Health Notes: Essentia recognized for effective stroke treatment
Essentia Health-St. Mary's Medical Center has been certified as a Primary Stroke Center.By: Compiled by John Lundy, Duluth News Tribune
Essentia Health-St. Mary's Medical Center has been certified as a Primary Stroke Center.
The Joint Commission, a Washington-based nonprofit, analyzed every part of the patient experience while receiving stroke care at St. Mary's, an Essentia Health news release said.
"They're looking at how fast and well the medical team responds to each patient," said Dr. Nicholas Itzin, an emergency medicine physician, in the news release. "Each member of the team plays a critical role."
St. Mary's is one of 16 Minnesota hospitals currently certified as Primary Stroke Centers, according to the Joint Commission's website. In Wisconsin, 30 hospitals qualify.
The Joint Commission accredits and certifies more than 19,000 health-care organizations and programs in the United States, according to its website.
Walk-in plastic surgery
Plastic surgery without appointments will be offered between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. Dec. 13 at St. Luke's Plastic Surgery Associates, Level 5 of Campus Building A, 1012 E. Second St.
In a news release, St. Luke's cited a trend of women visiting the clinic during the holiday season.
Dr. Wade Kubat, a plastic surgeon, said he recommends scheduling noninvasive procedures 10 to 14 days before a social event. On the 13th, clients can drop in to receive Botox and Juvederm treatments without an appointment.
The clinic typically sees a busy time after Thanksgiving, Kubat said.
For more information, call (218) 249-7910.
Joining the club
A Duluth-based health-research organization has joined a prestigious club.
The Essentia Institute of Rural Health has been admitted to the HMO Research Network, an Essentia Health news release announced. It is one of 19 U.S. medical research organizations in the consortium, which also includes Health Partners, Kaiser Permanente and Harvard Pilgrim. The Duluth organization was added in October.
As part of the network, the institute has access to the health information of more than 15 million people, including 600,000 patients from Essentia Health, the news release said. All data are "scrubbed" to eliminate any personal information, and then used to study the effectiveness of everything from new heart drugs to diabetes education programs.
Researchers say it's becoming increasingly important to have access to large amounts of information. Because Essentia covers a predominantly rural region, the data it brings adds diversity to the predominantly urban patient database.
Tweet the flu
State health officials are turning to social networking to get word out about the flu.
The Minnesota Department of Health will host a live Twitter chat from noon to 1 p.m. today, a health department news release announced.
Although the health department frequently tweets information, this is its first venture into the brave new world of Twitter chat.
Three experts on flu and flu vaccines will take questions from Twitter followers using the hashtag #askMDH.
The chat is being held in conjunction with Minnesota's "Ban the Bug" week, an effort to convince state residents to get flu shots.
For more information, go to www.wdhflu.com, and click on "Flu Twitter Chat" at the top of the page.
Helping kids cope
"Death and Loss: Helping Children with Grief" is the topic of "Speak Your Mind" at 7:30 tonight on PBS North, Channels 8 and 31.
Dr. Carolyn Phelps will host experts on the topic. Viewers can call or e-mail with questions during the program.
That will be preceded at 7 p.m. by "Doctors on Call." This week, Dr. Ruth Westra will host a discussion on "Head Injuries."

I purchased this edger in April 2010. The first season it started with the pull rope. The beginning of the second season it took the power drill to start and then mid summer it regressed to power drill plus starting fluid to start. Finally it would not start at all. Since it was still under warranty, I took it to the Sears store where purchased. They do not evaluate it where you bought it. They ship it to Dallas. A customer service rep called me about a week later and said it needs a new short block because it was caused by too much or not enough oil. I find this hard to believe since it did not smoke at all. It was only hard to start. The rep could not direct me to anyone higher and said my option was to send it back. After it arrived at the Sears store where I purchased, I spoke with the manager who read from the service report what they found. No leeway. None of we are sorry that our edger is a piece of dung. She did ask if I wanted to purchase a new edger. Are you serious? I told her I will buy one from ********** or ********** said but their warranty is not as good as ours. Geez, how much worse can it be when a warranty is not really a warranty. Bottom line -- I have a Sears lawnmower, blower, power washer and many power tools. But you know what? Never again will I purchase anything from Sears.

No more sweating the edging! This plows right thru even the toughest of weed grass! Love the speed start.

