[1948] Mediator Complex Subunit 1 (MED1): A Common Molecular Participant in Pancreatic Carcinoma
Celina Villa, Jie Liao, Haonan Li, Wanying Zhang, Yuzhi Jia, Janardan K Reddy, Guang-Yu Yang. Northwestern University, Chicago, IL
Background: MED1 is a component of the Mediator complex that bridges GATA transcriptional activators and nuclear hormone receptors to the RNA polymerase II apparatus. Studies suggest that MED1 may be involved in organogenesis and carcinogenesis; however, the role of MED1 in the pancreas needs to be further elucidated.
Design: A total of 63 pancreatectomy specimens with 53 invasive carcinoma lesions queried from the Surgical Pathology department of Northwestern University were examined by immunohistochemistry for MED1 expression. The expression pattern of MED1 and its association with activation of mutant kras/p53 was determined immunohistochemically in the pancreata obtained from k-rasG12D/+/Trp53R172/+/Pdx-1-Cre mice and compared with wild type mice. MED1-positivity in ≥5% of the nuclei of carcinoma cells was considered positive staining. Focal positivity was defined as 5-50% of carcinoma cell nuclei and diffuse positivity as >50% of carcinoma cell nuclei. GST pull-down assay with S35-Labeled in vitro translated Pdx1 and GST-truncated MED1 was used to determine the interaction of MED1 and Pdx1.
Results: MED1 staining was confined to the nuclei of carcinoma cells as a dark brown staining pattern. MED1 expression was found in 50 of 53 (94%) human invasive pancreatic carcinomas, all exhibiting diffuse positivity; 100% (3/3) of invasive pancreatic adenocarcinomas in k-rasG12D/+/Trp53R172/+/Pdx-1-Cre mice showed diffusely positive nuclear staining, and 100% (2/2) early neoplastic foci with activated kras/p53 also showed diffuse positive nuclear staining.
All benign human pancreata (n=10) and benign epithelia adjacent to cancer (n=7) were MED1 negative. Negative staining was observed in benign pancreata of the wild type mice (n=3). GST pull-down assay identified Pdx1 binding sites in MED1 located in amino acid regions 440-740,740–1130 and 980–1370.
Conclusions: MED1 is over-expressed in human invasive pancreatic adenocarcinoma and murine invasive pancreatic carcinoma/early neoplastic foci with mutant activated kras/p53. MED1 expression was not observed in benign epithelium. These results imply that MED1 can be a useful malignant biomarker. Protein interaction between Pdx1 and MED1 indicates the potential role of MED1 in pancreatic linage differentiation/development and carcinogenesis.

Rated 5 out of 5 by mojave3ooo Enjoyable Stay at Conference
Stayed at this location for the first time for a conference. Lovely hotel, gorgeous scenery, great space for meetings. Room was excellent. Arrived at 9am for meeting and was able to check in right away which was nice. Room on 16th floor very nice. Outdoor pool very refreshing before/after long work days. On last day went downtown for an event. It is a bit far from downtown but if you are in the north end of Toronto this is definitely the place to stay at.. Food was good. All in all a most enjoyable stay and I would definitely stay there in the future if in that area.

Rated 5 out of 5 by beryb pleasant stay but far from downtown
Positive: Courteous staff, clean, spacious room, super comfy bed/pillows, taxis on site readily available, nearby bus stop which takes you to subway and on to downtown in about 35 minutes), in-rooom items such as coffee maker, fridge, hair dryer, etc.
Negative: distance to downtown, shower curtain smelled moldy, not so nice view from room 508, difficulty using wifi
Didn't use any of the on-site facilities like pool or gym.
Dinner at Katsura- chef was entertaining, food was good, but not quite worth the expense.

Rated 4 out of 5 by WGW27 Should include internet in suite.
I was very suprised that the Westin still charges for WiFi use in the suite. I have travelled a lot the past 3 years in Europe, Canada and the US and have found that it is now standard to be offered complimentary in all hotels from modest to five star . For the amount of time I needed it, it did not make sense to pay the fees being charged but at the same time it was very inconvenient to always have to go downstairs. This will definately influence my decision to stay here again.

Rated 3 out of 5 by appledc Usually good, but not last visit
During my last stay I was awoken by incessant knocking. It was a man stating to be the hotel manger (Curt?) and a facilities person demanding that I leave the room for a fire alarm check. I indicated for them to come back later. He kept knocking and knocking demanding I leave the room immediately because they weren't going to alter their schedule. I said I wasnt' notified, since it wasn't mentioned at checkin, not posted in the elevator or my floor, or on my door. He said there was a notice hanging inthe lobby and that I had to give them access immediately. I was ticked off and left the buiilding. Nornally the rest of the staff is outstanding, but I can't believe these two acted like stormtroopers to evict guests who weren't notifed. I've been at this hotel before when the power went out a couple of times and that didn't bother me because of the great overall staff,, but the recent treatement does.

Rated 1 out of 5 by paball Mistakes made
What looks to be a beautiful property, just did not live up to our needs. It was our 20th anniversary and sadly our room did not work out.
Everything was fine until the first of two nights. The room temp said it was going down to 60, but it was very warm and we could not sleep. I informed the staff and had a card in the room that said they fixed the problem. The 2nd night was worse. Very warm and had a very hard time sleeping. After the first day our room was never cleaned. I asked a maid in the hall and she said that her shift was over. We went out to dinner and when we got back the room was half cleaned. No towels. I called for towels and they never arrived. I called the next morning and it took 30+ minutes.
For a hotel of this caliber, these mistakes and problems should not occur. Pretty sure our 40th will not be there.

I am always very happy with the room and service. It's the little things that I appreciate. The coffee is replaced each day. Even the desk pen was replaced after I took it with me on the first day. Very clean hotel and the staf is exremely freindy and helpful.
The only small complaint is the temperature of the rooms. There is a draft and I had to keep the heat turned up to 80.
Other than that I have no complaints.

