If you are a regular visitor to Honey Bee Sweets blog, you will know that Bee Bee loves making breads. Not only she has a wide number of bread recipes in her blog, there are also various methods used in her bread making. This is one of them, using some diary cream and some egg whites besides the normal bread ingredients. Oh, dont get me wrong, Bee Bee doesnt only make bread, she is good at handling almost everything! If you have not been to her blog, drop by! Back to the bread talk, there's no butter for this loaf of bread but i would like to call it an enriched bread due to the cream. It gives a rich flavour to the bread..kind of milky and creamy taste and i also believe that the cream together with the egg whites provides a good texture to the bread..The texture of the bread is soft and tender, just like what most asians like. See the texture for yourself. Perhaps the next time you have some whipping cream that you need to finish it off, why not try making this?
|i was admiring the texture so i cant help myself to take one closeup
Recipe: ( from Honey Bee Sweets, original source from here )
I made this in a 9"X5"x3" loaf pan, makes one loaf
Ingredients A
300gm bread flour
22gm egg whites
7gm instant yeast
90 gm fresh milk ( i used 100gm )
120ml diary cream
Ingredients B
all of the above pre dough/starter
20gm egg white
36gm caster sugar
3.6gm salt ( i used 1 tsp)
1/4 tsp instant yeast
1.Combine everything in set A and knead till everything is well combined and dough is slightly smooth. Not required to knead till elastic stage. Cover and let it proof for 2.5 hrs.
2.Punch out the air froe the prefermented dough and combine with the rest of the ingredients in Set B. Knead till window pane stage. ( i took 25 minutes to reach window pane stage with 2 minutes break in 1 time)
3.Cover and let rest for 30 minutes ( i rested mine for about 50 minutes ). Lightly knead the roll again and shape into one loaf and put it in a greased and floured loaf pan. Let it proof in the baking tin till almost 90% full.( i was busy meddling with some other things and my loaf had risen up reaching the rim of the loaf tin)
4.Bake in a preheated oven at 175C fan forced for 30 minutes. ( I baked mine at 200C without fan function for 30 minutes). Once done, remove from baking tin and let it cool in the rack.

It's a close race between NY and OAK.
T.Y. Hilton caught two passes for 17 yards and a touchdown in the Colts' third preseason game.
He's up to seven receptions for 114 yards and three touchdowns in the preseason. Hilton continues to work only in three- and four-receiver sets with the Colts' first-team offense, while Darrius Heyward-Bey remains the starter opposite Reggie Wayne. Hilton has played almost exclusively outside, rather than in the slot -- that's Wayne's position in the three-wide package. Hilton still offers some breakout potential, but his consistency could be a fairly large fantasy issue as a rotational wideout. The Colts are not using Hilton as an every-down player, and they're implementing far more two-tight end sets.
The Denver Post believes Ronnie Hillman is the "biggest mess," and the Broncos "cannot" go into the season with him as the starter.
For the second straight preseason game, Hillman lost a fumble that resulted in a touchdown for the opponent's defense. Beat writer Mike Kiszla thinks the Broncos could be forced to start Knowshon Moreno Week 1 for the simple reason that he can protect Peyton Manning and hold onto the football. Montee Ball was impressive in the dress rehearsal Saturday night, but his blitz pickup and pass-catching skills need work. Moreno needs to be owned in all formats.
DHB should be on someone's roster
Dallas had six turnovers against Arizona last week, and when Murray fumbled in the first-quarter, Cowboys coach Jason Garrett replaced his starting running back with Phillip Tanner for the rest of the first half. The Cowboys stressed ball security prior to Saturday's game, and even though Murray is an offensive leader, his status was not enough to avoid Garrett's punishment.
Murray, who has been injury plagued through his NFL career, was forced to play in the second half with the team's second teamers.
Moreno needs to be owned in all formats.

Ravens released TE Visanthe Shiancoe and waived OG Ramon Harewood.
Shiancoe signed with the Ravens late last month after Dennis Pitta went down with his hip injury. He had been working with the starters a bit, but Ed Dickson (hamstring) is close to returning and Dallas Clark's tank isn't as low as Shiancoe's

Planning a betta tank, a little help with tank size and compatibility.
I have an unused fluval spec aquarium, dimensions are 10.8"length by 8.7"width by 11.8"height. First is is this big enough for a betta? I know people commonly keep these in 1 gallon tanks and less, but I want to take proper care.
Second, is this a good stocking?
1 betta
2-6 Amano shrimp
1-3 nerite snails
And last, what's a beautiful type of betta that you reccomend? I've heard of "Blue Dragon" bettas, but I doubt they would be easy to obtain.
That's it, and thank you.
Not sure about what betta type, but i think dragon varieties are meaner than the others( so i read), if you want to do shrimp and bettas i would try red cherry shrimp, even if the betta snaps one day and kills off most of the shrimp, there should be some survivors and will repopulate the tank. Give them some moss and that would be even more trueKING OF THE GOLD BARBS RAWR!!!!
I wonder if i plant one of my tiger barbs would the demon seed grow to a full tree?
gotta love them bunnies!
I.R.S.: We've got what it takes to take what you've got!

Well, the whole reason for Amano shrimp is because they are bigger and take care of algea better than other shrimp.
There is no guarantee that a betta of any type won't snap and make meals of tankmates. I have had good luck with nerites and bettas personally, but my females will kill even them...my boys were fine with them.
I am not sure on the volume of that tank...it seems small and small tanks are hard to cycle. Also, the more fish you cram in there with a betta the more likely you are to have carnage. This is just an example (so understand I'm a betta psycho and overdo the care): In a 10 gallon tank, I have one giant betta and one nerite. The nerite does a fine job of cleaning up algae and the betta loves his space. I wonder if all those algae cleaners in a smaller tank would have enough to eat.
In an ideal world, bettas should be housed in at least two gallons, some people say five is the minimum. They really do need space. And unfortunately you can't predict what they are going to do with tankmates. Your tank sounds good for a shrimp tank, if not for a single betta.Beth
1 - 55 gallon planted community
3 - 10 to 20 gallon planted betta tanks
My advice: slow down, think, and be willing to learn. Then you'll be fine, no matter what.
Those measurements work out to a say 3.5 gal tank (see calculators on the sidebar) so its big enough for a betta. I personally wouldn't keep a betta in less than a ten - sure they are ok with less, but once you've seen a betta poking its nose around in every nook and cranny all over the tank, you realise they are more active than people give them credit for, if given the chance.
For species you will have to stick with smaller varieties for that size tank. But its not hard to pick, just stroll thu a lfs and you will fall in love with half the bettas there. I'm a C.T. fan, myself.
You should be able to keep a couple shrimp and a couple snails...but in that size tank, I wouldn't go more than that. Amanos can get quite large, I think more than 2 would be overkill.

