It's nice Ryan Grant got a standing ovation. I seem to remember that the Detroit Lions could have used a veteran running back earlier this season (or maybe even now). Hopefully, Grant can remind Detroit that they did not want him come Sunday and play with a little attitude every time his number is called...
Thompson's gamble of cutting Green again pays off; if Thompson had decided to keep Green, yes, Benson probably wouldn't have been signed; but now, Grant comes in with fresh legs at a critical part of the season, and Alex Green has enough reps where the Packers feel they can go with Green as their number 1 back. Also, given his age and his history of injuries, chances are Grant would have probably gone down with an injury as well by now if he started the year with the Packers, and who would Thompson have to bring in at this point who is familiar with the Packers' system.
So, by signing Benson, if Grant performs well these last 4 games, Thompson will again look like a genius!Hide replies
Another one of those ridiculous postings that causes me to log on so I can thumbs down. Grant would have probably gone down with an injury ??? Seriously? Go drink out of you half empty glass.
Are you talking about Green or Grant? Green was never cut. Grant was originally. Proof read your post again.
So a day after it is revealed that the injury prone running back is injured, comes the news that the injury prone defensive lineman may be injured.Hide replies
newsflash - nfl players get injured. lots of em. even those without injury histories.
My guess is Grant was cut becasue of a combination of salary and ball security. MM hates fumbles worse than diet shakes, and TT hates to pay when the actuarial model says the player has peaked and goin down, especially at RBHide replies
He wasn't cut, his contract was up.
I too will give Ryan a standing ovation while in the stands on Sunday eve. I have always like Grant.
Really lucky to have him available but wondering a bit why he is. Maybe he has slowed appreciably. Anyone hear of possible issues other than being a 29 year old NFL RB?
But as Pman in SD researcedh and reported in another article, Grant has his best avg per carry in the coldest weather. That is a very interesting stat.Hide replies
But as Pman in SD "researched"....dang, can't proof read.
Heard news in Washington that they neaded a RB who could also play special teams - I think he's still got some juice but at his age it probably came down to how well he could fit the specific role teams needed to fill, since he obviously doesn't have much upside left - but I'm actually glad to see him back, great guy, great attitude, great Packer.
MM said Jordy is close, but Tom did not list his status in the injury report. What is his status? Really need him on the field vs the kitties d line for the quick, short passing game.
We just cannot kick this injury bug. We might have Woodson and Shields back, but now Mike Neal might have a serious injury. And CJ Wilson is still hurt.Hide replies
We may have to find a street FA at DE if this keeps up.
nevermind RB
Mike Neal and James Starks just both seem injury prone, hard to really rely on players who are in and out of the lineup. Didn't hear about Neal until today.
Grant might be a little slower but at this time of year, it might not matter so much. Just hit the hole and get 4-5 yards. His body should be fresh.Hide replies
He wont be in football shape either,but, if he stays healthy,he will get there in a few games.
IF Grant can average close to 4 per carry and can pile up 350-300 yards over the last 3 games or so,and a good playoff performences,i do wonder if TT would try to resign him for next year.hes over 30,so that was a no no but if he can give us production.
If Grant did resign,would that mean Benson is done in GB?
would you release Starks? hes young,but,in his 3 years,he hasnt exactly been healthy
Of course if Grant isnt productive, my whole thing is moot,,it might be anyway

This blog reviews automotive history books and showcases the best of more than 1,000 published articles on collectable cars--complete with rare images and hard-to-find Canadian statistics--all by noted automotive historian James C. Mays.
I had a Bellett and remember starting it with a hand crank, but haven't seen any mention of this. It was surprisingly easy to start this way in cold weather, or if the battery was weak.
One of my adult education students had worked at the Isuzu-Toyota plant in Point Edward, Nova Scotia. She was a psychiatric patient in the mental hospital and was paid 35c an hour to install radios in Bellets and Toyota Canadians.
I was in the military in Japan in 68-70, and drove a 66 Bellet Deluxe, White with red interior, tough as nails, and peppy too. I wish that I could find one here in the U.S. today, I'd own it!
I drove a 4 door here in Australia for 15 years,a quality product back in 1964,nothing to equal them,still have a gt coupe sitting in the corner of the garage this was only on the road for about three years,stored 5 years before i got it,sold,registered,i bought it.when rego ran out 1975 was stored in the corner,we had the 4 door at the time,i had a company vehicle..norm
hi norm, is the gt for sale?? i just bought a one owner sedan gt motor etc. would love to see photos of yours...cheers dave
you'd be disappointed,i think it may have been rallied for the first years of its life,windscreen very fine stone marked,they tried polishing it,no good dangerous when wet,front apron also stone marked,LH rail some rust,battery must have been left in it.paint only fair,brakes were done in 1974'standing in the corner since 1975 brakes need doing again,i used the tyres,rh tie rod end,have a selection of new parts,tie rod end,windscreen,steering boots, wheel cyl,plus sh parts bought a damaged car in 1975 wrecked it out,original motor was removed 1975 to do welsh plug behind flywheel,hasn't been put back in,nor turned over
since 1996..........norm
hi norm thanks for your reply can you email me re the car regards dave email@example.com
hi again norm just wondered if you received the other email its time for the car to be reintroduced in to the australian market ....im the one to love it and fix it i live in qld ..the car will be nice and warm ...im currently undergoing my miracle bellett i wanted a blue one ..i asked and it came cheers dave
hi norm ...still waiting ....love to see your gt .....i love em ...have plenty of time to love it again cheers dave
Hello friends,
This is indeed a fantastic resource. Thank you for making this publicly available.

