Hilarious "Theory of Everything" Paper Provokes Kerfuffle
Journal editor resigns after publishing "an incommensurable, trans-disciplinary, neologistical, axiomatic theory of life from quantum gravity to the living cell"
Erik Andrulis, an assistant professor of molecular biology at Case Western Reserve University, has published an article in a new peer-reviewed journal called Life. His "theoretical framework," he says, "unifies the macrocosmic and microcosmic realms, validates predicted laws of nature, and solves the puzzle of the origin and evolution of cellular life in the universe."
The paper lays out a completely new way of answering the most basic questions of our universe. "In this work," it reads, "I have pursued and arrived at a scientific answer to the Schrödingerian question, 'What is Life?'" That answer has something to do with "gyres."
The paper is impenetrably dense; making your way through its 105 pages (more than half of which are made up of an insane eight hundred citations) feels like hacking through an unexplored jungle with a machete. But it's all about gyres. Planets are made of gyres (and thus sort of alive, sort of). People are made of gyres. Electrons are gyres. A gyre has a gyre inside it. I think. There's not really any testable science in the paper; there are no proofs or experiments or really any evidence at all. But it sure is grandiose. This is one of my favorite lines: "I refer the reader to the Theory section for a complete presentation of theoretical answers to many of science's most challenging questions."
We see weirdo papers at a pretty regular clip, but usually they're pretty easy to pick out. If we're linked to a paper written by someone affiliated with no academic institution, published in the web-only, non-peer-reviewed Steve's Journal of Flying Saucers and Also Climate Change Is a Conspiracy, we can pretty well expect that what we're going to get might be a little suspect. But Andrulis works at the very well-regarded Case Western, has published several comparatively sober papers on ribonuclease and its interaction with living cells, and Life, though new, has a bunch of respectable academics and scientists on its editorial board. At least two peer reviewers accepted the paper for publication.
Life's editorial board seems as surprised as anyone else at the content of this article; Stephen Mojzsis, a geochemist at the University of Colorado, resigned from the board in response.
I spoke to another member of the board, who wished to remain unnamed, and he said he had not read the paper before publication. (The editorial board members are just volunteers, not full-time editors.) The board member seemed, through his concern that the paper would undermine serious study of the origin of life, a little amused, and not entirely convinced it's not a hoax. "If it wasn't for his one 'Ohiogyre' definition, I'd be convinced it was a case of him really thinking he contributed something phenomenal," he said. "But 'Ohiogyre'? Really?"
Case Western, which had published a glowing, uncritical press release announcing the publication of the article, took it down. Ars Technica and others have questioned how the review process might have gone wrong.
Dr. Andrulis wasn't available for comment; the university's press-relations person gave me the runaround and then abruptly informed me that the professor was due to leave for vacation in just a few hours. But the paper can be read here, in its entirety, for free.
I wonder what happen if we remove the punctuation from your comments and just read the whole thing.
Never mind, it's still the same thing.
Science sees no further than what it can sense.
Religion sees beyond the senses.
Why is the idea hilarious? Maybe the paper could be fake in that the theory and calculations are off. otherwise how is this different than thinking everything is made out of strings. I have not read this paper so I can't comment on its validity however this just as absurd sounding as string theory which relies on there being something like 60 dimensions.
The difference in credibility between this and string theory is exactly what the article indicates: "There's not really any testable science in the paper; there are no proofs or experiments or really any evidence at all."
Now, I'll grant you that for the time being there's likewise not much in string theory that's testable from an experimental view (and this is one of the major reason's it's not a bigger field in physics right now).
However, string theory does add up mathematically (string theory actually typically requires 10 dimensions, M-theory requires 11). There are strong mathematical proofs for string theories (again, though, not to confuse a mathematical proof with actual reality).
In the case of this theory, there's really no significant mathematical proofs of anything at all. It's more a single guy's intellectual musings.
It also doesn't help the theory was developed by a biologist, not a physicist.
"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." - Carl Sagan
@Canadian the fact that there is no modeling found and that it is by a biologist is a reason to be skeptical, however this popsci article makes no mention of this fact, just wants to blast this theory because its based on the fact that everything has "life-like" characteristics. I wonder what the first paper on string theory looked like. Besides in string theory the models are made to fit the theory. The extra dimensions were needed otherwise the theory would fail. Maybe a model can be made to fit this theory. who knows...
I personally am quite skeptical but wouldn't label it hilarious especially if I have not read the entire thing just like the author of this article
Oh that very well could be, jacks. I'm not going out of my way to defend the author of the PopSci article, only mention a couple differences between this and string theory in terms of their credibility right now.
And like you said, a big reason to be skeptical of this particular paper is it's done essentially by a layman on Physics.
However, the article itself does make mention there's no real modeling around the paper.
Either way, I'm not really disagreeing with you.
"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." - Carl Sagan
One other note I should mention: I don't think any topic is ridiculous enough not to study or do research on.
I don't believe in ghosts, esp or any other such related phenomenon. But I'm nevertheless entirely comfortable with researchers doing research on such topics.
So too with this -- I'm skeptical, but wouldn't go so far as to say the guy is a nut job for publishing it.
"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." - Carl Sagan
Once I saw a guy on TV who claimed he had found theory of everything. He was on TV and had a single copy of his own very thick red cover book he named "Principea mathematica" and he was crying and complaining that bastards at science academy gives a fuck about him. Then the show turned into a TV auction of his book and some friend of his apparently bought the book for big dollars.
Alternately, it's more probable he has an understanding of said structures and created a theory that resembles and unifies what he already understands, therefore makes sense to him.
The universe predates biology, suggesting the answer to the universe does not lie in biology.
The power of science is in its predictive power, not its explanatory power. If his model makes testable, falsifiable and ultimately correct predictions, I'll definitely give it some serious consideration.
It's a perfectly fair thought experiment, though I won't write home about it.
"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." - Carl Sagan
"Furthermore, given that the electrogyre expands omnidirectionally from within to without, it manifests as a high-energy, unstable electromagnetic sphere (electrosphere) that filled with light; this explains the enigmatic nature of ball lightning"
Whenever I see grandiose claims about something controversial glossed over like that I say Hmmmmmmm....
The problem with this article is that it misinforms us by stating 'Life' journal (not to confuse with the magazine) is a peer-reviewed, scientific publication with some editorial board, etc.
Well, it is not!.. Recently, a mushroom of such openaccess journals are popping out everywhere on the web. Are they really scientific publications?.. Of course not.. When you check their teams, most of their respectable (!) editors and reviews are either bunch of losers from 3rd class institutions that no one cares, or names are not real/listed at all. Just check Life publisher MDPI, same fraud goes there too.
You can publish any of your blogs, novels, shopping lists, etc just put them in an article format and submit it online. Acceptance is actually automatic (well, they ask you to pay a 'small' (!) publication fee.
Shame on popsci that presents them as a valid reference.
Agreed mydejavu.
Another problem is, because Life is so new, it has no Impact Factor, which is a rough gauge of a journal's credibility. However, based on Life's publisher, MDPI, it's probably safe to assume Life can't possible have an IF greater than 1 or 2, which is extremely low.
"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." - Carl Sagan
its possible hes correct. not probable but it is possible. i think the problem is the presentation. string theory had a similar start.
"what do u mean the entire universe is made of strings? and we can't see them or test for them? spaghetti strings, shoe strings, springy strings? what kind of fumes are u letting off in ur lab?"
give it time to digest in the mind and get refined and it may make just as much sense as string theory, or more.
Oh, it could be, looiewu.
But based on the degree of detail this guy put into the document (it's not exactly an Onion News article -- it's a full-fledged manuscript; at over 100 pages, it's large even by academic journal standards), it seems likely the guy actually intended it as a real theory.
Also, since an editor of Life actually resigned his position because it was accepted for publication, it's likely he wouldn't have jumped to that rather extreme resolution over a joke.
I do tend to think it's a serious article.
"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." - Carl Sagan
I'd say he's on the right track. When you think about it, everything is spinning like a vortex from atomic structures, to planets, to galaxies... it's no wonder people see a 'tunnel of light' when they die as it's one big vortex of energy were all caught within. I've actually been 'outside the body' before and was shown that the physical ocillates at high frequency in a vortex where every micro second you occilate between the 'dead/spirit/other side world and the physical' much like 2 sides of a coin that cannot be seperated. Follow the white rabbit down the spiraling vortex of holographic conscious energy fields, morphogenic fields, quantum entanglement of mind and matter. Focus your attention on the funny spot of the back of the head were jews place there hats while entraining your mind to emotionally charged music and you might just find more than you ever bargined for. The research is already out there and well known I imagine...it just adds up to scary possibilities no different than unlocking the secret of nuclear weapons on earth.... anyone seen the lid to pandora's box, I seem to have misplaced it. Kudos to gyres!
I am pretty sure the author of this paper is just BSing. Here is the list of relevant gyroterms relating to the gyroverse in which all of us gyros made of gyros and gyros live.
Alternagyre A gyrosystem whose gyrapex is not triquantal
Dextragyre A right-handed gyre or gyromodel
Focagyre A gyre that is the focal point of analysis or discussion
Gyradaptor The gyre singularity—a quantum—that exerts all forces on the gyrosystem
Gyrapex The relativistically high potential, excited, unstable, learning state of a particle
Gyraxiom A fact, condition, principle, or rule that constrains and defines the theoretical framework
Gyre The spacetime shape or path of a particle or group of particles; a quantum
Gyrequation Shorthand notation for analysis, discussion, and understanding gyromodels
Gyrobase The relativistically low potential, ground, stable, memory state of a particle
Gyrognosis The thermodynamically demanding process of learning and integrating IEM
Gyrolink The mIEM particle that links two gyromodules in a gyronexus
Gyromnemesis The thermodynamically conserving process of remembering and recovering IEM
Gyromodel The core model undergirding the theoretical framework
Gyromodule A dIEM particle in a gyronexus
Gyronexus A polymer of dIEM particles linked by mIEM particles
Gyrostate The potential and/or kinetic state that a particle occupies in its gyratory path
Gyrosystem A gyromodel with specific IEM composition, organization, and purpose
IEM Information, energy, and/or matter
Levoragyre A left-handed gyre or gyromodel
Majorgyre A gyrosystem whose gyrapex is triquantal
Matrioshkagyre A model that demonstrates how gyres organize in nested sets
Ohiogyre Higher-order organization in which a gyre gyrates around another gyre
Particle A discrete, finite, empirically definable unit of IEM
Quantal Of or relating to the quantum; tri-, di-, uni- and aquantal gyrostates found in majorgyres
Quantum A capacious, potentially infinite, uncertain unit of IEM; a gyre
Subgyre The gyre that subsumed by the focagyre
Supragyre The gyre that subsumes the focagyre
Trimergence Evolutionary emergence of a triquantal IEM
The paper is genuine. I know because I have seen many versions of it over the years.
I have also had numerous conversations with Erik about the paper and an enormous amount of related material.
This material is VERY difficult to understand because it is so radically different from present theories, which, by the way, are all ad hoc. That is to say, the don't interrelate. For example, there is no overarching theory of organic chemistry.
The neologisms were critical for a such an overarching theory. Heck, we have them in chemistry and pharmaceuticials. The words cysteine and celebrex would have no meaning 300 years ago.
I understand the paper, but then, I have had years of exposure to related material -- and direct contact with the author.
I suspect most people won't want to do the VERY hard mental labor of learning something so radically new. More fun to watch Dancing with the Stars, I guess.
Not understanding something does not justify mockery.
Mockery is more fun than learning, but mockery is just a cover for willfull ignorance

