Hi All,
I have a BO hen that is acting like she does not feel well.
- hanging around in the pen while the others are out playing in the yard.
- Eyes closed like she is taking a nap
- Wings kind of dragging.
- Looks like she does not have much energy.
- She over all looks like she does not feel wall at all.
I see now visible problems like wounds or anything like that.
Does anyone have any idea what she my be suffering from?
Give me the simple country life.

Today's "values voters" conference in Washington is putting political attention back on evangelical white Protestants and their role in the Republican presidential contest. Here's a look at the data.
As we've reported, given his position on abortion and gay civil unions, Rudy Giuliani's support for the nomination is considerably weaker among evangelicals as compared with other Republicans. Among non-evangelical Republicans (we're including Republican-leaning independents), Giuliani has nearly triple the support of his closest competitor, Fred Thompson. Among evangelicals, they're tied.
Giuliani Thompson McCain Romney
white Protestants 23% 22 13 8
All other
leaned Republicans 38 14 12 12
Note also that Mitt Romney is unappealing to Republican evangelicals, owning apparently to his Mormon religion. Indeed 32 percent of evangelicals say they'd definitely not support Romney, vs. 23 percent who say that of Thompson, John McCain 22, Giuliani 14.
Yes – Republican evangelicals are less likely to flatly rule out Giuliani than any of the other top contenders. But he does have a tough row to hoe: In a poll we did in June, 75 percent of evangelical Republicans (vs. 42 percent of other Republicans) said Giuliani's support for legal abortion and gay civil unions made them "less likely" to support him. The question is whether they find a preferable alternative.
TERMS – The phrase "values voters" reflects political branding that we should approach with caution. All voters have values. For some those values are expressed as opposition to abortion, same-sex marriage and stem-cell research. Others' values are expressed as support for those same things. For yet others, "values" means hunger, homelessness, poverty or a host of other concerns. No one type of voter possesses "values" to the exclusion of others.
What the phrase really refers to is evangelical white Protestants, a core Republican group whose members, to a degree fairly unique in American society, conflate their religious beliefs and political views. The phrase "conservative Christian" sometimes is used, but it's inapt; what distinguishes people in this group is not just their conservatism, and not their Christianity, but their evangelicalism.
In terms of the size of the group: Twenty-one percent of voters in the 2004 presidential election were evangelical white Protestants (including other non-Catholic, non-Mormon Christians). Naturally, they account for a greater share of turnout in Republican primaries.
GENERAL ELECTION – While overwhelmingly Republican, evangelical white Protestants are not a monolithic group; 21 percent of them voted for John Kerry in 2004. Nor are they a single-issue or absolutist group. In a general election matchup against Hillary Clinton, Giuliani is supported by 69 percent of evangelical white Protestants; few (five percent) volunteer that they wouldn't support either.
Giuliani's current support in this group is somewhat (nine points) short of George W. Bush's 78 percent in 2004, but still a sizable majority. (Turnout does remain an issue – whether evangelicals would be de-motivated by a Giuliani candidacy and stay home; or anti-motivated by a Clinton candidacy and turn out.)
Clinton Giuliani Bush '04
white Protestants 26% 69 78%
ISSUES – Republican evangelicals are not vastly different from other Republicans in picking the most important issue in their vote. See the table below, from our early September poll; note that nine percent of evangelical Republicans picked either abortion or an issue relating to values or morality as their top issue, vs. 20 percent who cited the war in Iraq, 12 percent health care, 11 percent terrorism or national security, 10 percent the economy, 10 percent ethics or honesty in government, eight percent immigration.
Most important issue – among leaned Republicans
Evang. white All
Protestants others
Iraq/War in Iraq 20% 28
Health care 12 8
Terrorism/security 11 12
Economy/jobs 10 14
corruption 10 8
Immigration 8 7
Morals/family values 5 3
Abortion 4 0
Education 2 *
Federal deficit 1 0
Housing/mortgages 1 0
Other 6 7
No opinion 10 13
Specifically on abortion, a minority of evangelical Republicans, 36 percent, take the absolute position that it should be illegal in all cases. An additional 46 percent say it should be illegal in "most cases," for a (very large) net of 82 percent, compared to a net of 50 percent among all other leaned Republicans.
Also relevant here is a result from a poll question we asked in 2004: Fifty-five percent of all evangelical white Protestants said they could vote for a presidential candidate even if they disagreed with him on the abortion issue; 45 percent said they could not.
RELIGIOUS – Ultimately what probably most distinguishes evangelicals is their response to a question we last asked in October 2006: Do you think a political leader should or should not rely on his or her religious beliefs in making policy decisions? Among all Americans, 35 percent said a political leader should rely on his or her religious beliefs; 61 percent, should not.
Among evangelical white Protestants those numbers were almost precisely reversed, 66-33 percent.

Still squeaking by on ambient light; there's been almost no direct sun in the past week, but the clouds haven't been particularly dense, so we've been able to keep on top of the batteries. Since I don't have much to report, thought I'd answer a couple of recently posted questions.
Hi Ben - Have you ever explored the many lessons which have been learned and continue to illuminate those involved in the BedZED project in England? Since March 2002, 100 residents of this planned green community have lived with substantially less energy requirements (eg: 10% of normal heating costs) and continue to develop even more efficient techniques. I would be very interested in any comments about the BedZED lessons as they apply to your own magnificent project in Cabot. (Google "BedZED" and explore from there!)
Ben: I'm not familiar with BedZED, but I'm definitely going to check it out. It does seem to me that there's a lot of "disposable" energy use in the US. I believe we could run things a lot leaner without a significant drop in living standards or GDP. Some day soon, we'll probably have to. The only question is whether we do it by choice or are forced into it by global events such as warming or oil depletion or geo-political tensions. Thanks for bringing BedZED to my attention!
Q: I'm wondering if you're using a regular or specialized washing machine that use very little electricity? And the dryer?
Ben: We have a Maytag Neptune front-loading washer. It is efficient, but we're not terribly happy with it: It was very expensive ($1000), and it doesn't always clean as well as we'd like it to. We have friends who've had better luck with the much less expensive models from Kenmore. As for drying: We have a good ol' fashioned clothesline that we employ in the summer; during the winter, we take advantage of our wood stove and dry our clothes on wooden racks. This also helps return some of the humidity to the air that our wood stove removes, keeping it more comfortable. Though we do get tired of tripping over our drying laundry!

