Panel's Recommendations
Women Who Have Received Antepartum Antiretroviral Drugs
Use of Intravenous Zidovudine during Labor
The PACTG 076 zidovudine regimen included a continuous intravenous (IV) infusion of zidovudine during labor (initial loading dose of 2 mg/kg IV over 1 hour, followed by continuous infusion of 1 mg/kg/hour until delivery) for all women. This regimen along with maternal antepartum and infant zidovudine reduced perinatal transmission by 66% overall. Combination antiretroviral (ARV) regimens are now recommended for treatment and prevention of perinatal transmission of HIV; the additional benefit of IV zidovudine in women receiving combination regimens has not been evaluated in randomized clinical trials. The French Perinatal Cohort evaluated transmission in >5,000 HIV-infected pregnant women receiving ARV (19% zidovudine alone, 33% dual ARV, and 48% triple ARV) who delivered between 1997 and 2004, stratified by viral load at delivery; 96% received IV intrapartum zidovudine.1 Overall, intrapartum IV zidovudine prophylaxis was associated with lower risk of transmission (1.2% [59/5,006] transmission with intrapartum prophylaxis vs. 3.1% [7/230] without intrapartum prophylaxis, P =.025) but this association was related to HIV RNA level at delivery. In 364 women who had HIV RNA >10,000 copies/mL at delivery, intrapartum prophylaxis was strongly associated with a lower risk of transmission: 5.3% (18/339) with intrapartum prophylaxis versus 22.7% (5/22) without intrapartum prophylaxis (P =.009). However, intrapartum prophylaxis was not associated with transmission in 2,845 women with HIV RNA <400 copies/mL at delivery: 0.6% (17/2,750) with intrapartum prophylaxis versus 0% (0/95) without intrapartum prophylaxis. Data were not provided for women with viral load 400 to 9,999 copies/mL. Based on this study, IV zidovudine is not required for HIV-infected women receiving combination ARV regimens with HIV RNA <400 copies/mL near delivery but should continue to be administered to HIV-infected women with HIV RNA ≥400 copies/mL near delivery (or unknown HIV RNA levels), regardless of antepartum regimen. In women with HIV RNA >400 copies/mL receiving a scheduled cesarean delivery for prevention of transmission, IV zidovudine administration should begin 3 hours before the scheduled operative delivery. This recommendation is based on a pharmacokinetic (PK) study of zidovudine given orally during pregnancy and as a continuous infusion during labor. Maternal zidovudine levels were measured at baseline, after the initial IV loading dose and then every 3 to 4 hours until delivery, and in cord blood.2 Systemic and intracellular zidovudine levels increased from baseline but appeared to stabilize after 3 hours of infusion; cord blood zidovudine levels were assocated with maternal levels and maternal infusion duration. If cesarean section is being performed for other indications and maternal viral load is <400 copies/mL near the time of delivery, administration of IV zidovudine is not required. If antenatal use of zidovudine was precluded by known or suspected zidovudine resistance, intrapartum use of the drug still should be recommended in women with HIV RNA >400 copies/mL near delivery, except in women with documented histories of hypersensitivity. This intrapartum use of the drug is recommended because of the unique characteristics of zidovudine and its proven record in reducing perinatal transmission, even in the presence of maternal resistance to the drug (see Management of Antiretroviral Drug Resistance during Pregnancy).
In some international studies, oral, rather than IV zidovudine has been administered during labor (see Lessons from Clinical Trials of Antiretroviral Interventions to Reduce Perinatal Transmission of HIV). Data are limited on the PKs of oral compared with IV zidovudine during labor. Additionally, the drug levels needed for prophylaxis are unknown, although extrapolations have been made using therapeutic drug level targets. In a study of oral intrapartum zidovudine 300 mg every 3 hours in Thailand, most cord blood zidovudine levels were at therapeutic levels but were lower than those reported after continuous IV administration; 17% of infants had subtherapeutic levels at birth.3 In another study, the PKs of two dosing regimens of oral zidovudine during labor were evaluated in 10 HIV-infected pregnant women.4 The oral regimen was well tolerated; plasma zidovudine concentrations were substantially lower with 300 mg every 3 hours given orally during labor than previously reported with continuous IV therapy. A revised regimen with a 600-mg oral loading dose, followed by 400 mg every 3 hours, resulted in increased zidovudine concentrations but inter-patient variance was significant. In both cohorts, PK parameters suggested erratic absorption during labor. Therefore, in women with HIV RNA >400 copies/mL near delivery for whom zidovudine is recommended, IV would be preferred to oral administration in the United States; in situations where IV administration is not possible, oral administration can be considered.
Continuation of Antenatal Antiretroviral Drugs during Labor