If your yard has been kept up and edged regularly this will probably keep it up. But if your yard has been neglected at all don't bother with this one. There is a reason the larger ones are always out of stock. I used this for 3 hours and did one half of one side walk about 75 ft. Took it back and bought a different larger edger, different brand and did the whole yard in about 2 hours including redoing the part I did with this one. It works fine just not enough power.
The Villages, FL
via sears.com
you say your blade is hard steel you have to be kidding I took it off to sharpen and its nothing but cold rolled steel. I edge about 150 ft weekly and it wares down to where I have to replace it. I know you think I'm cutting the concrete but I am very careful because I know how soft the steel is.Because of this I can't recommend the whole edger. You need to upgrade the BLADE.
Whitehall, WI

used it for 5 hours, haven't edged my sidewalks for several years, this edger did a great job.
via sears.com
Wish the back wheel lowered would be much easier to operate along the curb.
The reviewer indicated they are affiliated with this product.

Used twice so far and starts and stops with ease. The depth adjustment is easy and clear.
Riverview, FL
This is a decent edger. Easy to set-up, easy to operate. If your grass is thick or your edge takes a lot of effort, this guy might not be the right edger, but it does the job. HOWEVER, once the blade gets beaten down, it's nearly impossible to replace. I took the whole edger apart and the one bolt I could not remove was the one that held the blade in place! I took it back to Sears and they had no help. I went to this website and they had no help. I went to Google and You-tube...no help. Most edgers have a mechanism to lock the blade, if this one has one, I couldn't find it and now I simply can't remove the blade and the edger is essentially a throw away. Unless Craftsman gives me direction on how to swap the blade, I can't give this more than one star. Sorry.
via sears.com
Was hesitant to purchase because it only had 29cc engine. I was pleasantly amazed at how well this thing works. My driveway is 85' long and at least as much sidewalk. Never hesitated or struggled. Edger walked right through them both. Easy to adjust cutting depth. Easy to start and you get an adapter to start with your drill. I am very pleased.

Y'all are pissing me off.. Some of you truly don't realize how special of a player Clowney is. He's the next Julius Peppers and might be better, yeah, I said it.
Some of you guys will be eating crow come draft time and when he's raping NFL QB's.. He's the most athletic player i've seen in a decade and you won't find a player with his skill set and athletic ability anywhere in CFB.

Last year at FIU, a team that was 3-9
Teddy was 19/36 for 194 with 2TD to 2INT... he ran for an amazing 16 yards on 4 carries
His team won 28-21, clearly the NFL is drooling over guys like this

Solid year ? since when does that go top 10 ? especially from a Big East kid
He needs more than a solid year my friend, just ask Barkley..... even a solid year from Barkley and he falls to late 1st or worst
Its so damn funny to me how every year people put their faith into a QB who does very little
Logan Thomas and Matt Barkley last year and now Teddy Bridgewater
Also Im not sure who is aware, but Teddy blows in the pocket and escaping it too.... now he was hurt for much of last year ( see my comment in previous post about how the NFL will tear his ass up ) but Teddy sucks at running for some reason, despite being an athletic black kid from south florida... it literally makes no god damn sense except for one obvious explanation.... he is a huge pussy who doesn't like getting hit

He's going to need to take a step forward absolutely, but his performance against Florida put him in a good position to get drafted early.
Putting Logan Thomas in the same category as Bridgewater is laughable, guy sucks shit.

Add jumping close to 40 inch vertical. Clowney only needs to work on his conditioning so he can go close to 100 all-game.
Most dominant edge guy I've seen in college since Derrick Thomas in the late 1980s. I really think he's to DEs what Herschel and Bo were to RBs. Nasty athleticism.

Well aware of his greatness (I saw it first hand against Michigan), and well aware of his hype in HS. Just saying people started talking about Clowney a lot more after that hit.
Sure everyone on this board knew about Clowney ages ago, but a lot of common sports fans didn't know him until about that hit.
Clowney is a stud, and probably the best DE from my days following the draft. But I still don't think he ends up at #1.
A top flight QB is just infinitely more valuable than a DE.

It's a chilly autumn Sunday here in Beaune and we're busy in the kitchen making jam. We spotted these beauties at Madame Loichet's market table yesterday and we just couldn't help ourselves.
fig with vanilla confiture
Adapted from Mes Confitures, by Christine Ferber
1 kg fresh figs
400 grams sugar
Juice of 1 small lemon
2 vanilla beans
Rinse the figs in cold water and dry them in a towel. Remove the stems. Quarter each fig lengthwise. In a bowl, combine the fruit, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla beans, split lengthwise. Cover with a sheet of parchment paper and let macerate 1 hour.
Pour this preparation into a preserving pan and bring to a simmer. Pour back into the bowl. Cover with a sheet of parchment paper and refrigerate overnight.
Next day, bring this preparation to a boil in a preserving pan. Skim and continue cooking on high heat for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring gently. Remove the vanilla beans. Return to a boil. Check the set. Put the jam into jars and seal.

