Stanislaw Stepkowski, D.V.M., Ph.D., D.Sc.
Stanislaw M. Stepkowski, PhD. Professor in the Department of Medical Microbiology and Immunology.
Dr. Stepkowski received his Ph.D. and D.Sc. from the Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, Poland. He carried out his post-doctoral training at Radium Hospital, Oslo, Norway and at Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. He began his academic career at the rank of Assistant Professor at the University of Texas Medical School, Houston, where he remained until he joined UT College of Medicine in 2007.
Dr. Stepkowski's research interests are in cell and organ transplantation, with focus on improvement of long-term allograft survival and development of new immunosuppressive modalities. More specifically, the laboratory focuses on the cytokine-mediated Jak3/Stat-dependent signals leading to proliferation and differentiation of activated T cells. Based on screening of multiple compounds from NIH database, the laboratory has developed a selective Jak3 inhibitor (NC1153), which may inhibit kidney allograft rejection in rats and cynomolgus monkeys. Most of this work has been published in the Journal of Immunology, Blood, and Transplantation.
Dr. Stepkowski had investigated a sphingosin-1-phosphate receptor (S1P) agonist, FTY720 (2-amino-2-2-[4[octylphenyl]ethyl)propane-1,3-diol hygrochloride), which inhibits allograft rejection. However, this promising compound was abandoned following clinical kidney trials because of its side effects, and in particular bradycardia and hypertension, which occurred because of poor selectivity of this compound. Over the last 2 years, the laboratory has tested a novel compound, KRP203 (2-amino-2-propanediol hydrochloride), with selective agonist activity on S1P1. Recent results showed that KRP203 not only extends allograft survival of kidney allografts but also induces transplantation tolerance to pancreatic islet allografts when combined with local infusion of T regulatory cells. One cannot overemphasize the implication of this work on type 1 diabetes.
More recently, the laboratory showed that a short therapy with anti-T cell receptor (TCR) monoclonal antibody prevented development of Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) as well as blocked onset of the disease in two mouse models. These results correlated with significant expansion of CD4+Foxp3+ regulatory T (Treg) cells. Furthermore, the laboratory has shown that anti-TCR mAb did not produce a cytokine storm similar to anti-CD3 mAb, the latter therapy is currently used in clinical trials. The plan is to produce humanized anti-human TCR mAb, which will be tested in vivo in humanized mouse model of islet and vascularized artery transplantation.
Dr. Stepkowski has developed multiple collaborations with other members of CeDER to investigate the role of the immune response in the pathogenesis of obesity and obesity-induced diseases, including diabetes, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and atherosclerosis.
Dr. Stepkowski has authored more than 150 peer-reviewed articles. His research has been continuously funded by grants from the NIH.

Brian Jonestown Massacre
There are tribute bands, which focus all their energy on replicating somebody else's music. And there are outfits that play "original" material that sounds exactly like that of their heroes. Then there are those genius auteurs who wear their influences on their sleeves yet still manage to do their own thing. Anton Newcombe's Brian Jonestown Massacre falls into the last category. Along with a noted devotion to the mid-'60s version of the Rolling Stones, BJM incorporates psychedelic sounds into its songs, which end up sounding more like lo-fi Beta Band meets the Jesus and Mary Chain, with sitars. Fronted by Newcombe, the San Francisco-based outfit has gone through more than forty members since its inception in 1990 -- and with good reason: As documented in the 2004 award-winning documentary DiG!, Newcombe is notorious for his tantrums and unpredictability, traits that have ultimately, despite the frontman's prodigious talent (he's been known to compose entire albums in a single day), kept the band from realizing greater acclaim.

I'm looking for a new defensive shotgun and have decided on a Mossberg 590A1. Model numbers 51663 and 51668 have the heavy wall barrels and 50663 and 50668 have the standard barrel. The model numbers ending in 8 have the speed feed stock that hold 4 additional shells, 2 on each side.
Is the speed feed stock better or worse than adding a side saddle shell holder to a standard stock?
Is the heavy wall barrel model worth a few extra bucks?
Let me hear your pros and cons...thanks in advance!

More About:
Here's a quick guide to the differences between corn and forage sorghum, courtesy of Brent Bean, Texas AgriLife Extension agronomist, and colleagues.
Seed cost: Corn seed can cost $100/acre compared to a $15/acre overall average sorghum seed cost.
Water use: Full-production corn silage needs 20-25" of irrigation water. That compares to 14-18" for sorghum silage.
Yield: Fully irrigated corn averages 27-32 tons/acre while sorghum silage yields, on average, 20-26 tons/acre.
Silage quality: Corn typically will provide better feed value but some sorghum hybrids have been shown to be equal to it in nutritional value.
Drought tolerance: Forage sorghum can withstand periods of drought better than corn.
For more information, see Bean's full report, "Corn and Sorghum Silage Production Considerations."

