Taking a successful step in the music business requires plenty of talent, but also a measure of luck. And for a trio of local musicians, a recent one-off performance sparked a whirlwind of attention and video clicks.
Carolyn Miller of Massapequa, Mikel James of Farmingdale and David Wong of Huntington Station were on separate musical paths before convening to record a cover of "Say Something," a song originally released by A Great Big World and then re-released featuring Christina Aguilera.

With kids today obsessed with all the latest electronic gaming gadgets — the Playstation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo 3DS, and the like — you'd think that the comparatively antiquated concept of pushing a piece of plastic along a sheet of cardboard would be eschewed by your average teenager; however, judging by the crowd of kids at the Massapequa Public Library's Board Game Café, this actually may not be the case.
Young Adult Services librarian Peter Cirona, who created the Board Game Café at the library's Central Avenue branch (in addition to a whole host of other young adult programs), said that it's a great way for kids to socialize and play some classic board games in a fun and friendly environment.

One of Major League Soccer's top front office executives has many fond memories of growing up in the Long Island Junior Soccer League (LIJSL). Bill Manning, the President of Western Conference champion Real Salt Lake and the club's field, Rio Tinto Stadium, played for the LIJSL Select Team from 1979 to '83 as well as the Massapequa Soccer Club from 1972 to '83.
Manning's Massapequa teams had virtually the same players from Under-10 to Under-19, but kept changing their name depending on who their coach was. He played for the Massapequa Flying Dutchmen (coached by Kurt Knoblauch), the Massapequa Bugs (Dick Roche), the Massapequa Cosmos (Jerry Lyons) and the Massapequa Bulls (coached by his father, also named Bill Manning). The Bulls might have lost in the Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association (ENYYSA) State Open Cup finals to B/W Gottschee in overtime in 1983, but his teams won the LIJSL division championship in 1974, '76 and '79 plus the Long Island Cup in 1980 and '83.

If the games were played on paper, Massapequa would've had no shot. The Chiefs faced a tall order last week playing Elmont, which boasted a 12-3 record and four premier scorers. They gave a tremendous effort, but ultimately had their season cut short, 69-62, despite Alex Cosenza leading the scoring with 29 points.
"I can't ask for anything else from these guys," said Head Coach Matt Voigt. "I am so proud of them. I applaud their efforts,"

1980s computers Video
1980s computers Video Transcript
Welcome to CNET Top 5, where each time we meet, we count down another hot CNET list. I'm Tom Merritt. If the 1940s was the golden age of comics, the 1980s must be the golden age of computers. While personal computers went mass market in the late 1970s, they came into there own during the Regan era. But of all the 1980s computers we so knew and loved, which one reigned supreme? Let's count down the Top 5 1980s computers. At No. 5, the Amiga. I used an Amiga 2000 to generate onscreen graphics when I did news for Cable Channel 2 in Champaign-Urbana, Ill. It was technically a 32-bit system that could do up to 16-million colors. In 1985! Coming in at No. 4, the TI-99/4A. This was my first computer, and I still have it. Right here. Through it's serial expansion port you could do speech synthesis, add a modem, and directly print, among other things. It also could play Parsec. And it was the first domestic 16- bit computer. Up to No. 3, the Apple II. This was the first computer I learned to program on. The first Apple II was birthed in 1977, but the II-plus, the IIC, the IIe and others reigned mightily throughout the decade of decadence. The IIe was the last line terminated in March of 1993. Sliding in at No. 2, the Trash-80. In my first programming class, us Apple II users hated the evil TRS-80 hacks. But its solid BASIC and it's affordable price made it a common choice for schools, homes, and small businesses. And to be honest, I salivated over them every time I went into a Radio Shack in those days. Before we get to No. 1, it's time for another lame prize. And what an appropriate prize it is. This book of BASIC computer games AND MORE BASIC computer games could be yours. Just answer the trivia question at the blog post for this Top 5 at blog.cnettv.com. Be one of the first 10 people to get it right and you could win the books. Here's the question. What was the best-selling single personal computer model of all time. All right. Let's get to our No. 1. The top computer of the 1980s. A computer still loved and emulated across the world At No. 1, it's... The Commodore 64. I remember the day I decided to sell my TI-99 in exchange for the promise of getting a Commodore 64. Sure, it was only 8-bit, but it had 64K of memory. 64K! That ought to be enough for anybody! I wrote programs. I played games. Shoot, I ran a whole computer baseball league on it. The C64 was a dream machine. And I still love mine. Well, that's it for this edition of CNET Top 5. Obviously you will have some quibbles with this, you IBM PC, Macintosh, Epson QX-16 proponents among others. So make your opinion known on our blog, blog.cnettv.com, and while there answer the trivia question and you could win the BASIC computer game books! I'm Tom Merritt. See you next time.

Emma Hockridge, Soil Association head of policy said: The Soil Association welcomes the Global Food Report from the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Food waste is an important issue and if we didn't waste so much, we'd put less pressure on the environment.
Eliminating food losses, combined with increasing environmentally sustainable farming such as organic and other agro-ecological systems can help the world feed itself.
The relationship between consumers and their food has changed and many people are now more distanced from food production seeing little link with the end product. Our projects like Community Supported Agriculture and the Food for Life Partnership have made fantastic steps to improve understanding about where our food comes from and the importance of locally sourced, seasonal and affordable food. We believe that when people value food they will waste less.

