House of Lords: Reform
Deputy Prime Minister
John Spellar (Shadow Minister (Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs); Warley, Labour)
To ask the Deputy Prime Minister if he will publish the Government's estimate of the cost of setting up and running the House of Lords as envisaged in his draft Bill.
Mark Harper (The Parliamentary Secretary, Cabinet Office; Forest of Dean, Conservative)
The costs of a reformed House of Lords will depend on a number of variables. In particular the number of members and the transitional arrangements will affect the cost of members' salaries and allowances. We are considering the report of the Joint Committee on the Government's draft Bill before finalising our proposals for reform. We will publish full costs when we introduce a Bill.

Hi everybody! I intend to get a 30-amp manual transfer switch so my important circuits can be powered via generator during a power outage. I will have an electrician do the wiring, but want to have a good understanding of everything prior to making the call.
I know that normally one would put in a 30-amp breaker on the main service panel and connect it to the transfer switch. However, I have two 150-amp main panels sitting side-by-side in my garage to power my house. Most of the circuits I want to power are on one panel, but a couple of important ones are on the other panel. Is there a way I can power circuits on two different main panels with one transfer switch? |

Most likely not. The usual reason that two panels are put in side by side is not a shortage of current capacity but that they ran out of breaker positions. With only 30A going to the generator, it seems unlikely that only moving a few circuits over is going to make any real overload issues. |
So, you're suggesting moving some of the circuits from one panel to the other so that all of the ones I want to power with the generator are on one service panel? |
- Posted by ronnatalie (My Page) on Mon, Sep 5, 11 at 22:57
Most of these cheap transfer switches are panels in their own right. You just connect the circuit to the breakers in the switch panel. The only issue is if the 30 A circuit (and the aggregate panel it is in) can handle the load of all the circuits you move to the generator panel |

Autism – Closing In On the Causes
Posted by jlwile on July 13, 2010
Autism is a poorly-understood condition characterized by problems with social interaction and communication. It is clearly a complex neurological issue, and its symptoms range from quite mild to very severe. As a result, neurologists tend to use the term "autism spectrum disorders" (ASDs), as they suspect autism is made up of a group of disorders with similar features.
I have a good friend with Asperger Syndrome, which is an autism spectrum disorder. While he seems mostly like any other person, he has some obsessive, repetitive rituals, and he sometimes experiences great difficulty in communicating with people, especially those who are unfamiliar with his personality. On the other side of the spectrum, a couple I know fairly well has a son with severe autism. It is difficult for them to communicate with him. It is as if he lives in his own little world. Additionally, he often experiences "meltdowns" in which he slams himself against the ground or the wall and screams at the top of his lungs. His behavior is not the result of "bad parenting." It is the result of a serious neurological disorder.
What is frustrating for both health-care providers and parents is that so far, medical science has little to offer in terms of explaining what causes autism. In addition, while there are behavioral therapies that have helped many people with ASDs, it is difficult to prescribe a specific therapy for a specific individual. This, of course, leaves doctors and parents rather frustrated.
While there is a lot we don't know about ASDs, there are things we do know. We know that they are on the rise. Even though there are many different ways to define ASDs, which leads to many different specific numbers, a good overview can be found here. Based on their numbers for the U.S. and outlying areas, for example, ASDs among people age 6-22 have increased 18-fold since 1992!
What are the causes of ASDs? The answer is that we don't know. However, medical scientists are at least closing in on them.
For a while, it was popular to blame the rise of ASDs on vaccinations. After all, the number of vaccines given to children is rising, and the rate of ASDs is rising. Also, ASDs are generally diagnosed when a child is very young, which is also when a child gets a lot of vaccinations. Over the years, however, lots of studies have been done, and those studies clearly show that vaccination is not related to autism. Indeed, some of the authors on these studies are the same ones who demonstrated a serious side effect of the old rotavirus vaccine. That side effect was bad enough that the vaccine was taken off the market. If scientists who have a proven track record of finding problems with a vaccine couldn't find a link between vaccination and autism, then it simply doesn't exist.
More importantly, some very good studies have shown the ASDs are mostly (but not exclusively) inherited. For example, there was an excellent study published in 1995 that analyzed ASDs among British twins.1 It found that among identical twin sets in which one child had autism, 60% of the time the other twin had the same basic kind of autism. However, among fraternal twin sets in which one had autism, there was not a single example of the other fraternal twin having autism. If they expanded the study to include all ASDs, 92% of identical twins shared ASDs, and only 10% of fraternal twins did. Since identical twins have the same DNA and fraternal twins have significantly different DNA, this study shows that genetics is the underlying cause of most ASDs.
But wait a minute. If the underlying cause of most ASDs is genetic, why are ASDs rising so quickly in the United States? Is is really possible that human genetics is changing so rapidly that a genetic disease has increased 18-fold in less than 20 years? Surprisingly, the answer to that question is "Yes."
People tend to view genetics as relatively stable, but that is just not right. Instead, the human genome changes rather rapidly, in many different ways. For one thing, genes tend to get copied in the human genome, and the number of those copies can be dramatically different from person to person. For example, people in the U.S. have, on average, seven copies of the gene for amylase, a salivary enzyme that helps to break down starch. However, a given individual in the U.S. can have as few as two copies of the gene or as many as fifteen! It turns out that this actually tracks with diet – the average number of amylase copies in a population rises with the amount of starch in the population's diet.2
The human genome also changes as the average age of a population's parents changes. Genetic mutations in the germ line (the reproductive cells) accumulate as we age, especially among men.3 As the average age of parents increase, then, they produce children with more mutations.
It turns out that both of these effects play at least some role in autism. For example, several studies have shown that older parents are more likely to have autistic children than are younger parents. One study, for example, analyzed more than 130,000 Jewish people. They found that fathers who were over 40 were almost 6 times more likely to have children with ASDs than were fathers under 30.4 Other studies show that the mother's age also plays a role in the likelihood of a child having ASD.5 So at least one of the reasons ASDs are increasing in the United States is that the average age of parents is increasing.
More recently, a major genetic study on ASDs was published, and the results indicate that the number of copies of certain genes in a person's genome dramatically influences the likelihood of a child having ASD.6 The study looked at the genomes of more than 1,000 children with ASDs and compared them to the genomes of almost 2,000 children who did not have ASD but were otherwise similar to the children with ASDs. They found that compared to the non-ASD children, these children had significant variation in the number of copies of certain neurological genes. Interestingly enough, sometimes the number of copies were inherited from a parent. However, some of the variations in number of copies (about 6% of the total) were not inherited from either parent – they were brand new, appearing only in the child.
So there is a lot of evidence that the causes of ASDs are genetic. While it is good to know that scientists are closing in on the causes, it is also a bit disheartening, because a lot of genes were implicated in this study. As a result, there is probably no easy answer in terms of treatment or prevention. Certainly the medical community now knows more than it did before, but there is clearly a lot left to learn.