The Natural Resources Conservation Service's new Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) offers several improvements over the old Conservation Security Program, including continuous signup with a first program cutoff deadline of Sept. 30.
That's according to Steve Parkin, USDA-NRCS conservation stewardship program management specialist, who explained the program during a recent Webinar sponsored by the National Alfalfa & Forage Alliance.
Signup began Aug. 10 and requires each potential applicant to fill out a three-page self-screening checklist available at NRCS field offices. The first round of applications will be verified and approved by Nov. 30.
Now available nationwide, the program also added non-industrial private forestland as an eligible land. "The old security program was only available in limited watersheds on very limited signup schedules, so we think with nationwide availability, we've got a greater opportunity to deliver conservation benefits," Parkin said.
The new CSP shifts decision-making to the state level, he added. "We're allocating acres and associated funds down to state conservationists to manage. Those state conservationists will be working with local work groups … to identify resource concerns that are of a priority for their state or geographic areas of their state.
"Those geographic areas then become the ranking pools and folks within those areas would compete against other producers in that geographic area who share the same resource concerns and challenges," Parkin said.
The program is authorized for 12.8 million acres per year through 2017 and also allows participants to be involved in multiple contracts at a given time as long as they're not exceeding the program payment limitation.
Another improvement is the conservation measurement tool, Parkin said. "The old security program had several different eligibility tools that we were required to work producers through – the soil and water eligibility tool, wildlife habitat eligibility tool and grazing-land eligibility tool. Well, this new conservation measurement tool is going to combine the function of those past tools … inventorying resources for existing systems to arrive at a performance level. We're also going to look at the new activities that producers are willing to undertake and assign them a conservation performance score."
The scores will be combined to come up with a conservation performance score to be used to determine eligibility and ranking scores. Funding decisions will be based on those ranking scores and the conservation performance scoring will determine payments.
Two types of payments for conservation performance-level improvements include 1) an annual payment for existing and new activities and 2) a supplemental payment available on cropland to participants receiving annual payments who also adopt a resource-conserving crop rotation.
Such rotations reduce wind and water erosion; improve soil organic matter, tilth and fertility; interrupt pest cycles; and protect habitat, says Norm Widman, NRCS national agronomist who also spoke during the NAFA Webinar.
"Each state has developed a list of resource-conserving crops," Widman said. Resource-conserving crops are defined as: 1) a perennial grass, legume or grass-legume mixture grown for use as forage, seed for planting or green manure; 2) a high-residue-producing crop (such as corn, rice or wheat); or 3) a cover crop following an annual crop.
Resource-conserving crop rotations must be implemented by the third year of a CSP contract on at least a third of the rotation acres and grown at least three years of the contract. The resource-conserving crops must be planted on all rotation acres before the fifth year.
"You can simply add two crops in your rotation: an annual crop and then a perennial crop that lasts at least two years. So if you had corn one year and alfalfa two years, that would be a resource-conserving crop rotation," Widman said.
A second option would be a two-year rotation of two different crops, such as corn and soybeans. "But when you only have two crops, (with no perennial crop) one of those crops needs to be followed by a cover crop. And the cover crop is not harvested or the residue removed from that cover crop. For instance, if you were growing a rye cover crop after soybeans, you would not graze it or harvest the forage the following spring. It would be either tilled into the soil or chemically killed and no-tilled into," he said.
"The third rotation option is to have a minimum of three different crops. If you're not able to grow a perennial, you have three different crops where at least one-half of that rotation would have these crops that we consider resource-conserving." An example rotation could include one year of grain corn and one year of wheat grown for grain followed by double-crop soybeans.
The next program cutoff period will be in mid-January, Parkin added. "We're going to hope to get these contracts obligated early enough in the year to where producers can make management decisions and get their activities applied."

