The Brain Catches Fire at Menopause
An exploration of the physical and emotional changes that can spur growth and creativity for women at midlife.
BY: Christiane Northrup, M.D.
A woman recently told me that when her mother was approaching the age of menopause, her father sat the whole family down and said, "Kids, your mother may be going through some changes now, and I want you to be prepared. Your uncle Ralph told me that when your aunt Carol went through the change, she threw a leg of lamb right out the window!"
Although this story fits beautifully into the stereotype of the "crazy" menopausal woman, it should not be overlooked that throwing the leg of lamb out the window may have been Aunt Carol's outward expression of the process going on within her soul: the reclaiming of self. Perhaps it was her way of saying how tired she was of waiting on her family, of signaling to them that she was past the cook/chauffeur/dishwasher stage of life.
For two or three days each month, just before or during our periods, there is a hormonal interlude when the veil between our conscious and unconscious selves is thinner and the voice of our souls beckons to us. | ||
For many women, if not most, part of this reclamation process includes getting in touch with anger, and perhaps, blowing up at loved ones for the first time. The events that evoked anger are never new. What is new, however, is our willingness and energy to let that anger be acknowledged and expressed, both to ourselves and to others. This can be the first step toward much-needed change in our lives, change that is often long overdue.
Our Cultural Inheritance
Regardless of where you currently stand in your menstrual or perimenopausal transition, chances are you've inherited a few beliefs about your cycle that boil down to a variation of the following: "The issues that arise premenstrually have nothing to do with my actual life. They are strictly hormonal. My hormones exist in a universe that is completely separate from the rest of my life."
In fact, PMS and the escalation of symptoms that is so common during perimenopause are really our inner guidance system trying to get us to pay attention to the adjustments we need to make in our lives, adjustments that become particularly urgent during perimenopause.
If we don't pay attention to the issues that come up for us every month during the years when our periods are regular, our symptoms will escalate as we get older.