Australian workers have amassed 129 million days of annual leave worth $40bn in wages, and no one wins when it comes to untaken leave.
Excessive amounts of stockpiled leave can be a huge liability sitting on the balance sheet for employers, and according to Tourism Australia managing director Andrew McEvoy it's well worth planning for and addressing the challenges associated with accumulated annual leave. Employers can enhance employee engagement, productivity, and overall financial performance by following a plan to reduce annual leave liability. "There are easy-to-implement methods employers can use to encourage a leave-taking culture, with clear benefits to be gained such as building and engaging with a productive employee community," McEvoy added.
Tourism Australia's No Leave No Life website features an employer resources toolkit with a series of modules and practical case studies to assist with implementing a successful annual leave program. Key focus areas outlined include:
Often there are deep-seated reasons employees continue to not take annual leave – from economic and job security concerns, through to apprehensions about the workload they'll face upon return to work if their position is not backfilled while they are away. "Employees who don't take annual leave can often display higher levels of depression or anxiety-related stress among other symptoms compared to those who do take holidays," Medibank Health Solutions director Dr Peter Cotton said. "Even taking short breaks for just a few days can lead to an improvement in a person's mental, emotional and physical wellbeing."

Subaru Legacy/Outback Transmission Problems
xwesx Fairbanks, AlaskaPosts: 8,737While it seems to be far more rare for other model years, I have read many instances of this exact problem in the '99 models. I am not sure if it was a (temporary) change in design or what, but there is a definite trend.
I think the problem is that the internal seals in the transmission are wearing out. Basically, the transmission is leaking inside and is having difficulty building up the proper operating pressure to shift into gear. Unfortunately, transmissions with this issue are headed for a rebuild....2010 Subaru Forester, 2011 Ford Fiesta, 1969 Chevrolet C20 Pickup, 1969 Ford Econoline 100, 1976 Ford F250 Pickup, 1974 Ford Pinto Wagon -
ashevilleian Posts: 15Background info:
I bought a 2007 Subaru outback 2.5i with automatic with about 78,000 miles on it on 9/9/09. the test drive was perfect (though i was excited so i may have missed something) but later that same night, my car was dead so it had to be started using jumper cables and it happened again the next morning. I though i had a dud, but it turns out that stupid parking light switch on the steering column was turned on and had been on for some time (i didn't even know it existed until i called the dealer). I have a new battery and that problem is solved. but now, i have a new one. I don't know if this was occurring before the battery problem or not, but now when i'm driving most shifts feel perfect but every so often it feel like i ran over a speed bump when there is nothing there. it happens a lot on the highways and in the mountains but doesn't necessarily happen every time it shifts or for a certain gear but seems to happen most when i'm accelerating or decelerating. Any ideas?
I'm getting the ATF changed this week and will reset the computer to make sure it's not one of these "learned" behaviors.
Thanks -

ashevilleian Posts: 15ok, so i was driving my new-used 2007 Subaru outback 2.5i a good deal this past weekend and tried to localize whatever is going on with it a bit more. I had the ATF changed at the Subaru dealer here in asheville but the problem is still occurring. it seems to occur most at higher speeds (between 60-70 mph) and not necessarily during a shift but more when i'm changing speeds. and it feels like i'm driving over one of those strips along the road meant to wake you up if you fall asleep. it only lasts about a second and goes away. it also seems to happen more during inclines. oh and the ball bearings are all fine. any ideas?
ateixeira Posts: 72,587That's a mystery because I would have guess wheel bearings next, and you say those are OK.
I would look at the front diff fluid and the rear diff fluid. Maybe drain and fill, and check the magnetic drain plug to see if any metal shavings came off. Basically looking for other symptoms.
Can you tell from which side of the car the noise is coming? Try to narrow it down to front vs. back, or the side. -
saedave Chicago, ILPosts: 688it only lasts about a second and goes away. it also seems to happen more during inclines. oh and the ball bearings are all fine. any ideas?
Is there anything loose under the car that could touch the drive shaft? exhaust pipe, muffler heat shield? Also anything that could touch a wheel...brake line, etc.
Could it be the cooling fan or something driven by the serpentine belt? -

