Novel Changes in Discoidal High Density Lipoprotein Morphology: A Molecular Dynamics Study Biophysical Journal, Volume 90, Issue 12, 15 June 2006, Pages 4345-4360 Andrea Catte, James C. Patterson, Martin K. Jones, W. Gray Jerome, Denys Bashtovyy, Zhengchang Su, Feifei Gu, Jianguo Chen, Marcela P. Aliste, Stephen C. Harvey, Ling Li, Gilbert Weinstein and Jere P. Segrest Abstract ApoA-I is a uniquely flexible lipid-scavenging protein capable of incorporating phospholipids into stable particles. Here we report molecular dynamics simulations on a series of progressively smaller discoidal high density lipoprotein particles produced by incremental removal of palmitoyloleoylphosphatidylcholine via four different pathways. The starting model contained 160 palmitoyloleoylphosphatidylcholines and a belt of two antiparallel amphipathic helical lipid-associating domains of apolipoprotein (apo) A-I. The results are particularly compelling. After a few nanoseconds of molecular dynamics simulation, independent of the starting particle and method of size reduction, all simulated double belts of the four lipidated apoA-I particles have helical domains that impressively approximate the x-ray crystal structure of lipid-free apoA-I, particularly between residues 88 and 186. These results provide atomic resolution models for two of the particles produced by in vitro reconstitution of nascent high density lipoprotein particles. These particles, measuring 95Å and 78Å by nondenaturing gradient gel electrophoresis, correspond in composition and in size/shape (by negative stain electron microscopy) to the simulated particles with molar ratios of 100:2 and 50:2, respectively. The lipids of the 100:2 particle family form minimal surfaces at their monolayer-monolayer interface, whereas the 50:2 particle family displays a lipid pocket capable of binding a dynamic range of phospholipid molecules.

Structure of Spheroidal HDL Particles Revealed by Combined Atomistic and Coarse-Grained Simulations Biophysical Journal, Volume 94, Issue 6, 15 March 2008, Pages 2306-2319 Andrea Catte, James C. Patterson, Denys Bashtovyy, Martin K. Jones, Feifei Gu, Ling Li, Aldo Rampioni, Durba Sengupta, Timo Vuorela, Perttu Niemelä, Mikko Karttunen, Siewert Jan Marrink, Ilpo Vattulainen and Jere P. Segrest Abstract Spheroidal high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles circulating in the blood are formed through an enzymatic process activated by apoA-I, leading to the esterification of cholesterol, which creates a hydrophobic core of cholesteryl ester molecules in the middle of the discoidal phospholipid bilayer. In this study, we investigated the conformation of apoA-I in model spheroidal HDL (ms-HDL) particles using both atomistic and coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations, which are found to provide consistent results for all HDL properties we studied. The observed small contribution of cholesteryl oleate molecules to the solvent-accessible surface area of the entire ms-HDL particle indicates that palmitoyloleoylphosphatidylcholines and apoA-I molecules cover the hydrophobic core comprised of cholesteryl esters particularly well. The ms-HDL particles are found to form a prolate ellipsoidal shape, with sizes consistent with experimental results. Large rigid domains and low mobility of the protein are seen in all the simulations. Additionally, the average number of contacts of cholesteryl ester molecules with apoA-I residues indicates that cholesteryl esters interact with protein residues mainly through their cholesterol moiety. We propose that the interaction of annular cholesteryl oleate molecules contributes to apoA-I rigidity stabilizing and regulating the structure and function of the ms-HDL particle.

A Model Structure for the Heterodimer apoA-IMilano–apoA-II Supports Its Peculiar Susceptibility to Proteolysis Biophysical Journal, Volume 91, Issue 8, 15 October 2006, Pages 3043-3049 Alessandro Guerini Rocco, Luca Mollica, Elisabetta Gianazza, Laura Calabresi, Guido Franceschini, Cesare R. Sirtori and Ivano Eberini Abstract In this study, we propose a structure for the heterodimer between apolipoprotein A-IMilano and apolipoprotein A-II (apoA-IM–apoA-II) in a synthetic high-density lipoprotein (HDL) containing L-α-palmitoyloleoyl phosphatidylcholine. We applied bioinformatics/computational tools and procedures, such as molecular docking, molecular and essential dynamics, starting from published crystal structures for apolipoprotein A-I and apolipoprotein A-II. Structural and energetic analyses onto the simulated system showed that the molecular dynamics produced a stabilized synthetic HDL. The essential dynamic analysis showed a deviation from the starting belt structure. Our structural results were validated by limited proteolysis experiments on HDL from apoA-IM carriers in comparison with control HDL. The high sensitivity of apoA-IM–apoA-II to proteases was in agreement with the high root mean-square fluctuation values and the reduction in secondary structure content from molecular dynamics data. Circular dichroism on synthetic HDL containing apoA-IM–apoA-II was consistent with the α-helix content computed on the proposed model. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (597 kb) |