Time to update science comprehensions of reality:
Universe-Energy-Mass-Life Compilation
A. The Universe
From the Big-Bang it is a rationally commonsensical conjecture that the gravitons, the smallest base primal particles of the universe, must be both mass and energy, i.e. inert mass yet in motion even at the briefest fraction of a second of the pre Big Bang singularity. This is rationally commonsensical since otherwise the Big would not have Banged, the superposition of mass and energy would not have been resolved.
The universe originates, derives and evolves from this energy-mass dualism which is possible and probable due to the small size of the gravitons.
Since gravitation Is the propensity of energy reconversion to mass and energy is mass in motion, gravity is the force exerted between mass formats.
All the matter of the universe is a progeny of the gravitons evolutions, of the natural selection of mass, of some of the mass formats attaining temporary augmented energy constraint in their successive generations, with energy drained from other mass formats, to temporarily postpone, survive, the reversion of their own constitutional mass to the pool of cosmic energy fueling the galactic clusters expansion set in motion by the Big Bang.
B. Earth Life
Earth Life is just another mass format. A self-replicating mass format. Self-replication is its mode of evolution, natural selection. Its smallest base primal units are the RNAs genes.
The genesis of RNAs genes, life's primal organisms, is rationally commonsensical thus highly probable, the "naturally-selected" RNA nucleotides. Life began/evolved on Earth with the natural selection of inanimate RNA, then of some RNA nucleotides, then arriving at the ultimate mode of natural selection, self-replication.
C. Know Thyself. Life Is Simpler Than We Are Told
The origin-reason and the purpose-fate of life are mechanistic, ethically and practically valueless. Life is the cheapest commodity on Earth.
As Life is just another mass format, due to the oneness of the universe it is commonsensical that natural selection is ubiquitous for ALL mass formats and that life, self-replication, is its extension. And it is commonsensical, too, that evolutions, broken symmetry scenarios, are ubiquitous in all processes in all disciplines and that these evolutions are the "quantum mechanics" of the processes.
Human life is just one of many nature's routes for the natural survival of RNAs, the base primal Earth organisms.
Life's evolution, self-replication:
Genes (organisms) to genomes (organisms) to monocellular to multicellular organisms:
Individual monocells to cooperative monocells communities,"cultures".
Monocells cultures to neural systems, then to nerved multicellular organisms.
Human life is just one of many nature's routes for the natural survival of RNAs, the base Earth organism.
It is up to humans themselves to elect the purpose and format of their life as individuals and as group-members.
Dov Henis (comments from 22nd century)
An Embarrassingly Obvious Theory Of Everything
Issac Asimov once wrote a paper about a substance called thiotimolene that was so soluble in water that it would dissolve BEFORE the water was added. The paper involved research into ''fooling'' the stuff into waiting untill the water was actually poured over it. The paper was a total hoot, but if one wasn't paying attention, one could be fooled into believing it was serious. I think that may have been the point of it.
For further elucidation and defense of the paper see my extensive and numerous comments on the following two sites:

II. EarthLife Genesis From Aromaticity/H-Bonding
September 30, 2011
Purines and pyrimidines are two of the building blocks of nucleic acids. Only two purines and three pyrimidines occur widely in nucleic acids.
Pyrimidine is a heterocyclic aromatic organic compound similar to benzene and pyridine, containing two nitrogen atoms at positions 1 and 3 of the six-member ring.
A purine is a heterocyclic aromatic organic compound, consisting of a pyrimidine ring fused to an imidazole ring. Purines, including substituted purines and their tautomers, are the most widely distributed kind of nitrogen-containing heterocycle in nature.
Aromaticity ( Kekule, Loschmidt, Thiele) is essential for the Krebs Cycle for energy production.
Natural selection is E (energy) temporarily constrained in an m (mass) format.
Natural selection is a universal ubiquitous trait of ALL mass spin formats, inanimate and animate.
Life began/evolved on Earth with the natural selection of inanimate RNA, then of some RNA nucleotides, then arriving at the ultimate mode of natural selection – self replication.
Aromaticity enables good constraining of energy and good propensity to hydrogen bonding. The address of Earth Life Genesis, of phasing from inanimate to animate natural selection, is Aromaticity.Hydrogen Bonding.

I just loved it and I got 1st place for sexiest costume do I need say more!!
This product was not at all like it looked in the picture. I had ordered a small but when I received the costume and tried it on it seemed more like a medium. Also, the costume was completely see through. I had to go out and purchase a white tank top and spankies just to make sure no one could see anything underneath. But, in the picture they make the outfit look like it's not see through. Poor quality.
This costume is so cute but so sexy at the same time. It is stretchy so it's comfortiable and not too tight. The thigh highs are sock like material NOT tights. The only issue is the garters are really hard to clasp on to the thigh highs. Other than that I LOVE this costume!
I am so picky, but this costume fit perfectly! It hugs your body in just the right places! Very flattering to your body, sexy and very good quality. Many costumes are cheap material, not this one. I can't wait to ROCK it for a couple of Halloween parties. My husband loves it!
I haven't really been the type to make a review on things but this costume is amazing! Im not the super skinny one but this costume fits in all the right places! cant wait for Halloween!

This costume is super cute! You cant really tell in the photo description but the anchors on the back and shoulders are made of sequin material (love them).I plan on wearing it to a few Halloween parties! The only concern I had was that the garters are not easy to figure out and do not stay In place but other than that it was a perfect in my opinion.

New Detroit schools EM, Jack Martin, is accountant, longtime government officialBy Associated Press
A longtime accountant and federal and city government official is taking over as the new state-appointed emergency manager for Detroit's public schools, Gov. Rick Snyder announced Monday. Jack Martin, who most recently served as Detroit's chief financial officer and previously was CFO for the U.S. Department of Education, replaces current Detroit Public Schools emergency manager Roy Roberts, effective immediately. Roberts announced earlier this year that he would leave the post. The former General Motors executive had guided the academically and financially struggling district since 2011. Both areas have shown improvement. Snyder, in a statement, praised Roberts and his accomplishments heading up the district but said "there is still work to be done, and Jack Martin's problem-solving skills, expertise and strong management and leadership abilities will help continue the positive transformation of Detroit Public Schools." Martin, a DPS graduate himself, ran his own accounting firm, and, as a government official, served three U.S. presidents. He served as chief officer of finances, acquisitions and procurement for the federal Education Department and held a concurrent appointment as acting director of the U.S. Selective Service System under President George W. Bush. Martin also served Presidents George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton as chair of the Provider Reimbursement Review Board of the Department of Health and Human Services. Martin also is a former emergency manager of Highland Park Schools. "This opportunity will allow me to continue offering leadership and making a positive impact in the Detroit community," Martin said in a statement. "Fixing education in Detroit is foundational to addressing the myriad of other critical issues facing our community — locally and statewide." Between 2000 and 2010, Detroit's population dropped by more than a quarter of a million, to slightly more than 700,000 people. By 2008, public school enrollment had slipped to less than 100,000 students. It is projected to fall to 40,000 by 2016. At the time of Roberts' appointment, DPS faced a $327 million deficit. According to Snyder, Roberts reduced the deficit by $251 million and produced consecutive balanced budgets with operating surpluses. The district also has increased the graduation rate by 5 percent during Roberts' tenure. Topics in this article: Education