xwesx Fairbanks, AlaskaPosts: 8,737No real sound, but you can feel it and it only happens when the gears shift. Perhaps I am way off base here, but I almost think there is an issue with the torque converter - perhaps the lock-up clutch? It would be an uncommon failure if this is the case, but it just seems like it has something to do with the operation of the transmission.2010 Subaru Forester, 2011 Ford Fiesta, 1969 Chevrolet C20 Pickup, 1969 Ford Econoline 100, 1976 Ford F250 Pickup, 1974 Ford Pinto Wagon
ashevilleian Posts: 15it doesn't actually just happen when the gears shift, just when i change speeds. could that be the problem if it's occurring at times it's not shifting? most shifts are good, it seems that it only happens when i'm rapidly speeding up. like if i was going up an incline on the highway and have to floor it (since it's the 2.5) to keep a constant speed, it'll happen. then after it does it, it might shift and some times it happens a couple times in a row.
Sorry if it's confusing, i really dont know much about cars and i don't want to go into the dealer to get them to check it out without having some idea. they will charge me a bunch of hours to figure it out. -
xwesx Fairbanks, AlaskaPosts: 8,737Oh..... but this is all very confusing.
Here was your first account of the situation: but now when i'm driving most shifts feel perfect but every so often it feel like i ran over a speed bump when there is nothing there. it happens a lot on the highways and in the mountains but doesn't necessarily happen every time it shifts or for a certain gear but seems to happen most when i'm accelerating or decelerating. Any ideas?
We have now moved past the "speed bump" scenario (which I must say is quite different) to rumble strips. But, still no sound, just a feel.
I must say it seems like engine hesitation, with all things considered. Do you know the maintenance history of the vehicle? Is this the one that was a dealer demo (I get my stories confused)? This may be something as simple as worn spark plugs, but without knowing if they were replaced yet, it is hard to say. Also, no codes in the system would likely steer away from that theory as well.
*sigh*2010 Subaru Forester, 2011 Ford Fiesta, 1969 Chevrolet C20 Pickup, 1969 Ford Econoline 100, 1976 Ford F250 Pickup, 1974 Ford Pinto Wagon -
ashevilleian Posts: 15to make it even more interesting, i think it's doing both now. but it was first feeling like i hit a speed hump but after resetting the computer and getting ATF changed, now it's doing the rumble strips with a few speed bumps thrown in there (though they could be the same thing, i may just be paying more attention some times) and again neither of these happen all the time or very often and almost never during city driving.
Nope, no service records. its an 07 with 80k miles on it. i know i should just take the thing in to a dealer, but i really don't want to spend too much on the diagnosing part of it as it's $90 an hour. If there are no engine lights on, would it make any sense to hook a reader up to it? i have access to one if it would help at all. -
greywrench Posts: 2Hi all, newbie on edmonds. im a gm tech but it does sound like torque convrter clutch. try driving steady at 50 mph for a bit and just touch brake pedal enough to light the brake lights but not enough to slow the vehicle and the tcc should release and when you let off brake the tcc should lock up again. if this what we call "shudder" returns on re apply then your problem is torque converter. hope this helps

jasondpf Posts: 1I have a 1998 Subaru Legacy outback, and I recently changed the transmission fluid, and filter... unfortunately for me, it now will not drive at all!!!
I called a mechanic and he says I should have just cleaned the filter in place, and not removed it. Does anyone know how I can fix this!? my car is stuck up on ramps and wont drive.
I was sure that all the electrical connections were still pluged in when I put the pan back on.
Please HELP! -
xwesx Fairbanks, AlaskaPosts: 8,737So what is not working? Is the transmission just not engaging when you select a gear?
First off... make sure you put enough fluid in it! If the fluid is very low, it will not build the hydraulic pressure needed to engage the gears. If the level shows fine, it may be that something is not aligned properly on the filter and the fluid is not able to flow through it as it should.2010 Subaru Forester, 2011 Ford Fiesta, 1969 Chevrolet C20 Pickup, 1969 Ford Econoline 100, 1976 Ford F250 Pickup, 1974 Ford Pinto Wagon -
pangeus Posts: 11 year ago the trans started binding during tight turns. I adjusted my driving to avoid sharp turns. The engine/trans would also have a lot of torque when I put it into park to turn it off, and would lurch backward once that torque was shut off. I applied the brake before shutting it off so that lurch would not occur. I operated under hope that the trans would decline linearly over time rather than fail all at once.
So when I took it in recently I had them replace front axles and CV boots, valve cover gaskets, crankshaft seal and timing belt. Now that these new parts were on, an intermittent clattering noise began to come from the trans. If I start it up, the engine is fine and has all power. Acceleration is fine and smooth. There's no bucking. There is still the old binding problem and high torque while in park. The mechanic mentioned something about having too high a pressure in the trans, and that it was throwing a code.
I drove it slowly a few times and the intermittent loud clatter eventually 'spun' and settled down into a light, constant clatter coming from the trans.
1) Is it possible that the front axles which went bad were over-stressed by the binding problem?
2) Is it possible that the valve cover gaskets and crakshaft seals were worn out and leaking due to some over pressure caused by the trans?
3) If I baby it on level, low-speed, A-to-B streets, do I have a good hope the trans will last a while longer?
Repairing my own trans is quoted at $1800 minimum, so I'm wondering about a junkyard replacement trans.
4) What year and model range of Subaru trans will work on a 97 Outback AWD? Any horror stories about a junkyard trans replacement turning out to be crap?
Thank you! -
xwesx Fairbanks, AlaskaPosts: 8,737I would say no to points 1 and 2 above. For 3, I don't know. It sounds like it is nearing its end, to me. Have you changed out the transmission fluid to observe its condition?
As for 4, you should be able to use a 95 through 98 transmission in this car without any compatibility issues. There were some changes in 99, and I think those tend to be less reliable (based on empirical evidence), so you may want to keep your search capped at 98. It is always a gamble when you head to a junk yard. That said, I had 220,000 on my '96 Outback and were you to claim its transmission, I bet it would take you many more trouble-free miles. In other words, you never know but you should also pay accordingly.2010 Subaru Forester, 2011 Ford Fiesta, 1969 Chevrolet C20 Pickup, 1969 Ford Econoline 100, 1976 Ford F250 Pickup, 1974 Ford Pinto Wagon -
dlmracefans Posts: 2Just picked up a 95 Legacy Wagon AWD at an auction, sold "as is" and when we pulled away to drive home, the car wouldn't shift into 2nd or 3rd gear on an automatic tranny. The engine revved up to 3500 rpm and just would not go over 35 mph. Any know if this is going to require a full transmission swap or do they make a tranny kit that might be an easier fix...don't want to stick a ton of money in it. Just needs to be able to get to and from work on a daily basis. Thanks for any advice.

