin genes into the species. Nevertheless, Gabriel considered it "unwise" to clone a toxin gene into a necrotrophic pathogen (such as F. oxysporum). He argued that such a pathogen might gain unexpected fitness and radically expand its host range, "a potentially dangerous experiment." Fusarium species can produce a variety of toxic metabolites known as trichothecenes, which gained some notoriety for their reputed use in biological warfare ("yellow rain"). F. oxysporum is known to cause systemic infections in humans." [17]
Will look for more references on this.
AN OUT OF CONTROL FUNGUS, water, plants, air,
Do we want the truth or do we just want to fish around among the fungus?
Why? The drugs were started, then something to kill the drugs. It has always been related to drugs people.
Think,..........Natural drugs can heal. Pharma cannot patent natural.....the only way they could patent.....would be to alter DNA, proteins,.....then they could say was not natural, synthetic, and now morphegenesis.
We know, many doctors have said, natural products can cure all diseases. Like free energy..........it is free. people............
HENCE the connect between DOE/EPA?
FDA/USDA/ etc..........CIA.......
Whoa, Hey Skytroll!
When I posted that to TAM TAM above, I was actually at the end of reading the previous page and had no idea about your post here.
Isn't that fusarioum interesting? I so feel so sorry for the people in Mexico and south america.
You know we dropped it out of planes on Cuba years and years ago. right?
And.....I saw your link and mention of checkens and the bird flu above. Funny, butr I got some things that popped up bird flue this morning too (HSN-51? )
which is worse? bird flu or aids? Tough call for me......
whatever this is it is multiple DNA involvement.
So, Skytroll, what do you think as regards to HIV? I'm just curious.
I will just answer to a small part of your post, because I do not think humanely possible to discuss all on this forum, but the problem is that, with other posters here, you seem to have only a limited grasp on the meaning of what you post, snd some links, although interesting in their own right do not make sense in whatever context you are presenting them. beware of keywords and seqrch engine they are just the beginning of good search. It is even more important to understand what you are posting and what links between the different bits of information you have to make sense of it all. This do not apply to you only, by the way.
So just to answer one of your questions, alkaloides are alkali (ie when in solution their pH is above 7) just like plenty of other molecules. And they are not related to alkalosis. Why because this is just a nice medical word to talk about a pH change of the blood. So the root of the word is identical, but that is about everything alkalosis ans and alkaloids have in common. By the way many alkaloids would kill people because of their toxic effects well before they reach concentration that can significantly alter your health.
Science has proof without any certainty. Creationists have certainty without
any proof. (Ashley Montague)
That last sentence would prove true especially if the fungus was grown gene inserted, horizontal transfer, into the drug plant, wouldn't it?
Alkaloid of soil
alkaloid of algae
alkaloid of fungus
alkaloid in blood
All related to amino acids, right?
I am sorry if I put it out there like this, I will try in the future, to narrow it down, but, I do have much more information, that seems to tie into many things.
I will try to make it make more sense. Sorry about that.
Could you translate this for us?

On Aug 28, it was revealed that Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) officials are investigating a series of major data breaches that targeted between four and five major U.S. financial institutions earlier in the month. Of the institutions affected, JPMorgan Chase is the only one to be identified as of yet, the extent of the damage is not currently clear.
While the source of the story was unable to make comments publicly, USA Today reports that those close to the investigation believe that Russian hackers may have been responsible for the breaches. What is known is that the breaches likely took place within the last month and may have been the manifestation of phishing attacks targeting financial employees.
JPMorgan says that as of yet it has been unable to detect any suspicious activity related to the breach. According to the Wall Street Journal the bank is working closely with the FBI to determine the scope of the hack and its potential ramifications.

"Companies of our size unfortunately experience cyberattacks nearly every day," said Trish Wexler, a JPMorgan spokeswoman, in a statement to the Wall Street Journal. "We have multiple layers of defense to counteract any threats and constantly monitor fraud levels." Wexler did not confirm that the attacks had taken place.