Recent cold weather means high numbers of manatees may be concentrated in warm-water refuges near power plants, rivers and springs throughout the state. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) cautions boaters to be on the lookout for manatees moving into the Intracoastal Waterway reach warm-water refuges at power plants and springs. Boaters should slow down and strictly obey posted speed restrictions in manatee protection zones.
"When the weather changes, large numbers of these mammals move in and out of warm-water refuges and feeding areas," said Kipp Frohlich, the FWC's Imperiled Species Section leader. "That's when the greatest danger from boat strikes occurs. This pattern will repeat itself as winter cold fronts come and go."
The FWC and its law enforcement partners will be increasing patrols and strictly enforcing manatee-protection-zone speed limits to aid the animals during this period when they are most vulnerable to vessel strikes.
To avoid striking manatees, vessel operators should wear polarized sunglasses to help them spot the creatures in the water; and watch for the large, tell-tale circular slicks on the surface of the water (manatee footprints) that indicate the presence of manatees.
For more information on Florida's manatees, visit MyFWC.com/Manatee. To report an injured or dead manatee, please call the FWC's Wildlife Alert Hotline at 888-404-FWCC (3922).
FWC Facts:When operating a monohull boat less than 20 feet long, do not exceed the maximum weight, persons or horsepower capacity displayed on the manufacturer's capacity plate.

Free Beer vs. Free Speech
Throughout 2000, LinuxDevices.com conducted a survey of developers to try to understand their motivations for using Linux in embedded systems and intelligent devices. Some of the most interesting results are in the areas of reasons for wanting to use open-source software and the perceived strengths and advantages of Linux.
You might think the simple answer would be "Because it's free." Not so!
Here, developers were asked to select their first, second and third reasons for using open-source software in embedded applications from these choices:
So I can add functionality directly within the OS.
It represents "insurance", even if it's never needed.
It facilitates debugging and troubleshooting the application.
It allows a full understanding what's going on inside the OS.
It lets me immediately fix OS bugs, if they arise.
It eliminates dependence on a single OS vendor.
The collaborative open-source development process produces superior software.
I don't need or want open source.
Each of the selected reasons was weighted according to whether it was designated most important (5 points), second most important (3 points), or third most important (1 points). Then, the results were combined and normalized such that the top reason ended up with a score of 1.0. Figure 1 shows the results.
These results are intriguing in several respects. First, the popular notion of programmers hacking away at source code to create custom versions of Linux was not borne out by the survey. Instead, developers place a high value on having source code as a way to avoid being held hostage to proprietary OS providers. Also, having source code makes it much easier to find out what's going on inside the system. Choices like "so I can modify the software" and "so I can fix bugs" did receive a fair number of votes, but in the overall scheme of things, these ended up at the bottom of the list.
Interestingly, the reason that topped the list was "the collaborative open-source development process produces superior software". What's especially significant about this finding is that it's not something that proprietary software vendors can emulate without fundamentally altering their business models—something they are highly unlikely to do.
The survey also asked developers to identify their main reasons for wanting to use Linux in embedded applications. Here, the respondents were asked to check all of the reasons they felt were important from among the following:
No runtime royalties.
Source code is available (and free).
It's not from Microsoft.
Linux has excellent networking support.
There are more drivers and tools available.
Lots of programmers are familiar with Linux.
Linux is more robust/reliable.
Figure 2 shows the results.
One particularly intriguing result is that, despite the obvious cost-sensitivity of embedded devices, the "free speech" aspect of Linux (i.e., source code is available) edged out "free beer" (i.e., no royalties) as the primary reason developers are looking at embedding Linux in their designs.
To delve a bit deeper into the cost issue, we asked a pair of questions related to costs: "Would you consider paying for Linux development/support services?" and "Would you consider paying per-unit royalties?" The results appear in Figures 3 and 4. (Note: the second question was added more recently, so the results shown here are based on a relatively small sample of data.)
What we learn from the results is that while embedded developers are indeed prepared to invest money in outside services and support for embedded Linux (68% said yes and only 13% said no), the numbers are nearly flip-flopped when the question is willingness to pay royalties (51% said no and only 21% said yes).
I suspect some of the suppliers of embedded Linux software and services will find these results "interesting"--to say the least!

