Cardiac nuclear imaging allows your physician to check the blood flow through muscle tissue in your heart. To track the blood flow, a small amount of tracer fluid is injected through a vein in your arm. A camera then scans the tracer material in the blood as it flows through your circulatory system. The test, conducted before and during exercise, shows your doctor what part of your heart is not getting sufficient blood flow or the extent of damage to your heart following a heart attack.

DukeMed Magazine
Published: June 21, 2011
Updated: July 29, 2011
Kishore Gadde, MD, director of Duke's obesity clinical trials program, talks about the promising results of a recent multicenter clinical trial that showed a new combination of existing drugs may help some patients who are struggling with obesity.
We showed that a combination of phentermine and topiramate, drugs which are already approved to treat obesity (phentermine) and migraine and epilepsy (topiramate), achieves about 19 more pounds of weight loss than placebo -- or up to a 10 percent weight loss -- in obese people over the course of one year.
The participants who took the combo also showed significant improvements in blood pressure, blood sugar measurements (hemoglobin A1C), cholesterol, triglycerides, and inflammatory markers, including C-reactive protein.
The drug combo appears to be more effective than orlistat, which is the only drug currently available for the long-term treatment of obesity.
Meta-analysis studies have shown that treatment with orlistat, at maximum strength, can lead to approximately seven-pound greater weight loss than placebo after one year.
We believe it works mainly by reducing hunger and increasing satiety. Phentermine increases the release of norepinephrine, a brain chemical that may influence hunger and satiety.
Topiramate has numerous mechanisms of action including effects on sodium channels, glutamate and GABA transmission, and carbonic anhydrase inhibition, although the mechanism responsible for weight loss is not clearly known.
There may also be an independent effect on glucose control: More patients on placebo developed diabetes during one year than patients who were on the combination drug. More patients on the combination drug were also able to reduce the number of their diabetes and blood pressure medicines.
In March, the FDA issued a warning regarding the use of topiramate during pregnancy, stating that pregnant women who take the drug are at increased risk of having babies born with cleft lip or cleft palate.
Thirty-four women became pregnant while in Qnexa clinical trials, and no birth defects were reported for the babies born -- but pregnant women would not be candidates for use of this drug; there is no reason for women to use weight loss drugs while they are pregnant or trying to become pregnant.
Topiramate has also been associated with memory problems and mood changes, including depression and anxiety, and we did see a dose-specific increase in depression and anxiety during the study.
Though the overall incidence of these events was relatively small, it's still something to consider in terms of which patients are good candidates for this formulation.
This kind of weight loss, coupled with significant reductions in heart and metabolic risk factors, could be an important advancement in the management of obesity.
Two-thirds of Americans are overweight or obese, and for obese patients who have failed to achieve meaningful weight loss with diet and exercise, we have just one available drug -- orlistat -- to try before jumping to bariatric surgery. We need more treatment options that work via different mechanisms.
The 56-week, phase 3 study was conducted in 93 U.S. centers with 2,487 patients who had a BMI of 27 to 45, and two or more comorbidities such as diabetes, hypertension, and high triglycerides.
Patients in the study also received diet and exercise advice in addition to the drugs.The study was published in April in Lancet. Gadde was a paid consultant to Vivus until 2008.

Obstructed View:
The other day The Hardball Times wrote that Alfonso Soriano is not overpaid. I'm a big fan of anyone who doesn't talk about Soriano in a way that makes him seem like he's a lazy, overpaid player. However, THT relied on fWAR, which uses UZR as its defensive metric. His 2007 UZR is so high that my iPad probably won't let me type it out. It's ridiculous to think his defense was that valuable just as it's ridiculous to think that Darwin Barney's DRS this season is in any way realistic. It isn't and it wasn't for Soriano either.
fWAR has Alfonso Soriano being worth 18.7 wins since he signed his 8-year contract. On the other hand, Baseball Prospectus' version, WARP, has him at only 12.3. Baseball Reference's version, what we usually call rWAR, has him at just 5.8.
By using fWAR, The Hardball Times reached the right conclusion, but if we use either of the other versions it's not even close to true. BPro's WARP is right in the middle of th...