Your Questions, Answered!
Posted By:Frank Jedda aka "Professor Blogman"
October 7, 2010
Last month, Martha Stewart Weddings asked me to be a guest blogger for "The Bride's Guide." I was very excited about this! I loved the idea that brides could ask me specific questions about their weddings and their fiancé's look. I noticed that since I posted my answers, brides continued to ask questions and I wouldn't want them to go unanswered, so I thought I would answer them here in hopes that it may help even more of our brides! Here we go...
Kristina asked:
How does my fiancé achieve a modern/contemporary look that is cohesive with his groomsmen who will need to rent their attire? Should my fiancé buy his suit/tux and have the groomsmen rent? Or should my fiancé rent as well? What is the most contemporary look? We were thinking about purchasing nice colored ties.
My advice:
Kristina, I absolutely believe your fiancé should buy his tuxedo! Did you rent your wedding dress? If not, I think he deserves his very own tuxedo, just as you deserve your very own dress. He is, after all, 50% of the reason for this wedding. For your fiancé's tuxedo, I suggest a narrow lapel and a shorter jacket; this is very modern and stylish. For the groomsmen, colorful ties can look very nice (great idea!), provided they blend with the bridesmaids. Now that doesn't necessarily mean match, but rather, they should compliment the bridesmaid's dresses or overall color scheme for the wedding. If the groomsmen would like to buy their tuxedos so that they have a great tux on hand whenever the occasion comes up, then by all means let them purchase, but if they'd like to rent that's okay too. Your fiancé should stand out from the groomsmen. He is the one you're marrying after all! Take a look at this example...
Christina asked:
We are having a simple, modern urban wedding. We do not have a bridal party, but green will be our cohesive color. The groom is wearing a black suit, what color tie do you recommend? Something off-white to match me, green or black?
My advice:
Christina, seeing that you are having a modern urban wedding, I suggest ivory for your groom's tie so that he stands out, we wouldn't want him to simply blend in with the décor! I do love the idea of green though, and since you do not have groomsmen, it is nice to have your fiancé's look pull in some of the elements of the wedding. How about a green pocket square to add a little color and make him cohesive with the ambiance? I put together three looks to give you some ideas, check them out below. By the way, a sleek black suit was a great choice as well!
Kat asked:
My fiancé and I are having a Black Tie New Year's Eve wedding (so excited!) All the groomsmen are wearing classic tuxes with pocket squares. What look can set my groom apart from his groomsmen? We were thinking maybe a white bowtie? Or a White jacket and black bowtie? Speaking of bowties - where do you suggest we pick one up? I'd like a really hearty bow tie, not one of those skimpy clip ons. (ps. I'm a Kleinfeld - can I look at your selection at my dress fitting?) Also, do his tux shoes need to be patent leather? His aren't, but they are a standard black leather dress shoe.
My advice:
New Years Eve is such a happy and exciting night for a wedding! I noticed you didn't mention the groomsmen, and just incase you don't have bow ties for them yet—silver would be totally chic. For your fiancé, I love the idea of an ivory dinner jacket with black trousers and a black bow tie. This look is very formal, dressed, and classic. (Ps- if you really want to pull in NYE to his look, a bit of sparkle in the pocket square, like a silver or gold could be just enough without being too much!) Regarding the bow tie, you have the right idea, Kat! We don't even sell clip on bow ties! Finally, let me say that I am usually not a fan of patent shoes, but seeing as how it will be New Years Eve, and a dressy affair, patent does seem to be in order. After all, we wouldn't want him looking perfectly polished from head to ankle, with dull leather shoes on his feet!
Seeing that you're one of our brides, you should absolutely stop in to see me at your fitting. We will make sure we find the perfect look and accessories for your fiancé and his groomsmen!
Laura asked:
We are having a formal evening wedding and my fiancé wants to wear a more classic version of a tux with a bow tie, he doesn't want to wear a vest with it and favors suspenders over a cummerbund. Is it alright to wear a bow tie and suspenders?
My advice:
Absolutely! It is going to be a great look. In fact, you can let your fiancé know that foregoing a cummerbund and opting for suspenders or a vest is very much in fashion right now. The important thing then becomes fabric choice and combination. The fabric will make all the difference in whether his look is special or drab. Choose fabrics that compliment each other and I always like a little texture to add interest.
Gabrielle says:
Frank is the best and he knows best! We are working with him for my fiancé's tuxedo and I pretty much told my fiancé to go with whatever Frank recommends. He's such a pleasure to work with and to talk to, and he's got the kindest heart too. I totally trust him, and he's got such great taste. Thanks Frank!
My thanks:
Gabrielle, thank you very much for your kind words! I hope that your groom will be as handsome as you expect and of course, that you will send photos of the big day so I can see how it all turns out!
Well, those are all of the questions for now. It's been a pleasure to answer them all and I truly hope I've been helpful! It has been such a pleasure, in fact, that I'd like to continue to answer more of your questions here. Any questions, concerns, comments, or queries, just ask them in our Comments section and I will post another answers blog next week. Until then...

Tile Roof - To offset or not to offset tiles
I'm in the process of buying a house built in 1992 which has a tile roof. I'm not sure the exact type of tile, but it's probably a lower-end flat tile that somewhat resembles a ceder shake in size and appearance.
I live in Washington state, which receives plenty of liquid sunshine throughout the year. During an inspection of the roof to get an estimate on some cracked and missing tiles, the inspector also noted that the tiles are not offset like they should be for proper installation. He states that by all the shingles being placed in a line as the picture below shows, they will allow water to work it's way to the underlayment. Once the underlayment has degraded over the years, it's going to allow moisture to penetrate the sheeting. This makes perfect sense to me and looking at the pictures I would support this notion. The home inspector said that he has seen a large number of houses with tile roofs installed this way, but he also said the roofing experts observation makes sense. My question is: Is this tile roof on this house been installed incorrectly, because the tiles are not offset? If so is there any remedy short of throwing all the shingles away and starting over from scratch? What is the cost of a new tile roof, using a similar material to the one pictured? The house is 1600sq ft on both the main and second floors. I've also provided a picture of the house from the curb at the bottom of my post. Any assistance you can provide would be much appreciated. Thanks... Here is a picture |

Tile Roof - To offset or not to offset tiles
It is acceptable practice from the tile manufacturers product I have installed.
The overlapping tiles lock into the subsequent tile with a male channel being inserted into the female receiving channel. Only if the exposure, or overlap of the preceeding course of tiles, or if the water channel is cracked would it be a major concern, in my opinion. Ed |

Tile Roof - To offset or not to offset tiles
They look to me like concrete interlocking tiles as shown below.
If so they need to be done as Ed has stated, otherwise they wouldn't work. This is probably the most common method of roofing on new builds in the UK nowadays. |