Comments about Cat Shed Magic:
I was immediately unsure of this brush when I took it out of the packaging because it's much smaller than I expected... I have 3 cats so I thought this would take forever! But it didn't really take that long and it really truly works. My cats' coats are shinier and I've noticed a definite decrease in hairballs. The brush really gets the undercoat stuff, and much better than I have seen with my other undercoat brush. It was amazing how much more hair came out with this brush than the other TWO I used to use. And the cats loved it - to be fair they love to be brushed anyway, but the brush definitely didn't hurt them by any means. Plus I bought this brush when Wag had it on sale for like [$], so it was truly a great deal! Hope it goes on sale again so I can buy it for my friends!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Boys State Basketball: 'Real' West Finally Shows Up In 4A SemifinalBy Jeff Johnson and Josh Christensen, Reporters
This game was televised live on KCRG 9.2, as every game of the boys state basketball tournament will be.
DES MOINES, Iowa — Wyatt Lohaus drove hard baseline, drawing two interior defenders. Deftly, he bounced a pass just inside the out-of-bounds line, past those defenders and to teammate Jason Stewart for a layup. It was a beautiful basketball play, one that caused Iowa City West head coach Steve Bergman to leap out of his seat and give a double fist pump to his team. If you know Bergy at all, you understand the rarity of that outward display of positive emotion. "He did that?" Lohaus said. "That's probably the first time that's ever happened." Excuse Bergman because that fourth-quarter sequence was another sign he finally found the team he has coached most of this season. One that has been missing at the state tournament. A great second half performance rallied the Trojans past Dubuque Senior, 52-36, in a Class 4A semifinal Friday afternoon at Wells Fargo Arena for their 51st consecutive victory. Sluggish and timid in an overtime quarterfinal escape of West Des Moines Dowling and the first half here, West (25-0) reimerged with relentless defense and torrid 67-percent shooting that moves it to tonight's finals against Bettendorf (25-0). It'll be the first time since 1975 (Ames and Des Moines Lincoln) that 4A's championship game features two unbeaten teams. "That was my team," Bergman said of a second half that saw West outscore Senior by a 35-13 margin. "I don't know who that was the other night or the first half today. But that's the team." Senior (23-2) played a desired slower tempo in the first half, getting 17 combined points from forwards Kyle Haber and Josh Weeber for a 23-17 halftime advantage. West was just 4 of 18 from the field. But a defense-inspired 15-0 run in the third quarter put the Trojans on top for good. It was one steal after another for West, which denied passes and double-teamed shell-shocked Senior players. "The second half, that was about as good of defense as we've ever played. That was unreal," said Lohaus, who had 13 points and six assists. "Whoever had the ball, we were all over them. Active hands. Then whenever they'd kick it out, we'd scramble and matchup again. That was great." "We were doing the things we needed to do to win," Senior Coach Wendell Eimers said. "The second half, that didn't happen. Credit West. They had to have played one of their best halves of the year." As it was late in the Dowling game, Jeremy Morgan took over on both sides of the ball for West. He hit four treys in the third quarter en route to a game-high 17 points and helped completely take away Haber and Weeber offensively, neither of whom had a second-half point. "It's always a great feeling to come out and play the way we did in the second half," Morgan said. "That's the way we're capable of playing all game." "That defense was unbelievable," Bergman said. "Unbelievable. We were thinking maybe throw a little zone in there, but that man was so good." West was just so good. Finally.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A woman who was denied a position as the Bob Burdette Center's executive director, allegedly because the center's board members discovered that she was a lesbian, said Tuesday that the post was her "dream come true."
Last year, Jessica Hudson sued the religiously affiliated West Side after-school program after the board hired her to the executive director position but then rescinded the offer days later, based on inaccuracies in her résumé.
Hudson's attorneys allege that the board ultimately snubbed Hudson because a Bob Burdette Center staffer looked on her Facebook page and found out that she was in a relationship with another woman.
During trial testimony Tuesday in Kanawha Circuit Court, Hudson testified that she told board members in the initial job interview, "Welcome to my dream come true." She was devastated, she said, when board President Sam Sommerville called her and told her that the offer had been pulled.
"To me, it seemed a little surreal," Hudson testified.
Sommerville, according to Hudson, accused her of lying about her place on a Charleston Area Alliance subcommittee and her membership at the Witcher Baptist Church. The board also alleged that Hudson misled them on her résumé by writing that she "completed all courses with a concentration in the education field" at Concord University.
Hudson attended Concord, but took only two classes geared toward education and did not receive a bachelor's degree, she said.
She stood by her résumé during Tuesday's testimony. She was not heavily involved with the Charleston Area Alliance at the time she applied for the job at the Bob Burdette Center, she said, but confirmed that she served as the chairwoman of a two-person subcommittee and that she still had contact with many of the organization's members.
Her lawyer, Rick Brown, handed her a Bible with an inscription that indicated that Witcher Baptist Church officials dedicated the book to her after her baptism in 1993. Hudson testified that she and her family had been heavily involved with the church for many years and that she tried to convey that to Sommerville.

