Innate immunity represents a trait common to plants and animals, based on the recognition of pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) by the host pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). It is generally assumed that a pathogen strain, or race, may have elaborated mechanisms to suppress, or evade, the PAMP-triggered immunity. Once this plan was successful, the colonization would have been counteracted by an adaptive strategy that a plant cultivar must have evolved as a second line of defence. In this co-evolutionary context, adaptive immunity and host resistance (cultivar-pathogen race/strain-specific) has been differently selected, in animals and plants respectively, to face specialized pathogens. Notwithstanding, plant host resistance, based on matching between resistance (R) and avirulence (avr) genes, represents a form of innate immunity, being R proteins similar to PRRs, although able to recognize specific virulence factors (avr proteins) rather than PAMPs. Besides, despite the lack of adaptive immunity preserved plants from autoimmune disorders, inappropriate plant immune responses may occur, producing some side-effects, in terms of fitness costs of induced resistance and autotoxicity. A set of similar defence responses shared from plants and animals, such as defensins, reactive oxygen species (ROS), oxylipins and programmed cell death (PCD) are briefly described.

Following an intensive four-day shootout in Austria, 18 drivers have won places in the FIA Institutes Young Driver Excellence Academy for 2012. The drivers come from a variety of racing disciplines and will all take part in the fully-funded training programme, which aims to help drivers develop their motorsport careers.
They are: Mohamed Al Mutawaa (18, UAE); Klaus Bachler (20, Austria); Andrea Bate (22, South Africa); Craig Breen (21, Ireland); Andrea Caldarelli (21, Italy); Gabriel Chaves (18, Colombia); Jonas Gelzinis (23, Lithuania); Michael Klitgaard Christensen (21, Denmark); Jack Le Brocq (19, Australia); Michael Lewis (20, USA); Alexander Lynn (18, UK); Jose Andres Montalto (21, Costa Rica); Ramon Pineiro (19, Spain); Brendan Reeves (23, Australia); Pontus Tidemand (20, Sweden); Timo van der Marel (22, Holland); Sepp Wiegand (20, Germany) and Lewis Williamson (21, UK).
"This selection event has demonstrated the breadth of young driving talent worldwide, explained Richard Woods, director general of the FIA Institute. We are delighted to be able to help develop that talent further and in the right way, with the focus not just on performance but also on safety and excellence."
The 18 will now be coached 'in the car' by former Formula One race driver Alex Wurz and his team from Test and Training International, and 'out of the car' by former World Rally Champion co-driver Robert Reid and his team from Elite Sports Performance.
"It has been really good to meet these drivers, who have arrived here from around the world but have all demonstrated the same hunger to succeed, said Reid, FIA Institute performance manager. They've been through lots of rigorous testing which has given us a great understanding of what makes them tick. I'm really looking forward to working with the chosen Academy drivers over the next year."
Fellow FIA Institute performance manager Wurz added: "Over the course of the four days we have been looking at every area of driving skill. We have broken this down into its composite parts, such as steering input, braking input, throttle input, and into combining all of this behind the wheel. Overall, these guys have demonstrated a lot of talent. They are also all very coachable and they have a good understanding of what we are after. I'm really looking forward to a good cooperation with the new Academy drivers."
Over the next year, the 18 drivers will attend a series of workshops covering all aspects of driver performance and safety. The driving elements of the course include the development of technical skills, safety training, attitudes and awareness. The human performance aspect will feature physiology, psychology, nutrition, media skills and career management.
The first Academy workshop will take place from December 10-14 in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)Supreme Court to tackle affirmative action, gay marriage and voting rights
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
October 1st, 2012 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) The Supreme Court is gearing up for a new term that will hear a host of highly important cases that will drastically impact American life. Among the cases to be decided will be major rulings about affirmative action, gay marriage and voting rights. LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - After upholding President Obama's health care overhaul, the same court lineup of justices' returns to the bench this week.Chief Justice John Roberts has joined the court's liberals in sustaining the health care law. The big cases this time around seem likely to have Roberts in his more accustomed role of voting with his fellow conservatives. A battle over the University of Texas' affirmative action program is the first major case on the court's calendar, with argument scheduled for October 10. Texas uses multiple factors, including community service, work experience, extracurricular activities, awards and race, to help fill the last 20 to 25 percent of the spots in its freshman classes. The court's decision could further limit -- or end the use of racial preferences in college admissions. This highly contentious matter of gay marriage will be addressed by the court. Several cases seek to guarantee federal benefits for legally married same-sex couples. A provision of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act deprives same-sex couples of a range of federal benefits available to heterosexual couples. Some federal courts held that that the provision of the law is unconstitutional. It's a given among most court watchers that the Supreme Court will step up to the plate on the issue. A separate appeal is asking the justices to sustain California's Proposition 8, the amendment to the state constitution that upheld marriage as between one man and one woman and refuded to alter the definition in the nation's largest state. It must be noted that justices may not even consider whether to hear the gay marriage issue until November. The future of a cornerstone law of the civil rights movement is also a hot button topic of discussion between the justices. Congress overwhelmingly approved in 2006, with President George W. Bush's signature, legislation extending for 25 more years a critical piece of the Voting Rights Act. The act requires states and local governments with a history of racial and ethnic discrimination, chiefly the southern states, to get advance approval either from the Justice Department or the federal court in Washington before making any changes that affect elections. Cases from Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina and Texas could prompt the court to deal head on with the issue of advance approval. The South Carolina and Texas cases involve voter identification laws; a similar Indiana law was previously upheld by the court. Arguments in these issues will not take place until next year.