I always enjoy staying here and this saturday was a bonus as I was the starwood guest of the day. Which in itself is lovely but it was especially nice as I had driven through a blizzard from WIndsor to take my 87 year mom to dinner and a movie. What was normally a three hour drive took five and I was seriously questioning my judgement. So, to be treated with an upgrade was wonderful. Just a great oasis as always

From the moment I drove in the lane, I knew I would enjoy my stay, The building and grounds are well maintained and my room was sooo comfy .... but I had to go to my conference! Great facilities - awesome food!!! Just want to know how you managed to have the 3 deer wander through the garden as a welcome distraction during the boring part of my course!

Rated 3 out of 5 by J5542 Uncomfortable temperature
This hotel was uncomfortable in all the common areas. The temperature was stifling.
The bar, the restaurant, the meeting rooms where all very hot. The bar was so hot I was sweating. So I just left. The picture quality on the TV is a joke, it was like they where using rabbit ears for the signal. Most unpleasant stay due to lack of air conditioning.

This is our 10th stay at the Prince and Lidja normally takes care of us. Clara more than filled her shoes and the entire front desk staff was beyond excellent. Leroy, Ernie and Steve were their congenial best.
Only the menu and food at the coffee shop still needs improvement.
We will certainly stay with you on our next trip to Toronto..

Nice amenities. Good location if driving except there is a separate charge for self parking a vehicle. It is nice to have access to the tennis court. Fitness desk staff was helpful. It would be nice if there were a sign up sheet for tennis courts. Bathroom seemed small; showerheads seemed lower than normal.

Front Desk people are angels. Milia was our contact person and she was terrific.
I will say that I was surprised at how much in excess of the room rate you "hold" on check in. I hope no one is close to their credit limit when that happens. Good thing I used a card with plenty of credit limit!

We were satisfied during our short stay at Westin Prince Toronto, as the environment within and without the hotel was beautiful and very nicely maintained, the room was clean and pleasant, and the personnel at the front desk and for the service was kind and very helpful.

Rated 4 out of 5 by SHS34 Stay here frequently on business
I stay here often when I'm in Toronto on business. The hotel, facilities, rooms and staff are all quite good. The little touches are appreciated.
A couple of minor details: The pillows provided are generally feather pillows. As someone with severe allergies, I normally request synthetic foam pillows, which your housekeeping staff is happy to provide, but they are almost invariably old and lumpy and uncomfortable. Also, there aren't readily accessible electrical outlets to plug in devices like phones and laptops to charge. There's one at the desk, but the others are all hidden behind heavy furniture.
Aside from that, a good place to stay.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Arrowmaker Nice Property, but the Kitchen does not meet the Starwood standard
Stayed at here for the first time in 15 years a few days ago. Very impressed with the updates and, of course, always impressed with the 'Heavenly Bed'. Unfortunately, the kitchen is not up tot the Starwood standard. We went to the dining room about 8:30 pm on Sunday evening for a small bite after a day on the road. The warm Camembert I ordered was certainly not warm and essentially tasteless. The next morning, the kitchen could not correctly produce soft-boiled eggs; poached and hard-boiled were offered before we finally gave up. The wait staff were attentive, diligent, professional and truly apologetic. The deficiency was in the kitchen.

Rated 4 out of 5 by drnature Getting your needs met
Medical conferences can be exhausting. Flying in to a new place in the middle of winter can be disorienting. The Westin staff were friendly and seasoned at anticipating needs. I didn't have a car and the thought of either trying to find my way around or bracing the below temps was solved by eating at the lovely in-house restaurants. Want Japanese, Continental or Persian? - the choices were varied and I still want the grilled eggplant recipe stuffed with walnut paste and drizzled with pommegranite juice. The room was modern minimalist, but gave an expansive warm feeling. Great for anyone who suffers from claustrophia. Small details in the ammenities like the clothesline for wet swim suits, complimentary Starbucks, robe, hair dryer, iron, and toiletries. All of these things seem small, but when you are restricted from carrying items either because of security or cost they are welcome ammenities. It was lovely to wake up and use the fitness room, slip into the hot tub (could have been warmer) and then slide over to the sauna. Tyson, the concierge, was exceptional with coordinating ground transportation to the airport or answering any question or finding my not quite dry bathing suit after check-out and neatly packing it into my luggage. Without hesitation, I would stay at The Westin again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jacko Great location and a home like feel.
We stay here quite often and have always enjoyed our stay. The staff are quite open, friendly and accomodating. The workout facility is well equipped and above what one would normally find at a hotel centre. The location of the hotel is fantastic being close to the downtown but not in the downtown. The 401 and DVP are a block away for easy access to anywhere you want to go. Things are quiet around the hotel and going for a walk or run is an easy option. The restaurant has a great setting with good service and food. The pool is seasonal (indoor whirlpool though) and is kept clean and inviting. A great place to stay and would highly recommend a stay here.

We were very happy with our stay. The room was a bit dated (wallpaper) but the bed was excellent and the room had modern amenities. The property is gorgeous and relaxing. A great place to relax and feel you got away from it all in the midst of Toronto. You are literally 20 minutes from downtown.
The main restaurant looked great as does the lobby. Parking is pay here both self and valet. Concerns here are with the the pool. You have a major Carpenter Ant problem. You also have a signage problem getting to the pool that needs to be corrected. The room service at the pool is also a problem. I gave up on my drink order on Saturday.

Rated 3 out of 5 by ironman22 nice location but could use improvements
Nice hotel, located out of the city and a nice park behind.
Facilities are average. Sauna doesn't work, and the hot tube is cold. Gym is very small.
Ate breakfast and enjoyed the buffet. However my room was slightly dirty upon entering (the cups in the bar and the desk area).
Exercise room was a bit dirty and no staff, water spilled all over the place and some equipment didn't seem to have been wiped down for awhile.
The room itself was a bit cold or too hot, ran the AC or Heat non stop....leaving it at 21-22C did not seem to work at all. Plus it was so loud to keep on all night (I left it on regardless)
I think there are some better alternatives in the area.