Yes, it's about 3.5 gallons. Would this do?
1 betta
2 Amano
1 nerite
(or 2 nerite 1 Amano)
I dont think the betta will get too aggressive if I put some java moss and a small cave at the bottom just in case the shrimp need to hide. For shrimp feeding, I have plenty of Hikari shrimp food.
Any plants you reccomend for a betta? Java fern or... Something that a betta will appreciate.
Last edited by Loller; 06-28-2013 at 04:39 AM.
It might work. I keep a betta with a colony of cherry shrimp and rams horn snails in a 4 gallon planted nano. He is good with them but i also have other bettas that love to fight anything in their tanks. So just keep a close eye on them and dont get to attached to the shrimp or snails just in caseRoll the Dice!
Sorry, I'm a plant dunce. All I can say is that bettas like to rest on things...so they would likely appreciate anything they can wiggle into and set themselves down.
I think two nerites would be ok...but I would wait to add them til some algae shows up for them to eat.
Expectation for happy fish is 1 gallon per 1 inch of fish and I say if you have some bottom dwellers and side crawlers its almost like having upstairs and downstairs space. Sounds like you have 5 gallons and you want to put a 2"-3" beta (top swimmer), a small colony of shrimp, and a couple snails (all bottom dwellers) with your remaining 2-3 gallons. You should be good. Be careful of some types of snails as they can get enormous.
Guppies and corys are dainty fish you can put more of in one tank at 5 gallons. I think it would be nicer to look at.
I love the Shrimp. I have a small colony of Ghost Shrimp myself. They're so fun. They look like they're knitting sometimes lol. They help keep your tank cleaner.
I have always heard that about betas as well. I have two female halfmoon in a tank with a fancy goldfish, a dojo loach, a panda cory, a chinese catfish, and a small colony of Ghost shrimp. For some reason the betas dont harass any of the other fish much, though they do give each other a good romp across the tank sometimes.


text: Oh! Mama, how spiritless, how tame was Edward's manner in reading to us last night! I felt for my sister most severely. Yet she bore it with so much composure, she seemed scarcely to notice it. I could hardly keep my seat. To hear those beautiful lines which have frequently almost driven me wild, pronounced with such impenetrable calmness, such dreadful indifference!Soon however, Marianne meets a man who measures up to her ideal: Mr. Willoughby, a new neighbor. So swept away by passion is Marianne that her behavior begins to border on the scandalous. Then Willoughby abandons her; meanwhile, Elinor's growing affection for Edward suffers a check when he admits he is secretly engaged to a childhood sweetheart. How each of the sisters reacts to their romantic misfortunes, and the lessons they draw before coming finally to the requisite happy ending forms the heart of the novel. Though Marianne's disregard for social conventions and willingness to consider the world well-lost for love may appeal to modern readers, it is Elinor whom Austen herself most evidently admired; a truly happy marriage, she shows us, exists only where sense and sensibility meet and mix in proper measure. --Alix Wilber

•For years, many people have heard rumors about secret spaces beneath our feet on the Portland peninsula. Now the Portland Phoenix can reveal the truth about several of these. We have three categories: places I've been and seen myself; places that exist as confirmed by historical records or accounts of people I've spoken with; and places whose existence is third-hand at best (even if the details are startlingly specific) and must therefore remain somehow in question. This is obviously in addition to the tunnels, such as those related to liquor-smuggling during Prohibition or helping slaves escape to Canada, that once existed in Portland, but whose locations have been lost to time, development, or Commercial Street's construction.
"There are a lot of tunnels in Portland's history," says local historian Michelle Souliere. "The question is how many of those still exist in some form or another." If you have any information about any of these things, please send me an email at email@example.com and let me know!
The first place I've actually been is also the most commonly known, and least interesting: the TUNNEL UNDER CONGRESS STREET built in 1966 between the former Portland Press Herald building at 390 Congress Street and the paper's former printing plant across the street, next to City Hall. I've been in it, as have many Press Herald staffers over the years. It looks exactly like the hallways in your junior high school classroom, and is about as exciting. The tunnel allowed workers to go from one building to the other without going outside or dodging traffic; also, a conveyor belt carried heavy lead printing plates from the stereotype room in the main building to the printing plant across the street. As built, it was 154 feet long, 13 feet wide, and 10 feet high, according to a Press Herald report of its construction. "The tunnel, with its average five to seven feet of gravel, the concrete slab and the paving overhead, makes an ideal bomb shelter," says the report, now available on the Press Herald's website (see above). It will be sealed off, according to plans for renovating the main building into a hotel.
I have also been to the SPACE UNDERNEATH THE PORTLAND STAR MATCH BUILDING on West Commercial Street; formerly the bunkers for the sulfur and other chemicals used to make the matches (and you thought Waterville had the monopoly on making trees into tiny bits of wood!), the cellars are very tunnel-like, and have several caves with thick brick walls, and a climate that might be excellent for storing wine.
The old BOWLODROME BOWLING ALLEY underneath the Forest Avenue parking lot next to Portland Stage Company and behind the old Strand Theater building on Congress Street. Vin Veroneau, president of JB Brown and Company, a major downtown property owner, recalls bowling there as a child. Harold Pachios, one of the owners of the building, believes something is still there: "I understand that there's the remains of a bowling alley," though he was unsure what might be left after more than 50 years of disuse. (Gerv says the bowling alley is "real and quite beautiful.")

Corona, it works for just about any skin issues.
I use this on my hands (12 years of being in concrete can severely dry you out) this stuff healed 1/8 cracks in my thumbs in 3 days. I looked at the sight and it said they have not tested it on animals,but I would think that if regular human lotion is safe this would be also. IDK.
I use Bag Balm on my dogs paws in the winter, I also use it on my hands. I certainly wouldn't hesitate putting it on their noses. I can usually find it at a tractor supply and probably most grocery stores.
Cut 'em
Try Aquaphor. It comes in a white tube of 1.75 oz. My wife began using it when she used to work as a vet tech and will apply it to our Boxer's nose now and then when he shows the same symptoms. First learned about it as it is highly recommended by tattoo artists for keeping skin moisturized for new tattoos. It is safe, works fast, and will only require a small dab.