ABSTRACT: Hemorrhage caused by spinal cord hemangioblastoma is rare, usually presenting as a subarachnoid hemorrhage. Intramedullary hemorrhage is an extremely rare manifestation of spinal cord hemangioblastoma. Forty-year-old Japanese male patient presented with acute paraplegia. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the spinal cord revealed intramedullary hemorrhage. An intramedullary mass lesion was detected at the 8th thoracic vertebral level (T8) in a gadolinium enhanced-MR image. Spinal angiography revealed an intramedullary tumor stain at the level of T8. Therefore we diagnosed the problem as intramedullary hemorrhage caused by the hemangioblastoma. One month after the onset, extirpation of the intramedullary hemangioblastoma was performed. The tumor was completely removed. Pathological findings revealed a typical hemangioblastoma. At his final follow-up visit, the patient showed no apparent neurological recovery. Hemangioblastoma can be a cause of intramedullary hemorrhage should be considered in such cases.BMC Research Notes 11/2014; 7(1):823. - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Context We present a rare and interesting case of hemorrhagic lumbar facet cysts accompanying a spinal subdural hematoma at the same level suggesting a possible mechanism by which spinal subdural hematomas can arise. Findings A 71-year-old man presented with persistent sciatic pain and intermittent claudication. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a multilocular mass lesion that showed high signal intensity in both T1- and T2-weighted images, and was located both inside and outside of the spinal canal. Computed tomographic myelography showed a cap-shaped block of the dural tube at L5 and computed tomography with L5-S facet arthrography demonstrated cystic masses. The patient was diagnosed with lumbar radiculopathy caused by hemorrhagic facet cysts, and then progressed to surgical treatment. Surgery revealed that the cysts contained blood clots, and intraoperative findings that the inside of the dural tube appeared blackish and that the dural tube was tensely ballooned after removal of the cysts led us to explorative durotomy. The durotomy demonstrated concentrated old blood pooling both in the dorsal and ventral subdural space, and these spaces were subsequently drained. After surgery, his sciatic pain and intermittent claudication resolved. There was no evidence of cyst mass recurrence at 2 years of follow-up. Conclusion We propose a newly described mechanism for the formation of spinal subdural hematomas. We recommend surgeons be alert to epidural lesions causing repeated acute compression of the dural tube, which can cause spinal subdural hematoma, and consider the possible coexistence of these lesions in diagnosis and strategic surgical decisions.The journal of spinal cord medicine 06/2014; · 1.88 Impact Factor - Journal of Orthopaedic Science 01/2014; · 1.01 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Study Design. An open-labeled multicenter prospective non-randomized controlled clinical trialObjective. To confirm the feasibility of using granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) for treatment of acute spinal cord injury (SCI)Summary of Background Data. We previously reported that G-CSF promotes functional recovery after compression-induced spinal cord injury (SCI) in mice. Based on these findings, we conducted a multicenter prospective controlled clinical trial to assess the feasibility of G-CSF therapy for patients with acute SCI.Methods. The trial ran from August 2009 to March 2011, and included 41 SCI patients treated within 48 hours of onset. Informed consent was obtained from all patients. After providing consent, patients were divided into two groups. In the G-CSF group (17 patients), G-CSF (10 μg/kg/day) was intravenously administered for five consecutive days, and in the control group (24 patients), patients were similarly treated except for the G-CSF administration. We evaluated motor and sensory functions using the American Spinal Cord Injury Association (ASIA) score and ASIA impairment scale (AIS) at one week, three months, six months, and one year after onset.Results. Only two patients did not experience AIS improvement in the G-CSF group. In contrast, fifteen patients in the control group did not experience AIS improvement. In the analysis of increased ASIA motor score, a significant increase in G-CSF group was detected from one week after the administration compared to the control group. After that, some spontaneous increase of motor score was detected in control group, but the significant increase in G-CSF group was maintained until one year follow-up. Conclusion: Despite the limitation that patient selection was not randomized, the present results suggest the possibility that G-CSF administration has beneficial effects on neurological recovery in patients with acute SCI.Spine 12/2013; · 2.45 Impact Factor -
Article: Additional decompression at adjacent segments leads to adjacent segment degeneration after PLIF.
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: PURPOSE: Adjacent segment degeneration (ASD) is one of the major complications of lumbar fusion. Several previous retrospective studies reported ASD after PLIF. However, few reports evaluated whether decompression surgery combined with fusion surgery increases the rate of complications in adjacent segments. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the degeneration in decompressed adjacent segments after PLIF. METHODS: A total of 23 patients (12 men, 11 women; average age, 58.6) who underwent PLIF surgery [1 level (n = 9), 2 levels (n = 8), 3 levels (n = 4), 4 levels (n = 2)] were included. Additional adjacent decompression above or below the level of interbody fusion was performed at 25 levels and no adjacent decompression was performed at 15 levels. We retrospectively investigated ASD by X-ray films of all 40 adjacent segments (above and below fusion level) and clinical outcomes of all 23 cases. RESULTS: Of the 40 adjacent segments, 19 (47.5 %) showed ASD and 9 (22.5 %) showed symptomatic ASD. In the 19 segments with ASD, ASD occurred in 16 of 25 (64.0 %) segments at decompressed sites compared with 3 of 15 (20.0 %) non-decompressed sites. The ratio of ASD in adjacent segments was significantly higher at decompressed sites than at non-decompressed sites (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION: ASD occurs frequently in association with additional decompression above or below the level of PLIF. In cases in which the adjacent segments require decompression, a surgical strategy that preserves as much of the posterior complex as possible should be selected.European Spine Journal 02/2013; · 2.47 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: An open-labeled multicenter prospective controlled clinical trial. To confirm the feasibility of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) administration for patients with thoracic myelopathy. Although G-CSF is best known as an important cytokine commonly used to treat neutropenia, it also has nonhematopoietic functions. Previous experimental studies have shown that G-CSF can enhance tissue regeneration of several organs, such as the heart and the brain. We previously reported that G-CSF promotes functional recovery after spinal cord injury in rodents. On the basis of those findings, we started a clinical trial of neuroprotective therapy, using G-CSF for patients with worsening symptoms of thoracic myelopathy. Patients whose Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score for thoracic myelopathy had decreased 2 points or more during a recent 1-month period were eligible for entry. After giving informed consent, patients were assigned to G-CSF and control groups. The G-CSF group (n = 10) received G-CSF 10 μg/kg per day intravenously for 5 consecutive days. The control group (n = 14) received similar treatments as the G-CSF group except for G-CSF administration. The primary outcome was JOA recovery rate at 1 month after G-CSF administration or initial treatment. There was greater improvement in neurological functioning between baseline and 1-month follow-up in the G-CSF group (JOA recovery rate: 29.1 ± 20.5%) than in the control group (JOA recovery rate: 1.1 ± 4.2%) (P < 0.01). No serious adverse events occurred during or after the G-CSF administration. The results provide evidence that G-CSF administration caused neurological recovery in patients with worsening symptoms of thoracic compression myelopathy.Spine 05/2012; 37(17):1475-8. · 2.45 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Radial glial cells are neural stem cells (NSC) that are transiently found in the developing CNS. To study radial glia, we isolated clones following immortalization of E13.5 GFP rat neurospheres with v-myc. Clone RG3.6 exhibits polarized morphology and expresses the radial glial markers nestin and brain lipid binding protein. Both NSC and RG3.6 cells migrated extensively in the adult spinal cord. However, RG3.6 cells differentiated into astroglia slower than NSC, suggesting that immortalization can delay differentiation of radial glia. Following spinal cord contusion, implanted RG3.6 cells migrated widely in the contusion site and into spared white matter where they exhibited a highly polarized morphology. When injected immediately after injury, RG3.6 cells formed cellular bridges surrounding spinal cord lesion sites and extending into spared white matter regions in contrast to GFP fibroblasts that remained in the lesion site. Behavioral analysis indicated higher BBB scores in rats injected with RG3.6 cells than rats injected with fibroblasts or medium as early as 1 week after injury. Spinal cords transplanted with RG3.6 cells or dermal fibroblasts exhibited little accumulation of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPG) including NG2 proteoglycans that are known to inhibit axonal growth. Reduced levels of CSPG were accompanied by little accumulation in the injury site of activated macrophages, which are a major source of CSPG. However, increased staining and organization of neurofilaments were found in injured rats transplanted with RG3.6 cells suggesting neuroprotection or regrowth. The combined results indicate that acutely transplanted radial glia can migrate to form bridges across spinal cord lesions in vivo and promote functional recovery following spinal cord injury by protecting against macrophages and secondary damage.Experimental Neurology 07/2005; 193(2):394-410. · 4.62 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Neurotrophins have been shown to promote axonal regeneration, but the techniques available for delivering neurotrophins have limited effectiveness. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of adenovirus vector mediated gene transfer of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) on axonal regeneration after spinal cord injury. We prepared adenovirus vectors encoding either beta-galactosidase (AxCALacZ) or BDNF (AxCABDNF). AxCALacZ was used to assess infection levels of the adenovirus BDNF produced by AxCABDNF was detected by Western blotting and its bioactivity was confirmed by bioassay. As a model of spinal cord injury, the rat spinal cord was completely transected at the T8 level. Immediately after transection, the vectors were injected into both stumps of the spinal cord. Axonal regeneration after transection was assessed by retrograde and anterograde tracing. In AxCALacZ-injected rats, adenovirus-infected cells were observed not only at the injected site but also in brainstem nuclei, as shown by LacZ expression. After the injection of the retrograde tracer fluorogold (FG) distal portion to the transection, AxCABDNF-injected rats showed FG-labeled neurons in the red nucleus. The anterograde tracer biotinylated dextran amine (BDA) injected into the red nucleus was also found in regenerating rubrospinal fibers distal to the transection. These tracing experiments demonstrated the regeneration of descending axons. In addition, rats of the AxCABDNF group showed significant locomotor recovery of hindlimb function, which was completely abolished by re-transection. These results indicate that the recovery was caused by regeneration of rubrospinal axons, not by simple enhancement of the central pattern generator.Journal of Neurotrauma 04/2004; 21(3):329-37. · 3.97 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We evaluated the effect of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) on cell death after spinal cord injury. A rat spinal cord injury model was produced by static load, and continuous intrathecal BDNF or vehicle infusion was carried out either immediately or 3 days after the injury. Cell death was examined by nuclear staining and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL). After injury, typical apoptotic cells were observed. Double staining with TUNEL and specific cell markers revealed that, soon after the injury, the apoptotic or necrotic cells at the injury site were neurons and microglia. One week after the injury, apoptotic oligodendrocytes, but not apoptotic astrocytes, were observed in the white matter rostral and caudal to the injury site, whereas few apoptotic cells were found in the gray matter. The immediate BDNF treatment significantly reduced the number of TUNEL-positive cells in the adjacent rostral site 1 and 2 weeks after the injury, and in the adjacent caudal site 3 days and 1 week after the injury, even though there was no significant difference between BDNF-treated and control rats at the injury site itself. In addition, similar antiapoptotic effects were observed in these regions 1 week after injury in rats that received BDNF treatment from the third day after injury. These findings suggest that BDNF suppresses delayed apoptosis of oligodendrocytes after spinal cord injury, for which even delayed injections are effective. BDNF administration may therefore be useful for the clinical treatment of spinal cord injury through the suppression of secondary events.Journal of Neurotrauma 07/2002; 19(6):777-85. · 3.97 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Neurotrophins enhance the survival of cells in the nervous system under both physiological and pathological conditions, such as those caused by disease or trauma. We recently demonstrated that expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) was up-regulated in neurons and glia after compression-induced spinal cord injury (SCI). We show here the effects of BDNF on the oligodendrocyte survival and functional recovery after SCI. The effects of intrathecally administered BDNF on both Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD) and myelin basic protein (MBP) expression were examined using rats that had received compression-induced spinal cord injury. CuZnSOD expression in the spinal cord was down-regulated within 24 h of compression-induced injury and then recovered. Continuous infusion of BDNF inhibited the acute down-regulation of CuZnSOD expression. In situ hybridization showed that CuZnSOD was expressed in both neurons and glia. Although MBP expression was greatly reduced after injury, BDNF administration promoted the recovery of MBP expression nearly to a control level after 2 wk. Furthermore, BDNF administration also prompted behavioral recovery. These results suggest BDNF's usefulness in human clinical applications. The attenuation of CuZnSOD down-regulation may be related to a protective effect of BDNF and the promotion of MBP up-regulation may be related to a long-lasting restorative effect.Journal of Neuropathology and Experimental Neurology 03/2002; 61(2):142-53. · 4.37 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a member of the nerve growth factor family of trophic factors, has multiple functions including a role in the promotion of neuronal survival and nerve fiber elongation in both the central and the peripheral nervous systems. We assessed the expression of endogenous BDNF following an experimentally induced compression injury to the spinal cord. Expression of BDNF mRNA was increased following the spinal cord injury; reaching maximum levels 24 h after the injury. Expression of BDNF mRNA returned to the levels observed in sham-operated control animals within 3 days of the injury. Using the in situ hybridization technique, we observed a wide distribution of BDNF expression among the different cell types in the spinal cord, including motor and sensory neurons, and in glia cells, including astrocytes. We also observed expression of BDNF in putative macrophages and/or microglia; however, this effect was not observed until day 7 following spinal cord injury. These results suggest that BDNF is synthesized in both neurons and astrocytes during the acute response to injury to the spinal cord, functioning in a mainly neuroprotective role. This is followed by a later phase of expression in which BDNF is produced by macrophages and/or microglia, apparently functioning in a restorative capacity.Acta Neuropathologica 08/2001; 102(3):239-245. · 9.78 Impact Factor - Neurology India 61(6):668-669. · 1.08 Impact Factor