Miami Herald Blog
A new Miami-Dade business run by a local elected official brands itself as "upscale" and "discreet," features co-ed showers and advertises young women in seductive poses wearing very little. The strategy behind Flirts: updating what co-owner Geraldo Rodriguez calls a dated image of "swingers clubs."
"It's an open-minded, lifestyle nightclub,'' said Rodriguez, who won elected seats on both Miami-Dade's Republican Executive Committee and the county's zoning board in Westchester. "We don't want to say it's a swingers club. That's not what we are. That's back in the '80s."
Men wanting to join Flirts pay about $150 for a 60-day membership. For women, it's about $20, Rodriguez said. It costs between $45 and $85 at the door, as well, though the 15 private rooms (equipped with a queen-sized bed, nightstand, wastebasket and hand sanitizer) are free.
The No. 4 rule at the Flirts club is "NO JOKING ABOUT PROSTITUTION," according to a document received by the Herald and confirmed by Rodriguez. Flirts won't be for prudes. The rules note: "You agree that you are not offended by nudity, adult themes or sexual situations/activities."
Nelson Diaz, chairman of the Republican Party in Miami-Dade, emailed Friday to say Rodriguez was dropped from the membership roster of the local Executive Committee sometime after the spring of 2013. "I have no recollection of this person ever volunteering or being involved in the Miami Dade GOP or any Republican campaigns," Diaz wrote. Rodriguez "was removed from the REC for failure to attend any meetings, so I don't think it would even be accurate to refer to him as a 'GOP activist.'"
Rodriguez confirmed he has not been to the executive committee's meetings, and that he is "probably not" a member anymore. Election records on file with Miami-Dade show he was elected unopposed to represent District 24 in August 2012.
Flirts, to be housed in a former shoe warehouse in the 8800 block of Southwest 132nd Street, faces some regulatory hurdles before it can open. County records show Miami-Dade inspectors ordered the renovation shut down in February, since Flirt hadn't obtained a permit for the work. An electronic notation from Friday said "work continued" after the shut-down order, and showed a $500 fine issued for the property.
Rodriguez, a partner in the business opening Flirts, said a building permit has been filed and that he expects a July opening. And while his business faces sanctions from the county's zoning arm at the same time he sits on a zoning board, Rodriguez said there's no overlap between his roles as business owner and volunteer office holder. Flirts sits in the Kendall zoning district, outside of the territory governed by the Westchester panel that includes Rodriguez....

World notes: Sept. 13, 2008
Cuba: No one died with Gustav Haiti: U.S. bullies the down-and-out Spain: Gov't to ease abortion laws Pakistan: U.S. troops invade Cyprus: New talks for reunification
Cuba devastated by Ike, but Cubans show grit
HAVANA – (Sept. 10) Cuba has been, and continues to be, devastated by Hurricane Ike.
U.S. communists urge solidarity with people of Caribbean
The Communist Party USA notes with alarm the heavy loss of life and massive property and economic damage inflicted by three powerful hurricanes in succession – Gustav, Hanna and now Ike – on all the nations of the Caribbean, including Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica and Cuba.
Cuba: in the eye of Ike
HAVANA -- All day we've been increasingly getting the 'hurricane sky." That's when the sky gets full of darkening clouds that appear as if you're looking at the bottom of a huge drum top, and they move in an immense counterclockwise circle. We've also been getting increasingly stronger wind gusts although nothing really serious yet. And it's started to rain more stop start stop start but with the feeling that it'll eventually not stop until Ike passes north of Cuba.
No one died! Cuba and hurricane solidarity
The most destructive hurricane in 50 years hit western Cuba Aug. 30 with gusts up to 212 mph — the strongest ever recorded during any hurricane anywhere, according to head meteorologist Jose Rubiera.
Cuba: Weathering the storms, from Gustav to Ike
A little report on the TV just updated the situation in Guantanamo. The entire province is without electricity. Cuba has a policy of turning off electricity and gas, as a preventive measure to prevent short circuits and even fires in walls, once sustained winds reach 60 kph.
Colombia scapegoats left opposition
Peace in Colombia, seen as humanitarian exchanges of prisoners and negotiations with guerrilla insurgents, took a hit recently with the government revving up a smear campaign against leftists. With approval ratings allegedly approaching 91 percent, President Alvaro Uribe is preparing for a second unconstitutional reelection bid.
Afghanistan: Protests grow over civilian deaths
New protests erupted in Afghanistan this week as the number of civilians dying during U.S. and NATO attacks on insurgents continues to soar.
World Notes: September 6
Gaza: Aid, solidarity arrive by sea Switzerland: Inequities kill India: Children die in drug trials Honduras: Joins ALBA, defying Washington Canada: Big gains for union women Cuba: Social security changes
Washington's echo in Iran
As Iran struggles to win the confidence of the West to head off a military attack, the ordinary people of the country struggle daily with rising prices and growing unemployment.