PaperToyClothing.com, an online boutique providing wearable art for young men and boys, launches today. Artistic designs and philanthropic inspiration from young Santana Draper, who donates a portion of the proceeds to Kids Meals, Inc. to feed children in Houston.
Houston, TX (PRWEB) February 20, 2014
After overhearing the adults discussing how a storm had devastated the lives of some families--including wiping out the recent Christmas presents for the kids--a very young Santana Draper walked into the room with an armful of his toys and told his Mom, You can give them my toys, I can make more out of paper.
Santana likes to work in paperhed created many sketches, some of which his mother, Natalie, had turned into t-shirts for him, garnering inquiries from other moms My son wants one of those, where did you get that shirt?
Santanas parents, Natalie Mills and Tony Draper, wanted to support and provide their son with opportunities to create and donate, so they enabled him to develop a limited edition t-shirt series for boys and young men with a portion of the proceeds going to Kids Meals of Houston.

Future donations from PaperToyClothing will help us achieve our goal of increasing the number of daily lunches this year from 1700 to 2500, says Cristina Vetrano, Executive Director of Kids Meals of Houston.

CNC Routered Emergency Stop Case
By karlw
I finally got around to picking up a big red emergency stop switch for my taig CNC milling machine. After checking my spare parts bins I realized that I didn't have a case to mount it in but I did have lots of 1/4-inch mdf lying around. I fired up my CAD program and drew up a flat-pack style of box that I could cut out on the CNC router table.
Click through for more details…
Here you can see the box with all of the parts snapped together.
All of the pieces were cut from one piece of MDF in a single run.
Now all I need to do is glue all the pieces in place, paint it black and wire up the switch.

Supernatural Santana: A Trip Through the Hits Tickets and Concert Dates
Delivered with a level of passion and soul equal to the legendary sonic charge of his guitar, the sound of Carlos Santana is one of the world's best-known musical signatures. For more than four decades - from Santana's earliest days as a groundbreaking Afro-Latin-blues-rock fusion outfit in San Francisco - Carlos has been the visionary force behind artistry that transcends musical genres, generational, cultural and geographical boundaries.
Long before the category now known as "world music" was named, Santana's ever-evolving sound has always been ahead of its time in its universal appeal, and today registers as ideally in sync with the 21st century's pan-cultural landscape. And, with a dedication to humanitarian outreach and social activism that parallels his lifelong relationship with music, Carlos Santana is as much an exemplary world citizen as a global music icon.
Carlos Santana's current project is Supernatural Santana: A Trip Through The Hits, a musical retrospective created exclusively for the new Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. Santana will be the first act to hold a residency at the spectacular, newly-expanded venue, and the band will perform 72 times at the Joint over the course of 2009 and 2010. The show, produced by AEG live and debuting in May '09, includes Santana numbers ranging from "Jingo"—the group's first-ever charting single—and early classics including "Black Magic Woman" and "Oye Como Va" through the Supernatural "Smooth" years and the group's most recent hit, 2008's "Into the Night."
Carlos' influence and idealism is also felt in the groundbreaking new project Architects of a New Dawn, a multi-platform media enterprise and social network designed to empower like-minded people from all walks of life to create positive change in the global community. The project grew out of a vision Carlos has been developing for almost 20 years to engage his worldwide audience with extraordinary music, progressive media content and transformational ideas. It is all in the service of building—architecting—a new reality for the planet based on inspiration, creativity, love and forgiveness.
Santana's star arrived in the era-defining late '60s San Francisco Bay area music scene with historic shows at the Fillmore and other venues. They emerged onto the global stage with an epic set at Woodstock '69, the same year that their self-titled debut LP came out. Introducing Santana's first Top 10 hit, "Evil Ways," the disc stayed on Billboard's album chart for 2 years, and was soon followed by two more classics - and Billboard #1 albums - Abraxas and Santana III.
Forty years and as many albums later, Santana has sold more than 90 million records and reached over 100 million fans at concerts around the globe. To date, Santana has won ten GRAMMY® Awards and two Latin GRAMMYs. Among them are a bevy for 1999's Supernatural—which has sold more than 26 million copies worldwide—including GRAMMYs for Album of the Year and Record of the Year for "Smooth." In 1998, the group was ushered into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, whose web page on their induction notes, "Guitarist Carlos Santana is one of rock's true virtuosos and guiding lights." Among many other honors, Carlos Santana has also been cited by Rolling Stone as #15 on their list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists Of All Time," and #90 on their 2005 survey of the "100 Greatest Artists Of All Time."
Most recently, Carlos Santana is the recipient of the Billboard Latin Music Awards' 2009 Lifetime Achievement honor (he also received Billboard's Century Award in 1996), and the music of Santana has been celebrated with two album retrospectives. Multi-Dimensional Warrior (Columbia/Arista/Legacy, 2008) is a career-spanning 2-CD anthology presenting 28 selections hand-picked by Carlos, who calls the project, "a love letter to the fans." Divided between tracks with vocals and instrumental compositions, it emphasizes album cuts and personal favorites that evoke the band's hypnotic musical power and give deeper insight into its complex creative journey. The set follows up 2007's Ultimate Santana, the only single-disc collection uniting hits from the group's recent albums for Arista and classics from their Columbia years.
As profound as his artistic legacy is Carlos' dedication to humanitarian work. His Milagro Foundation, originally established by Carlos and Deborah Santana in 1998, has granted more than three million dollars to non-profit programs supporting underserved children and youth in the areas of arts, education and health. Milagro means "miracle," and the image of children as divine miracles of light and hope - as gifts to our lives - is the inspiration behind its name.