Across the nation crime is of concern to citizens in cities, suburbs, towns, and rural areas. Increasingly, citizens and law enforcement professionals realize that neither one can eradicate crime working separately. Neighbors and other concerned citizens, working cooperatively with law enforcement, can have a positive effect. Home burglaries, in particular, can be minimized when community residents take steps to make their homes less attractive and vulnerable to burglars. Burglary, the unlawful entry of a structure to commit a felony or theft, is generally considered a crime against property. It has, however, a high potential for death or injury to the victim who comes into surprise contact with the intruder. Through the well recognized concept of NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH, a communitybased program supported by the National Sheriffs' Association since 1972, residents of thousands of communities across the nation have discovered that they can make a difference in preventing crime.
Ask anyone whose home has been burglarized … the shock and helpless anger accompanying the discovery that an intruder has entered one's home will not easily be forgotten. The damage may be minimal or major, the losses slight or catastrophic. The incident may or may not have involved injury to a family member—yet one hard fact remains: another statistic has been added to the ever-growing list of burglarized homes. The burglar won again—and has no doubt vanished, leaving no real clue to lead to his arrest.Chances are good that a home burglarized today is located in a neighborhood where one vital prevention tool is missing: an active NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH group. This community-based organization of citizens working together with law enforcement has become the key to preventing burglary and crime nationwide.The National Sheriffs' Association created the National NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH Program in 1972, with financial assistance from the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration, to unite law enforcement agencies, private organizations, and individual citizens in a massive effort to reduce residential crime. A work plan emerged for use by sheriffs, police, and citizens for putting together local neighborhood-based programs. Since its establishment, NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH has developed thousands of such local residential crime prevention programs in which individual citizens work to 1) make their own homes and families less inviting targets for crime, and 2) cooperate with law enforcement through block and neighborhood groups to control crime throughout the community.The prevention of crime—particularly crime involving residential neighborhoods—is a responsibility that must be shared equally by law enforcement and private citizens. The fact is, the impact on crime prevention by law enforcement alone is minimal when compared with the power of private citizens working with law enforcement and with each other. NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH is based on this concept of cooperation, and nationwide statistics prove that it works. When citizens take positive steps to secure their own property and neighbors learn how to report suspicious activity around their homes, burglary and related offenses decrease dramatically.
You've heard about the benefits of NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH participation. You suspect—or know—that there is a crime problem in your area. How do you get a program started in your neighborhood?Form a small planning committee of neighbors to discuss needs, the level of interest, and possible problems.Contact the Washington County VA Sheriff's Office (276) 676-6000. Request that a crime prevention officer come to a meeting of your group in the near future to discuss NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH and help assess your community's problems and needs. Contact the Sheriff's Office 10 to 14 days in advance and inform officials of the date and place of the first meeting.

Hotel industry experts offer a
bleak snapshot of meeting activity in Orlando and Las Vegas.
When Meeting Professionals International first brought a panel of industry experts together for a frank discussion on the meetings market last August at its World Education Congress, concern about the economy dominated the conversation. But no one knew then just how bad things would get.
The same panelists — Michael Beardsley, CEO of InnFluent LLC; Vincent LaRuffa, vice president of resort sales and marketing for Universal Orlando Resort; and Chris Meyer, CEM, CMP, vice president of convention sales for the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority — reconvened in Atlanta in February during MPI's MeetDifferent conference to discuss just how much had changed.
Betsy Bondurant, CMP, CMM, president of Bondurant Consulting and moderator of the session, said, "When we met last August the industry was completely different. There was concern about a slowing economy but, frankly, we didn't have a clue."
In the past few months, factors such as the "AIG effect" (meeting cutbacks due to perception concerns) and proposed government oversight of meeting spend have coupled with the recession to create "the perfect storm," said Orlando's LaRuffa.
As one of the country's most popular meeting destinations, Orlando is a snapshot of the industry as whole, he added. Unfortunately, that snapshot is pretty bleak. While 2008 was a record year for group cancellations in Orlando, 2009 cancellations are on pace to exceed 2008 levels, he said. The cancellations are coming almost exclusively from the corporate market. Making matters worse, "we have 4,500 rooms coming into the luxury segment in 2009 and 2010," LaRuffa said.
The Orlando market is not as dire as Las Vegas, however. "I wish we had only 4,500 rooms coming [online] in Vegas," said the LVCVA's Meyer. "We have 13,000 rooms opening this year."
Las Vegas has felt the brunt of perception-based cancellations stemming from negative press aimed at companies receiving government bailout funds. "Besides the AIG effect, we now have the Wells Fargo effect to go with it," said Meyer.
One bright spot for planners: better concessions. Items such as Internet access, meeting room rental fees, and food and beverage are all up for negotiation in this economy, said the panelists. Hoteliers are also willing to be more flexible on attrition and cancellation terms.
So far, this buyer's market has done little to boost group sales. Hotel occupancy dropped 8 percent in the past three months, according to Smith Travel Research. "We are actually seeing occupancy rates declining in the double digits," added LaRuffa. "If we are not the cheerleaders for the industry, then who is? But I am having a hard time getting my pom-poms in the air."
Marriott Adds Planner Training
Marriott International launched a new online training program for third-party meeting planners called Meetings Excellence!, which earns planners certification as a "Marriott Meeting Professional." The course is part of the Marriott Group Partners Web site, started last fall, which allows group travel intermediaries to monitor their commission payments due from Marriott as well as their future bookings. In 2007, Marriott centralized its group commission payments.
Planners are not required to take the course in order to use these Web tools, but completion of the program allows them to take advantage of discounted "Plan-Tastic" familiarization rates, earns them continuing education credits toward the Convention Industry Council's Certified Meeting Professional designation, and gets them on a list to receive news and promotions from Marriott.