I've also been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome. For me, the traits that qualified me were my tendency to fixate on topics, poor executive skills, and introversion.
I tend to have difficulty at job interviews. I tend to talk too much and not smile enough, which are the opposite of what they want to hire. That tends to stink, but otherwise I don't have a problem with having Asperger's. On a forum called Wrong Planet it gives me a commonality. Many of the people who have been newly diagnosed are often of the mood of hating "NTs" or neurotypicals, but most people who have been diagnosed for a while tend to recognize that people with AS are pretty much the same as NTs with the exception of a communication difficulty. After a while they realize that there are just as many bullies with Asperger's as there are who are neurotypicals, especially if they attempt debate with another Aspie. Debating with other Aspies, especially if it is against their current interest, usually evokes resentment at the least and a lot of name calling and insinuation. At least that has been my experience with other Aspies on WP in the PPR subforum. There are others who don't really like all the drama and just want to avoid all of that. But for me, I tend to think I've only been limited in being able to be hired at places, but otherwise I think its a benefit to be able to learn subjects rapidly, although depending upon interest in said subjects.
Dr. Wile, been reading for a while, but this item prompted me to respond. My 6-yr old son is autistic. Thank you for stating vaccines don't cause autism. This myth is somewhat accepted by some of the homeschoolers I've talked to. And most of your other points are good, too. But I'd suggest that autism has not been rapidly increasing as you suggest. The link you've provided is to numbers produced by Thoughtful House, part of the bio-med treatment movement, that was founded and headed until recently by Andrew Wakefield, of MMR causes autism infamy. A more accurate take is here:
I don't understand how you think the genetic code changes so fast (the last 18 years). Finally, the Pinto study is also discussed in depth here:
thanks for writing this blog.
You are welcome. Here is one more autism prevalence link:
What is "on the margins" of genetics? Also, age of father isn't a genetic effect, right?
Hey Dr. Wile,
This was really interesting to read about.. I have a brother (adopted) who has severe autism like the couple's son that you know. I never could understand why, but using all your information in this post up against my brother's birth family and stuff, it makes a lot of sense.. especially the part about parents having more copies of certain genes.
"When a genetic trait is rare in the population, it can be selected out of the population entirely, or it can rise dramatically on a per capita basis, depending on all sorts of reproductive and environmental issues."
But isn't this true only for multiple generations? Natural selection doesn't work within one generation, does it?
I like it when you write about genetics. Way more interesting than that age of the Earth stuff!
It seems both genetic and psychological problems of children always get blamed on the mother. Even as a female with no kids (and no intentions of having them… biologically, at least) it's nice to hear for once that the "effect … is less pronounced" in the mother. It's not the girl's fault for once! WOOHOO!!!!!
So wait, you wish I would comment more so that you can tell me I'm wrong?
Dr. Wile, I'm sorry, but I'm terribly confused. First, I said natural selection because of the quote from you I posted had "selected" so I thought it must be natural, are there other kinds? (besides sexual I guess)
"the genetic traits of a population change continuously" this is confusing. lets just stick with individuals. I suppose the genetic traits in a man's sperm can change continuously (but all that much or fast? this was my original question), but these traits can only be passed down through children. So only changes before conception can be passed down. Can you explain this more?
"since developed countries insulate their individuals from natural selection" This seems wrong. Are you saying autistic individuals are less likely to reproduce but developed countries somehow counter that less likelihood?
"However, significant changes of genetic traits that are on the margin can occur very rapidly, as long as there is a continuous trend that increases the likelihood of that trait appearing." What is the trend that increases the likelihood of autism appearing? From the studies, I got that most, if not all, of the increase in autism prevalence can be explained by the factors we know about – increased awareness, diagnostic substitution, wider definition, etc. But what are the genetic or environmental factors that are increasing autism? I'm afraid I can't believe the age of the father is that important.