By defining a serial port with SoftwareSerial and sending the data
I've tried gobetwino, doesn't work with windows 7..Also, I saw a tutorial on youtube by Jeremy Blum about serial communication, and he did it using the language processor, and he said that you can interact with your computer from arduino using any programming language... Now, that being said it should be possible with Lua, so how can this be done with Lua?
What should be done on the Arduino team's part is to create a function that can interact with your computer (as simple as os.execute(), or system() (in C), instead of inefficiently having to do it through other programming languages.
"Lua can read the serial port, so one script is all you technically need."Do you know how this would be done? No need for code, just an explanation. Thanks.

Ellistown Breezes, August 10, 2012
Those yellow school buses are rolling again, telling us fall is near. What a joyful welcome after a terribly hot spring and summer. If you have been shopping lately you know school is about to begin because of the many, many people shopping for school clothes.
I had a wonderful 80th birthday last Thursday. My sister, Katie, and her two daughters, plus Patricia's husband, came from Arab and Decatur, Ala., and Fayetteville, Tenn., and spent the day with me. They brought barbeque for lunch, plus Patricia had made me a beautiful coconut cake and some of her homemade vegetable soup and peanut butter cookies. The vegetables in the soup were from her and Wayne's garden in Arab. I really wanted to cry because Patricia has been fighting multiple sclerosis for 30 years and she now has to move around with the help of a cane, but she is not about to stop fighting. Katie tells me she stays busy at something all the time and even sews baby quilts for one of the hospitals in Birmingham, Ala.
Katie gave me a new air-conditioner (both heater and cooler) and brought some of her yummy banana nut bread, hummingbird feeder and food, and the barbeque. She called yesterday and I was able to tell her the birds had already consumed half of the food. Isn't it nice to have a big sister to love you? Mother won this one. She always wanted us to grow up like sisters and I believe we have made it in our old age. Norma Faye brought a cedar bluebird house which she and Wayne placed on a tree in the yard. I see bluebirds occasionally and love to watch them, as well as other birds.
I also received calls from two of my dear friends, one from Cleveland, Ohio, and the other from Scottsdale, Ariz. I also received cards and calls from local friends and want them to know I appreciate everything they have done.
Buddy and Cindy called to wish me happy birthday and he has worked his back-side off trying to keep this old house running, and he and Patsy informed me they were paying off the last of the appliances that had to be replaced this year. Had I been born rich, I wouldn't have experienced half the blessing I have received lately. And, when God tells you he will take care of you, believe Him.
Patsy came down Saturday and she, Hugh, Cristie, Maggie, Merrill, and I had lunch at Cracker Barrel. Patsy bought lunch and also brought a bag of goodies for me. Merrill gave me a loaf of her delicious zucchini bread and it is delicious.
Patsy's family headed to Florida this Tuesday morning. They all love the sun and beach, and the shopping centers. Arkansas schools don't start until a couple of weeks after ours here in Union County.
I saw an old friend last week at the gas pump: Jimmy Little. We saw quite a lot of him when Bill and I were first married and I haven't seen him in a while. Since he saw me last my hair has gone gray, I have more wrinkles, there is more of me, and, don't you just love the expression on someone's face when they come face to face with reality. At first I thought he was going to get sick, then I though perhaps he was going to say he was sorry for the change. Just kidding, Jimmy. I am very aware of the difference and I have to face it every day. It was good to see you again.
Happy birthday to Brian Randle, whose birthday is Monday, August 13, and happy anniversary to Doug and JoAnn McCraw on Friday, August 17.
Remember I told you last week that our youth had gone on a trip to the Smokey Mountains? All was well until they started home and the church bus broke down twice. Sunday morning they told the congregation that another bus had gone after them and I am sure there will be some "Tall Tales Over Coffee" after that one. In our pastor's absence, Don McCutchen brought a wonderful message. It was good to meet him and his wife and have them with us.
Newly elected deacons are Larry Coker, Sid Priest, and Marty Roberts.
Sarah Grubbs visited with Lillian Bell last week and said Lillian is sharp as ever at 104 years old. Congratulations!