While teammates sprinted and sweated preparing for Saturday's season opener at defending champion Sacramento, Diana Taurasi and Kelly Miller sat in frustration.
Taurasi has battled a thigh injury all week. She continued doing shooting drills but only watched the team's full-court drills.
Miller has a slightly pulled hamstring, but was able to run the court Thursday until the end.
Both will be game-time decisions. The mantra around the Mercury has been "better now than later," when it comes to injuries, and while neither appears to be serious, it's too early to know if injuries could become a nagging nuisance this season.
But with the season not even started yet, they're already an annoyance.
"Fortunately, we have another 48 hours," Mercury coach Paul Westhead said Thursday. "They're both in the process of healing."
Depending on injuries and matchups, Westhead said he won't decide a starting lineup until today at the earliest, and between injuries and overseas arrivals, continuity hasn't fully developed.
"A lot of new faces, including myself, plus injuries have been a setback," forward Kristen Rasmussen said. "Eventually we'll get there."
Playing at Sacramento on national television is a tough enough task, and Taurasi is known for her toughness, but if she's unable to play, it would be a huge blow to the Mercury's chances of starting a season 1-0 for the first time since 2000.
"I'm optimistic," Westhead said. "Especially if we're healthy."
Three practices removed from arriving in Phoenix, Kamila Vodichkova has already injected size and strength into a thin frontcourt.
The 6-foot-4 Vodichkova averaged nearly 11 points and eight rebounds last season. After playing in Russia, she arrived from visiting family in the Czech Republic early this week, and Westhead has no qualms about putting her in the starting lineup, especially against Sacramento's formidable frontline of Yolanda Griffith and DeMya Walker.
"Kamila comes in and she's big and mobile," Rasmussen said. "We're mostly a finesse group. It's nice to have her presence."
Without any preseason games and little exposure to Westhead's running game, conditioning could be a factor early on with Vodichkova, but not enough to make Westhead worry.
"She's so important for us inside," he said. "I don't see any reason why she won't be ready."
Following some maneuvering, the Mercury finalized their opening-day roster of 13 players (11 active, two inactive per game). The team traded forward Angelina Williams to Detroit in exchange for two third-round draft picks in next year's draft. Williams, a second-round pick in 2005, averaged 2.5 points in nine minutes last year. With the roster cutdown looming, the Mercury were happy to receive some value for Williams. "The alternative was cutting her and getting nothing," Mercury general manager Seth Sulka said. "She has some value and interest from teams, and we were able to turn it into something positive." The team also released forward Shereka Wright, who tore her ACL early in training camp and is out for the season. . . . General manager Seth Sulka said he is optimistic forward Penny Taylor will rejoin the Mercury this season. Taylor figures to be a keep component to this year's team. Negotiations continue about a starting date for Taylor, who's finishing a commitment in Italy. ... Both Westhead and Monarchs coach John Whisenant will wear microphones during Saturday's ABC broadcast.