Yam Centre
W. of Mandville
Manchester, Jamaica
A great place to stop for a roadside snack, the Yam Centre is located west of Mandeville on Route A2. Built atop a small hill, the centre is a collection of 12 tiny food stalls with names like Graney Razor One Stop and Shine Head One Stop (owned by a bald man). The stalls specialize in homegrown yams, a Jamaican staple originally imported from West Africa. Here, the fresh yams are roasted, buttered, and served with grilled saltfish (salt cod).
Insider Tip:
Contrary to tradition, the saltfish is not soaked before it's grilled, so the fish is still extremely salty; skip that part of the dish if this is an issue.

Financial crunch felt by local families with students in schools.
More students are receiving free and reduced-price meals at Santa
Clarita Valley schools than in years past, reflecting a statewide trend
directly related to the current recession and economic crisis. But that doesn't
mean that children are in any danger of going hungry.
Out of the 28,300 students served by the agency, which
provides breakfast and lunch for the Newhall, Saugus,
Sulphur Springs, Castaic and Acton/Agua Dulce districts, nearly 5,000 students
receive free meals and 1,800 pay a reduced rate, a 3 percent increase over
2007, when only 5,000 students had meals provided at a subsidized rate.
"We are going to feed them, the district is required to do
that," said Pavel Matusik, Chief Administrative Officer for the Santa Clarita
Valley School Food Services Agency. "The whole state has financial problems and
they ran out of money in May and June of last year. Some districts with a large
population of economically disadvantaged students took a larger hit. The LAUSD
had a $1 million shortfall, but we only lost about $5,000."
Matusik credited Jane Crawford, the Food Services Director
at the agency, for filing reimbursement requests quickly, so the local agency
received funding for May, unlike several other districts. He said that with the
current budget, the state is expected to run out of money by April of 2009.
served a record 770.6 million meals in 2007-08, 28 million more meals than the
year before, which is a 4.5 percent increase, compared to the average annual
increase of 1 percent experienced in the past. Currently, 3,118,053 students
– more than half of the students enrolled in public schools – receive free or
reduced-price meals under the program.
"Our responsibility
is to ensure that low-income students have access to nutritious meals because
hungry children do not learn," said Jack O'Connell, State Superintendent of
Public Instruction. "We cannot prepare students to succeed in the competitive
world they'll face in the future unless all of their nutritional and
educational needs are met today. Regardless of the many other economic
challenges California is facing,
I strongly urge the Governor and the state Legislature to find revenues to
fully fund nutritious school meals as well as the critical education programs
that are aimed at closing the achievement gap in our schools."
O'Connell is taking steps to prevent this from happening
again by requesting a state budget augmentation of at least $31.1 million to
allow CDE to fully reimburse schools for the May and June claims that remain
unpaid from last year, and to pay for the anticipated higher number of meals
districts will serve this year and next.

And he's doing it in an appropriate fashion — by going to the people.
In just a few short weeks, Najjar — who came to Cleveland from the Hunter Museum in Chattanooga — has already made personal visits and detailed presentations to a variety of area organizations and civic groups.
Two of his most recent included addresses to the membership of MainStreet Cleveland and just last week he spoke during the weekly luncheon of the Cleveland Rotary Club. His message is one of support for the local Museum Center and its value to the Cleveland and Bradley County community, but also one of vision because he sees opportunity in change. Not only can it breathe new life into the 14-year-old facility, it can embrace the future.
In order to best engage the community, Najjar is asking for input.
To Cleveland Rotarians, he asked, "What would you like to see at the museum? What do you get excited about? One of the refrains I hear over and over again is people say the museum isn't for them."
Najjar is giving such sentiments his undivided attention.
He wants to make the museum local. He wants the museum to be relevant. He wants the museum to be a voice of the people. He wants to accomplish these goals by hearing the voice of the people.
"We have a lot of meaningful stories that would probably mean a lot to you," Najjar told Rotarians. He said these are personal stories that "feel real, versus something that is abstract."
A few days prior to his Rotarian visit, Najjar brought much of the same message to his downtown neighbors at MainStreet Cleveland.
"We want to make the Museum Center a 'community experience,'" he said.
He wants to do it with local stories. "Those are the stories we are going to tell," Najjar stressed. "This is your museum. We want to make 'people' connections."
His audiences are hearing his words and feeling the message.
For instance, at the Rotary Club luncheon one member asked about finding a way to highlight local residents who had donated specific items to the museum. Another asked about bringing artifacts — on loan — from other museums. Still another suggested getting the Cleveland museum on a list for traveling exhibits.
Each suggestion is an excellent one. Each has its own challenges — such as cost, accessibility and local interest — but Najjar believes the downtown Museum Center's future is a strong one, provided the community supports it and it supports the community.
For now, Najjar is working to update the Museum Center's marketing techniques and how it communicates with area residents and visitors from the outside.
But much is yet to come.
What would you like to see at the museum? When would you like to see it? How? And would you be willing to help?
Engaging the community is the future of the Museum Center at Five Points. Its new executive director has some thought-provoking ideas.
We encourage area residents to share their suggestions.
We urge all to contribute to the vision.