According to sources close to the investigation, the infiltration of JPMorgan's systems was likely malware-based, and could have gained access to the bank's information stores through an employee workstation. Phishing attempts could have prompted employees to download Trojan viruses through email and left the door open for more aggressive entry into the bank's data systems. The motivation for gaining that access is also unclear at this time.
In a letter to shareholders about cybersecurity earlier this year, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said that, "by the end of 2014, we will have spent more than $250 million annually with approximately 1,000 people focused on the effort." Dimon went on to say that the issue will require even more focus in the years to come.
Though the extent of the damage has yet to be determined, events like this serve to underscore how critical cybersecurity programs are. They also show that even with considerable resources and effort, getting ahead of cybercrime can be a Sisyphean ordeal.

Our Views: School board right to support credit for sports
The Janesville School District should grant a half credit of physical education for high school students who play interscholastic sports.
Other districts also should consider this concession.
Wait a minute, you might think. Doesn't cultivating the lifelong habit of being physically active and introducing the many ways to do so involve more than simply getting in shape and learning a sport such as football? And didn't The Gazette report that the Janesville School Board was exploring this credit change just a day after the newspaper's lead headline announced that a new study says children are falling behind physically?
Well, yes. That story did suggest that kids today can't run as far or as fast as their parents did when they were young. It found that children's fitness worldwide has declined the past three decades.
The wide majority of students who go out for sports, however, aren't the type of kids we should worry about sitting around watching TV or playing video games all day. Besides, the tradeoff is that students who would get a half credit of phy ed for playing sports would gain flexibility in choosing other classes. Kids could take classes that better fit their interests.
The state requires students to earn 1.5 credits in phy ed. A law that took effect in December 2011 grants school boards the power to let students who play sports skip one phy ed course and instead add a half credit of English, social studies, math, science or health. Nothing wrong with kids taking more such core classes. It was no surprise that, in this era of childhood obesity, the American Heart Association opposed the legislation.
Yes, phy ed teachers will suggest their courses involve more than just exercise and that they teach skills that differ from those kids learn in sports. However, Kim Ehrhardt, the Janesville district's director of instruction, says the phy ed departments do not oppose the change.
School board member Bill Sodemann has been pushing it for years, and a board committee last month endorsed it for further development. As Sodemann has suggested, it's ludicrous to force a star athlete to take phy ed instead of getting the chance to sign up for more advanced placement classes. Most athletes get more exercise playing sports than they would in a gym class. The situation could be likened, Sodemann reasons, to requiring a student taking AP calculus to go back and take a basic math course just because it's required.
Besides, playing basketball or volleyball could translate into adult participation in such sports.
It's worth noting that board member Kristin Hesselbacher, who often sees things differently than Sodemann, sees the merits in this change. She has a close-up view of the dilemma students face. Her son is trying to get all the science classes he can but finds the phy ed requirement blocking another option.
Ehrhardt told The Gazette that he will work with principals and phy ed teachers on a proposal for the board to consider and that the change might be in place by early next fall.
The sooner the district can kick this idea through the uprights, the better.

Which new features do you want the most?
The ability to easily report spam in the tasting notes and the discussion board. The current method is incredibly cumbersome, even requiring a separate account.
I don't think I've encountered spam in tasting notes. How would you define spam in that context? Personal stuff rather than a tasting notes or something like advertisements?
I've seen companies create profiles and post tasting notes as ads. I've also seen one tea company with about 5 fake profiles that gave tremendously high ratings and reviews to all of their teas.
Here's a funny example:
http://steepster.com/Indianteacompany [don't click the external company link]
I don't think they're really even a tea store because if you click the link, it's virus city. So I guess they just picked a popular tea thinking they could compromise the most people.
Here's a new one that gives their tea a 100 rating and then goes on other similar teas and says they are not good and includes a link to their own tea. This kind of marketing doesn't win over buyers, I just don't get it.
Incredibly cumbersome to report spam? Just email jason at steepster.com and let him know about it. I send him links to duplicate company or tea entries whenever I run across them; recently even sent him some graphically obscene tasting note a troll had posted, which was a bizarre surprise on this site. He always responds quickly.