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
Manualised Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
for anxiety and depression in adults with mild intellectual disabilities (ID)
Funded by:
This is a two and half year research project that focuses on developing a manualised cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) treatment that can be used by trained CBT therapists to treat common mental disorders (depression and/or anxiety) in people with mild intellectual disabilities.
Cognitive behavioural treatment (CBT) is now recognised by the NHS as the best treatment for depression and anxiety. CBT helps people learn to think about their problems in a different way and how to cope better. In the UK, current policy states that people with intellectual disabilities should have the same access to healthcare as the general population. People with mild intellectual disabilities are often more likely to experience depression and/or anxiety compared to the general population however; CBT is not readily available to people with intellectual disabilities. This is mainly because it needs to be modified appropriately to cater for the cognitive problems and complex communication needs.
There is now growing evidence of CBT being used in clinical practice for a range of mental health problems in people with intellectual disabilities. These include treatment of psychosis, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, depression and anger. However most CBT interventions have focused on the behavioural rather than cognitive aspects of the intervention with observable behaviour rather than psychological change being the most frequently used outcome measure.
The broad outcome of the study will be to produce clear guidelines for therapists to apply an established intervention and identify how and whether it works with people with intellectual disabilities. We will also use the information from this study to prepare for a larger trial that will tell us more about the benefits of CBT in this population.
- Develop a Cognitive behavioural Therapy (CBT) manual for treatment of common mental disorders in people mild to moderate learning disabilities.
- Use a small randomised controlled trial to find out if CBT is suitable for people with mild learning disabilities and see how the manual works it practice.
- Use a randomised controlled trial to find out if the CBT manual can improve mental health (depression and/or anxiety) in people with mild to moderate learning disabilities.
Supported by:
Duration of study: March 2009 - August 2011
Phase 1:
Develop the CBT manual
(March 2009 – March 2010)
The CBT manual will be developed by the research team that consists of specialists in the field of intellectual disabilities, cognitive behavioural therapy and health interventions. The content of the manual will be informed by various books and journals where CBT treatments have been described for either people with intellectual disabilities or child/adolescents.
The manual will provide detailed information and a step by step approach to trained CBT therapists on how to conduct CBT in people with intellectual disabilities suffering from common mental disorders. For example, outlining changes in cognitive and/or behavioural techniques, how materials and techniques can be modified, session duration and length of the treatment, etc.
Phase 2:
Randomised controlled trial
(March 2010 – August 2011)
We will then carry out a pilot clinical trial to evaluate the CBT manual. We will recruit participants from the local intellectual disabilities services in the London boroughs of Camden and Islington.
Participants: A total of 30 participants will be randomly allocated to either receive either:
1) Manualised CBT (n=15): The participant will
received up to 20 hourly one-to-one manualised CBT sessions over a period of 4
2) Treatment as usual (n=15): The participant
will keep receiving the standard treatment which is available to any adult with
an intellectual disability who is referred to the service. This includes care
management, medical, nursing or social support.
Assessments: We will interview participants at the beginning
(baseline), end of treatment (4 months) and at 6 months follow-up to find out
how they feel and any changes they have experienced. There will also be an open
question about their experience and process of therapy to both service users
and their carers.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Lilly!
Facts about Lilly
- Breed: Boxer/Labrador Retriever Mix
- Color: Tricolor (Tan/Brown & Black & White)
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Lilly's Info...
I am up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Lilly is 13 wks old (1/10/13) and weighs approx 15-18 lbs. She was found abandoned in a box near Christmas. The current owner/foster cannot afford to keep her. She is a calm, easy going pup. She is good w/other dogs and kids. Crate trained. Submissive temperament. Sweet girl. Visit our website at www.saveamuttkennel.info for more info and an application. Will be microchipped and vet checked within 72 hrs of placement. Vaccines up to date.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Lilly, a Sussex Boxer/Labrador Retriever puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Boxer/Labrador Retriever for sale in Sussex, or seeking a Boxer/Labrador Retriever puppy from a breeder in Sussex.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Sussex already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Sussex breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Boxer/Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Boxer/Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Sussex paves the way for another one to be saved.