WEST BROOKFIELD - Area ambulance services are taking a hard, collective look at finding a better way to handle emergency responses in a half-dozen local towns.
The Central Massachusetts Regional Planning Commission in Worcester has agreed to work with officials from North Brookfield, Brookfield, West Brookfield, Hardwick, New Braintree and Oakham to explore ways of reducing ambulance response time and make advanced life support services more readily available to patients.
Meetings have been held in Hardwick and West Brookfield, with more sessions planned in the months ahead.
Ware Fire Chief Thomas H. Coulombe is also involved, because of his expertise in handling a full-time town-operated ambulance service, according to Janet A. Pierce, regional services and business manager of the CMRPC. The Ware Ambulance Service routinely aids Hardwick, Warren and West Brookfield.
The Brookfield Rescue Squad does the same for neighboring towns there.
Ms. Pierce said Rutland Fire Chief Bradley D. Weber was also at the Hardwick meeting, because Rutland provides ALS service for Oakham.
A lot of area towns depend on private, nonprofit ambulance services to provide emergency care, and some of those services are finding it tough to continue without seeking financial support from the towns they operate in. This is particularly true in Hardwick, New Braintree and Spencer right now.
There appears to be a growing interest in finding regional solutions to local problems, both in area towns and on the state level, in hopes of improving service while cutting costs.
"Ultimately," Ms. Pierce said in a recent interview, "what this study could lead to would be potentially an application for a state Community Challenge Grant."
She said it may be determined through this study that a paramedic, for example, could serve four strategically placed towns if a vehicle was provided for the person with all the needed equipment. That way the paramedic could be contacted by local ambulances and intercept an ambulance on the way to the hospital to provide advanced care to an acutely ill patient.
Ms. Pierce said the four towns involved could then apply for a state grant to
finance the vehicle and/or supplies.
Ambulance services currently provide backup to neighboring towns, or provide advanced life support service if the community does not have it.
Some area towns' ambulances are staffed solely with emergency medical technicians, and those personnel are limited in the care offered during transport to a hospital.
Other area ambulance services offer paramedic capability with ALS, which as the name implies, provides the patient with advanced care such as certain medications and intravenous help.
Ms. Pierce said the key focus of this study, which she estimated will conclude in September, is to maintain the current ambulance services with improvements.
"We really don't want to replace anything that's currently there," she said. "The feeling I got from all of the towns is that they don't want to eliminate the way that they do business. They're looking at what can be done to do it perhaps more efficiently, and maybe on a regional basis by having all of these services help each other out."
The study will review current procedures and how they can be improved. Can the services speed up response time because minutes are critical, especially when someone is experiencing a heart attack?
These towns cover a lot of area, so the study will see if there is a better way to access the three local hospitals: Baystate Mary Lane Hospital in Ware, Wing Memorial Hospital in Palmer and Harrington Hospital in Southbridge.
"We're going to analyze all that," Ms. Pierce said. "We're going to analyze the road miles and intercept points (for ALS)."
West Brookfield Selectman Mark A. Long said the towns bordering his hometown are similar to West Brookfield in that they are really spread out, with lots of area to cover, making it difficult for ambulance service to reduce response time.
"Between the towns that touch West Brookfield, there's five or six of us; it's about 140 square miles they have to cover if you were to regionalize with everybody around us. Obviously, that's not going to happen, but you can start by picking a few other communities to come on board for a better service," Mr. Long said.
He said this may be the first study of its kind aimed at improving an important service to the entire area. He backs it 100 percent and hopes the end result will be improvement.
Ms. Pierce said the effort is intended to bring people with a common goal together.
"Most of it's working now, but it's looking into the future to make sure it continues to work," she said.
The study will also determine if it would be worthwhile to share the assets of the various ambulance services, including ambulances and personnel.
Mr. Long said the emphasis has to be on the patients' emergency needs.
"We're looking to get the best service to work with surrounding communities where we don't have to spend a ton of money. Saying we're not going to share services doesn't make any sense in this world anymore."

10 Once-Bankrupt Companies Primed for a Comeback (Update 1)
9. Ally Bank
Once the auto-finance arm of General Motors (GM), Ally Bank received multiple bailouts during the financial crisis totaling $17 billion, which represented a big chunk of the auto industry bailout.
Still 73.8% owned by the U.S Treasury Department, Ally Bank filed papers for an initial public offering in March 2011, which Detroit News said could be in the $6 billion range. However, problems at the company's insurance unit called ResCap have made an initial public offering look less likely, according to February reports from Reuters that indicate the company is now considering an outright sale.
Analyst estimates of the value of Ally Bank provide valuable insight for investors, should the Treasury decide to go ahead with a share sale. A $6 billion share issue would also be one of the largest IPO's, potentially larger than the much hyped Facebook listing. The company is split into three units that have synergies. Ally Bank provides stable funding for an auto-lending unit, while its insurance arm goes nicely with the finance business as an added in-dealership product. However, a government breakup may split the units into separate sales, according to Reuters reports and a KBW analysis. Ally Bank could see strategic interest from lenders like CIT Group, who would find the banks roughly $1 billion in deposits to be a strong funding source for their commercial lending businesses, according to KBW. Additionally, Ally Bank could draw interest from a traditional bank looking to bolster deposits. "We calculate that the maximum value would roughly be a 2% deposit premium, which equates to a purchase price of around $1 billion," wrote KBW analysts in a February note. The auto finance unit of Ally Bank may garner the attention of some of the largest U.S. banks like Wells Fargo, JPMorgan, Capital One (COF), Discover Financial Services (DFS), Huntington Bancshares (HBAN) and US Bank (USB), all with the balance sheets to make a sizeable acquisition, says KBW. At the end of 2011, the North American auto finance unit had $54 billion in consumer loans and leases and an additional $32 billion in dealer loans, according to its financial statements. KBW analysts also note that the once GM-owned car lending arm still operates in 74% of the company's dealerships and in 63% of Chrysler dealerships. With both General Motors (GM) and Chrysler reporting strong sales growth, Ally Bank's auto finance assets may warrant a premium-price in a takeover or an share sale. Ally Bank's insurance unit has the most well documented sale plans, with reported interested parties that include Warren Buffet-run Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A), however the business has been a hindrance to the Treasury's IPO plans. In February, Ally and four of the nation's largest banks including JPMorgan, Bank of America (BAC), Wells Fargo and Citigroup (C) agreed to a $25 billion settlement on the litigation. That litigation iced a spring 2011 IPO. Previous Ally owners like Cerberus, which had large Ally stakes prior to government bailouts still have significant share positions. Cerberus owns 8.9% of Ally Bank, while General Motors Trust has a 5.9% stake and General Motors has a 4% holding. With strategic value to Ally Bank's deposit taking and auto lending businesses and some legal uncertainty removed on legal liabilities, the government may find that now is the time to exit its stake.