This month an agreement was signed between the local municipalities of Megiddo and Ma'ale Iron and the city of Umm al-Fahm for the establishment of a joint Jewish-Arab Industrial and Employment Zone. The zone will be established in 'Ma'avar Salam', east of Ma'ale Iron and Umm al-Fahm and will be spread over an area of 600 dunams.
The celebratory event that took place in the local council of Megiddo to mark the signing of the agreement was attended by Heads of the local authorities: Hanan Erez, Megiddo; Michael Eiloz, Ma'ale Iron and Mohammed Mustafa, Mayor of Umm-al Fahm. Treasurers of the local municipalities were also present at the event as well as project head Yoel Siegel, Helmi Kittani Director of CJAED and Uzi Palagi from the Business Center at Kibbutz Givat Oz. At the meeting, key stakeholders in the project decided on the next steps including planning, funding and gaining permissions from the Interior Ministry and the Israel Land Administration. CJAED Director, Helmi Kittani commented, "The development of joint Jewish-Arab industrial zones is part of our vision at CJAED. This new zone in Wadi Ara that falls between the large city of Umm al-Fahm and its neighboring communities marks an important milestone. We are now progressing with joint Jewish-Arab joint industrial zones in the Galilee, Negev, Triangle and Carmel regions. I believe that once we establish a successful model, many joint Jewish-Arab industrial zones will be established across the country allowing for full integration of Israel's Arab communities into the mainstream economy".
CJAED has been appointed to assist with the establishment of joint industrial and employment zones by the Ministry for the Development of the Galilee and the Negev due to its knowledge and experience in implementing successful joint Jewish-Arab development projects. Currently, CJAED is working towards the establishment of three other joint Jewish-Arab industrial zones at Bar Lev (Al-Shaghour, Carmiel, Misgav and Mateh Asher), Mevo Carmel (Ir Carmel, Yoqneam Illit and Megiddo) and Negev Regional (Bnei Shimon, Rahat, Lehavim).
CJAED has long advocated for the inclusion of Arab municipalities in the administration of regional industrial zones. Industrial zones are geographic areas that the Ministry of Industry
and Trade endows with specific benefits to attract businesses to an area. Administration and management of a zone is typically the responsibility of local municipalities. Industrial zones are effective tools to generate increased employment opportunities for local communities, to increase expansion and development opportunities for local businesses and they serve as an additional source of tax income for the partner municipalities.
With both Jewish and Arab local governments facing land shortages within their municipal boundaries, joint industrial zones provide industrial/commercial space without sacrificing valuable land in city limits. Currently, of the 7085 dunams of industrial area in the Galilee, 87% is allocated to Jewish municipalities and just 13% is allocated to Arab municipalities. However, in this region Arabs comprise over 50% of the population. CJAED's projects are aimed to bridge this gap and encourage integration of the Arab sector into the mainstream Israeli economy at a municipal and community level.

Hepatitis A in Childcare Settings
If you have a young child who attends daycare or if you work as a childcare provider, you know how easily illness can spread. Hepatitis A is a viral infection that is easily spread in childcare settings. Learn more about hepatitis A and how it can be prevented.
Hepatitis A is an infection of the liver caused by the hepatitis A virus. It can cause flu-like symptoms, like:
- Fever
- Tiredness
- Loss of appetite
- Nausea and vomiting
- Abdominal pain
- Dark urine
- Clay-colored bowel movements
- Joint pain
- Yellowing of skin and/or eyes
Hepatitis A is often not serious, especially in young children. Symptoms usually last less than two months. In some cases, they may last as long as six months. In rare cases, the virus can cause liver failure and death. This is more common in people older than 50 years of age.
How Is Hepatitis A Spread?
Hepatitis A is spread when the virus is taken in by mouth from contact with objects or foods that have been contaminated by the stool of an infected person. In childcare settings, this can happen easily, especially when hands are not washed after changing a soiled diaper.
Young children can have hepatitis A but show only mild symptoms or none at all. Hepatitis A is much more likely to cause symptoms in adults and older children. Because of this, outbreaks of hepatitis A may not be discovered until caregivers begin to show symptoms.
How Is Hepatitis A Treated?
Mild, flu-like symptoms are treated with rest, a balanced diet, and lots of fluids. If you or your child gets hepatitis A, talk to your doctor before taking any medications, including over-the-counter medications or supplements. Some medicines, like acetaminophen, could damage your liver if you take them while infected with hepatitis A.