Got Peace?
Have you ever witnessed children getting picked on for
their appearance or beliefs, or watched an innocent drafted soldier get injured
in a seemingly pointless battle? Or
perhaps you have casually witnessed a teenage fist fight on a street or in a
mall corridor? These are all examples of violent conflicts and, believe it or
not, they happen all the time. Similar conflicts called war occur between
different nations in our world today. The United Nations, or the U.N., has
taken part in noticing these growing problems and has been working on
correcting them since their creation.
Fortunately, along with other organizations, the U.N.
has been positively influencing teens from all around the world. An article written
by Carole Sumner Krechman and Brandon F. Shamin, called "Learning the Art of Making Peace-NGO
Watch", is a prime source that supports
these statements. For the world is a big puzzle, and peace is
the glue that holds it together. The children of today are the puzzle
builders of tomorrow. With this idea in
mind, the U.N.'s main objective is to provide peace for the entire world,
starting with our youth.
The U.N. originated during World War II, in an effort
to deal with international problems that posed a threat to world peace. Different sections of the U.N. include the
Secretariat, the General Assembly, and the Security Council. The Security Council is made up of fifteen
members. It's permanent original members are comprised of the
The U.N. was, and still is, a major part of the world's
peace goals, be it battles and wars or street gangs and bullies. It is the U.N.'s job to tackle conflict being
solved improperly, especially when it causes any type of injury or death. Through many attempts, they have dug for more
and more ways to spread the word "peace" to youths around the world.
In stride to put an end to conflict, many teens have
listened to the U.N.'s voice and yearned to learn better self-control,
judgment, and life skills. Teenagers
influenced by the U.N. like this have joined a group called the Peacemaker
Corps Association, or the P.C.A. The P.C.A.'s
objective is to strengthen peace building strictly among adolescents. It allows teens not only in the
With the topic of peace comes many different opinions,
some probably doubting how effective world peace really is. It is very important! Major conflicts being solved with violence,
such as war, can kill and injure more people in a shorter period of time than
casualties caused by accidents or natural disasters. And to think that that many lives could have
been saved if people turned to peaceful solutions instead of turning to
violence when a problem occurred.
Compare: the cost of weapons,
soldiers' clothing and food vs. the cost of sacrifice and peaceful
negotiations. Compare again: the time invested in hospital visits, lawyers
and court due to a gang fight vs. the time it takes to say I'm sorry or I'd
like to work this out with you in a peaceful way. The answer to this problem is obvious: Peace.
Throughout history, the U.N. has been making efforts
to spread world peace. With the theory
to spread peace amongst young minds, the U.N. believed that in future years peace would be more widespread and efficient than ever
before. Many youths have taken the
U.N.'s advice and joined other peace-making organizations like P.C.A. to obtain
a better understanding of peace in their own lives. The world is a big puzzle, and peace is the
glue that holds it together. Today's
youth are the puzzle builders of tomorrow.

I know that the first number of a metric radial tire is the width of the tire at the sidewall. For example a P195/65R is 195 millimeters wide at the sidewall. Also the tire sidewall height is 65% of 195 millimeters. This tire is a "low profile" sporty tire, and I have a set on one vehicle. The tires look very wide (and are a bit noisy).
I also have P205/75R on another vehicle. Now I would assume the tread width of the P205 tire would be wider than the tread width of the P195 tire, it isn't. It must be that the "low profile" fire has straighter sidewalls, and the tread has a more squared off transition to the sidewall than does the taller 75% tire. Could this be correct or is there something wrong with my measuring, and my eye for that matter. It is the fact the 195 tire looked wider that caused me to measure. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I believe the width is measured with the tire off the vehicle on the inside part where it fits up against the rim. That would make sense, anyway, because it's there that the width is most critical in terms of what tires will fit on what rims. For what it's worth, I've noticed similar oddities in tire measurements. The tires on my S10 are supposed to be 31" in diameter, but on the truck they measure about 29.5". Maybe sitting on a shelf at the store they are taller than when they have 2 tons resting on them. |
Cowboyind: Yes, the measurements are off the vehicle. This would account for the difference in diameter you found. My reference says: "..measured from sidewall to sidewall, when it is properly mounted on a wheel and inflated but not supporting a car." I take this to mean at the wide part of the sidewall, not at the rim. I also assume I can replace a P205/15 with a P225/15 when the tires wear out, using the same rims. Not sure about this last point. |
Attached is a link showing the tire dimensions and thier definitions. You're question pertains to the "section width" value as opposed to the "overall section width" If you follow the link to the "tire sizes" in the upper right hand corner it will show this. cowboy the dimension where you refer to (at the bead) is not a fixed dimension due to the flexibility of the side wall. FWIW, It is possible to mount the same size tires on different width rims. I suspect if it alters the section width from the specified value it would probably void any warranty as an improper application. Hope this helps. |
Here is a link that might be useful: tire dimensions
sdello, Thanks, and the figure does recognize my concern: tread width, but I could not find any tire size that also gave a tread width. It may just be too late and I can't see .. better get some sleep, this question will not interfer with my sleeping. |

Best Carnival Celebrations Around the World
Panama City, Panama
Panama City's version of Carnival tends toward the casual. Expect street parades full of dancing, drinking, and culecos, large 18-wheel trucks carrying water tanks that spray down the crowd. Put any expensive electronics away, as water balloons and buckets are also common (the sensation is more pleasant than it sounds; February is the dry season here).
Insider Tip: While the party crowds wear summer clothing (or very little at all), Carnaval is also a time for women to don the pollera—the traditional embroidered dress that's native to Panama—along with family heirloom jewelry. For the best photos of this finery, go to the Cinta Costera on the Sunday before Fat Tuesday.