Apolipoprotein (apo) A-I is an unusually flexible protein whose lipid-associated structure is poorly understood. Thermal denaturation, which is used to measure the global helix stability of high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-associated apoA-I, provides no information about local helix stability. Here we report the use of temperature jump molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to scan the per-residue helix stability of apoA-I in phospholipid-rich HDL. When three 20 ns MD simulations were performed at 500 K on each of two particles created by MD simulations at 310 K, bilayers remained intact but expanded by 40%, and total apoA-I helicity decreased from 95% to 72%. Of significance, the conformations of the overlapping N- and C-terminal domains of apoA-I in the particles were unusually mobile, exposing hydrocarbon regions of the phospholipid to solvent; a lack of buried interhelical salt bridges in the terminal domains correlated with increased mobility. Nondenaturing gradient gels show that 40% expansion of the phospholipid surface of 100:2 particles by addition of palmitoyloleoylphosphatidylcholine exceeds the threshold of particle stability. As a unifying hypothesis, we propose that the terminal domains of apoA-I are phospholipid concentration-sensitive molecular triggers for fusion/remodeling of HDL particles. Since HDL remodeling is necessary for cholesterol transport, our model for remodeling has substantial biomedical implications.

Epson Features Color On-Demand Labeling Solution
Published: October 25th, 2012
As companies face the trends of mass customization and an increasing mix of retail channels, Epson America, Inc. is offering the ColorWorks C3400 Label Printer with Just in Time Color Labeling.
The ColorWorks C3400 system is ideally suited for high-mix, low-volume applications that require a large number of label varieties. By transitioning to an on demand color labeling solution, manufacturers can save costs by eliminating inventory of traditional black and white or pre-printed color labels and waste. On demand color labels also improve productivity by minimizing labeling and shipping errors and changeovers.
The technology is featured at Epson's booth 3957 at Pack Expo. Epson will put on live, 10-minute presentations at booth #3957 on:
Sunday, October 28: 1:00pm & 3:45pm
Monday, October 29: 11:00am & 2:30pm
Tuesday, October 30: 11:00am & 2:30pm
Wednesday, October 31: 10:30am
The system helps manufacturers with 5,000 SKU's or more take control of the chaos and reduce total label costs by up to 50 percent through streamlined processing and reduced labor and waste.
In addition to crisp, clear and easy-to-read barcodes and text, the ColorWorks C3400 leverages the clarity and communicative power of color. By incorporating colorful symbols, logos, and high-resolution images, manufacturers can enhance brand image and shelf appeal of packaged products.
"Epson's ColorWorks C3400 printer simplifies your labeling process while giving you the flexibility that pre-prints and traditional labels can't match," says Andy Scherz, senior product manager. "Our customers see a return on their investment quickly by switching to Epson's color on demand solutions, especially those companies with high-mix labeling requirements."
Compact and sturdy for industrial use, the ColorWorks C3400 prints vibrant labels with fast drying, durable color inks using MicroPiezo inkjet technology. It has a versatile roll or rear feed option and prints labels up to 4.4 inches wide at speeds up to 3.7 inches per second, without the mess and waste associated with thermal transfer ribbons.