By Jamie Dupree
Democrats are considering plans to add a new long-term care for seniors program to the health reform legislation now in the Congress, but the move could actually cost them some votes.
The issue is what's known as the CLASS Act, a bill backed by the late Sen. Edward Kennedy, designed to help seniors and the disabled get long term care outside of nursing homes.
One issue is the money that would flow into the plan from premiums paid to the federal government. A budget analysis shows the insurance plan would be solvent, bringing in an extra $73 billion over 10 years.
In other words, you could use that kind of budget number to help "pay" for health reform, by including it in the health reform legislation.
But the worry of some Democrats is that it will become a big time budget hole in the future.
"What I want to make sure is that people aren't paying money into a long term program, that will then be taken and used to pay for other things," said Sen. Evan Bayh (D-IN).
"I want to make sure we are not setting up another unfunded situation that could really explode the deficit," Bayh said, adding that he had directly warned Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid about his concerns.
So add this issue to the public option, abortion, coverage for illegal immigrants, cost containment and more.
As I like to say, you can't have just one contoversy in a 1,000 page bill.

A groundbreaking ceremony was held Wednesday for Elmwood of Fremont's new, skilled-nursing and memory care addition.
Sneak peak at Elmwood of Fremont's new, skilled-nursing and memory care addition.
"This will be a state-of-the-art facility," said Kathy Hunt, owner and CEO of Elmwood Communities. "We have spent countless hours designing every corner of this anticipated masterpiece…Our focus is to keep it resident- and community-centered."
Hunt said the new addition will be a 43,510 square foot, single-story structure and will feature 30 private, skilled-nursing suites and a Reminiscence Neighborhood, with 18 private Alzheimer's and Dementia suites. It will be located on the west side of the existing facility.
In addition to the private rooms, there will be an activity room, guest lounge, living room, ice cream parlor and juice bar, hair salon, and a spa. Both communities – skilled-nursing and memory care – will have their own dining room.

Apple Training and Certification
Hi there,
I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this but I'm interested in doing Apple Training and Certification in a few different areas of interest... I am a long time Logic user and want to do the Logic Pro 301 Course as well as the Train the Trainer course. I am also interested in some Mac OS, Server Admin and Deployment stuff, Video, as well as possibly further study. I am in Sydney, Australia but am prepared to travel anywhere to find the best possible place that offers all these things. Is there anywhere in particular that's really good to go. I'm interested in somewhere focused and fast paced that I can spend weeks of solid work getting this done preferably with good facilities and great teachers. What's available that you guys know about??? |

Apple has a training and certification website (name escapes me) that will link you to places that offer such training close to where you are. I imagine there are at least one or two such places in Sydney. Not sure if you are anywhere near an Apple Store or a privately owned store that sells/specializes in Apple stuff, but they also might know of a local certification training center. That's where I'd start.

Yeh I checked out the Apple pages and their listing of Training Centres.
The problem is that there isn't really much offering where I am for the more advanced sort of things I'm interested in doing. But perhaps overseas there are bigger places that offer more of the stuff I'm looking for under one roof? Was really wanting to know if anyone could recommend somewhere specific, some of the bigger places, or share any experiences they may have had... |

There are a few places around the US that offer what you want. Here are two that offer some or all of the training. I am on the same track though mostly only for the IT stuff.

We've been thinking a bit about how we can bring the community together, and we've come up with a few ideas. The first one we'd like to run past you all (we want your feedback on these, it's important that whatever we do works for a lot of people so we don't waste everyone's time) is an idea that our IT lead came up with.
We wonder if there is any interest in a Libertarian Fishing Trip.
Unlike our day jobs where we are in the office much of the time, thinking deeply, writing, researching, and generally unaware of the world around us (we're all guilty of this…it's sad but we must take responsibility and do something about it!), this fishing trip could be an opportunity to reacquaint ourselves with nature. Without a firm basis in reality, and without respect for the earth and the great outdoors, we can lose perspective and start getting more and more off track until we ourselves, and our policy proposals, are not grounded in reality.
This is something we must not let happen if we are to remain a formidable force moving forwards.
Whether you are a veteran fisherman like Ken, our IT lead, or have never even thought about going fishing (like most of us in the office), we would love to hear what you have to say. Us novices actually think it's a great idea for the reasons mentioned above, and also because it's outside of our comfort zone, and because it gets us all together on a somewhat individual, but still somewhat team-based exercise. We can all go at our own pace, fish however much we want, but helping each other with tips and tricks and hopefully when we catch something (fingers crossed!).
What would you need?
We'd like to have a bit of buy in from people. Although we as a group will cover most of the costs, we'd love to ensure you are firmly committed by making a $25 contribution to our group. By doing this, you are helping us continue on our work, but you're also showing that you are committed to doing this, and not just along for a ride that you don't put any effort into.
Things like rods, reels, bait, fish finding sonar devices (we're thinking of getting a few of these ones…what do you think?), will all be provided by us.
You'll need:
- Appropriate clothing and footwear for any weather
- Snacks (we'll provide lunch)
- Water (preferably a lot of it, though we'll have extras)
- To be able to make it to a meet up within 100 miles of you (we're hoping to do a few of these so more people can show up without having to travel across the country)
If this sounds like something you're interested in, please let us know.
We'll want to do this in the late Spring, so just a few months from now. If we get the feedback we're hoping for, we'll start to put things in motion and buy the equipment we'll need. Also let us know when you contact us how far you'd be willing to go to get to a meet up, and we'll try to arrange car pooling and buses that people can share costs of.

