Article: Inhibition of mitomycin C-induced chromosomal aberrations by micrometer powder of selenium-enriched green tea in mice spermatocytes.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The anticlastogenic effect of micrometer powder of selenium-enriched green tea (MSTP) was evaluated by using a chromosomal aberration assay in mouse testicular cells. Animals fed with a Se-deficient diet were treated with MSTP, micrometer powder of regular green tea (MRTP), selenite, and MRTP + selenite for 30 days by an intragastric route, followed by treatment of mitomycin C (MMC) on day 19 through intraperitoneal injection (ip). Selenium status and antioxidant enzymes were measured. Results indicated that MSTP showed a significant capability to reduce the incidence of MMC-induced chromosomal aberrations in spermatocytes from 22.7% to 6.7%. This inhibitory was highest, for MSTP, at 73.1%, while it was only 38.4% for MRTP. After 30 days of a Se-deficient diet, mice, either with or without the MMC treatment, showed a lower selenium concentration in blood and liver as well as lower enzyme activity of the antioxidants, GPx and SOD. Supplementation with MSTP, selenite, or selenite + MRTP enhanced the activities of these antioxidant enzymes. This enhancement was accompanied with a concomitant elevation of selenium levels, which favored the synthesis of the seleno-enzyme GPx and protected the cells from the MMC-induced oxidative stress. Our results indicate that MSTP is both able to prevent the chromosomal aberrations induced by MMC in mouse spermatocytes and to enhance GPx and SOD activity in blood serum and liver.Mutation Research/Fundamental and Molecular Mechanisms of Mutagenesis 05/2009; 675(1-2):11-6. · 3.90 Impact Factor
Article: Effect of nano-packing on preservation quality of Chinese jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill. var. inermis (Bunge) Rehd)[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The effect of a novel nano-packing material on preservation quality of Chinese jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill. var. inermis (Bunge) Rehd) during room temperature storage was investigated. The nano-packing material with lower relative humidity, oxygen transmission rate and high longitudinal strength (2.05 g/m2 24 h, 12.56 cm3/m2 24 h 0.1 MPa and 40.16 MPa, respectively) was synthesized by blending polyethylene with nano-powder (nano-Ag, kaolin, anatase TiO2, rutile TiO2). The results showed that the nano-packing material had a quite beneficial effect on physicochemical and sensory quality compared with normal packing material. After 12-day storage, fruit softening, weight loss, browning and climatic evolution of nano-packing were significantly inhibited. Meanwhile, the contents of titrable acid and ascorbic acid were decreased to 0.21%, 251 mg/100 g, for nano-packing and 0.15%, 198 mg/100 g, for normal packing; The contents of total soluble sugar, reducing sugar, total soluble solids and malondialdehyde were increased to 28.4%, 5.2%, 19.5% and 98.9 μmol/g for nano-packing and 30.0%, 6.3%, 23.1% and 149 μmol/g for normal packing. Therefore, the nano-packing could be applied for preservation of Chinese jujube to expand its shelf life and improve preservation quality.Food Chemistry. 01/2009;
Article: Inhibition of cyclophoshamide-induced mutagenicity by microsized powder of selenium-enriched green tea in mice.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Previously, the antioxidant activity of Se-enriched green tea extracts has been studied in vitro. In the present study, an in vivo micronuclei test was employed to assess the antimutagenic effect of microsized Se-enriched green tea powder (MSTP) in mice bone marrow. Pretreatments of MSTP, micrometer-sized regular tea powder (MRTP), selenite, and MRTP + selenite were given by gavage for 29 consecutive days prior to cyclophoshamide (CP) treatment. Certain key antioxidant enzymes were also investigated to elucidate the mechanism of antimutagenic effect. Results indicated that MSTP and MRTP or selenite alone did not significantly induce micronuclei at either concentration, confirming its nonmutagenicity. In the CP-treated groups, significant suppressions in the micronuclei were recorded following pretreatment with MSTP, MRTP, and selenite administration. The antimutagenic effect of MSTP was evidently observed by significant reduction in the frequencies of micronuclei in bone marrow cells when compared to a positive control group. The administration of MSTP, selenite, and MRTP + selenite also increased the levels of selenium concentration, glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzymes in both blood and liver. However, no pronounced differences in activities of GPx and SOD were found among MSTP, selenite, and MRTP + selenite. The present findings demonstrate that the antimutagenic potential of MSTP could not be solely related to the enhancment of antioxidant enzymes of GPx and SOD.Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry 06/2008; 56(10):3869-75. · 3.11 Impact Factor
Article: Antioxidant activity of Spirulina platensis extracts by supercritical carbon dioxide extraction[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Supercritical CO2 extraction of antioxidants from Spirulina platensis was optimized using response surface methodology. About 10.26 g/kg of extracts from S. platensis could be obtained under the optimum conditions of 48 °C at 20 MPa over a 4 h period. The antioxidant activity of the extracts prepared under the optimized condition, determined by linoleic acid peroxidation inhibition method, was lower compared with BHT and Trolox, but significantly higher than α-tocopherol in 300 min and became similar to α-tocopherol after that. The components of the extracts were further analyzed, and the results showed that the extracts contained 85.1 g/kg of flavonoids, 77.8 g/kg of β-carotene, 113.2 g/kg of vitamin A and 3.4 g/kg of α-tocopherol, which may contribute greatly to their high antioxidant activity. The main fatty acids in the extracts were palmitic acid (35.32%), linolenic acid (21.66%) and linoleic acid (20.58%).Food Chemistry. 01/2007;
Article: Effects of supercritical carbon dioxide extraction conditions on yields and antioxidant activity of Chlorella pyrenoidosa extracts[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Yields and antioxidant activity of Chlorella pyrenoidosa extracts obtained by supercritical carbon dioxide extraction through an orthogonal experiment (L16(45)) were investigated to get the best extraction conditions. The results showed that extraction pressure, temperature and modifier were the main three variables that influenced the yields of extracts. The highest yield was obtained at 32°C, 40MPa, 20Lh−1 with dosage of modifier 1mL ethanolg−1 sample for 3h. Moreover, increasing pressure and concentrations of modifier led to the increase of extraction yields and antioxidant activity. DPPH radical scavenging method showed that almost all the extracts had significantly higher antiradical activities varying from 29.67±0.29% to 54.16±4.49% comparing to α-tocopherol, Trolox, and BHT as references except extracts at 32°C, 35MPa and 15Lh−1 without modifier for 1.5h. These results indicate that supercritical extraction is a promising alternative process for recovering compounds of high antioxidant activity from C. pyrenoidosa.Journal of Food Engineering - J FOOD ENG. 01/2007; 80(4):997-1001.
Article: Effect of enzyme inactivation by microwave and oven heating on preservation quality of green tea[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The effects of enzyme inactivation by microwave and oven heating were determined on the quality of tea harvested and stored in the spring and autumn tea processing season. The results indicated that both spring and autumn tea possessed by microwave heating had significantly higher vitamin C content and less loss during storage than that by oven heating. The absorbance of extracts of spring and autumn tea by microwave heating was higher than that by oven heating after several months' storage, though lower for the first few months. The chlorophyll content of spring and autumn tea by microwave heating was higher and more stable than that by oven heating followed by storage, which indicated that microwave-heating treatment could reduce the decomposition of chlorophyll. The sensory quality was also higher in spring and autumn tea treated by microwave heating. However, no significant difference was found in the content of tea polyphenol between microwave and oven heating in spring and autumn tea. These results indicated that the preservation qualities of green tea harvested in spring and autumn were greatly enhanced by microwave heating.Journal of Food Engineering. 01/2007;
Article: Antioxidant activities of crude tea polyphenols, polysaccharides and proteins of selenium-enriched tea and regular green tea[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The crude tea polyphenols, polysaccharides and proteins of regular green tea and Se-enriched green tea were investigated in vitro for antioxidant activities by auto-oxidation test (AAPH) and α,α-diphenyl-β-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging method. Results showed that crude tea polyphenols of Se-enriched green tea provided the highest antioxidant activity by DPPH assay and the antioxidant activity was decreased in the order: crude tea polyphenols > crude tea proteins > tea polysaccharides. The crude protein of Se-enriched green tea was found to exhibit the highest antioxidant activity by AAPH method and the antioxidant activity was decreased in the order: crude tea proteins > tea polyphenols > tea polysaccharides. Tea polyphenols and tea polysaccharides of Se-enriched green tea presented significantly higher antioxidant activities than that of regular green tea. No significant difference of antioxidant activities was found between crude tea proteins of Se-enriched green tea and regular green tea. The combinations of Se with tea polyphenols and tea polysaccharides were responsible for the higher antioxidant activities of Se-enriched green tea than regular green tea.European Food Research and Technology 01/2007; 225(5):843-848. · 1.39 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: The conditions for extracting and purifying polysaccharides from Chlorella pyrenoidosa, including intensity and duration of ultrasound, the temperature and incubation time, and ethanol concentration, were investigated through an orthogonal design of L16(45) in this work. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography (GC) were used to characterize the compounds in C. pyrenoidosa. The highest yield of 44.8gkg−1 was achieved at 400W of ultrasound for 800s and then followed by incubation in water bath at 100°C for 4h in 80% ethanol. Two polysaccharide fractions (S1 and S2) were separated from the extracts of C. pyrenoidosa using Sepharose 4B column chromatography. The average molecular weights (Mw) of S1 and S2 were 81,877Da and 1749Da, respectively. Gas chromatographic (GC) traces of the hydrolyzed polysaccharides showed that most of the majority of monosaccharide in both fractions was mannose (78.0% and 76.5% of relative mass from S1 and S2, respectively) with low levels of glucose (13.2% and 8.4% of relative mass from S1 and S2, respectively). The Fourier-transform infrared spectra (FT-IR) of S1 and S2 revealed typical characteristics of polysaccharides. Both samples had the characteristics of hydroxyl groups, weak C–H band and α-pyranoses; however, only S2 had a carboxyl group.Food Chemistry - FOOD CHEM. 01/2007; 103(1):101-105.
Article: Preparation, identification and their antitumor activities in vitro of polysaccharides from Chlorella pyrenoidosa[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Ultrafiltration membranes of different pore size were applied to fractionate Chlorella pyrenoidosa polysaccharides (CPPS) and the main fraction could be separated by a membrane with nominal molecular weight cut-off (NMWCO) of 30 kDa. Ultrafiltration parameters of 40 °C 14.0 psi were optimized for obtaining the main fraction. The resulting sample was further purified by anion-exchange chromatography and size exclusion chromatography, and two distinctive polysaccharides, CPPS Ia and IIa were recovered. CPPS IIa had infrared spectral characteristic of polysaccharides similar to CPPS Ia, and the symmetrical stretching peak at 1408–1382 cm−1 was an indication of the presence of carboxyl groups. The peak molecular weights were 69658 Da and 109406 Da, for CPPS Ia and CPPS IIa, respectively. Both CPPS Ia and IIa were composed of rhamnose, mannose, glucose, galactose and an unknown monosaccharide. Galactose (relative mass 46.5%) was the predominant monosaccharide of CPPS Ia and in CPPS IIa, rhamnose (37.8%) was predominant. CPPS Ia and IIa presented significantly higher antitumor activity against A549 in vitro than did a blank control, in a dose-dependent manner. Both fractions might be useful for developing natural safe antitumor drugs from C. pyrenoidosa resources.Food Chemistry. 01/2007;