Switching SIM card across devices
First off, why is there no search option within the Verizon Galaxy S3 sub category of the forum so that I can see if this has already been asked? Or is it there and I just didn't see it. Anyway, to my question: If I purchased an ASUS Transformer Pad TF300TG which has SIM support (LTE, 3G, etc) could I take the SIM card out of my Galaxy S3 and use my Verizon mobile data plan in the tablet?
Thanks! - 11-17-2012, 08:18 PM #2

Re: Switching SIM card across devices
Just wondering if they would even be able to tell. I hesitate to ask them because even if I can do it with no issue they would tell me I can't just to get me to buy a tablet from them. Might try one of their forums but I just don't know how honest they would be.

Asics "Lovers & Haters" Pack
January 24th, 2014 by Brendan Dunne | 15 comments
Asics is amongst the brands that will be chipping in with some Valentines Day sneakers for February. Their offerings, consisting of the Asics Gel Saga and the Asics Gel Lyte III, are spotted here and have apparently been christened as the "Lovers and Haters" pack. With that being said we're not really sure which pair would be made to play either of those roles considering that both the sneakers are dressed up in Valentines red. See both of them in better detail below and look for the Asics "Lovers & Haters" pack to make its debut in February.

Operation Summary for March 24, 2010 - March 26, 2010 |
Wednesday March 24 The day shift began with Operations monitoring the Tevatron (TeV) store 7704 (109.33E30) and the Recycler stash (241.8E10), with the Antiproton Source stacking (3.1E10), with the Linac, Booster, and Main Injector (MI) operating normally, with the NuMI, MiniBooNE, and the Meson MTest experiments taking beam, and with the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) and D-Zero (D0) experiments using the colliding beams. During the day shift, one antiproton transfer was lost when a power supply (M:V105) did not ramp properly. During the evening shift, Operations terminated store 7704 at 5:54 PM. RF personnel repaired a TeV RF station (TRF8) and brought it back online after the store was terminated. Operations disabled the MTest beam at 6:05 PM. Operations put the TeV into shot setup and established store 7705 at 7:01 PM with an average initial luminosity (AIL) of 376.4E30. A MI RF station (MIRF18) tripped off several times and then wouldn't reset. Operators bypassed the station and brought MIRF15 on in its place. Operations reported some downtime due to Linac trips (LRF5 and the Klystron Vernier). Thursday March 25 The midnight shift began with Operations monitoring store 7705 (163.68E30) and the stash (140.4E10), with Pbar stacking (8.8E10), and with NuMI and MiniBooNE taking beam. During the midnight shift, Operations established beam to MTest at 5:51 AM. Operations reported some downtime when the I- Source SRM failed, which inhibited beam out of the source. The source recovered, but its output was down by about 50%. Operations consulted the source expert and he came in to investigate. He had recovered the source with almost all the lost intensity by 6:30 AM. During the day shift, Operations terminated store 7705 at 1:55 PM and put the TeV into shot setup. Operations established store 7706 at 3:18 PM with an AIL of 348E30. Cryo system personnel worked on the sectors C4 wet engine and controls personnel worked on the TeV C1 BPM code. MI personnel restored the MI-10 LCW system to its semi-normal mode (LCW okay, but no backup pond water pump). During the evening shift, Operations reported that problems with TeV vacuum and cryo system eventually resulted in the termination of store 7706 at 6:01 PM. Operators prepared the TeV and D0 for access. Mechanical technicians changed out the LCW filters at A4 and F3 due to differential pressure alarms. Operations disabled the MTest beam at 6 PM. Operations reported some stacking downtime due to problems with DRF1-7, which tripped due to a blown fuse on the fan filament control chassis. Friday March 26 The midnight shift began with the TeV turn on in progress, with Operations monitoring the stash (225.3E10), with Pbar stacking (19.1E10), and with NuMI and MiniBooNE taking beam. During the midnight shift, Operations put the TeV through a dry squeeze at 1 AM, followed by a wet squeeze, and orbit corrections. Operations put the TeV into shot setup at 3:38 AM. The shot setup was short-lived. A Booster kicker (MKS09) failed. Operations called in kicker personnel and they reterminated a faulted cable. Operations put the TeV into shot setup at 6:51 AM and established store 7711 at 7:51 AM with an AIL of 252.9E30. Another Booster kicker (MKS11) tripped off just before the end of the shift; kicker personnel investigated. The Plans for Friday and the Weekend The plans for today and the weekend are to stack, stash, and store. |

Epidemiology and Immunology of Hemophilia A Inhibitors
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
To determine the risk factors associated with inhibitor formation in hemophilia A and to study the mechanism of tolerance in the murine hemophilia A model.
Condition |
Blood Disease Hemophilia A |
Study Type: | Observational |
Study Design: | Observational Model: Natural History |
Study Start Date: | June 1998 |
Estimated Study Completion Date: | August 2003 |
The major hypothesis of this study is that suppression of immunoregulatory cytokines will prevent factor VIII inhibitor formation in the hemophilia A murine model: if successful, a treatment protocol could be developed for individuals identified to be at highest risk for inhibitor formation. Through this approach to the epidemiology and immunology of inhibitor formation, the health care of individuals with hemophilia may be improved.
The study is in response to a Request for Applications released in 1998 on the Immunogenetics of Inhibitor Formation in Hemophilia. .
A case-control study is conducted comparing prevalent hemophilia patients with inhibitors identified in the HMS Study with three age-matched controls without inhibitors to determine clinical and laboratory characteristics associated with inhibitor development. A histocompatibility study is conducted identifying patterns of HLA Class II antigens by molecular typing in hemophilic subjects identified in HMS, with and without inhibitors, which may be linked to inhibitor formation. An animal tolerance study is conducted in the hemophilia A murine model, evaluating blockade of T cell costimulatory pathways by CTLA4-Ig and anti-CD40L mAb, to prevent inhibitor formation.