Learning Together, Cooking Together
Fri 02 May 2014Story by Tarandeep Shoker and Shivani Khosla
Throughout the Big Rig tour, over 1,000 students have joined us on the Big Rig and learned their way around the kitchen. In Merced, we had the largest group of students join us on the Big Rig and we�d like to celebrate their experiences with healthy recipes. Two students from Livingston High School in Merced County were so excited about their time on the Big Rig that they wanted to share their stories with all of us.
First, we hear from student Tarandeep Shoker, a student who enjoyed the tasty teamwork on the Big Rig.
"I'm the kind of person who loves trying new things and The Big Rig was the perfect experience. I had a great time cooking before my class and learning that some of my classmates are chefs. The experience brought all of us together as a team and the recipe made our taste buds jump in delight. We worked in teams to cook the "Sizzling Beef" which was very fun to make. The meal was healthy and taught us that everything is better with veggies! The Big Rig was very clean and the chefs were nice, and were right on spot to help. I'd definitely go back and re-live the experience. I also learned techniques on how to stay safe while using a knife, things that will come in handy because I love to cook! I'm so glad that Jamie Oliver made The Big Rig because once you have the experience you realize how much better it is to cook healthy meals. After the session was over we wanted to stay a little longer so we could learn other recipes, but we couldn't. I can�t wait to make the meal at home and share it with my family!"
Tarandeep�s classmate, Shivani Khosla, also enjoyed learning to prepare a quick and healthy meal with classmates.
"I really enjoyed my visit to the Big Rig - the inside of the truck was not what I was expecting at all, but incredibly had many kitchen stations inside. Even though we were in a truck, there was enough room to move around and cook easily. The atmosphere was great! The staff was very nice and helpful. We first learned how to cook the meal which was Beef Stir-fry through a quick and informative demonstration, and then we separated into groups of three or four to cook our version. We used fresh, raw ingredients including beef, snow peas, baby corn, bell peppers and other vegetables to prepare our mouth watering dish. This experience also taught us teamwork in the kitchen. There was a recipe to follow, and we all split the work among our groups. This reminded me of Potions Class in the Harry Potter novels - I had always wanted to do something similar to that and now I have."
"The dish was quick to prepare and cook, and within fifteen-twenty minutes we were serving ourselves what we had just cooked. The meal was healthy and very delicious. Another great thing about this visit was that we also learned some fundamental basics of cooking. I learned how to properly hold a knife when cutting produce. We were also taught about some safety measures, and how to execute them in the kitchen. After this experience, I am inspired to cook healthy meals each day, and I'm sure that so are others. I learned that cooking a healthy meal that is quick, easy, and delicious is very possible. This experience taught me a great number of things on how to cook and about cooking. From the learning to the cooking to the eating, everything about this visit was fun - I highly suggest you give it a try!"
It�s no secret that food brings people together, just as Tarandeep and Shivani expressed to us. It�s even better when we can join ourselves around healthy food that is quick to make and gives us the time to enjoy the company of our family and friends.

Is America An Experiment?
Is America an experiment? We now know that when, in 1917, communism became the system of government in Russia, it was doomed to be seen as a failed experiment.
With OPEC, China, Russia, Japan and France looking at finding an alternative to the dollar for trading in oil, it looks as if the world might be losing its confidence in Uncle Sam's economic future.
If the USA is on its way out as the richest nation on earth, then it will have laissez-faire capitalism to blame for it.
The bankers have shown us how American-style capitalism will end. Too powerful to be reined in by politicians, the bankers will require bail-out after bail-out until American governments can borrow no more, and America is impoverished.
As William Jennings Bryan, Democratic nominee for the US Presidential Election of 1896, didn't quite say: 'You shall not crucify America upon the cross of Goldman Sachs'.

OmiGod Ash, that's awful. These guys are like pirates recognising no ethics, no allegiance to any country, no responsibility, no social awareness and no limits. Like pirates they have to be brought under the control of the law or they will bring everything down.

The hedge funds have now turned their hands to commodities. First it was energy, oil and gold but now it's metals and food as well.
As a result the US government is considering putting limits of the amount of commodity futures funds can hold. Guess what, our old friends Goldman Sachs oppose that.
Meanwhile the traders are now looking into actually physically hoarding commodities, since there will be no rules on that, only in futures, where they don't have to take possession.
Whenever the government regulates a market they move on to a less regulated one and distort that.

Future Workplace assists organizations in re-thinking, re-defining and re-imagining their corporate learning & talent management strategies to prepare for the 2020 workplace.
Future Workplace leverages its global research among 2,200 working professionals to understand the changing needs, expectations and requirements of multiple generations of employees.
At Future Workplace, we typically work on a retainer basis with clients, often starting with an onsite workshop (see list of workshop and speech topics) for an intact team of learning & human resource professionals and then mutually scoping out a minimum of a four-month engagement.
Our consulting engagements address the pivotal question: "Is your organization ready for the 2020 workplace?" Specifically:
- What are the external forces that will shape the way companies and their employees work in the next decade?
- How can your company and global employees best prepare for the changes foreseen in the 2020 workplace?
- What are the next and best practice strategies, processes, systems and tools that can help to create a 2020 workplace, defined in The 2020 Workplace book as one which provides an intensely personalized, social experience to attract, develop & engage employees across all generations and geographies.
The cornerstone of our thinking is examining how five forces impacting the 2020 workplace will impact an organization. These five forces, detailed in greater depth in The 2020 Workplace: How Innovative Companies Attract, Develop & Keep Tomorrow's Employees Today (Meister & Willyerd) include:
- Globalization: global access to markets and talent will reshape business. Growth today is in the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China) Tomorrow 's locations for growth could be Egypt, Turkey and Romania. How are companies preparing employees to develop a global mindset and way of operating in a global marketplace?
- Demographics: five generations will be working side-by-side in tomorrow's workplace. Employees cannot only be working with employees of their grandparents age but also great their grandparents. How will companies adjust how they source, orient and develop an age diverse workforce with a specific emphasis on Millennials who will be 50% of the workplace by 2020?
- Mobile Technologies: By 2020, we estimate that 5 billion people will be connected to each other by mobile devices we will increasingly become "web commuters," seamlessly combining our work and personal lives. Why and how will companies adopt to this growth in social mobile technologies?
- Innovation: At the heart of innovation is the belief that firms are increasingly leveraging external ideas and expertise to grow their business. Examples in marketing abound and include Cisco's X Prize and Procter & Gamble's Connect & Develop program. Now companies are expanding this thinking "internally," by creating Innovation Jams and other internal corporate social networks to accelerate innovation and grow businesses. How and what are the results companies are finding with innovation programs?
- Knowledge Economy: Every job is being re-defined for the 2020 workplace, requiring a new set of skills, competencies and behaviors. In the decade 10 years, a growing number of jobs will require a significantly more complex set of interdisciplinary skills. The Employment Policy Foundation estimates that 80% of the impending labor shortage will involve a skills shortage. What are the new skills and knowledge required for the Human Resource and Corporate Learning professionals as they lead their organizations in thinking about how to best prepare for the 2020 workplace?