Women who are receiving an antepartum combination ARV drug regimen should continue that regimen on schedule as much as possible during the intrapartum period to provide maximal virologic effect and to minimize the chance of development of drug resistance. If oral zidovudine is part of the antepartum regimen and a woman's HIV-1 RNA viral load is >400 copies/mL, the oral zidovudine component of her regimen should be stopped while she receives IV zidovudine. When cesarean delivery is planned, oral medications can be continued preoperatively with sips of water. Medications requiring food ingestion for absorption can be taken with liquid dietary supplements, contingent on consultation with the attending anesthesiologist in the preoperative period. If the maternal ARV regimen must be interrupted temporarily (meaning for less than 24 hours) during the peripartum period, all drugs should be stopped and reinstituted simultaneously to minimize the chance that resistance will develop.
Women Who Have Received Antepartum Antiretroviral Drugs But Have Suboptimal Viral Suppression Near Delivery
Women who have received combination ARV drug regimens may not achieve complete viral suppression by the time of delivery because of factors such as poor adherence, viral resistance, or late entry into care. Regardless of the reason, all women who have HIV RNA levels >1,000 copies/mL near the time of delivery should be offered a scheduled cesarean delivery at 38 weeks, which may significantly reduce risk of transmission (see Transmission and Mode of Delivery). Women with incomplete viral suppression at the time of delivery should receive IV zidovudine along with their other ARVs orally, as described above. In certain high-risk situations, additional medications for prophylaxis in infants may be warranted, such as in cases where maternal HIV RNA levels are high at or near the time of delivery, especially if delivery is not a scheduled cesarean delivery (see Infant Antiretroviral Prophylaxis and Table 9).
Women Who Have Not Received Antepartum Antiretroviral Drugs
Women Who Present in Labor Without Documentation of HIV Status
All women without documentation of HIV status at the time of labor should be screened with rapid HIV testing unless they decline (opt-out screening). Rapid HIV testing is also recommended for women presenting in labor who tested negative for HIV in early pregnancy but are at increased risk of HIV infection and were not retested in the third trimester.5 Factors that may increase risk of infection include diagnosis of a sexually transmitted disease, illicit drug use or exchange of sex for money or drugs, multiple sexual partners during pregnancy, a sexual partner at risk of HIV infection, signs/symptoms of acute HIV infection, or living in a region with an elevated incidence of HIV in women of childbearing age and not undergoing repeat HIV testing in the third trimester.5 Rapid HIV antibody testing should be available on a 24-hour basis at all facilities with a maternity service and/or neonatal intensive care unit. Statutes and regulations regarding rapid testing vary from state to state; see http://www.nccc.ucsf.edu/consultation_library/state_hiv_testing_laws for a review of state HIV testing laws. Current information on rapid testing also should be available at all facilities with a maternity service and/or neonatal intensive care unit.
Women with positive rapid HIV antibody tests should be presumed to be infected until standard HIV antibody confirmatory testing clarifies their infection status. IV zidovudine should be started immediately in all women with positive rapid HIV tests in labor to prevent perinatal transmission of HIV, as discussed below.
In the postpartum period, along with confirmatory HIV antibody testing, these women should receive appropriate assessments as soon as possible to determine their health status, including CD4 T-lymphocyte count and HIV-1 RNA viral load. Arrangements also should be made for establishing HIV care and providing ongoing psychosocial support after discharge.
Choice of Intrapartum/Postpartum Antiretroviral Regimen for Women without Antepartum Antiretroviral Therapy
All HIV-infected women who have not received antepartum ARV drugs should have IV zidovudine started immediately to prevent perinatal transmission of HIV. Although intrapartum/neonatal ARV medications will not prevent perinatal transmission that occurs before labor, most transmission occurs near to or during labor and delivery. Pre-exposure prophylaxis for the fetus can be provided by giving mothers a drug that rapidly crosses the placenta, producing fetal systemic ARV drug levels during intensive exposure to HIV in maternal genital secretions and in blood during birth. In general, zidovudine and other nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor drugs and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor drugs cross the placenta well, whereas protease inhibitors do not (see Table 5).
A large international trial (NICHD-HPTN 040/PACTG 1043) demonstrated that adding ARV agents to the neonatal portion of the intrapartum/neonatal zidovudine regimen can further reduce mother-to-child transmission of HIV for mothers who have received no antepartum ARV drugs (see Infant Antiretroviral Prophylaxis). In this study, women who had not received antepartum ARV drugs received IV zidovudine if they were identified in labor or no zidovudine when diagnosed immediately postpartum, and their infants received either 6 weeks of zidovudine alone or zidovudine in combination with other agents; the combination infant regimens resulted in a 50% reduction in transmission compared with zidovudine alone. Therefore, no additional intrapartum drugs, including intrapartum maternal single-dose nevirapine, are indicated for a woman in this situation.6