Woman attacked by thousands of bees | Charges filed against former Cabrillo High School wrestling coaches
Sponsored by: Dignity Health
Dec 18, 2012 3:56 PM by Bonnie Markoff, DVM, ABVP
(MyPetMD) During the festive season, we cannot get enough of all the good things that come with this time of year. Poinsettias and chocolate are two of these good things, but are they really so good when it comes to our pets?
Poinsettia, the common household Christmas plant, was once considered to be extremely toxic to animals. Luckily, it is now known to be of relatively low toxicity to animals. The plants can affect all animals including pets and livestock but household pets are more commonly affected because they are more likely to come into contact with the plant.
All parts of the plant may be toxic. The milky sap of the poinsettia is irritating to skin, eyes and mucus membranes. Ingestion and/or skin and mouth contact with the milky sap is likely to cause irritation, discomfort, rash and stomach upset. Nausea and vomiting may occur if large quantities are consumed. Pets may show head-shaking, salivation, and pawing or rubbing at the mouth or eyes. Washing the sap off the animal will prevent further ingestion. You should call us if your pet's eyes are affected and/or if signs of the toxicity do not resolve within a few minutes.
Chocolate, on the other hand can be quite toxic to animals and is dose or quantity dependent. A small dog with an overly sweet tooth can be at risk for chocolate toxicity if he/she gets into your holiday stash of chocolate.
Signs of chocolate toxicity are similar to a caffeine overdose since they are similar compounds. Watch for restlessness and hyperactivity. Severe toxicity will include extreme hyperactivity, muscle twitching, and spastic contraction of limbs and eventual seizures. Signs will usually occur within three to eight hours of ingestion of a large quantity of chocolate.
Keep chocolate away from pets at all times, and call us immediately if you suspect your pet has ingested a large quantity of your favorite holiday treat.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The Charleston Jazz Series began in 1991, when Will Carter and a bunch of friends decided to see what kind of jazz band they could hire if they pooled their money.
Each kicked in $150 for what would eventually become a yearly series of concerts and jazz workshops.
"Our mission is to promote the appreciation and the availability of what we call modern jazz, which means everything after World War II," Carter said in a 2003 interview.
Now in its 21st year, the jazz series continues on donations, sponsorships, season ticket sales and a healthy dose of faith. But the series has remained true to its mission of bringing world-class jazz musicians to the relatively small town of Charleston.
"When the artists find out who we've had, they can't believe it," Carter said in 2003. "People who know jazz know we've had an amazing roster."
Most concerts are held at Edgewood Country Club, with a buffet dinner available to go along with the music. Past Jazz Series artists include Charleston-based but world-renowned pianist Bob Thompson, the Chick Corea Trio, sultry vocalist Jane Monheit, sexy saxophone soloist Pamela Williams and trumpeter Chris Botti.
The series generally includes five concerts and a number of jazz workshops.
Concerts left in this year's series include saxophonist Donald Harrison on Feb. 24, French guitarist Marc Antoine on March 30, Italian guitarist Peppino D'Agostino and Paraguay-born violinist Carlos Reyes on April 20 and the duo of guitarist Matt Marshak and saxophonist Steve Cole on Nov. 4.

BEIJING – At a near-empty B&Q home improvement outlet in Beijing, much of the foot traffic is due to the location of a public toilet next to the entrance — not the store's patio furniture or circular saws. It's a sign of how foreign "do-it-yourself" big-box chains have struggled to…

Oh my gosh, I have so much deliciousness to report to you all, I don't know where to begin. I suppose it all started last week after Food 52 reminded me of Marcella Hazan's widely adored tomato sauce recipe and the NY Times reminded me of the pleasure of eating fresh ricotta cheese, a delicacy (a nonentity, really) in my neck of the woods. And then I remembered seeing a Barefoot Contessa recipe for homemade ricotta cheese on Gwyenth Paltrow's blog, which reminded me of a different GP entry about homemade pizza, all of which has led me to so many wonderful discoveries this week. Is your head spinning?
Let me summarize:
1. Marcella Hazan's tomato sauce is every bit as delicious as everyone has claimed. I've never had success making tomato sauce. Never. I had accepted that jarred sauce tasted better than anything I could produce at home. That is until this past Tuesday, when I dipped my wooden spoon into my pot of gently simmering tomatoes, lifted it to my mouth, and tasted the freshest, lightest, most delectable flavors. And I have been smiling ever since. For all of you food bloggers, I know this is nothing revelatory. But friends, family, and any of you out there who have tomato sauce making fears, rest assured that you, too, can cook like an Italian grandmother. This sauce is gold.
2. Thanks to discovery #1, I've finally made a classic pizza margherita at home. One of my all-time favorite spots for thin-crust pizza is 2Amys in Washington D.C., which serves an incredible pizza margherita topped with a most memorable fresh tomato sauce. 2Amys Pizza was my first thought after tasting Hazan's sauce. Now, I've accepted that until I build my wood burning oven, I'm not going to achieve a restaurant quality crust at home. But I no longer have an excuse for not making pizza margherita. This sauce is so damn good. I credit nothing other than the sauce for producing the pizza that emerged from my oven today. It was one of the best. Less is more is the key here: a thin layer of this sauce topped sparingly with fresh mozzarella cheese and a sprinkling of fresh basil out of the oven does the job. Yum yum yum.
3. Making fresh ricotta cheese at home is as easy as the Barefoot Contessa's latest book promises. And it is SO delicious. I made myself nectarine and fresh ricotta bruschetta for lunch today. It was heaven. And then I remembered one of my all-time favorite pizza combinations — nectarine with basil and reduced balsamic — and made a variation of that for dinner. Tomorrow morning, I'm going to spread what's left of my fresh ricotta on a toasted bagel and top it with one of my CSA tomatoes. I'm really living it up here.
The most fragrant purple basil freshly picked from my garden, a treat I have my brother-in-law to thank. Thanks Mr. T!