Would be even easier if you're following each other.
We're going to continue to disagree because I still think it is "incredibly cumbersome".
Clicking the 'report anything inappropriate' link on this page sends the user to an external site that requires a separate login. Most sites similar to this (forums, etc.) have an integrated reporting/flagging capability. Sure, users can leave the site, log in to their email, compose an email indicating what the problem is and where it can be found – many steps more than a simple flagging/reporting link and too many steps for most people. Clicking a flag and simply picking why from a list of reasons or typing an explanation like 'spam' is easier than the current alternatives. The reports can also be weighted by the number of people who've done the reporting, so the worst items get cleaned up first.
I am going to follow Jason so I can message him if he follows me back, thank you.
I thought I saw this but option to search tea companies as well as tea types would be nice. Like being able to view what all teas a companies sales and stuff.
If you click on the Teas button up top in the black banner, it'll bring you to the highest rated teas. Over to the right side of the screen there are a bunch of letters representing the first letter in a tea company's name, click on those and you can search for what company you want and there will be a listing of their teas that they have on Steepster there.
I think it would be really helpful to be able to sort tea reviews by date. As tea harvests change by season, it would be nice to sort by most recent review.
Is there already a way to go back and see all the tasting notes that I "liked" or all the ones that another used "liked"? Along the same lines, is it currently possible to see all of my posts in the discussions at a glance? I am still kind of new here and don't know all the features that currently exist.
A mobile app, of course!
And, a bottom line feature. A lot of people feel the need to review their day rather than their tea. I just want to know if I want to drink it or not. I don't care that you drank it after you took your six kids to school and cause it's raining outside and you're feeling deflated. That's what blogs are for, not reviews.
Bottom line, would you recommend it? Is it good? BOOM. Short and simple.
It doesn't bother me any. Most of those type of reviews are pretty brief with the blog aspect and the reviewer often highlights the tea-specific portion in some obvious manner (though, not always).
In a way, I often find the extra non-tea info useful. Sometimes it is nice to know the kind of mood a person was in when they chose that particular blend or if they were feeling physically unwell, etc. That way I have an idea if its a good-mood type of tea or rainy-day type of tea, etc. Sure, this is all very subjective, but so is the tea review itself. My mother said she also likes the short personal additions to the reviews. All within reason of course (We shouldn't be writing a novel-length biographies).
Mobile app and an alert when someone tags us in a review. With the amount of swapping a lot of us do, it would be nice to be made aware when someone we swapped with drinks what we sent. I find that part of things interesting.
Not sure if this has been suggested but I'd rather not sift through 40+ pages to check. Lol. So sorry if this is a duplicate suggestion.
A 'this tea is available for swap' feature would be awesome. Like the options to add to cupboard or shopping list, but it puts it on a swap list instead.
I would love an option like that 'cause so many of the teas I have in my cupboard are small sample sizes that aren't sutible for swapping 'cause there isn't enough of them. But I don't want to remove them from my cupboard to avoid offering them for swapping because either I have yet to drink/review them or I just don't want to go searching for them all over again. Lol.
A lot of people like to pay attention to which harvest/year their tea is from because some teas can be highly different from year to year or harvest to harvest, but there doesn't seem to be any system as to how this information is added to the database entry. Some people have put it in the company description which just then becomes a muddle because people use the same entry for lots of different harvests/years. Others have added the year to the name of the tea which sometimes makes the entry name a bit unwieldy at a glance, especially when not everybody then uses the same naming scheme.
What if we had a specific entry field for this information like we have with the name and the company and the picture? So that when we filled out the form for adding a new tea it said,
Company description
Obviously it would either have to be a non-required field like the company description is now, or there could perhaps be a little tickybox for when it was unknown information.
That would make the naming scheme for these teas much more systematic and it would be easier to find the correct entry.