Rick Lehrbaum (email@example.com) created the LinuxDevices.com "embedded Linux portal", which recently became part of the ZDNet Linux Resource Center. Rick has worked in the field of embedded systems since 1979. He cofounded Ampro Computers, founded the PC/104 Consortium and was instrumental in launching the Embedded Linux Consortium.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Posted: 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 9, 2013
By Jimmy Kelley
One of the biggest issues facing the NCAA today is the issue of player rights. While most of this is based on compensation, a large part deals with the NCAA's inconsistency when dealing with players who transfer from one program to another, particularly in basketball.
The UMass Minutemen have managed to stay above that fray, instead taking on players looking for a better place rather then better circumstances. Chaz Williams is Derek Kellogg's poster child for this as the former Hofstra guard has developed into one of the finest players in the Atlantic 10 since arriving in Amherst and it looks as though Western Mass.'s favorite son has another ace in the hole in 2013-14.
That player is Derrick Gordon, formerly of Western Kentucky. Gordon, along with junior forward Maxie Esho, are the focus of this week's Roster Preview.
As mentioned in the introduction, Gordon joins the Minutemen after sitting out a year due to transfer rules. A 6-foot-3 guard with three seasons of eligibility left, Gordon is the only active player on the team with an NCAA Tournament experience (Jabarie Hinds, a transfer from West Virginia, is sitting out this season).
In 2011-12 as a freshman at Western Kentucky, Gordon averaged team highs in points (11.8) and rebounds (6.7) to go with 2.1 assists and 36.7 percent shooting from the field. The decision to leave was mostly due to a coaching change at Western Kentucky, but UMass ended up being the choice due to his relationship with Kellogg and the proximity to his home in New Jersey.
A strong guard, Gordon will serve as a nice complement to Williams in a backcourt that is instantly one of the best in the conference. He should also see time at point guard in some lineups paired with Trey Davis, Demetrius Dyson or Clyde Santee.
Having gone through the trials of leading an NCAA Tournament team already, Gordon instantly comes one of the Minutemen's most important players as they try to break a 16-year tournament drought.
2011-12 Stats (at WKU): 33.3 minutes, 11.8 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 36.7 percent FG, 26.6 percent 3pt
Where Gordon is new and exciting, Maxie Esho is something of a known commodity. Since redshirting during his freshman year, Esho has put together two seasons of just about 20-minute, 5-point-per-game basketball with an uptick from 3.4 to 5.0 rebounds last season.
Esho was a three-star recruit coming out of Lee Academy in Maine with scouts falling in love with his ability to run the floor and play at or above the rim, but wanting more out of his shooting and ball-handling abilities. Now, three years later, those calls for improvements have not changed.
What has changed, however, are the expectations of Esho by the staff and fans. Where he was projected to be an every-night impact player, he has become a guy who can grab impact rebounds, come up with a big defensive play, and finish fastbreaks with momentum-swinging dunks.
Every team needs a guy like that.
2012-13 Stats: 20.6 minutes, 5.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.2 blocks, 43.3 percent FG

The nuts and bolts of this process are fairly straightforward: After registering for a free Pandora account, the user creates a radio station by naming a band or a performer--say, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Within seconds, a Yeah Yeah Yeahs song will play, followed by bands that meet the Pandora search's criteria for Yeah Yeah Yeahs-esque sonority (in this case, "punk influences and electric-guitar riffs"), with the occasional Yeah Yeah Yeahs track mixed in. Each station you create is saved to your account. If you come back to your account later, each station will contain a whole new selection of songs--most likely by some of the same artists but in a different order. Of course, there is a small price to pay for the service, though it doesn't directly affect your wallet. Graphical ads are pushed throughout your listening interface, though you can always minimize your window to avoid them (more on that later). Another option is to pay for Pandora's ad-free premium service, which costs $12 for three months or $36 per year.
This is an imperfect system, since it's hard--if not impossible--to build a perfect set of "sounds like" algorithms. For instance, creating a station for Gillian Welch will render a plethora of the expected folk/country-tinged singer-songwriter ballads, but annoyingly, almost all of them will be by women. Presumably, a listener who likes Gillian Welch would also like, say, Will Oldham, Bob Dylan, Vic Chestnut, and so on--you get the point. A Pavement station unearths some bands with approaches so far removed from Pavement's detached delivery that it's kind of funny when they show up (New Order?). The success rate is fairly high, however--we did discover several decent new bands and artists, and occasionally, Pandora nails it: A Ghostface Killah station unearthed not just any old hip-hop tracks but a majority of hip-hop from rap's underground/indie artists, since Ghostface rests fairly far outside the mainstream top 40.