Note: I watched the video on Food52 on blanching tomatoes, which I found to be helpful.
For the Sauce:
2 pounds fresh, ripe tomatoes, peeled (see video on Food52 for guidance)
5 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, peeled and cut in half
Salt to taste
1. Place the prepared fresh tomatoes in a saucepan, add the butter, onion, and salt, and cook uncovered at a very slow, but steady simmer for about 45 minutes, or until it is thickened to your liking and the fat floats free from the tomato.
2. Stir from time to time, mashing up any large pieces of tomato with the back of a wooden spoon. Taste and correct for salt.
Homemade Ricotta Cheese
Source: The Barefoot Contessa via Goop
Serves: Makes about 2 cups
4 cups whole milk
2 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons good white wine vinegar
1. Set a large sieve over a deep bowl. Dampen 2 layers of cheesecloth with water and line the sieve with the cheesecloth.
2. Pour the milk and stream into a stainless steel or enameled pot such as Le Creuset. Stir in the salt. Bring to a full boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Turn off the heat and stir in the vinegar. Allow the mixture to stand for 1 minute until it curdles. It will separate into thick parts (the curds) and milky parts (the whey).
3. Pour the mixture into a cheesecloth-lined sieve and allow it to drain into the bowl at room temperature for 20 to 25 minutes, occasionally discarding the liquid that collects in the bowl. The longer you let the mixture drain, the thicker the ricotta. (I tend to like mine on the thicker side but some prefer it moister.) Transfer the ricotta to a bowl, discarding the cheesecloth and any remaining whey. Use immediately or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. The ricotta will keep refrigerated for 4 to 5 days.

The old mother and her six children were the poorest of all the families in the village, so they could not afford a Christmas tree.
"Can't we have a tree this year, Momma, please can't we please?" the children would beg.
"No," the mother answered, "but look, I have something almost as good," and she held up a piece of broccoli. "This can be our tree," she told the children.
"Kinda small for a tree, ain't it?" asked Elmore, her oldest son, and indeed he was right, since the broccoli stalk was only about three inches tall and Elmore ran six-two, two-eighty, although still a sophomore.
"It may be small, but it has a nice shape," the mother explained, "and besides, it doesn't matter. Santa Claus will come just the same. For it is not what the eye sees, it is what the heart feels, that is important."
When the children told their classmates that they could not stay outside and play after school because, "...we have to go home and decorate the broccoli," the other children laughed at them. "Santa will still come to our house," they answered to the laughter, "because it is not what the eye sees, it is what the heart feels."
And they were right.
Santa did indeed come to their house that Christmas night. Unfortunately, as he was walking across the darkened room, carrying his full load of presents, looking for the tree to place them under, he felt his right boot heal crush something soft and small. He examined the boot heal and found that whatever it was he had stepped on was green, and had a mild butter-sauce scent to it.
And the next morning, the children found more presents than they ever dreamed could exist anywhere. The room was covered with boxes red and green, and ribbon and cards and candy and toys. And their wide little eyes grew even wider when they saw the man himself, Santa Clause, sitting there in the middle of the pile of gifts.
"After I finished my route last night," he told them, "I had to come back here and tell you what a nice surprise your broccoli was. People mean well, but you can only eat so much sugar cookies and eggnog. I desperately needed roughage, and you supplied it."
The children did not have the heart to tell Santa that he had eaten their Christmas tree, so they just smiled. But their smiles froze upon their faces when he asked, "By the way, I never did find your tree last night, where is it?"
The children and their mother sputtered and stuttered and looked at each other, until Elmore finally blurted out, "It's in the closet," and to Santa's confused look, the mother explained, "We're not showy people."
A small tear came to Santa's eye. "First the broccoli and then this," he said, "this family has the simplest and fullest hearts of any I've seen," and with that he reached down deep into his cavernous bag and handed them one final red-wrapped present.
"This," he said, "is the finest present of all, and it belongs to you."
And now, every Christmas in the village, all the people decorate their trees with tinsel and bells and colored lights, and then they put the tree in the closet. And they put out a single stalk of broccoli. And it is said that the presents around the broccoli in the morning are just a little bit more special than the presents in the other villages, because now everyone in this village knows that it's not what the eye sees, but what the heart feels, that is important.
And that is why no one in the mother's whole family has ever unwrapped Santa's special present to look inside.

Illustrations Reduce Missed Opportunities for Retirement Security
If you've attended a Little League baseball game recently, you've probably experienced the frustration of watching a young batter watch a perfectly good strike go by and then take a wild swing at a pitch that hits the dirt before it hits the plate. You may find yourself saying under your breath, "Coulda hit that one, or shoulda let that one go by….."
Maybe plan participants are watching the same type of opportunities go by with their retirement accounts. Read more

Sleep Division
The Division of Sleep Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital provides sophisticated diagnostic testing and comprehensive treatment options for people struggling with any kind of sleep problem.