Rapid, Non-Invasive Radiation Bio-Dosimeter
Award Information
Small Business Information
1 Horizon Road, Suite 1415, Fort Lee, NJ, 07024

Research Institution:
AbstractThe objective of this proposal is to develop a non-invasive radiation bio-dosimeter by employing a mobile breathalyzer to measure biomarkers of oxidative stress in the breath. The rationale for this research is that gamma radiation causes tissue injury, resulting in increased electron leak of reactive oxygen species from mitochondria to cytoplasm and increased lipid peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids. This results in increased production of alkanes and methylated alkanes, which may lead to detectable changes in the composition of the breath as well as in cytokines in exhaled breath condensate. A completely safe, painless and non-invasive breath test could potentially provide a bio-dosimeter of exposure to radiation. In Phase I, this research will attempt to establish proof of principle by performing breath tests in human volunteers with cancer before and after radiotherapy. Breath samples will be collected with a breath collection apparatus, and then analyzed with gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy. If this pilot study demonstrates a significant increase in radiation-induced oxidative stress, a larger Phase II study will be performed with a field-portable breath test as a bio-dosimeter of exposure to radiation.

Egyptian Credit Risk Falling to Lowest Since Protests
Egypt's credit risk is falling to the lowest level since anti-government protests began two weeks ago and international borrowing costs are dropping as the nation's biggest political crisis in three decades eases.
The cost of insuring Egyptian sovereign debt declined 6.5 basis points from yesterday's London close, to 338.5 as of 9:50 a.m., the lowest level since Jan. 25, according to CMA prices. The yield on Egypt's 5.75 percent bond due in April 2020 gained 11 basis points to 6.3 percent, down 89 basis points from a record high of 7.2 percent on Jan. 31, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
The government raised most of the 15 billion Egyptian pounds ($2.5 billion) sought at a debt auction yesterday as negotiations between opposition leaders and Vice President Omar Suleiman on constitutional changes needed to end the 30-year rule of President Hosni Mubarak made "big progress," Egyptian billionaire Naguib Sawiris, a participant in the talks, said on Bloomberg Television.
"The market has digested the fact that things have changed and that the end result currently does not look calamitous," said Oliver Bell, who helps oversee about $10 billion of emerging-market assets as a London-based senior investment manager at Pictet Asset Management. "It's not as bad as everyone thought when the violence erupted, but I don't think we can be certain that we know the outcome yet."
Yields Improve
Protests that began Jan. 25 in central Cairo have killed about 300 people, according to the United Nations. Demonstrations continued with thousands camping out in tents. The government vowed progress within a month toward free elections, a move aimed at persuading protesters to leave Tahrir Square.
The government carried out its first auction since Jan. 27 yesterday, selling a total 13 billion pounds of bills. Yields on the 91-day notes rose 147 basis points to 10.97 percent, the highest rate in two years. The yield is down from 14 percent in the aftermath of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.'s collapse in September 2008.
"It's an opportunity because the yields have improved and we are very liquid," National Bank of Egypt Chairman Tarek Amer said in a telephone interview yesterday from Cairo. The bank will continue to buy the government paper, he said.
The Egyptian pound fell 0.1 percent to 5.9600 against the U.S. dollar, the lowest since January 2005, after sinking 1.3 percent on Feb. 6. Local banks opened on Feb. 6 for the first time in more than a week.
The Ministry of Finance said the auction results underscored the strength of the local financial system.
Risk Premium
"Results of the auction show that the risk premium has abated," Samy Khallaf, adviser to the finance minister for public debt management, said in an e-mailed statement.
While the government raised most of what it sought, higher borrowing costs and a weakening currency are putting pressure on its efforts to reduce the budget deficit.
In an attempt to placate the protesters, Finance Minister Samir Radwan said on Feb. 5 that the government won't reduce subsidies even if global prices of food and commodities rise. Public spending will be used as a tool to "achieve social justice," he told a news conference in Cairo.
An increase in public spending may push the budget gap to "double digits" in 2011, compared with 8.1 percent in the fiscal year that ended in June, Standard & Poor's said last week after lowering the country's credit ratings by one level to two below investment grade. Fitch Ratings and Moody's Investors Service also cut Egypt's ratings.
Stock Exchange
Egypt's five-year credit default swaps jumped 24 basis points on Jan. 25 when protests started to 327.7 and climbed as high as 421.3 on Jan. 31, according to CMA prices.
The contracts, which increase as perceptions of credit quality deteriorate, pay the buyer face value in exchange for the underlying securities or the cash equivalent should a company or government fail to adhere to its debt agreements.
The stock market said yesterday that it will open on Feb. 13, two weeks after closing. The benchmark EGX 30 Index slumped 16 percent in the week ended Jan. 27, the last day the bourse was open.
"The chances that things will work out well rather than badly in Egypt are pretty good, so I would be a buyer rather than a seller of Egypt," Antoine van Agtmael, the chairman and chief investment officer at Emerging Markets Management LLC, said in a Bloomberg Television interview from Washington. Van Agtmael coined the term "emerging markets" in 1981.
'Reacting Positively'
London-listed global depositary receipts of Orascom Construction Industries, dropped 1.8 percent to $41.20 after surging 4 percent yesterday. The Cairo-based company said in a statement yesterday that it has resumed work on 90 percent of its sites in the Arab country. Orascom Telecom Holding SAE rose 0.3 percent to $3.30.
"Markets are reacting positively to the improvements in the security situation, the progress on the political dialogue, and recent central bank measures to ensure an orderly reopening of banks," Alia Moubayed, a London-based economist at Barclays Capital, said in an e-mail. "The challenge is how to avoid this reversal in sentiment should political volatility return, by keeping up the pace of reforms and clear communication with markets."