American Water Charitable Foundation Awards $10,000 to Jobs for the Future
The American Water Charitable Foundation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization created by American Water, the parent company of Tennessee American, will give $10,000 to Jobs for the Future (JFF).
The grant will fund the Pathways to Prosperity Network, a collaboration between the Pathways to Prosperity Project at Harvard Graduate School of Education, Jobs for the Future, and nine states focused on ensuring that many more young people complete high school and attain a postsecondary credential with currency in the labor market. The goal is to support young people in entering an initial career while leaving open the prospect of further education.
"JFF and its Chattanooga partner, the Public Education Fund, are grateful to the American Water Charitable Foundation for the support it is providing to enhance the outcomes of young people in education and in the labor market," said Hoffman. "Society and the economy will benefit if a greater number of young people choose and are prepared for high skill careers that will allow them to fill regional employer needs and build a stronger middle class in their communities."
"The American Water Charitable Foundation seeks to support our employees' efforts to give back, through donations and volunteer efforts, to the communities we serve, and Jobs for the Future was selected for a grant based on what our employees felt were important needs in their communities," states Allen. "We are proud to support Job for the Future's vision of doubling the number of low-income youth and adults who attain postsecondary credentials by 2020."
Established in 2010 with a founding contribution from American Water, the American Water Charitable Foundation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that provides a formal way to demonstrate the company's ongoing commitment to being a good neighbor, citizen, and contributor to the communities where American Water and its employees live, work and operate. The Foundation helps support American Water employee-identified nonprofit endeavors. The donation to Jobs for the Future is one of five, one-time grants recently awarded by the American Water Charitable Foundation to select organizations in the company's service areas. In a recent survey, American Water employees ranked veterans, youth, community, environment and health/welfare as the most important types of services supported by nonprofit organizations. Potential grantee organizations were then selected in each of these categories on a competitive basis according to criteria established by the foundation's Employee Advisory Committee.

U.S. Army War College >> Strategic Studies Institute >> Publications >> Disjointed Ways, Disunified Means: Learning from America's Struggle to Build an Afghan Nation
U.S. Army War College >> Strategic Studies Institute >> Publications >> Details
Authored by Colonel Lewis G. Irwin.
Remarkably ambitious in its audacity and scope, NATO's irregular warfare and nation-building mission in Afghanistan has struggled to meet its nonmilitary objectives by most tangible measures. Put directly, the Alliance and its partners have fallen short of achieving the results needed to create a stable, secure, democratic, and self-sustaining Afghan nation, a particularly daunting proposition given Afghanistan's history and culture, the region's contemporary circumstances, and the fact that no such country has existed there before. Furthermore, given the central nature of U.S. contributions to this NATO mission, these shortfalls also serve as an indicator of a serious American problem as well. Specifically, inconsistencies and a lack of coherence in the U.S. Government's strategic planning processes and products, as well as fundamental flaws in the U.S. Government's structures and systems for coordinating and integrating the efforts of its various agencies, are largely responsible for this adverse and dangerous situation. This book explores these strategic and interagency shortfalls, while proposing potential reforms that would enable the United States to achieve the strategic coherence and genuine unity of effort that will be needed in an era of constrained resources and emerging new threats.

Plants and microorganisms reduce environmental inorganic nitrogen to ammonium, which then enters various metabolic pathways solely via conversion of 2-oxoglutarate (2OG) to glutamate and glutamine. Cellular 2OG concentrations increase during nitrogen starvation. We recently identified a family of 2OG-sensing proteins—the nitrogen regulatory protein NrpR—that bind DNA and repress transcription of nitrogen assimilation genes. We used X-ray crystallography to determine the structure of NrpR regulatory domain. We identified the NrpR 2OG-binding cleft and show that residues predicted to interact directly with 2OG are conserved among diverse classes of 2OG-binding proteins. We show that high levels of 2OG inhibit NrpRs ability to bind DNA. Electron microscopy analyses document that NrpR adopts different quaternary structures in its inhibited 2OG-bound state compared with its active apo state. Our results indicate that upon 2OG release, NrpR repositions its DNA-binding domains correctly for optimal interaction with DNA thereby enabling gene repression.