Blood stem cell transplantation may help cure cancers such as leukemia, Hodgkin's disease and other lymphomas. Blood stem cell transplants allow physicians to replace a patient's diseased or damaged marrow with healthy blood-forming cells. First, patients receive high doses of chemotherapy and/or radiation to destroy the cancer cells; however, along with the cancer, normal cells in the marrow are also destroyed. So chemotherapy and radiation are followed by an infusion into the bloodstream of healthy donor blood stem cells. The transplanted cells migrate into the spaces inside the bones to create new marrow, which contains cells — known as hematopoietic (blood) stem cells — that have the ability to grow and make healthy new red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets in a process known as engraftment. (Hematopoietic stem cells differ from embryonic stem cells, which are primitive cells derived from embryos.)
The body's ability to produce enough white blood cells to regenerate the immune system and prevent infections is vital for a successful transplantation. In the 1970s, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center investigator Malcolm A.S. Moore and his Center colleagues isolated granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), a naturally occurring protein that encourages bone marrow to produce more white blood cells. G-CSF is also used prior to stem cell collection to mobilize, or stimulate, stem cells to move from the marrow into the circulating blood, boosting the number available for transplantation.
To reduce the toxicity and increase the anticancer activity of high-dose radiation, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center scientists created a technique in 1978 called hyperfractionated total body irradiation, which allows patients to receive lower doses of radiation two or three times a day over several days prior to the transplantation, instead of receiving the entire high dose at one time.
Patients can receive a blood stem cell infusion in one of two ways: using their own stem cells or those from a donor. Autologous transplantation uses the patient's own marrow, which is removed from the patient's body and reinfused into the bloodstream. Allogeneic transplantation uses cells obtained from a donor — either a family member or an unrelated individual — whose tissue type closely matches that of the recipient.
When donor blood stem cells are transplanted into a patient to create new marrow and blood cells, there is a possibility of graft failure, in which donor cells may be rejected by the recipient. To prevent this complication, powerful immunosuppressive drugs, such as antithymocyte globulin, are given to the patient to ensure successful engraftment.
A major complication of allogeneic transplantation is graft-versus-host-disease (GvHD), in which some of the donor's immune cells, or T cells, attack cells in the recipient's body in areas such as the skin, liver, and gastrointestinal tract. There are two types of GvHD — acute GvHD, which occurs within the first months after transplantation, and chronic GvHD, which happens later and has some similarities with an autoimmune disease.
When GvHD was first characterized, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center researchers recognized that it was caused by T cells in the transplant. Reducing GvHD has been a major focus of the BMT Service. In 1981, the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center transplantation program developed and introduced a new approach called T cell depletion. T cells, which develop in the thymus, are selectively removed from donor blood stem cells prior to their infusion, significantly reducing the chance that these donor T cells will attack the patient's body, thereby preventing GvHD, even when donor and recipient are only half HLA-matched. Following the transplant, new T cells develop from the donor's blood stem cells, providing a new immune system for the patient.
Diseases Treated with Bone Marrow Transplants (by Type of Transplant)
Autologous Transplants
Samples of the patient's own bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cells can be removed, frozen, and stored to be returned after chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Diseases treated in this manner include:
Allogeneic Transplants
In allogeneic transplants, the patient's bone marrow is replaced with marrow from a donor who is either a family member or a matched, unrelated donor. Our doctors provide allogeneic transplants for a wide range of blood diseases, including:
Hematologic Malignancies (Cancers of the Blood)
- Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
- Acute Myelogenous Leukemia
- Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia
- Juvenile Myelomonocytic Leukemia
- Myelodysplastic Syndromes
- Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
Genetic Diseases
- Hemoglobinopathies: sickle cell disease, thalassemia
- Severe combined immune deficiency
- Fanconi's Anemia
- Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome
Other Blood Disorders
- Amegakaryocytic Thrombocytopenia
- Aplastic Anemia
- Diamond Blackfan Anemia
- Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis
- Kostmann Syndrome
Types of Transplants
The types of transplants include bone marrow, peripheral blood, and cord blood transplants using HLA-matched sibling donors, unrelated donors, and family mismatched donors.
- Bone Marrow
- Peripheral blood
- Cord blood transplants
Phases of a Transplant
Before Transplant
A successful transplant requires the patient be healthy enough to undergo the rigors of the transplant procedure. Age, general physical condition, the patient's diagnosis and the stage of the disease are all considered by the physician when determining whether a person should undergo a transplant.
Prior to a bone marrow transplant, a battery of tests is carried out to ensure the patient is physically capable of undergoing a transplant. Tests of the patient's heart, lung, kidney and other vital organ functions are also used to develop a patient "baseline" against which post-transplant tests can be compared to determine if any body functions have been impaired. The pre-transplant tests are usually done on an outpatient basis.
A successful bone marrow transplant requires an expert medical team — doctors, nurses, and other support staff — who are experienced in bone marrow transplants, can promptly recognize problems and emerging side effects, and know how to react swiftly and properly if problems do arise. A good bone marrow transplant program will also recognize the importance of providing patients and their families with emotional and psychological support before, during and after the transplant, and will make personal and other support systems readily available to families for this purpose.
Prior to conditioning, a small flexible tube called a catheter (sometimes called a "Hickman, Broviac" or central venous line) will be inserted into a large vein in the patient's chest just above the heart. This tube enables the medical staff to administer drugs and blood products to the patient painlessly, and to withdraw the hundreds of blood samples required during the course of treatment without inserting needles into the patient's arms or hands.
A patient admitted to the bone marrow transplant unit will first undergo several days of chemotherapy and/or radiation which destroys bone marrow and cancerous cells and makes room for the new bone marrow. This is called the conditioning or preparative regimen. The exact regimen of chemotherapy and/or radiation varies according to the disease being treated and the "protocol" or preferred treatment plan of the facility where the BMT is being performed.
The dosage of chemotherapy and/or radiation given to patients during conditioning is much stronger than dosages administered to patients with the same disease who are not undergoing a BMT. Patients may become weak, irritable and nauseous. Most BMT centers administer anti-nausea medications to minimize discomfort.
Donor or HLA Match
If bone marrow from a donor is used, the transplant is called an "allogeneic" BMT, or "syngeneic" BMT if the donor is an identical twin. In an allogeneic BMT, the new bone marrow infused into the patient must match the genetic makeup of the patient's own marrow as perfectly as possible. Special blood tests are conducted to determine whether or not the donor's bone marrow matches the patient's. If the donor's bone marrow is not a good match, it will perceive the patient's body as foreign material to be attacked and destroyed. This condition is known as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and can be life-threatening. Alternatively, the patient's immune system may destroy the new bone marrow. This is called graft rejection.
There is a 35 percent chance that a patient will have a sibling whose bone marrow is a perfect match. If the patient has no matched sibling, a donor may be located in one of the international bone marrow donor registries, or a mis-matched or autologous transplant may be considered.
In some cases, patients may be their own bone marrow donors. This is called an autologous BMT and is possible if the disease afflicting the bone marrow is in remission or if the condition being treated does not involve the bone marrow (e.g. breast cancer, ovarian cancer, Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and brain tumors). The bone marrow is extracted from the patient prior to transplant and may be "purged" to remove lingering malignant cells (if the disease has afflicted the bone marrow).
Bone Marrow Harvest
Regardless of whether the patient or a donor provides the bone marrow used in the transplant, the procedure used to collect the marrow — the bone marrow harvest — is the same. The bone marrow harvest takes place in a hospital operating room, usually under general anesthesia. It involves little risk and minimal discomfort.
While the patient is under anesthesia, a needle is inserted into the cavity of the rear hip bone or "iliac crest" where a large quantity of bone marrow is located. The bone marrow is extracted with a needle and syringe. Several skin punctures on each hip and multiple bone punctures are usually required to extract the requisite amount of bone marrow. There are no surgical incisions or stitches involved — only skin punctures where the needle was inserted.
The amount of bone marrow harvested depends on the size of the patient and the concentration of bone marrow cells in the donor's blood. Usually one to two quarts of marrow and blood are harvested. While this may sound like a lot, it really only represents about 2% of a person's bone marrow, which the body replaces in four weeks.
When the anesthesia wears off, the donor may feel some discomfort at the harvest site. The pain will be similar to that associated with a hard fall on the ice and can usually be controlled with Tylenol. Donors who are not also the BMT patient are usually discharged after an overnight stay and can fully resume normal activities in a few days.
For autologous transplants, the harvested bone marrow will be frozen (cryopreserved) and stored at a temperature between -80 and -196 degrees centigrade until the day of transplant. It may first be "purged" to remove residual cancerous cells that can't be easily identified under the microscope.
In allogeneic BMTs, the bone marrow may be treated to remove "T-cells" (T cell depletion) to reduce the risk of graft-versus-host disease. It will then be transferred directly to the patient's room for infusion.
During Transplant
During a bone marrow transplant the bone marrow is infused intravenously into the patient, in much the same way that any blood product is administered.
Even though the transplant lasts a short amount of time, the patient must stay in an isolated hospital room for two to four weeks after the transplant. The high-dose chemotherapy and/or radiation given to the patient during conditioning will have destroyed the patient's bone marrow, crippling the body's "immune" or defense system. As the patient waits for the transplanted bone marrow to migrate to the cavities of the large bones, set up housekeeping or "engraft," and begin producing normal blood cells, he or she will be very susceptible to infection and excessive bleeding. Multiple antibiotics and blood transfusions will be administered to the patient to help prevent and fight infection. Transfusions of platelets will be given to prevent bleeding. Allogeneic patients will receive additional medications to prevent and control graft-versus-host disease.
Extraordinary precautions will be taken to minimize the patient's exposure to viruses and bacteria. Visitors and hospital personnel will wash their hands with antiseptic soap and, in some cases, wear protective gowns, gloves and/or masks while in the patient's room. Fresh fruits, vegetables, plants and cut flowers will be prohibited in the patient's room since they often carry fungi and bacteria that pose a risk of infection. When leaving the room, the patient may wear a mask, gown and gloves as a barrier against bacteria and virus, and as a reminder to others that he or she is susceptible to infection.
A bone marrow transplant is a physically, emotionally, and psychologically taxing procedure for both the patient and family. A patient needs and should seek as much help as possible to cope with the experience. "Toughing it out" on your own is not the smartest way to cope with the transplant experience.
The bone marrow transplant is a debilitating experience. Imagine the symptoms of a severe case of the flu - nausea, vomiting, fever, diarrhea, extreme weakness. Now imagine what it's like to cope with the symptoms not just for several days, but for several weeks. That approximates what a BMT patient experiences during hospitalization.
During this period the patient will feel very sick and weak. Walking, sitting up in bed for long periods of time, reading books, talking on the phone, visiting with friends or even watching TV may require more energy than the patient as to spare.
Complications can develop after a bone marrow transplant such as infection, bleeding, graft-versus-host disease, or liver disease, which can create additional discomfort. The pain, however, is usually controllable by medication. In addition, mouth sores can develop that make eating and swallowing uncomfortable. Temporary mental confusion sometimes occurs and can be quite frightening for the patient who may not realize it's only temporary. The medical staff will help the patient deal with these problems.
Handling Emotional Stress
In addition to the physical discomfort associated with the transplant experience there is emotional and psychological discomfort as well. Some patients find the emotional and psychological stress more problematic than the physical discomfort.
The psychological and emotional stress stems from several factors. First, patients undergoing transplants are already traumatized by the news that they have a life-threatening disease. While the transplant offers hope for their recovery, the prospect of undergoing a long, arduous medical procedure is still not pleasant and there's no guarantee of success.
Second, patients undergoing a transplant can feel quite isolated. The special precautions taken to guard against infection while the immune system is impaired can leave a patient feeling detached from the rest of the world and cut off from normal human contact. The patient is housed in a private room, sometimes with special air-filtering equipment to purify the air. The number of visitors is restricted and visitors are asked to wear gloves, masks and/or other protective clothing to inhibit the spread of bacteria and virus while visiting the patient. When the patient leaves the room, he or she may be required to wear a protective mask, gown and/or gloves as a barrier against infection. This feeling of isolation comes at the very time in a patient's life when familiar surroundings and close physical contact with family and friends are most needed.
'Helplessness" is also a common feeling among bone marrow transplant patients, which can breed further feelings of anger or resentment. For many, it's unnerveing to be totally dependent on strangers for survival, no matter how competent they may be. The fact that most patients are unfamiliar with the medical jargon used to describe the transplant procedure compounds the feeling of helplessness. Some also find it embarrassing to be dependent on strangers for help with basic daily functions such as using the washroom.
The long weeks of waiting for the transplanted marrow to engraft, for blood counts to return to safe levels, and for side effects to disappear increase the emotional trauma. Recovery can be like a roller coaster ride: one day a patient may feel much better, only to awake the next day feeling as sick as ever.
After Transplant
Leaving the Hospital
After being discharged from the hospital, a patient continues recovery at home (or at lodging near the transplant center if the patient is from out of town) for two to four months. Patients usually cannot return to full-time work for up to six months after the transplant.
Though patients will be well enough to leave the hospital, their recovery will be far from over. For the first several weeks the patient may be too weak to do much more than sleep, sit up, and walk a bit around the house. Frequent visits to the hospital or associated clinic will be required to monitor the patient's progress, and to administer any medications and/or blood products needed. It can take six months or more from the day of transplant before a patient is ready to fully resume normal activities.
During this period, the patient's white blood cell counts are often too low to provide normal protection against the viruses and bacteria encountered in everyday life. Contact with the general public is therefore restricted. Crowded movie theaters, grocery stores, department stores, etc. are places recovering BMT patients avoid during their recuperation. Often patients will wear protective masks when venturing outside the home.
A patient will return to the hospital or clinic as an outpatient several times a week for monitoring, blood transfusions, and administration of other drugs as needed. Eventually, the patient becomes strong enough to resume a normal routine and to look forward to a productive, healthy life.
Life after Transplant
It can take as long as a year for the new bone marrow to function normally. Patients are closely monitored during this time to identify any infections or complications that may develop.
Life after transplant can be both exhilarating and worrisome. On the one hand, it's exciting to be alive after being so close to death. Most patients find their quality of life improved after transplant.
Nonetheless, there is always the worry that relapse will occur. Furthermore, innocent statements or events can sometimes conjure up unpleasant memories of the transplant experience long after the patient has recovered. It can take a long time for the patient to come to grips with these difficulties.
Is It Worth It?
Yes! For most patients contemplating a bone marrow transplant, the alternative is near-certain death. Despite the fact that the transplant can be a trying experience, most find that the pleasure that comes from being alive and healthy after the transplant is well worth the effort.