Mick Jagger is understandably heartbroken by the sudden death of his longtime girlfriend L'Wren Scott on March 17. While his band members are rallying around him, he reportedly hasn't been sleeping and is having a hard time speaking! So horrible.
Mick Jagger is completely distraught after his girlfriend of 13 years, L'Wren Scott was found dead in her NYC apartment after committing suicide. He has now flown back to Los Angeles with his two children and is working on funeral plans. His family and friends, including the Rolling Stones have been doing everything they can do to help him, as he is "not well."
Mick Jagger Heartbroken, Not Sleeping
"He is totally devastated and just wants to be surrounded by his family. We have never seen him so despondent and are extremely worried about him," a friend of the 70-year-old singer told the Mirror. "He didn't sleep after being told the news. How could you? Like anyone, he is wrestling with how it happened and if he could have prevented it."
Mick knows there is nothing he could have done to stop the horrific tragedy, but the source added that he's just running through his head the last time they saw each other.
"Of course, there is nothing he could have done but that doesn't stop him feeling utterly tormented by the turn of events," they added. "Every waking moment he's been thinking of their last hours and days together and if he could have spotted any warning signs. It's all terribly sad."
The Rolling Stones Rally Around Mick
Of course Mick's second family is his band. The group was in Australia when the news broke and canceled the next leg of their tour to be there for their friend.
"He's holding up. He's okay," Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts told MailOnline on March 19, before admitting, "He's not really well. He's not really here. It was such a shock."
"This is such terrible news and right now the important thing is that we are all pulling together to offer Mick our support," guitarist Ronnie Wood added, while Keith Richards chimed in, "No one saw this coming. Mick's always been my soul brother and we love him. We're thick as thieves and we're all feeling for the man."
We wish Mick and his family all the best during this tough time.

Ditto! It is ALL about Mick. He "dumped" her by ordering her NOT to go on current world tour. All other wives and GF go. None of Stones liked L'Wren. Called her "Yoko Ono. Jaggers kids and ex Hall called her "the black spider". Shunned by Jaggers family no matter how hard she tried. All claimed "Jagger was no fun and too reserved when she was around" Had no kids no business, blew 15 tears of life w/Jagger and alone. Had nothing. Bur, all about Jagger and HIS grief. Well,

thank you Martha.
You're right, no autoeroticblahblahblah here. I think Mr. J knows exactly why she chose this horrific method over other less painful, difficult ones. Methinks she's sending a PERSONAL message involving intimate knowledge /connection. Only HE would get / understand it…
Posted at 12:31 PM on March 29, 2014
Totally agree. Now he has to live with himself and think about it. Very sorry she chose this route but she clearly wanted to get a message to him that he left her with no lifeline after he rejected her unvoiced pleas for money to bail her out. Reportedly she was a profligate spender and he wanted to punish her. No winners here. Just looking at the facts folks.

A couple of days later, we were back at Hacienda Cusin—the rare example of a place that has been restored into complete comfort with no accompanying glitz. I was sitting in one of the courtyards, having a chat about fanesca with the chef, Marco Yanez, who had provided us with a particularly splendid example on Good Friday. An explanation of its preparation makes fanesca sound like something that should appear on an absolutely accurate menu as Potage Labor Intensive. It must include 12 grains and beans, to represent the 12 apostles—each ingredient soaked and cooked and dried and peeled separately. The base, salt cod cooked in milk, is thickened with peanuts; naturally, it's mandatory to start with raw peanuts, then toast them, then peel them, then grind them. I could see why fanesca is eaten only during Holy Week: When some frantically slurping teenager calls out, "Mom, can we have this again next week?" it stands to reason that Mom, her fingers sore from peeling corn kernels and fava beans, would answer, "Talk to me in about a year, buster."
Fanesca must be, among other things, a restorative: With a couple of bowls of it under my belt, I was able to begin my next lunch by enthusiastically polishing off a shrimp ceviche and a hearts of palm ceviche. Even while I was eating the ceviche, though, I found myself calculating how many more fanesca opportunities I'd have before Easter Sunday. I couldn't help wondering if, assuming the labor-cost issue could be sorted out, some restaurant in New York—maybe even some restaurant in lower Manhattan—might be induced to put fanesca on its menu. In New York, of course, there'd be no reason to be overly strict about the custom of serving it only during Holy Week. When the ingredients were available, a sign on the restaurant would announce hoy fanesca!