ABSTRACT: The effects of polysaccharides from Chlorella pyrenoidosa on immunomodulatory activity were investigated in this paper. Phagocytosis of peritoneal macrophages was detected through ingesting chicken red blood cells (CRBC) test to evaluate nonspecific immune response. The cellular immune response was measured using the delayed-type hypersensitivity response to sheep red blood cells (SRBC) in terms of antibody titration level. Oral administration of C. pyrenoidosa polysaccharides, 1g and 2gkg−1 body weight significantly enhanced phagocytic rate (23.00 and 26.25%, respectively) and phagocytic index (0.30 and 0.36, respectively) compared with saline-treated control (P<0.05). The value of ear thickness rate was greatly elevated from 10.09% in saline-treated control to 16.22 and 19.48%, respectively in group treated with 1g and 2gkg−1 body weight polysaccharides (P<0.05). There was a significant correlation between the dosage of C. pyrenoidosa polysaccharides and antibody titre (r=0.99, P=0.019) and the antibody titre was significantly increased by 11.80, 21.90 as well as 39.80 in 2gkg−1 bw compared to 10.30 in the control. Dietary supplementation with C. pyrenoidosa polysaccharides did not affect the growth of the mice during the experiment. These results indicated that immunomodulatory activities in mice were enhanced by administration of polysaccharides derived from C. pyrenoidosa.European Food Research and Technology 01/2006; 224(2):225-228. · 1.39 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Antioxidant activities of ethanol and petroleum ether extracts from Brazilian propolis were determined by α,α-diphenyl-β-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical-scavenging and ferric thiocyanate (FTC) methods, using α-tocopherol and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) as references. The DPPH assay showed that ethanol extract possessed significantly higher activity compared with BHT and petroleum ether extract but lower than that of α-tocopherol. Results from the FTC assay indicated that the activity of ethanol extract was higher than that of α-tocopherol and petroleum ether extract but lower than BHT. Basically, this antioxidant activity was dose-dependent and ethanol extract exhibited higher activity than that of petroleum ether extract at the same concentration. Additionally, the chemical constituents of propolis were determined, and results showed that the propolis contained high content of antioxidant compositions, such as flavonoids (73.00gkg−1), total phenolic compounds (134.40gkg−1), and Vitamin E (0.16gkg−1), which contributed greatly to its strong antioxidant activity.European Food Research and Technology 01/2006; 225(2):249-253. · 1.39 Impact Factor