Sleep Division Doctors
The goal of the Division of Sleep Medicine is to advance the gold standard of care in the emerging field of sleep medicine.
Our approach to treating sleep disorders encompasses both clinical work and research. As a leading teaching hospital, we have the following clinical goals:
- To treat every patient with the considerable resources at our disposal
- To train physicians who eventually will be caring for their own patients with sleep disorders
- To educate patients and disprove common cultural misconceptions about sleep
Part of the Neurology Department
We are one of the few sleep divisions in the nation housed within a hospital's neurology department. This arrangement creates numerous benefits for our division and our patients.
For instance, we have access to sophisticated technology that allows us to take higher-resolution snapshots of brain activity during sleep studies--and gain a deeper understanding of what is happening in the brain during sleep. In addition, we can tap into the expertise of outstanding neurological specialists from elsewhere in the department.
A Multidisciplinary Team
The science of diagnosing and treating sleep disorders should be approached from many different angles. Our team of sleep experts regularly meets to review complex cases together. Specialists from across the hospital's psychiatry, pulmonary and pediatric groups also meet with our sleep physicians to review our most complex cases, particularly those interacting with their specialties. The collective knowledge of these experts gives us multilayered insight into how to effectively manage a complex case.
By taking a collaborative approach to sleep medicine, we can address even the most complex cases. We also streamline the patient experience. Rather than being shuffled back and forth among various specialists, patients enjoy a centrally managed, seamlessly integrated course of treatment.
A First-Rate Sleep Laboratory
In 2007 the Division of Sleep Medicine took a major step forward with the opening of our world-class sleep laboratory. Located in a separate building next to the hospital, this eight-bed diagnostic center is one of the few U.S. facilities hosting sleep studies in a "hotel-like" environment. In an effort to continually advance the field of sleep medicine, we also participate in research programs with other sleep labs.
Our sleep lab sets new standards for the patient experience. The rooms are quiet and comfortable. A technician is always on hand to monitor the patient and offer assistance. And cutting-edge technology enables us to conduct complicated tests, either overnight or during the daytime. As a result, we generate far more useful insights into the patient condition than home studies ever could.
Sleep Division Doctors
Our multi-physician division is headed by Bianchi, Matt, MD, PhD. Each member of our group cares for patients over the full spectrum of sleep disorders. It is the mission of our sleep laboratory to provide the highest level of diagnostic and therapeutic services for sleep apnea, insomnia, and other sleep disorders. Our active ambulatory clinic provides consultation and chronic care for patients with a spectrum of sleep disorders. The division also hosts cutting edge clinical research in the areas of the two most common sleep disorders: sleep apnea and insomnia.
Patients seeking our services suffer from a variety of sleep disorders including:
- Insomnia
- Narcolepsy
- Nocturnal seizures
- Parasomnia (e.g. acting out dreams)
- Restless legs syndrome
- Sleep apnea
Patients who suspect they might have a sleep disorder should speak with their primary care physician, who might want to order a sleep study (see below) and/or a consultation from our staff of sleep experts.
Safe, Informative Testing for Sleep Disorders
The Division of Sleep Medicine's sleep laboratory features an eight-bed diagnostic center for testing outpatients. For comfort and convenience, it is located at the Holiday Inn, immediately next to Mass General. As we tell our patients, coming to the sleep lab is similar to checking in to a hotel.
This state-of-the-art facility allows us to safely and efficiently deliver overnight testing (in the form of sleep study called a polysomnogram) and daytime testing (including the multiple sleep latency test, or MSLT) in a home-like atmosphere. Testing for young children and challenged adults is often performed in the main hospital. All of our facilities are wheelchair-accessible.
Depending on the requests of their primary care physician, patients might have a sleep study that is interpreted by our team of sleep physicians. They might also be seen by one of our sleep physicians in his or her clinic during the daytime. After the patient completes the study, a specialist is available to discuss the results and develop a personalized treatment plan.
Our division conducts innovative studies that produce significant breakthroughs in diagnosing and treating patients. For information about ongoing studies and the ability to participate, please call 617-724-7419.
Referrals are accepted from primary care physicians and other specialists by calling 617-724-7426. We require a completed Sleep Study Requisition form which can be downloaded as a PDF. Please print, complete and fax to 617-724-6513.

Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS)
Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a sleep disorder in which a person experiences unpleasant sensations in the legs.
Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a serious breathing disorder that causes brief interruptions of breathing during sleep.
Snoring is the sound that occurs during sleep when flow of air is obstructed in the area where the tongue and upper throat meet the soft palate and uvula.