On this warm sunny Saturday Spencer celebrated his belated 21st birthday by going fishing with his dad at Painter's Lodge. Spencer and his father both caught beautiful fish. Many other boats returned to the dock "tubbed out" this morning. For example; William and Shirley returned with their limit which included 2 hatchery Coho's. When Shirley reeled in the Coho she said "O, a small fish". But really the Coho's were 2 of very few that have hit our dock this season. They realized how special their fish was once they returned to the dock and everyone was pleasantly surprised to see them.

OK, I'll try to make this as quickly as possible. I want a calendar on my webpage where I can insert a picture in several blocks.....see what I have done so far:
I want the numbers at the top, the photo in the center and the text at the bottom of each daily block. As it is now, it doesn't work. I tried putting a table inside each cell and making the edges invisible, but for some reason not every cell would accept this new table. Is there an easy way to do this? Is there a downloadable calendar template I can use so I don't have to make a new one for every month or even go through the hassle of trying to add a table inside every daily block? Thanks for any help!! This is frustrating. |

Casey - You can modify the script to put other stuff in the cells. However, as yours seems to be a photo-journal as much as a calendar, daily tweaking and republishing is probably the only way to make it happen. |
Casey, I have a calendar that I have used on 2 of my webpages and you can insert pictures in it without making a table inside the cell. Put your curser under the date in the cell and then insert as you normally would. That way the date will stay in the top corner. Then type your text under the graphic. The cells expand to the size you need, while the cells that have no information other than the date will stay small. The calendar also has an html code so that the current month will be on the screen when opened. If you only want one month per page you can delete the other rows. You may save the calendar off my webpage if you want, or I can send you a clean template when I get home from work this afternoon. Play around with it and see what you think. My event calendar |
I took a screen shot of May using your images and text in my calendar. I like the way it turned out. I will send you the html file for the May one that I did if you want it. picture of calendar I added a black border to several of the images and couldn't decide if I liked it better with or without the border. |

Welcome to Florida. I would just like to point out that you posted your question in the Trades section. If you post in the Forum section you will more likely get the answers you seek. The only one I can help with is the Morning Glories. Yes, some Morning Glories grow here in Florida, however, the ones that have volunteered in my yard have withered and died during the heat of mid-summer. I imagine if I had more shade in my yard they might have done better, but shade is something I have very little of at the moment. |

You might want to try a Passion Flower Vine instead of Morning Glories. This would be a great place to trade for some nice Florida plants. |

I've grown morning glory here in Zone 10 (South of Lake okeechobee) just by throwing them into a palm tree, yes they do well here. Last year I grew some Mammoth Sunflowers and they grew huge. Don't know about the nasturtiums, but according to floridata.com they do well in zones 9-11 through the winter. |

The basic idea behind the strengths theory-that it's better to concentrate on strengths than to develop weaknesses-does have limits. Communication, reliability, the ability to get along with others and some other talents are so important to so many kinds of work that almost everybody needs to become as skilled as possible in those things.
"Anything to do with morals or ethics, there is a baseline requirement," says Marcus Buckingham. However, he continues, if you know you or another person is weak in, say, empathy, the empathy-impaired individual can be paired with someone who empathizes well, limiting the damage caused by the blind spot. "With self-awareness," he maintains, "anything is possible."
You can also mess up using strengths theory. It's only too possible to misdiagnose strengths and put people in jobs they aren't suited for. "A second and perhaps most pressing risk is that you'll forget that the point of management is always the same thing-to cultivate performance," cautions Buckingham. "The point isn't to become so absorbed in the strengths of your people that you forget to get the job done."
A Strong Future?
Some experts predict significant effects on businesses of all sizes due to the radical ideas behind the strengths theory. "If it spreads broadly, it could have a huge impact because it turns much of management and organizational development on its head," observes King. "It is much more humane. It is much more positive. It is not fear- or punishment-based. And companies that have implemented it have reduced turnover, increased productivity and reduced cost."
Businesses spend so much time training people to repair their weaknesses, with such disappointing results, that the idea of achieving greatness by not trying to do everything well is a truly big one, even if it only revolutionizes training. But, more important than that, entrepreneurs such as Wise hope that catering to their employees' and their companies' strengths as well as their own will make their work both more productive and more enjoyable at little cost.
"It's well worth it," Wise says. "No one brings everything to the table. This really helps us cut to the chase [and see] how an applicant or team member is wired."