- The impact of new social models and enabling tools, combined with the means to employ them effectively (think mobile), are remaking the landscape of business, society, culture and government.
- Social business is one of the biggest shifts in structure and process of organizations in business history. It taps into entirely new sources of creative output (everyone on the network...mostly mobile), relinquishes structure that reduces productive outputs, and inverts methods of traditional control and decision making in work processes (as anyone on the network can contribute).
The Arab Spring, sprung without warning. It was inspired by a shared situational awareness and organized by social networks and collaboration platforms. We see similar flash responses to Bank of America raising service fees, and Netflix and Instagram changing their policies. The world is a different place in 2013. Companies must recognize the impact of real-time news and information flowing 24 hours a day around the world on mobile devices. They must adapt their methods, operations and communication strategies to meet these new realities.
Companies can no longer control their brand or communications. The crowds on social networks now control your brand and communications. If you wish to influence the crowd, you must listen, engage, have a plan and a philosophy on how to participate.
This new reality significantly impacts how companies must address the needs of their employees, customers, prospects and partners. People no longer look to the manufacturer or to the corporate office for answers, they ask the crowd on the social networks. The sentiment of the crowd is where truth lies today, whether it is true or not.
Companies that seek to control all information and communications lose credibility in today's world. Today businesses must be active members of the online community and be willing to participate in conversations about their business, products and services. They must apologize when they make mistakes, thank the community for constructive feedback and share both good and bad on the networks. Companies that embrace this social business concept will develop a community of loyal followers.
I am a long time enterprise mobility guy. I default to thinking about moving data out to mobile apps and collecting data to sync back into an enterprise system. The efficiencies are important in these scenarios, but today's SMAC developments are far more impactful and transformational. They aren't just about efficiencies, they are about a revolution in business.

