text: Tuberculosis: Tips and precautionsTuesday, April 13, 2010 Have you thought of a disease that could get you coughing blood as well as predispose you to other ill health? One is tuberculosis and it continues to be a major health problem worldwide. In 2008, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that one-third of the global population was infected with TB bacteria with the African continent taking a greater proportion of it. Tuberculosis is a chronic infection caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis (and occasionally other variants of Mycobacterium). It usually involves the lungs, but other organs of the body can also be involved. Tuberculosis, often called "TB," is a chronic bacterial infection that can develop after you inhale droplets sprayed into the air (as from a cough or sneeze) by someone infected. This disease has been present from time immemorial and, although its incidence has greatly decreased, it continues to remain a health problem particularly for infants and the very elderly. How do you know that a person has TB? Only about 10 per cent of those infected with TB develop the disease. You may not notice any symptoms of illness until the disease is quite advanced. The first symptoms of an active case of TB may be so commonplace that they are often dismissed as the effects of a cold or flu. The individual may get tired easily, lose appetite, lose weight, lose energy, experience night sweats, feel slightly feverish or cough frequently that may produce bloody sputum. It usually goes away by itself, but about in about half the cases, it will return. For people who have the disease, TB mostly affects the lungs, lymph nodes, genitourinary tract, gastrointestinal tract, bones, joints, the brain and almost all aspects of the body via the blood. In severe cases, there is pleurisy (a sharp pain in the chest when breathing deeply or coughing) or the spitting up of blood. Neither of these symptoms is solely of tuberculosis, but they should not be ignored. TB complications are very serious and shouldn't be ignored. Risk factors for TB include the following: HIV infection, low socioeconomic status - malnutrition, poor environmental sanitation, alcoholism, crowded and unventilated living conditions "diseases that weaken immune system like AIDS; increasing age" old age; migration from a country with a high number of cases and healthcare workers. Modes of Spread TB is caused by a germ that is transmitted from person to person by airborne droplets. Usually this infection is passed on as a result of very close contact, so family members of an infected person are endangered if the person continues to live in the same household and has not undergone proper treatment. (The family should take the precaution of seeing a doctor and getting tested.) If an individual with active TB coughs or sneezes without covering the mouth and nose, droplets containing the tuberculosis germs are sprayed into the air and may be inhaled by anyone near the person. A tissue should always be used to cover the nose and mouth when coughing, sneezing or spitting, and hands should be washed promptly without exemption. Your risk of contracting the disease varies directly with the frequency of your contacts with people who have TB. Good ventilation and exposure to sunlight decrease the risk of exposure. If you are exposed to the TB bacterium, the organism may gain entry to your lungs. Often, you are not aware of this exposure in that there are very few, if any, immediate symptoms. The spread of disease generally is limited or contained by your lymph nodes. You might be infected with TB and in some cases the TB disease may or can develop within weeks, months and even years after the initial exposure. Prevention from acquiring TB In general, TB is preventable. From a public health standpoint, the best way to control TB is to diagnose and treat people with TB infection before they develop active disease and to take careful precautions with people hospitalized with TB. Preventive measures include strict standards for ventilation, air filtration, and isolation methods in hospitals, medical and dental offices, nursing homes, and prisons. If someone is believed to have been in contact with another person who has TB, preventive antibiotic treatment may have to be given. General measures such as avoidance of overcrowded and unsanitary conditions are also necessary aspects of prevention. There are also measures one can take and help protect ourselves and others: * Keeping the immune system healthy. Eat plenty of healthy foods including fruits and vegetables; get enough sleep, and exercise at least 30 minutes a day most days of the week to keep your immune system in top form. *Get tested regularly. Experts advise people who have a high risk of TB to get a skin test once a year. This includes people with HIV or other conditions that weaken the immune system, people who live or work in a prison or nursing home, healthcare workers, people from countries with high rates of TB, and others in high-risk groups. * Consider preventive therapy. If you test positive for latent TB infection, your doctor will likely advise you to take medications to reduce your risk of developing active TB. * Vaccination: This is one major preventive measure against TB. A vaccine called BCG does help strengthen the immune system. BCG is particularly effective in children. Discuss BCG vaccination with a doctor and ensure to be vaccinated if there is a need for it. * Finish your entire course of medication. This is the most important step you can take to protect yourself and others from TB. When you stop treatment early or skip doses, TB bacteria have a chance to develop mutations that allow them to survive the most potent TB drugs. The resulting drug-resistant strains are much more deadly and difficult to treat. * Report to hospital: If a member of the family or somebody close to you is diagnosed as having active TB, then it is very important to get your family and yourself tested. The earlier it is detected, the better and faster the treatment. The dangerous contact time is before treatment. However, once treatment with drugs starts, the sick person is non-contagious within a few weeks. To help keep your family and friends from getting ill if you have active TB: * Stay at home. Avoid going to work or school or sleep in a room with other people during the first few weeks of treatment for active TB. Doctors should be able to issue a sick leave for a certain duration if you work (these are the periods that TB is contagious). * Ensure adequate ventilation. Open the windows whenever possible to let in fresh air. Avoid going in crowded places. Let there be enough ventilation. * Practise good hygiene: Wash you body regularly, brush your teeth, wear clean clothes and keep your environment tidy and clean. * Cover your mouth. It takes two to three weeks of treatment before you're no longer contagious. During that time, be sure to cover your mouth with a tissue any time you laugh, sneeze or cough. Put the dirty tissue in a bag, seal it and throw it away. Also, take adequate measures during the first three weeks of diagnosis and treatment as this will help lessen the risk of transmission, remember it is only you that specifically knows you have TB. After the active phase of TB, you can expect to keep your job, to go to school, to stay with your family, and to lead a normal life. However, you must take your medicine regularly to be sure of a cure and to prevent others from being infected. Diagnosis of Tuberculosis See a doctor if you don't feel well. Don't wait till your condition gets worse. Ensure that it is a doctor that diagnosed you as having TB because certain diseases like pneumonia, lung abscesses, tumors and fungal infections can look like TB. You are diagnosed as having TB after taking your health history, risk factors, your signs and symptoms, examinations and several tests that will be performed. Some tests that you may undergo are as follows: tuberculin skin-test for the first time, X-ray and laboratory test, eg sputum culture. The vast majority of people who have TB germs in their bodies do not have an active case of the disease. A positive reaction to the tuberculin test does not mean the person is ill or contagious to others. It means that the germs causing tuberculosis have been or are present in the body, and unless other symptoms are evident, the germs are probably not active. Their doctor may want to treat them to eliminate the germs so that a more serious case of active TB can be prevented. Undergoing Tuberculosis Treatment With treatment, your chance of full recovery is very good. Your medications must include several drugs to which the organisms are susceptible. You must take the medication on a regular basis and as prescribed. TB treatment takes long because the disease organisms grow very slowly and, unfortunately, also die very slowly, which is why doctors use multiple drugs to reduce the likelihood of resistant organisms emerging. Often the drugs will be changed or chosen based on the laboratory results. The most common cause of treatment failure is people's failure to comply with the medical regimen. This may lead to the re-emergence of drug-resistant organisms. You must take your medications as directed, even if you are feeling better. The most important way to keep from spreading TB is to take all your medicine, exactly as told by your doctor or nurse. You should also keep all of your clinic appointments! Your doctor or nurse needs to see how you are doing. You may need another chest X-ray or a test of the sputum you may cough up. These tests will show whether the medicine is working. They will also show whether you can still give TB bacteria to others. Be sure to tell the doctor about anything you think is wrong or you don't understand. If you develop any side effects from medications prescribed to treat tuberculosis such as itching, change in colour of skin, tiredness, or excessive fatigue, inform your doctor immediately. Conclusion TB is a deadly disease but fortunately it is largely a preventable disease. TB is spread through the air and can travel a long distance, so PLEASE avoiding public spitting, cover your mouth with a tissue any time you sneeze or cough without exemption. Throw the tissue in a waste bin not on the street. People cannot get infected with TB bacteria through handshakes, sitting on toilet seats, or sharing dishes and utensils with someone who has TB. The most important way to help yourself and avoid spreading TB is to take all your medicine and appointments, exactly as told by your doctor or nurse. Treatment takes a long time, and must not be stopped if the sufferer feels some improvement to prevent resistance which makes it more difficult to treat. Be patient! You will be free!