< Return To Hearing
The Honorable Patrick LeahySeptember 19, 2002
Statement Of Chairman Patrick Leahy Today we have on the agenda additional presidential nominees. We have already voted on 82 judicial nominees in less than 15 months, including 17 circuit court nominees, and reported 80 favorably to the Senate. In the less than 15 months since the change in majority the summer of 2001, we have held hearings for 90 of President Bush's judicial nominees. That is more judicial nominees given hearings and more judicial nominees voted on by the Committee than during the last 30 months in which a Republican majority controlled the Senate. We have considered more judicial nominees in less than half the time. Our Committee has worked diligently since the change in majority last summer to consider more than 250 of the President's nominees. The Senate has already confirmed 77 judicial nominations of President George W. Bush's. Three more have been voted out of Committee and are awaiting a vote by the full Senate. Eight more have participated in hearings and are being schedule for Committee consideration. We have already confirmed more of President Bush's nominees in less than 15 months than were confirmed in the last 30 months that a Republican majority controlled the Senate. We have done more in half the time. We have also already confirmed more of President Bush's judicial nominations since July 2001 than were confirmed in all of 1989 and 1990, the first two full years of the term of his father President George H.W. Bush. We have worked hard to restore fairness to the judicial confirmation process. Republicans delayed and defeated through inaction scores of judicial nominees. Too many languished for months and as long as 4 years before they were returned without a hearing or without a vote. Some were finally confirmed after 4 years of delay. We have made significant progress in that regard. We are considering more judicial nominees and doing so faster than before. Further, in less than 15 months, we have voted on more of President Bush's district and circuit court nominees than were voted on in the first 15 months of any of the past three Presidents. Moreover, we have voted on more nominees in less than 15 months than were voted on in the first 15 months of Presidents Reagan and George H.W. Bush combined, or Presidents George H.W. Bush and Clinton combined. By many measures, the Committee has achieved almost twice as much these last 15 months as Republicans averaged per year during their control of the Senate. We have achieved what we said we would by treating President Bush's nominees more fairly and more expeditiously than President Clinton's nominees were treated Advice and consent does not mean giving the President carte blanche to pack the courts with ideologues from the right or left. The system of checks and balances in our Constitution does not give the power to make lifetime appointments to one person alone to pack the courts with judges whose views are outside of the mainstream and whose decisions would further divide our nation. I have tried to work with the White House on judicial nominations. I have gone out of my way to encourage them to work in a bipartisan way with the Senate, like past Presidents, but, in all too many instances, they have chosen to forego bipartisanship cooperation. These are the only lifetime appointments in our system of government, and they matter a great deal to our future. We are moving quickly, but responsibly, to fill judicial vacancies with qualified nominees we hope will be fair and not activist. We are doing our best to address the 110 judicial vacancies we inherited and the 43 that have arisen since the summer of 2001. We have a record of achievement and of fairness. With little in the way of cooperation from the White House, we have nonetheless filed more than half of the judicial vacancies that have occurred through the last year. With just a bit of cooperation from the White House we could already have reduced vacancies to the level Senator Hatch liked to refer to as "full employment" on the federal judiciary. We hope to reduce vacancies even further before we complete our work this year. I thank the members who have worked cooperatively with me to make progress over the last year.
Statement of Senator Patrick Leahy, I am pleased that the Committee is considering the "Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act," S. 2480, which permits current and retired law enforcement officers to carry a firearm and be prepared to assist in dangerous situations. I am proud that 36 Senators - including Committee Members Thurmond, McConnell, Edwards, Feinstein, Grassley, Sessions, Brownback, Cantwell, DeWine and Kyl - have joined me and Senator Hatch to cosponsor this bill in an effort to make our communities safer and better to protect law enforcement officers and their families. At the Committee's hearing on July 23 on this bill, we heard from many representatives of the law enforcement community, including the Fraternal Order of Police, the National Association of Police Officers, the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association, and the International Brotherhood of Police Officers, that national legislation is necessary because of the current patchwork of state and local conceal-carry laws. I have also received letters of support for S. 2480 from a variety of Vermont law enforcement officials, including Chief Osburn Glidden of Williston, Officer Wade Johnson of Hinesburg, Chief Trevor Whipple of Barre, and Sergeant Mike Manning and Sergeant David Yustin of the Vermont State Police. I introduced this measure as a companion to H.R. 218, sponsored by Representative Randy "Duke" Cunningham, who joined us at the July 23 hearing to testify on the bill's behalf. The House bill has garnered 270 cosponsors from both sides of the aisle. In both the House and the Senate there is strong bipartisan support for this legislation. Our bipartisan bill addresses this need by establishing national measures of uniformity and consistency to permit law enforcement officers to respond immediately to a crime when off duty, as well as to protect officers and their families from vindictive criminals. There are approximately 740,000 sworn law enforcement officers currently serving in the United States. Since the first recorded police death in 1792, there have been more than 16,200 law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty. A total of 1,809 law enforcement officers died in the line of duty over the last decade, an average of 181 deaths per year. In 2001 alone, there were 232 police deaths, representing a 49 percent increase from the 156 officers who died in 2000. Roughly 5 percent of officers who die are killed taking law enforcement action while in an off duty capacity. On average, more than 62,000 law enforcement officers are assaulted each year, resulting in some 21,000 injuries. The Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act of 2002 is designed to protect officers and their families from vindictive criminals and to allow thousands of equipped, trained and certified law enforcement officers, whether on or off duty or retired, to carry concealed firearms in most situations, thus enabling them to respond immediately to a crime. Off-duty and retired officers should be permitted to carry their firearms across State and other jurisdictional lines, at no cost to taxpayers, in order better to serve and protect our communities. Our bill would permit qualified law enforcement officers and qualified retired law enforcement officers across the nation to carry concealed firearms in most situations. It also preserves, however, any State law that permits citizens from restricting a concealed firearm on private property and preserves any State law that restricts the possession of a firearm on State or local government property. To qualify for the bill's uniform standards a law enforcement officer must be authorized to use a firearm by the law enforcement agency where he or she works, be in good standing with that agency, and meet any standards established by that agency to regularly qualify to use a firearm. A qualified retired law enforcement officer under the bill must have retired in good standing, been employed at least five years as a law enforcement officer unless forced to retire due to a service-related injury, have a non-forfeitable right to benefits under the law enforcement agency's retirement plan, and annually complete a State-approved firearms training course. As a result, our bipartisan legislation maintains the State or local jurisdiction's power to determine whether a law enforcement officer or retired law enforcement officer is qualified in the use of a firearm. As a former State prosecutor, I know that law enforcement officers are never "off-duty." They are dedicated public servants trained to uphold the law and keep the peace. When there is a threat to our public safety, law enforcement officers are sworn to answer that call. The Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act enables law enforcement officers in Vermont and across the nation to be armed and prepared when they answer that call, no matter where, when, or in what form it comes. I hope that we can consider and pass this legislation to make our communities safer and better to protect law enforcement officers and their families without delay. |