King James Version (KJV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; | 1 Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because he who has suffered in his body is done with sin. |
2 That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. | 2 As a result, he does not live the rest of his earthly life for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God. |
3 For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries: | 3 For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do--living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry. |
4 Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you: | 4 They think it strange that you do not plunge with them into the same flood of dissipation, and they heap abuse on you. |
5 Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead. | 5 But they will have to give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. |
6 For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit. | 6 For this is the reason the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged according to men in regard to the body, but live according to God in regard to the spirit. |
7 But the end of all things is at hand : be ye therefore sober , and watch unto prayer. | 7 The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear minded and self-controlled so that you can pray. |
8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins. | 8 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. |
9 Use hospitality one to another without grudging. | 9 Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. |
10 As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another , as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. | 10 Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms. |
11 If any man speak , let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister , let him do it as of the ability which God giveth : that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. | 11 If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen. |
12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: | 12 Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. |
13 But rejoice , inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy . | 13 But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. |
14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of , but on your part he is glorified . | 14 If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. |
15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters. | 15 If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler. |
16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed ; but let him glorify God on this behalf. | 16 However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name. |
17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? | 17 For it is time for judgment to begin with the family of God; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God? |
18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved , where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear ? | 18 And, "If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?" |
19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator. | 19 So then, those who suffer according to God's will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good. |

Does anyone have an Avalon AVH-1000 wood burning fireplace insert? I am trying to find a manual and also need a blower fan and not sure if I should get a rear mount or front mount blower. Thanks for any advise. |

That unit is an early 80s insert. It was made before Travis Industries aquired them. We call those stoves "Smoke Dragons" because they are not EPA certified and are, by today's standards, very inefficient and dirty. (Polluting) To be honest, that insert has lived a very good and useful life, and it's time to consider retiring it. Replacement parts and things like the manual are rare as hen's teeth. |
The date stamp on this one says 1984. Are they more polluting than a regular fireplace, or is it just that there are more efficient models? |

I live in New Hartford (Oneida County). This will be my 4th year of gardening. By this date in the last three seasons, the snow cover was nearly gone. Presently, however, I have 12-14 inches in my yard. My question for all you CNY gardening veterans: Is this much snow unusual here in late March? I've planted scallion seeds in early April the last three seasons. Looks like I won't even be able to work the soil this year until mid-April. Looking forward to your comments as well the new season!! |

I've seen that much snow melt off in just a day or two, especially if we get some rain the next few days. March can be very up and down. |

I'm not far from you at all. This was an odd winter here, with tons of snow coming very late -- so we do have more snow on the ground than usual for this time of year, and it is still very cold. However, you're comparing it with the last few years: the past two winters have been milder and with less snow than usual, and last year was the earliest spring we have EVER had. I played golf on March 11 last year! There have been PLENTY of years when I couldn't plant early cold-weather crops (like onions or peas) until late April or early May because of snowpiles that hadn't yet melted. I still have a solid 2 feet of packed snow across the yard... at least 5 feet in the deeper parts (I know, because I still cannot see my rugosa rose and it was trimmed to about 5-6 feet high before winter, to minimize snow damage). |

For anyone who might have experience with Little Carol, I have a question.
I'm wondering more about this little rose. When I first received it, it seemed very strong and healthy. As time went on it didn't seem to get any new canes but the ones it had were getting longer and were still delicate. Is this little rose best in a pot as a cascading rose? I didn't read anywhere that it seemed like a cascading plant but it does seem to be growing that way. I have it planted in a peat pot in the ground and the rabbits made fast work of it. And it was doing so good! I put rabbit repellent around it but I might resort to putting a cage around it until it gets started. I've caged roses before until they got started. But if this one is more of a cascasding rose I might consider transplanting it into a pot where the rabbits won't be a problem. Of all the miniatures I planted this year, this was the only one they bothered. |

I'll check with the hybridizer's daughter about this mini. I know Little Carol gets very large. Don't recall ever hearing of her having a cascading habit. LC is on our short list of minis to get. |

Hi Julie22, I was having the same problem this year with long spindly drooping canes on my mini 'Jackpot'. Now it is starting to recover its vigor and stand up. It also has strong new growth. I think dryer and warmer weather is all my rose needed. |

Sue got back to me pretty quick. Here is her answer: Yes, I have grown Little Carol longer than any other person in the world. My mother hybridized this rose, and I grew the original mother plant in my garden in Chula Vista for many years. It was also the first of my Mom's roses to go into my garden here. I wouldn't be without it. This is not a weak, little plant; and it certainly is NOT a cascading variety. The typical plant is huge and upright, averaging over 4 feet tall in Southern California. It will make canes out of the ground that are as thick as your thumb. With the exception of the mini, Big And Beautiful, which stood up over 5 feet tall, I have never grown a bigger mini bush plant than Little Carol. Think BIG...and also think BLOOMS. Little Carol is always the first rose to bloom and the last. It makes slightly larger than mini blooms with tons of petals. Those blooms are deep pink with great form. Most folks would be drawn to it from across the yard, because of the gorgeous blooms on this huge plant. It always seemed to have flowers. My advice is this. 1. Protect the plant from the rabbits with a cage, until it is big enough to defend itself. 2. Start treating the plant like it is meant to be 5 feet tall with a huge root system. Don't treat it like a tiny rose. 3. Forget the stupid 'peat pot'. This is an own root monster. Replant it...without anything confining the roots, except some nice loose soil. 4. Give it lots of sun and kick in the pants with something organic, like fish emulsion, to get some basal canes started. 5. Don't underestimate what this rose can and will do. Right now, it is trying to establish the root system which will be big too. For any decent size canes to form, it needs a bigger root system. 6. Think big root system, when you water as well. Don't just give it sips of water. Soak the ground in about a yard circle. That will help to extend the area for the root system to occupy and seek nutrients. When Little Carol finally starts to grow, you will you realize that the effort is worth it. This is a truly great rose. By the way, your plant sounds like one that was barely rooted in a very small pot. So, it may take a month or two, before it can produce anything but limp stems. This is NOT what you will get later. |
Thank you so much!!! This tells me a LOT about Little Carol. I see I picked the right spot for it. Now to keep those darn baby rabbits out of my new miniature bed before the roses have a chance to get started! I did put a cage around Little Carol and a few of the others that were hardest hit and watched the baby rabbits trying to chew through the cages. I can't wait to see Little Carol get started and show her stuff. This plant does have a beautiful flower. |