All these things can be used with KDE. And if you have kde in your use flags they will be optimized for use on KDE. I can't really recommend anything but gimp, kdraw sucks. Kopete I know is a gaim alternative yes but I've never used it. There's all the k applications like kwrite but imo nothing compares to open office. As for starting programs when you log in I'm not exactly sure. Lastly, I recommend feh as an image viewer, its text based but very handy.

BEST REASON TO ATTEND THE COLORADO SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL Denver 2006 - Sean Tarrant Twelfth Night
Somehow the Colorado Shakespeare Festival managed to transform this warmhearted, poetic comedy into a drearily uninspiring evening. The production had one saving grace: Sean Tarrant's Malvolio. Malvolio is a vain, mean-spirited buffoon who's convinced by a trick letter that the mistress of the household he serves loves him. Tarrant took us through every twist and turn of the character's thinking with inspiring clarity and precision. His reading of the letter was hilarious, but he also made us pity this Malvolio for the humiliation he suffered toward the play's end. Tall and thin, Tarrant seemed a bit too elegant for the role until he revealed a lithe, uninhibited zaniness worthy of John Cleese.

discgolfer99 Posts: 42I was just logging in to report...
If you are looking for or expecting "ROI" (Return On Investment) from this endevour, I wouldn't do it. The milage has improved 1 to 1.5 miles per gallon. That's maybe a savings of 1 gallon per tank (for me 1 tank per week), at about $3.25 per gallon, thats about $170 per year savings. It will take about 3 years to reach payback point. Actually, on second thought, that is not so bad, since I do plan on keeping it for at least 3 years.
I still would mention again how awesume it SOUNDS, and the increased HP is "very noticable". I am very pleased with the outcome.
I ordered a K&N Air Filter on Monday which I should get today. I'll see if that makes any noticable difference...
xtec Posts: 354Disc-Thanks for the report.If it will give me better performance and MPGs,it doesn't sound bad.I will do more thinking on it.I plan on keeping my Charger for 4yrs.I put A K&N on mine and I lost power and 2mpgs with it.I sent it back to K&N and put back my stock filter,and now its back to normal.On the stock filter it says high flow on it so I think it out performed the K&N.Maybe with the dual exhaust,
it will work better,you just have to wait and see what happens.Thanks -
xtec Posts: 354Disc- Thanks to you and losski the cat back has landed for me.I gave it some thought and went for it.It looks awesome
and sounds good.I paid $385+tax and my dealer installed it for $79.I thought it was a great deal so I didn't feel bad.
I noticed on top of the chrome tip it says Borla.Those are one of the best systems around.It also gave some specs for the system.It says there is a 10hp gain 6ft.lbs of torque
and 255cfm more exhaust flow.Thats pretty good.Borla wanted
849.99 for their exhaust so I say we made out nicely. -
discgolfer99 Posts: 42xtec, congrats on your move. I'm sure you will remain very pleased with your purchase. I still crack a smile when I step on the gas and hear the roar. You got a great price all the way around. I paid $425 for the unit, and just over a hundred for the install, although the dealer in my area wanted about $200 for the installation. Sounds like you have a reputable dealer.
Any other mods to your charger? I got the dual exhaust, tinted windows, K&N air filter, and I removed the "3.5L HO" symbols off the sides of the car. I got the K&N after the exhaust, and I did not notice any difference with it.
Charge On !! -
xtec Posts: 354Disc- I have the tinted windows ,alarm system,now the duals,and the one thing that made a big differance in looks is the SRT spoiler.Plus mine came with the 18inch R/T wheels.The dealer I go to has been very good to me and I
have been going there for about ten years.I got the exhaust price cheaper because I got the mechanics discount,And I convinced my service adviser to install the exhaust for 50hr rate.As I said before I tried the K&N and was not happy with it.It seem to kill my power and lost MPGs with the K&N. -
lflowers Posts: 155What's the deal on the Mopar cat back exhaust? Is it made for the Hemi engine? How much louder does it make the car?
I went by the muffler shop that put duals on my 300M yesterday to see what we could do to the Charger and found that they are out of business. I'd like the Charger to "talk" to me a little more, but I don't want to wake the neighbors if I leave early some morning.