Learning Curve The First Years® Spill Proof 10 oz Cups -- 4 Cups
Lids don't stay put!
Nice look, horrible design! My son gets the lid off within 30 seconds of handing him a cup. Also, these are not spill-proof. Also, the take-along spout falls off easily. I won't be purchasing these again. I'll probably use them in a few years when my son is old enough not to spill and won't need the lid.
March 27, 2013
My son refused to take milk out of anything but his bottle so I needed a cup he has never had water out of and this was it and it work that was 2 years ago! I love these cups they are cheap enough that if one does not get washed right away and sours it can be thrown away with out wasting too much money but works great. Some places even have "take along tops" that go on the spouts!

An Angler's Tales and Travels
By Kevin Searock

- By: Seth Norman
"Fly-fishing literature" seems too small a fish to fillet into parts; worse yet, the cuts are often ragged. The cheap way to do this would be to call one genre "lyrical," suggesting pirouettes, poetry and fiction, and the other "didactic," usually too stiff and weighty a word. Even if these terms applied at all, the problem with reviewing collections of short works is that many contain pieces of both kinds. So let's do this:
- By: Seth Norman
PROFOUND RIVER RESEMBLES NO other contemporary American novel that includes fly-fishing in a significant way. It's all at once a remarkably researched historical fiction based on one of our sport's earliest, most revered and controversial figures; a deceptively delicate story of grace and humor and grit; a meditation filled with religious ritual but suffused with more humanism than dogma . . . and a how-to still relevant to anglers today.
Fly-Casting Techniques-
- By: Joan Salvatto Wulff
I didn't know it at the time, but Joan Wulff first had an impact on my life when, as a teenager, I tightly gripped the cork of my father's fly rod and made my first cast. Fly-fishing was to become an obsession, and at that moment I, like many female anglers, was indebted to Wulff for making fly-fishing both accessible to and acceptable for women.
Who Fly-Fishes? C.J. Box
- By: Stephen Camelio
They say you should write what you know, and this advice has paid off handsomely for author C.J. Box. His best-selling novels, most of which feature crime-solving game warden Joe Pickett (who, like Box, is a Wyoming native, outdoorsman and dedicated family man), have sold millions of copies and won Box countless awards, including an Edgar Award in 2009, from the Mystery Writers of America, for Best Novel. Box and Pickett (who is once again the main character of Box's newest work, Force of Nature, released this past March), share one other very important characteristic—both are avid fly fishermen. And while Pickett's angling stories are fictitious, Box, in one of the few spare moments when he wasn't either fishing or writing, agreed to share the truth behind his own fish tales.
A Passion for Tarpon
- By: Seth Norman
Tarpon. if that word brings up images that make you tremble, then Pat Ford's photos in this tome may provoke a petit mal. A reader who's never yet caught one may think again, "I just have to this lifetime"; and then, after poring over author Andy Mill's instructions, believe they could hook and land a silver king, maybe. And yet…
A reviewer of tarpon media who hasn't done so himself (yet) must admit a gross gap in angling experience, by way of adding "for what it's worth" to praise, criticism or inchoate mewling sounds. Multiple confessions of this fact may initiate bitter spiritual journeys, as in "What kind of SOB was I, last incarnation, to be denied a tarpon this time around?" In my case, I will admit unhappily, the hours spent with A Passion for Tarpon answered that question: I was Vlad, the Impaler.
The Royal Wulff Murders: A Novel
- By: Seth Norman
So you're sean shanahan—semi-starving artist, former private investigator, a hard-core fly fisher still emotionally entangled with that ex-wife you left behind when you moved to Bridger, Montana. You're minding your business, such as it is, hanging on to hope and a paintbrush when—per the jacket blurb of The Royal Wulff Murders— "Delta siren Velvet Lafayette" stops by. She's sultry a la Spade, wears lipstick the color of blood, and wants to hire you to—what else?—fish the Madison River for as long as it takes to catch trout with fins notched by her late father, by way of finding the riffle where he wanted his ashes spread. She'll pay you a grand for this service, half down, and—shame on you for hoping—maybe a romantic bonus, TBA.
Colorado's Best Fly Fishing - the best book on the subject
Submitted by Greg Thomas on Tue, 01/24/2012 - 09:14.If you're a western fly fisher and you don't know Landon Mayer you've had your head in the sand or somewhere else equally dark.
Mayer is a Colorado guide who specializes in finding big trout for he and his clients. And most of his research happens in Colorado where he and his family live. During winter he takes to the road and speaks for the International Sportsman's Exhibition, in Denver, Sacramento and elsewhere. He's a good angler, no doubt, but I'm more impressed by his mentality; I've been fortunate enough to spend time with Mayer, over steaks and beers, and the passion he shows for our sport and the willingness he demonstrates to share his findings with others is what sets him apart. Believe me, in this day and age, with egos running rampant, and jealousies hampering good writers' best efforts, it's amazing that there's any literature out there for those who are interested in the sport and just want to taste some success and do so in a classy manner.