Dr. Miloš Němček x0 addendum modification coefficient of Fellow cutter x2 addendum modification coefficient of ring gear z0 number of teeth of Fellow cutter DOES A RESTRAINT GIVEN BY A NULL z2 number of teeth of ring gear SIZE OF ROOT SPACEWIDTH OF AN f2 pressure angle at the root cylinder INTERNAL GEARING EXIST? n basic rack flank angle t transverse rack flank angle w0 manufacturing pressure angle of Fellow cutter * proportion (must be multiplied by a module) INTRODUCTION This task is easy when it is solving only for a theoretical solitary ring gear. It is the same as a calculation for an attainment of parameters for sharp teeth at external gears. It means that always exist parameters for which we can get a theoretical ring gear with a null root spacewidth. But these parameters are valid only for this theoretical case. In actual every ring gear meshes with pinion (external gear) and it has to be manufactured. For next consideration we will presume ring gear manufacturing by a Fellow cutter. And in this case the situation with the root spacewidth of real ring gear is quite different than for theoretical one. There are two parts in this article. In the first part A solving for theoretical ring gear will be showed. In the second part B solving for a real ring gear will be showed. A) SOLUTION FOR A THEORETICAL RING GEAR Both manufacturing and meshing with a pinion is not considered. So it is not necessary to think of eliminating backlash for meshing pair.

This article points to one important feature of an internal gearing manufactured by Fellow cutter. It is the d f 2 2 a w0 d a 0 (4) basic difference between sizes of the root spacewidth of a theoretical ring gear and a real one manufactured by Fellow Where basic Fellow cutter parameters are : cutter.

"I picked this style for my daughter's baptism cuz it wasn't too religious. It's classy and modern. Beautiful impression, thick paper so it doesn't seem cheap. I'm very hands-on, and it was amazingly simple to create this invitation!"
"This is a cute little invite. It's small and casual - if you're looking for something with a formal, momentous feel, this isn't it, but for our tiny country after-mass coffee hour it was perfect. The paper and printing are all top notch, feel heavy and high quality in your hand. Was thrilled to use the mail-it-for-you feature, invites went out fast and WAY less work for new mommy!"
"I used this invitation for our son's dedication at our church. I left all colors and fonts the same, the only thing I changed was the word baptism to dedication because that is what we do at our church. The card turned out beautiful!"
"This is a really beautiful invitation. The pink is more of a beautify melon and the green is very muted. I chose the sharp corners as I felt it was more formal for a baptism invitation. I am so happy with the way they turned out!"
"invitation turned out great - but small! I didn't check to see just how small the card is and how hard the text is to read. Still looks good - just tiny. Arrived late but tiny prints refunded my shipping cost."

Cannon fodder: No free ski passes
As the Josiah Bartlett Center's Grant Bosse first pointed out, Rep. Gary Coulomb, D-Berlin, has filed House Bill 514, which would let legislators accept free Cannon Mountain ski passes from the state parks and recreation director. Cannon is the state-operated ski slope located in Franconia Notch.
Legislative ethics rules bar lawmakers from receiving gifts worth more than $25. Cannon Mountain charges $47 for a half-day lift ticket and $70 for a full day. HB 514 would get around this obstacle by some rather obvious sleight of hand. The bill "exempts the receipt of ski passes for Cannon Mountain ski area by members of the general court from the definition of a gift."
If a ski resort owner gave legislators on key regulatory committees, such as Senate Commerce or House Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services, free lift tickets, it would be an obvious violation of the ethics rules. Under HB 514, the state parks and recreation director could give members of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees free ski passes, and that would be OK - even though those committee members play powerful roles in deciding how much state money Cannon Mountain receives from the taxpayers.
Some legislators say they need to visit Cannon to better understand how it operates. Fine, then arrange with the management for a tour. No legislator needs to ski the mountain for free to understand how it is run any more than a legislator needs to go on food stamps to understand how public assistance works. As Cannon receives direct state appropriations, any offer of free ski passes carries with it a potentially corrupting influence. The gift ban clearly should apply.