The contest is open for submissions from now until May 1st, 2009, at 11:59 pm Pacific time. Winners will be announced on Monday, May 18th, 2009.
Submissions are accepted as YouTube videos or brief documents, all to be uploaded online.
Judging will once again be based on three basic criteria:
• Relevance – how well does it solve a real-life problem for people living with diabetes?
• Clinical Efficacy* – how realistic and applicable is this product from a medical standpoint?
• Aesthetics – it's the look and feel, Baby! How appealing is the pure design?
*Note that the "Most Creative Idea" category will reward the most visionary entry, even if it's not quite ready for prime time from a clinical efficacy standpoint.
Learn more of the details at the following links:
ABOUT THE CONTEST (story and background)
IN THE NEWS (past media links)
On the contest home page, you'll also find many links to get your creative juices flowing: last year's entries, last year's winners, and info on the unique Charmr product prototype.
In the words of Aaron Kowalski, Research Director of the Artificial Pancreas Project at the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF): "We can't overemphasize the impact of design innovation in the lives of people with diabetes. Desirable form factor, ease of use, and potential incorporation of diabetes tools into other devices – like cell phones – all have the potential to transform diabetes management and quality of life for millions of people."
Right!! And remember, your concept doesn't have to be entirely high-tech; good design can be applied to anything, even something as "simple" as a special diabetic carry case.
Let the innovation begin!

Someone pointed out that this is an old picture, doesn't matter. He was golfing this week and the point still stands. He wears Cargo shorts and I'm deporting myself.

[iOS, Android, and Others] New versions of Opera Mobile and Opera Mini help you track data usage
Posted By Ashraf On November 3, 2011 @ 6:09 PM In Android,iOS,Mobile Mania,Software Updates | 1 Comment
[1]On PC Opera arguably has one of the most underestimated browsers. On mobile platforms, however, Opera browsers flourish. With excellent useability and handy features – such as Opera Turbo [2] – Opera is as an excellent choice of alternative browser for those who don't like the built-in browsers that come with their devices. A recent update to Opera Mobile (v11.5) and Opera Mini (v6.5) brings a feature that I am sure many will appreciate: Data usage tracking.
In the age of data caps, it very useful to be able to see how much data you are consuming. Of course there are apps solely dedicated to helping you monitor network data usage [3] so one may question why a web browser needs such a feature. While that is a valid point, being able to see how much data you consume while specifically surfing the web – or alternatively knowing how much data you save by using Opera Turbo – has a usefulness in of itself.
To use Opera's new data usage tracking feature all you need to do is back sure you have the latest version of the browser (v6.5+ for Opera Mini and v11.5+ for Opera Mobile; data usage tracking is available on all the platforms Opera browsers are available on including but not limited to iOS, Android, BlackBerry, and Symbian); data usage tracking is automatically enabled – in fact it doesn't appear that you can disable it, even if you wanted to – and is available via the Help window:
When reading the data usage statistics, the Received size is the important stat; that tells how much data you have consumed. Original size and Received size are split up like they are so as to market the usefulness of Opera Turbo. If you have Opera Turbo disabled both Original size and Received size will be the same. However, if you have Opera Turbo enabled, then you should notice Received size being considerably less than Original size because Opera Turbo serves cached (i.e. smaller size) pages from Opera's servers [2] to speed up web browsing.
If you don't have Opera Mini/Mobile already, you can grab them from the following links:

NATO, after year of tip-toeing, promises a plan to defend its small, eastern-most members.
NEW YORK — Back in the darkest winter days of the Cold War, the scenario which struck fear into the hearts of NATO military planners was not, as most accounts would have it, the sudden Soviet Blitzkrieg into West Germany. NATO always knew such an attack would quickly overwhelm its conventional forces and lead to a gradual trip up the nuclear escalation chain.
Moscow knew that, too, and so for 40 years NATO and the Warsaw Pact glowered at each other across the Iron Curtain, but the attack never came.
But in the early 1970s, staff officers at "SHAFE" — NATO's Supreme Headquarters Allied Forces Europe in Brussels — hit upon a shocking problem. What if, instead of following NATO's playbook, the Soviets seized tiny NATO member Denmark? Would the United States, which nominally held back the Red menace with its "nuclear umbrella," really risk Armageddon over Denmark?
That same dilemma, moved forward several decades and east by some 500 miles, haunts the alliance today. Late last month, reports from NATO suggest that, after years of tip-toeing around the question, NATO is finally working on an actual contingency plan for defending its smallest and most vulnerable members: Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia.
The impetus for these reports — leaked by NATO officials to European correspondents — appeared to be the decision of Baltic leaders to go public with their fears at a regional summit in October. "We've been members of NATO for five years, but as alliances we still have no defense plan for emergencies," Lithuania's President Dalia Grybauskaite complained to reporters. Given Russia's conduct in Georgia the previous summer, she said, this was more than a technicality.
A long way from Tipperary
The three Baltic states were ruled by the Soviet Union from 1939 to 1991, their independence was one of many casualties of the 1939 Hitler-Stalin pact. The U.S. and other western powers never recognized Moscow's absorption of them during the Cold War, and when the Soviet Union collapsed, the three moved quickly to apply for NATO membership, which all of them attained in 2004.
The Baltic concerns about NATO's security guarantees — the so-called "Article V" promise for all members to come to the aid of any other who is attacked — were shrugged off by many in NATO until 2008.
But Russia's invasion of Georgia, another former Soviet republic which was seeking NATO membership, cast a new light on Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's frequent use of the term "ex-Soviet sphere of influence." Putin has publicly said he ranks the collapse of the USSR as among the great tragedies of the 20th Century — a comment that rankles and worries the tiny democracies that managed to escape Moscow's orbit.
While the Georgia war ended with most Russian forces withdrawing, and certainly involved a good bit of foolish policy on the part of the Georgians, it also stopped dead a long-running American effort within NATO to allow Georgia and Ukraine to join the alliance under expedited terms.
For the Baltic states, who watched with dismay the lack of support the West offered Georgia during the conflict, the war raised a host of uncomfortable questions. The "Denmark scenario" of the 1970s is one of them. But other, more historically minded residents point to an older example. If Russia's foreign policy continues to harden — if Putin ever moved to resurrect the "Union" he misses so badly — the Baltics wonder if they might be cast adrift by the West to prevent a wider war, as France and Britain did to Czechoslovakia in 1938.

He will be missed, it is a shame that he was black-balled by the media. In case anyone missed it I would highly recommend reading Chris Hedges' analysis of the censorship of intellectual life in America in Death of the Liberal Class. As for myself, I had better get to reading the classics and those works by Mr. Vidal that I have as yet missed.
It is my pleasure to contact you through I want to know more about you and have good relationship with you.
I am not always on due to my limited time but you can leave me a message. I wish if you can write me through my email address.
(nancyaharauka2000 @ y a h o o . c o m)
Thanks Nancy
I have just a few small quibbles with what is otherwise a fair-minded and nicely written piece. First, it is almost certainly inaccurate to say that "it irked [Vidal] not at all" to have his work ignored by the NYT and other organs of the mainstream press. Vidal's biographer, Fred Kaplan, had access to the diaries Vidal kept during those years; apparently the literary firestorm that broke out after the publication of "The City and the Pillar" caused its young author "anguish." Even without this piece of evidence, we know how distressed Vidal was by his being blackballed, because he never stopped referring to it. He made it clear to interviewers over the years that he felt the powers that be had tried to destroy him as a writer and had nearly succeeded. I am inclined to agree. Vidal survived a literary murder attempt, but he was seriously and permanently maimed as a result.
A second point pertains to his WASPness. Vidal was not Anglo-Saxon and was only nominally Protestant. His mother, née Nina Gore, belonged to a clan of Scots-Irish Southerners. His father's ancestry was traceable, I believe, to Italy and the Austrian and Swiss Alps. Vidal's only connection to Protestantism, so far as I am aware, was being christened by the rector of the St. Albans school, an Episcopal (i.e. Anglican) prep school in Washington, D.C. The basic cultural flavoring of his adult life seems rather Catholic to me.
One final point: He repeatedly gave his name as Eugene Luther Gore Vidal.
This otherwise sound obituary is soured by the writer's petty off-hand description of the 'dwarfish fetus-faced Capote'. To include such a vindictive and cruel remark--entirely unwarranted--within a tribute to Gore Vidal is both distasteful and infantile. It is the vocation of an obituary writer to appraise, in a respectful manner, the life and times of the recently deceased. The obituary is not, and should not be, a pedestal for writers to cast off ad hominem attacks on other individuals like the writer has so deplorably done here.
"Pale fetus face" was Vidal's own description of Capote. I think the obit writer can only be faulted for not making this clearer.
Aristophanes was never a part of Plato's Symposium; you must mean Alciades of Syracuse, most certainly
Vidal WASP?
Sounds more Latinate than AS to me.
I never thought he'd do it.
" ... left-wing for a WASP."
Plenty of American WASPs were/are left wing (e.g. Upton Sinclair, Bill Haywood). The head of the Socialist Party of the United States was a Protestant minister, Norman Thomas.
Indeed a great man who opened my eyes to the true nature of the political systems we have in the West's pseudo-democracies. To him I dedicate my blog, Ahmed's Universe, many posts of which are inspired by his thoughts or bear the spirit of his analyses. If only citizens read him more, this world would be a better place: we'll be able to force our rulers to listen to us rather than do the bidding of big business, banks and special interests.