Summary: TraG-like protein, N-terminal region
Pfam includes annotations and additional family information from a range of different sources. These sources can be accessed via the tabs below.
The Pfam group coordinates the annotation of Pfam families in Wikipedia, but we have not yet assigned a Wikipedia article to this family. If you think that a particular Wikipedia article provides good annotation, please let us know.
This tab holds the annotation information that is stored in the Pfam database. As we move to using Wikipedia as our main source of annotation, the contents of this tab will be gradually replaced by the Wikipedia tab.
TraG-like protein, N-terminal region Provide feedback
The bacterial sequences found in this family are similar to the N-terminal region of the TraG protein (P33790). This is a membrane-spanning protein, with three predicted transmembrane segments and two periplasmic regions [1]. TraG protein is known to be essential for DNA transfer in the process of conjugation, with the N-terminal portion being required for F pilus assembly [1,2]. The protein is thought to interact with the periplasmic domain of TraN (P24082) to stabilise mating-cell interactions [2].

IKEA in South Africa
I believe IKEA is overlooking a tremendous revenue opportunity by not planning a new store development in South Africa. Im sure those of you who have been to an IKEA overseas would agree that it is such a great fit with South Africa. To date, IKEA operates in every Continent except Africa. They say that Africa is not part of their \'Strategic Intent\' going forward. Im hoping that with enough signatures we can persuade them to rethink the possibility. I am hoping that the more signature we get the better our chances are of getting them to review their strategy. Please feel free to forward this to as many people as you think would love having IKEA \'around the corner\'
Please open an Ikea in South Africa in Limpopo

Presented at the 154th ARL Membership Meeting, "Transformational Times," May 2009, as part of the "Google Book Settlement 101" program.
Presented at the 154th ARL Membership Meeting, "Transformational Times," May 2009, as part of the "The Current Fiscal Landscape of Research Libraries" program.
Library association comments on the proposed settlement.
Members of library community discussed the implications of the Google Book Search settlement in a meeting hosted on February 9, 2009, in Washington, DC, by the American Library Association Washington Office, the Association of Research Libraries, and the Association of College & Research Libraries.
On August 11, 2005, Google announced that it would not scan copyrighted books under its Print Library Project until November, so that publishers could decide whether they want to opt their in-copyright books out of the project. Given the confusion in press reports describing the project, publishers should carefully study exactly what Google intends to do and understand the relevant copyright issues. This understanding should significantly diminish any anxiety publishers possess about the project.