It's been pouring the whole day, the climate only lulls you to snuggle under your bed-covers, or maybe just do some cozying up by reading a book with a nice cup of coffee to be by your side. I was not wanting to cook anything at all, but you gotto you know especially with my toddler around, who could be finicky with what he'd like for the day. This is a recipe I had bookmarked in my usual routine of blog hopping by Sig with a little of my variation too. And it only lead to me making everyone happy for dinner..:)
Long grain Basmati Rice - 1 1/2cups cooked and cooled
Sausages - 1/2cup diced
French Beans - 1/2cup cut into 1inch pieces
Shallots - 1/4cup thinly sliced
Light Soy Sauce - 2tbs
Ground Pepper and Salt to taste
Eggs - 1 fried per person
Spice Paste
Shallots- 2
Garlic - 5-6
Dried Red Chilly - 2
Galangal/Ginger - 1 inch
Grind the shallots, garlic, red chillies and ginger with a little water to form a smooth paste. Into a wok, add vegetable oil swirl the wok and when hot, add the sausages, fry till brown, remove and keep aside. Fry the shallots till crispy brown, remove and keep aside. Then add the beans, fry till done, remove and keep aside. Add the ground spice paste and sauté till the liquid is evaporated. Tip in the cooked rice and coat well with the spice paste. Then add the soya/ tamari sauce and pepper and mix the rice well. Then add the beans and sausages to the rice, cook on medium heat for another 3-4minutes and serve onto a plate. Then into the same wok, add oil enough to fry the egg, break an egg to get a nice crispy sunny side up, season with pepper and salt and carefully mount onto the rice.

Hello! I'm growing flowers for the first time. I know that veggie plants can be transplanted up to the cotyledons...are flowers the same? I ask because a few weeks ago I sowed a few cornflower seeds in a starter pot (i think its a bit early but the seeds were purchased in Europe and given to me recently, so i thought they might be acclimated to cooler temps...) The seedlings are tall and most of them bent over. Did they just not get enough light? Can I save them by planting them up to the cotyledons? Are only container grown flowers thinned? How is sowing directly into beds different? When a flower says perennial, does that mean that the plant will survive both brutal Florida summer heat and freezing temps and come back even if it looks dead? Should annuals and perennials be grown in separate beds? Many questions! Thanks for your time and input. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Sounds like the seedlings did indeed get stretched from not being "close" enough to the light source. Did you germinate them in a sunny window, under fluorescent lights, bulbs, etc? I'd recommend direct sowing of these, right into the garden where you want them to be. You can also plant a few seeds every couple of weeks, to get successive blooms. A lot of perennials are tough and can handle harsh conditions. I'm just not sure specifically if these can handle the *length* of heat we get. You can plant annuals and perennials in the same bed. It's a common practice; the annuals will provide fill and color where the perennials may not at that moment in the garden. Take note of growing cooler weather annuals in the fall/winter and early spring, and best ones for late spring/summer. With a healthy selection of foundation plants (the ones that don't get replaced as often, if at all) you can "fill in the gaps" to ensure season long interest. Try not to focus 100% on JUST flowers...think of varied foliage, fall colors, seed-heads that provide additional ornamental value, and your choices will be just about unlimited in how creative you can get, mixing and matching. Have fun and good luck :) |

Sounds like what happened to me. I had two flats of flower seeds planted for my daughter's butterfly garden (and for other areas around my yard). One flat was 1/2 milkweed and 1/2 tropical salvia. The other flat was full of 'Pina Colada' Penstemon. Being a complete newbie, I only had one CFL bulb providing light. The flat closest to the light was the one with the milkweed and salvia while the penstemon was, logically, further away. I lost the entire flat of penstemon and was starting to lose the salvia. When I noticed the salvia was showing the same 'falling over' symptoms as the penstemon, I just took the entire flat outside and let it sit in my lanai where the flat got early morning sun and late afternoon sun, but was protected during the rest of the day. I still ended up losing a few of the salvia that simply were beyond recovery, but I was able to save the rest. So now I know, or at least assume, that the single CFL bulb just is not going to cut it. I have since looked up plans for building a grow-light hood using 4-6 CFL bulbs and a reflective dryer tube. As of today, all the remaining sprouts are growing in their own pots out in my lanai or on the east side of my house and are getting stronger and bigger by the day. As for whether or not you can 'mound' soil up the stem, I guess, like in most cases, it depends on the species. I tried it with two of the milkweed and two of the salvia. The two salvia wilted and died while the milkweed is still growing. Best of luck on your endeavors. |
One of those 4 bulb array lights that you would put over a bathroom mirror cost about $15 at the Home Depot. They also have 6 and 8 bulb versions too. Screw in those CFL's into that and you've got yourself a great, cheap grow lighting setup. You'd have to wire it to a plug, but still, it's very cheap and works great. :) Also once seeds have sprouted, take off humidity domes. They don't need the extra humidity once sprouted. It does keep the soil more moist, but can lead to damping off, where the little baby stem at the soil line will rot and the seedlings fall over. |