Friday evening a transient, name unknown, was struck and instantly killed by an east bound train, about 100 feet east of the Coon Creek station. The accident was first reported by the crew of the west bound 11:20 who saw the body lying beside the tracks. The remains were taken to the Wilcox-Thayer morgue. The victim had been struck on the back of the head and his brains cut out. Aside from this one wound the body was little mutilated.
Looking Back
Striking up the patriotic spirit for the upcoming Bicentennial celebration the Spring Lake Park council has ordered a cost estimate to paint the city's water tower red, white and blue. Located atop Able Park overlooking the city of Spring Lake Park, the 250,000 gallon water tank is in need of a new coat of paint since peelings and rust marks have become apparent on the structure.
Anoka's two banks have deposits of $1,090,703.13. If the deposit of banks are indication of the prosperity of a city, then Anoka can be counted as a financially strong city. The Anoka National and the State Bank of Anoka in their report of the conditions of the institutions show deposits of over a million dollars, which speaks well for banks and the city.
Three resolutions were passed by the Spring Lake Park Council commending the Spring Lake Park Jaycees, Mrs. Jaycees, and Kraus-Hartig VFW Auxiliary for the services performed the past year in the city.
The Blaine Residents Association is hosting the annual Miss Blaine-Junior Royalty pageant tonight, July 5, 7 p.m. at Blaine High School. Candidates are Lois Hoppe, Joni Oulman, Taryn Nordstrom, Renee Weinmann, Patti Lynn Sannes, Susan Timmons, Wendy Ann Pede, Jane Copeland, Tina Holm, and Catherine Simon.
Within the past few weeks there have been several more or less violent disagreements between horse drivers and auto drivers over their respective rights to the road. In most cases the dispute has been entirely vocal but in at least one, fists and teeth were used.
Grand Marshal for Blaine's Blazin' 4th parade will be Tom Poston, who is presently starring through July 21 in the comedy "The Odd Couple" at the Friars Minnesota Music Hall Dinner Theatre in Minneapolis. Parade begins at 11 a.m. July 4. A full schedule of amusement at Aquatore Park should provide amusement for everyone following the parade. Fireworks after dusk will climax the celebration.
Anoka invites you to celebrate with her July Fourth, promising a jolly good time all day. Following is the official list of attractions: Flag raising 9:30 a.m. with special salute and songs followed by parade at 10:00 a.m. Patriotic speech by Herbert Goodrich of this city. No resident of Anoka should miss hearing this speech. At noon a grand picnic dinner.
Federated clubs succeed in giving support to equal suffrage. Many cry with emotion. Resolutions which broke down constitutional bar of years is adopted amid stirring scene, much opposition.

A series of loud pops in the wee hours Sunday morning jolted North Platte residents awake near downtown.
The firecrackers went off about 2 a.m. and lasted a couple minutes, according to three separate reports to the Bulletin.
I thought they might be gunshots, a man who asked to remain anonymous said. I got up and looked out, but I couldnt tell where they came from.
Police investigated and found spent fireworks outside the Coors Distributing building at 642 North Willow, beneath the overpass, a police spokesman said.
Police have not found the suspects.

With pressure on California's foster care system to curb the rampant use of powerful psych meds on foster kids, concern is mounting about the doctors behind the questionable prescribing.

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - The California State Senate passed legislation on Tuesday imposing strict regulations on how law enforcement and other government agencies can use drones, a move supporters said will protect privacy and prevent warrantless surveillance.
The bill attracted bipartisan support in the Senate, passing 25-8 during the evening vote in Sacramento.

SACRAMENTO — Senate Bill 315
This bill by Sen. Ted Lieu, D-Torrance, would prohibit unlicensed contractors from advertising their services for any job estimated to cost more than $500.
Under current law, they may advertise for all construction projects, but must state in their ads that they do not hold a contractor's license.
REUTERS - Adults convicted of soliciting underage prostitutes for sex will spend a minimum of two days in jail and face fines of up to $10,000 under a bill passed by the California legislature on Thursday.
The bill, which passed the State Senate on a vote of 32-0, is the latest effort by lawmakers and prosecutors to stem human trafficking in the most populous U.S. state, which officials say is one of the nation's top four destinations for gangsters and smugglers setting up commercial sex rings.

SACRAMENTO — A bit of movie magic came to the Capitol on Wednesday.
Makeup artists transformed legislative interns into pirates of the Caribbean and cameramen used the magic of the green screen to transport visitors to the Oval Office with the cast of "Scandal."
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (Aug. 20, 2014) — The California Legislature has passed legislation that its proponents claim will improve automotive safety, protect consumers from "unscrupulous" tire dealers and increase fuel economy. Approved with overwhelming bipartisan support, Assembly Bill 1665 is headed to the governor's desk for his signature.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — State auditors have found Medi-Cal, the nation's largest Medicaid program, was hit with more than $93 million in potentially fraudulent bills by substance abuse clinics across California.The audit released Tuesday reviewed billing data from July 2008 to December 2013 for Medi-Cal's Drug Treatment program, which reimburses outpatient rehabilitation clinics, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The California State Auditor's office discovered $94 million in potentially fraudulent payments and more than 300 services approved for dead people in a searing review of the state's drug rehabilitation program for the poor.
The state's oversight failures created opportunities for privately run clinics to fleece the state, and its process for approving rehab clinics was so "woefully inadequate" that it put federal funding for the program at risk, according to the audit released today.
By Aaron Mendelson
A California program that covers addiction treatments for the poor may have paid $93.7 million in fraudulent claims, a state audit showed.
The report released Tuesday by the California State Auditor showed that the state's Drug Medi-Cal program may have paid more than $3 million in claims for patients who were actually dead, and found serious deficiencies in the agency's records for 30 drug treatment program providers.