It is very important to have proper movement technique when acting for the stage. Check out these tips on improving your stage movement:
Two actors in a love scene
Physically embody your character based on who he or she is as a person. How old is the character? What does he/she do for a living? Are they confident or insecure? Remember that you are not playing yourself when you are acting. You are playing an individual completely different from you. Gather all the information you know about the character and figure out how he/she would use their body. Include subtle idiosyncrasies that could be true to the character. Marlon Brando's performance in A Streetcar Named Desire is a perfect example of this. Every time his character (Stanley) picked up an object he grabbed it aggressively and brutish, which was very authentic to his character's nature.
You want to show your character's intention in every movement you make on stage. What does your character want? What kind of emotion is he or she feeling that moment? Let the circumstances and your character's intentions influence your movement. This will help you to physicalize the circumstances of the scene and show how you feel towards the other people on stage.
There are certain moves that an actor makes on stage that will convey power or weakness. A powerful move for a character is to walk towards his or her scene partner during a moment in the scene. It reveals a strong intention and it can change who has "the power" in the scene. If your character backs away from another character during the scene show it shows weakness and retreat. Touching another character during the scene is also a powerful movement depending on how you touch the other person (grab, caress, shove). Strong/weak moves go hand-in-hand with your character's intentions in the scene.
The Alexander Technique is widely used in the performing arts as a way to master your body's movements. It teaches you to relax the tense muscles in your body that inhibit your movement and breathing. Stage acting can be physically taxing because in requires you to play out your movements to a great amount of people. Most acting programs teach a course in the Alexander Technique. You can also find a specialized Alexander Technique instructor in your area. A good resource for this is alexandertechnique.com. For a book source, check out The Alexander Technique: The Essential Writings Of F. Matthias Alexander.

The Minicuotas Ribeiro campaign hilariously connects shopping at the retail store to looking better. A discount store in Argentina, it encourages people to swap one regularly purchased item for another than will do them a lot better. For instance, if Martha traded her sweet cakes for a hair straightener, she'll not only lose weight, she'll have better hair. As for John, instead of hair gel, he should invest in a fan to cool him down and improve his hair also.
Created by Almacén, an ad agency based in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the Minicuotas Ribeiro campaign was art directed by Marta Abad with creative direction by Walter Onorato and Diego Duprat. It was photographed by Juan Salvarredy.

Love the Look: 'Twilight' Star Ann Kendrick's Plunging Neckline!
Anna Kendrick is showing some skin for spring!
The Twilight star simplified her style, wearing a Zac Posen LBD to the Time 100 Gala on Tuesday in NYC, an event that honors the "100 Most Influential People in the World." Though the dress was simple, it was still show-stopping with its plunging neckline and metallic-esque coloring. The Oscar nominee accessorized the getup with Cartier jewels and a pair of black pumps.
Earlier this month, Anna and her Twilight cast mates Ashley Greene, Kellan Lutz, Jackson Rathbone and Nikki Reed were spotted heading back to the U.S. after finishing up filming on Breaking Dawn in the Vancouver area. They all looked happy to be back home as they arrived at LAX – and in a climate warmer than the Great White North – after spending over three months filming key scenes in Canada. Before that, the stars had been busy filming in South America and Louisiana.
Robert Pattinson commented to the TODAY show on wrapping the successful film franchise, telling Matt Lauer, "It was a long process, eight months. ... So it was kind of a relief to finally get the contacts out of my eyes. I was just about to kill someone."