A burn is damage to the skin and sometimes to the underlying tissues. Burns are categorized according to the depth and extent of the damage to the skin:
Superficial burn (also called first-degree burn)
- Mildest type of burn
- Often caused by ultraviolet light, or very short ("flash") flame exposure
- Affects only the outer layer of the skin (epidermis)
- Normally does not cause scarring
- Takes about 3-6 days to heal
Superficial partial-thickness burn (also called second-degree burn)
- Often caused by a scald (spill or splash) or short ("flash") flame exposure
- Affects the outer layer of the skin more deeply, usually causing blistering
- May or may not cause scarring, but often does cause long-term skin color changes
- Takes about 1-3 weeks to heal
Deep partial-thickness burn (also called second-degree burn)
- Often caused by a scald (spill), may involve flame, oil, or grease
- Affects the outer and underlying layer of skin (dermis), causing blistering
- Usually causes scarring
- Usually takes more than three weeks to heal
Full-thickness burn (also called third-degree burn)
- Very serious
- Often caused by scald (immersion), may involve flame, steam, oil, grease, chemicals, or high-voltage electricity
- Damages all layers of the skin, and may involve the tissues underneath (muscle and bone)
- Causes scarring
- Will heal only at the wound edges by scarring, unless skin grafting is done
Classification of Skin Burns
Burns can be caused by:
Heat or flame (thermal burns)
- Hot foods or drinks such as boiling water, tea, or coffee
- Hot oil or grease
- Hot tap water
- Direct heat such as stoves, heaters, or curling irons
- Direct flame
- Flammable liquids such as gasoline
- Fireworks
Chemicals (chemical burn)—strong acids or strong bases such as:
- Cleaning products
- Battery fluid
- Pool chemicals
- Drain cleaners
- Sunlight ( sunburn) or tanning beds
Electricity (
electrical burn)
- Damaged electrical cords
- Electrical outlets
- High-voltage wires
- Lightning
Radiation (radiation burn)
- Nuclear radiation
- X-rays
- Radiation therapy for cancer treatment
Risk Factors
A risk factor is something that increases your chance of getting a disease or condition.
Risk factors for burns include:
- Age: less than four years
- Sex: male
- Low socioeconomic status
- Smoking
- Alcohol use
- Illegal drug use
- Absent or non-functioning smoke detectors
- Substandard or older housing
- Unsupervised or improperly supervised children
- Using tap water hotter than 120° F
Burn symptoms and signs vary depending on the type of burn.
Superficial Burn
Symptoms include:
- Burned area turns red and is painful
- The area blanches (turns white) when you press on it
- The area may swell, but it is dry and there is no blistering
Superficial Partial-Thickness Burn
Symptoms include:
- Blisters
- The area is moist, red, and weeping
- The area blanches (turns white) when you press on it
- Painful to air and temperature
The doctor will ask how the burn occurred and will examine the burned area.
Treatment will depend on the cause of the burn, how deep the burn is, and how much of the body the burn covers. Doctors have methods and charts to estimate the total percentage of body surface area (TBSA) affected by the injury. This estimate is age dependent. For example, the head represents a larger percentage of surface area in a baby than in an adult.
Treatment for a burn depends on the cause. Quick treatment is important and can lessen the damage to the tissues. First aid for minor burns may involve:
- Cooling the burn with running water or a cold damp cloth. Do not use ice—this may result in more damage to the skin.
- Do not use butter, grease, oils, or ointments on the burn.
- Cover the burn with sterile gauze or a clean cloth.
- Do not use a fluffy cloth such as a towel or blanket.
- Take an over-the-counter pain reliever, like acetaminophen (Tylenol).
- Do not break or pop any blisters. This may result in an infection.
If you see signs of an infection, get medical attention. Signs of infection include:
- Increased pain
- Redness
- Fever
- Swelling
- Oozing of pus
Once a minor burn is completely cooled, you can consider using a fragrance-free lotion or moisturizer to prevent drying and make the area more comfortable.
For more serious burns, like deep partial-thickness or full-thickness burns, seek medical attention or call 911. Until an emergency unit arrives:
- Do not take off any clothing that is stuck to the burn.
- Make sure the victim is not near, or in contact with, any smoldering materials or exposed to further smoke or heat.
- Do not soak the burn in water, but you can cover the area with a cool, moist sterile bandage or clean cloth.
- As with any severe injury, make sure the person is breathing and administer CPR if necessary.
If you are diagnosed with more than a minor burn, follow your doctor's instructions .
A doctor will decide if hospitalization is necessary based on many factors. These include age, the cause of the burn, and the extent and depth of the burn. Reasons to hospitalize a person who has more than a minor burn may include:
- Age: younger than five years or older than 55 years
- Suspected child abuse
- Very small, deep burns on the hands, face, eyes, feet, or perineum (groin/genital area)
- Extensive burn: using TBSA and age charts
- Burns that may require complicated dressing changes, elevation, or continued physician observation
- High-voltage injury or burn
- Suspected or known inhalation injury
- Circumferential burn
Other medical problems that predispose a person to infection, such as:
- Diabetes
- Immunosuppression
- Sickle cell disease
Medical Treatment for Major Burns
If the burn is serious, the following treatments may be administered in a hospital:
- Oxygen to help with breathing
- Intubation
- IV fluids to replace those lost from the burn
- Skin graft
- Splints—placed on joints to help maintain mobility
- Physical therapy, in the case of large burns
Most burns are the result of accidents. To prevent burns:
- Teach children about fire prevention and keep dangerous materials out of reach.
- Make sure smoke detectors are installed and in working order. Replace batteries twice a year (one way to remember to do this is to change the batteries the same days you change the clocks for daylight savings time).
- When cooking, keep pot handles turned toward the back of the stove.
- Supervise young children in the kitchen and around fireworks.
- Set the temperature on the water heater to less than 120° F and test the bath water before your child gets in.
- Make sure children's sleepwear is flame-resistant.
- Don't hold children in your arms or lap while cooking, serving, or eating hot foods or liquids.
- Do not leave matches, lighters, candles, or burning cigarettes unattended.
- Wear protective gloves and clothing when handling caustic chemicals.
- Put protective covers on electrical outlets.
- Do not wear loose-fitting sleeves while cooking.
- Keep children and pets away from the stove while cooking.
- Make sure electrical cords are not hanging over the edge of countertops.
- Store chemicals and cleaners in a locked cabinet.
- Children younger than one year can sustain partial-thickness burns from hot seat belt straps or buckles in car seats. Make sure car seats are not hot before putting a child in the seat. If you park in the sun, cover the seat with a towel.

I'm wondering about sleep and routines with my 6 week old DD. She sleeps pretty good during the day and very good at night but I'm wondering if there are habits I should start forming/breaking now, or if I should get her into more of a routine?
Right now she mostly nurses to sleep. She can go down without being nursed...it's a little more difficult, but doable. SO rocks or walks her to sleep sometimes, my sister has rocked her to sleep, she falls asleep in the car, and a couple of times I've put her in her swing for a minute to start a load of laundry and have come back to her asleep. So I know she can go to sleep without being nursed, but I'm wondering if at any point I should start working with her on going to sleep more frequently without nursing down, or if I should wait until she's older.
We usually get up around 10 am. I actually usually wake up before her and she stays in bed for a bit while I get dressed and eat something. She takes a couple of cat naps and then usually around 1:30 goes down for about an hour, and then anytime between 3-5 she usually goes to sleep for about 2-3 hours. I nurse her to sleep and put her in the swing. She cluster feeds most of the evening (starting at about 6:30) and will sleep a bit in my arms. I usually spend my evenings just sitting in the recliner with her, watching TV or browsing the internet while she nurses and sleeps, and then anytime between 10 and midnight I will head to bed. She'll wake up at 4:30-5 and then at about 8:30 to nurse.
So, I guess I'm just wondering if I should start working on more concrete times so she knows the routine, or if this sounds good for this age? Also, I put her in her swing because she stays asleep a while there, but is there any reason I should put her in bed or in her crib (we co-sleep, we were planning on sidecarring the crib but right now it's just set up and she's never slept in it. As she gets bigger we probably will sidecar it so we all have a little more space)?
Sorry for the novel!