For thousands of years, the only way to fix a leaking or broken pipe was to dig it up.
But a different approach invented four decades ago is being used more and more, saving City Utilities millions of dollars in the last decade alone.
Now, crews frequently form a new pipe inside the damaged one, with no digging, few disruptions, and dramatically lower costs.
You can put sewer pipe in a new subdivision for $40 or $50 a foot, said Matt Wirtz, deputy director of engineering for Fort Wayne City Utilities.
But thats digging in a cornfield. It is brutal work to dig up sewers – the pipe in the ground is the small piece. Its all the disruption.
Now, theres a better way, called cured in place. Invented in 1971 in England by Eric Wood, the method uses water pressure to unroll a felt liner into the pipe, the way you unroll a sock, only the felt liner is impregnated with resin. Crews then fill the pipe with steam or hot water, which cures the resin into a hard, PVC-like coating – a new pipe within the pipe. A robotic device is then used to drill out holes where other pipes join, and the process is complete.
The first time the method was used in Fort Wayne was in 1979 for a sewer line beneath Calhoun Street between Berry and Washington that was built in 1867. With historic buildings on each side and numerous underground utilities, digging up the sewer would have been incredibly hazardous and expensive, said Mike Hicks, who oversees sewer repair and replacement for the city.
We just camerad it three years ago and its in great shape, Hicks said.
Cured-in-place pipes are essentially new pipes, which are designed to last 50 years.
How much cheaper is it?
Since 1998, the city has used cured-in-place on 691,083 feet of sewers at a cost of $34.7 million. Replacement using traditional excavation, using the lowest bid the city received in that time period, would have cost $220.7 million. Using its average excavation cost would have run to $511.6 million, according to city figures.
The cost savings are just tremendous, Hicks said.
The time savings are immense, as well.
Cured-in-place crews can complete up to 400 feet of pipe a day; old methods can replace 50 feet a day, at best.
Saving time and money is all well and good, but for Fort Wayne, the issue is critical.
The city has 1,346 miles of sewer pipe underground and needs to replace at least 1 percent of it a year. But all those pipes werent installed evenly over the years, so large swaths of the city have pipes hitting the end of their useful life all at once.
Most of the core of the city, geographically, has pipes between 75 and 99 years old, and by 2048, 51 percent of the system will be more than 75 years old.
Cities and towns around the country are going crazy doing (cured in place), but you have to, Hicks said.
The liner does reduce the inside diameter of the pipe about a half-inch, but that is more than made up for, officials said, because there are no joints between manholes and the liner is slick. Hicks said theyve found that flow increases at least 10 percent in a lined pipe, and the effluent moves up to 14 percent faster.
No joints also means there is nowhere for tree roots to invade the pipe.
A technique that was revolutionary just a few decades ago is now the status quo: 97 percent of the citys pipe rehab work is now cured in place.
Before 2000, we didnt do a lot (of rehabbing). There just wasnt funding, Wirtz said. So were still behind, but now – thanks to this – were catching up.