Credit card debt falls alongside credit scores
January 23, 2012
A robust holiday shopping season apparently led some Americans to delay extra debt payments during December, but that didn't prevent the nation from ending on a high note. Despite a slowdown in debt payments at the end of 2011, all 50 states ended the year with less credit card debt than when the year began.
According to a recent report issued by CreditKarma.com, credit card debt declined 11 percent nationwide last year. However, it wasn't all good news. Credit scores saw a decline during that time as well.
Average credit card debt at $6,576
Overall, the news on debt was positive for 2011. According to the report, debt loads in four out of five categories remained steady or declined:
- Credit card debt declined 11 percent to an average of $6,576
- Student loan debt declined 9 percent to an average of $26,272
- Home equity debt declined 4 percent to an average of $47,905
- Home mortgage debt held steady at $173,876
- Auto loan debt increased 2 percent to $15,504
While consumers seemed to make strides in reducing their debt obligations, the holiday season seemed to curb payments. According to December data, only nine states saw their consumer debt reduced from the previous month. In addition, the decline was less than one percent in six of those nine states.
Of the states that saw an increase in credit card debt from November to December 2011, the jump was greatest in Delaware and Rhode Island. Those states saw a five percent increase in credit card debt bringing their averages to $7,423 and $6,388, respectively.
Credit scores drop in 2011
Credit card debt wasn't the only thing dropping in 2011. The report also found that credit scores were on the decline as well. Last year, the national average fell eight points to 660. California, Massachusetts and New Jersey were all tied as the states with the best consumer credit scores with an average of 679. The state with the lowest average score was West Virginia at 637.
A consumer's credit score is used by lenders to determine eligibility for loans and lines of credit. Those with lower scores are considered a higher risk and more likely to be charged higher credit card rates. They may also be denied credit or given less favorable lending terms.
Scores can range from 300-850, and factors such as total debt, type and age of credit accounts and late payments are used to determine an individual's rating.

Raptisoft has released an absolutely massive update to Solomon's Keep, one of our favorite games so far this year. This 2.0 release packs in as many improvements as we often see between sequels on the App Store.
In addition to general bug fixes and common sense optimizations, the dungeon has been lengthened, new skills have been included, and new difficulty levels have been added. Also, "challenges" have been explicitly built in so that you can test yourself by trying to beat the game quickly, without potions, or without dying, etc. Most of these improvements seem geared towards players who already own the game, but they will provide even more longevity for those that have not tried it yet.
So far we are very pleased with all of the additions, and delighted to see that the game continues to be supported.
Just be aware that because of the many changes to the game, installing the update will erase your existing save file. If you are near the end of a playthrough that you would like to finish, we recommend doing that before installing the 2.0 update.
Solomon's Keep epitomizes the adage "less is more." Some iPhone games try very hard to emulate their big brothers on the PC or videogame consoles. While the iPhone is certainly capable of supporting very complex games, sometimes it's the more streamlined "pick up and play" games that end up wasting most of our time. Solomon's Keep unashamedly strips away the complexity of a dungeon crawler until it almost feels like an arcade game, but still maintains enough RPG credibility to justify replaying it over and over.
First off, this is not a remake of the old-school classic "Solomon's Key," which was a side-scrolling puzzle-based platformer. Solomon's Keep is a top-down, twin-stick dungeon crawler. This means you can expect to press through floor after floor of enemy-filled dungeons, leveling up, and finding gold and magical items.
While it is structurally very similar to games like Diablo 1, its simplified leveling system and action-focused controls make it feel more like something you'd find in an arcade cabinet than on a home PC.
Roll out the welcome mat.
The game itself is not very long and can probably be beaten in around an hour. In this case, that is not necessarily a bad thing. There are multiple distinct upgrade paths that you can follow, and each one feels different and has varying strengths and weaknesses. This variation justifies playing through a few times to see how the different skills and spells can be used.
In addition, the game awards you a rating and detailed stats about how you performed after completing the game. These features, combined with the shorter run time, let you test different strategies until you find a winning combination.
If you have been intimidated in the past by games like Dungeon Hunter you should have no fear giving Solomon's Keep a try. There are no different classes, no skill trees, and no attributes to add points to. You have three slots to equip your wizard, and when you level up you just need to select one of three random skills to learn or upgrade.
Both the layout of the dungeon and the purchases available in town are random, so each playthrough will be somewhat different than the ones before. The shorter nature of the game is also such that you won't necessarily feel bad tossing a character and starting over if things are not going your way.
This meeting of alarmed wizards is now in session.
Solomon's Keep doesn't drop the ball when it comes to the presentation, either. The graphics and audio are engaging, and the interface is intuitive enough to learn quickly. The game is also very good about saving your progress, so if you die or have to turn off the game quickly, you won't lose more than a few minutes of progress.
The story is sparse, and the dungeon can get a bit repetitive. If you are counting on a strong narrative or constant changes of pace, you might want to look elsewhere.
We think this game will resonate with a lot of people. Those who are overwhelmed by more fiddly RPG systems will welcome the relative simplicity of Solomon's Keep. Gamers who enjoy longer and more detailed games will probably find the shorter and more sandbox-like nature a welcome change from their usual fare. Solomon's Keep does a great job of balancing the addictive loot-hunting and upgrading of an RPG, along with the quick-hitting challenge of an arcade game, making it an easy game to recommend.