Bought this at a grocery store as a "decorative" pumpkin along with a jarrahdale. I just now finished making the last pies out of the jarr, so its getting near time to chop this one up as well.
I am wondering just what exactly it is though. Has anyone seen this before that could ID it for me off the top of their heads? I'm planning on saving seeds from it, see if they'll grow true or not this year. |

Fourteen down, three to go. We again had extensive coverage from Sunday, but that's not everything we have to say. Here are 22 extra thoughts from Sunday…
1. Green Bay is emerging as an overwhelming favorite. As the Pack pounded the Raiders to move to 13-0, everyone within their range was struggling. San Francisco, the league's only two-loss team coming into Week 14, fell to Arizona. New England and Houston (three losses each) barely survived in Washington and Cincinnati. We saw the trouble Pittsburgh had Thursday night. The Saints had to fight tooth and nail in Tennessee. Now that they've virtually wrapped up the top seed, Green Bay can play smart and conservative football and avoid injuries while everyone else risks life and limb in the playoff shuffle.
2. That's assuming Greg Jennings is okay. Don't get me wrong, they're a heavy fave with or without Jennings, but not having him in January would be a huge loss for the Packers. The good news is that they don't play another meaningful game for five weeks (and they can probably win in the divisional playoffs without Jennings).
3. Giants-Cowboys always feels the same. Sixty-plus points. Neither team has much of an edge. Both make a slew of seemingly fatal mistakes. Myriad lead changes. The last possessor almost always comes out victorious. And you often walk away feeling worse about both teams. Just another day in the NFC East.
4. The Giants could play their next four games at MetLife. They finish the season at home (technically they're the away team against the Jets in Week 16, but they share a stadium), and now control their playoff destiny, which means there's a good chance they'll be at home to start the playoffs on the second weekend of January. They aren't consistent or reliable on either side of the ball, but with playmakers like Eli Manning and Jason Pierre-Paul, they might make something out of a season that seemed destined to fail based on the injuries they suffered in August and September. If so, the turning point was Sunday night, with that dramatic fourth-quarter comeback in Dallas.
5. That could be it for Dallas. No DeMarco Murray hurts, but isn't a killer because Felix Jones is more than capable. That said, they just don't look like an elite team and Tony Romo continues to lack consistency in terms of his carelessness. With Miles Austin, Dez Bryant and Laurent Robinson all getting healthier, anything can happen, but the last two weeks have revealed that the Cowboys aren't in the same league as Green Bay and New Orleans. I think they might have to win out to make the playoffs, and I can't see that happening.
6. I have nothing to add in regard to the Tom Brady-Bill O'Brien tiff. It happened and they moved on. It's over. I don't think we're comprehending how often these things happen. Was it mildly interesting? Sure. But there's nothing more to it and it shouldn't become a hot topic. But because it involves Brady and the Patriots, we'll hear about it far too often this week. So will Bill Belichick.
7. How many will Rob Gronkowski finish with? He now has a single-season tight end record with 15 touchdowns, and he's just three scores short of the third-highest total in NFL history (Sterling Sharpe and Mark Clayton each had 18). He won't reach Randy Moss (23) or Jerry Rice (22), but he's scored at least twice in four of his last five games so there's a good chance Gronk ends up with 20. Plus, he has a rushing touchdown that came on a lateral last week. Pretty amazing for a 22-year-old sophomore.
8. The Patriots aren't turning it around defensively like they did at this point last season. What's wrong with Devin McCourty? You can't give up that many yards to a terribly depleted Redskins offense.
9. Tough loss for the Jets: Jim Leonhard out for the year with a knee injury. Leonhard's an integral part of that defense, but the Jets survived without him to make the AFC championship game last year.
10. Did the 49ers peak too early? Two losses in three games. I understand the dud in Baltimore, and Arizona has been playing well, but that's rough. Alex Smith doesn't look like a playoff quarterback and the defense is suddenly giving up big plays. Now they have tough games with Pittsburgh (at home) and Seattle (on the road). They're losing momentum, and there's a good chance they lose that first-round bye to New Orleans.
11. Jake Locker or Matt Hasselbeck? So long as Tennessee's in the playoff race and Hasselbeck's healthy, it'll be him. But it wouldn't surprise me if some Titans were quietly hoping that Hasselbeck sat out the final three regular-season games, because Locker has shown some nice flashes in limited playing time this season. He was especially good in crunch time against the Saints.
12. Joe Webb or Christian Ponder? I realize that the Vikings won't be prepared to admit that Ponder was a mistake first-round pick this early, especially considering that he hasn't been too bad as a rookie. That said, you could argue that they never gave Webb a fair chance, and he looked solid Sunday in relief of Ponder. This could develop into a quarterback competition before long, because quarterback leashes are that short nowadays. Besides, the financial investment Minnesota made in Ponder wasn't monumental enough that making a change and trading him down the line would be an overly difficult thing to do.
13. I'm worried about the Saints on grass outdoors. They weren't themselves in Nashville, on either side of the ball. Last time they played under those circumstances, they lost 26-20 in Tampa. They won't have to deal with that again during the regular season, but if they keep winning there's a good chance they'll find themselves on the road, in the elements and on grass again in late January…in Green Bay.
14. Can the Texans really pull this off with T.J. Yates? Flying under the radar, the rookie is 2-0 with two comeback victories since taking over for Matt Schaub/Leinart. He's limiting mistakes (two turnovers in two games) and has a higher passer rating than Cam Newton and Andy Dalton. Sunday's performance came without Andre Johnson, on the road, against a top-10 defense. And he showed remarkable poise with the game on the line, throwing the winning score with two seconds remaining. With remaining games against Carolina, Indy and Tennessee, he might be able to help Houston land the AFC's top seed. But can he beat teams like New England, Baltimore or Pittsburgh in January? With that defense and that running game, maybe.
15. Both completely healthy, the Texans are still better than the Colts. In other words: Regardless of who's quarterbacking the Colts next September, Houston should enter the 2012 season as the favorite to win the AFC South. It's a shame that some might try to chalk up the Texans' first-ever division crown as a result of the absence of Peyton Manning in Indianapolis.
16. The Vikings are one of the best 2-11 teams ever. Maybe the best. Terrible compliment, I know, but Minnesota is so much better than 2-11. They almost always put up a fight. Crazy: the Vikes had 29 first downs in Detroit. The Lions had just 13.
17. The single-season sack record is under attack again. Jared Allen and DeMarcus Ware were both on pace to break it during the first half of the year, but they faded in November. Allen broke free, though, with three sacks against the Lions Sunday. Now, he's just five sacks back of Michael Strahan's single-season mark of 22.5. He's on pace to finish with 21.5, but the remaining schedule might give him a shot at the record. He faces the Saints, the Redskins (who will be without regular starting left tackle Trent Williams) and the Bears (who have given up five sacks per game since Caleb Hanie took over). My guess? Allen ends up with 22, falling just a half-sack short.
18. How crucial is Jake Long to the Dolphins' offense? With Long hurt for much of Sunday's game, Miami gave up nine sacks to the Eagles. Oh, and Matt Moore got hurt.
19. A sign that you're not a playoff-worthy team. Third-down conversions Sunday for Tennessee and Chicago, combined: 3-for-25.
20. A sign that Tim Tebow is progressing as a passer. His completions per game dating back to Week 10: 2, 9, 9, 10, 21. Also nice to see him win despite getting little support from the running game.
21. Amazing: In their seven wins with Tebow at quarterback, the Broncos have been outscored 89-75 in the first three quarters. Problem is, they still haven't played any really good teams. Combined record of the seven teams they've beaten since Tebow took over: 39-52. This week: 10-3 New England at home. Biggest test yet.
22. Naturally, John Skelton, T.J. Yates and Tim Tebow are now a combined 13-2 this season. That's a bit of a lie because Kevin Kolb technically gets the win for starting and throwing one pass in Arizona today, but Skelton deserves the credit, obviously. All they do is win.
23. Santa photographer!