2000rt1 Posts: 8I would recommend Zoomers Exhaust. Expensive but well worth it. They dont have the drone that most other catbacks have and have the perfect blend of sound. They also give a boost in horse power and a slight increase in MPG. Go to zoomersexhaust.com or read about zoomers versus Borla, Mopar and others at the Charger enthusiast site Chargerforums.com.
xtec Posts: 354I have the Mopar cat back on my SXT.It sounds great and it won't wake up your neighbors.The Mopar(Borla) exhaust gives you the closest to OEM .Borla has been working with Mopar for 28 years,so I would say they know Mopars the best.The
Mopar cat-back will give you 10 more horses and more MPGs.
My Mpg went up about 1.3 plus the extra power.There are some people on this forum with the mopar cat-back that are happy with their system.Good Luck -
discgolfer99 Posts: 42About 1.5 weeks ago, I purchased a Garmin Navigation system, model "Nuvi 660". It's an AWESOME Nav system. 4.3 inch screen, Bluetooth (for hands free phone), this, that, the other, etc.
For installation, I was not too keen on having it attached from the Windshield (illegal where I live (CA)), nor did I want it attached from the Dash itself. The first weekend, (Feb 24), I removed one of the Air Con outlets in the middle of the dash, the one closer to the driver. I then "plugged" the air outlet inside the dash, so no Air/heat would come out that vent. I installed the attachment arm inside the Air Con vent, so the Nav unit was just in front of where the air diverter was. I also wired in a new Cigarette Lighter receptical under the dash, and routed the power wire to this, so there was no cord on the outside. It wasn't bad, but even when I bought the unit, I had high hopes of installing it "IN-DASH". I am somewhat concerned about theft. This past weekend, I went for it. My neighbors must have thought I was CRAZY, as I had the center panel out of the car (the silver one that covers radio, air vents, air/heat controls. I had to use a dremel to cut away some of the molded plastic/rubber on the dash. The chips were flying everywhere, smell of burning rubber, etc. I had to cut and seperate the air con outlets, as they are a single unit for the two outlets. I could almost hear the "What the hell is he doing to his car"...
I can't believe how nice it turned out. It even exceeded my expectations. So now, instead of 2 air outlets in the center of the dash, there is a Nav system in the left one. I was sure I was going to have to install an external antenna, and possibly external microphone and speaker, but to my surprise, the system still gets FULL strength reception from the satellites. And even though the microphone on the front of the Nav unit is now covered by the dash, it still works just fine. People say they can't even tell I am on a speaker phone...
Can't wait to post some pictures. I may even go into business installing these things in Chargers/Magnums/300's... (LOL)
Anyone know how to post pictures here? -

discgolfer99 Posts: 42Thanks Karen, Thanks xtec....
I am very happy with how it turned out. There are some drawbacks. The unit is no longer "portable", and I will have to take it out if I want to update the software. but now that I know how, it would'nt take that long.
As for doing some side jobs, not sure if I want to risk cutting someone else's dash with a dremel. Then again... -
mychargersrt8 Posts: 2I just recently bought an 08 charger SRT8. I am thrilled with it but I have the performance bug! I added a K&N cold air intake system, Jet chip coming Monday, and I am putting on a magna flow exhust in two weeks. Is there any other addition
I can make that will increase my performance without costing me thousands more like the supercharger?

FreeBSD Boss: GPLv3 is Driving Linux Users to BSD
The FreeBSD Community should leverage GPLv3 to convince Linux users to use FreeBSD. It is a good time to push FreeBSD, says Justin Gibbs, founder and Vice President of the FreeBSD-Foundation.
In the FreeBSD Foundation's official August newsletter Justin Gibbs writes: "the GPLv3 is a critical concern for many current commercial users of OpenSource software." quoting legal restrictions that result from version 3 of the GNU General Public License (GPLv3). What GPLv3 intends to do is to rule out conflict with Digital Rights Management (DRM), the Tivo digital video recorder and patented software. According to the FreeBSD boss, these are exactly the things that are causing problems: "Some use models that were possible under "loopholes" in GPLv2 are now explicitly forbidden in GPLv3." says Gibbs. This leads to higher support costs for application vendors, and makes it more or less impossible to access specifications.
Gibbs sees this as the perfect time for the FreeBSD Community to put some facts straight, starting with the common misconception that Open Source and the GPL are more or less identical. He sees a considerable difference between the license philosophies promoted by the BSD Community and the FSF. "A GPL proponent might argue that a license for free software must be upgraded periodically since we cannot anticipate what new use models for free software might be developed that restrict freedom.", he writes, pointing to statements by GNU founder Richard Stallman. The BSD license in contrast to this: "The BSD license is as permissive as possible exactly because we cannot predict the future or to what beneficial purpose (commercial or otherwise) our software will be used."
Linspire boss Kevin Carmony used similar arguments to Gibbs when warning of possible GPLv3 side effects in an open letter. In line with this, Freespire was released with proprietary components by Carmony's successor.

I am looking to cut a lot of the high priced services we have. One place I am thinking of is our long distance phone service. Currently we have Verizon Triple Freedom. I'm thinking of going back to a phone calling card. Which one offers the best rates for calls within the US? Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't know much about calling cards, but if you have cell phones, do you really need a home phone? If there's an easy way to get ahold of you, there's no need to continue to pay for a land line or VOIP, plus unless you're calling out-of-country, there's generally no long distance charges. |
A lot depends on your calling patterns. The more minutes you buy, the cheaper it is. Onesuite has a following, CheapPhoneCards has a following and long time ago I used 10-10phonerates.com to find a dialaround that would be good for me, but after a while it changed rates so I went exclusively to a calling card. Been using a 500 minute one ever since and still have 150 min left. Although I do use my cell phone (prepaid, for best rates) for much of my long distance, since often I make LD calls on the road. |
- Posted by gitananoel (My Page) on Wed, Oct 15, 08 at 21:45
Try the phone card from costco. when you run out of minutes the card can be replenished over the phone for a minimum of five or ten dollars. the card does not expire. it is three cents a minute or less for national long distance. |
Be careful on the ones that claim they don't expire. Most now won't expire, technically, but many require you add minutes periodically to keep your balance. Read the fine print carefully. |
We have used the Costco phone card for years, just adding minutes to it when it was low. They just started this new pratice of a surcharge. "Express Recharge so you never run out of minutes. 15% fee applied to recharges." You can also use it with your cell phone. It is 700 minutes for $19.99, 02.86 cents per minute. You can buy them online or in the store. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Verizon 700 minute calling card
Somehow I'm missing something here. Why on earth would someone use a calling card with the cell phone and pay an additional charge??? "Per minute rates are in addition to your cellular airtime charges." Boy they come up with imaginative scams don't they?! |