Taxi - the affordable way to go
Taxi's are very affordable in my opinion. The cost is 10 rmb and will get you just about anywhere in Lhasa. You do not have to tip your driver. They are not expecting anything. The ones I've used seem to be very knowledgeable on the area. They do not speak much English but they are familiar with tourist destinations. Where you may run into a problem is if you want to go to a specific restaurant. Just ask your hotel staff to write it out in Chinese.

Lhasa to Shigatse by train
There is a railway under construction that will connect to the Qinghai-Tibet Railway. This section will continue onto Shigatse. This would mean that if you do not plan on venturing outside of Shigatse, you will not have to drive from Lhasa. Cutting out those annoying checkpoints.
The construction is reported to be complete by October of 2013.

The train to Lhasa
Since 2007, you can travel to Lhasa by train. It is a long trip and takes 2-3 days one way. Some of the major cities that offer train service to Lhasa and time include:
Lhasa-Beijing: 47 hours 04 minutes; distance: 4064km
Lhasa-Chengdu: 45 hours 40 minutes; distance: 3360km
Lhasa-Chongqing: 46 hours 32 minutes; distance: 3654km
Lhasa-Shanghai: 48 hours 58 minutes; distance: 4373km
Lhasa-Guangzhou: 56 hours 10 minutes; distance: 4980km
Here is a website that has the schedule and cost for the train ticket from the various locations:

Pedi-cabs are a pretty common sight around Lhasa. They fit two adults but I have seen three fit in if the cyclist can handle it. Negotiation range depending on where you want to go. A lot has to do with construction going on. The typical ride just about anywhere is 20rmb. But a taxi is 10rmb. It is easier to catch a ride with a pedi-cab.
Just be careful and alert. there are no seat belts and driving or peddling around Lhasa is crazy. Its not unusual for a pedi-cab to ride on the wrong side of the road, ignore traffic lights and take short cuts across lanes of oncoming traffic.
- Adventure Travel
The Potala and Jokhang areas (and the short walk between these) can easily be covered on foot, but for other trips you can easily hire a taxi - there are lots of them and trips anywhere within the city will cost 10 RMB. It's easy to flag down a cab on the street, with the only competition for them we've seen worthy of the name was that by the Potala palace at night when all the photographers are setting off back to their hotels.
One good tip here is to have a card with the name of your destination in Chinese and Tibetan as otherwise you may struggle to make yourself understood by the taxi drivers (the hotel should be able to provide one - if not, just point to the place's name in your guidebook!).

Tours to Lhasa
The following is from one of the Chengdu Hostel's web sites. I think this web site posting was in 2009 so it may or may not still be correct. Also, I don't think a tour will lock you in your room and I think you may skip out of the tour. However, they may help you as it provides transportation and hopefully, not too many people in the group. The Barkor area is interesting and I would think you could walk around on your own as long as you know where your hotel is.
I was not in a group and had a newer hotel an easy walk to the Barkor. Many of the Chinese hotels used for tours were in the western part of Lhasa away from the Barkor. Many of the hostels are in the eastern part of Lhasa but are not as good as the hostels in Chengdu and other parts of China. They were building new hotels in the eastern part so it may be better now.
BTW, most hostels in China have private rooms with private bath in additional to the dorms. I find most private hostel rooms very comfortable for my needs.
The following is a quote from web site:
"It had been possible to travel in Tibet independently for many years until the riot occurred on 14th of March in 2008. Actually it was still illegal during those "open" years, only because the tourism greatly boosts the regional economy, the local authority didn't strictly enforce the rules for foreign travelers, and so do the travel agencies who even issued the "false itinerary permit" to foreign travelers as the permit was not seriously checked.
Since the situation changed from last year, the regional stability has become the top concern for central government, all the rules start enforced again in TAR. At moment, all the foreign nationals have to travel in Tibet with the fixed itinerary and a guide accompanied, this makes the travel not as flexible as in the past."