ISTJ Makes sense... Especially the part in BOLD!!
ISTJs are often called inspectors. They have a keen sense of right and wrong, especially in their area of interest and/or responsibility. They are noted for devotion to duty. Punctuality is a watchword of the ISTJ. The secretary, clerk, or business(wo)man by whom others set their clocks is likely to be an ISTJ.
As do other Introverted Thinkers, ISTJs often give the initial impression of being aloof and perhaps somewhat cold. Effusive expression of emotional warmth is not something that ISTJs do without considerable energy loss.
ISTJs are most at home with "just the facts, Ma'am." They seem to perform at highest efficiency when employing a step-by-step approach. Once a new procedure has proven itself (i.e., has been shown "to work,") the ISTJ can be depended upon to carry it through, even at the expense of their own health.
ISTJs are easily frustrated by the inconsistencies of others, especially when the second parties don't keep their commitments But they usually keep their feelings to themselves unless they are asked. And when asked, they don't mince words. Truth wins out over tact. The grim determination of the ISTJ vindicates itself in officiation of sports events, judiciary functions, or an other situation which requires making tough calls and sticking to them.
His SJ orientation draws the ISTJ into the service of established institutions. Home, social clubs, government, schools, the military, churches -- these are the bastions of the SJ. "We've always done it this way" is often reason enough for many ISTJs. Threats to time-honored traditions or established organizations (e.g., a "run" on the bank) are the undoing of SJs, and are to be fought at all costs.