I agree that it would be great to be able to separate by year/harvest, however there are already many duplicate tea entries, even without the year being added (I've been routinely sending them to Jason for cleanup but it's continuous – people apparently aren't immediately finding the tea they want to rate so they're adding it). Seems that this would be exacerbated by adding a lot of new tea entries by year. How about this alternative: to add a year/harvest field for the rating of a tea which could then be sorted by users when desired.
I suggest adding a combobox both to the tea's page and for tea note page that will let the user select the year they are adding/reading/reviewing. Unless something is selected in it – the user will be shown full spectrum of tasting notes, otherwise – notes for particular harvest
I'd like a way to find posts I've written! I can't find some old posts that I want to reread for the information that others have given…I never subscribed to it at the time (since I get ALOT of email notifications if I do) but now I'm looking for a way to find that thread I started…ugh! It would be a nice feature to have to see past posts!
1 word. Pleasemakeanapp.

Pet sitters turn their love for animals into growing businesses
JANESVILLE—Roxie patiently waited for company in front of the full-length glass door.
Her dog walker, Lisa Jummrich of Furry Blessings, was about to arrive for their half-hour morning walk.
When Roxie noticed Jummrich approaching the driveway, she barked with excitement.
Roxie's owner, H. Mitchell Bliss, said his wife, Pat, walked their 5-year-old female Scottie until a month before she died in July. He hasn't been able to walk Roxie since falling on the ice and breaking his left femur last winter.
"I tried it one day with the walker, but there's no way I could do it," he said.
That's why Bliss about six months ago hired Jummrich, a professional pet sitter. He'd gotten a referral from a neighbor.
"She's absolutely great," Bliss said.
In addition to walking the dog, Jummrich administered eye drops to Roxie.
Bliss said he isn't sure he'd be able to keep his dog without Jummrich's help, and the thought of giving up Roxie is unbearable.
"She's just a great pet and companion," he said.
Bliss isn't alone in his need for local pet services.
Jummrich started her business in 2004 and has grown it to 300 clients. She provides services 365 days a year between 4 a.m. and midnight.
Among her clients, about 5 percent are elderly or physically challenged older adults who need their dogs walked or care for their cats.
"Many are senior citizens that travel. Other clients are people working long hours, wanting to get away, or they may not feel like walking during inclement weather," she said.
Kauffman said most of her clients are single people, commuters and people who work long shifts who don't want to take advantage of family and friends to care for their pets.
Demand for pet-sitting services has grown so much locally that Jummrich has helped nine other animal lovers become professional pet sitters. Of those, five are still going strong and cover a large amount of The Gazette subscriber area, she said.
Among them are Tammy Kauffman of Aunt Tammy's and Sandy Welles of Creature Comforts.
All three women are insured, are members of Pet Sitters International and work with any breed of dog and most other pets. They meet pet owners before taking them on as clients and require contracts detailing feeding and exercise schedules, medications and veterinarian contact information.
Dr. Terence McSweeny, a veterinarian at All Creatures Vet Clinic in Janesville, said it's important to have a pet sitter who is insured.
"It shows the sitter is serious and interested in being professional and while taking care of animals provides that added protection," he said.
Exercise is as important for animals as it is for humans, he said.
"It helps us stay in shape, helps the cardiovascular system, our muscles and overall weight when burning calories. It's also important to expend the energy in some breeds that are high strung. If they don' get exercise, they tend to get a bit naughty," he said.
Providing care for a pet in its home typically means less anxiety for the pets, McSweeny said.
Barb Tapovatz, Janesville, agreed.
"It's just better for them and less distress when they're in their own backyard and neighborhood. They're just happier being home," she said of her 14-year-old Bichon and 6-year-old Schnoodle.
Tapovatz said she feels lucky to have a dependable pet sitter such as Jummrich.
"I couldn't just leave them with anybody," she said. "That piece of mind is everything to me."

You know you're "addicted" to tea when ....
When you have 68 teas in your cupboard, have tried more than 50 of them, have another 10 on the way, and you've only been drinking tea for two weeks. I used to say I disliked tea, but I had only drank Lipton and Tetley before two weeks ago. I was never this addicted to coffee!