From airporto to Lhasa
The airport is small, but a little far away from the city. The bags came fast and soon. We went in a jeep, with banks lined with carpet and lace. It wasn´t expensive to go in a particular jeep. Distance makes worth the money spent. Most of the forgein persons in that day have a jeep waiting for them.
The road to Lhasa is relatively good, with mountains around, some houses along the road and waterways. At one point we passed a tunnel through the earth. Someone told me that, before the road around the mountains took five hours! Come up many fruit vendors on the roadside, dusty jeeps and many colorful flags. It seems to be an ancient tradition, which use flags of five colors: blue represents the sky, white clouds, green water, the earth yellow and red fire.
Getting There-Lhasa
Any way you choose to get to Lhasa, you need this permit! You're not allowed outside the Lhasa area, especially during "special times" without the other permit, but this one allows you to be in Lhasa. Contact a travel agent who can get you this before you go to China! You need time!
I don't recommend the use of a certain Mr. Chen at the Camellia Hotel in Kunming. As he took our cash he promised we'd have no problems. He wasn't honest with us. Had he told us there was a chance that the government was going to delay or possibly cancel our trip to Everest Base Camp, we would have gone anyway, knowingly taking the chance. We lost a few days of our trip to the basecamp, but the biggest problem is that he didn't warn us it was a possibility and, in fact, when we asked about any problems, told us to trust him and that he knew what he was doing. Don't trust him (or any of these guys). Know that the PSB in Tibet is pretty, well... problematic.
Getting There-Everest Base Camp
If you want to get to Everest Base Camp, you need this permit with all the stamps. If you're a group, you'll have the second page as well. I blanked out our info, but names on the first line and passport numbers on the other. You can't really get out of the Lhasa area without these, especially during what they call, "special times." If you are caught without one of these, you could get in Big Trouble, which isn't good in China. Contact a travel agency before going to China, but remember not to say anything about Tibet when applying for the China visa!
TWO images.
Flying to Lhasa
Now up until recently you could either fly or take an excruciatingly long-bus journey to get to Lhasa. I chose to fly. Well Lhasa Airport has no radar system & no runway lights so flights occur only in daylight hours. But...without any radar guidance the approach being in a bowl shaped plateau surrounded by jagged peaks is tricky at best. Add the slightest cloud formation and the lightest drizzle and nothing leaves the airport tarmac. As a result ALL flights to and from were cancelled for 1day ( and ocassionally 2-3days!) beacuse of 'bad' weather.....Not that i would want the pilot to risk the take-off but maybe they could let us know rather than keeping the passengers waiting hour after hour. The chinese people I found out are NOT afraid in these instances to demand a refund and service, and were very vocal. Quite amusing but they did help me as well get a free flight! SOOOO on that note use the train if you are headed up to Urumqi for Kashgar...it seems the best option. Though I havent used that route, travelling on other overnite trains in China was a very comfy affair.. in first class. Check it out & let me know
Air China to Lhasa
I flew with Air China into Lhasa from Chengdu, a city in the western province of Sichuan. For most people, you'll need to get an illusive permit*, which can be arranged at the local guesthouses in Chengdu. I said illusive coz I never saw the permit. The flight was early in the morning, and the guesthouse had arranged transportation, which was included in the price of the ticket and permit. There is no other way to get to the airport this early, except for taxi.
The two hours flight was very smooth, and passed by numerous barren mountains, with the occational villages and green farms along the rivers.
You can't get discounts for this trip, which is about 1600RMB one way. [July 2005 price]
*May 2007 Update: I read that there is in fact a real permit. When I was there in 2005, none of the travelers that I met had one.
You gotta take the train
The new train to Lhasa from China is a must. The train is new and clean, (although as it's Chinese that may not be the case for long !). It has good facilities including free oxygen for each bed in the sleeper carriages.
But the best thing about the train is the amazing scenery you'll pass through on the way to Lhasa. The snow covered mountains, lakes, locals waving at the train and their settlements are a true highlight to any trip to Tibet.
It takes just 48 hours from Cheng Du and is very comfortable.

Shigatse to Lhasa
We had been so so lucky during the whole week holiday and hadn't encountered any rain when we had been visiting places. We had had some rain one night but we were already back in the hotel by that point. So on our penultimate day on the road from Shigatse to Lhasa we managed to see mountains with clouds hanging over them and I really thought it was a spectacular sight.
Holy S**t!!!
One of my VT friends kindly asked me if I could take a photo of this for her...so i hunted high and low and on the way to Tsetang from Lhasa I managed to find this one...hope it is holy enough for her!!!Hee hee!

Venezuelan president floats the possibility of Obama assassination.
This past Sunday, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez broadcasted a series of anti-Obama comments over his "Alo Presidente!" show, at one point even toying with the possibility that President Obama might be assassinated. The Hill quotes Chavez:
On the "imperial" U.S. forces that Chavez thinks killed JFK: "I hope they do not kill Obama, because Obama is biting off more than he can chew."
Chavez also demanded that Obama "stop dithering" on the military takeover of Honduras. Obama, however, has strongly condemned the Honduran coup and "diffused" Chavez' charges. Earlier this year, Chavez called Obama a "poor ignoramus" who has the "same stench as Bush." Obama, however, has vowed to turn a new page in hemispheric relations and it seems that, for the most part, Latin American leaders and their constituents believe him.

How does the body know how old it is? Introducing the epigenetic clock hypothesis

Animals and plants have biological clocks that help to regulate circadian cycles, seasonal rhythms, growth, development, and sexual maturity. It is reasonable to suspect that the timing of senescence is also influenced by one or more biological clocks. Evolutionary reasoning first articulated by G. Williams suggests that multiple, redundant clocks might influence organismal aging. Some aging clocks that have been proposed include the suprachiasmatic nucleus, the hypothalamus, involution of the thymus, and cellular senescence. Cellular senescence, mediated by telomere attrition, is in a class by itself, having recently been validated as a primary regulator of aging. Gene expression is known to change in characteristic ways with age, and in particular DNA methylation changes in age-related ways. Herein, I propose a new candidate for an aging clock, based on epigenetics and the state of chromosome methylation, particularly in stem cells. If validated, this mechanism would present a challenging target for medical intervention.