Candy Baskets & BloomsNeighborhoods:
Sussex Floral and Gifts – one of previous owners ( one of the sisters) re-takes over flower shop. Please expect it to be a professional, very friendly, roomy enviroment in the months to come. New businessname is Candy Baskets and Blooms, and will be found in the same location as before. Looking forward to seeing you soon...
Super to work with! Gorgeous flowers! – Julie and the staff at Sussex Floral and Gifts were super to work with in the planning of our May-2006 wedding. They made the experience a very pleasant one, and the compliments we recieved on the flowers were wonderful. Gorgeous was the opinon of our family and friends. We are so glad we chose them to do our flowers and continue to use them and recommend them to family members planning weddings.
Small, crowded store - fail to meet general expectations of a good business – They sell flowers, but there have been too many problems each time. When our daughter needed an item for her homecoming, the people who made it were hours behind schedule. We canceled our order - because our PRE-paid order wasn't even close to being ready on time - and ended up going to another floral shop called Sussex COUNTRY Floral who was EXTREMELY well prepared for large, local events.
Sussex Floral will not delivery outside of Sussex, so we can't suggest using them for anything out of town. Very small store - crowded. I, personally, do not like their work and would not suggest using them at all.

Burning Man and the World I've Returned To
by Shady Backflash (continued)
One thing about Black
Rock City is that one does not really have a chronological experience
of it so much as a total immersion in it. So that one day you are hanging
out talking to your friends and a guy from your camp might walk in wearing
a dress that he picked up from Cross Dress For Less, or else you might
be walking across the playa and hear someone announcing "Homoerotic Mexican
Grab Ass Wrestling" matches, or the folks in your camp might say that
they are going to Pinky's, the "bar" on the corner, to get drunk and watch
the pole dancers, and it all just blends into a wonderfully wacky (and
highly sexually charged) environment.
There is also Black Rock City's notion of a new economy called the gift
economy. The idea is that in modern materialist society, we are "valued"
for what we own, whereas at Black Rock City, people are valued for who
they are, and often this is conveyed by what people are willing to contribute
of themselves. They contribute through art and costuming, through giveaways,
through performance, through elaborate and simple gestures, and, most
of all, through sincere expressions of themselves in whatever form they
choose. The gift economy is at the root of radical self-expression and
it is loosely defined in order that each participant can determine for
themselves what they wish to offer to the collective organism.
By day I decided to dress in a hospital gown and propeller hat and wander
the playa with a piece of hazard tape which read "CAUTION ACID HAZARD"
wrapped like a sash across my chest carrying a sign which read "Ye Olde
Oracular Numismancy Readings." Numismancy is the art of reading fortunes
based on what sort of spare change people have in their pockets. Since
most people on Black Rock City had neither pockets nor change, it was,
in all honesty, a bit of a lost art, so I would occasionally appease people
by offering them a Tarot card or two.
Beyond all the zaniness and debauchery, though, there is a deep rooted
spiritual core to Burning Man that is not imposed on anyone, but is as
easy to detect as the blaring techno music and blinking neon wildebeests.
At one point, I was out on the playa and noticed a Kali like statue, a
beautiful, amazing statue, and at its feet was a book in the dust which
said "Prayers For Our Mother Earth." I picked up the dusty tome and a
dust encrusted Sharpie (that barely wrote) and left a message. The book
was to be burned with The Man on Saturday night.
My first experience of Burning Man was in '98 and I found it totally enthralling
and inspiring, but the night of the burn itself disturbed me greatly.
The Burn night was a night of total chaos energy and while I was moved
by it, it also upset me because a lot of people were throwing lots of
plastic into the fire and people were burning mattresses and lampposts
and anything in sight. When I got home and wrote an article on the experience,
which was later published by Magical Blend Magazine, I pointed out how
this had disturbed me. The following year, the population of Black Rock
City doubled and with the doubling, restrictions came, so the night of
the burn was much more contained and, by comparison, felt restrictive
and sanitized. The free flowing charged energy of the evening was replaced
by RULES. This was, for me, a really interesting insightful look into
the entire concept of external (rather than self-imposed) regulation.
On the one hand, there was far less burning plastic. On the other hand,
I could feel the wild, impulsive sense of freedom and chaos that the burn
night evoked in me disappearing into a "moderated" experience. The element
of danger was gone, as was much of the element of surprise. My adrenaline
was not pumping. Instead, in '99 I sat in the "audience" with thousands
of others, and watched The Man burn like a Hollywood movie prop. (Mind
you, this was also only months after watching 18 very real tractor trailers
burn some few hundred yards from our booth at Woodstock '99 so not having
frat boys rush at me threatening chaos didn't exactly bother me. I just
noticed that something which seemed much wilder was becoming more and
more domesticated.)
This year, the night of the burn my mind flashed to the memory of my friend
dying in a fire. As I saw The Man burst into flames, I imagined Dean burning
to death, and I was gripped with a certain haunting feeling, but I released
it to the fire and was willing to accept that his time had come. He was
ready to pass on to the mystery that is death, and I was still here, needing
to make my peace with that. It was an intense evening even without the
wanton destruction that the '98 Burn seemed to be. And, truth be told,
I didn't smell the overwhelming and unforgettable stench of '98's burn
night (much of which I guess could be attributed to burning plastic and
other things that shouldn't be in the fire) to quite the extent that I
had then, so that was a relief.
Walking the playa that night, I allowed myself to experience the quiet
sense of sorrow that I knew was lingering grief over the loss of my friend.
But Black Rock City is not a place where one can remain unhappy for any
extended period of time unless one really wants to be unhappy. I found
myself walking the Esplanade (the Main Strip) and came upon The Beggar's
Bar. At this bar, people would take a seat and be bullyragged and harassed
by muppets until they either took a dare or had otherwise proven themselves
to be worthy of a free drink. I watched as a muppet of Death gave one
after another person a hard time and then took a seat just after a new
muppet, an orange dog-like creature with a tassle, which it called a doolybopper
or some such thing, came out. I tried to reason with this muppet for a
spell and the muppet taunted me, saying that I could have a drink if I
bit its doolybopper. At that, I lunged at the doolybopper and caught it
in my teeth. The muppet let out a theatrical yelp and a cup of wine was
immediately forthcoming. I walked away with a smile on my face. The muppet
had reminded me that I was not in Anytown, USA and that if there was anyplace
on the planet that I could experience good grief, it was in Black Rock
City among 20,000 of the most interesting artistic free spirits on earth.