Boneless Cross Rib Roast
Opinions, please. While I have always been told that a cross rib roast should be treated as a pot roast (i.e., long, slow, moist cooking), as I was doing a search today I found several postings (not at GardenWeb) in which several posters insist that it can be cooked to medium rare or even rare with excellent results.
The idea is to marinate the roast for a day or so with balsamic vinegar as the base of the marinade, which is supposed to help tenderize it. In a saute pan, brown the roast on all sides, then put into a low/slow oven (200 - 250 degrees), using a meat thermometer to determine internal temperature to desired doneness. Remove from oven and let the meat rest for 15-30 minutes before slicing it across the grain.
I would love to believe this, as I would like to serve a roast for a gathering of 10 people this Christmas, but cannot afford a prime rib roast of that size.
I wonder if any of you have tried something like this with a cross rib roast and what your results were.
And even though I will be using a meat thermometer, could any of you give me a ballpark for the length of time approximately, for an 8 lb. roast? I would hate to have it completed cooking at 3:00 if dinner isn't until 5:00, so any help would be appreciated.
Cross rib roast in deed is rather tough and is normally used for pot roast or stew.
That said, it can in fact be cooked to medium rare or even rare with excellent tender results.
The key is cooking it at very low temperature for a very long time.
I have not done a cross rib roast recently, can't find it here in NYC. However, I routinely cook the toughest cuts such as brisket, bottom round, etc medium rare and have fork-tender end results.
I am fortunate that I have a sous vide cooker which can keep exact temperature for the entire long cooking period. Sometimes it takes 48 to 72 hours of cooking time.
In your case, an accurate digital thermometer and an oven that can keep low temperature more or less accurately, you can try to cook the roast at extreme (but safe) low temperature for a long time, and blast the roast with 500 F to get a crusty exterior at the end. While cooking, you can keep cutting a tiny piece off to test taste if the meat is tender enough.
Dcarch, thank you for the information. Can you venture a guess as to approximately how long this 8 pound roast would need to cook at a low temperature? As mentioned before, I don't want the roast to finish cooking several hours before dinnertime, or several hours after either.
The theroy behind cooking meat at very low temperature and very long time is complicated, but you don't have to go into all the details to end up with a wonderful end result.
Here is a direct quote from another forum where there are many interests in this topic. Just to be clear, cooking at 133f will require a very accurate temperature control. If you are doing it in a regular oven, you may want to go higher and also check the temperature frequently:
" My cross-rib roast was a big success. So, here are the details. Cooked at 133F for 18 or 20 hours. Then given crust in a medium hot pan with some olive oil. I wanted to make sure that the outer fat got crispy -- so the browning was in medium hot rather than smoking hot pan like I usually use to sear post-sous vide. It worked out nicely.
This was a boneless roast and I snipped the twine and unrolled it before putting it into the bag since I realized that the deboning might have introduced contaminants. (The roast was 4.5 inches thick rolled up so I decided to err on the side of caution).
Anyway, the result was great. This medium-quality fairly inexpensive roast ended up tasting like a much higher-quality roast. It was fork-tender without being mushy. And made for amazing sandwiches the next day. "
When the boys were growing I roasted cross ribs frequently. If I saw one with some marbling I knew it would be good. But today with commercial grade beimg sold in most stores it's another story. I wouldn't buy if it's solid bright red with no fat veins (will be tough).
Preheat oven to 425 F. Cook 30 min. Reduce temp. to 325 F. and bake acoordimg to linked chart (the USDA site calls for 23 min. per lb. for rare). Boneless 8 lbs. will be in the vicinity of 3 hours. A meat thermometer is a must for me as well as a rack so the bottom won't overcook. Carve thin slices.
Here is a link that might be useful: http://www.txbeef.org/chefs_tips
Just thought I'd let you know that the roast was excellent! 24 hours before popping it in the oven I covered the roast with rock salt and let it sit uncovered in the fridge. Took it out of the fridge a couple of hours before roasting to let it come to room temperature. I put it in the oven at noon (dinner was to be at 5:00) at 225 degrees. At 3:00 it hit 130 degrees and I was a little worried that it would be overcooked by 4:30, which is when I was planning on taking it out of the oven. So, I just turned the oven off and left it in there with the door slightly ajar. I got everything else done and then at 4:30 I took it out of the oven. It now registered 140 degrees. I gave it a quick sear in a saute pan and sliced it. Perfection. Very little gray and a nice medium rare all the way through. I thought at least the end caps would offer a little more done for those who liked that, but it was superbly and consistently medium rare. Of course, being a cross rib roast it wasn't the same as a prime rib, but was actually quite tender. Now that I have done it once, I won't mind spending a bit more on a better cut of meat next time. Thanks for your help.

In this book, Galbraith rounds up instances of financial booms and busts, starting from the Tuliopomania in the mid-1630s to the stock market crash in 1987. He cites two primary factors as being the cause of this financial euphoria: the brevity of financial memory and the association of wealth with intelligence. About the former, Galbraith remarks:
There can be few fields of human endeavor in which history counts for so little as in the world of finance. Past experience, to the extent that it is a part of memory at all, is dismissed as the primitive refuge of those who do not have the insight to appreciate the incredible wonders of the present.
Another common factor is the thought of a new and rewarding opportunity that the participant hopes to exploit.
In analyzing the past instances of financial euphoria, Galbraith attempts to demonstrate the recurrence of these common features, and hopes that the vulnerable reader will be warned. The list includes the Tulip Mania in Holland (1637), the Mississippi company and Banque Royale flouted by John Law in France (1720), the South Sea Company in England (1720), a series of bubbles in the US (1819, 1837, 1857 and 1873), the Great Depression (1929), and Black Monday (1987).
It is often easy to argue in hindsight about the factors responsible for such bubbles. Nevertheless, this book offers a remarkable insight into the various bubbles that have plagued the financial world over the centuries. To investors easily swayed by novel financial instruments that are little understood, Galbraith appeals through this book, to err on the side of caution.