I was the same way. Only had crappy tea & my stash grew quickly. So quickly I cannot even keep up to organize it.
…when visitors offer to pay money when being seved a cup of tea, thinking you own a tea house of some kind and need the financing to avoid bankruptcy!
I guess the prominent wooden armoire in my kitchen strickly reserved for tea might be misleading! (I am reorganizing it, when it's all done and I'm finally proud of it, I might post what it looks like in the existing topic I saw here)
I've started drinking hot black tea with meals, in addition to water.
I guess your even more addicted when you don't see anything abnormal about that! :)
for me it is green, but agree with Azzrian…been doing this for years, sans water.
I like chai with dinner, and rooibos later in the evening.
im doing a daniel fast next week and top beverage i cant have is tea… I WORK AT DAVIDS TEA WHAT AM I GONNA DO.
When you don't even blink when your bill at the end of a tea shopping trip is over $100.
When you drink more tea than plain water (at least 4 refills of my 1.8L kettle worth of tea per day…)
When you want to cry when your family or friends refuse to try the new tea you just got and are super excited about because it's absolutely incredible.
When you want to cry (happily!) because your condescending family FINALLY agrees to try some of your tea and they actually LIKE some of the ones you chose!
Your husband says "I have to admit, this expensive tea smells really good," and you reply "Which one?"
You offer everyone who comes into your house tea. Everyone.
Then you secretly question their character when they turn it down. I mean seriously, why not tea? I have all kinds!
I feel the same way! When they turn down tea I always tell them that I have so many different kinds, anything they could want! If they still say no, the secret judging beings.
Alpha kitty – I usually just think "oh, they like berries/whatever flavour" then make the a cuppa regardless. It works all then time. People are usually too polite to refuse something if its in their faces, and like it in the end!
Generally speaking this doesn't bother me…it means I don't have to share ;)
Though I do wish my Dad and StepMom would get more into tea, well my Dad kind of likes more tea, but can't help but wonder is he humoring me. pouts if so, I'd rather he just be honest and tell me he just is not interested with exception of an occasional cup, If even that.
You bring over half a dozen tea choices to your sister's house to watch the season 3 premiere of Downton Abbey. "Well this one is called Earl of Anxi, it's an oolong with frankincense, this one is Lavender Earl Grey, then there's a mix of two Earl Greys with some rose in it, here's a smokey Scottish black and some Black Currant, I recommend drinking it with the french vanilla, it reminds me of Lady Mary". Though I was routing for the Earl of Anxi, Lady Mary won ;)
Perfect! Of course I had to have tea tonight while watching Downton Abbey too! Oh, and don't you want to know what kind of tea they are drinking in all those scenes?
You start bringing your own teas to parties, along with food.
amen to this one!! prepacking your tea bags with loose leaf so you're never stranded. My boyfriends step father emptied a few Lipton bags and refilled them with my Davids sample last time we were there because I forgot my tea bags and he knew I couldn't just settle.
You know you're addicted to tea when the first thing that pops up when you type "S" into your web browser's address bar is Steepster, "D" is DAVIDs Tea, "R" is Red Leaf Tea, "A" is Adagio, and "F" is "flowering tea creation" (I like watching video clips of blooming teas being made and then blooming, it's fascinating!)
I love flowering teas I'll have to check that out. That will now be on my favorites tab haha…. :-)

Slideshow: Berkeley wields big data to beat cancer
8 comments
BERKELEY, Calif. Researchers showed progress accelerating the search for gene-based cures for cancer and expanding the field of computer theory at an annual event sponsored by the University of California at Berkeley. They also discussed work on next-generation processor architectures and an effort to speed the development of an Internet of Things.
Computer scientist David A. Patterson called for a million genome warehouse to advance work on a cure for cancer. Today separate repositories hold less than 10,000 pieces of genetic information, many of them only partial representations of genes.
"Theres a chance for computer science to help build fast and accurate genetic pipelines and accelerate the move to personalized therapies--I want this in time to help me and my family," he said, noting researchers today often delete genetic data after completing experiments.