Nils Frahm "Si (Plasma Rüby Remix)"
- Words: Rebecca Bratburd
German composer Nils Frahm (pictured above) broke his thumb, a tradegy for anyone, but particularly for a pianist. In response, Frahm composed a nine-track "mini album" with his remaining functional nine fingers, and called it Screws after the four screws he now has in his thumb. Despite the horror story, Screws, which is available for free download, is about as mellow as it comes, with simple piano melodies slowly and quietly floating in the air like clouds. Argentina-based artist Plasma Rüby offered us his take on "Si," where he added a bit of electronics into the mix while maintaining the serenity of Frahm's original. This track will be offered as a part of a package of remixes inspired by Screws, which will also be available for free download via Frahm's website on December 3, the same day Frahm's mini-album will be officially released via Erased Tapes.

► MTA1 methylation dictates the chromatin remodeling activity of the NuRD complex ► MTA1 interprets the "nucleosome code" via engaging multivalent chromatin marks ► Methylated and demethylated MTA1 nucleate complexes with opposite functions ► MTA1's methylation status plays an instructive role in the transcriptional outcome
ATP-dependent NuRD repressor complexes involve combinatorial assembly of its subunits. However, the mechanism of gene transcription by MTA1/NuRD remains enigmatic. Here we report that MTA1 methylation by G9a methytransferase and demethylation by LSD1 determines the nucleosome remodeling and transcriptional outcome. Contrary to the current static repressor model of the NuRD complex, we discovered that MTA1 association with nucleosomes and corepressor/coactivator complexes is dynamic. While methylated MTA1 is required for the NuRD repressor complex, demethylated MTA1 recognizes the bivalent histone H3K4-AcK9 mark and recruits coactivator NURF-trithorax remodeling complex in a signaling-dependent manner. MTA1's lysine 532 methylation represents a molecular switch as methylated and demethylated MTA1 nucleate NuRD or NURF complexes with opposite functions in a cyclical manner. In addition, MTA1 possesses an inherent histone amplifier activity with an instructive role in impacting the epigenetic landscape, providing a new perspective to the molecular governance of dual coregulator functions of a master coregulator.