Encyclopedia of Southern Jewish Communities Overview >> Mississippi >> Lexington
Lexington, Mississippi
History of Temple Beth El
360-degree image of Lexington Synagogue
While Lexington incorporated itself in 1836, the first Jewish settler came to the area as early as the late 1830s. Jacob Sontheimer of Germany came to Holmes County, where he took a position ascaretaker of an elderly plantation owner named Mr. Johnson. Mr. Johnson appreciated Sontheimer's service. When Johnson passed away, Sontheimer received Johnson's land but not his slaves, after a court awarded them to Johnson's family members. Even without slaves, Jacob used the land for farming and named the 1200-acre plantation "Sontheimer's Place" a name that stuck ever after the family sold the property. Sontheimer also opened a general merchandise business in the 1840s in a brick building on the courthouse square. While Jacob and his wife Mary were quite successful, the Civil War decimated the Sontheimer ventures. The family never recovered and retired from the business world for good.
Despite his hardships, Jacob Sonteimer was the acorn from which the Lexington Jewish community grew. His ancestors have lived in Lexington almost ever since. Jacob's daughters became prominent local merchants. In 1883, Rose Sontheimer and Bettie Sontheimer Fisher started a sharecropping furnishings business called R & B Sontheimer Company, which proved to be quite successful in the post-Reconstruction economy. In fact, this business grew to become one of the largest in Mississippi, and at one point, Rosa became Mississippi's first ever individual female millionaire. Rosa eventually relinquished that title, as she married Isidore Hyman, a Jewish gentleman from Greenwood. Hyman joined their business, and the family's success in the crop-lien system led Isadore and Rosa to amass nearly 4,000 acres of land. While the Hymans grew very wealthy near the turn of the century, Isidore never forgot about those in need in the Lexington area. Through his wealth, he ran a private orphanage on his land in order to take care of those children without homes.
By the late 1870s, more than twenty Jewish residents resided in Lexington. Like the Sontheimers, most of these immigrants had been of German descent. By the 1890s, an influx of migrants was beginning to arrive in the Holmes County area, coming not only from Germany but also from Poland, Russia, and other parts of the United States. By 1900, the Jewish population of Lexington reached fifty people.
Between 1880 and 1900, new merchant families arrived in the Lexington area. Isaac Flowers, a tailor from Poland, and his wife, Esther, came to Holmes County, and the two started a clothing business in 1881. This store, known as the J. & A. Flowers Co., eventually earned a reputation for selling "misfit clothing."
While the Flowers brought tailoring success, Sam Herrman and Morris Lewis took Lexington's grocery businesses to a new level. Herrman, born in Davisborough, Georgia, was the son of Abraham Herrman and Lexington native, Celia Sontheimer. Abraham Herrman had just arrived from Bavaria, and he was looking for opportunities for the entire family. As a result, the Herrmans moved away from Georgia and went to Lexington. Morris Lewis was a young man from Poland who moved to New York at age 13. Although he received no formal education there, he learned English as a shoe-shine boy. While New York life brought opportunities to Lewis, he decided to join some of his relatives in Sidon, a small town south of Greenwood, in 1890 where Lewis could earn $25 per month as a store clerk. While Sam Herrman married Flora Levy of Vicksburg in 1898, Morris Lewis also found a bride in the area, Miss Julia Sontheimer, who was a granddaughter of Jacob Sontheimer; the Lewis couple married in 1900 in Lexington's First Methodist Church since there was not yet a synagogue in Lexington. After marrying Julia Sontheimer, Morris Lewis came to Lexington, where he made a connection with his distant relative, Sam Herrman.
By the turn of the century, Herrman and Lewis started a grocery business together called the Lewis-Herrman Company. The two gentlemen were very successful, and the grocery business eventually merged with other local grocers including the Barretts in 1915 and the Gwins in 1916. In 1922, Morris Lewis created the wholesale Lewis Grocer Company, which supplied grocery stores around the region. Lewis Grocer Company became the precursor for Sunflower Food Stores, an independent grocery chain that still spans across the state of Mississippi. Through their success, the Lewis family also created Foodway Grocery and Mr. Quik Convenience stores. From a company using buggies, mules, and a new Model T costing $350 in 1916 to new modern warehouses in Sunflower's eventual home in Indianola, the Lewis family showed great success as an independent grocer and wholesaler.
While the Lewis and Herrman families accomplished much for themselves, they made multiple contributions to the community as well. They brought a cotton press, an ice factory, a cotton oil mill, a waterworks system, and a sewage system to the Lexington community. Morris Lewis helped found the Lexington Rotary Club and served as the first chairman of the board of the hospital in Holmes County. He also organized the first electric light company as well as Merchants & Farmers Trust Company of Holmes County. Created in 1905, the trust company was such a priority for Morris Lewis Sr. that he mortgaged everything, including his own grocery store, to guarantee collateral for the bank. Lewis believed in being faithful to his customers and justified his actions to his family by arguing that he could not be in business without his neighboring customer farmers. In addition, the Lewis family also owned a Coca-Cola bottling plant in Lexington. Interestingly, Lewis did not believe that Coca-Cola was ever going to be a lucrative product, so he sold his franchise before the soda became a gold mine, a memory that Lewis Sr.'s living relatives still joke about. The Lewis Grocery Company was a catalyst for the Lexington Jewish community as well. Many Jewish families moved to the small town of Lexington to work for the business.
By 1905, Lexington Jews had formed a congregation, Temple Beth El. The land for the synagogue and the congregation's cemetery was donated by Herrman and Lewis. Lexington is the smallest town in Mississippi that has supported a Jewish congregation for a significant period of time. Temple Beth El has remained active even as its numbers have declined in recent years.
By 1908, nearly sixty Jews lived in the Lexington area. Their numbers continued to grow well into the 1920. By 1927, eighty Jews lived in the town. The Great Depression caused a drop in the town's Jewish population, which has been followed by further declines over the last sixty years. While cotton was strong during the "Roaring Twenties," dependency on cotton soon led to the downfall of this Jewish community. With the cotton economy struggling, Jewish businesses closed, causing many to leave for areas of greater opportunity. Today, only a few Jewish families remain in Lexington.
Despite its small numbers, the Jewish community of Lexington has always been very close-knit; indeed, many community members were distantly related to each other. Though the community is on the verge of fading out, Lexington has been a great small town Jewish success story. Lexington Jews have always been closely integrated into the social and economic life of the town. And despite their small numbers, they have managed to keep Jewish life alive in Holmes County for 170 years.