Afghan policemen stand for Afghanistan's national anthem during their graduation ceremony in Kabul, Afghanistan on Thursday, Feb. 21, 2013. The process of taking over security from around 100,000 strong U.S. and NATO-led ISAF forces by Afghan security forces would be completed by the end of 2014 when Afghanistan will take over the full leadership of its own security duties from U.S. and NATO forces. (AP photo / February 22, 2013) |
BRUSSELS (AP) — NATO is strongly considering a proposal to continue funding a security force of 352,000 Afghan troops through 2018, as part of an effort to maintain security and help convince Afghanistan that America and its allies will not abandon it once combat troops leave in 2014, senior alliance officials said Thursday.
Such a change, if NATO endorses it, could increase the costs to the U.S. and allies by more than $2 billion a year, at a time when most are struggling with budget cuts and fiscal woes. Last May, NATO agreed to underwrite an Afghan force of about 230,000, at a cost of about $4.1 billion a year after 2014. It costs about $6.5 billion this year to fund the current Afghan force of 352,000, and the U.S. is providing about $5.7 billion of that.
Maintaining the larger troop strength could bolster the confidence of the Afghan forces and make it clear that NATO is committed to an enduring relationship with Afghanistan, a senior NATO official said.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the plan publicly.
Asked about the plan, NATO Secretary-General Fogh Rasmussen confirmed to reporters that it was under consideration.
"I feel confident that we will be able to finance Afghan security forces of that size," he said.
He added that Afghans can't afford a security force of 352,000, so the funding would be the responsibility of the whole international community.
"From the economic point of view, it is actually less expensive to finance Afghan Security Forces than to deploy foreign troops," he said.
That argument, however, may be a harder sell in the U.S. Congress, where lawmakers are deadlocked over how to solve the budget crisis that is set to trigger furloughs for 800,000 federal workers in the Pentagon alone, along with $85 billion in broad, automatic spending cuts across the government.
NATO defense ministers, including outgoing U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, are meeting here and discussing progress in the Afghan war and the ongoing drawdown of troops. President Barack Obama announced in his State of the Union address that he will withdraw 34,000 American troops from Afghanistan by this time next year. There are about 66,000 there now.

Hive job not distributingJohn Omernik 2012-09-01, 20:25
I have a job that has lots of tiny map tasks that finish very fast (I think
my max time was 9 seconds) I understand that I should change my input to avoid that... and it's difficult because these processes are using a transform script on binary data so it makes it difficult to pull off (Long story). That being said, the cluster isn't distributing the job. Only one node is running the map tasks. They are finishing quickly, but I am just wondering would cause that ... I know the job tracker and task trackers on other nodes are running, it's just odd. |

Web pages that use jQuery clueTip and hosted in IIS function differently in Opera. When a user clicks on or mouses over the jQuery clueTip link to display the content, Opera asks for a User Name and Password. The same Web pages work fine in IE, Firefox and Safari. The content is displayed as it's supposed to do it. I don't think it's a problem with my jQuery clueTip code.
I think there's an issue with jQuery clueTip and Opera for MS Windows. I've seen this issue in previous versions of Opera and it still occurs in 9.5.

Local residents held rallies Tuesday to protest President Barack Obama's Health Care bill, already passed by the House and currently being debated in the Senate. Most of the protestors opposed the bill, but supporters also turned out to voice their approval.
In Colorado Springs, the rally was in front of Sen. Michael Bennett's office.
In Pueblo, the rally was outside the Union Depot.
A recent CNN Poll found that 61-percent of Americans oppose the Health Care bill.