Sandy legacy disrupts, closes North Jersey businesses
An artisan bread factory in Carlstadt is up and running again but needs a $2 million loan to replace four ovens destroyed by floodwater.
A Moonachie importer of German chocolates and other delicacies is struggling with a diminished inventory and needs money to replace ruined warehouse equipment.
The owners of a truck parts and service company nearby, who were looking to sell before superstorm Sandy arrived, have gone out of business after the loss of most of their inventory — worth $60,000 to $75,000 — chased off would-be buyers.
Three months after Sandy came and went, some North Jersey businesses are still in its grip. While many that lost power and sustained damage are back to normal, some that were in the path of the flooding that washed through Moonachie and Carlstadt after a surge sent river water over a berm are gone or near the breaking point.
Destroyed equipment, lost sales, cash flow problems, damaged customer confidence and continued wrangling over insurance claims are just some of the legacies of the storm.
"There are a lot of businesses struggling out there," said Jim Kirkos, chief executive of the Meadowlands Regional Chamber of Commerce. "I fear that more businesses than I want to admit will be forced to shut their doors."
Many are locked in a waiting game, unable to move ahead in their recovery until their insurance company determines how much, if any, it will pay and cuts a check, or the Small Business Administration, the main source of federal assistance to Sandy-damaged business, approves a loan.
Lost customers
Carlstadt-based Pictorial Corp., a 75-year-old high-quality printing business, closed for a month after 18 inches of water flooded its 200,000-square-foot plant. It has returned to about 90 percent of its production capacity, said its managing director, Donald Samuels. But it's struggling to meet customer orders without two binding and packing machines that await the return of electronic components sent away for repair.
The company, which has 200 employees, also is waiting for the remaining $700,000 of a $1 million federal flood insurance payment, and to hear how much it will get from a private insurance policy for damages totaling $10 million, including lost sales, Samuels said.
"Some customers knew that we were damaged and, because everything that we do is time-sensitive, took their work to other printers," Samuels said. "Only time will tell if we lost clients on a long-term basis."
Time has run out for Fleet Source, a truck parts and service business in Moonachie, which closed on Dec. 31, two months after its repair and parts warehouse was flooded. The business, which had no flood insurance, had been for sale.
Fleet Source Leasing, another company under the same ownership, was sold after the storm, said Bob Lillis, vice president of Fleet Source. But interest in the parts and service business disappeared, he said.
"The inventory was not available for sale," he said, and prospective buyers were wary about future floods. "They said, 'Well if it happened this time, it could happen again.' "
In neighboring Carlstadt, Peter Lobel, co-owner of Tribeca Oven, which makes frozen artisan bread, said the company has put many — but not all — of its problems behind it.
The factory, which has 250 employees, was closed for three weeks, largely because of the destruction of the computerized parts of its sophisticated ovens and dough making machines. Much of the electronics had to be sent to Virginia for repair, or replaced.
By mid-November, two new dough-pummeling machines arrived from Italy at a cost of about $100,000. Lobel said he's unsure whether they are covered by insurance. The supplier was able to send them quickly because one of his European clients was touched by Tribeca Oven's plight and agreed to have his own machine order shipped to New Jersey, Lobel said.
The bakery learned that it will get a smaller insurance payout than expected, after discovering that only one of its two buildings was covered by flood insurance.
"We thought both were covered, but only one was," Lobel said.
And the bakery awaits the response to its application to the SBA for a $2 million loan, which will help replace four ovens destroyed in the storm, Lobel said.
3,661 loans sought
The federal agency said that by Jan. 22 it had it received 3,661 disaster business loan applications in New Jersey and approved 279, totaling $30,594,500.
Kathy Cook, the SBA's spokeswoman, said the agency will help businesses that have sustained physical damage, or economic losses that are directly attributable to Sandy. The agency provides loans of up to $2 million, and any New Jersey business potentially could be eligible because all of the state is considered a disaster area, she said.
"Loans are intended to keep businesses in operation and provide funds to continue operations until things normalize," Cook said.
Kirkos, of the Meadowlands chamber, said that most Sandy-struck small businesses he talks to cite cash flow as their biggest concern. "If they are not sitting on significant reserves, then their only alternative is to borrow some money" to cover wages and expenses.
No flood coverage
It's a scenario that Alicia Ruschke knows well. Her company, JJK Distributor, an importer and distributor of German chocolates and other gourmet foods, lost about a third of its inventory, worth about $200,000, and suffered more in other damage when the storm sent 2 feet of water into the 6,400-square-foot offices and warehouse of her Moonachie business.
The storm destroyed an electric forklift and damaged two pallet movers, which she says cost more than $75,000, and she had to lay off three of her 11 employees. The water also destroyed a new $7,000 color laser printer, so she can no longer print marketing materials.
Yet she has little money to buy more and get the business back on its feet. She has gotten only $25,000 from her insurance company, for refrigerated food destroyed when the office lost power, she said. And she had no flood insurance because she moved into the warehouse only last year and was unaware of the flood threat.
On top of that, the SBA denied her loan application, concerned that her 2012 receivables were smaller than the year's expenses, she said.
Lost holiday sales
Such an imbalance could suggest a weakness in her business. But Ruschke said the receivable shortfall stemmed from the damage from the storm, which severely reduced her holiday season revenue — the largest part of her annual income. The SBA has since given her time to apply again and support the application with her 2012 tax filing, she said. But even that's proving difficult because some key required documents were destroyed by the flood, she said.
"Getting a disaster loan seems even more difficult than going to a bank," she said. "It just seems that nobody wants to pay."
Because of the timing of the storm, just before the holidays, Ruschke said it was all but impossible to order more goods.
"I probably lost $150,000 in sales, easily," or 25 percent to 30 percent of the company's annual sales, said Ruschke. Some suppliers, seeing her precarious situation, declined to give her any additional goods until she had paid for items supplied to her in the past – some of which were destroyed by the storm.
Strained dealings
And while some customers were understanding, she said, "there was definitely a larger percentage that were angry, because they lost sales. They placed their order back in August, and now their order was gone."
"Some were, 'I don't care what happened, I want my stuff. Just get it. Take it from someone else,' " Ruschke said.
Nevertheless, she said, she was helped by the generosity of some people she does business with, including a supplier who has been willing to give her additional inventory and extended payment terms.
"I feel beat up … I'm exhausted. It's so depressing," said Ruschke, but she added that she thinks the business will survive,
"It will probably take a few years to get back to normal again," she said, with a grim laugh.
"As long as we have no more hurricanes."