• Weather info: Forecast, road conditions, parking regulations, local reminders
• What's closed?: Updated list of closings and cancellations
• Photos: Blizzard slams Omaha
• Video Downtown area dealing with snow and power outages
* * * *
The following schools will be closed Thursday due to the storm: Omaha Public Schools, Millard, Elkhorn, Ralston, Council Bluffs, Bellevue, Omaha Catholic schools, Westside, Papillion-La Vista, Lewis Central Community School District and Lincoln Public Schools. Creighton University will open two hours late on Thursday starting at 10 a.m.
Snow is coming to an end in eastern Nebraska and has stopped falling in Omaha, where thousands of residents are without power.
The number of Omaha Public Power District customers reporting outages continues to grow.
Nearly 41,000 customers were without service as of 8 a.m., said spokeswoman Paula Lukowski. Most -- 28,000 -- were in Douglas County; another 6,700 were in Sarpy County.
Most of the outages were ongoing since overnight. However, fresh outages are occurring as strong winds and broken tree limbs bring down power lines.
OPPD is urging people to stay away from downed lines.
Additional crews have been called in. Lukowski said the utility hopes to have a clearer idea of the scope of repairs later today, but expected it to be a "multi-day" effort.
While some outages were caused by vehicles striking power poles, Lukowski attributed most downed lines to wet snow and strong winds. Strong winds are causing power lines to "gallop."
Customers needing to report an outage are asked to call 1-800-554-6773. An earlier OPPD advisory listed an incorrect number.
In Iowa, MidAmerica Energy is dealing with nearly 35,000 outages, most of them in Des Moines. Roughly 2,800 customers were without power in the greater Council Bluffs area.
Tina Potthoff, a spokeswoman for MidAmerican Energy, said all customers in the Council Bluffs area should have power back on by 10 p.m. tonight.
"Pretty much for us it is all hands on deck," she said. "We are evaluating the option of calling in crews from out of state at this time."
Iowans who have lost power area asked to report it at 1-800-799-4443. Also, those digging out are asked not to throw snow against gas meters as they are digging out, as this may damage them.
"We really want to make sure they are not throwing snow, or chipping at that particular device to try to get the ice off it," Potthoff said.
Travel on Interstate 80 just outside Omaha to Wyoming is tough. On some stretches, travelers can drive only east or west. Other stretches are shut down in both directions.
Within Omaha, I-80 is slick but traffic is moving slowly. Several cars can be seen in the ditches.
Omaha-Lincoln commuters should prepare for low visibility between Omaha and the Platte River area, according to the Nebraska State Patrol. I-80 west to Utica is closed. From Utica to Wyoming, travel is shut down in both directions.
Omaha's snow removal crews are likely to finish plowing residential streets by Friday.
Scott McIntyre, the city's street maintenance engineer, said all major roads, including Dodge Street, had been cleared by this morning. Even so, most streets remain at least a little snow covered due to wind.
McIntyre said roughly 100 pieces of equipment were used to deal with the storm. That includes snow plows, loaders and salt trucks.
McIntyre said city workers began prepping for the storm yesterday and would work around the clock until the job is done.
"You've got to drive a little slower," he warned.
Interstate 480 was covered with snow and patches of ice just before 6 a.m. Law enforcement agencies across the area reported similar conditions on Interstate 80 in both Nebraska and Iowa.
In Pottawattamie and Sarpy counties, traffic was moving smoothly so far, and no major accidents had been reported.
Conditions in Washington and Cass Counties were a little worse. Washington County dispatchers reported low to zero visibility in areas and travel on several roads and highways was reduced to one lane because of drifting snow. Authorities advised people to stay home if possible.
Cass County reported vehicles sliding into ditches along many roadways.
The Nebraska State Patrol in Omaha reported a snow-covered I-80, as did the Iowa State Patrol in Atlantic. Both agencies warned of icy patches throughout. Lincoln authorities said some highways, including I-80, are a "sheet of ice."
Iowa patrol dispatchers said there hadn't been any accidents with major injuries as of 6 a.m. Most of the problems they saw overnight involved semi-trailer trucks that either couldn't get up a hill or had jackknifed along the interstate. A dispatcher said it was still snowing in Atlantic this morning.
The Iowa Department of Transportation is advising against travel this morning because conditions remain dangerous across much of the state.
At about 7 a.m., Missouri officials closed Interstate 29 between the Iowa border and the northern edge of St. Joseph. Although conditions have improved in the Omaha area, travel through northwest Missouri and into the Kansas City area is being discouraged by Missouri officials.
Bus service:
Metro transit pulled its buses off the streets in Omaha and Council Bluffs Wednesday night because of slick roads. Several buses became stuck, according to Metro dispatchers. As of 7 a.m., general bus service is running in the metro area, with some exceptions.
Because of the difficult road conditions, some buses are running late especially those that travel neighborhood roads, according to Metro.
MOBY paratransit service will not start until 9 a.m., according to Metro. General bus service for routes 22, 25, 26, 32, and 35 will not start until later this morning. Metro has not yet scheduled a start for those routes.
Weather conditions:
Dave Fobert, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service, said Omaha officially received 5.9 inches of snow. That total is based on readings at Eppley Airfield.
The National Weather Service lifted Omaha's blizzard warning at about 6 a.m., and a less serious winter weather advisory remains in effect until noon.
Cloudy skies should gradually clear today and the high is expected to reach the low 20s.
With winds between 15 mph and 25 mph, gusting to possibly 35 mph, wind chills are likely to be near zero, Fobert said.
Overnight, winds blew at about 25 mph to 35 mph and the peak gust recorded at Valley, Neb., reached 52 mph, Fobert said.
Iowa continues to experience the full force of the blizzard, and power outages in the Hawkeye state are expected to worsen through this morning, according to the National Weather Service.
Whiteout conditions and drifting snow are expanding as snowfall rates pick and winds remain powerful.
Moderate to heavy snowfall is expected in Iowa through mid-morning, with snowfall rates sometimes reaching 1 to 2 inches an hour.
Sustained wind speeds of 30 mph to 40 mph are likely with winds gusting to more than 50 mph.
The blizzard warning there remains in effect.
By 10 a.m., snow is expected to be drifting several feet deep.
Snow totals in Iowa are forecast to reach 8 to 12 inches by late morning, with locally higher amounts possible.
Tranquil weather is around the corner. After this system moves out, the weather will be cold and clear into the weekend.
Another storm is forecast to hit the central U.S. sometime on or after Christmas Day.
Forecasters say it is too early to know where the storm will strike, but early models are hinting that it could move across the southern part of the central U.S. before heading northeast, according to AccuWeather Inc. If that happens, Nebraska and western Iowa may be spared a second hit.
The heavy snowfall Wednesday set a daily record in Omaha for precipitation, according to the National Weather Service. The total, melted precipitation for Wednesday was 0.81 inches, based on measurements at Eppley Airfield. The previous Dec. 19 record was .76 inches set in 1881.

Snow emergencies in Omaha, Council Bluffs
The City of Omaha declared a snow emergency. The declaration means the city's odd/even parking regulations for residential streets east of 72nd Street will go into effect. The goal is to make it easier to clear side streets of snow.
On even-numbered days, vehicles must be parked on the side of the street with even-numbered addresses, and the opposite on odd-numbered days. Those found in violation will be ticketed starting at noon Thursday, Mayor Jim Suttle's office said.
The Council Bluffs snow emergency is in effect to 6 p.m. Thursday. The city's emergency parking ban applies to all streets posted as snow emergency routes.
The odd/even parking ban will take effect at 6 a.m. today and remain until 5 p.m. Friday. Vehicles in violation of the parking ban are subject to fines and towing at the owners' expense.
The Papillion snow emergency will be in effect until 5 p.m. today.
La Vista declared a snow emergency.
During this time, residents are being asked to not park their vehicles on the street, allowing for the safe passage of snow crews.