text: ON THE COVER: The linear DNA in eukaryotic chromosomes creates two main problems associated with the presence of DNA ends in the nucleus. One problem, the end-replication problem, is due to the inability of the DNA-replication machinery to copy linear DNA to the very end. The second problem, the end-protection problem, is due to the presence of the DNA-damage-response pathways that detect and repair DNA ends. These problems are solved by telomeres, specialized DNA protein complexes at the ends of chromosomes. Telomeres were first observed in Tetrahymena by Elizabeth Blackburn in 1978 (J. Mol. Biol. 120, 33–53), but it was many years before researchers truly recognized their widespread importance. In 1988, Bob Moyzis demonstrated the repeat structure of telomeres at the end of human chromosomes (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 85, 6622–6626). The DNA in telomeres is maintained by telomerase, but because telomerase is absent in most normal human cells, telomeres shorten with cell divisions, and this shortening leads to senescence and aging. On the cover are four partial metaphases from FISH experiments in BJ normal human fibroblasts in which the chromosomes are colored red and the telomeres are colored green. Special thanks to Dr. Megan van Overbeek and Dr. Titia de Lange, Rockefeller University, for the images.

RMS Rhone
Salt Island, British Virgin Islands
I approach the wreck my favorite way - head-down, no hand on the line, free-falling slowly through the steadily darkening sea. Below me, an amorphous oblong form begins to take shape. Details soon emerge.
The ship lies on its starboard side, the bow amazingly intact. Its hull has collapsed somewhat through the years, giving it considerably less than half the 40-foot beam that it once enjoyed. My dive light picks out a few planks of the original teak decking, still there after nearly a century and a half underwater.
Such preservation would be remarkable were this an old warship; the thick hulls of naval vessels, built to withstand shells and torpedoes, usually weather best on the seafloor. But this is no battleship. These are the remains of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company's onetime flagship RMS Rhone, a 310-foot freight-and-passenger vessel powered by both sail and steam. Like the Titanic 45 years later, the Rhone was considered unsinkable, a ship that represented the apex of 19th-century marine technology when it went to the bottom in a hurricane, just two years after its christening.
The Rhone was salvaged in the years following its sinking, yet vestiges of its era remain in and around the wreck. A signal cannon lies next to the hull and, on the scattered stern, divers can marvel at the huge driveshaft, cast screw, porthole from cabin No. 26 (burnished by passing divers rubbing it for luck) and possibly the wreck's most-famous artifact - a silver teaspoon embedded in the coral encrusting the hull.
But, while the Rhone's longevity and artifacts are, themselves, reason enough to travel to the Virgin Islands to dive it, the "wow" factor in this wreck comes in its decoration. Plate and tube sponges, wire, brain and encrusting corals, anemones and more - it's safe to say that the Rhone is the single-most beautifully decorated wreck in the Caribbean, a masterpiece 141 years in the making.
More than a century ago, the Rhone transitioned from wreck to reef, and like a reef, has long since attracted a resident population. When 19th-century hardhat diver Jeremiah Murphy was salvaging the wreck just three years after the Rhone went down, he reported that a huge, but shy, goliath grouper had already taken up residence on the ship. And when I last dived the Rhone this past spring, I suddenly got that you're-being-followed feeling, and turned around to find myself mask-to-face with - you guessed it - a goliath grouper, presumably the great-great-great-great-great-grandchild of Murphy's long-ago dive buddy.
Other Rhone residents include crabs, eels, squirrelfish and legions of snappers that like to hide in the shadows under the foremast. A huge and amazingly blue lobster, nicknamed "Lobzilla," has lived on the wreck for as long as it has been visited on scuba. There's also a resident turtle that practically preens for still and video cameras, and French angelfish that will happily take visitors for a pirouette or two.