Display caption
This painting is one of a series of eight works, each entitled 'Written Activity'. The series was begun in 1963, the date which Smith has said marked his dramatic break from the traditional style of his earlier work towards paintings that appear like lists or inventories. In 'Written Activity No. 7' the marks resemble hieroglyphs or ancient manuscripts, with spaces that imply pauses in sentence making, although the vocabulary cannot be deciphered. The artist often began with a sentence from a book or newspaper and would 'invent a form for each sound.' On completion of the series of paintings the artist wrote 'I seem now to be able to build up a visual written language that can deal with any experience or sensation.'

Dunedin businessman
Paul Nicholson has until 5pm today to pay the $10.8 million
balance of an Otago subdivision purchase - or face losing
investors' $1.2 million deposit.
A spokesman for Mr Nicholson is confident the deal will be
clinched by the deadline, saying "intense negotiations" with
the subdivision's receivers were still under way to finalise
the "loose ends in what is a complex land deal".
Mr Nicholson, and his new private property investment company
Bendemeer Trustees Ltd, is already more than three weeks
overdue paying for the 24-section subdivision near Lake
Hayes; but contractually the delay is allowed.
PricewaterhouseCoopers receiver Malcolm Hollis confirmed late
on Friday Mr Nicholson has until the close of business today
to settle the outstanding $10.8 million, or his $1.2 million
non-refundable deposit paid in May will "certainly be
Mr Nicholson's last private investment company, Hurricane
House, was placed in liquidation in February 2009 owing about
25 investors $4.2 million.
While having invested successfully in commercial property for
several years, Mr Nicholson then lent about $4.5 million,
unsecured, to a Christchurch Finance company which later
collapsed itself, owing about $17 million.
Mr Nicholson subsequently started Bendemeer Trustees Ltd last
April and attempted to raise money from investors to buy the
24-section Bendemeer subdivision near Lake Hayes for $12
million from the receivers.
Mr Hollis added that the receivers had a "back-up position";
in that another buyer was waiting in the wings should Mr
Nicholson fail to settle.
Mr Nicholson has in recent weeks declined to be interviewed,
and instead nominated investor Brian Donovan, of
Christchurch, to speak on his behalf.
When contacted late on Friday, Mr Donovan said Mr Nicholson
was "too busy" to called, but said the Bendemeer deal was "a
happening thing"... but "I can't say that its crossed the
[finish] line".

Re: Greatest Middleweight once and for all- Greb? Monzon? Hagler?
In fantasy fights there is no sure way we can ever know who would beat who, but I still maintain that what Harry Greb accomplished in a 300 fight career,ABLE to whip LHs as well as Hwts, such as Gene Tunney, Tommy Gibbons, Jack Dillon, Tommy Loughran,Billy Miske, Kid Norfolk, Gunboat Smith, Maxie Rosenbloom,Bill Brennan,[ 4 times without losing nary a round],also beating MWs Mike Gibbons, Tiger Flowers, Southpaws Johnny Wilson, Tiger Flowers, and the truly great Toy Bulldog Mickey Walker, maybe his greatest feat in 1925, when Greb with about 290 bouts, creaking with overuse and having to lose pounds , ran around Central Park TWICE in a steamy July sun, the same afternoon with only orange punch to sip, came into the ring at 158.05 and gave the prime Walker a lacing, finishing the 15th round stronger than Harry started the bout...With all this heroics on his record, which MW
can be rated above him truly ? Oh yes and for the last 5 years or so fighting with but ONE eye...Greb #1...

I drink Monster Rehab. like 6g of sugar per can, LOW LOW caffeine, but buttloads of taurine, ginseng and everything else that perks you up.

You guys are light weights. I used to inject coffee directly into my veins. Now I smoke it. I'm looking for some 6 or 7 hour energy drink. The 5 hour ain't cut'in it for me.
"Confidence is food for the wise man but liquor for the fool"
My energy drink is coffee, black no sugar.
Remember, Water is Essential for Life, for without water, you cannot make COFFEE
A real man loves his wife, and places his family as the most important thing in life. Nothing has brought me more peace and content in life than simply being a good husband and father.
I drink about 2 -3 pots of coffee a day... it has antioxidants... it has been proven to help with mental acuity, smokers who drink coffee are less likely to get (but not immune from) cancer.
Oh yes and, I'm certain I was declared dead after a motorcycle accident in 1986... but I've fooled 'em all... I'm still ambulatory... keeps 'em guessing... but at night, I sleep as though dead... even after a cup o' joe just before bed time...
It could be worse!
I suppose
Yea coffee is the goal. Way cheaper, however its diet Pepsi for now since its hot as heck this summer in Wisconsin.

First, why is there a 'Website' field? Is there a way to shut this off?
Second, the field is filled with the original site URL, but has not switched when I dropped the /wordpress from the URL. Either it has outdated data, or it is getting the info from the WordPress Address (URL) field instead of the Site Address (URL) field in WordPress. In either case, if I can't remove the field, can I at least fix this?
Third, there is a Comments field which is used both for submitting info through PayPal, and for posting to the donor wall. Sometimes people want different information for these. Can they be separated? I have several projects that receive donations and I'd like the person to be able to specify which project, but also write a custom line for the donor wall (such as 'Donated in memory of....' or something like that.
In fact, I'd prefer that the user be able to select a project from a required dropdown menu instead of writing a comment to keep things simple. With that it would even be nice to be able to change the default donation for each project, or be able to specify a minimum donation for certain projects, etc.