Sales drop at Toronto Star publisher; staff decry cost cuts
TORONTO, May 7 (Reuters) – A grim newspaper advertising
market continued to hit revenue at Torstar Corp,
publisher of Canada's largest-circulation daily paper, in the
first quarter, the company said on Wednesday as its journalists
mounted a protest against cost-cutting measures.
In its quest for cash, Torstar said last week it would sell
its Harlequin romance-novel publishing business to News Corp for
C$455 million ($418 million). The sale helped reassure investors
who have worried that the company's dividend payout is
unsustainable, but it leaves Torstar more reliant on a
turnaround in its media business.

Professor Layton heads for the silver screen
Not many DS games could be adapted into watchable films. Can you imagine Spielberg Presents Meteos, a sentimental tale of three little colored rocks who dream only about visiting space one day? Or Nintendogs: The Movie, a three-hour epic of going for walks, finding a new collar, going for walks, chucking a frisbee, and going for walks? See what we mean? Rubbish.
Then again, the Professor Layton series has the potential to be a very fine movie. Level 5 thinks so, anyway, because it plans to release Professor Layton The First Movie. For now, only a Japanese version is planned, with January 2010 being mooted as a possible release window. This makes perfect sense, obviously, because the games themselves are already full of beautifully-animated, Studio Ghibli-esque cut-scenes. And who is currently working with Level 5 on a forthcoming DS game? Exactly.
Plus, this might be the ideal time to get rid of the stomach-churning pipsqueak that is Luke, preferably through very violent means. Maybe he's not even in the movie, and they've axed the little git once and for -- ah, dammit.

HP promised that an update for webOS 3.0 was coming in July. August 1 technically isn't July, but when you're dealing with these kind of things, I guess you might want to call it close enough. Word was that it would begin trickling out this morning. The Over the Air Update (OTA) update finally hit […]

A Solution to Beta Hardware That Should But Won't Happen
Those who follow and participate in the Tablet market, especially on the Android side of things, but also of late with the HP TouchPad have enrolled in a special club whether they wanted to or not.

Yesterday I published two posts regarding things I like and things I don't like about the HP TouchPad. As expected they've generated some interesting conversations in the comments.