Postgraduate Finalist in Arts ContestDate: 20 March 2009 A Lancaster University student is a finalist in a national arts competition. Colette Lawlor, who is studying for an MA in Creative Writing, is a finalist in the Poetry category of a competition organised by the arts magazine Aesthetica. Colette's poem 'On the Way to the Exhibition' can be found in the Aesthetica Creative Works Annual 2009.Colette, who lives in Silverdale and teaches creative writing at the Adult College in Lancaster, said her MA in Creative Writing at the University is a huge help. "There is a lot of reading your own work to other writers and getting feedback so it's very useful. You can gauge other people's reactions and see how your writing is perceived so it's invaluable."On the Way to the Exhibitionwe stepped onto the nearly missed bus, that I'm sure was green,aimed for the side-seats,the ones where you face other people,lurch forward with each turn, grin.As she sat, a coloured shop-frontpeeped from my mother's coat.Plastic laminate, worn dailyand easy to keep cleanwith cartoon rows of shops - grocer, butchers, bakery - vendor at each door, waresdrawn into windows.I remember, because it was my favourite one,and she turned wide-eyed to me,concealed the forgotten apron,on that bus I recall being in Liverpoolbut she always says was Southampton. Colette was inspired by poetry after taking an Open College course, and now has plans for a novel.The competition is open to entries of fiction, poetry and artwork and the winner of each category will be awarded a prize of £500. Winners and runners up will be published in the 2010 Aesthetica Annual. The magazine is the only British arts publication to address the arts as an interdisciplinary whole, with features on the visual arts, literature, film, music and theatre. In 2008 Aesthetica launched the first Creative Works Competition to dedicate an entire volume to new and upcoming talents, culminating in the publication of the 2009 Aesthetica Annual.Aesthetica's 2008 Competition was judged by Cherie Federico, Creative Writing lecturer Kate North, and national journalist David Martin. Cherie Federico said: "I've always loved finding new writers and learning about new artists so the competition has been a real eye-opener. Furthermore our 2008 competition proved to be a major springboard for many of the finalists involved so I'm hoping to nurture some new careers in 2009."

Heparin: Prevention of Blood Clotting
Guest: Dr. David Kurtz - Division of Basic Sciences/Pharmacology, MUSC
Host: Dr. Linda Austin – Psychiatry, MUSC
Dr. Linda Austin: This is Dr. Linda Austin. I'm interviewing Dr. David Kurtz, who is Professor of Pharmacology at the Medical University of South Carolina. Dr. Kurtz, could you explain, first, what is heparin?
Dr. David Kurtz: Heparin is an anticoagulant. And that means it prevents blood from clotting. It is a very simple sugar, polysaccharide; meaning, many sugars hooked together. It has a very simple way that it works. Blood clotting occurs when a protein called fibrinogen is converted to a protein called fibrin. Fibrin is what the clot is. Fibrinogen is converted to fibrin by another enzyme called thrombin. Now, there are naturally occurring proteins that stop thrombin from acting. These are called antithrombin, just as the name implies. Antithrombin has a certain affinity, ability, to bind to thrombin. When you add this sugar called heparin, it makes the antithrombin bind to the thrombin about a thousand times better. So, you stop clotting from happening.
Dr. Linda Austin: For what clinical reasons will a doctor prescribe heparin for a patient?
Dr. David Kurtz: Patients who have had a tendency to have clots in their veins, sometimes called phlebitis, and patients who have clots in their lungs; pulmonary embolism, would be injected with heparin. The important thing about heparin is that it can't be taken orally, because it's not absorbed; it's digested. The advantage of heparin is that it has a very rapid onset of action. It starts working right away; as soon as you inject it. You have to inject it intravenously, not intramuscularly. So, patients who have a tendency to have clotting happen are given IV injections of heparin. And this is only done in the hospital on an inpatient basis. Heparin is not given by prescription on an outpatient basis.
Dr. Linda Austin: Now, I'm sure the concern, currently, is whether this issue with the possibly contaminated supplies from China will lead to shortages in the United States. If that were to be the case, what could be substituted for heparin?
Dr. David Kurtz: In terms of a rapid-acting drug, there really isn't anything. There are many oral anticoagulants that are used. The most common is called Coumarin. So, heparin is given while the patient is in the hospital, and then the patient is slowly withdrawn from heparin and put on Coumarin, or an oral anticoagulant. However, the oral anticoagulants act much more slowly. They take almost a week to start working.
I wouldn't say that heparin is a common molecule. It's made from pig intestines. In the old days, they used to actually get it from cow lung. And I think you still could if you needed to. It's not clear to me that there's going to be a shortage. But, in terms of its rapid-acting ability, there's really nothing that's as good. It certainly is cheap, and is controllable. There are some substitutes that have been tried over the years, some of which, believe it or not, are from the medicinal leach proteins, which, as you probably know, prevent clotting. Those have not been as effective as heparin.
Dr. Linda Austin: In the New York Times article, reference was made to earlier concerns about mislabeling.
Dr. David Kurtz: Yes. There was apparently a problem with mislabeling, where there were vials that were supposed to be what were called multidose vials. That is, they were supposed to be given over several days. And the hospitals were either misreading or not paying attention, dissolving the vial up and giving it as one dose, which was, effectively, a massive overdose. By the way, I should mention that the problem with an overdose of heparin is you get internal bleeding. Because it's so effective at stopping blood clotting, it will stop the clotting from happening even when it should be happening. There is a fairly common antidote, called protamine sulfate. That just binds the heparin and prevents it from acting.
Dr. Linda Austin: But there's indication from the bits and pieces of information we have at this point that that may not be the current issue, because people are actually becoming ill.
Dr. David Kurtz: Correct. Apparently, from what I can gather, there's some contaminant in the current source of heparin. The contaminant could be a protein. It, I suppose, could be a toxin, although that's very unlikely. The reason I say it could be a protein is that heparin is initially synthesized in the pig, attached to proteins. And then, in the normal course of making heparin for therapeutic use, the sugar is removed from the protein, and it's only the sugar that's used. It's conceivable that, if they were being sloppy, they would have large amounts of protein still around. What that can do, certain people would be allergic to it. And the reports are that the deaths are due to some allergic reaction. So, it's actually probably not to the heparin itself. It could be to some contaminant that's contained in there.
Dr. Linda Austin: Dr. Kurtz, thank you so much for talking with us today.
Dr. David Kurtz: You're welcome.