Use coupon code: DIALEZ to get up to 100 free promotional minutes to call anywhere in the world from the U.S. when you sign up with EZ011.com dial-around phone service. Promotions apply only for Auto-recharge and Postpaid subscribers. (You can sign up as prepaid service and just like a regular calling card, it cuts your call off once it runs out of funds... but you get billed upfront and you don't get the free airtime promo.) According to ez011.com website: 'EZ011 is an advanced, yet easy-to-use dial-around phone service for your home as well as your wireless plan. Just dial the local access number provided and your registered phone number will automatically be recognized to call anywhere in the world.' Personally, I set up an account for my grandmother in Florida... she's happy with the service cause her local phone company Embarq has ridiculously expensive long-distance and international calling plans and she doesn't want to pay additional for broadband just to switch to a VOIP provider like Vonage. She only pays what she uses and I manage her account online with no extra equipment to install. By the way, Best Buy is selling a prepaid mobile phone (O2 Wireless) that includes prepaid international calls with no extra calling card needed. It only deducts the airtime you use... (the only catch is it has to be to landline phones and only works to some 50+ countries) check it out at http://www.o2wirelessservice.com/ |

Prepaid cell phones. My husband and I have about an $80 monthly phone bill cell bill. I am thinking about moving to pre paid cell phones. My husband rarely uses his phone. And don't use at lot as well.I am looking at verizon for better service. We need our land line. I could reduce our bill probably to $20 per month. What are the pros/cons. |

Back several years ago, I bought a long-distance calling card. Don't remember the brand, I think I got it at WMT. It was ten cents a minute no matter where you called (except maybe overseas, but we don't know anyone overseas so that wasn't a problem for us.). You just dialed the number on the back of the card and then at the prompt, the number you wanted to call. Then I called Southwestern Bell (it's AT&T now) and told them I wanted the long-distance feature taken off my land line. The guy I talked to assured me he'd done what I wanted and then when I got my bill I found out he'd added a lot of services I didn't ask for. It took me a long time to get that sorted out and corrected. Eventually, someone made a long-distance call on the land line without using the card, and the long-distance feature was automatically placed back on my bill. I've been paying $6 every month ever since, for just having (but not using) this feature. I just haven't had the resolve to go through all that again. You can buy those pre-paid Go-phones, but if you don't buy new minutes every month, what you have left from the current month expire and you lose them. Frankly, I found the Go-phones a royal pain. Plus, if you do the ten cents a minute plan, it doesn't cost you to call someone else who has a go-phone, but they charge you a dollar a day for every day that you place a call from your phone. It all gets very complicated and I just wish somebody would come up with something simple, no hidden surcharges. I have a cell phone that we use for emergencies (grandson carries it, mostly, when he's out and about, in case he has car trouble and needs us). It costs $10 a month and .25 a minute for every call. Plus there are surcharges. So if we don't use the phone at all in any given month it's actually about $12 a month. We had the $20 plan that came with 100 free minutes, but we found that we didn't use that many minutes a month. With the surcharges, the bill for that was $24. It's a Consumer Cellular product. DD uses Virgin Mobile and has about the same kind of plan that we do. You do have to watch your land phone bill, too, for surprises. Where I was working last, before I retired, I had to arrange with AT&T to get internet service through them. For that I had to have a copy of the last bill (which I didn't normally see) so I'd have the information I needed to give AT&T. I noticed, on the last page, a "yellow pages" charge of $25. No one at the office seemed to know what it was for. When I investigated, I discovered that someone had called our business a year earlier, had spoken to someone on the phone that had no business authorizing any transaction and had offered them free internet advertising. Turns out the advertising was on some obscure website; it was free for one month only and then you would incur charges for every month thereafter if you didn't instruct them to discontinue. Of course no one did. For a whole year. Longer if I hadn't noticed it. The person who authorized the transaction had no idea that she had done so. She just thought she was getting some free advertising for the non-profit organization. Seems there's a scam every minute. --Ilene |