The Rhone sank in seconds and practically lies at the foot of Black Rock Point, the obstruction on which the great ship broke its back. Dive operators from both the British Virgin and the United States Virgin islands visit regularly, and operators running more than one boat at a time will often greet customers with the question, "Reef or Rhone?"
If you've not visited it before, by all means, answer, "Rhone." Yes, this is the most-popular dive in the Virgins. But it holds that distinction for good reason. You'll be glad you paid the visit.
Quick Guide:
The BVI Scuba Organization (bviscuba.org) is a coalition of nine land-based dive operators and two live-aboard dive operations, including Blue Water Divers, Sail Caribbean Divers, Dive BVI and Cuan Law live-aboard. They all offer services that complement one another, and all provide visitors with a variety of dive-trip options, while vigorously representing the interests of diving and the underwater environment. Dive resorts include Paradise Watersports at Peter Island Resort (peterisland.com) and Dive Tortola at Long Bay Beach Resort & Villas (eliteislands.com). Check out Caribbean Dive Vacations (caribbeandivevacations.com) for a selection of dive travel-package options. For more information on the BVI, visit bvitourism.com.

Hi Everyone,
My iphone was broken during a Mexican fiesta so i decided to buy an ipad.
The fact is I don't use the phone as much as email and networking, so I looked around for a good deal and found an iPad at a downtown distributor for $745.
It's a 64GB 3G, which came in a sealed box. I upgraded to 4.2.1 immediately.
Also, I found instructions online to hack, literally, my old iPhone SIM card and chop it to a MicroSIM and made it fit into the new iPad slot and was able to recover my prepaid airtime off the old phone, which I sold next door to the Mac place
I'm quite happy, learning about optimizing the battery and stuff like that.
I will be traveling to Europe next month and will be researching 3G coverage.
Wishing everyone happy new year,

Restoring the West Conference 2013
Change Agents and Managing for Forest Resilience
October 16-17, 2013, Eccles Conference Center - Utah State University, Logan, Utah
Management of forests in the West is occurring in the face of changing climate and shifting disturbance factors like bark beetles and fire. In some locations aspen stands are declining and bark beetles are causing large-scale conifer mortality. The 2013 Restoring the West Conference will bring scientists, landowners, and managers together to focus on using science and policy to manage for increased forest resilience as we confront a variety of change agents. There will be two days of plenary sessions and a poster session. Poster submissions are requested.
The conference will go on in spite of any federal government shutdown. There may be some changes in the agenda depending on availability of speakers.
Pre-conference Reception for Western Aspen Alliance members Oct. 15, 5:30-8:00 p.m. at the Caine House.

Scars of Dracula (2001) Horror Movie Review
Horror movies Review
Be advised that the version of "Scars Of Dracula" that Amazon is currently selling is an expurgated release that misleads the customer with its cover art. This has a single disc and the featured film only, and the other with 2 amazing music videos and the "Faces Of Christopher Lee" documentary that made this an attractive collectible has been removed, in spite of what the packaging still claims. The lobby card art is also missing inside, so buyer, beware. "Scars Of Dracula" isn't bad as a latter entry in the Lee Dracula canon. It's spoiled slightly, though, by jarringly fake and excessive gore, with regrettably gratuitous sadism. Christopher Lee felt similarly, as optional on-screen commentary attests. My rating here's for the chopped-up reissue.
About Scars of Dracula (2001)
Year: 2001
Starring: Christopher Lee, Dennis Waterman, Jenny Hanley, Christopher Matthews, Patrick Troughton
Runtime: 95 minutes
Director: Roy Ward Baker