Immigration reform: Can the GOP really win Hispanic votes with a flip-flop?
And some Republicans, in addition to Democratic counterparts, are considering reforms that would give illegal immigrants a defined path to citizenship. If the Department of Homeland Security can manage to secure the borders to lawmakers' satisfaction, illegal immigrants could "come out of the shadows, get biometrically identified, start paying taxes, [and] pay a fine for the law they broke," Sen. Lindsey Graham (R) of South Carolina said on CBS's "Face the Nation" on Sunday.
Senator Graham continued, "They can't stay unless they learn our language, and they have to get in the back of the line before they can become citizens. They can't cut in front of the line regarding people who are doing it right, and it can take over a decade to get their green card."
But even with a GOP-sanctioned immigration reform, more Hispanics would not necessarily vote Republican. J. Christian Adams, a former Justice Department voting rights attorney, has argued forcefully that compromising on immigration may seem logical, and may even be the right thing to do, but is not likely to lead to any broad shifts in the Hispanic vote.

Barbary Coast Trail, San Francisco, California
San Francisco
Tel: 415 454 2355
Tel: 415 454 2355
Concierge.com's insider take:
When San Francisco was a bustling port, the colorful neighborhood of brothels, saloons, and lodging houses frequented by sailors was known as the Barbary Coast. The Barbary Coast Trail connects 20 historic sites, including the birthplace of the Gold Rush, the U.S. Mint Building, the oldest Asian temple in North America, and a Silver King mansion. Begin this 3.8-mile trail at Mission and Fifth streets and follow the path marked with bronze medallions set in the sidewalk. Maps and official trail guides can be purchased at visitor centers and local bookstores, and the San Francisco Historical Society sponsors various tours of the trail.

This year we decided to devote one and a half of our raised beds to
to artichokes. They really seem to like it here! These are the "Globe" variety of artichokes. The first crop of the late spring produced small artichokes in abundance. About a month later they were producing artichokes about three inches across. The seam to attract earwigs. That really creeps me out. It's easy to get them out. We just put the artichokes in a bowl of water and the earwigs leave. Earwigs don't seem to ne able to swim. They die in the water very quickly.
We like artichokes. Steaming or boiling them with salt and some fresh rosemary and garlic is always an easy way to enjoy them. Par boiling them, cutting them in half, brushing them with a little olive oil and grilling them also makes a wonderful summer side dish.

Cruise trends for 2013
Image 1 of 5
Viking Freya
The trend in 2013 cruising isn't the usual big-bigger-biggest. Most ships being added to cruise lines this year are designed for river cruising, carrying fewer than 200 passengers. Viking River Cruises is introducing 10 new longships on its European routes. The Viking Freya, pictured on the Danube, is similar in design to the new ones.

The weekend was off to a great start at Whiteman AFB this weekend, with beautiful weather and large crowds, who were out enjoying the sunshine and impressive static displays, which included the B-2 Stealth Bomber.Two members from Tandem Team joined Gold Team for the weekend, and were able to take Katie Horner, the Chief Meteorologist from KCTV Channel 5 News of Kansas City, on a tandem Saturday morning, and were also able to supplement Gold Team on the remaining jumps this weekend.
But despite the running start out the gate, the weather caught up with the Team on Sunday. After a storm front rolled in, resulting in a lower altitude jump on Saturday afternoon, the Team woke up to 300 foot cloud ceilings and one mile visibility on Sunday. But true to the unpredictability of the Midwestern weather, the skies cleared up and the Team was able to perform their full show later in the afternoon. It's been a great weekend here at Wings Over Whiteman, and hopefully the Team will be able to return here in the 2011 season.