"These little beauties smoke forever"
This smoke is great!!!! The best I have had so far. Although at first I was put off by the size thinking that even if the smoke was good, given the fact that it was so expensive, it wouldnt last long. But when I lit this baby up, I realized that I had been smoking for about 1 1/2 hours before I put it out AND the taste was great. Aroma was very attractive to the ladies as well. This out smoked my favorite.... the AVO Domaine #20.

Yay! New work by Efi. This is going to seem off the wall, but my very first impression was to recall the attenuated limbs and branches in some of Egon Schiele portraits and landscapes. That's quite a leap, I know, but it is where my imagination took me. Be that as it may, I think this is beautiful.
Thank you, for the warm comments! :) It's been a while, since I last posted. I've been working too hard... Only thing, I could think of lately, was sleep! It's nice to be back! :)
This is gorgeous, that black rectangle in the middle is so intriguing, it's like midnight itself and the rest is the fever all around it.
I love this. it has a modern and ancient feel to me. Fire and dragons and the placement and forms oriental artwork.
Thank you Deepti, Marko and Tracey! KunstFabrik, thank you so much! Heather, I love the way you see things. You have quite an instict! Angela, you have the ability to recognize things and use all the right words... It was there, but I hadn't realized... Fire and dragons! :D

So this is a post that I think is kind of overdue. My life as a medical student's wife is not rainbows and butterflies, by all means. I love being married and I love my husband so much, but we don't have a typical newlywed life. The week before an exam, I often think I could paint the house lime green, and he wouldn't notice. He stays in his cave from 5-11pm every night with usually only a 1 hour break {for dinner}. Sometimes he'll finish at 10, and we can watch a show really quick, but that's rare.
Sometimes it's hard to see other friends, family, or bloggers who have husbands who get home at 5pm everyday. I even think how lucky the women with husband's in law school are for having one year less. The hardest part of doing all this is knowing that these are some of the "better" years since it will only get more busy from here on out uuntil he is out of residency and fellowship.
I often try not to think about it too much, but Joel will be finished with his first year of medical school {YAY JOEL, So Proud of You!!} on Friday, and I can't help to think how quickly it's gone by and how fast the "busier" time is coming. I am a very futuristic person, so it's hard not to imagine what it will be like. So, instead I try to focus on other things that will be happening during those years. For instance, myself going back to school, starting my photography again, hopefully opening a boutique, and starting a family. It kind of is easy once I'm distracted and thinking of those exciting times. So, for now, that is my cure. I am not sure if it will stop working, but maybe it will help others who may be going through the same thing.
Onto SURVIVAL MODE. Here is a week in the life of ME, and how I keep busy during exam time.
What I actually did:
laid on the couch & watched netflix most of the day.
Then moved outside to a folding chair and sunbathed.
Came back in and amused myself with Pinterest.
Played with Rayne
Cook bubble up enchiladas {check!}
Watch the Bachelorette {check!}
Do some Laundry {check!"
Respond to blog emails {almost a check!}
Read 50 Shades of Grey {didn't quite get to that due to blog emails}
**Tuesday will be slightly different now that sweet little Rayne is in the hospital for a mystery illness.
Cook Spaghetti {20 minutes}
Watch American Idol
Put away laundry
Respond to blog emails
Read 50 Shades of Grey {going to do it tonight}
Probably won't see Joel tonight, besides for dinner. Last night's animal hospital trip kind of threw things off.
A long walk with Rayne if she is feeling better
Dinner w/ a fellow med school wife !
Watch American Idol / Blog
Read 50 Shades of Grey
Pack for trip to LOUISIANA!
Pushing it, but maybe 45 minutes of hang out time with Joel when he is done studying
Leftovers {20 minutes hang out time}
Laundry Pack Laundry Pack
Carrie Underwood jam session
Load up car
50 Shades of Grey
I'm going to guess 30 minutes total hang out time with Joel after he is done studying.
JOEL IS DONE WITH SCHOOL @ 10:30am
After 10:30am we are Louisiana bound see our friends and family! We have not been home since Christmas!
As you can see, I've found some new TV shows to get addicted to, that take up time on 3 days of the week. All the things you read from my "plan" I do alone. Occasionally, Joel will help with the clean up because he feels bad, but other than that, it's me a little Rayne.
Honestly, you may read this and think how terrible it is, but I am so used to this schedule that it almost feels normal. Often I get too engulfed in something, and he will come out of his cave and want to hang out, and then it will be me saying wait, "5 more minutes".
A lot of ladies message me about my life as a medical student's wife, so I thought it was about time to post some personal stories about my experiences with it.