Top Products To Keep Skin Healthy During The Summer
Posted for Age SpotsAnti AgingBeautyMoisturizersnatural skin careparaben free skin careSkin CareSunscreen On July 4, 2013
The heat is on. And when temperatures rise outdoors, skin becomes easily dehydrated. And when moisture gets zapped, skin begins to look dry, wrinkly and dull looking. Skin Care Heaven, an e-commerce store and skin care research center based in Carlsbad have cast their votes in on their top products for summer vacation skin survival. "When people think summer vacation, beach, or poolside time we often just think sunscreen," said Skin Care Heaven's spokesperson. "But there are so many factors which go into keeping our skin luminous and young looking all season long." *DermaEarth Natural Anti-Aging Starter Skin Care Set: DermaEarth's Peptidal Activating Serum, EnLighten Cell Brightening Serum, and SugarBerry Skin Resurfacing Cleanser are a great anti-aging shield. This natural skin care starter set helps get rid of sun spots, uneven pigmentation, fines lines, wrinkles and crows feet. It also helps prevent future premature skin aging. *Obagi Hydrate: The natural ingredient, Hydromanil, is the secret behind this moisturizer along with shea and mango butter. *Avene Thermal Spring Water: A European answer to boost facial moisture. It soothes, softens, calms, all skin care types and needs. *Crystal Peel Microdermabrasion Exfoliating Soap Body Bar: Buffs away dull skin and clinically proven to help with stretch marks and cellulite *Pure Fiji Body Butters and Lotions: Top of the line body moisturizing products that revive dry skin with select and aromatic ingredients such as exotic nuts, passion flower and soy protein. *Mum + Bub Body Lotions and Ointments: For adults, children and babies, this gentle product line adds moisture to the body while repairing the skin with Australian pawpaw fruit and a light dose of vanilla. *EltaMD Skincare UV CLEAR SPF 46: a light broad spectrum sunscreen great for sensitive and acne-prone skin.