A pair of struggling clubs will hook up in Orlando on Saturday as the Sacramento Kings pay a visit to the Magic. Sacramento allowed a season-high 124 points to Atlanta on Wednesday and yielded 122 to Miami on Friday, forcing the team to realize that applying coach Michael Malone's consistent message could do them well. "He preaches it over and over (that) we're a defensive team," center DeMarcus Cousins told the Sacramento Bee. "Once we get that in our heads, we'll be a better team."Orlando fell to lowly Utah last time out while leading scorer Arron Afflalo missed the game due to illness. The Magic weren't leaning on excuses without their go-to shooter, but forward Glen Davis did acknowledge his absence, telling the Orlando Sentinel, "He's going to give you 20 points a game. We missed those 20 today." The loss to the Jazz was game one of a six-game homestand for Orlando, which is 5-7 at Amway Center this season. TV: 7 p.m. ET, CSN California (Sacramento), FSN Florida (Orlando)ABOUT THE KINGS (7-18): Sacramento has lost three in a row and five of their last six, and its deficiencies on defense have become more and more apparent as the season has drawn on. Malone continues to put the blame on himself, though his players have consistently had his back. "I'll always look at myself first," Malone said, "Take the hit, try to help these guys out and do a better job as head coach." Cousins rebuffed, saying, "We're well prepared before every game. Can't put that blame on coach." The Kings are among the NBA's bottom two in points allowed, ahead of only Philadelphia.ABOUT THE MAGIC (8-18): Orlando is just 2-9 in its last 11, reaching a season low against the Jazz on Wednesday by shooting 32.6 percent from the field. "We all missed shots collectively," point guard Victor Oladipo said. "(Utah) hit big shots." Oladipo has played more minutes than any NBA rookie this season and has placed his focus on improving his shooting efficiency, currently at 40 percent. "I think it's a little bit more than shot selection," coach Jacque Vaughn said. "Shots that you used to get in college - it's a little bit more difficult for you to get those shots now."BUZZER BEATERS1. The Kings toppled the Magic in both meetings last season, with an average margin of victory of 16.5 points.2. Oladipo (13.3 points) ranks second among NBA rookies in scoring behind Philadelphia's Michael Carter-Williams (17.7).3. Sacramento is looking to gel with a new combination of players, having had just one full practice since a trade with Toronto last week that brought F Rudy Gay and Quincy Acy along with C Aaron Gray to the Kings.PREDICTION: Kings 111, Magic 100

I was born with the name Kwabena Boa-Amponsem, I was baptized Daniel Amponsah. On stage, I took the name "Koo Nimo"-"Koo" is a male child born on Friday, "Nimo" means "someone who takes the blame for something he has not done." I was born at Foase, Atwima No. 1, in the Asante region of Ghana, West Africa. My father, Opanin Kwame Amponsah was a trumpeter, a guitarist, a tailor, a builder and a shoemaker. My mother, Akua Fokuo, sang in the Methodist church. So I was born into a musical family. When I was eight, my sister, Akua Fosuaa, married Nana Kwame Bonsu, the late Otumfuo Opoku Ware's brother (Asantehene or King of the Asante). So I moved from my village to live around the palace. By living in the palace, I became exposed to the activities in the court. For example, the day before the festivals Adae or Odwira, there would be performances heralding the great days. In the evening we would hear ceremonial horns, then master drummers would play attributes and appellations for all the kings that had ruled the nation. When the Queen Mother had to leave her house for the main palace, it was often my role to carry her umbrella and follow her, something I longed to do. I learned how the court settled cases, where traditional jurisprudence was practiced, and I learned court language, where proverbs and figures of speech are very important.
Koo Nimo sings about the porcupine and other rings
The sankofa goldweight is associated with a proverb
Stools are important to the Asante
Koo Nimo calls this procession a "mobile museum" (28-56k) (300k)