Patterson helped develop a tool called SNAP that provides significantly faster and more accurate genetic analysis that tools typically used by cancer researchers today (see below). Benchmarking tools are still needed to improve what are still highly subjective methods used in the field, he said.

Separately, the university will spend $60 million over ten years on a new institute aimed to stake out new frontiers in computer science. "We want to develop a new theory of computing that extends far beyond its current reach and encompasses problems in other fields," said Richard Karp who will direct the effort.
"Many phenomena can be viewed as computational," he said. "If you look at how a living cell operates we can think of it as information processing; an economy is an information processing activity," he added.
The institute will host a symposium in late May in one of its first efforts to gather experts from a broad range of fields to study the possibilities.

Cash is King – Art is Queen
Cash is King – Art is Queen
Financing for the Kunsthaus comes partly from income we generate ourselves through ticket sales for exhibitions, guided tours and visits to the Collection, income the museum shop as well as membership of the Zürcher Kunstgesellschaft. But the Kunsthaus also receives public money (from the city and canton), gifts from foundations, as well as donations from companies and private donors and patrons.
Active sponsoring has been a feature of life at the Kunsthaus Zurich since the nineties, but has intensified since 2002: companies are now actively canvassed and managed personally by a dedicated contact. Sponsoring, a sub-category of fundraising is, unlike both fundraising and patronage, not a one-way street when it comes to communication. Sponsoring always involves a form of exchange, "image for money", in contrast to more discreet donations which are often made out of "love for art". Sponsoring is a marketing tool by which the sponsor aims to achieve its strategic corporate objectives.
In times when funds are ever more difficult to come by in the cultural sector, sponsoring is assuming an ever greater role as a means of obtaining finance. Crucial to successful sponsoring is the exhibition programme: an exhibition that successfully attracts the public guarantees that the sponsor will be able to meet its own communicative goals.
Alongside exhibitions which reach a broad cross-section of the public, such as the Turner exhibition, the Kunsthaus also stages smaller, more scholastic exhibitions for a specialized audience or events tailored to a specific target group, such as the Kunsthaus nights and the long night of the museums for trendy night owls looking for entertainment. It also organizes events in the area of art education for children, young people and adults.
The Kunsthaus offers sponsors individual, tailor-made projects. Successful sponsoring requires precise research: who is the client, what exactly are its goals and target audience? Only once this has been established can we make an offer from the broad range of options for supporting the Kunsthaus in the area of projects or infrastructure. We place great value on long-term sponsoring relationships and partnerships that stand out precisely because they have stood the test of time. The nature and scope of the project determines the degree of exclusivity for the sponsoring. As an alternative to the exclusive support provided by one individual sponsor, co-sponsoring with one or two partners is also a possibility. The benefits provided by the museum differ according to the scope of the sponsoring commitment. The Kunsthaus offers the sponsor an ideal communication platform: exclusive events tailored to the needs of a specific target group in the museum or Villa Tobler, together with a package of advertising and PR activities. Successful sponsoring increases the attractiveness of the museum for the public and thereby also the chances of receiving public funds, as additional money is available to achieve a higher profile on the national and international stage; and this enables the Kunsthaus to make a major contribution to the promotion of Zurich as an attractive business location.
Sponsorship does not give benefactors any influence over the content of the exhibition project, but instead offers the chance to determine the goals, target groups and communication measures in partnership with the Kunsthaus. Therefore: Cash is King, Art is Queen – welcome to the "Club of Royals"!

Please help with my work
Debate and discussion of any biological questions not pertaining to a particular topic.
Moderator: BioTeam
7 posts • Page 1 of 1
Please help with my work
Hi everyone,
I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me with these questions. I've only just took up Biology so it's all a but daunting at the moment. Thanks in advance for any help.
1)Why is fat used for long term energy storage, especially in animals?
Ans; maybe cos they insulate and form membranes?
2 A) Describe how you would test for milk for the presence of fat?
B) What observation indicates a positive result?