Recipe by beth plouff
"A quick fondant. If you want colored fondant, add a dash of food coloring and knead."
Watch video tips and tricks
1/2 cup butter
2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
6 cups confectioners' sugar, or more as needed
1 dash vanilla extract
This is a fantastic fondant. It has a great flavor! Thanks for the recipe :D
The fondant was very dry. It was so dry that I was unable to roll is smooth and move it. The whole point to fondant is for a smooth look. So even though it tasted good, I am giving it a low rating. This was my first attempt at fondant. So maybe I was part of the problem. Next time, I will try a different recipe.
8 Ratings
I tried this out for the first time trying to decorate a cake and the 6 cups of confectioners sugar is a little off i had to add 7 1/2 cups and im having to go to the store for more sugar so watch out on that other than that its good
WAY to sweet. when I tried rolling it out, it was fall apart. Not the best.
I wanted quick and easy fondant and I guess this is what I get. It wasn't very good and I think I'll do the hard kind of fondant next time.
I loved it but for me it was pretty sticky :)
it falls apart to easy!
Very good alternative to the typical marshmallow fondant I make. Easy to work with and not too sweet tasting!!! Will only use this recipe to cover the cake........Marshmallow fondant still my go to for bows, ribbons and forming flowers.........only because I don't think this recipe would hold its shape or dry as well due to the butter and milk...

My Christmas Cakes are in the oven so it is the start of baking now. The house smells so good last night I set the fruit in the rum and brandy so it smelled yummy this morning. I don't do a lot of baking but have a few that are must haves and will get them done this week.
Isn't that the problem when you start out early and get all proud that you beat the rusth ? Now I went out & saw my favourite treats. From Harry & David.
This place in USA - they don't deliver to Canada but I always find some of their packed goods at Winners. So here I go picking up:
Chocolate covered cashews for a friend
Moose Munch for another
Chocolate truffles
Raspberry chocolates
Chocolate covered blueberries.
Chocolate macadamia nuts etc...
I have finished two containers already !!!
The joys of being early. Now watch, I will rush out in Dec. to get more & will not be able to find them !!
This is the 4th year that three friends and I got together to do Christmas baking. We get together at one of our houses, each of us makes two things, and then we split everything evenly between us. We just about have it down to a science now -- today we even had enough time to eat pizza for lunch and play Rock Band while the last couple of things cooled :)
Unfortunately, hubby has gotten into one of the containers of cookies and there's a lot less in it now that there was when I got home :eek: No way are they going to last till Christmas -- or at this rate, tomorrow!! :rolleyes:
i dont normally do alot of baking at xmas.(suzi homemaker im not) My girlfriend would come over with her daughter and along myself and our three daughters we would do a craft and baking day with the kids. Then life got crazy and the girls got older and we stopped doing this day. However, tonight i bought some stuff and the girls made some tree ornaments and they really had fun doing it and now they want to bake, so i guess i need to get some recipes out and see what they would like to do. BTW, i love xmas cake, my girlfriend use to make it and always brought us over some.MMMMMM
My MIL finished her Christmas cakes in October...right after Thanksgiving. Marks the beginning of the Christmas season, doesn't it....and they have always been a real treat at our home. I have never made them myself....I guess I should start :)

Pros: Simple little mouse. Works great on my linux machines Cons: Causes a bluescreen on windows 8 when plugged in. Which is a pretty good party trick really Did you find this review helpful? |
Price is rightPros: Cheap Cons: Not the best for anything besides basic computer use. Other Thoughts: It's cheap and that's about it. I got it thinking that I wouldn't care about the quality of the peripherals I was using, but I ended up replacing this within a couple months. I don't play many games, but FPS don't jive well with this, and one shouldn't expect it to. Did you find this review helpful? |
IT TechPros: Worked great for about a week. Cons: After a week mouse does not send any signals. bought this as a keyboard/mouse combo from fry's. worth the note to all. pixxo products suck. i have always been a logitech fan and will never leave them again. newegg always rocks. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Pros: nice Cons: none Did you find this review helpful? |
SucksPros: Usable with either hand Cons: Constantly goes into power save mode Other Thoughts: The mouse is nice enough, but the USB adapter is stupidly small and easily lost if not in the computer at all times. Did you find this review helpful? |
Awesome while it lastedPros: -Smooth movement Cons: -Broke in 2 weeks. Other Thoughts: Bought two of these guys, they were awesome while they lasted. After about a week one mouse started losing its link to the transmitter every hour or so. Had to pull it out and put it back in to get the mouse to move again. Eventually it gave out completely - Paperweight. Did you find this review helpful? |
EasyPros: Small, simple, versatile, mobile, easy on the batteries. Cons: Every now and then it, after sleep mode, the mouse doesn't want to come to life. You just have to unplug the little receiver and plug it back in again. Not enough to lose and egg. Other Thoughts: I bought 7 of these for 12 bucks per. I see that now its listed as being $19 and comes with a "free" mouse-pad. I'm sure the freebee has nothing to do with the increased price... Don't let that gimic sway your decision. Maybe wait for the price to go back down. Did you find this review helpful? |
Ok while it lasted...Pros: Looks nice, comfortable and easy to use. Cons: The mouse died after a few months of light use. I bought a Logitech M505 (red) to replace it. That one's SO much nicer, and hasn't died yet. Worth the extra few bucks. I bought it on sale for $25 at my local office supply store... Other Thoughts: I'm going to return the mouse to Pixxo for a replacement, and use it on my laptop at work. Hopefully the replacement will last longer... Did you find this review helpful? |
DisappointedPros: - Small (unit & dongle) Cons: - Cheaply built Other Thoughts: I was impressed for the first couple weeks, but the mouse is slowly but surely dying. I find myself left and right clicking multiple times for it to respond and it skips moving the cursor sometimes. I've gone through a few pairs of batteries already. Cheap plastic. Did you find this review helpful? |
Great mouse for the money.Pros: This mouse is pretty good, very responsive and accurate and most importantly it turns off automatically when not in use for some time, so it saves battery when typing or away from the computer. Also on the way back a click of a button will immediately wake it up and it will start working without a hitch. Cons: None except that it can be deceiving at first sight for that it's construction might seem not too durable, so I bought my first at local store, this way I could easily return it in case I didn't like it, however, so far so good and this one I bought at Newegg is my second :-) Other Thoughts: I would definitely recommend this mouse. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful.