Golfing in Mexico's Riviera Nayarit
For those who love the links, few locations compare with the impressive golf courses of the Riviera Nayarit. The area has become known as a premier golfing destination in Mexico and one of the preferred destinations for golfers from around the world. The secret to these courses' success resides in the combination of magnificent surroundings including mountains, tropical forests and beaches, with the incredible design of masters such as Jack Nicklaus, Greg Norman, Jim Lipe, Robert Von Hagge& Baril and Percy Clifford.
Offering six world class golf courses and three more upcoming there's only something else to add:

Yogurt was the focus for some on Dairy Day. Leaders in the industry met for part of the morning to discuss how to continue to grow the industry. It's a follow up to the Governor's yogurt summit. YNN was invited into the meeting. Our Iris St. Meran has more on the ideas discussed.
NEW YORK STATE FAIR -- Day five of the New York State Fair highlighted dairy. In this room, industry leaders met with a focus on yogurt.
Darrel Aubertine, Agriculture and Markets Commissioner, said, "Yogurt is, I believe at this point anyway, one of the fastest growing sectors, the fastest growing products in the dairy industry at this point."
To keep it that way, Commissioner Aubertine is following up on the Governor's Yogurt Summit with this meeting. In the room were processors, producers and representatives from Cornell and Morrisville. This was more of an informational discussion to ask where does New York go from here.
Aubertine said, "Nothing is off the table. And the ideas that we've discussed have ranged from what can we do, cow comfort to new and innovation ideas as far as new products that may be coming online to. How do we deal with waste."
Comptroller Tom DiNapoli was also at the fair. He announced his report regarding agriculture. The report acknowledges yogurt's growth. It said product reach 553 million pounds last year, more than double the amount product in 2008.
DiNapoli said, "When you go to the store, you just see the variety of products now of Greek Style yogurt and New York taking advantage of that opportunity. There's great growth potential there."
With continued discussions, Aubertine says goals will be made and they will look for more collaborative opportunities within this niche market.

The 'mill is a fine tool for staying fit, but it's important to have a plan of action when you hit the machine. Not only will it make the time pass more quickly, but you'll get a greater fitness boost than you would if you did the same type of run every time you went inside. These four workouts from coach Jeff Galloway may have you rethink calling the machine "the dreadmill."
A fresh approach to running will boost your fitness and speed
1. The "Fast 15"
Do this workout when you're pressed for time-it's just 15 minutes long, plus a cool-down walk. Jog for three minutes. Then increase the speed to a faster pace and hold it for two minutes (it's okay if you're huffing and puffing a bit by the end). Walk for 30 seconds. Repeat the two-minute pick up and 30-second walk. Next, extend the run portion to three minutes. Walk for 30 seconds. Repeat. Cool down with a short walk.
2. The Pace Booster
Warm up for six minutes by alternating 30 seconds jogging with 30 seconds walking. Then increase your speed slightly and run for 30 seconds. Walk for 30 seconds. Continue this 30/30 ratio. Increase your speed slightly with each successive run segment. Do as many cycles as you comfortably can. Cool down with a short walk.
5 Great run on the mill workouts
3. The Distance Run
Increase your speed until you're running comfortably. Run for two minutes, then walk for one minute. Repeat this 2:1 ratio three times. Bump up the ratio: Run for three minutes, then walk for one minute. Repeat three times. End the workout by running two 2:1 segments, followed by two 1:1 segments. Cool down with a short walk.
4. The Hill Climb
Gradually increase your speed until you're at easy run pace. Run for three minutes. Raise the incline to 2 percent for one minute, then to 4 for one minute. Lower the incline and rest for one minute. Raise to 4 percent and run for two minutes. Alternate running two minutes at an incline and jogging one minute on the flat for as long as you can. Cool down with a short walk.
What's your favorite treadmill workout? How do you keep boredom at bay on the 'mill?
Susan Rinkunas is an associate editor at Runner's World, a magazine (and website) that informs, advises, and motivates runners of all ages and abilities-and we mean it. Her blog on Yahoo!

- Multiple Dorsoventral Origins of Oligodendrocyte Generation in the Spinal Cord and Hindbrain
Multiple Dorsoventral Origins of Oligodendrocyte Generation in the Spinal Cord and Hindbrain
Neuron, Volume 45, Issue 1, 6 January 2005, Pages 55-67
Anna Vallstedt, Joanna M. Klos and Johan Ericson
SummaryStudies have indicated that oligodendrocytes in the spinal cord originate from a ventral progenitor domain defined by expression of the oligodendrocyte-determining bHLH proteins Olig1 and Olig2. Here, we provide evidence that progenitors in the dorsal spinal cord and hindbrain also produce oligodendrocytes and that the specification of these cells may result from a dorsal evasion of BMP signaling over time. Moreover, we show that the generation of ventral oligodendrocytes in the spinal cord depends on Nkx6.1 and Nkx6.2 function, while these homeodomain proteins in the anterior hindbrain instead suppress oligodendrocyte specification. The opposing roles for Nkx6 proteins in the spinal cord and hindbrain, in turn, appear to reflect that oligodendrocytes are produced by distinct ventral progenitor domains at these axial levels. Based on these findings, we propose that oligodendrocytes derive from several distinct positional origins and that the activation of Olig1/2 at different positions is controlled by distinct genetic programs.