Shelley Moore Capito on AbortionRepublican Representative (WV-2) | |
Proponent's Argument for voting Yes:
[Rep. Fortenberry, R-NE]: Americans deserve to know how the government spends their money, and they are right to refuse the use of their tax dollars for highly controversial activities--in this case, abortion. Abortion harms women. It takes the lives of children, and it allows a man to escape his responsibility. The abortion industry many times profits from all of this pain.
We can and must do better as a society, and at a minimum, taxpayer dollars should not be involved. This issue has manifested itself most intently during the health care debate. Unless a prohibition is enacted, taxpayers will fund abortion under the framework of the new health care law. Abortion is not health care.
Opponent's Argument for voting No:
[Rep. Louise Slaughter, D-NY]: H.R. 3 is actually dangerous for women's health. By refusing to provide any exceptions to women who are facing serious health conditions--cancer, heart or whatever that may be--you are forcing women to choose to risk their health or to risk bankruptcy, and I think that is morally unacceptable. Under H.R. 3, a woman facing cancer who needs to terminate a pregnancy in order to live might have to go into debt over the $10,000 that the legal and necessary procedure could cost. Despite having both health insurance and tax-preferred savings accounts, this bill would prevent her from having that.
Proponents support voting YES because:
Since 2 years ago, the last Stem Cell bill, public support has surged for stem cells. Research is proceeding unfettered and, in some cases, without ethical standards in other countries. And even when these countries have ethical standards, our failures are allowing them to gain the scientific edge over the US. Some suggest that it is Congress' role to tell researchers what kinds of cells to use. I suggest we are not the arbiters of research. Instead, we should foster all of these methods, and we should adequately fund and have ethical oversight over all ethical stem cell research.
Opponents support voting NO because:
A good deal has changed in the world of science. Amniotic fluid stem cells are now available to open a broad new area of research. I think the American people would welcome us having a hearing to understand more about this promising new area of science. As it stands today, we will simply have to debate the bill on the merits of information that is well over 2 years old, and I think that is unfortunate.
The recent findings of the pluripotent epithelial cells demonstrates how quickly the world has changed. Wouldn't it be nice to have the researcher before our committee and be able to ask those questions so we may make the best possible judgment for the American people?
For over thirty years, NARAL Pro-Choice America has been the political arm of the pro-choice movement and a strong advocate of reproductive freedom and choice. NARAL Pro-Choice America's mission is to protect and preserve the right to choose while promoting policies and programs that improve women's health and make abortion less necessary. NARAL Pro-Choice America works to educate Americans and officeholders about reproductive rights and health issues and elect pro-choice candidates at all levels of government. The NARAL ratings are based on the votes the organization considered most important; the numbers reflect the percentage of time the representative voted the organization's preferred position.
OnTheIssues.org interprets the 2006 NRLC scores as follows:
The ultimate goal of the National Right to Life Committee is to restore legal protection to innocent human life. The primary interest of the National Right to Life Committee and its members has been the abortion controversy; however, it is also concerned with related matters of medical ethics which relate to the right to life issues of euthanasia and infanticide. The Committee does not have a position on issues such as contraception, sex education, capital punishment, and national defense. The National Right to Life Committee was founded in 1973 in response to the Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court decision, legalizing the practice of human abortion in all 50 states, throughout the entire nine months of pregnancy.
The NRLC has been instrumental in achieving a number of legislative reforms at the national level, including a ban on non-therapeutic experimentation of unborn and newborn babies, a federal conscience clause guaranteeing medical personnel the right to refuse to participate in abortion procedures, and various amendments to appropriations bills which prohibit (or limit) the use of federal funds to subsidize or promote abortions in the United States and overseas.
In addition to maintaining a lobbying presence at the federal level, NRLC serves as a clearinghouse of information for its state affiliates and local chapters, its individual members, the press, and the public.

K341 16 hp Kohler engine.Will the K341 engine fit in a narrow framed Cadet?
I salvaged one about a year ago. It's in excellent condition.
Re: K341 16 hp Kohler engine.I think it would depend on which model you have. I just bought a 147 and it has a 14 hp in it, which I think is the same physical size as the 16 hp. Notice in the photos that the frame has been altered by the factory to accommodate the 14 hp.
If you can't find it, don't lose it.
Re: K341 16 hp Kohler engine.These 147's used the starter/generator's so the knotch in the pic is ok. I believe the geared flywheels/starters need even more width in the frame too. My point is it matters if we use a s/g or geared setup too.
They knotch out the frame and leave very little vertical part of the frame as being structural sound. If i was going to design a cut out like this I would put a "U" shape gusset around that area. Thats been my plan if i ever knotched the frame for a larger engine. I find it neat to actually see how the frames evolved thru the years when they went from the narrow frames to the wide frames. Even after with the wide frames the front frame rails got even higher. I'm technically misunderstood at times i guess its been this way my whole life so why should it change now.
Re: K341 16 hp Kohler engine.If it has a starter/generator, not without either frame modifications or or replacing the bearing plate, flywheel, and housing, with the smaller like parts from a 10 or 12 hp engine. If it is a AQS engine with the ring gear starter, the frame will have to be modified.
Re: K341 16 hp Kohler engine.
The geared flywheel/starters use the same flywheel shroud/bearing plate as a starter generator do with two exceptions-there has to be an place for the starter gear to go and the stator must be able to mount to the bearing plate. Bill, You need to look a little closer at Jim T's pictures. There are gussets on the frame. There is no need to have an U shape type gusset where the wings are. The gussets that IH used are good enough to handle any power that is in the Cub Cadet. That is the same modification the pulling guys do to their Cubs. There is no need to over kill-over engineer the Cub Cadet frame. A 16 horsepower Kohler will fit in your Cub Cadet if it is the narrow base block and if you modify the frame. I've heard of some that used a flywheel-bearing plate and flywheel shroud off a 12 horse power Kohler. There could be some cooling problems with this modification. A wide base block can be modified to be a narrow base block....The block will need modified to work.