Chill of An Early Winter
At Watts Up With That, Christopher Monckton highlights the astonishingly partisan dimension, in the U.S., of the global warming controversy: One of the most interesting statistics from the recent mid-terms was the New York Times' exit poll, showing that more than two-thirds of "Democrat" voters thought climate change was a serious problem. Five-sixths of Republicans didn't. That's really stark. I wonder whether any other issue would fall along equally partisan »
More Yummy, High-Fat Election Schadenfreude
The last two paragraphs of the New York Times story today on how Tom Steyer's campaign spending was a bust are worth savoring with a nice glass of single-malt, or whatever is your favorite beverage to restore the tissues: Just as liberal groups run ads linking candidates to Charles G. and David H. Koch, the billionaire brothers, and the their opposition to climate change policy, conservative groups have now started »
Environmentalists Show How to Make the Best Comics Epically Unfunny
How do you take the best comics in the country and make them duller than wet cardboard? You dragoon them into plying their chops on behalf of environmental organizations, which the NRDC did this week at their "night of comedy." The three-minute clip below really makes you feel sorry for Seth Meyers, Larry David, et al. Here's a sample of the comic fare from the actual event, from Seth Meyers: "Let's »
Steyer, Steyer, Pants on Fire
Tom Steyer is delusional. Or living in a parallel universe where Al Gore is emperor. Probably comes with hanging out with Nancy Pelosi in Pacific Heights too much. He tells the San Jose Mercury News that "I feel as if we did better than we expected." The story adds: Steyer and his camp stress that they have created an infrastructure — which includes identifying 250.000 "climate voters" — for the »
Climate Change? An Issue for Losers
Ross Douthat nails it in his NY Times blog post-mortem: And nobody, but nobody, cared how many millions liberal billionaires spent trying to make climate change an issue.

Does Cloud Cover Explain Recent Temperature Trends?
Climate science is in its infancy, and much of what drives the Earth's climate is understood poorly if at all. It is clear, however, that clouds have a significant impact on temperatures. A recent paper by Australian physicist John McLean suggests that cloud cover, combined with the El Nino-Southern Oscillation, explains temperature trends from 1950 to the present. Anthony Watts summarizes the paper's findings: Key points of the paper: * »
A 97 Percent Footnote
Pointing out the fraudulence and superficiality of the climatistas "97 percent!" campfire slogan is a tedious business, but someone has to do it. (My most complete analysis of it is here.) The distinguished climate economist Richard Tol has been all over the original Cook paper, and has a fresh takedown up on his website right now. If you're not familiar with Tol, he is one of the pre-eminent economists in »
Who's The Warmest of Them All?
The climatistas are already wetting their pants with the news that 2014 is supposedly on track to be the warmest year evah! The AP's environmental "reporter" Seth Borenstein (who is really just an environmental activist with a byline, like most environmental "reporters"*) has told us so. Not so fast, says Dr. Roy Spencer, who is, as you may recall, one of the inventors of the NASA satellite systems that give »
I Am the Walrus—Not!

Why Climate Negotiations Are Like Arms Control
News out of Europe yesterday is that the EU has adopted an ambitious greenhouse gas emission reduction target, calling for a 40 percent reduction in GHG emissions by the year 2030. But the announcement was larded with lots of talk of "flexibility" and contains so many contradictory elements that it is clear this is not serious. My favorite condition is this one: A 27% renewable energy target that is binding »
Happer on the Hapless Climatistas
The Puffington Host is up this afternoon with the headline "Another Month, Another Heat Record Broken." Get ready for whoops of celebration from the 97 percent: we're back in business!

While we await the familiar refrain, you might want to take in the presentation below from Will Happer, given last week at the George Marshall Institute in Washington. Who is Happer? »
Tornado Blind Alley
Everyone knows—or at least geniuses like Al Gore, Barbara Boxer, and John Kerry know—that global warming climate change means more severe weather. Like Sharknados! Or at least tornadoes. Science magazine reports on the subject this week, and since you can't get any more 97 percenty than Science, this is worth passing along. "Increased Variability of Tornado Occurrence in the United States" finds no increase in the total number of tornadoes »
Today's Climate Comics: Hide Your Cat
Apparently feeling outflanked by Naomi Klein's climate comic book This Changes Everything, the other Naomi (Oreskes)—author of the original version of the "97 percent" canard—and her sometimes co-author Erik Conway are out with a new climate comic book with the less than subtle title The Collapse of Western Civilization: A View from the Future. You might want to keep this tome from these would-be Spenglers handy, because some of their »
More Problems for the Deep Ocean Warming Theory
New study from NASA last week: NASA Study Finds Earth's Ocean Abyss Has Not Warmed The cold waters of Earth's deep ocean have not warmed measurably since 2005, according to a new NASA study, leaving unsolved the mystery of why global warming appears to have slowed in recent years.

It comes from Richard Feynman, one of the pre-eminent scientists of modern times, via the Science and Environmental Policy Project: You cannot prove a vague theory wrong.

Curry at Slow Boil
The climate change argument has been repetitive for years now, but so is the back and forth of a tennis game. Slow changes in scientific opinion, and subtle shifts in scientific findings, will make no difference to the climatistas who are invested in the catastrophic climate scenario, nor to the grasping politicians who pant to take control of the energy marketplace. Still, it is worth taking note of new research »

Top 10 Holiday Movies To Watch Together
Baby, it's cold outside! Stay warm watching a holiday movie.
By elizabeth
6 of 10 | << First | < Previous | Next > | Last >> | Back to gallery |
Elf (2003)
If Blades of Glory didn't convince you that Will Farrell in tights is a crowd pleaser, than this movie will surely do the trick. Farrel plays Buddy, a human raised by elves who journeys to New York City at Christmastime to look for his real family. The results? Pure hilarity, light on the drama with a tear-free ending.
He'll love: Buddy's 17-second belch.
You'll love: The adorable singing shower scene.