A Role for the Helix-Loop-Helix Protein Id2 in the Control of Oligodendrocyte Development
Neuron, Volume 29, Issue 3, 1 March 2001, Pages 603-614
Songli Wang, Andrei Sdrulla, Jane E Johnson, Yoshifumi Yokota and Ben A Barres
SummaryCompared to neurons, the intracellular mechanisms that control glial differentiation are still poorly understood. We show here that oligodendrocyte lineage cells express the helix-loop-helix proteins Mash1 and Id2. Although Mash1 has been found to regulate neuronal development, we found that in the absence of Mash1 oligodendrocyte differentiation occurs normally. In contrast, we found that overexpression of Id2 powerfully inhibits oligodendrocyte differentiation, that Id2 normally translocates out of the nucleus at the onset of differentiation, and that absence of Id2 induces premature oligodendrocyte differentiation in vitro. These findings demonstrate that Id2 is a component of the intracellular mechanism that times oligodendrocyte differentiation and point to the existence of an as yet unidentified MyoD-like bHLH protein necessary for oligodendrocyte differentiation.

Evidence that Axon-Derived Neuregulin Promotes Oligodendrocyte Survival in the Developing Rat Optic Nerve
Neuron, Volume 28, Issue 1, 1 October 2000, Pages 81-90
Pierre-Alain Fernandez, Dean G. Tang, Lili Cheng, Alain Prochiantz, Anne W. Mudge and Martin C. Raff
SummaryIt was previously shown that newly formed oligodendrocytes depend on axons for their survival, but the nature of the axon-derived survival signal(s) remained unknown. We show here that neuregulin (NRG) supports the survival of purified oligodendrocytes and aged oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) but not of young OPCs. We demonstrate that axons promote the survival of purified oligodendrocytes and that this effect is inhibited if NRG is neutralized. In the developing rat optic nerve, we provide evidence that delivery of NRG decreases both normal oligodendrocyte death and the extra oligodendrocyte death induced by nerve transection, whereas neutralization of endogenous NRG increases the normal death. These results suggest that NRG is an axon-associated survival signal for developing oligodendrocytes.

- Oligodendrocyte progenitors originate near the floor plate of the spinal cord, then proliferate and migrate throughout the cord before giving rise to oligodendrocytes. Progenitor cell proliferation stops before birth because the cell cycle slows down, linked to an increase in differentiation and death. Experiments with transgenic mice show that platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) drives progenitor cell division and suggest that slowing of and exit from the cycle reflects a decline in PDGF signaling. Overexpressing PDGF induces hyperproliferation of progenitor cells and excessive, ectopic production of oligodendrocytes. However, the superfluous oligodendrocytes die at an immature stage of differentiation, leaving a normal complement of myelin-forming cells. Therefore, cell survival controls override proliferation controls for determining the final number and distribution of mature oligodendrocytes.

FLOOD RECOVERY Home by home, neighborhood by neighborhood. That's how Minot will rebuild itself, Mayor Curt Zimbelman said last week at an announcement to kick off the Summer of Hope. Members of the Souris Valley Long Term Recovery Committee put together the project, which will assist 500 to 600 homeowners in the next two years. A $3.5 million grant is helping fund the project, which is getting help and support from Recovery Warehouse, Hope Village, the Unmet Needs Committee, Souris Valley United Way, Minot Area Community Foundation and other faith-based and nonprofit groups in the area. Volunteers from across the country will be in Minot to help flood victims repair and rebuild their damaged homes. Many of the volunteers will be staying at Hope Village, on the grounds of Our Savior Lutheran Church in southwest Minot. The Rev.?Paul?Krueger said between 250 and 300 volunteers are expected per week. It's a grand plan, and the spirit of volunteerism from around the country has been an amazing sight. Minot welcomes the help, which will be crucial in getting hundreds of homeowners and families back into their homes as the city continues to push forward with recovery and protection plans for the future.
NEW STATE FLAG Gov. Jack Dalrymple and Secretary of State Al Jaeger presided over the unveiling of a new, historically accurate North Dakota state flag Thursday. Specifications for the new design were set by lawmakers during the 2011 Legislature, with guidelines to make sure the state flag conforms to the color, form and size of the regimental flag carried by the North Dakota Infantry in the Spanish-American War in 1898 and the Philippine Island Insurrection in 1899. North Dakota adopted its flag in 1911. Does this mean everyone who flies a state flag must buy a new one? We're fans of history, too, but was there an outcry over the design of the former, apparently historically inaccurate, state flag? We didn't know this was an issue, but perhaps it was a personal crusade for some state lawmaker.