1998 Toyota Tercel 2 Dr CE Coupe Review
by tempest350 |
"The 98 Tercel was one of the best cars I have ever owned."
I used to own a 1998 Toyota Tercel, and if you do find one for sale you might want to consider it. Mine was a teal green color, with a grey interior and 4 spd. manual transmission. When I bought it it had 70,000 miles and was about 2 years old. I sold it about 5 years later, with about 132,000 miles on it, and this car had never stranded me once or...

PHOENIX -- Police are asking for help finding the suspects involved in an armed robbery at a Phoenix pawn shop.
Four males entered the Super Pawn near Indian School Road and 67th Avenue shortly after 3 p.m. on May 30.
One of the suspects stood at the door and pointed a gun at employees while the others smashed display cases and took jewelry.
The suspects fled in a car that possibly was a silver Chevrolet Cavalier occupied by two other people.
The suspects are described as black males, 16 to 20 years old, wearing bandannas over their faces and armed with handguns.
Police have released surveillance video and photos in the hopes that someone will recognize the suspects.
Anyone with information on the suspects' identities or whereabouts is asked to contact Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS or silentwitness.org.
A reward of up to $1,000 is being offered for information that leads to an arrest.

Not For Conservatives Only — on The Brewster Gang

On this week's Brewster Gang, Eric Allen Bell, Dwight Schultz and Susan Olsen gathered to discuss Not For Conservatives Only. The discussion focused on why mostly conservatives are confronting the truth about Islamic totalitarianism — while the Left shows complete indifference. Below is Part I of a three part series. We will run Part II in tomorrow's edition.

Sugarloaf Chairlift Derails Sending Skiers 50 Feet To the Ground
CARRABASSETT VALLEY, Maine —A chair lift derailed at Maine's tallest ski mountain Tuesday, sending skiers plummeting 50 feet to the slope below and injuring several people, officials and a witness said. The Sugarloaf resort in Carrabassett Valley, about 120 miles north of Portland, said on its Facebook page that there were about eight injuries and that its patrols were evacuating the lift. Jay Marshall, who was on a lift next to the broken one, told The Associated Press that both lifts stopped, then restarted. Almost immediately he saw a problem, then heard screams. "The lift started again. I looked to my left and could see the cable bouncing up and down. I could see that the cable had come off the (track wheels)," he said. The spot where the cable jumped its track was about 50 feet above the snow. Some skiers tumbled from their chairs, he said. "Once the thing started bouncing up and down beside me, I stopped looking. I didn't want to see it, honestly," Marshall said. "It was terrifying." A spokeswoman for Franklin Memorial Hospital about in Farmington said two injured people were on their way and it was possible more injured people could arrive.
And this my friends is why I don't like skiing. Just something about the idea of freezing my dick off while wearing boots that kill my feet, having 50 mph winds cutting across my face, carrying a shit ton of equipment all over the place just so I can get tossed off a chair lift 50 feet to the ground isn't my cup of tea. No thanks. I'll stick to lying by a pool and checking out chick's asses instead. Bottomline I've never heard of a guy ending up naked dangling from a chairlift before while drinking a Strawberry Daiquiri on the beach.

NORFOLK, Va. (December 2011) – Sentara Healthcare is donating $10 million to Eastern Virginia Medical School to support two initiatives that will build on EVMS' strength in medical simulation and the treatment and safety of older patients.The donation represents the largest endowed gift in the school's history.This gift will create two $5 million endowments to support operations in the newly renamed Sentara Center for Simulation and Immersive Learning at Eastern Virginia Medical School and in the EVMS Glennan Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology. EVMS is a pioneer in adapting simulation to medical and health-care training, and the Glennan Center is a focal point for care, research and education focused on older adults."Sentara has been a longstanding partner and supporter of EVMS. This endowment represents a legacy commitment to a cornerstone of the medical community in Virginia and the nation. This endowment will assist in providing world-class simulation training to clinicians and will long ensure a continued focus on the needs of the aging population in our community. We are glad to be part of the history and growth of EVMS as a well respected medical institution," says David L. Bernd Sentara Chief Executive Officer.Harry T. Lester, president of EVMS, praised Sentara Healthcare for its generosity and its leadership."This gift is a great testament to the partnership between EVMS and Sentara. We are grateful for the proactive support Sentara has offered in two areas that are of critical importance in health care today. EVMS is a leader in medical simulation and in training physicians and health-care providers to understand the unique needs of older adults. The support of our efforts by Sentara is an important next step."The Sentara Center for Simulation and Immersive Learning at EVMS is one of only a handful in the country that integrates task trainers, computerized manikins, virtual interfaces and standardized patients (people trained to portray patients) to create more realistic training scenarios. The additional resources from the Sentara endowment will help the center develop into one of the world's premier sites for medical simulation.EVMS makes extensive use of simulation throughout its medical and health professions curriculums. One entire floor of the school's new Education and Research Building is dedicated to medical modeling and simulation.Sentara will use the center to train physicians and clinical staff in simulated team-based care models, advancing patient safety and care delivery.The EVMS Glennan Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology focuses on prevention, intervention and research involving age-related diseases. Glennan Center physicians also are extensively involved in education, helping the next generation of health care professionals understand how to care for older adults. Virginia Glennan Ferguson made the founding gift to establish the center in 1996.The Sentara endowment will provide for the creation of a program in geriatric patient safety. This collaborative effort focuses on improving treatment and safety in the elderly and successfully transitioning these patients from the hospital to home or another care facility. The endowment also supports the potential establishment of a safety-oriented Sentara Fellowship.Robert M. Palmer, MD, director of the EVMS Glennan Center, is a nationally known authority in geriatric patient safety. He was the principal investigator on a landmark study of an intervention, the Acute Care for Elders (ACE) Unit, which was shown to enhance the health outcomes of hospitalized older patients. ACE has been widely adopted in the U.S., Canada and Europe.