Low-Affinity Ca Indicators Compared in Measurements of Skeletal Muscle Ca Transients Biophysical Journal, Volume 97, Issue 7, 7 October 2009, Pages 1864-1872 Stephen Hollingworth, Kyle R. Gee and Stephen M. Baylor Abstract The low-affinity fluorescent Ca2+ indicators OGB-5N, Fluo-5N, fura-5N, Rhod-5N, and Mag-fluo-4 were evaluated for their ability to accurately track the kinetics of the spatially averaged free Ca2+ transient (Δ[Ca2+]) in skeletal muscle. Frog single fibers were injected with one of the above indicators and, usually, furaptra (previously shown to rapidly track Δ[Ca2+]). In response to an action potential, the full duration at half-maximum of the indicator's fluorescence change (ΔF) was found to be larger with OGB-5N, Fluo-5N, fura-5N, and Rhod-5N than with furaptra; thus, these indicators do not track Δ[Ca2+] with kinetic fidelity. In contrast, the ΔF time course of Mag-fluo-4 was identical to furaptra's; thus, Mag-fluo-4 also yields reliable kinetic information about Δ[Ca2+]. Mag-fluo-4's ΔF has a larger signal/noise ratio than furaptra's (for similar indicator concentrations), and should thus be more useful for tracking Δ[Ca2+] in small cell volumes. However, because the resting fluorescence of Mag-fluo-4 probably arises largely from indicator that is bound with Mg2+, the amplitude of the Mag-fluo-4 signal, and its calibration in Δ[Ca2+] units, is likely to be more sensitive to variations in [Mg2+] than furaptra's.

Modulation of Mg Efflux from Rat Ventricular Myocytes Studied with the Fluorescent Indicator Furaptra Biophysical Journal, Volume 88, Issue 3, 1 March 2005, Pages 1911-1924 Pulat Tursun, Michiko Tashiro and Masato Konishi Abstract The fluorescent Mg2+ indicator furaptra (mag-fura-2) was introduced into single ventricular myocytes by incubation with its acetoxy-methyl ester form. The ratio of furaptra's fluorescence intensity at 382 and 350nm was used to estimate the apparent cytoplasmic [Mg2+] ([Mg2+]i). In Ca2+-free extracellular conditions (0.1mM EGTA) at 25°C, [Mg2+]i averaged 0.842±0.019mM. After the cells were loaded with Mg2+ by exposure to high extracellular [Mg2+] ([Mg2+]o), reduction of [Mg2+]o to 1mM (in the presence of extracellular Na+) induced a decrease in [Mg2+]i. The rate of decrease in [Mg2+]i was higher at higher [Mg2+]i, whereas raising [Mg2+]o slowed the decrease in [Mg2+]i with 50% reduction of the rate at ∼10mM [Mg2+]o. Because a part of the furaptra molecules were likely trapped inside intracellular organelles, we assessed possible contribution of the indicator fluorescence emitted from the organelles. When the cell membranes of furaptra-loaded myocytes were permeabilized with saponin (25μg/ml for 5min), furaptra fluorescence intensity at 350-nm excitation decreased to 22%; thus ∼78% of furaptra fluorescence appeared to represent cytoplasmic [Mg2+] ([Mg2+]c), whereas the residual 22% likely represented [Mg2+] in organelles (primarily mitochondria as revealed by fluorescence imaging). [Mg2+] calibrated from the residual furaptra fluorescence ([Mg2+]r) was 0.6–0.7mM in bathing solution [Mg2+] (i.e., [Mg2+]c of the skinned myocytes) of either 0.8mM or 4.0mM, suggesting that [Mg2+]r was lower than and virtually insensitive to [Mg2+]c. We therefore corrected furaptra fluorescence signals measured in intact myocytes for this insensitive fraction of fluorescence to estimate [Mg2+]c. In addition, by utilizing concentration and dissociation constant values of known cytoplasmic Mg2+ buffers, we calculated changes in total Mg concentration to obtain quantitative information on Mg2+ flux across the cell membrane. The calculations indicate that, in the presence of extracellular Na+, Mg2+ efflux is markedly activated by [Mg2+]c above the normal basal level (∼0.9mM), with a half-maximal activation of ∼1.9mM [Mg2+]c. We conclude that [Mg2+]c is tightly regulated by an Mg2+ efflux that is dependent on extracellular [Na+]. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (461 kb) |
Intracellular and Extracellular Concentrations of Na Modulate Mg Transport in Rat Ventricular Myocytes Biophysical Journal, Volume 89, Issue 5, 1 November 2005, Pages 3235-3247 Michiko Tashiro, Pulat Tursun and Masato Konishi Abstract Apparent free cytoplasmic concentrations of Mg2+ ([Mg2+]i) and Na+ ([Na+]i) were estimated in rat ventricular myocytes using fluorescent indicators, furaptra (mag-fura-2) for Mg2+ and sodium-binding benzofuran isophthalate for Na+, at 25°C in Ca2+-free conditions. Analysis included corrections for the influence of Na+ on furaptra fluorescence found in vitro and in vivo. The myocytes were loaded with Mg2+ in a solution containing 24mM Mg2+ either in the presence of 106mM Na+ plus 1mM ouabain (Na+ loading) or in the presence of only 1.6mM Na+ to deplete the cells of Na+ (Na+ depletion). The initial rate of decrease in [Mg2+]i from the Mg2+-loaded cells was estimated in the presence of 140mM Na+ and 1mM Mg2+ as an index of the rate of extracellular Na+-dependent Mg2+ efflux. Average [Na+]i, when estimated from sodium-binding benzofuran isophthalate fluorescence in separate experiments, increased from 12 to 31mM and 47mM after Na+ loading for 1 and 3h, respectively, and decreased to ∼0mM after 3h of Na+ depletion. The intracellular Na+ loading significantly reduced the initial rate of decrease in [Mg2+]i, on average, by 40% at 1h and by 64% at 3h, suggesting that the Mg2+ efflux was inhibited by intracellular Na+ with 50% inhibition at ∼40mM. A reduction of the rate of Mg2+ efflux was also observed when Na+ was introduced into the cells through the amphotericin B-perforated cell membrane (perforated patch-clamp technique) via a patch pipette that contained 130mM Na+. When the cells were heavily loaded with Na+ with ouabain in combination with intracellular perfusion from the patch pipette containing 130mM Na+, removal of extracellular Na+ caused an increase in [Mg2+]i, albeit at a very limited rate, which could be interpreted as reversal of the Mg2+ transport, i.e., Mg2+ influx driven by reversed Na+ gradient. Extracellular Na+ dependence of the rate of Mg2+ efflux revealed that the Mg2+ efflux was activated by extracellular Na+ with half-maximal activation at 55mM. These results contribute to a quantitative characterization of the Na+-Mg2+ exchange in cardiac myocytes. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (376 kb) |