How to Make Your Cat Love You
Cats need love and affection in order to live a healthy life style. So help your cat(s) get the life they deserve!
1Pay attention to your cat. It's hard to love someone when they pay no attention to you. Pet your cat often and show him or her that you care about them. But try not to pay too much attention to your cat because then they will find you annoying.Ad
2Try to keep your cat out of trouble. You want your cat to know that they are safe and protected. If they know this, they can love you better.
3On the subject of food, don't change your cat's food drastically or too often. When they do something good try to reward them with a treat.
4Don't leave your cat alone for long, or very often When you are going out put your cat outside or if it is toilet trained then you can leave your cat inside to a bit of peace and quiet . If you do have to leave, make sure your cat has enough food and to love and pet your cat when you come back. Make sure your cat knows you missed them.
5Cats are independent no matter what their personality. If he or she is not paying attention to you or decides it's done bathing and accepted being patted, and thinks the birds outside are more interesting at that present time, don't fret as they probably just need a breather.
- Just like any person, cats need their personal space too! Remember not to be on top of them all the time. Don't smother them; cats hate that.
6Brush your cat often. They have a lot of extra fur that can get all over everything. They also loved to be brushed. You could also try brushing their teeth. You can get special brushes and toothpaste from your vet. If you start off with your finger and then start with the brush. Taking care of your cat will determine the amount of love they give you.
7Don't pick them up a lot or chase them; let them come to you. Invite them onto your lap, but don't drag them.
8When the cat is all cozy and closes it eyes after looking directly at you, return its affection by petting and make soothing purring sounds.
9Keep the litter box clean or they will find somewhere else to go. Also, don't drastically change kitty's kind or brand of litter. Mix the two brands, slowly losing the old kind.
10Get down on the cat's level and let them come to you. Cats don't like to have to look up to see your face, the cat might not think it looks like you and will attack!
11Talk to your cat. This may sound insane. But after a while they will start understanding you. They love to know you care and when they hear your voice they know you care about them. After a while they will recognize different words.
12If your cat has done something right the first time you ask, offer a reward.
13Give your cat some space. It doesn't always want attention, if it's sleeping peacefully, don't disturb it, let it rest.
14When it's up, slowly walk forward and bend down to pick it up, cats like people when they're at the same level as them. It frightens them when they have to look up to see a scary giant! (not that we are scary, its our height that scares them).
15Sign to them. When you're sitting down and you want it come to you, start putting your hand caved above your legs, making sure you leave enough space for them to jump on your lap.
16Offer them a very small amount of milk. Most cats love milk. If the cat drinks too much milk, they can become sick. Most cats, like many people, are lactose intolerant. Milk often causes a cat to have diarrhea. You can now find lactose free milk in stores, specially made for cats.
17Play with them. Use a string or a toy to interact with them, make sure you interact as well or they won't have as much fun with you.
18If your cat nudges you it means he/she likes you.
19If there is more than one person in your house, try and be the person who feeds the cat. The cat will get used to this and come to you straight away if hungry or its time for dinner.
20Also feed your cat treats in your palm or your finger tips so they know that they can trust you.Ad
We could really use your help!
mousetrap cars?
t-shirt printing?
repairing couches?
- Scratch gently behind the cat's ears. They love that! They often will start purring.
- Play games with your cat. When it is young, start off with a piece of paper on a string that you can have your cat chase, and a box for it to hide in. As your bond gets better, try something more advance. For instance, when your cat is in a playful mood, go over and tap your cat then quickly walk away and hide behind something, making sure you are in view of the cat and it was watching you. Call it's name a few times. If your cat comes over, reward it by patting it then running away and looking at the cat again. After many times of doing this, your cat may eventually start tapping you back and running away, and officially playing hide-and-seek. Depends on how energetic and intelligent your cat is.
- Pet your cat as much as you can! But don't get too carried away, because cats like to be on their own sometimes and remember that they don't always like the way we smell (notice how they clean themselves after we pet them?). Give your cat a chance to become accustomed to your scent before you rub it all over their body and create resentment.
- Always treat your cat with care!
- Rub/scratch where they can't get too easily, but be careful of the claws and don't invade their personal space (No means no!).
- Try petting under the chin or at the base of the tail.
- Try to get as much time alone with your cat as possible. This will allow the cat to get used to you.
- Don't always bug him/her. Just always go to them when they are comfortable with the attention.
- Stroke your cat all over to find there spots they like most where they purr also play with them a lot so they know that you're their play mate. Also be sure you're the one to feed them and give them treats as this will show your care for them and then they will come to you to play, for food or for a good stroke.
- When you come home from a vacation give the cat as much love as possible that will make the little bit of trust that you took away from the vacation because they will come to you fast that will be good for them and they will go lay by you all night long and start purring.
- If a cat hisses or swipes at you don't try to continue affection. It will just make them angrier. Instead leave them alone for a while and try again when they are perhaps in a different location as their current one may be their private happy place.
- If you cat is mad at you, back off and let them cool down.
- Try not to over crowd your cat's special place to lay and sometimes eat.
- Always keep your cat healthy!
- Don't always take your cat to different places because you don't want to always change its environment a freaked out cat is not going to be very forgiving!
- Always get the right cat food otherwise your cat will get mixed up on what kind of cat food it's eating.
- You cat needs some space sometimes.
- Try not to touch your cat's hind legs because if you do, the cat may become irritated and kick you.
- If you lean in closer to your cat be careful, it has sharp nails and may not be in the mood!
- If your cat or kitten seems like its getting mad back off then leave it alone.
- Don't force your cat to do something it doesn't want to do, as this may make your cat dislike you! If it is not in the mood, try later.
- These things take time. Don't rush them, and don't force your cat to like you.
- Each cat is unique, so don't be surprised if some of your cat's characteristics disagree with this article.
- Never grab or pull your cats tail, they hate that.
- Sometimes cats hate to be picked up, so don't pick them up if they don't want it.
- Some cats bite and scratch people because they are hurt or frightened.
- Don't try too hard.
- One thing they don't like is when they are pulled out from under the bed, so make sure that you don't do that if it trusts you already. Cat lovers need to that because if you pull him out it takes his trust for you trust away.
- Try not to touch the ears, mouth, tail, whiskers, and legs.

Promotion of human rights in Latin America
Favela in Rio der Janeiro
© dpa / picture-alliance
The German Government regards respect for and protection of human rights as an obligation and as a central element of its foreign policy. A common commitment to universal and indivisible human rights links Germany with its partners in Latin America. However, a number of challenges in this sphere remain in some Latin American countries. The German Government is therefore working to improve the human rights situation in this region, both in its bilateral relations and in the multilateral framework.
Some countries in Latin America are faced with tasks of varying magnitude for which the German Government can lend its support. Championing human rights also featured prominently in the German Government's strategy on Latin America and the Caribbean. The German Government is supporting Latin American countries in their efforts to combat impunity, initiate judicial reform, guarantee freedom of the press and of expression, combat child labour and prostitution, foster the non-discrimination of minorities and strengthen the economic and social rights of disadvantaged population groups.
By voting in favour of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, the German Government demonstrated its determination to support the implementation of the Declaration.
In the process of implementing its strategy on Latin America and the Caribbean, a regional conference for Latin American human rights defenders was convened in Argentina in spring 2011. The annual award of the Franco-German Antonio Nariño human rights prize is also in keeping with the policy of consolidating and strengthening shared values outlined in the strategy. In 2011, it went to the Colombian women's group Tejedores de vida (weavers of life), which campaigns against all forms of violence.
European-Latin American cooperation
The far-reaching political consensus which Germany and its partners in the EU have with most Latin American countries on human rights issues has led to the steady expansion of cooperation between the EU and the Latin American and Caribbean Group (GRULAC) in international fora within the United Nations. The Latin American and Caribbean Group is a key partner for the German Government and its EU partners in consolidating and further developing human rights standards. Resolutions vis-à-vis which the two groups largely have common interests include those on the rights of the child and on countering religious intolerance.
Promoting human rights projects
School project on human rights in Rio
The German Government is conducting an active dialogue with civil society in Latin American countries – in particular with NGOs, which have assumed a key role as partners in projects. In 2011 alone, the Federal Foreign Office made available more than 470,000 euros for the financing of human rights projects in Latin America.
Between 4600 and 118,000 euros have been made available for a total of 10 projects in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico. These projects deal, among others, with the following themes:
- promoting women's rights
- promoting democratic institutions
- strengthening the human rights dialogue and human rights training courses for state security forces; protecting human rights defenders
- protecting migrants in border areas
- investigating human rights violations
- implementing penal reforms

Original Penguin Launches A Women's Line (It's Really Cute)
Original Penguin, the American label established in 1955, just showed its first contemporary women's collection. The line's got a cute, midcentury feel and filled with all of the things we want to wear everyday: Collared dresses, mint green, bright florals, stripes...I can keep going! As far as taking the preppy-1950s-playful-boyish look and making it modern—they nailed it.
Since I must give props where props are due: The perfect styling was done by my personal style inspiration, the lovely Miss Michelle Reneau. And the set design, which very much added to the fun feel of this presentation, was by Blow Up! girls Kristin Eddington and Claire Roudabush. The collection is set to launch at the end of August. Take a look at every single piece right here:

Philadelphia, Here I Come
Philadelphia, Here I Come never loses its power. Particular when a revival features a cast working as fluidly and organically as that assembled by the Donmar.
Paul Reid (Gar in Public) and Rory Keenan (Gar in Private) in Philadelphia, Here I Come at the Donmar Warehouse, London Photo: Johan Persson
Friel's narrative conceit of having Gar's subconscious as some sort of blarney Greek chorus, saying the things that remain unsaid, remains such a powerful tool particularly when emphasised by the stiff silence of other characters, his father especially.
The pain of unspoken love between Gar and his father, SB O'Donnell (even his name is deeply impersonal) bleeds into the small auditorium - it is almost unbearable at points.
Paul Reid, as Gar in Public, and a brilliant characterisation by Rory Keenan as Gar in Private, perfectly synchronise their performances - emotionally as well as physically. Valerie Lilley's Madge is an all-seeing keeper of the family and its secrets.
But this is such a strong ensemble that to pick out a few performances would be to do it an injustice. All are good.
Lyndsey Turner finds even more humour and poignancy in the script than that created by Friel. She allows the emotion of the performances to energise the production rather than over-power it. The scene in which Gar remembers his mother wraps the audience in its arms. And the evocation of the shattering of Gar's happiest memory of his father, is gripping - Rob Howell's set and Tim Lutkin's lighting becoming a powerful narrative aid.
A great production.

Flash of Steel is a blog that focuses on strategy and wargames – issues of design, marketing, media, but mostly what I think when I bother to put two thoughts together. Occasionally I'll move out of that area for a post or two, but if someone asks you what Flash of Steel is, say it is a blog about strategy games. Two or three posts a year about something else won't change that.
From 2000 to 2011, I wrote about games for a number of websites, both for money and on a volunteer basis, focusing on the strategy and wargame worlds. There's really too much to list. A portfolio of my stuff is linked up top. I update it irregularly, and it only includes stuff I was paid for.
2009 saw the launch of Three Moves Ahead, a podcast about strategy and wargames. It remains the best thing I've ever done professionally. In 2012, Three Moves Ahead joined the Idle Thumbs Podcast Network.
I currently work in videogame PR rep for Evolve PR. My tasks change regularly, and I am learning a lot of new things. Any post that references a game that Evolve represents will link to a disclaimer that reminds all of you that people are paying me to help sell things. I am professionally constrained in what I can and cannot say.
Though I will occasionally have guest contributors, 99% of the content on the site is authored by me alone. I'm not responsible for how the blog looks.
The main banner up top and the logo for our official podcast, Three Moves Ahead, were designed by Jennifer Sparks. The WordPress theme is Cutline modified and customized by Jenn Cutter. You can follow my Twitter feed if you like, though it's not very interesting.
Why "flash of steel"? The phrase itself comes from Sikh Guru Gobind Singh who writes:
When all efforts to restore peace
Prove useless and no words avail
Lawful is the flash of steel then
And right it is the sword to hail.
A reasonable philosophy I think. And since most strategy and war games assume that words will be to little avail (or have already proven useless), the steel flashes quite a bit, be it the steel of a sword or a bayonet or a grenade launcher.

Jan 22, 2013 5:54 PM by Marnee Banks (Helena)
HELENA - The leaders of the Montana University System are asking the state Legislature for enough funding to be able to freeze tuition for another two years.
Montana State University president Waded Cruzado and University of Montana president Royce Engstrom are both presenting their budget requests to the education subcommittee this week.
They hope they can secure enough funding so the universities can keep tuition flat.
Commissioner of Higher Education Clayton Christian is asking lawmakers to also fund inflationary increases and pass pay raises for university employees.
"We need to make sure we convey to you all over the next few days the importance and the relevance of education. And ultimately what it means to have an affordable, and that's a key word, affordable, strong higher education system in the state, both for the citizens that participate in it and their families," Christian told lawmakers.
He added, "The truth is that Montana has been very prudent and we have resisted tuition increases better than anyone in the country, and that's something we are very proud of. We hope we are earning the trust of this committee to know that if you can find a way to help fund us, we will be prudent with those dollars and we will make sure that Montana families don't have to pay more in tuition."
However, for lawmakers the decision comes down to dollars, and Republicans on the Education Budget Committee reminded university leaders that money from coal, oil, and gas help fund the university system.
MT State Senator Llew Jones (R-Conrad) said, "Obviously we have to balance the investment with the taxpayers' ability to pay. We have to have a concept of what the underlying economy is that does pay for it.
MT State Representative Roy Hollandsworth (R-Brady) said, "I guess what I'm saying to the education community is that you have to help us lead the fight to protect the natural resources that's going on.
Over the next week lawmakers will go through the university budget line by line in order to send a comprehensive package to the floor for a vote.
The education budget subcommittee will draft a budget and send it to the full Legislature for a full vote.

Created: 01/30/2014 6:27 PM
By: Lauren Hansard, KOB Eyewitness News 4
A special bond is growing between the students of Berrendo Middle School in Roswell and Arapahoe High School in Colorado.
Both schools were the scenes of shootings.
The Colorado kids visited Roswell last weekend.
And as KOB Eyewitness News 4 found, they also left something behind.
The Arapahoe students made the Berrendo students 100 blankets, and they're already working on more.
Bags and bags of blankets, no two are the same.
Arapahoe students are making one blanket for every child at Berrendo.
"The theory behind the blanket is when you wrap it around yourself like a shawl, it's like a hug. These are like the arms being wrapped around you," said Natasha Mackey.
Mackey is a Roswell mom who helped get the two groups together.
"You know when you're having one of those moments where you're experiencing the tragedy all over again, you'll be able to go use that blanket," said Mackey.
The Arapahoe students also wrote 400 personal letters for the Roswell kids.
One reads, "From a warrior to a bulldog, I know that things are hard right now, push through it and I promise things will get better with time."
"She thought it was really nice of them doing something like that for them. That they really cared for them," said Kathy Vegara.
Vegara said her granddaughter is still getting messages.
"Yeah she's been texting them and getting pretty comfortable with them now and they're just making them feel a lot better," said Vegara.
And it's working.
The blankets and letters will be given to the school's parent-teacher organization.
From there the Superintendent tells KOB the gifts must be reviewed by the school board before they are distributed.
KOB welcomes a lively and courteous discussion as long as you follow the rules of conduct set forth in our Terms of Use. Comments are not pre-screened before they post. You agree that anything you post may be used, along with your name and profile picture, in accordance with our Privacy Policy and the license you have granted pursuant to our Terms of Use.