Erie County took another step toward making sure the Bills stay in Western New York for the foreseeable future. Legislators approved a document which allows stadium lease negotiations to be completed.
BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Erie County Legislature unanimously approved a Memorandum of Understanding which allows the county, the state and the Buffalo Bills to finish putting together a new ten-year lease for Ralph Wilson Stadium.
"That lease package is a huge package that they're putting together so it's going to take a lot of hours to put that together, dotting I's and crossing T's," said Timothy Hogues, (D), Erie County Legislator.
Legislators expect to sign off on the completed lease too whenever it's put in front of them. They said the Deputy County Executive told them the details will be the same as what's outlined in the MOU.
"He assured us that their wouldn't be any changes from the MOU to the lease agreement and if there were, they would bring them back in front of the legislature so we can discuss them," Hogues said.
The county's share of the lease will be about $40 million.
"It'll be done in a phased approach and all of this will be publicly known," said Lynn Marinelli, (D), Erie County Legislator. "It will either come over as its own borrowed funded area or part of our package that we do every year."
But legislators said the Bills organization has a strong economic impact in Erie County.
"The income taxes and the ticket sales, the price of the sales tax on the tickets, that pretty close to makes up the difference," said Terrence McCracken, (D) Erie County Legislator.
And they say the NFL team is an important part of this region's identity.
"The constituents that I talked to, they all see the value of having the Bills here. You have to weigh the good with the bad and the good outweighs the bad here," McCracken said.
"If we were starting today, it would probably be impossible to get an NFL team," Marinelli said. "The fact of the matter is this is the Buffalo Bills. This will be the Buffalo Bills and I give a lot of credit to the Buffalo Bills."
After touring the facility, legislators got a first hand look at how the team is planning to use the money to improve the fan experience.

"I used this layout for our save the dates and we absolutely love them!! They came out better than we expected, thank you so much wedding paper divas! We are one happy couple over here :) Highly recommend this layout and company to order from."
"They turned out beautifully! I cannot wait to send to my wedding guests! I also really love that you can reorder a few more at the price you paid for a larger quantity! Very impressed"
"I love the high grade magnet! The photo finish was beautiful. It really set the tone. Shipped in great time, & I really loved the packaging! Great job"
"I ordered the elegant vows in the green color. The quality of the image was excellent. I did order the thick matte paper and this was too thick. It kinda made them seem to be like coasters. Will order in different paper. The printing and shipping is very fast. It came faster than anticipated."

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - Between now and the start of the football season, Paul Millard will take a step that these days seems almost a prerequisite to becoming a top-flight quarterback in the Big 12.
He's getting married.
OK, so maybe his May 12 nuptials back home in Texas aren't with an eye on football success. Nor is it a necessary step, given the success of unweds like Geno Smith.
Still, it's hard to argue with the success of those who recently have acted similarly:
Oklahoma's Landry Jones.
Kansas State's Collin Klein.
Baylor's Nick Florence.
And Oklahoma State's Brandon Weeden.
Not bad company, huh? The top two passers in the Big 12 last year (Florence and Jones), the top two from the year before (Weeden and Florence) and a Heisman Trophy finalist (Klein). All played as married men.
Again, though, Millard isn't tying the knot with football in mind.
"When you know, you know,'' Millard said of his high school girlfriend, Laura, who is now in school at WVU. "It wasn't a hard decision.''
There is, of course, just one catch to this married-man-advantage where Millard is concerned. He hasn't even won the job as West Virginia's starter.
As the Mountaineers wrap up the first part of spring drills with today's practice - they will be excused for spring break and not return until April 2 - Millard, a junior, and Ford Childress, a redshirt freshman, are waging a two-man battle for the upper hand in the race to replace Smith, the school's all-time passing leader. Chavas Rawlins, a true freshman who enrolled in January, is also in the mix, but at least through the spring he's likely just to be getting his bearings straight.
So far, it's hard to imagine that either has separated himself in the closed-door practices. A lot of that has to do with circumstances, not ability.
"It's a process. You don't all of a sudden overnight get good at this offense,'' Millard said. "It takes constant repetition. And with new quarterbacks, new receivers, new offensive linemen stepping in, it's a process. We're just trying to get better.''
Millard, though, clearly has the advantage where knowledge and experience are concerned. Practically since the day he stepped onto campus two years ago and proved only that he could catch a shotgun snap, he's been Smith's backup. Coach Dana Holgorsen really had little choice given that in 2011 Millard was the only other scholarship quarterback on the roster and in 2012 he was joined only by the relatively raw Childress, who hadn't even become a full-time quarterback in high school until he was a junior.