(Varicella Virus Vaccine Live) Subcutaneous Injection
VARIVAX [Varicella Virus Vaccine Live] is a preparation of the Oka/Merck strain of live, attenuated varicella virus. The virus was initially obtained from a child with wild-type varicella, then introduced into human embryonic lung cell cultures, adapted to and propagated in embryonic guinea pig cell cultures and finally propagated in human diploid cell cultures (WI-38). Further passage of the virus for varicella vaccine was performed at Merck Research Laboratories (MRL) in human diploid cell cultures (MRC-5) that were free of adventitious agents. This live, attenuated varicella vaccine is a lyophilized preparation containing sucrose, phosphate, glutamate, and processed gelatin as stabilizers.
VARIVAX, when reconstituted as directed, is a sterile preparation for subcutaneous injection. Each approximately 0.5-mL dose contains a minimum of 1350 plaque-forming units (PFU) of Oka/Merck varicella virus when reconstituted and stored at room temperature for a maximum of 30 minutes. Each 0.5-mL dose also contains approximately 25 mg of sucrose, 12.5 mg hydrolyzed gelatin, 3.2 mg of sodium chloride, 0.5 mg of monosodium L-glutamate, 0.45 mg of sodium phosphate dibasic, 0.08 mg of potassium phosphate monobasic, and 0.08 mg of potassium chloride. The product also contains residual components of MRC-5 cells including DNA and protein and trace quantities of sodium phosphate monobasic, EDTA, neomycin and fetal bovine serum. The product contains no preservative.
What are the possible side effects of this vaccine (Varivax)?
You should not receive a booster vaccine if you had a life-threatening allergic reaction after the first shot.
Keep track of any and all side effects you have after receiving this vaccine. When you receive a booster dose, you will need to tell the doctor if the previous shots caused any side effects.
Becoming infected with chickenpox is much more dangerous to your health than receiving the vaccine to protect against it. Like any medicine, this vaccine can cause side effects, but the risk of serious side effects is extremely low.

What are the precautions when taking varicella virus vaccine live (Varivax)?
Before receiving varicella virus vaccine, tell your health care professional if you are allergic to it; or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients (such as neomycin, gelatin), which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.
Before using this vaccine, tell your health care professional your medical history, especially of: illness with a high fever over 101 degrees F (38 degrees C), immune system problems (such as due to HIV infection, cancer treatment, organ transplant), decreased immune function from other medications (see also Drug Interactions), untreated tuberculosis (TB) infection.
There is a small risk that you may expose others to infection with chickenpox for up to 6 weeks after...

Jeep News & Rumors
What do you think about Jeep adding a power retractable top to the Wrangler? Choose your answer wisely, since it's possibly an option coming to the next-generation Jeep and to owners who are lazy as all heck. Or maybe it's about convenience. Seems lazy.
Mopar already has accessories for the '15 Renegade. More than 100 of them. None are Wrangler-themed face and body-redo kits. But they do include a Jeep Performance Parts lowering kit and after-cat exhaust.

"If a driver says that it is not going to respect the robot because it's just a machine, the robot is going to take that and there will be a ticket for him.

Jeep Renegade, Not Jeep Jeepster
That "baby" Jeep? It has a real name now: Renegade. And it's a '15 model. The Trailhawk 4x4 version has standard Jeep Drive Active Low (there's also Jeep Drive Active, a full-time system, too), which has a 20:1 crawl ratio; coupled with Selec-Terrain with Rock mode (only the Trailhawk has this mode). To push its Trail Rated–ness, there's been a bump in ride height as well as the addition of front and rear tow hooks and skidplates.
The fascias have also been optimized for approach and departure angles, while Hill Descent Control and 19 inches to spare for water fording. The 1.4L Multiair Turbo is worth about 160 horses and 170 lb-ft of torque; the 2.4L Multiair2 Tigershark sees 184 ponies and 177 lb-ft of twist. Independent suspension exists with a MacPherson setup in front, and the Renegade is the first to have the Koni frequency selective damping strut system at either end.
And a big notable is the available nine-speed auto transmission. It can be mated to the diesel or the 2.4L MultiAir gas engine.

This is my first post here, but I have been reading the forum for a few months. I have really gained a lot of valuable knowledge from "listening in" on the conversations here. Thanks, everyone!
I have a six-month-old yellow lab female pup that I have been training on my own. She's a smart pup with lots of drive. Thanks to some recommendations on this forum, I am using Mike Lardy's Total Retriever Training program. It is going well so far, and we are about halfway through force fetch at the moment.
We have a two-week family vacation coming up in a few weeks, and I am trying to decide what to do with the pup. I don't like the idea of her sitting just around in the boarding kennel at the vet's office. She is a high energy dog and needs a lot of exercise. I would love the idea of finding a trainer to send her to for a few weeks just to keep her working and busy, and also to get to know a trainer for possible further training down the road. However, I am having a hard time finding any trainers in the local area, and especially any that would be interested in taking a dog for a short time. Is such an arrangement even possible? I guess the next best thing would be to find a boarding kennel that specializes in allowing the dogs more exercise. Does anyone out there have any recommendations for that type of boarding kennel in Central Iowa? Are there other possibilities that I haven't thought of?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts you may have on the matter.

I'm sort of agreeing with Mr. Roboto and Slicker here.
The first thing I don't like is the lack of civility. But it is worse at rebelscum than it is here.
I saw a thread where my own friend BigBarada here was mistreated over at rebelscum about one dumb issue or another.
Mr. Roboto: You are right that there is a lack of interesting product. I do not buy more Resculpts of figures I already own. Yes Slicker, Those are apologists that are claiming how great the new black line is.
It offers me little but I will buy three figures: Plagueis, 6" ROTS Obi-Wan, 6"ROTS Bespin Luke.
If the 3 3/4" Dagobah Luke is interesting with his jacket open I'll consider it.
I am usually not posting because I do not want to add to the negativity but at least I am NOT attacking others.

Remember the recent poster who said a Hall of Fame trainer was abusive by watching his training dvd ?
I remember a neighbor watching me train with a heeling stick (and I didn't even use it) saying "Oh, I can't bear to watch".
I think talking to previous trained dog owners is a good way to select a trainer. Recently all my dogs have come from referrals.
However, due to my slow recovery from back surgery I don't have any client dogs now and I am not seeking any until next year. I am however focusing on Rowdy.