You are quite welcome and I'll pass the thanks along to Sue. We grow 20 Dee Bennett minis but I like to ask Sue when someone asks about one of her Mom's roses even if we grow it. She does give detailed replies :) |

2008 MDX door armrest
I would like to replace the driver's side armrest on 2008 MDX - the leather piece where your arm rests while holding the silver handle. The parts guy at the dealership told me that you need to take off the door panel and unclip the armrest from the inside. Does anyone know if that's true? Can it be dislodged from the outside?
teeitup2 Posts: 6We damaged our driver's side mirror and local body shop replaced. I watched them remove panel and it appeared very easy for them. Probably any body shop would know the tricks. There are some hidden screws by the armrest that need to be removed. No special tools needed. I would stop by a shop and see if they can help you. It is about a 5 minute job to pull the entire panel

The small guanosine triphosphatase Ran loaded with GTP (RanGTP) can stimulate assembly of the type V intermediate filament protein lamin B into a membranous lamin B spindle matrix, which is required for proper microtubule organization during spindle assembly. Microtubules in turn enhance assembly of the matrix. Here we report that the isolated matrix contains known spindle assembly factors such as dynein and Nudel. Using spindle assembly assays in Xenopus egg extracts, we show that Nudel regulates microtubule organization during spindle assembly independently of its function at kinetochores. Importantly, Nudel interacts directly with lamin B to facilitate the accumulation and assembly of lamin-B-containing matrix on microtubules in a dynein-dependent manner. Perturbing either Nudel or dynein inhibited the assembly of lamin B matrix. However, depleting lamin B still allowed the formation of matrices containing dynein and Nudel. Therefore, dynein and Nudel regulate assembly of the lamin B matrix. Interestingly, we found that whereas depleting lamin B resulted in disorganized spindle and spindle poles, disrupting the function of Nudel or dynein caused a complete lack of spindle pole focusing. We suggest that Nudel regulates microtubule organization in part by facilitating assembly of the lamin B spindle matrix in a dynein-dependent manner.

Deus Ex: HR gameplay director apologizes for game's bosses
"We should have put more effort into them"
Francois Lapikas, gameplay director of last year's shooter-RPG Deus Ex: Human Revolution, has expressed regrets regarding the design decisions associated with the game's boss battles. "[The boss fights] were a big part of the game, and we should have put more effort into them. I'm truly sorry about that. Next time we're gonna think about it more," Lapikas said.
Eidos Montreal developers have already admitted that they weren't satisfied with the boss fights, although that was probably the first time they had the chance to go in-depth about the subject and explain what precisely lacked in that part of the game.
According to the director, the boss encounters were depicted as a "thing to break up the pacing more than a way to test the player's skill", suggesting the team thought the availability of various weapons and ammo throughout boss battle levels would lessen the difficulty of it.
Despite the ridiculous boss fights which had plagued the game, the Square Enix-published title was received pretty well among critics and players alike. Hopefully this piece of news means Eidos will be able to perfect whatever Deus Ex they plan to dish out in the future.

Belkin N52 Gamepad
What I like about this review is that Isobelle doesn't just tell you that this little mini-keyboard would be great for WoW or Half Life 2, hand out some star rating and move on. Instead, Isobelle literally takes you step by step though his keyboard configuration, and his enthusiasm for the controller has me rethinking my G15 plan. And of course he includes some typical Not Addicted humor.
Now my question for you guys is this: This N52 is cheaper than the G15, and looks like it has a lot of the same functionality, minus a whole bunch of keys, which may or may not be important. So...which one is the ultimate WoW accessory? Should I leave well enough alone and keep Santa on his G15 mission, or should I try the N52? Any of you folks use either one?

I LOVE this scent - it's one of my very favourites! I don't really get any of the notes described, it smells somewhat sweet but to me it's quite complex and sophisticated, I also get pencil shavings! The staying power is good, I get a lot compliments when I wear it. It's unusual and I find it good to wear at night xxx
I received a sample of this scent and yeah....it's not that good. Someone mentioned how it smells like an old piece of lush soap lol...it does. Basically like a veeery weak and watered down Aqualina Pink Sugar. If your thinking about getting this for the sweet aspect I'd recommend the Aqualina. Not entirely bad, just doesn't live up to the description.
Funny, how everyone smells something different here... maybe "unknown" is right. I smell the beach... no cotton candy, no plastic dolls, no bug spray, no roses, no sweetness or sour fruit. More specifically, this smells very similar to Bobby Brown "Beach" to me. It has a "Coppertone" sunscreen note to it. Staying power is good, I also think it's one of LUSH's better perfume scents.
The original description for this went on and on about carnivals, candy apples and cotton candy, so I was really excited to try this (I love foodie, sugary scents). I see now that the description on the site has been toned down a lot and now reads: "Sweet neroli and cocoa bring fluffy pink cotton candy to mind, while rose and sandalwood keep your feet on the ground. Main notes: Cocoa, vanilla, tonka, cassie, juniper, petitgrain, neroli, lime, lemon, bergamot, rose, ylang ylang, bensoin and sandalwood."
I was shocked and disappointed when I first got this, because I was expecting carnival sweets and it smells like sharp citrus limes, sour florals and something off and dusty. So the new description makes sense. It really smells like one of those generic lush scents full of chaotic citrus and mismatched florals. I don't smell anything like cocoa, vanilla or cotton candy.
The drydown of this is sour, unpleasant and reminiscent of bug spray and lemony floor cleanser. Just awful on me, and I hate the bulky, leaky black bottles that LUSH is using for their perfumes now.