Make a board game demonstrating all the reasons why clean water resources are so important.
Compile a chart to show ways that plants, animals, and people use water. Find out how much water is essential to sustain life for selected species. How much does a cow drink in a day? How much do humans use? Identify sources of water in various climates. What are some obstacles to obtaining water? (drought, low water tables, floods, lack of transport) Find out how water is moved and stored in various parts of the world (truck, pipes, irrigation canals, dams, aqueducts, ground water, lakes). Discuss the importance of clean water, and consider the possibilities of desalinization.
Work in small groups to create original board games called "Water Is Essential to Life." Teams demonstrate their knowledge of water resources as they select a geographic setting (desert, Arctic, rainforest, farm, city, local community), identify obstacles to obtaining water (with spaces on the board or trouble cards), and offer solutions for getting enough water to where it is needed.
Teams design a board game, and any cards needed to play it, on poster board or recycled cardboard using Crayola® Markers and Scissors. Make three-dimensional game props, such as markers, dice, playing pieces, and elements of the setting with Crayola Model Magic. Use Crayola Watercolors or Tempera Paint and Brushes to add details to the game, such as dots on dice or directions on cards. Use Crayola School Glue or Glue Sticks to attach pieces.
Test play the games and write the rules on paper with Crayola Colored Pencils.
Rotate playing games with less experienced children, so everyone gets to play all the versions. Together, discuss information gained about the world's water resources.

With the abundance of vegetables coming in right now, it's hard to choose a favorite. However, when I saw those bushels of artichokes at the farmer's market this week they beckoned to me.
The first written record of artichokes dates back to the Greek philospher Theophrastus (371 -287 B.C.), who recorded their cultivation in Italy and Sicily. The Salinas Valley in California is the artichoke capital of America, though in the summer they are grown here on the east coast.
Martha Washington's Booke of Cookery contains a 17th century recipe: To Make Hartichoak Pie. And that is what I set out to do.
In this recipe, frozen artichoke hearts may be used instead of the fresh, just be sure there are no additives.
Bottom Crusted Artichoke Pie
Ingredients for crust
- 1 1/2 cup almond flour from soaked, dehydrated and blanched almonds (where to buy almond flour)(how to make soaked almonds)
- 1 – 2 tablespoon raw honey (where to buy sweeteners)
- 3 tablespoon ghee or butter softened (how to make ghee)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt (where to buy sea salt)
- Glass pyrex baking pan – I used a 7.5 x 9.5 and the batter fit nicely in the bottom (where to buy a glass pyrex baking pan)
- large fry pan for cooking the bacon
- Parchment paper (where to buy unbleached parchment paper)
- Pizza wheel (where to buy)
- pastry brush (where to buy)
Instructions for crust
- In a food processor process the almond flour and the honey until well mixed
- While the food processor is running, drop in small pieces of the softened ghee or butter until the dough starts to make a ball
- (It may not form a perfect ball, but that is OK — if the dough looks too wet, add a little more flour one tablespoon at a time)
- Remove from processor and place in a greased oblong baking pan that is lined with parchment paper (be sure the bottom and sides are well greased)
- Work the dough into the bottom of the dish only — no sides
- Paint the crust with the egg white that you reserved, if you are doing so — see below
- Pierce the dough with a fork all over the bottom
- Place in oven at 325 degrees F for 15 – 18 minutes or until just lightly browned
- Remove from oven and cool
Ingredients for filling
- 8 ounces of artichoke hearts (fresh or frozen — defrost if frozen)
- 6 – 8 eggs (pastured if possible) — reserve a little egg white to paint the crust to seal it
- 4 strips of bacon (sugar and nitrate free)
- 1 leek thoroughly cleaned with the greens cut off
- 3 stalks of scallion
- 4 clove garlic
- 3 tablespoon coconut cream( where to buy coconut cream)
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley chopped fine
- salt and pepper to taste (where to buy spices)
Instructions for the filling
- If you are using fresh artichokes, boil a large pot of water and drop them in. Roll them around once in awhile in the water so that both sides are done evenly. Take one of them out of the water after about 20 minutes and pull the bottom leaf. If it detaches easily, it's done. Sometimes it takes up to 45 minutes for the larger, tougher ones
- Let the artichokes cool a bit, then peel away the tough outer leaves. Scoop out the choke (the inner hairy part — do not eat this) with a spoon and discard. Cut the heart in half (what's left) and then chop into small pieces. Make sure the leaves are not tough — is they are, peel more away
- In the fry pan cook the bacon and drain on paper toweled plate
- Chop the leek and scallions into small pieces
- Mince the garlic and parsley
- Saute the leeks and scallions in the bacon grease — adding the garlic at the last minute
- Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk
- Add the coconut cream and whisk
- Add the artichokes, leeks, scallions, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper and whisk
- Crumble the bacon and mix in
- Pour this batter onto the crust
- You can paint some egg white onto the crust to help seal it a little — however, the crust will absorb the moisture of the batter and will be flaky
- Bake in 350 degree F oven for 25 – 30 minutes or until set
- Let cool
- With a pizza cutter, cut squares and serve hot or cold