Diagnostic Cytology Hematology of the Horse
Diagnostic Cytology Hematology of the Horse By Rick L. Cowell, Ronald D. Tyler
Publisher: Mosby 2007 | 260 Pages | ISBN: 0323013171 | File type: PDF | 48 mb
A practical reference that presents common clinical findings in an easy-to-use text/atlas format. Following a general chapter on sample collections and techniques, the remainder of the book takes a "systems" approach, followed by chapters on specific types of fluid. Within systems chapters, normal findings are presented first. Then, abnormal findings are presented by "class" of problems, such as bacterial lesions, fungal lesions, parasitic lesions, and so on, in the case of the eye. Algorithms (flow charts) on sample evaluations enhance text discussions by guiding readers to the most likely cytologic diagnosis. In addition, there is a colour plate section featuring 64 illustrations for quick viewing and comparing cell types and infectious agents. The detailed index will aid utilization of this edition as a quick photographic and textual reference.

Despot 02. Boi 03. Eat Shit (Waterfalls Mix) 04. Enriquel 05. Housecapella 06. What A Mess 07. Deep Cut (Live Edit) With his second release for Planet Mu this year, Dream On is more of a full length outing for Ital aka Daniel Martin Mccormick and a much more substantial record than the popular and critically acclaimed Hive Mind. On Dream On Ital takes his experimentation with house and techno forms even further, creating impressionistic deconstructions from the tropes of early house and techno. Sunny chords, laid back drum shuffle and rhythmic vocal loops. Unpicking and threading them with a rich psychodrama of dreamy textures and whooshing chords and uneasy dissonance and roughness. Ital's perfectly situated and open enough here to blend together key elements of sound that make his music unique and appealing, the dreamy ambience and drums of house with dub's sense of smearing and fracturing and an understanding of distortion. Despot starts the album with a trancey bassline is punctuated with off-key vocal stabs the form of the track gently prized apart with pitchshifting seasick chords. Bois mix of loops and chords over frantic drums is tainted with sorrow, it's got a nervous energy, always feeling like it's going to topple in on itself,. Eat Shit (Waterfalls Mix) is broken and distressed techno, making the most of distortion and echo to create shimmer and splinters of noise over rough drums. Enrique strips things back to a cavernous ambience with slowed down vocals, and a heartbeat drum, building into a pulsing tone and scratching noise pulling across the spectrum. Housecapella is deep house smudged and deconstructed into weightlessness. What a mess sounds like music rotting, running wilting notes and a hysterical vocal speech through effects to create a strange curdled epic track. Deep Cut finishes the album rubbing warm, emotional deep house tones and shuffling drums and claps against harsh electric guitar-like drones. Dream On takes you out of the ordinary. Artist: ITAL Title: HIVE MIND Label: PLANET MU Release Date: March 6th 2012 Listen & Buy 01. Doesn't Matter (If You Love Him) 02. Floridian Void 03. Privacy Settings 04. Israel 05. Final Wave If you've heard Daniel Martin-McCormick's name recently, it would probably have been either in association with his disco/punk/echo band Mi Ami, or as Sex Worker on the Not Not Fun label, or finally as Ital on NNF's sister label 100% Silk, recording quite different sounding house music to this album. Now based in Brooklyn, but raised in Washington DC, Daniel has a history in that city's hardcore scene, he was in the Dischord records signed Black Eyes, but was also making dance inspired tracks at the same period, but coming from a very different angle from your average guy with a copy of Logic and a working knowledge of dance music's history. Daniel's music is a stranger thing. Working best at high volume, it uses house's easy going 4/4 structure as a kind of camouflage for more out-there sonic explorations; subverting expectations, seeking out the links between the space and the sound-bending of dub & industrial's unsettling sonics with the grooves of classic house and the effects and black holes of minimal at it's weirdest. The album has a sculptured feel; sounds twist in space, feeling almost three dimensional and melodies pitch-shift in an unsettling way; voices dissolve in and out of these frameworks and the whole album has a unique, haunted feel; nothing is ever allowed to settle totally comfortably, everything vibrates. Hive Mind's titles also hint at such themes as how culture insinuates itself on you and the meaning of pleasure, it's ironies and forms, drawing in creeping fears of the internet age.
Opener Doesn't Matter (If You Love Him) sounds a bit like Tackhead if they had made house music, using a flickering and confidently repeated phrase over a lumbering drum and bassline, introducing swirling and bombing synths into the mix once the secret comes out. Floridian Void's strange marrying of treated voices and swelling, pitch-bent chords and effects draws the listener into its strange atmosphere; it's an ambient house track of sorts, but the ambience here is a swirling, confusing, watery vortex rather than being fuzzy and new age. Privacy Settings builds creepy wolf howls over a slow bassline and cold faraway banging drums, estranged from their usual disco setting. Next, Israel picks things up again, with weird, pitch-shifting edited bells over dubby toms, all the while cold chords rushing in and out over this unsettling backing track. The closer Final Wave restores the album back to something resembling normality, with a disco-like swing that recalls Moodymann's beat down productions but slid through brutal dub-like FXs that bring out a shade of strangeness in an otherwise happy groove.