Gluten-Free Super Bowl Cake & Football Player Cookies
Categories: All, Cakes, Cookies, Desserts, Recipes
Tags: , Baltimore Ravens, Dairy Free, Decorated Cake, Football Food, Gluten-Free Gingerbread Men, Gluten-Free Party Food, Super Bowl Desserts, Super Bowl Food, Vegan
It's the Super Bowl, and even if you can't get to the big game, there's no reason not to celebrate the occasion in the best possible way: with cake & cookies!
Jules' Scratch 2-Layer Cake Recipe OR easy Jules Gluten Free Cake Mix!
This gluten-free cake is delicious but also remarkably easy to cut and shape into anything you like. It's also dense enough to hold any shape, but so yummy it will still fool all the gluten-eaters in your midst!
To make this cake into a football shape, use two 7-inch round cake pans (both the scratch recipe AND the Jules Cake Mix easily make a two layer cake or 9×13 cake — don't settle for those "other" GF mixes that only make one layer!!). The cakes will be thicker in the smaller pan, and may need to bake for a bit longer. To test the cakes for doneness, insert a cake tester or toothpick in the middle of each cake and be sure it comes out clean. The cakes will also begin to pull away slightly from the sides of the pans. Add time if necessary to fully bake the cakes.
Carve the cooled cakes into whatever shapes you like, and attach pieces of cake (like the football, above, to the turf, with toothpicks or wooden skewers for support). The frosting makes the cake, so don't skimp! Homemade frosting is easy, inexpensive, and not preservative-laden. Plus, following my recipe, you'll be able to smooth the frosted cake just like a professional!
Buying ready-made frosting in a can may look like the perfect shortcut, but those frostings can be difficult to spread on a cake, and tend to pull the crumbs off and into the frosting.
If you really want to use the ready-made kind though, I'd recommend making cupcakes – they'll turn out just fine. Companies which have some frostings not containing gluten include Pillsbury and Betty Crocker (but always check labels!).
For more themed cake ideas, check out my instructions for other celebratory cakes!
Jules' Vanilla or Chocolate Frosting Recipe
Jules Gluten-Free Gingerbread Football Players
My Gingerbread Recipe OR easy Jules Gluten Free Graham Cracker/Gingerbread Mix makes tons of adorable gingerbread men … or gingerbread football players! Since my town of Baltimore is in the Super Bowl this year, I made these players with purple jerseys and drew their football field out of piped white frosting. And wouldn't you know that chocolate covered almonds make great, edible footballs!
Easy cookie icing is best for any kind of cookie and is easy to color to suit your needs. Here's my recipe for Jules' Easy Cookie Icing.
Regarding food colorings (necessary for most shaped or themed cakes), there are several options. Easy to find brands like McCormick® are gluten-free and have awesome color choices (I used Neon Purple and Neon Blue for the purple jerseys), but if you are looking for all-natural food colorings, choose brands like Seelect, Nature's Flavors or India Tree.
Decorative sprinkles are another nice touch – try some from Illinois Nut & Candy, which thoughtfully delineates between its sprinkles which are gluten-free, casein-free, lactose-free, etc. I have also seen "Let's Do Sprinkelz®" (from Germany but distributed in the US by Edward & Sons Trading Co) gluten-free, naturally-colored sprinkles carried by most of the organic grocers near me, so look for those next time you are at your favorite organic grocery. India Tree's Nature's Colors line of sprinkles use cabbage and beet juice for colors.
So this year, celebrate with festive and delicious gluten-free cake and cookies! Go team!

Hi, i am from the Netherlands and i would like to know of i van buy your products over here and at what shop.
It all looks so good,
hope you van help me.
Thanks, Edith-
Jules said: on February 7, 2013
Hi Edith, unfortunately at this time we are not exporting our products to the Netherlands. If you have any friends or relatives in the States who could receive the shipment and then ship to you, that would certainly work. Otherwise, I would recommend making your own blend based on one of my homemade flour blend recipes. You can find them in my book, Free for All Cooking. I hope this helps! All the best to you!