Heart Healthy Valentines February is National Heart Month, so let's be good to our hearts this Valentine's day.
Gluten Free Chocolate Raspberry Brownies 139 calories, 25 g Carbs, 3 g Protein, 5 g fat (per 3 oz. brownie!!) Get the recipe by clicking this link!
Christine's suggestions for a Heart Healthy Valentine's Day Dinner
1) Lean protein such as grilled beef tenderloin (the leanest cut of beef).
2) Quinoa with artichoke hearts and fresh parsley. Quinoa is a staple of the ancient Incas and means "the mother grain". It's high in iron and loaded with fiber (4 gm per ½ cup).
3) A small glass of seltzer water with a splash of pomegranate juice and twist of lime. This is better for you than diet soda or champagne and much more romantic looking to the eye when poured into a wine or champagne glass.
4) Chocolate raspberry brownies. These are my newest creation and are beyond blissful…they are chewy, gooey, chocolately with a unique burst of tart raspberry…so unique and heart healthy.

SummaryMost mutations in cancer genomes are thought to be acquired after the initiating event, which may cause genomic instability and drive clonal evolution. However, for acute myeloid leukemia (AML), normal karyotypes are common, and genomic instability is unusual. To better understand clonal evolution in AML, we sequenced the genomes of M3-AML samples with a known initiating event (PML-RARA) versus the genomes of normal karyotype M1-AML samples and the exomes of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) from healthy people. Collectively, the data suggest that most of the mutations found in AML genomes are actually random events that occurred in HSPCs before they acquired the initiating mutation; the mutational history of that cell is "captured" as the clone expands. In many cases, only one or two additional, cooperating mutations are needed to generate the malignant founding clone. Cells from the founding clone can acquire additional cooperating mutations, yielding subclones that can contribute to disease progression and/or relapse.

SummaryFas-deficient (Fas lpr/lpr) mice constitutively expressing Bcl-2 in myeloid cells by the hMRP8 promoter often develop a fatal disease analogous to human acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML-M2). Hematopoietic cells from leukemic Fas lpr/lpr hMRP8bcl-2 animals form clonogenic blast colonies in vitro and can transfer disease to wild-type mice. In vitro ligation of Fas on Fas+/+ hMRP8bcl-2 marrow cells depletes approximately 50% of myeloid progenitor activity, demonstrating that Bcl-2 can only partially block Fas-mediated death signals in myelomonocytic progenitors. In addition, Fas lpr/lpr marrow contains greatly increased numbers of myeloid colony-forming cells as compared to Fas+/+ controls. Taken together, these data suggest that Fas has a novel role in the regulation of myelopoiesis and that Fas may act as a tumor suppressor to control leukemogenic transformation in myeloid progenitor cells.

SummaryThe AML1/CBFβ transcription factor complex, a frequent target of chromosomal translocations in leukemia, is essential for the generation of definitive hematopoietic stem cells. Paradoxically, expression of the acute myeloid leukemia-associated AML1-ETO fusion protein in mice results not in leukemia, but in embryonic lethality due to an absence of normal hematopoiesis. To bypass the embryonic lethality, we generated a mouse strain with a conditional AML1-ETO knockin allele that contains a loxP bracketed transcriptional stop cassette 5′ to the AML1-ETO fusion site. Activation of this allele in vivo by Cre-mediated recombination resulted in an enhanced replating efficiency of myeloid progenitors, but it did not block their differentiation, nor was it sufficient to induce leukemia. However, induction of cooperating mutations resulted in the development of an acute myeloid disease that mimicked many of the features of human AML1-ETO-expressing leukemia.