I'm researching the following surnames: Smithson, Thompson, Secrest, Hatcher and Rucker, all of whom arrived in Virginia in the 1600's. The emigrant's names which I have so far are; John Smithson, William Hatcher, Peter Rucker. I'm not sure of Secrest and Thompson, although research has disclosed that Catherine Thompson, one of my ancestors, was the daughter of Francis McNairy, 1796 Constitutional Conventional Delegate and U.S. District Judge for Tennessee.Also searching for Lackey, Woolsey, Jackson, Howell -- I'm uncertain of port of entry into the USA, time of entry sometime around the 1700's. The first location I have for the Lackey family is in the Shanandoah Valley of Virginia. My Jackson ancestor who married a Lackey came from Georgia. The Howells and Woolseys are a mystery, other than the knowledge that they were in Texas in the 1880's. Also, Julius Samuel Morel who came from Paris, France according to his daughter, my grandmother Rosa Emma Morel Smithson. |

Product Description
Kenmore 5.8 cu. ft. Electric Range - More Even Baking
The Kenmore 5.8 cu. ft. electric range 9424 offers faster cooktop heating with 5 heating elements that can easily be adjusted for different sized pots and pans. The Turbo Boil Flex feature brings water to a boil more quickly than traditional elements, while the warming zone allows you to simmer and keep cooked food warm until ready to serve. The spacious oven unit features more even and consistent baking with its true convection style heating method, using a fan and hidden element to cycle hot air through the whole space. A variable broiler lets you capture that perfect brown for meats and veggies.
- True Convection combines a powerful fan with a hidden heating element to spread heat evenly, helping bake, brown and crisp everything from turkeys and roasts to brownies and pies.
- The Turbo Boil FLEX element combines a single high and low wattage element to deliver rapid heat and slow warming so you can warm, boil and simmer without moving the pot.
- The triple ring element delivers 1,200-3,000 Watts of power and matches its heat source to 6-, 9- and 12-inch cookware, giving you quick, even heating that saves time and energy.
- The variable broiler lets you set the broiler anywhere between 350 degrees and full broil, for a wide range of meats, melts and meals.
- Durable and sleek, the ceramic glass cooktop adds a modern look to the kitchen while cleaning spills easily, fending off scrapes and avoiding damage from dropped utensils.

Those benefits were not conditioned on the positive or negative content of the review.
We purchased a similar range 2 years ago and we love it. Our model has 6 knobs on the top, one is for the warming drawer. The only thing I wish these convection ovens could do, is run the fan without any heat so that I could use it as a dehydrator with just the oven light on. The light heats up the oven compartment to 100-110 degrees, but with the air not circulating, it turns into a steam box, which is great for proofing yeast doughs, though. Please consider a "fan only" option for future models so they can be used as a dehydrator, too.

We had an old electric range and were pleasantly surprised by the features on this new model. The true convection feature works nicely to cook faster. I love the turbo boil feature that really heats up water fast.

The controls are easy to reach and operate and understand. The burners on the glass top heat up fast and work good. This model has a warming drawer which was very nice when making Christmas dinner. The oven seems to cook evenly, the broiler worked great. The true test will be when we make a cake, which always seemed to fail lately in the 30 year old oven. Could have been the cook? Maybe? Overall, this range has been in operation for two weeks, and we give it five stars, for both functionality, and appearance.

Manual for Indoor Residual Spraying: Application of Residual Sprays for Vector Control (3rd ed.) The objective of this handbook is to ensure the safe and correct application of a residual insecticide to indoor surfaces on which vectors may rest. Indoor residual spraying is extensively used, especially for malaria and Chagas disease vector control. However, vector control programmes frequently lack well-trained field staff to apply the insecticides and to maintain the application equipment. With good skills and quality application equipment, hazards to human health and the environment, as well as financial losses, can be avoided. It can be used as a model to develop training materials in the countries.(31/Dec/2006) In English WHOPES en español WHOPES