Because Mg2+ and Li+ ions have similar chemical properties, we have hypothesized that Li+/Mg2+ competition for Mg2+ binding sites is the molecular basis for the therapeutic action of lithium in manic-depressive illness. By fluorescence spectroscopy with furaptra-loaded cells, the free intracellular Mg2+ concentration within the intact neuroblastoma cells was found to increase from 0.39±0.04mM to 0.60±0.04mM during a 40-min Li+ incubation in which the total intracellular Li+ concentration increased from 0 to 5.5mM. Our fluorescence microscopy observations of Li+-free and Li+-loaded cells also indicate an increase in free Mg2+ concentration upon Li+ incubation. By 31P NMR, the free intracellular Mg2+ concentrations for Li+-free cells was 0.35±0.03mM and 0.80±0.04mM for Li+-loaded cells (final total intracellular Li+ concentration of 16mM). If a Li+/Mg2+ competition mechanism is present in neuroblastoma cells, an increase in the total intracellular Li+ concentration is expected to result in an increase in the free intracellular Mg2+ concentration, because Li+ displaces Mg2+ from its binding sites within the nerve cell. The fluorescence spectroscopy, fluorescence microscopy, and 31P NMR spectroscopy studies presented here have shown this to be the case.

The winning community of the Hockeyville competition wins prize money to upgrade their local arena, an NHL pre-season game, and a Hockey Night in Canada broadcast in their community.
The inaugural 2006 season of Hockeyville was won by the community of Salmon River, Nova Scotia on June 11. Since then, it has been an annual event being hosted in North Bay(2007), Roberval(2008),Terrace(2009), and Dundas(2010).

I have been working at Vitacost full-time for more than a year
Pros – I am surprised to see such terrible reviews for Vitacost; they seem more like bitter reactions than dignified reviews. To those who are genuinely interested in Vitacost as a job prospect I will write about my experiences here and hope that they help you get a non-emotional picture of what this company is all about.
When I was contacted by the in-house Vitacost recruiter I almost did not go to the interview; I thought that Vitacost was some sort of call-center or warehouse, the name did not inspire me to want to work there. I decided to go anyway and I am glad that I did. When you enter Vitacost corporate headquarters you will be surprised to see that everything is out in the open. It looks like what you would expect Google or Facebook to look like; a large open room with dozens of desks arranged face to face with monitors all over the place to view this or that metric. Everyone is moving around and communicating and it seems more like a trading floor than an office. There are private rooms and conference rooms, and private bathrooms, yes face-to-face stalls would have been weird; but for the most part everything is out in the open. I remember thinking that this could not be conducive to working, but it is. This is a high-tech company with movers and shakers that need to communicate quickly. Also, being around people motivates and entertains you. I get a kick out of listening to other peoples funny conversations, or hearing about their crazy weekend; it is a nice social environment that does not cause the distraction that I thought it would. There have been countless times that being out in the open has given exposure to an issue that my team and I were working on.
It does not benefit anyone to focus on the negative, but since there is so much of it here I would like to set the record straight on some of these comments. Or at least offer my view so that you have something to weigh them against.
Losing the free $50.00 a month allowance for products. This was an incentive for Vitacost brand products only that stopped because of an in-house change to manufacturing, it was not a cost cutting decision, not primarily anyway. Moreover, this benefit was sporadically utilized and it was more of a pain than it was worth. Employees still get a discount on the site, that has not changed.
Office supplies are no longer purchased. This has been greatly exaggerated. Basically it boils down to our CEO not wanting to waste materials like printing paper and the like. This is a green movement and should be herald. The joke about stealing pens from banks is nothing more than a joke, the CEO is a funny guy.
Free lunches were removed. This is true, they were removed, and I suspect it was due to several factors. People were not grateful for the lunches anymore, they simply expected them. And when they picked something there was an audible wave of complaints. Also, we are a health and wellness company, have you ever tried to feed this type of person? Everyone has a different diet, it's impossible. I also think that management would rather save the budget for more meaningful celebrations then these miniscule lunches. I personally do not miss them.
The company waits until your shift is over to fire you. Every company does this, be grateful that you got that much more pay before you were let go.
Cons – High turnover. From what I have seen, and from what other people have commented, there has been a lot of turnover; and I completely agree that this is concerning, but it is not constant. There have been some growing adjustments and people have left, but it is not more than a regular company. The difference here is that you can see everything that happens. We all sit next to each other, if someone leaves it's very noticeable. Also, it's not like there is a fire-lottery at the end of every week; the people that were let go, for the most part, were people you might have guessed were on their way out anyway.
Shoe-in hiring. This is completely incorrect. I can attest to this because I have placed four highly qualified resumes in HR and management's hands and these people were not hired. These decisions are based individually on need and are not given special merit.
There is a conflict between I.T. and marketing. I work in I.T. and YES! We have nerf guns and we shoot them at marketing. It is public knowledge that our CIO was changed and I can say, having been here prior to the current CIO, that things have changed for the better. Our new CIO is incredibly personable (as was our old CIO) and sharp as a knife, although he is intentionally playful to be disarming. Whatever imagined conflict is no more; we work very closely with everyone in the company as we are always helping in any way that we can. We love what we do and I can attest to the fact that from helpdesk to the CIO, everyone will help you. We will crawl under your desk and fix your PC with a smile and a joke. It is an incredibly friendly environment both in I.T., and in Marketing; we get along extremely well. This is one of the factors that I most like about working at Vitacost. I can speak to the CEO, the director of HR, and the maintenance man all with the same casual confidence. Everyone is down to earth at Vitacost.
I.T. is clueless and will be outsourced soon. I wish I knew how many times I have heard this threat. I cannot comment too much on this but I can say that this is not true. We have a highly qualified and thorough I.T. staff that is not going anywhere. These are some of the best people I have worked with and I have worked in a lot of places. The seniors are always willing to teach the juniors, directors are even tempered and polite, development is always willing to be pulled aside for a question, and our apps support and QA teams are amazing. There are problems, people are people, but we get it done and it is exciting in the process.
This is a company that offers opportunity for those that are willing to bust their ass to get it. Within the first six months I was promoted and I am constantly being given more responsibility. I did not know anyone here prior to being employed, I am not particularly friendly with the management, and I do not belong to a religious majority. I am a person who worked and earned. Not to make this all sunshine and roses, there are times that I am scared of losing my job. But I think that this is because the market is still bouncing back, and I have been laid off before; that combined with a visible hiring/firing process has unnerved me, but fear is all that has come from it. I am very happy working for Vitacost and I would highly recommend it to anyone that is driven.
Advice to Senior Management – This company is what you make it; this can be the land of opportunity, or the land of excuses, it's on you.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Hey Quadro,
Please do let us know if they manage to do it.
Also - whats all this ELM thingy, I used to recode keys for VAG cars etc, if its just some software and the Diagnostics port that is used - im sure I could do it (if its possible and the software is available).
I would also love to do the conversion - the MK2 ones look dreary and crap lol, my cousin who has a fiesta 02 - got into my car and said doesn't the dials and colours look !Removed!, i was a bit peed off then lol.
Bugger - can see that this post was ages ago... nevermind.