Penthouse Offers to Buy Playboy
Posted on Jul 16, 2010
Is it media concentration if no one reads the articles? The owner of Penthouse magazine has offered to buy rival Playboy for $210 million in a move that would bring two of the largest men's magazines under the same ownership umbrella.
For those who care, Hugh Hefner, the smoking-jacket-robed, Viagra-popping founder of Playboy, would retain editorial control of the magazine and continue to frolic at the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles. —JCL

Having a second head? Great, firepower of two for the price of one.
Additional, symmetrical wings? Superb, since those give additional flying speed.
Being a herbivorous dragon, though, when the parents are carnivors? REALLY bad, as the Dragonpeaks aren't known for their huge fields of corn and wheat and have enough problems to sustain the small population of originally herbivorous breeds.
Although the Dragonpeaks are vast and loaded with cliffs and steep precipices, just like most of the rest of the Rakath Mountains, finding a location where you can raise lots of dragons during the early years is a bit tricky, though. It should be a sparse area, well-enclosed by mountains so that the drakes can't
Ever so often, Thror III. visits the nurseries to make sure his subjects raise the offspring of their benefactors to the best of their knowledge. Not only does he need to make sure that his military strength doesn't decrease due to mistakes done in the childhood of the dragons. No, even though the adult ones didn't really care all that much for them before, now that the have someone raising their children, they have become A LOT more protective once their babies are deemed worthy to grow to adulthood. And, as the Drow learned the hard way, you don't want to make a dragon come after you because of such a reason.
So, today Thror, getting accompanied by his trusted general Mablung, travelled to a nursery that opened only recently, partly to make up for the ones lost in the fight against Victor:
Thror: "Say, Mablung, why was it again that you have brown, pointy ears?"
Mablung: "You know, Sire, there once was a Drow seeking refuge in the Fairy Forest. Seems like back then the elves weren't quite as hostile to their kin as they are today. And now, centuries later, here I am. But, my liege, I have told you this back when I fled from Avalonia and got accepted among your ranks, already."
Thror: "True, but it never gets old. Anyway, let us begin with the inspection, shall we? This is not the only nursery we are going to visit until the sun sets. Onwards, call the foreman!"
Mablung: "As you wish, my Lord."
Thor: "I see, everything is still fresh and in nice shape. And the drakes are having a feast today, it seems?"
Gold-Toothy: "Yes, me'Lord, w're ord'red ta feed a fatt pig an' a goat thus week. Tha pig went down a'right, but tha goat struggled a heckuva lot an' broke tha bar o' tha crane just a momen' 'go."
Thror: "Well done, now back to work with you. Get this goat down there! And I want this crane repaired before I leave!"
Grumpy Foreman: "It shall be done at once, my Lord."
Mablung: "If you allow, Sire, the Dreeders do not quite live up to the glorious and proud men they are supposed to be according to your tales. Rather, to me they look more like your average thug unworthy to carry arms."
Thror: "Like everything recently, they have been in decline, my good Mablung. See that foreman, he is a quiet man of work, unlike his two companions he is forced to live around."
Mablung: "This may well be the case, Sire, but that bumpling crook down there may set a false ideal into new recruits if he were to be seen."
Thror: "Nothing we cannot change immediately. Why else do you think no spy ever managed to escape our grasp? Definitely not because we have a lot of prisons. Rather, because the nurseries such as this one here serve just as good as executional grounds!"
Mablung: "No wonder I had never heard of your people outside from legends, if not even the best spies of the AAG could make it out alive. Truly, a marvellous idea, Sire."
Thor: "And as an aside, it also helps to make the drakes as ferocious on the battlefield as we want them."
Bumbling Drunkard: "Aaaaaaaaaah!!!" *crunch* *snap* *munch*
Thror: "Now that this matter is dealed with, we should move onwards to the next. And make haste, I do not want to have supper in the middle of the mountains!"
Mablung: "Yes, my Lord. I shall call for our steeds without delay."