• Check out a timeline of the federal government shutdown.
* * *
A rally held Friday to urge Rep. Lee Terry, R-Neb., to vote to reopen the federal government was quickly countered by Terry supporters who said they favored the shutdown.
The opposing groups rallied in the parking lot in front of Terry's Omaha office at 11717 Burt St.
A group of about 40 held signs stating, "Shame on Lee Terry" and "No Work No Pay." A smaller group elsewhere in the lot held pro-Terry signs, including one stating, "I support Lee."
John Jensen, 68, of Omaha said the U.S. House shouldn't "play games" with paying government workers or jeopardizing Americans' access to government programs.
"We are all here today to call on Rep. Lee Terry to vote to end the government shutdown with a clean bill to fund our government," said Jensen, vice president of the National Education Association Retired.
"Americans nationwide are feeling the effects of the shutdown and are outraged by Congress' inability to do something that is as fundamental as continuing to fund our government."
Jensen said he expects Terry "to work with the other side."
The rally was organized by the Progressive Change Campaign Committee and other groups.
The federal government began a partial shutdown Oct.�1 after Congress failed to pass a continuing resolution to fund the government.
Terry has said he does not support the government shutdown. He said he has backed the strategy that led to the shutdown, supporting bills to fund the government only if the health care law was delayed or defunded.
He also has said he wants to make sure President Obama negotiates with Republicans before he votes to raise the debt ceiling temporarily.
Others outside the congressman's office said they support the shutdown and Terry's performance in Washington.
Pat McPherson of Omaha, long active in Republican Party politics, said that he appreciates the work Terry is doing and that his critics are just political operatives.
Stan Klein Sr., a Vietnam War veteran, said he's glad a faction in the GOP is trying to defund Obamacare.
"This is not a fight between political parties," Klein said. "This is a fight between the people and the administration."

Who We Work With
Today there is a growing community of performance-driven education reform leaders, entrepreneurs, organizations, foundations and public institutions that are spearheading innovative approaches to better serve all students, especially those in low-income communities. These organizations and their supporters are demonstrating the promise of innovative solutions for closing the persistent achievement gap in public education.
As these organizations gain recognition and grow beyond the start-up stage, they need help to develop business strategies that are more sophisticated, internal management systems that are more mature, and leadership capacity that is deeper and more diverse. At the same time, to maximize their effectiveness and broaden their impact, these organizations need the support of strong thought leadership outside of their own day-to-day work to help coordinate their efforts, inform policymakers and improve the political and policy context for their work as well as to share their successful approaches with the public education field at large.

A deal for 10 Legacy 650 executive jets, consisting of five firm orders and five options, has been signed between ICBC Financial Leasing Co. and Harbin Embraer Aircraft Industry Co., Embraer's joint-venture with Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC). Deliveries are scheduled to begin at the end of 2013. The order makes ICBC Leasing the launch customer of HEAI's Legacy 600/650 program and rounds out ICBC's current 70-aircraft portfolio.
"It is really inspiring news that right after its inauguration of the Legacy 600/650 production program in China, HEAI welcomes ICBC Leasing as the first customer," said Mr. Guo Dianman, Chairman of Harbin Embraer Aircraft Industry Co., Ltd. "We appreciate the confidence and trust ICBC Leasing has in us. By fully leveraging all resources, with the dedicated collaboration of AVIC and Embraer, HEAI will provide the outstanding and reliable performance for which the Legacy 600/650 is known."
"Over a decade's effort has gone into Embraer's corporate image and products in the China market," said Guan Dongyuan, President of Embraer China. "HEAI's Legacy 600/650 program and an immediate order from its first customer is solid proof of the faith our Chinese customers place in Embraer. China's fast growing economy has been cultivating its business aviation market, which is expected to require some 635 executive jets in the next decade. We believe that Embraer Executive Jets will play an important role in China's executive aviation market."
"As a wholly owned subsidiary of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, the world's largest bank by market capitalization, ICBC Leasing commits itself to be the world's leading financial leasing institute," said Cong Lin, President of ICBC Financial Leasing Co., Ltd. "We are really delighted to make the order come true shortly after the Memorandum of Understanding signed by the two sides last April. We do believe that, with joint efforts, both parties will have greater achievements in the executive aviation segment."
With this deal, Embraer's firm orders in China total 159 commercial and executive jets, including 20 firm orders for the Legacy 650. Jackie Chan, the internationally renowned movie star and Embraer's Executive Jets brand ambassador, was the first user of the aircraft in the Greater China region.

They are really bright and will turn heads especially with the heel height. A small design flaw - I have small ankles so I had to use the last hole for the buckle which left a portion of the strap just sort of dangling. I had to tuck in the strap which made things look not as clean.