Hi Dan,
That is the strangest coincidence ever! I have just received my new cluster this morning! I had some trouble with a misleading ebay listing so that is the reason for the delay. Gonna try and fit soon and report back!
the elm config is all explained in a different tutorial thread. Good bit of software but it cant do the key programming required so it is sadly a dealer job.
Posted 12 March 2013 - 07:22 AM
Im sure there will be some kits out there for programming the key
Ill have a delv about.
Posted 12 March 2013 - 10:25 AM
You will probably require a VCM/IDS terminal which with the software is mucho dinero.
Posted 12 March 2013 - 11:00 AM
I agree Stoney, there is no publicly available software out there as it would allow anyone to reprogram the immobiliser! As you can imagine that would cause somewhat of a security risk!
Posted 12 March 2013 - 11:55 AM
You're looking at least £1500+ and the software licence on top.
Suddenly a Main Dealer or Auto Locksmiths prices look more reasonable methinks.
Posted 12 March 2013 - 03:37 PM
programming the key would be cheaper via auto locksmith possibly £80 or more
Posted 12 March 2013 - 04:07 PM

Oh definitely.
Ford would insist on a diagnostic before touching your car, refuse to touch your self-sourced key and charge you for one of their keys at about £90, say the job will take four hours, take a tea break and a nap, and then call a mobile auto locksmith and charge you for the whole shebang.
An auto locksmith will cut, code and test your self-sourced key in probably five minutes (including the handshake before and after) and charge you £80.
The choice is obvious to me and exactly what I did when I added a spare flip key to my car (only difference is that I have a tame mobile auto locksmith that did it mates rates for me at £30.)
Anyone in the South West (Exeter and below) wants the guys number I'll happily pass it on.
Posted 12 March 2013 - 04:33 PM
It isnt the same procedure from what I understand. I am not programming a new key, I am using my existing key and then programming the new cluster to communicate with the ecu. It is some sort of coding between the cluster and the ECU. This needs to be done by ford.
I have spoken to my local dealer and they agreed to give it a go for an hours labour, sadly I dont think I have a guarantee of success!
The only conditions they gave were that I had to have the cluster ready to remove, e.g. just unplug and that they had to see the old cluster in the car to verify the mileage matches.
I have the new cluster and when it is plugged in it all works fine, all the lights etc work, the display works fine just nothing happens when I turn the key. The idea is obviously to stop people very easily clocking it by changing the cluster.
Posted 12 March 2013 - 04:54 PM
Yep, definitely an ids needed for that.

- Description
An active dog's best friend. Potent, aspirin-free formula of White Willow and Pineapple Bromelain helps quickly ease temporary discomfort due to regular exercise and normal daily activity. Especially great for very active dogs who are involved in physical training and competition.
Vet's Best Aches + Pains provides extra nutritional support for dogs that suffer from arthritis, hip dysplasia, and other abnormalities of joints and bones. Vet's Best Aches + Pains, which includes 250 mg of glucosamine in each tablet, was developed by a veterinarian to provide nutritional relief for dogs with sore muscles and stiff joints.
The chewable tablets feature:
Glucosamine HCl: The best-absorbed form of glucosamine. Helps the body build healthy cartilage and synovial joint fluid, which lubricates the joints and promotes a free range of motion.
Pineapple Bromelain: Anti-inflammatory. Reduce swelling, pain and inflammation without the side effects of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM): Provides organic sulfur, which is critical for healthy connective tissue in joints, and for building new cartilage and synovial joint fluid.
White Willow Bark extract: Reduces pain, swelling and inflammation associated with arthritis, hip dysplasia and sore muscles.
Yucca: Anti-inflammatory. Reduces pain due to arthritis and hip dysplasia. - Directions
Suggested Usage
As a dietary supplement for dogs.*
Under 25 lbs.: 1/2 tablet
25 to 50 lbs.: 1 tablet
50 to 75 lbs.: 1 1/2 tablets
over 75 lbs.: 2 tablets
Give recommended dose twice a day, preferably with meals. Twice the recommended dose (a loading dose) should be given for the first eight weeks. This allows the blood levels to reach a threshold so the nutrients can pass into the joint capsule. For high maintenance dogs, the dose can remain at twice the normal level.
Contains no flour, fat, colorings, or preservatives.
This product is strictly a nutritional supplement and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, mitigate, or prevent any illness, disease, or medical condition.
Store in a cool, dry place.
Keep out of the reach of children.