Seize the possibilities at our Diversity Summit
Chancellor G.P. "Bud" Peterson
Today there is a new spirit and a new sense of possibility with the election of our nation's first African American president. For the first time in a presidential campaign, our nation had an open and frank conversation with itself about what it means to be a person of color in America. There was a real, but often difficult dialogue surrounding the candidacy of Barack Obama, but in the end that dialogue made us a better country and a better people.
Last spring we had our own conversations at CU, and like our nation, we have emerged better for it. Insensitive and racially charged satire in CU's Campus Press offended many at the university and well beyond. We faced a moment where many wanted us to choose between diversity and free speech. We rejected that false choice, embraced both values and indeed, embraced our moment of difficult dialogue.
Working together as a campus community, we took key steps to make our environment more inclusive and welcoming for all. The Campus Press itself embraced key reforms, divorcing itself from the curriculum of our journalism school, adopting a new name (The CU Independent), creating a diversity board that has engaged the Independent's editorial and reporting staff, and building bridges to the campus community with a new sensitivity and understanding.
The opportunity to renew our commitment to diversity occurs each year with CU-Boulder's annual Diversity Summit, which this year arrives Feb. 16-17 at the University Memorial Center. I strongly urge you to attend this important series of seminars, discussions, panels and presentations. It is one of the most important things we can do as a community.
In his inaugural address President Obama said something that hit home. He said, "Our patchwork heritage is a strength…. We are shaped by every language and culture drawn from every end of the Earth." As you walk around campus, have you noticed how many languages are spoken? Have you considered that in the last three years, we have had CU's two largest, most diverse and most academically qualified freshman classes ever? Our total enrollment of students of color now puts us sixth among our Big 12 peers. Measuring ourselves against our peers is simply one way to gauge progress.
Indeed, respect for diversity is a core value at our university that we realize every day in our plans, such as our Flagship 2030 Strategic Plan, and in our leadership when in 2007 we hired the first Vice-Chancellor for Diversity, Equity and Community Engagement in the university's history, Dr. Sallye McKee. Dr. McKee serves as part of the senior leadership team to help ensure that diversity permeates everything we do and is a consideration in every decision we make.
Dr. McKee and I organized the Chancellor's Diversity Advisory Board a year ago. This is an advisory board with members from across the state representing all facets of diverse communities that advises us in addition to our campus-based advisory committees. Dr. McKee is revitalizing the Center for Multicultural Affairs, retooling organizations that facilitate diversity on campus and investing them with new personnel and new purpose. And she is personally building bridges to off-campus communities, a true ambassador for CU.
Today we are making strides in enrollment, retention and graduation of underrepresented students. Eighty percent of our first-time minority freshmen returned for their sophomore year compared to 84 percent sophomore retention for the campus as a whole. Further, 14 percent of bachelor's degrees awarded in 2008 were to underrepresented students. Clearly we are doing something right.
But there is more to our goals than statistical improvement and there is much work yet to be done. We must continue to make our campus more welcoming, more tolerant of diverse people and diverse ideas, and more dedicated to inclusive excellence as a living, working value in all that we do.
With these needs in mind, I urge you to attend the 14th Diversity Summit on Feb. 16-17, where strategies to reach these and other diversity goals will be available to us all. If we can mirror what our nation has achieved this past year, just think about what we can achieve as a university.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) - Cocaine will be doled out on the
campus of Texas A&M University to try to get the subjects addicted.
The effort to get rats hooked is part of a five-year study on cocaine damage to brains.
Barry Setlow, a professor in A&M's Department of Psychology, recently received a $1.4 million federal grant.
The Bryan-College Station Eagle reported Thursday that Setlow hopes the research on rats will lead to a greater understanding of drug addiction, relapses and treatment.
Setlow secure the cocaine from the federal government, which he says buys it from a company that produces controlled substances for research.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop. The up arrow key on the keyboard has become loose and comes off often. How can I fix this? Do I need to buy a new keyboard or can I get a new up arrow key? The laptop's just gone out of warranty.
My friend's HP laptop's up arrow key also came out and when he went to the repair shop they told him to buy a new keyboard (around 5000 Rupee/100 USD).
If some small part of a laptop is broken/damaged, do I need to buy the complete set/the whole part? Why do I need to waste money?
Any suggestions?

US Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker (left) with AmCham Qatar Chairman Robert A Hager. Salim Matramkot
DOHA: The volume of US exports to Qatar totalled $4.95bn (QR18.02bn) in 2013, and the world's largest economy has posted a trade surplus of $2.6bn (QR9.47bn) with the Gulf state during the first eight months of the same year (January-August), said a press statement issued by the American Chamber of Commerce Qatar (AmCham Qatar) yesterday.
Since the launch of the US National Export Initiative in 2010, exports to Qatar have increased by 56 percent, establishing a new record and underscoring the growing importance of the Gulf as an American export market.
The trade figures were released on the backdrop of the visit of the US Secretary of Commerce, Penny Pritzker, who is leading a trade mission to expand Qatar-US trade ties and economic partnership.
"I am so pleased to be joined on this trade mission by 21 US firms that are eager to partner with government and industry in Qatar," said Pritzker during her address at the AmCham Qatar's special edition of 'Distinguished Speaker Series' hosted in partnership with the National US-Arab Chamber of Commerce (NUSACC).
Pritzker said: "The United States and our businesses truly value our strong commercial and economic ties with the Gulf region, and recognise that working together is a win-win. American companies have the expertise to help Qatar construct world-class infrastructure, and when US firms sell their goods and services to new markets, the American economy stands to gain. I hope this trade mission will lead to many more mutually-beneficial relationships between our two nations."
The Secretary discussed her Middle East trade mission with AmCham Qatar members, influential business leaders and members of the media. She also highlighted the growing commercial ties between Qatar and the US, and American efforts to boost exports to the region in the infrastructure sector, including project management and engineering; construction, architecture and design; and renewable energy and environmental technologies.
Later this month members of AmCham Qatar's Executive Committee and Board of Governors are expected to lead a delegation to Washington, DC to meet Congressional leaders and administration officials to discuss opportunities for American businesses in Qatar and Qatari investment in the US.
AmCham Qatar hosts a monthly Distinguished Speaker Series featuring thought leaders from institutions such as The Brookings Doha Center, Soufan Group, US Chamber of Commerce, Northwestern University, Patton Boggs LLP, Atkins and PwC.
Robert A Hager, Chairman AmCham Qatar, said: "On behalf of AmCham Qatar's 128 members, I extend our deepest gratitude to Secretary Pritzker for prioritizing Qatar and the Gulf and taking the time to connect with the vibrant and growing contingent of American businesses operating here."