Great scrubs that hold up with repeated use...

As a medical student, I have to have scrubs that hold up with constant use and washings that are also comfortable enough to wear across multiple settings. The scrub set I've bought from Carhartt have held up for the past couple years very well.

President Barack Obama has proposed a $3.73 trillion budget which, even if its extremely unrealistic economic assumptions pan out, would add $7 trillion to our $14 trillion national debt over the next decade. And we already face a record $1.65 trillion deficit this fiscal year — the worst since we had to borrow to finance our victory in World War II!
We do not expect the president and Congress to balance the budget all of a sudden. But when we are in a financial hole, with the economic dirt caving in around us, shouldn't we at least avoid digging deeper still?
Do you want our debt to grow to $16.7 trillion by Sept. 30, 2012, as the Obama plan projects. Remember: We pay hundreds of billions of dollars in taxes annually just to cover interest on the debt. That's spending taken out of the job-creating private sector.
Obama proposes cutting deficits — over 10 years, long after he will be out of office — by only $1.1 trillion. And he mostly ignores massive spending on Social Security and Medicare. What's just as troubling is that his budget unrealistically assumes there will be far faster economic growth than either the Congressional Budget Office or private forecasters predict.
The president proposes spending more for education (which constitutionally is not a federal job), biomedical research, energy efficiency, high-speed rail and other "good" things. But it all would be irresponsibly financed by more red ink.
Obama, to his credit, would reduce or halt spending for more than 200 programs, saving $33 billion in 2012. He would reduce some spending on higher education grants and the military, and some projects for public health and water treatment. But an added $7 trillion in debt over the next 10 years proves that is not nearly enough economizing in this time of economic stagnation and unemployment.
A writer for the Internet magazine Slate.com put it starkly: "[L]et's cut [the budget plan] down to a useful, human, household size. Next year, the government plans to take in $2.63 trillion — and to spend $3.73 trillion. For our purposes, let's use $60,000 as the government's income and $85,000 as its expenses."
That, of course, is a recipe for bankruptcy.
Not everything Obama wants will become law. Congress has the actual spending authority.
Will Congress assert the responsibility that Obama has abdicated? The American people should insist on it.
Opinion » Free Press Wednesday, Feb. 16, 2011 An irresponsible budget plan
Reply to FP Opinion: It appears that people do not understand or realize there is a cycle occurring here that the down turn cannot be turned around instantly with drastic cuts in spending by the government without having adverse negative effects which will make our conditiion worse instead of better. There also appears to be more misinformation being put out by the opponents of Obama. Since everyone wants to bring up how much the total National Debt is and how much President Obamas budget deficit is, let us not forget all of Bush's unfunded issues that Obama has also added to his 2010 budget. I don't see any cut in the Congress persons' pay yet? Below are some sites which many of you will not like.
US National Debt Graph: What They Never Tell You http://zfacts.com/p/318.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYw3ks... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1bZ-T... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5yxFt... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7V4Unb...
The US consumers, industrial and our masses of regular consumers, apparently do not think what the effects of creating an unsustainable $40 - $50 billion dollars per month trade deficit soes to the US economy when they buy imported goods supplied by the "global corporate monopolies"? Over a period of ten years how much money has this already accummulated for the Companies having their manufacturing done in the lower monetary vaqlue countries? Does $4800 billion dollars sound about right? Do we know who is getting the "net profit" from the money we spend?

We take this evening and bedtime, in two doses, around 800mg total. It is helpful for leg cramps, twitches, and certain resistant forms of low mood issues. It seems to help lift mood in many cases.

First time I try this brand (KAL) of magnesium and so far I'm very happy. I bought it for Blood Pressure control and is working very good. I also notice that some pain that I had in my shoulder disappeared in one day and I have this feeling of "Calmness"all day long. Pills are big but I'm OK with that. Too soon to give it five stars but, it looks I will in the future. No issues with loose stools or diarrhea. Great Price and shipping always the best.

I was researching for a natual muscle relaxant. I initially tried another glycinate product, but it had malic acid which seemed to affect my stomach. This is definitely easy on the stomach, I can even take on an empty stomach. However, I do not feel any effects from it. I traveled for 3 weeks so I did not take these (warning: these are horse pills, if you can't take big pills, you'll have a hard time). I noticed no difference. Since I've been back, I started taking them again and I notice no difference. I still have locked muscles and feel no sedating effect or sleep any deeper. Perhaps it works differently in other people, but for me these did absolutely nothing, just $21 less in my account.