Received a sample of this and reading the description of "candy floss, sherbet fountains toffee apple and the seaside", I couldn't wait to try it.
BLERK! This was a horrible essential oil perfume. It actually smelled like an old piece of Lush soap that's been sitting in a dusty drawer for years. It is nothing like a toffee apple, even a rotten apple would have more personality. Cotton candy? An old reel of cotton maybe. Seaside? More like the rotting planks of the boardwalk. Its not sophisticated as they claim, and the tagline at the bottom of the sample card said "Escapist Perfumery". Escapist alright, couldn't wait to get the stuff off me. And the price they charge for this mud pie is ridiculous. Dont even bother if you're after a gourmand like they tout it to be. Its nothing remotely gourmand. They should stick to soap.

Respec: a talent calculator for the Mac
- Save specs for later tweaking/reference
- Import from the Armory
- Export to Blizzard's calculator
[thanks, Mike]
I have been looking for one of these for PC.
Does anyone know of any kind?
"... but that's only until you don't have internet access."
Still, that kind of tool is absolutely useless.
I just downloaded it and it's a fun tool. I agree with @2 in that it's not really THAT useful since you can find a calculator online rather easily. Still, I'll probably use it from now on as it's an application I can open on my dock with one quick click.
It is nice to see people developing stuff for Macs. We've been getting the short end of the gaming stick for quite a while now. I've always commended Blizzard for incorporating nice Mac support features into their games, like the iTunes key binding options. I'm super excited for the upcoming video capture feature. Finally, a built in program for us that have been living without Fraps! Thanks, Blizz.
All I need now is a patch that allows my old Warcraft I, Warcraft II and Warcraft II expansion to work on Intel Macs!! ^^
There's an addon called "talented" which does exactly the same ingame ...
About the spec... Take one point away from +crit and put it to Shadowburn. And try to get at least one point to the Mana Feed talent, it's the only way to give mana to your pet after all.
If you plan to run many instances where you won't be using the felguard, consider throwing points into improved imp, mana feed, and improved firebolt. The little guy is a very nice pewpewpew machine and when I was specced demonology/ruin he did a good part of my damage in instances. Plus 82 stamina for the whole party.
I second the recommendation of Talented. People that respec often, say for raiding or PVP, really need this as it will automate talent learning.
great !
it's very nice to have theses little utilities on mac.
and yes the talented addon is very useful.
I was sort of "Meh" till I saw the Armory features. This is actually a really great little app.
Nice find :)
What's the deal with Wowhead's calculator? Other than working twice as slow for me as Blizzards, I don't notice a difference in how the thing functions, yet every says 'Use WowHead's, it's better.'
Dan: I prefer Wowhead's because it's (much) faster for me, and (in my opinion), prettier. If Blizz's is faster for you, it makes sense to use it.

A Cardiff University study has established a link between pub violence and happy hour-style drinking promotions.
The findings also show that pub staff themselves need to do more to stop heavily intoxicated customers from continuing to drink.
The team studied pubs and nightclubs with a history of violence across five different cities and towns in the UK. Customers entering and leaving the premises were breathalysed. The team also recorded data about the price of beer and any drink promotions at each establishment. Their findings were then linked to police and hospital data about assaults inside or immediately outside the premises.
The team found that premises with the highest levels of violence were most likely to have:• The greatest change in customers' intoxication levels between entry and exit• Price promotions on drinks
The team also found that simple observation of customers staggering or slurring their speech was a very accurate predicator of the levels of intoxication recorded by the breathalysers.
Dr Simon Moore, of Cardiff University's award-winning Violence and Society Research Group, who led the study, said: "Our findings clearly show that alcohol misuse and violence are not simply caused by drinkers' weaknesses. The way premises are run also contributes, suggesting the industry still has more to do in playing its part.
"The legislation requiring bar staff not to serve those who are already drunk should be properly enforced. Our study shows these customers are not difficult to spot - time should be called on those who can no longer walk in a straight line or who slur their speech."Measures to restrict promotions and enforce sensible drinking would make night-time city centres healthier and more enjoyable spaces for everyone who uses them."
The team's findings have just been published in the journal Alcohol and Alcoholism and the Project was funded by the Medical Research Council.ENDS

Los Angeles Designer Sue Wong clearly loves vintage fashion. She has honored Hollywood costume design and bygone elegance with each of her LA Fashion Week collections. Her Fall 2012 collection, entitled Autumn Sonata, offers Ms. Wong's trademark beaded cocktail dresses, coats and full length gowns ready to walk the Hollywood Red Carpet. There aren't many surprises in this collection, but neither are there any disasters. What's the collection all about? " Sue Wong fashion is timelessly feminine, gorgeously romantic and it's all about fantasy, " says the designer. When you look at the gowns, you can't help but think it's Cinderella time. The details on Ms. Wong's dresses are simply perfection. Passing through the work room at her Los Angeles Atelier and seeing the seamstresses and pattern makers, I witnessed firsthand the craftsmanship and artistry that goes into each dress.

After fishing, Conan and the Detective Boys are picked up at a fishing dock by Subaru Okiya while the professor is busy. On the way home, they decide to explore an island named Ikkaku Rock and come upon a dead woman's body.
Murder | |||||||||
Conan deduces, from her wristwatch bearing her name, the woman to be Akamine Hikari, the daughter of the head of a famous company. Conan reveals that Akamine was murdered and reveals that her dying message were the names of the fishes "Mackerel, Carp, Sea Bream, and Flounder" in katakana.