When I think of the American Dream, I don't just see images of white picket fences and fathers kissing their children before they leave for work.
I see an African-American mother of two dropping her children off at school and driving to her place of employment with the confidence that she'll have enough gas to get to work and enough food to cook dinner. I imagine a Latina mother able to save enough money to help her son go to the college of his choice regardless of the rising cost of tuition. I see an America where working 40 hours a week allows women of all backgrounds the opportunity to gain prosperity and success. But how can anyone achieve such a dream on $7.25 an hour? They can't.
We need to raise the minimum wage to at least $10.10 to help hardworking families who are struggling to scrape by. In tough economic times, there are few policies that could have as immediate, and as dramatic, of a boost for American workers, particularly for women of color. Keep reading »

It looks to be an early season with a good crop, according to New York state growers, and that's a relief after widespread damage from hurricanes and bad weather last year.
"We're starting out well," said Tim Richards, sales manager for Gill Corn Farms Inc., Hurley, N.Y. "We've had a few scary inclement weather episodes but nothing that's proved to be too bad, and we expect to have a nice crop of corn."
Richards remembers feeling positive last year as well.
"We had a really good start but were then cut short right at Labor Day with Hurricane Irene. That was the worst thing," Richards said. "We never picked all that corn we were supposed to pick."
Still, he's hopeful and positive about this year, as are other growers.
"We're starting out optimistic, like every other farmer, and just hoping we don't have another hurricane."
Jason Turek, partner at Turek Farms, King Ferry, N.Y., says we've gone from one extreme to the other with last year to this year as far as timing is concerned.
"Last year was about the latest we've had, and this year is one of the earliest, but it's still close to what we would call normal now," Turek said.
Turek did report some concerns after an early start to the season when exceptionally warm weather in March and April gave way to about 9 inches of snow on the first few hundred acres that were planted.
"The cabbage came through it OK, but the corn does have some weak spots in it," he said.
Still, he said he's optimistic about the season and that he expects a good crop.
Cabbage and other vegetables
Eric Hansen, vice president of Hansen Farms LLC, Stanley, N.Y., also reported some early damage because of the unexpected snowfall.
"We got a real early start but then got shut down for maybe three and a half weeks with wet and cold," Hansen said.
"Those early crops had a lot of stress so they'll be set back a little bit with a possible little gap in July after all that rain and snow. There were crops in the ground with snow on them," he said.
Still, he said what's in the field looks excellent and he expects a good season.
Dave Walczak, sales and operations manager for Eden, N.Y.-based Eden Valley Growers Inc., said everything seems to be on time if not early by about a week, with the quality looking well.
Maureen Torrey, vice president of Torrey Farms Inc., Elba, N.Y., also reports good quality in the field.

Andrew Murrison (Shadow Minister, Defence; Westbury, Conservative)
My hon. Friend knows that I have a particular interest in the village of Chitterne. I should be grateful if he added it to his list of villages likely to suffer from increased rat-running, particularly with the advent of satnav. On a more positive note, will he commend the Ordnance Survey, which will now inform those who make satnav instruments, for consulting with local government to determine preferred routes and freight routes? Does he agree that that cannot come soon enough? It will prevent vehicles from clogging up villages, often getting stuck down lanes where they have no business being.

Anyone have Beckoning? I bought it this year because of the Hosta Library photo and mine did not have the variegation once unfurled. Does it come later in the season? I would love photos. |

I've had mine in the garden for many years, it starts to colour up mid June, by mid July it is a show stopper. |

Sun and warm weather make all the difference with this plant. It has also been a very slow grower. It's actually one of my least favorites. |
I have high hopes for Beckoning. It colors up fairly early here, but it is slow. Mine is still one small eye after four years. |

I've long been interested in Hosta that change their characteristics through the season (see my rant on blue Hosta planted in lotsa sun). This particular one is on my faves list with regard to this, along with 'Cynthia', 'Rascal, 'Gold Regal', 'Janet', et. al. Just another wonderful variation of the interest of Genus Hosta! hh |

Interesting to see contrast in this bed change - top pic is in May with blue-green Beckoning in brighter green sea of Sweet Woodruff, as compared to now. Paul |
- Posted by moccasinlanding z9A AL (My Page) on Tue, Aug 14, 12 at 18:20
So you do not mean the blue looking plant in the background, but the one with only blue margins left....and then a grayish green leaf with a bit of makeup on the veins? Geez, that is a big difference. Also difference in the sweet woodruff. Neat. Pretty both ways. |

TRICHY: Now that the export of cargo from Trichy airport following the inauguration of the refurbished cargo terminal in November last year has improved drastically, the demand by courier firms for notifying Tiruchirappalli Airport for imports and exports has been stepped up. Interestingly, Sri Lankan Airlines has maintained its lead as the single largest exporter of cargo from Trichy. The carrier exported a total of 1,429 tonnes for the 2011-12 fiscal.
In the forefront of the demand was Seyyed, managing director of ABS Xpress Private Limited who has been fighting for the notification since 2009. He made several trips to North Block and met the revenue secretary in December, 2009. Seyyed was asked to give a formal letter of requisition in January 2010, which was later found to have been lost in June the same year. Trichy airport director S Dharmaraj told TOI that he had written thrice to the commissioner of customs in the last eight months, but there was no reply. "We are proactive, and we are always ready, provided the notification comes," Dharmaraj said, commenting on the delay in notification for courier cargo.
Interestingly, the Central Board of Excise and Customs faxed a letter on June 1, 2012, to the chief commissioners of customs (Preventive), Chennai zone, asking for "comments along with current status, with special emphasis on staffing position as courier operations would require round-the-clock" and send the same by return fax to the board in order that the issue be examined. Seyyed told TOI that he had learnt from his sources that no reply was sent so far. Moreover, the office of the commissioner of customs, Trichy, is vacant at the moment.