The role of government is to "establish justice [not social justice], insure domestic…Read Moretranquil ity [not create a militarized police state where citizens have no privacy], provide for the common defense [of These United States not the world], promote the general welfare [not to take money from Makers and give it to Takers], and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity [not to create a radical egalitarian utopia]. Works pretty much the same with CT's 1965 Constitution "All men when they form a social compact, are equal in rights; and no man or set of men are entitled to exclusive public emoluments or privileges from the community". In short the government is loaned a delineated number powers limited in scope and degree mostly for specific tasks. Taxing Makers to pay for other people's athletic fields, food and housing are not powers granted to the government. But since FDR, Progressive Collectivists have been training the Sheeple that they can't do it on their own. They need government in order to ...... [just about anything]. Join together to build and pay for your own fields. Freely support the poor with individual charity. De Tocqueville writing in Democracy in America observed that, "Americans of all ages, all stations of life and all types of disposition are forever forming associations," he wrote. "There are not only commercial and industrial associations in which all take part, but others of a thousand types-religious, moral, serious, futile, very general and very limited, immensely large and very minute." Stop borrowing money to bribe voters to support the current crop of merry redistributionist in the CGA including Mr. Demicco who has a difficult reelection campaign ahead of him. Patch, can we have some "fair and balance" analysis, story selection, authors, etc. At least you didn't post this one as NEWS so thank you [gotta reinforce the approximation] but you did give it a front page banner and picture. The "I love me" press releases from incumbent Progressives are getting old and we are a long way from November.

According to economist Linda Nazareth, the U.S. population will shift in the next decade from a time-crunch economy of workaholics to a leisure economy of baby boomer retirees and Generation Xers and Yers who have flexible work schedules and more free time. Linda talks with Jean about this phenomenon and her book The Leisure Economy: How Changing Demographics, Economics, and Generational Attitudes Will Reshape Our Lives and Our Industries.
As the number of baby boomers who hit retirement age increases, Linda says golf courses, nature trails and small towns will become major destination spots. At the same time, she says younger generations—who seem to want to follow a different path than their parents and grandparents—may be staying at home with children, traveling the world and working less. "We are already seeing it happen," Linda says. "We have boomers who want to find something else to do besides punch the time clock, and they are trying to figure out whether they have enough money to do that. More importantly, I think we have Gen-X and especially Gen-Yers who are already saying, 'I don't want to live like the boomers—I want [more free] time.'" A result of this new economy will be more baby boomers selling their expensive homes near large cities and moving to areas of the country where the cost of living is lower, Linda says. Also, younger people who want a more leisurely lifestyle will be looking for ways to spend less so they can work less. "I think it could be afforded much more broadly if people started early and said, 'This is what I want…how can I make it happen?'" she says. While all of the positive and negative effects of a leisure economy are not yet known, Linda says it certainly will have an impact on American industries and lifestyles for years to come. |