If there is a cream of the crop of magnesium products, this one would be it. It can be taken with a glass of milk to get your calcium and magnesium simultaneously. One pill of KAL per one cup milk or take with food. This is an easy on the stomach, highly absorbable magnesium that gives very fast results in terms of muscle tension and anxiety. Many midlife women like to take it just before bedtime with a glass of warm milk as a sort of very mild sedative. If you are taking a calcium pill that contains no magnesium, this would make a fine addition and take them both with a meal. This pill should not be chewed as the fine dust will go up into the nasal cavitiy and burn. If you must chew it, chew it with food or under liquids where it cannot dissolve into a fine powder and be inhaled. Very recommended if you have high blood pressure or alot of muscle tension, take one with AM meal and one with PM meal in that case.

Results 1 to 3 of 3
So I have had this happen many times and can't figure it out. I am hoping others have had it happen or that an update will fix it. I have had my micro SD card that is attached will without warning just disconnect and then reconnect, or sometimes I will have to pull it out and re attach it myself. I have had this happen with one of my external HD's as well. It never happens when I am loading a file or anything it is only when it is idle. It's almost like it feels like surface is in standby mode so just disconnects.
I have the same problem with the micro SD card slot. Often, the card is not detected, and I have to take it out and reinsert it. I I thought at first that the card may have slide out a bit but it happens so frequently that I assume this is a bug in the O/S.
I thought it was a bug to but now i'm thinking it is a hardware defect. I really hope that I am wrong but on mine every time I press even very softly on that outside flap that holds it in it disconnects. This makes sense because when it happens is when I open or close the stand part.
but obviously this is not a widespread problem or more people would be complaining about it. I am going to take it in to the Microsoft store tomorrow because I have been having problems with the screen not coming back on after going into sleep mode to.

Ezh1 and Ezh2 Maintain Repressive Chromatin through Different Mechanisms
Molecular Cell, Volume 32, Issue 4, 21 November 2008, Pages 503-518
Raphael Margueron, Guohong Li, Kavitha Sarma, Alexandre Blais, Jiri Zavadil, Christopher L. Woodcock, Brian D. Dynlacht and Danny Reinberg
SummaryPolycomb group proteins are critical to maintaining gene repression established during Drosophila development. Part of this group forms the PRC2 complex containing Ez that catalyzes di- and trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K37me2/3), marks repressive to transcription. We report that the mammalian homologs Ezh1 and Ezh2 form similar PRC2 complexes but exhibit contrasting repressive roles. While PRC2-Ezh2 catalyzes H3K27me2/3 and its knockdown affects global H3K27me2/3 levels, PRC2-Ezh1 performs this function weakly. In accordance, Ezh1 knockdown was ineffectual on global H3K27me2/3 levels. Instead, PRC2-Ezh1 directly and robustly represses transcription from chromatinized templates and compacts chromatin in the absence of the methyltransferase cofactor SAM, as evidenced by electron microscopy. Ezh1 targets a subset of Ezh2 genes, yet Ezh1 is more abundant in nonproliferative adult organs while Ezh2 expression is tightly associated with proliferation, as evidenced when analyzing aging mouse kidney. These results might reflect subfunctionalization of a PcG protein during evolution.

EZH1 Mediates Methylation on Histone H3 Lysine 27 and Complements EZH2 in Maintaining Stem Cell Identity and Executing Pluripotency
Molecular Cell, Volume 32, Issue 4, 21 November 2008, Pages 491-502
Xiaohua Shen, Yingchun Liu, Yu-Jung Hsu, Yuko Fujiwara, Jonghwan Kim, Xiaohong Mao, Guo-Cheng Yuan and Stuart H. Orkin
SummaryTrimethylation on H3K27 (H3K27me3) mediated by Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) has been linked to embryonic stem cell (ESC) identity and pluripotency. EZH2, the catalytic subunit of PRC2, has been reported as the sole histone methyltransferase that methylates H3K27 and mediates transcriptional silencing. Analysis of Ezh2−/− ESCs suggests existence of an additional enzyme(s) catalyzing H3K27 methylation. We have identified EZH1, a homolog of EZH2 that is physically present in a noncanonical PRC2 complex, as an H3K27 methyltransferase in vivo and in vitro. EZH1 colocalizes with the H3K27me3 mark on chromatin and preferentially preserves this mark on development-related genes in Ezh2−/− ESCs. Depletion of Ezh1 in cells lacking Ezh2 abolishes residual methylation on H3K27 and derepresses H3K27me3 target genes, demonstrating a role of EZH1 in safeguarding ESC identity. Ezh1 partially complements Ezh2 in executing pluripotency during ESC differentiation, suggesting that cell-fate transitions require epigenetic specificity.

Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 Regulates Normal Hematopoietic Stem Cell Function in a Developmental-Stage-Specific Manner
Cell Stem Cell, Volume 14, Issue 1, 2 January 2014, Pages 68-80
Huafeng Xie, Jian Xu, Jessie H. Hsu, Minh Nguyen, Yuko Fujiwara, Cong Peng and Stuart H. Orkin
SummaryRecent studies point to a pivotal role of Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) in stem cell function and cancer. Loss-of-function approaches targeting individual PRC2 subunits have, however, generated findings that are difficult to reconcile. Here, we prevent assembly of both Ezh1- and Ezh2-containing PRC2 complexes by conditional deletion of Eed, a core subunit, and assess hematopoiesis. We find that deletion of Eed exhausts adult bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), although fetal liver HSCs are produced in normal numbers. Eed-null neonatal HSCs express HSC signature genes but are defective in maintenance and differentiation. Comparative gene expression profiling revealed that neonatal and adult HSCs lacking Eed upregulated gene sets of conflicting pathways. Deletion of Cdkn2a, a PRC2 target gene, in Eed-null mice enhances hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell (HSPC) survival but fails to restore HSC functions. Taken together, our findings define developmental-stage-specific requirements for canonical PRC2 complexes in normal HSC function.

Polar Vortex: Is It Coming Your Way?!?
by Hilton Hater at . Updated at .There are certain terms no American wants to hear: Tila Tequila sex tape. Kate Upon clothed. Justin Bieber retiring.
And to this list we can now add Polar Vortex, as areas across the Midwest and East Coast are becoming all too familiar with this frigid weather phenomenon.
A Polar Vortex is a whirlpool of freezing air and it descend upon various parts of the country today.
Those in Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin are experiencing subzero temperatures and more than a foot of snow. They are being encouraged to remain inside.
"It's just a dangerous cold," National Weather Service meteorologist Butch Dye says, referring to places such as Fargo, North Dakota, where the forecast is for 32 degrees below zero.
Frostbite and hypothermia often set in quickly at 15 to 30 below zero.
The weather is wreaking havoc on travel, as well, with thousands of flights canceled yesterday through Chicago, St. Louis and Indianapolis.
Attractions such as the St. Louis Art Museum and St. Louis Zoo have been closed indefinitely, while the Indiana Supreme Court is closed and even southern states are bracing for record-low temperatures.
There are endless snow days around the country, but let's hope those happy kids are bundled up to the fullest extend while they sled and play around. It's seriously dangerous out there.

Thank God for the continental deep freeze. It is an overdue natural savior. It has basically wiped out the the deadly pine beetle that has destroyed British Columbia pine forests and was spreading like the plague to the east and south. Now it is dead in its tracks, saving millions upon millions of acres of pine forests across North America.
Also, hopefully, the deep freeze has done the same to the Asian Carp that threatened to spread into the Great Lakes and further across the continent, destroying marine life like nothing else has ever crippled it.
As well, other invasive plant, marine, reptiles and other introduced species that were wrecking the environment have probably been destroyed, or at least weaken severely, by the icy weather, further protecting what is left of America's natural environment.
Thank God for environment saving the Arctic vortex that people are stupidly complaining about. It is saving me/you/us.

Look for extended restrictions at the Lake Station Indiana Toll Road exit beginning this Monday [Oct 28 2013] at Milepost 21 as ramp bridges will be replaced where the Indiana Toll Road, Borman Expressway and State Road 51 converge. The project begins with the closure of the westbound exit ramp to Interstate 94, marking the start of ITR Concession Company's extensive reconstruction of the Lake Station ramp structures. The closure of the Lake Station westbound exit ramp will last about a year-and-a-half. The entire existing bridge deck and superstructure, along with the concrete pier caps, will be removed. Traffic seeking to exit at Milepost 21 will be diverted to Exit 17, Gary East to take I-65 south and reconnect with I-94. Exits 17 and Exit 21 on the toll road are both free exits. The entire project is expected to be completed in April 2015. [Image/ITC Concession Co.]
News Release:
LAKE STATION, Ind. – Beginning Monday, Oct. 28, 2013, extended restrictions will be in place at the Lake Station Exit (Milepost 21) on the Indiana Toll Road.
The project begins with the closure of the westbound exit ramp (from ITR to I-94), and marks the beginning of ITR Concession Co.'s extensive reconstruction of the Lake Station ramp structures. It will include repairing or replacing various elements of three structures within the exit: BHX-A, BHX-B and Structure 5262 (see attached map for clarification). Each will be removed and rebuilt with the same configurations and footprints of the existing structures. Upon completion, the interchange will function as it did prior to the project. No permanent removal of any structure is planned.
The closure of the MP 21 westbound exit ramp (BHX-B) will begin on Monday, Oct. 28, and will last approximately 1.5 years. The entire existing bridge deck and superstructure, along with the concrete pier caps, will be removed. After BHX-B is removed, BHX-A (located beneath BHX-B) will be removed and rebuilt. Concurrently, Str. 5262 will be rebuilt (it is anticipated that one lane will remain open on Str. 5262 during construction). After BHX-A is removed and rebuilt, BHX-B will then be rebuilt.
Beginning Oct. 28, westbound traffic seeking to exit at MP 21 will be diverted to Exit 17, Gary East. At Gary East, patrons are to take I-65 south and re-connect with I-94. Exit 17 remains a free exit, just as Exit 21.
"ITRCC is pleased to announce the necessary improvements being made to the Lake Station Exit," said Fernando Redondo, ITRCC CEO. "The rebuilding of these structures will undoubtedly make for smoother travel for patrons.
"We ask that drivers please be patient during this closure, as we believe the end product will be well worth the wait," he said.
Construction on BHX-A and Str. 5262 are tentatively scheduled to begin in February 2014; notices will be sent at that time. The entire process is expected to be completed in April 2015.