I have a rule: Never read comments on news related sites or youtube. I always break that rule, though. This time, it spawned from Equestria Daily.
Instead of raging and gripping about something, I'll instead pose a question for anyone who wants to answer. I encourage everyone to answer in a non judgemental way and friendly way.
Here's the question:
We, as humans, are naturally programed to like humans. We all enjoy watching our cartoon pastel ponies but why are we so adamant about hating/disowning/discrediting the human counterparts? Even before the movies I noticed significant hate to humanized ponies. I like both equally but I'll be completely honest, I find it just a little bit weird that so many people hate the humans but are adamant about the ponies. They have the same writers, animations, and personalities/ponyalities (lol). Why then does everyone give them such a hard time AND/OR why do you prefer the ponies or humans over the other?
I wish this to be an honest, non-angry, non-accusatory, actual professional-like discussion. Please no ranting/raging/trolling/taunting. If that happens, I'll just say screw the philosophy of it all and delete this journal.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Among the companies whose shares could see active trade in Tuesday's session are CVS Caremark Corp., AOL Inc. and Fossil Inc.
CVS Caremark CVS, +0.09% revised higher its estimate for 2012 adjusted profit in light of what it called a "solid outlook" as the retailer and pharmacy-services company reported above-consensus earnings for the third quarter. Quarterly revenue reached $30.23 billion, rising 13% and also ahead of the consensus in a survey of analysts by FactSet Research. For the year, CVS Caremark now expects to earn between $3.38 and $3.41 a share on an adjusted basis; analysts, on average, have been looking for $3.36 a share.
AOL AOL, +0.37% posted a third-quarter net profit of $20.8 million, or 22 cents a share, a reversal from the prior year's loss of $2.6 million, or 2 cents a share. The profit exceeded the 19-cent consensus in a FactSet-compiled poll of analysts. AOL's quarterly revenue came in flat at $531.7 million as advertising growth was largely offset by a drop in subscriptions. The New York-based company also generated increases in both operating income and free cash flow, the results showed.
A big mover to the downside before Tuesday's opening bell was Fossil Inc. FOSL, +0.00% which steered Wall Street lower regarding its top-line outlook for the current quarter as it reported higher profit and sales for the current quarter. Read more: Fossil's shares hit on lower quarterly sales view.
On the retail front, Office Depot Inc. ODP, -0.44% posted a net loss for the third quarter, but on an adjusted basis, its bottom-line results exceeded expectations. Quarterly sales fell to $2.69 billion, off 5% and below analysts' consensus outlook.
Also on deck is OfficeMax Inc. US:OMX seen as likely to post third-quarter earnings of 25 cents a share.
Rounding out Tuesday's roster, Emerson Electric Co. EMR, +2.15% Marathon Oil Corp. MRO, +1.65% Tidewater Inc. TDW, +2.60% Georgia Gulf Corp. US:GGC Martin Marietta Materials Inc. MLM, +1.23% Cablevision Systems Corp. CVC, +2.39% Calpine Corp. CPN, +0.47% Louisiana-Pacific Corp. LPX, -0.13% International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. IFF, +0.51% Marsh & McLennan Cos. MMC, +0.50% Rackspace Hosting Inc. RAX, +1.38% Tangoe Inc. TNGO, +1.49% and WageWorks Inc. WAGE, +0.89% are scheduled to report their quarterly results, among others.
Marathon Oil's profit gains on revenue, margins.
Retroactive rate hikes help Tidewater turn profit.
Martin Marietta Materials posts 28% profit growth.
Marsh & McLennan profit surges on absence of debt-extinguishment charge.
Emerson posts adjusted profit, sales above consensus, dividend hiked.
Calpine's quarterly profit soars on lower expenses.
Overnight, NYSE Euronext US:NYX posted lower third-quarter profit and revenue, reflecting lower trading volumes for the operator of financial exchanges. Earnings on an adjusted basis came to 44 cents a share for the latest quarter, the results showed. The consensus forecast had been for NYSE Euronext to generate a profit of 40 cents a share. Read more on NYSE Euronext.
Later Tuesday, News Corp. NWSA, +0.20% NWS, +0.47% is projected to report earnings of 37 cents a share for the first quarter of fiscal 2013.
An analyst at Deutsche Bank on Monday reaffirmed a buy rating on the media company, which owns The Wall Street Journal, Dow Jones Newswires and MarketWatch, the publisher of this report.
"We see 15% upside to shares driven by (1) the fastest [long-term] growth prospects among the majors; (2) a sizable buyback; and (3) valuation upside from splitting off publishing and management cleaning-up minorities," Douglas Mitchelson in a report on News Corp.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
It's worth the trip for old-country German fare
I like German food but, living in a city with only one German restaurant I don't get to enjoy it very often. In fact I had to drive out of town to find another one -- to St. Pierre-Jolys which, ironically, is a town with a predominantly French heritage.
Stube translates into room, but Oma's Schnitzel Stube consists of three little rooms with walls partly white, partly avocado, and lacy white cafe curtains on the windows. The main difference between the rooms seems to be the colour of the tablecloths -- white in one, red in another and forest green in the third.
The menu is resolutely, traditionally German, and there's no modern nonsense about lightening it up. This is old-fashioned food in the best sense of the word -- hearty and rib-sticking, in heaping portions, with entrées priced from $9.50 to $15.50. And, not surprisingly, the eponymous schnitzels have pride of place -- a lengthy list of them, all of pork. The impeccably fried wiener schnitzel, under a puffy golden crust, was -- literally -- fork tender. The jaeger schnitzel was the same kind of schnitzel topped by mushrooms in a sauce that tasted like pure cream.
But there's more than just schnitzels. Rouladen, for instance -- thin slices of beef rolled around bacon and a dill pickle, and covered in brown gravy.
They were remarkable, not just for the flavour, but for the fact that they avoided the stringy dryness that so often afflicts other rouladen. The house-made bratwurst was one of the best I can remember -- meaty but not fatty, bursting with juices, with a whiff of nutmeg in the seasoning (but, alas, no mustard on the side). All were what you'd expect to find on a German menu but there was at least one surprise -- marinated elk, which had been roasted to tenderness in a lusciously dark, winey sauce.
Other (unsampled) entrées include schnitzels in other sauces, or stuffed with ham and cheese, as well as goulash, Kassler smoked pork chops and a stew. There are as well some smaller lunch dishes.
All entrées are preceded by a salad composed of several separate ingredients. The least successful part of it was the flabby, canned-tasting green beans, but the pickled beets were better, the marinated cucumber slices better still, and the potato salad so good I'd have liked a full serving of it. On the other hand the potato sides were equally good -- irresistible pan fries with bits of bacon, and french fries that lunchers at a neighbouring table described as awesome.
In fact, all the sides were lovely. Squiggly spaetzle noodles tossed with butter. Velvety, more-sweet-than-sour red cabbage. And, to sop up the gravies, golf-ball size bread dumplings. No bread though, but given the amount of food on our plates it was probably just as well.
Possibly there are more desserts on other days. On our day, the only house-made dessert was a delectable strudel with a raisin-studded apple filling
For those who want it all, or at least more than just one course, there are a series of weekend buffets: $12.95 for Friday dinner, $13.95 for Saturday dinner and for Sunday lunch or dinner, all including soups, salads, schnitzels, bratwurst and dessert. On the Saturday buffet prime rib, shrimp and back ribs are added, and on both Sunday meals, there are also goulash and rouladen, plus assorted cakes.
As well as a short wine list, there's a sizable selection of beers which, I assume are taken seriously here, an assumption based on the fact that I saw different beers being served in appropriately different glasses at different tables -- a tall, tapered pilsner glass at one, a chunky stein at another.
Service was warm and helpful. Some day I'd like to go back for one of those buffets, but for now my only complaint is that Oma's isn't in Winnipeg, where I could get to it more easily and more often.
St. Pierre Jolys is approximately 50 kilometres south of Winnipeg on Highway 59. Oma's is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Wednesday to Sunday, and it's probably safe enough to turn up unannounced during the week. But although the restaurant recommends reservations for the weekend buffets you may have to just leave your reservation on voice mail and hope for the best -- I tried phoning for more than three hours on Wednesday and voice mail was all I got.
-- -- --
Apart from the bratwurst I don't remember any other wursts on Oma's menu, but if you make a slight detour to New Bothwell on the way there, or back, you'll find a good farmer sausage at Country Smoked Meats, as well as the also good coarse ham and garlic ring, Polish sausage and all-pork salami (204-388-4724).
Bothwell cheeses are produced right next door, and although many of their products are sold in most Winnipeg stores, there are a few that won't be found everywhere. Like the medium cheddar dotted with black truffles, which is OK, although I don't know that the truffles and the cheese do much for each other. I would avoid the bland, rubbery mild cheddar, but the two-year-old cheddar is excellent and I also liked the garlic chive and the jalapeno spiced Monterey jacks. And Bothwell is one of the rare producers of the curds essential to a genuine poutine (toll-free, 800-361-9542).
Both the above on Main Street, New Bothwell, Highway 216.