Look - I'm Princess Leia!
Think I'll hang fire on pre-ordering this until they've got a provisional shipping-date listed on the website... just in case it does crop up somewhere else in the meantime.
I'm seriously considering pre-ordering the Imperial Shuttle from them for £95 though, in spite of the price. The sooner people order this, the sooner the store will have an idea of how many to order from FAO/Hasbro - and the money will come out of my account at the same time (December) regardless of whether I submit my order this week or next month.
Be interesting to hear anyone else's thoughts on this... ?
"Afterlife, aftershave - don't hold with any of it!" - Sir Henry Rawlinson.
that is a bit expensive for gunship ain't it???
Ireland rule!!!!!
Next on List : Destroyer Droid (Arena Battle) ,Clone Trooper with Speeder bike, Geo Arena, Dooku Speeder, Aayla Secura (Jedi Knight), Barris Offee (Jedi Knight), Commerce Guild Spider Droid!!!!!
I might order the Gunship, it'll only turn up here at an outrageous price.
"There is no pain where strength lies"-Darth Maul
"You must join me, Obi-Wan, and together we will destroy the Sith!"-Count Dooku
£45 seems a bit pricey for the Gunship, considering you will have to buy 2 Clonetrooper pilot figures to get the 2 gun pods for it. That will push the price up to £56 or above.
On the plus side, it is a HUGE craft, and has lots of functions etc, so then again £45 don't seem too bad.
As for the shuttle, £95 is also a bit pricey, considering that it doesn't have any electronics, as the vintage version did have them.
There is a plus side to this aswell. The POTF2 AT-AT was originally £99, and the Episode I Royal Starship was £120 rrp, and both were reduced later in their brief lifespan.
Hopefully, this may happen to the shuttle too, depending on availability etc. but I severely doubt it.
Besides would you rather pay £400+ for a vintage boxed one, or £95 for a brand new boxed SAGA one ??
I see that US stores KB & TRU are taking preorders for the Gunship now for $40.00.
THATS ONLY £26 to us, are we going wrong somewhere ??

No, just unlucky! I mean we pay £6 at R2Dtoys for figures cause that's a standard price - the things are £3.50 in the states. That's why I've made sure I was over there for the Ep 1 and Sga launches to give myself a head start!
Look - I'm Princess Leia!

This past century has seen emerging communications markets skip an entire generation of technology infrastructure, namely, the wired telephone system. Large portions of the population in countries like India and China now have cell phones in areas that never had traditional landlines.
If these countries build a transportation infrastructure based on the model in the United States, the emissions could have a major impact on the climate. However, if they choose to skip a generation of infrastructure, emissions growth will be far more manageable. In an effort to do this very thing, China has been investing heavily in modern mass transit, and Information and Communication Technology (ICT). They have surpassed the United States in both these areas and yet Americans cling to the outdated model.
Paul Dickinson, as CEO of the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), used these words to rally his troops behind the telepresence revolution. As part of their 'yes we can' attitude the CDP conducted a comprehensive study examining the environmental and economic benefits of using telepresence in the short term, and after long-term, large-scale adoption of this technology.
The CDP study piggybacked on the Smart 2020 Report that forecasts an emissions savings of 7.8 billion tons of CO2 by 2020 through the smart integration of ICT in the workplace, and personal space. In an effort to better quantify the environmental and financial impact of telepresence, the CDP collected data from 15 of the Global 500 companies that have already upgraded to the telepresence model.
The CDP concluded that telepresence could avoid millions of tons of CO2. A single business with four telepresence rooms can reduce CO2 emissions by the equivalent of 400 passenger vehicles in the span of five years, 2,271 metric tons. Implementing telepresence throughout the US has the potential to reduce emissions by almost a million metric tons per year.
Besides the environmental benefits, the CDP study also concluded that deployment of telepresence in businesses with annual revenues of more than $1 billion could see an economy wide financial benefit of $3.5 billion by 2020 and this is in the US alone.

Allen C. "Al" Fowlie
MADISON - Allen C. "Al" Fowlie passed away on December 13, 2013 at the St. Mary's Care Center in Madison, Wisconsin.
Al was born on October 3, 1928, to William and Else (Behrendt) Fowlie in Stevens Point, WI. He attended Stevens Point Public School and graduated from high school in 1948 before moving to Madison in 1952, where he would reside for the next sixty years.
Al joined his friend, Nick George in Madison. Upon his relocation to Madison, Al was able to find a job, through the State Employment Office, with Automatic Temperature Supplies (ATS), a plumbing wholesale house on East Main Street. Due to his work ethic, diligence and loyalty, Al remained employed with ATS for 38 years until his retirement in 1990. His employment at ATS gave Al a collection of lifelong friendships and associations that ensured the enrichment of both Al's life and the lives of those fortunate enough to know Al through his occupation.
Al was a true individual, one whom no person could ever be quick to forget. It would be impossible for anyone who set foot in his home not to notice his interest in history, especially the period from 1900 through the 1930s. His love of the era's music was constantly amplified within the walls of his abode courtesy of the thousands of 78 RPS records he possessed from the early 20th Century. His collection of relics and heirlooms also included the kerosene lamps that he burned in his home so his rooms had a Victorian ambiance, the vast number of bound newspapers that he collected from the 1950s until the 1990s, and his exhaustive library of movies that he recorded and watched on his Beta and VHS recorders.
For years, Allen opened his house to serve Sunday morning breakfast to hungry college students attending the University of Wisconsin. At times, there would be up to 20 students at Allen's doorstep. Those mornings consisted of great food along with insightful conversation. Many of those students became lifelong friends of Allen.
He is survived by his cousins David Behrendt of Edmonds, Washington and John Behrendt of Boulder, Colorado as well as his lifelong friend, Nick George, Nick's wife Joan and the entire George Family. The Christmas Eves that Al spent in the George home year after year would always serve as some of Al's happiest times.
He is also survived by the Sweeney Family of Madison. He touched the lives of three generations of Sweeneys through his association with Automatic Temperatures.
Al was a member of the Rosicrucian Order for over 50 years. He formulated many of his beliefs about life, death and reincarnation from studying the teachings of the order. As per his request, Al was cremated and his ashes were spread in order to "comingle with the earth."
We would like to thank Dr. Albert Musa, his assistant Bette Macaulay and the entire staff of the Dean Clinic for their 20 years of excellent care that allowed Al to live a comfortable life despite his many ailments.
We also wish to thank the staff at St. Mary's Care Center in Madison for their support and care of Al for the two years that he was a resident.
A memorial gathering will be held from 4 p.m. until 7 p.m. on Wednesday, January 2, 2012, at JOYCE-RYAN FUNERAL HOME, 5701 Odana Road.
In lieu of flowers please make a donation to the charity of your choice.