This song is part of a recurring post franchise called "Nowhere to Go," where Young Cedar highlights dance music that might get lost in needless genre categorization or your overflowing SoundCloud feed.
There are a lot of cliques across music right now, and while Jackson and His Computerband seems connected to his peers in the French dance music scene (evidence), he appears to mostly go it alone. When I asked him about this in an interview for Dazed, he said, "I'm in the middle. I'm not on a quest to be an outsider, but I'm also this French guy signed to Warp Records, so it puts me in a different place. At the same time, I spend a lot of time hanging out with those dudes."
Beforehand, he said, "I caught myself in the middle of those two generations of producers. I came across Daft Punk at the very beginning of their career…afterward came the next generation of the Ed Banger scene, which is only a bit younger. The Ed Banger mania took off the moment I went to live in Berlin, but later I became close to them and made friendships." His sound is a refreshing take on the past that he's inspired by mixed with the future shape of electronic music that he's become instrumental in defining.
His remix for "SOS In Bel Air" is over five minutes longer than the original song (which is 3:43), so basically, Jackson went in. It kind of comes out of nowhere, since Phoenix's Bankrupt! came out last April, but it shows exactly why Jackson (and His Computer Band) is so one-of-a-kind. He slows down the original song, emphasizing the lyrics "You can't cross the line / but you can't stop trying," and highlighting the despondence (yet eventual hopefulness) that gets lost in its original pace. For nine minutes and 28 seconds, the remix takes so many unexpected twists and turns, it feels like a movie (I thought it would end at three different points, once signaled by the lyrics, "Well I really need to go now"). That's where Jackson and so many of his dance music contemporaries succeed; they understand the power of visuals, whether it's Jackson's memorable bleached hair and jumpsuit getup or the cinematic quality of this song. What was once an SOS is now something you don't want to be saved from.

Theatre-Hikes portrays the wedding of Ferdinand and Miranda in "The Tempest." At Theatre-Hikes productions, audience members bring chairs or blankets to sit on, and are guided to the site of each scene. Performances last about two hours. | Photo provided
Updated: October 29, 2012 6:25AM
The great outdoors offers beautiful backdrops for a fall hike. As nice as that is, Theatre-Hikes can add to that experience.
Since 2001 Theatre-Hikes has been using the beautiful Morton Arboretum in Lisle, Ill., and other interesting venues throughout the Chicago area as sets for a wide range of family-friendly theatrical performances.
"We want to instill love of the outdoors, and combine it with a little exercise and an afternoon of entertainment for all ages. We say that we do very 'punny theater,' and 'plays that move you'," said Bradley Baker, artistic director of Theatre-Hikes.
At a Theatre-Hikes production, audience members bring chairs or blankets to sit on, and are guided by a hike leader to the site of each scene. Baker said that the hike at most performances is about two miles. The exceptions are performances on the first Sunday monthly at the arboretum, which are "low impact" hikes covering a very short distance, designed for those with wheelchairs, walkers or strollers, and in inclement weather when performances can be moved indoors.
"When you hike, you carry only the bare necessities. That's what we do with our productions. We look closely at the scripts and, in terms of props, pare down to only what's needed to tell the story. We have beautiful and unique settings, and each new space we move to has its own feel that contributes to that scene. And we invest in costumes. We have had fabulous designers who have come up with great costumes that portray the time and the setting," explained Baker.
Productions of Shakespeare's "The Tempest" and the play "The Werewolf's Curse or Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow" will wrap up Theatre-Hikes 2012 season.
"For our current production, 'The Tempest,' we've heard from parents that they were pleasantly surprised at how engaged their kids were with a Shakespeare play, and we've also gotten compliments from Shakespeare-lovers of how true to the spirit of Shakespeare our production was. It's quite a compliment to hear those comments from two very different types of audiences."
There are two more performances of "The Tempest" at the Morton Arboretum, at 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 29, and Sunday, Sept. 30. "The Werewolf's Curse or Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow" will run in October at 3 p.m. every Saturday and Sunday, and Monday, Oct. 8.
"It's always difficult to find a show for October. We want to be scary, but we produce at 3 in the afternoon in daylight, and we want a fun family product. 'Werewolf's Curse' achieves that. And for those who want it a little more scary, there's one evening performance in Blue Island."
The Blue Island performance is at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 19, at Central Park, 13000 S. Western Ave. Admission is free.
Tickets to Theatre-Hikes performances at the Morton Arboretum are $19 for adults and $13 for children ages 2 to 17, which includes arboretum admission ($12 adults, $9 youth) and parking. Arrive early to enjoy the fabulous fall colors at this 1,700-acre conservatory of trees from around the world. There are also various free fall events weekends in October including a scarecrow trail, complementary wine tasting and fall crafts. The Morton Arboretum is at 4100 Illinois 53 in Lisle, just west of Interstate 355 and north of Interstate 88.
Baker said that Theatre-Hikes is looking for additional venues for next season, and would like to find a partner location in Northwest Indiana. For more information, details on shows and a link to order tickets, visit www.theatre-hikes.org.

Dismemberment Plan to play Roots picnic; Christina Aguilera arrested; Bruise Cruise memories
- The year keeps getting better for local post-punk heroes Dismemberment Plan. After a very sold-out reunion tour, the Plan will play one of its highest profile gigs ever at the annual Roots Picnic in Philadelphia on June 4. When the band played on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" back in January, Roots drummer Questlove tweeted: "If we got dsmbrmtpln for The Roots Picnic would longtime fans support? These [dudes] are tight!!!!" He followed through and now the band will join The Roots, Nas, Wiz Khalifa, Ariel Pink, Esperanza Spalding, Little Dragon, Yelawolf and more at what looks to be one of the best festivals of the year. Tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m.
- Christina Aguilera was arrested early Tuesday morning in Los Angeles for public intoxication. Her boyfriend was arrested for driving under the influence.
- Last week we talked to Katy Goodman of Vivian Girls about her upcoming adventures at sea as part of the inaugural Bruise Cruise festival. City Paper's Jonathan Fischer set sail and lived the tell the tale.

Killing bacteria with Heat and DNA
Name: Josh Status: Student Grade: 9-12 Location: PA Country: United States Date: November 2007
If Griffith used heat to kill the bacteria in his experiment, wouldn't the DNA be denatured and therefore would not affect the mice?
The smooth bacteria were killed by the heat. He did not heat kill the rough bacteria. when DNA is denatured it isn't the same thing as denaturing protein. Denaturing disrupts hydrogen bonds holding the molecule together. In proteins this destroys the tertiary structure (3D shape) which destroys its function. In DNA this breaks the two strands of the double helix apart into single strands. When Griffith mixed the two types of bacteria together in the same tube, the rough bacteria were able to scavenge the smooth bacteria's DNA and take portions into its own DNA by recombination. In other words, the rough bacteria took in a portion of the smooth DNA and exchanged it with its own DNA for that portion. This gave it a gene it didn't have on its own and allowed it to survive the mouse's immune system so it wasn't killed. This process of one bacteria taking in genes from its surroundings is called transformation.