Ans; Would this be putting milk on brown paper, then on radiator and if it presents
A perm stain it contains fat.
3) Water is a (good absorber of energy) which helps it to maintain a ( stable temperature). This affects entire ( organisms) and ( metabolic reactions)
3a Explain the words in the brackets.
Ans; good absorber of energy - it is slow to heat up and slow to cool down.
Stable temperature -the high water content of organisms helps to keep their temperature stable
Organisms - living things
Metabolic reactions - the sum of all chemical reactions in an organism.
3b in what way are 'entire organisms' and ' metabolic reactions ' affected by water being a good absorber of energy?
Ans; Not sure on this one.
4. Say whether the following statements are true or false. In the case of a false statement, give a reason why it is false.
a) Carbohydrates contain hydrogen and oxygen in the same ratio as water ( H20).
b) Amino acids do not contain nitrogen
c) Fish is a good source of protein and lipid,but not carbohydrate.
d) Keratin is a protein found in egg white
e) Amino acids are required to make fatty acids
f) The biuret test indicates the presence of proteins
g) Chewing food is an example of anabolism
A) False in carbohydrate there is always twice as much hydrogen as oxygen
B)f they contain nitrogen
D) True
E) True
5. Name two minerals required by the human body
Ans; Water and Sodium
In the case of these minerals state it's function in the body.
Ans; Water- good absorber of heat in the body
Sodium- they play a role in forming cell and body fluids - tears , saliva and the liquid part of blood all contain sodium.
These are terrible questions - whoever wrote them hasn't thought them through.
There are a bunch of possible answers to the first one, but yours isn't.
The second one looks fine.
The third one - that property of water affects aquatic ecosystems, but in anything but very large organisms, it's pretty irrelevant.
4 - a only applies to simple carbs, but who knows what they're looking for?
b is right, c you can look up, d you need to double-check, e depends on how bizarrely you interpret the question, but could be true or false, f you've got, and g you can look up
5 - make sure you know what a mineral is, and you've given locations for sodium but not a function.
Re: Please help with my work
Thanks a million for your help. Have attempting a few more and the incorrect ones.
1. fats contain more energy than carbohydrates do, because fat molecules are chemically much more reduced
4c False if carbohydrate supply is very low, the body will automatically use your proteins as an energy source.
4d. False found in membrane not yolk
4g False an example of anabolism is the formation of muscle proteins from amino acids.
5 Sodium and Calcium
Calcium- needed to maintain strong and healthy bones and teeth. It is also involved in normal blood clotting, muscle and nerve function.
Sodium - Helps to maintain muscles and nerves in good working order and works together with potassium, regulating the fluids in the body.
1. you second answer is correct (plus they are hydrophobic)
3. a high heat capacity; doesn't change much;
b on the microscale the water may buffer changes in temperature due to exo-/endothermic reactions
a as long as we are not talking about some aminosugars, it's true
b definitely not true! Why? That's like saying Car does not have wheels. If not, why?
c I guess yes (you're not answering that at all)
d F Why? Because it's not expressed there. (but it's not in membrane either )
e sure, the amino acids are required to build proteins which catalyze the biosynthesis of fatty acids
Cis or trans? That's what matters.

Robert Glenn Hedman, Hayward, WI/formerly Hayward, WI (1928-2014)
April 9, 1928 - April 21, 2014
Robert Hedman, age 86, passed away peacefully at home on April 21, 2014. Bob was born April 9, 1928, in Prentice, WI, the son of Ed and Mae (Garlock) Hedman. He was a graduate of Necedah (Wisconsin) High School and the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. Bob was a teacher for thirty-six years before retiring in 1988. He served as principal of Town View Grade School in Beloit, WI, for several years. He, then, went to Janesville Parker High School in Janesville, WI, where he was a Special Education teacher for twenty-five years. He was also employed during the summer months as a supervisor for Libby Canning Company in Janesville. He worked for Libby's for thirty-one years. Bob was a veteran, serving in the Army in Panama from 1946 to 1948. Bob was a retired member of the Wisconsin Education Association and the National Education Association.