Wasn't happy with my previous bucket, so the work begins on a fiberglass bucket. The material is a sheet of 1/16 thick fiberglass.
Lookin good so far.
Looking good!!
This reminds me... I really need to make that thread on how I modified the bottom of my WoF template helmet to give it a more screen accurate shape.
Thanx!!! here's a few more pics of progress , plus 1 gauntlet and my trash can armor:jaster
Bucket is looking good! Nice gaunt! Yay trash can armor! :D You ganna do a full beskar'gam or torso?
I plan on full armor plus a custom pauldron
Thanx for the comment:fettesb
Progress pic
Nice! Is that an aluminum or steal dome?
The dome is actually roof flashing aluminum
I found a sheet of 1/16 " acrylic at Lowe's and decided to play around with it. If you layer it , it is pretty manageable.
Lookin good! But you should pm Postmortem01 and ask if it's okay if u haven't yet.
more pics
looks great. i dont have the talent to make helmets...wish i did though:cry
more pics
lookin sweet
a few more pics tonight...
Wow....I'm like a complete noob with all of this, so I might be easily impressed, but I think this is looking really good.
thanx , I am new also, I have wanted to do this for a while now... I just hope everything turns out good.
Don't we all? It'll work out, don't worry. :)
Looks great! Nice 'pack!
Installed temporary visor to help get the shape right when I bondo...
Nice, nice! Keep it up!
love it
finally got back to work
more pics
Nice work!:jaster
That looks really good mate! :cheers
more progress
does anyone have pepakura templates for knee armor?
more pics
More pics will be on the way later today
Oh how I love custom work!
This is a really nice bucket.
thanx here's a few more pics. Been trying to get the greeves the right size.
tooh some halo odst pep files and modded the templates .
Nice ;)
that is one serious looking bucket
more pics , painted the bells and work on rangefinder
more pics ....instead of wookie braids, how about padawan braids?
Hmm me thinks thats a good idea.
Nice! Score one for those Mando's taking down Jetiise.
more pics, the shoulder bells are complete and weathered
rangefinder build is complete, now.... to paint
Still looking fantastic, ner vod. Keep it up
dude I love your bucket... RF looks a little long tho
Your bucket is looking really good.
i thought so too kal, but when folded down it's close to the visor
thanx guys
awesome looking bucket man!!!!!!!!!!!
thanx again
Simply WOW! Thank for sharing this... great to see it all from start to finish!
Kandosii!!! The paint job is amazing! I can't wait to see what you do with the armor. :D
thanx a lot , I've been working on the armor , so I hope to have some paint on this week
love the work specially how its a costume mando but you still stuck with details and realisim by the color choices
Ive seen some custom mandos before that have to much blunt bright colors and don't have detail or realism to them,but your is looking real good
and could be on screen
what did you attach the alumnium with?
sorry guys , guess I should've woke this thread back up instead of starting a new one
pic update
got my voice amp today from the ebay!
got some armor pieces painted up
I really like what youve done with every thing and the new ears are great! your modifictions to the original design of the entire outfit are really working. keep it up
Nice!!! subscribing to this thread
Lookin great! I love the paint job =D
dude I totally overlooked your updates... and I'm saddened because I missed some really great work! Looks like you're really putting the effort in on this thing, that's a LOT of bondo! lol I bet that stuff's heavy, but it'll hold up well. Can't wait to see more, keep up the good work.
yeah it's heavy , the plates are 1/2 inch thick... but I wanted to build it up like a heavy commando or something.
here's a color concept I am going for , any opinions?
I like it. And I know that pose, too... Clones Wars? ;)
THANX! I googled a black and white pic of Boba so I could color it in.
so the roof flashing, was there alot of creasing or did it end up smooth prior to filler?
It was fairly smooth, I resin coated it to help seal it and then threw the bondo to it
working on re-building my knees ...this time from pvc
edit post
if anyone is interested in owning any of these plates, weapons, or soft parts ..pm me and make an offer . Thanks!! chris
180.00 plus shipping for all plates weapons and soft parts
170.00?will part out
I personally think that the Padawon braids adds an awesome touch to the armor
great work.
free parts , hit me up if interested(pouches , kama, and some soft parts , a few armor parts also)
that helmet and armor is awesome, love that thick layer armor, why are you selling, did you rebuild?
yeah , presently working on a rebuild. I still have some stuff left, if you know anyone looking for soft parts.Trying to make some room.

Man faces jail for YouTube video of traffic stop
Have you ever been stopped by a police officer and been tempted to whip out one of your fine portable gadgets and film the encounter?
Perhaps you wanted it for posterity, as a lesson to yourself on your own bad behavior. Perhaps you wanted it for humor because the officer had stopped you for walking down a Bronx street with your underpants showing. Or perhaps the officer was in something of an intolerant mood.
It may have been one of these things that drove Anthony Graber, a staff sergeant in the Maryland Air National Guard, to shoot events that followed … Read more

Three people died in a traffic crash early Saturday in Marion County and the Tennessee Highway Patrol is asking the public's help to find out whether another vehicle was involved.
Nicholas S. Clayton, 20, and Emily F. Clayton, 21, both of Sale Creek, died along with 24-year old Annie E. Blevins, of Chattanooga, according to a THP news release.
They were traveling south on Big Fork Road about 4:20 a.m. Saturday in a 2001 Jeep driven by Eric D. Blevins, 37, the THP release said.
The driver lost control in a curve and overcorrected and the Jeep rolled over. Investigators believe another vehicle may have been involved, according to the release.
The Claytons and Annie Blevins were not wearing seatbelts and were ejected, the release said. Eric Blevins was airlifted to Erlanger hospital where his condition was not immediately available.
Anyone with information is urged to call the THP's Chattanooga office at 423-634-5856.

DEVILS LAKE (AP) - The water board representing counties in the Devils Lake basin has dropped its sponsorship of a proposed floodwater outlet from Stump Lake.
Devils Lake Basin Joint Water Resource Board manager Jeff Frith tells KZZY radio that the move came after the state increased the cost estimate from $17 million to $23.5 million. Frith says the board still favors the idea of the outlet but the local share of the cost would be too high.
Stump Lake has become connected to Devils Lake after two decades of flooding. The proposed Stump Lake outlet would complement outlets on Devils Lake's west and east sides.
State Water Commissioner engineer Bruce Engelhardt tells the Valley City Times-Record that he doesn't immediately know what the local water board's decision will mean for the proposed project.