Graphical Abstract
► Mitochondrial priming of AML versus HSCs determines the chemotherapeutic index ► Pretreatment BH3 profiling may have utility as a clinical decision-making tool ► Myeloblasts tend to be BCL-2 dependent, but human HSCs tend to be MCL-1 dependent ► Targeting BCL-2 is selectively toxic to even chemorefractory myeloblasts over HSCs

- Despite decades of successful use of cytotoxic chemotherapy in acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), the biological basis for its differential success among individuals and for the existence of a therapeutic index has remained obscure. Rather than taking a genetic approach favored by many, we took a functional approach to ask how differential mitochondrial readiness for apoptosis ("priming") might explain individual variation in clinical behavior. We found that mitochondrial priming measured by BH3 profiling was a determinant of initial response to induction chemotherapy, relapse after remission, and requirement for allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. Differential priming between malignant myeloblasts and normal hematopoietic stem cells supports a mitochondrial basis to the therapeutic index for chemotherapy. BH3 profiling identified BCL-2 inhibition as a targeted strategy likely to have a useful therapeutic index. BH3 profiling refines predictive information provided by conventional biomarkers currently in use and thus may itself have utility as a clinical predictive biomarker.

Waitress alleges beating at nightclub
A waitress at a D.C. club is preparing to sue the club after she says security guards didn't properly protect her against customers' attacks.
Jermia Kelley's foot was cut and tendons damaged after she claims she was attacked and brutally beaten at her job.
Kelley is a waitress at the upscale Josephine nightclub in downtown D.C. She says a group of female customers beat her the night before Thanksgiving after one of them refused to pay a $1,200 bill.
"I turned around and she threw some punches at me," Kelley claims. "They were kicking me with high heel shoes on and I was laying there on the floor in the fetal position," she said.
One of those customers, she says, was an off-duty D.C. police officer.
Kelley says the club was packed over capacity and there weren't enough club security officers. To her, it took too long for someone to come to her aid.
A lawyer for the club disputed Kelley's claim that it was overcrowded and said the club always has sufficient security on hand. An on-duty police officer was at the club but all parties in the altercation agreed not to press charges.
Kelley also says a D.C. alcohol beverage control officer was there and was aware of the altercation and overcrowding, but did not intervene. The Washington Post reports the ABC inspector was suspended for allegedly accepting four free bottles of vodka at the club that night.
Kelley's lawyer says he plans to file a lawsuit against the club, the D.C. government and the women who he says beat his client.
"I've worked at Josephines for three years, I never thought anything like this would happen to me at work," Kelley said.

Editor's Review
The name H&R Block has become synonymous with filing federal and state income taxes. Although the company originally made its reputation with brick-and-mortar store fronts, they were one of the first entrants into the tax-software industry with TaxCut, which has been renamed for tax year 2009 as H&R Block At Home.
The Deluxe version of H&R Block At Home was reviewed by the Software.com lab and found to perform with the same confident ease as its predecessors. The official tax forms and tables have not yet been finalized by the IRS; however, the software handled trial runs smoothly. (Note: as the IRS and state agencies finalize their forms, the software updates from the H&R Block At Home website.)
H&R Block At Home Deluxe imports prior years' data easily from all of the popular tax packages, including Quicken, MS Money, TurboTax, and of course its own predecessor, TaxCut, for W-2 and the various 1099 forms. The new improved user interface utilizes a Q&A approach to guide users through the tax preparation process, and also makes it easy to investigate alternatives, then navigate back to the tax form and line in question.
The Deluxe version tested included detailed assistance for homeowners and investors, including guidance for reporting and maximizing deductions for:
home sales
retirement income
stock options
interest income
home mortgage interest
real estate taxes
Returns are automatically checked for errors, and the user may e-file five personal federal returns. Note that H&R Block At Home Deluxe allows for preparation and printing of unlimited federal returns.
H&R Block At Home Deluxe: What We Liked
Worry-Free Audit Support is included in the purchase price, ensuring a trained H&R Block agent will assist with communication and represent the user in the event of a state or federal audit.
One state tax preparation program is also included.
Good value for the price, particularly compared to competitors.
H&R Block At Home Deluxe: What We Didn't Like
Registration requires giving some personal data.
Some users reported receiving annoying telemarketing calls.
H&R Block Support
The H&R Block website includes a full technical help section, and a chat feature and toll-free telephone number are also provided during office hours. Tax-preparation questions can be answered by a professional via telephone or email at a small additional charge.
About H&R Block
H&R Block was originally formed in Kansas City, Missouri in 1946 as a small business servicing company by the three Bloch brothers, Leon, Richard, and Henry. In 1955 their company began specializing in tax return preparation, and their success can measured by the company name being a household word. In 2007, the company reportedly claimed 19.9 million U.S. clients.