Thread: Bolivian ram unknown sickness
Bolivian ram unknown sickness
One of my female bolivian rams has an illness I cannot identify. I bought the female along with 7 other rams about 1.5 months ago and quarantined them. The ram seemed fine(active, begging for food, hanging out with others, nice round belly) until about a week and a half ago when she started becoming listless, lost appetite, grew thin and hung on the periphery of the group. I separated her and treated with antiparasitic medication(tetra parasite guard) for a week but symptoms have not improved. Eventually I decided to return her to the main tank because it wasn't getting better and she didn't like the solitary confinement of the qt. so far things still have not improved. I am at my wits end to what it could be, I had several theories but none seem viable.
- parasite infection. Again, I already have treated for parasites with no avail
- stress from aggression. The rams do occasionally chase and nip at each other, but it isn't serious and they still hang out together in a little corner. If any fish were stressed by aggression it could flee to the remaining 3/4 of the tank
- bacterial/fungal infection. Possible, but I doubt so too because my water is clean(amm/trite/trate all 0, pH 7.2) and things were fine for about a month before the illness
My only ideas currently are either a bacterial infection of sorts(would explain why anti parasites don't work, but unlikely due to clean water) or else a parasite that has gained immunity to common meds due to fish farms constantly immersing fish in medications. If anyone has any other input, either to other possible causes or treatment possibilities, I would really appreciate it.
Anybody at all?
I have experienced something that sounds very similar to your situation a few years back with my congo tetras. I treated with one anti-parasitic med (following the instructions to the letter) and nothing changed. After removing that med from the set-up I tried a second treatment with a different anti-parasitic med and it worked. That fish is still healthy and doing well today.
The theory is that not all anti-parasitic meds can treat all of the different types of parasites. That theory did seam to hold true for me, but there is still a chance that I just got lucky. It might be worth considering a treatment with a different medIf you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.

Thanks a lot for the reply. If you still remember, what were the first and second medications you were using? I would just like to know how they differ in ingredients.
I don't remember the first one, but I will check when I get home tomorrow just in case I kept the bottle. I'll PM you if I find it.
The second med I used was prazi-pro. That stuff can be hard to find in stores in Western Canada for some strange reason. Depending on where you are in Alberta, if you have to order it on-line, J&L Aquatic should be able to ship it to you next day as they are located in the greater Vancouver area.If you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.

Like an alcoholic downing nips on the drive home from court-ordered rehabilitation, JPMorgan Chase and its CEO, Jamie Dimon, could hardly wait to once again start wildly tossing depositors' money into derivative hedge bets — the very type of irresponsible behavior that nearly brought down all of Wall Street less than four years ago.
This time, the crash at the end of JP Morgan's drunken spree did far less damage — $2 billion in trading losses, a sum the insanely profitable money-changers can apparently absorb without affecting Dimon's $23 million annual compensation package, which was approved at Tuesday's shareholder meeting. (Dimon conveniently waited to disclose the fiasco until after many of JPMorgan's shareholders had put their votes in the mail.)
The JPMorgan story provides stark evidence — not that any was needed — that the federal government must continue strengthening its regulation and oversight of the banking industry.
Far from having solved the "too big to fail" dilemma, which required massive governmental intervention to prop up the nation's largest banks in 2008 and 2009, those financial institutions have only grown larger. If they were too big to fail a few years ago, then the banks today are even more capable of destroying the nation's economy. Had JPMorgan's losses multiplied we, the public, would have been on the hook again — and at this point we don't know how close the company's "errors, sloppiness, and bad judgment" took it toward that brink.
As Elizabeth Warren put it to Washington Post writer Ezra Klein: "What if the next loss is $20 billion or $200 billion? Is [Dimon] saying JPMorgan should be entitled to continue to take these bets right up until the day it lands in the taxpayer's lap again?"
Yes, he is — which is precisely why we need more US senators with Warren's sense of outrage in Washington.
Warren is calling for a strengthening of the Dodd-Frank Act, to ensure that government regulators have the flexibility and authority to keep up with the new high-wire schemes that Wall Street wizards invent to enrich themselves. That is crucially important.
She has also endorsed the idea of a new version of the Glass-Steagall Act, passed after the 1929 stock-market crash (and repealed in 1999) to separate banking institutions from high-risk investment houses. Although the specifics of how this would work are debatable, it is an idea whose time has come — yet again.
These are not measures we can expect to see from our current senator, Republican Scott Brown, who has been drumming up big-money contributions from Wall Street executives, including those at JPMorgan, by explicitly contrasting himself against a Wall Street regulator like Warren.
Although Brown has been conspicuously silent on the JPMorgan disaster, it's safe to assume that he is on the same page with his party's new leader, Mitt Romney, who derides any criticism of JPMorgan, or talk of regulation, as an attack on capitalism.
And those two represent the relatively moderate wing of today's every-raider-for-himself Republican Party. Let's not put them behind the wheel again.

An abdominal wall fat pad biopsy is the removal of a small part of the abdominal wall fat pad.
Abdominal wall biopsy; Biopsy - abdominal wall fat pad
The health care provider cleans the skin on your belly area. Numbing medicine may be applied on the area. A needle is placed through the skin and into the fat pad under the skin. A small piece of the fat pad is removed with the needle. It is sent to a laboratory for analysis.
No special preparation is usually necessary.
You may have some mild discomfort or feel pressure when the needle is inserted. Afterward, the area may feel tender or be bruised for several days.
The procedure is done most often to test for amyloidosis.
The fat pad tissues are normal.
In the case of amyloidosis, abnormal results mean there is amyloid. This is a protein that collects in tissues and impairs organ and tissue function.
There is a slight risk of infection, bruising, or slight bleeding.

These time series are an interpretation of US Business Cycle Expansions and Contractions data provided by The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) at http://www.nber.org/cycles/cyclesmain.html and Organisation of Economic Development (OECD) Composite Leading Indicators: Reference Turning Points and Component Series data provided by the OECD at http://www.oecd.org/std/leading-indicators/oecdcompositeleadingindicatorsreferenceturningpointsandcomponentseries.htm. Our time series are composed of dummy variables that represent periods of expansion and recession. The NBER identifies months and quarters, while the OECD identifies months, of turning points without designating a date within the period that turning points occurred. The dummy variable adopts an arbitrary convention that the turning point occurred at a specific date within the period. The arbitrary convention does not reflect any judgment on this issue by the NBER's Business Cycle Dating Committee or the OECD. A value of 1 is a recessionary period, while a value of 0 is an expansionary period. Read More