The Nu-Derm system is available for dry, normal and oily skin. It also addresses the following skin care challenges: • Age spots And this particular system has all its anti-aging goals covered by providing users with: • Foaming Gel Cleanser to clean the skin With all these steps, a more youthful beauty is attainable regardless of age or skin type.

Tabor College Hosting NAIA Baseball Tournament
April 22, 2014
Categories: General News
Tabor College has been selected as one of nine colleges/conferences to host the sixth annual National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Baseball National Championship Opening Round tournament. The tournament will be held at Hobart-Detter Field in Hutchinson, Kan., during the week of May 12-15.
This will be the second time since 2012 that Tabor College has hosted an Opening Round tournament.
"We are excited to again be hosting a NAIA opening-round baseball tournament," said Rusty Allen, vice president of intercollegiate athletics at Tabor College. "Our team has had another outstanding season. Our baseball team, being ranked as high as number 10 in the nation, has secured this opportunity for us."
There are eight other colleges/conferences hosting the other Opening Round tournaments; Appalachian Athletic Conference in Kingsport, Tenn., Belhaven University (Miss.) in Jackson, Miss., Crossroads League in Marion, Ind., Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (Fla.) in Daytona Beach, Fla., Faulkner University (Ala.) in Montgomery, Ala., Georgia Gwinnett College in Lawrenceville Ga., Oklahoma Baptist University in Shawnee, Okla., and The Master's College (Calif.) in Santa Clarita, Calif.
The 45 qualifying teams and the nine brackets will be released by the NAIA on May 9. Every team will compete in a double elimination tournament, with the nine winners of each Opening Round advancing to the 2014 Avista-NAIA Baseball World Series at Harris Field in Lewiston, Idaho May 23-30.
Currently the Tabor College baseball team is ranked 14th in the NAIA Baseball Coaches' Top 25 Poll with a 39-10 overall record and a 20-4 record in the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference (KCAC).
"It is a blessing to watch our players and coaches perform at such a high level," Allen added. "We look forward to competing for the right to play in the NAIA College World Series in Idaho."
Holly Leiker, sales manager for the Greater Hutchinson Convention/Visitors Bureau, said that the community is thrilled have baseball fans and the Tabor College baseball team coming to compete in Hutchinson.
"Hobart-Detter is a great baseball facility and we are excited that Tabor College has chosen Hutchinson as the host site," Leiker said. "The NAIA and KCAC are great organizations to work with and we are looking forward to having the players, coaches and fans in town for the tournament."

Increased levels of misfolded polypeptides in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) triggers the dissociation of glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) from the three transmembrane ER-stress mediators, i.e., protein kinase RNA-like ER kinase (PERK), activating transcription factor-6 (ATF6), and inositol-requiring enzyme 1alpha, which results in the adaptive unfolded protein response (UPR). In the present studies, we determined that histone deacetylase-6 (HDAC6) binds and deacetylates GRP78. Following treatment with the pan-histone deacetylase inhibitor panobinostat (Novartis Pharmaceuticals), or knockdown of HDAC6 by short hairpin RNA, GRP78 is acetylated in 11 lysine residues, which dissociates GRP78 from PERK. This is associated with the activation of a lethal UPR in human breast cancer cells. Coimmunoprecipitation studies showed that binding of HDAC6 to GRP78 requires the second catalytic and COOH-terminal BUZ domains of HDAC6. Treatment with panobinostat increased the levels of phosphorylated-eukaryotic translation initiation factor (p-eIF2alpha), ATF4, and CAAT/enhancer binding protein homologous protein (CHOP). Panobinostat treatment also increased the proapoptotic BIK, BIM, BAX, and BAK levels, as well as increased the activity of caspase-7. Knockdown of GRP78 sensitized MCF-7 cells to bortezomib and panobinostat-induced UPR and cell death. These findings indicate that enforced acetylation and decreased binding of GRP78 to PERK is mechanistically linked to panobinostat-induced UPR and cell death of breast cancer cells. Mol Cancer Ther; 9(4); 942-52. (c)2010 AACR.

Just ordered a Smoke Hollow trimate gas/charcoal/smoker and should have it shortly. It comes with a firebox on the side of the charcoal grill- can someone explain to me exactly what a firebox does? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by purpleinopp (My Page) on Mon, Apr 2, 12 at 17:27
That's used for smoking, where you would have the fire and coals in the side box only. The heat and smoke cook indirectly. It's also useful for long-term grilling if you need to have hot coals for a long time. You can keep putting fresh materials in the box to make more coals to move into the grill. The owners' manual should give you some ideas to get you started. |

So I could smoke a turkey using only the firebox? Thanks for your reply "purpleinopp". |