What do you mean by "booster"??

Hi ladies!
I saw on my previous post that a couple of you had mentioned giving your kid's a "booster" dose when the one they are one doesn't last long enough.
Do any of you give a booster dose of Vyvanse? And if so..what mg are they on in the am..and then what mg "booster" do you give later in the day?
Just wondering if that would be an option for my son since if seems the focalin xr may not be right for him.
He was on Vyvanse 50mg in the
|Sun, 10-04-2009 - 10:08am
My son is on Focalin XR and he gets a booster of the same med in the afternoon. He takes 10 mg in the morning and 5 mg later in the day. He had previously been on Concerta which seemed like it stopped working a few months ago so doc switched him to Focalin. At first it seemed like it worked fine, but once school started it just didn't last long enough into the day.... seemed like it wore off around 3pm every day... like clockwork! So doc added the booster at noon. But I never saw much difference... still seemed like it wore off at 3pm. He has been home on cycle break for last two weeks with one week to go before next quarter resumes(we are on year round school here). Anyway, I tried my own little experiment and gave it to him about an hour or so later each day. And now I have noticed a huge difference. And we don't have any issues with bedtime... some people worry that giving an extended-release med that late in the day can keep you awake at night... BUT he also takes risperidal (for appetite) and Zyrtec (for allergies)

Sometimes going on a trip to Italy means looking at the past through the lens of the present – gazing over Roman ruins and trying to imagine what life was like so many centuries ago. And sometimes you can pretend you're back in time, in a small way and for a short while, letting your imagination come to life. That's just what you can do at a Renaissance court banquet in Florence.

Accademia Treasures (Besides the David)
Most of us know that when we visit Florence, one must-see is Michelangelo's exquisite "David" in the Accademia Gallery. What many people don't realize is that the Accademia holds other treasures, as well. In other words, don't plan to just make a beeline for David and then back out again. Here are some of the reasons to stop and look around awhile longer.

Orsanmichele Church & Museum
If you're walking along Florence's pedestrian-only Via Calzaiouli, peering into shops and anticipating your arrival at a big museum, you could easily miss the Orsanmichele Church. You'd probably see the exterior niches decorated with sculptures, but since you won't find a door on the main walkway you'd probably snap a photo and keep walking. Turn the corner onto Via Arte della Lana, however, and you can go inside a church with a fascinating history.

Pizza, Wine, and Gelato in Florence
Pizza, wine, and gelato are the holy trinity of Italian foods. While in Florence we had an evening filled with the area's finest foods. Our evening starts with a tasting and knowledge about one of the many things that make the region of Tuscany famous: the Sangiovese grape. Since before mid-evil times grapes have been grown in the Tuscany region just outside Florence. Over the centuries the wine makers have perfected their craft and produce some of the finest wines in the world. If you have ever tried a true Chianti it comes from this specify part of Italy. We learned about the process of making the wine and what characteristics that make it unique. A lesson in how to taste wine follows the history of the grape and region.

Piazza della Repubblica
The piazza in Florence to which most of us flock is the Piazza della Signoria. It's an excellent spot for people-watching, it's the original home of Michelangelo's David (and still has a copy of the statue), and it's right next to the Uffizi Gallery. But for another look at Florence's history, head to the Piazza della Repubblica.

Siena and San Gimignano on a Tuscan Day Trip
Tuscany, a famous territory in Italy known for its beauty as well as its good food and wine, is a place full of gems hidden in the hills. It's not easily accessible by public transport, so you have two options – renting a car, or doing bus tour day trips from a major city like Florence. As a new driver, I opted against the inevitable financial ruin that renting would have incurred upon me, not to mention the difficulty of driving on the winding Tuscan roads, and chose a day trip from Florence to Siena and San Gimignano.