How the heck is summer more than half over? Yes, the heat has been stifling – almost unbearable at times – but it seems like only last week we were still wondering if we needed a sweater and anticipating the last day of school.
Instead of getting caught up in thinking about school supplies and the crisp fall days ahead, I want to make the most of the summer we have left by doing the things that only happen in the summer. Inspired by a summer to-do list for kids I saw on Pinterest (which I am totally starting at the beginning of the summer next year and definitely getting my kids to help come up with the list), I decided to make a list of the things I'd still like to do with my kids before summer 2012 is over for good. There is definitely still time to accomplish most of these.
I'm making a commitment to our summer to-do list for the last few weeks of summer (and probably into September). I'm printing it out and posting it in my kitchen for inspiration, especially on the days with nothing on the calendar.
My kiddos, especially my son, are at an age that they are starting to appreciate learning and have a little longer attention span, but I think this is a great concept and can be tailored to any family, any age kids and any time frame.
So here goes:
- Stargazing. We are visiting my parents for a little vacation in an area where the stars are so much brighter and more visible than they are at home. I'm planning to let my 4-year-old stay up late one night to go out and look at the stars. He'll be amazed.
- Summer time capsule. I love Jenn's idea at the Clean and Scentsible Blog for creating a time capsule of the Summer of 2012. I think it has the potential to be a summer tradition for years to come!
- Use the pool. While I am pretty sick of slathering on sunscreen and chasing two energy balls around the pool, I think it's necessary to continue using the pool and getting my kids in the water as much as I can while the weather is still warm. Swimming is a life-skill that they both still need to master and I think the more time we spend in or near the water, the better.
- Practice shoe tying. It's time. My son is ready and wants to learn. We have more time to focus on it in the summer.
- Line dry the dipes. I always say I love the way my diapers look and feel after drying on the rack in the sun outside, but I can usually find an excuse not to haul them downstairs and outside to actually do it. My to-do list includes getting them out in the backyard, in the sun on a regular basis, before winter makes it impossible.
- Bubbles!
- Visit grandparents. I have still have two living grandfathers. One is almost 101 and the other is 90 and they both live several hours away from us, which makes it difficult to visit them when the rhythm of the school year gets the best of us. I think it's very important for my kids to get to know their great-grandfathers and important for me to spend time with them, so we're road-tripping it this summer!
- Watch the Olympics. It's a great chance to talk to both of my kids about geography, different cultures and especially to expose them to different sports. Not to mention the dedication and physical commitment the athletes have made to their sport and their country. We have the DVR set!
- Nature scavenger hunt. Saw this one on Pinterest too from Chrissy at The Taylor House. Such a great idea, especially while we are visiting my parents in a more remote, rustic part of the country. And will be fun for both my preschooler and my toddler.
- Paint rocks. This is sort of a selfish one, but I'd love a little homemade décor for the garden, so I'm planning to enlist my über-creative kids to get painting, gluing and creating!
- Make s'mores. Preferrably over a campfire.
It's not a huge list, but definitely doable for the remainder of the summer. Yes, there is still time! What will be on your end-of-summer to-do list?

There is some question as to what you really get with green drives as far as actual drive speed goes. I'll pass on this one.

Yeah, aren't they supposed to be 5400 RPM drives, but that's never advertised anywhere?
The WD20EADS' rotational speed may not be advertised in bold flashing text on every site, but it's easy enough to find. That said, the spindle speed is irrelevant consider the fact that most people buy it for mass storage.
I want the best HDD in the market... I want 2+TB hdd with SATA 6 GBPS socket 64mb cache and atleast 7200rpm
