Mumbai: The gang-rape of a young photojournalist in Mumbai on Thursday evening has ripped into the city's reputation as a progressive metropolis where women feel safe.
World | India
Gang-rape a huge blow to Mumbai reputation
Incident has ripped into the city's reputation as a progressive metropolis where women feel safe
One solution for making it safer for the women is to make the punishment harsher for the gang rapists. It is also required to find out why people resort to this type of acts. Are they desperate and neglected in the society so that cannot afford to have legal encounter with women. Until the root cause is treated the rapists will not stop .
Peter Smith, Brampton, Canada
People are quick to point out Bollywood as the prime cause of such atrocities, without pausing to analyze. I am watching the same Bollywood stuff, and so are millions of others in India and worldwide. I don't get the tendency to rape anyone, and neither do the rest of the millions. Bollywood is just entertainment, vulgarity is just a matter of personal perspective. Some might argue that not everyone will see it that way, and take it as a free-for-all-access to women when they see "item songs" on screen. Well, there lies your answer, the root of all this: the "mentality" of these sick beings that commit rape. Don't scapegoat Bollywood or women's clothes or anything else for that matter. The real cause is a sick, deformed, evil mind. Education is the key. Everyone should be taught to respect women, no matter how they are dressed, no matter what time they are out, no matter if they are alone. And those that still commit the crime should be severely punished publicly as a strong deterrent for future villains.
Tousif Saleh, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
I read today three rape cases from India (may be many more, but i did not noticed). My strong opinion is Indian cinema playing a large role to such a incidents. every Hindi films and Malayalam, Tamil & Telugu movies are releasing very vulgarly nowadays. I had sent many emails to the film certification authority and political leaders, but none of them not ready to respond. while watching such exposive films, human will get temptation to have sex and it is natural. so the only one way is to control such films by law.
Mohammad Shafi, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
the rapist should be killed imm or death by the government , our government is sick we should not vote if they cannot protect women's. the crime is expanding every day and women are not safe in India they should give the rights to women for keeping the gun for their safety. this rapist can be hanged in public so next time all the man get get fear of raping the girls.
Anamikalakhiani, Mumbai, India
Why this happens in India, only thing to say is now everything works over money, even the law which is made in country are boycotted by the money power, peoples are well supported by the politicians, these need to be changed, rather politician must be changed, Hang these wild creatures let it be a lesson for everyone, give respect and take respect.
Babu, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
The major problem lies in the extensive scenes of obscenity dished out to the Indian audience by Bollywood. Todays bollywood movies especially the songs are much more repulsive and obscene than an adult Hollywood movie.Its funny how the authorities or any activists apparently seem to find nothing wrong with this.Anyways its their funeral.
Zaid, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates
The young woman in question was out on assignment, accompanied by a male colleague, taking photographs in the Mahalaxmi-Lower Parel areas of Mumbai. The mill they had gone to was derelict and deserted but not far away is a road famous for its traffic jams and a much-used commuter train station.
They were approached by some men on a pretext, separated; he was tied up and assaulted while she was gang-raped by five. By Mumbai standards, 6.30pm is not very late. The sun sets around 7pm at this time of the year.
Mumbai's pride in itself as being cosmopolitan and liberal has taken several beatings in recent times. Crimes against women have been rising. Just last week an American aid worker had her face slashed in a commuter train. Women are cautious about wearing gold jewellery in public because of a rise in "chain-snatching" — gangs on motorcycles pull chains off their necks. But Mumbai is also a city with a high proportion of working women of all classes and this gang-rape will now create another kind of fear.
Comparisons are often made with Delhi. India's national capital has never had a good reputation when it comes to its treatment of women. The women of Delhi have been forced to become aggressive in public and take precautions.
Unfortunately, it looks like women in Mumbai can no longer be as carefree and sanguine as they used to. Mumbai is already just second to Delhi in the official crime rate figures when it comes to rape. Delhi still has more rapes — 414 to Mumbai's 194 in 2010 according to National Crimes Record Bureau figures – but Mumbai's rates have been rising every year.
There is an argument that crimes against women always happened but were under-reported. That may well be true. But rapes that happen in public are slightly different from atrocities committed inside homes. And a gang-rape in a public place in daylight signifies a complete lack of fear of the police and the law and order machinery. It is symptomatic of a breakdown of all those systems which help us pretend that we are civilised.
The fact that Mumbai has regressed to such an extent is not just distressing — it emphasises that the problem is dire. The women of Mumbai cannot stop going to work. They cannot stop travelling in trains at all hours. Regardless of the helpful suggestions of Maharashtra's home minister R.R. Patil, women journalists cannot call for police protection every time they have to go out on assignment.
Instead, Patil and his fellow politicians would serve the city better if they examined how policing in Mumbai and Maharashtra has deteriorated over the years. Earlier this week, Narendra Dabholkar, a well-known activist trying to get a bill against black magic and blind faith passed, was shot dead in the city of Pune. He was out for a morning walk.
Fortunately, the Mumbai police have not behaved as high-handedly or as foolishly as their counterparts in Delhi after last December's gang-rape in the capital that shook the nation.
But both rapes point to the same problems. There are elements in society who cannot bear women to be independent. And the law and order machinery is not feared across the country, at least not by perpetrators of crime.

from The Advisor's Professional Library- Privacy Policies and Rules Whether an RIA is SEC or state-registered, the firm must have policies and procedures in effect to protect clients privacy. Policies and procedures should explicitly require an RIA to send out its privacy notice each year.
- Nothing but the Best Execution Along with the many other fiduciary obligations owed by RIAs, firms owe a duty to seek best execution of clients transactions. If they fail to do, RIAs violate Section 206 of the Investment Advisers Act.
The House Financial Services Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations said Tuesday that it would release on Thursday its report, "The Collapse of MF Global."
"Our investigation is essentially an autopsy of how MF Global came to its ultimate demise and what policy changes need to be made to prevent similar customer losses in the future," said the subcommittee's chairman, Rep. Randy Neugebauer, R-Texas, in a statement. "We must restore confidence and integrity to the futures markets and send a strong signal to customers that their accounts are safe and secure."
The subcommittee says its investigation has involved three hearings, more than 50 interviews and the review of more than 243,000 documents obtained from MF Global, its former employees, federal regulators and other sources.
"MF Global customers deserve to know how and why their funds went missing; market participants deserve to know whether regulatory lapses have been identified and corrected; and taxpayers deserve to know that policymakers and regulators have been held accountable," Neugebauer said.
In late August, prosecutors dropped their criminal investigation into the former Goldman Sachs head/governor of New Jersey/disgraced MF Global CEO, Jon Corzine. The New York Times also reported at the time that Corzine might start a hedge fund.
Corzine testified before a House Committee last December, stating that he "apologized both personally and on behalf of my company" for both MF Global's failure and for the nearly $1.2 billion in client funds that appear to be missing. "I simply do not know where the money is," Corzine testified, "or why the accounts have not been reconciled to date."
MF Global sought bankruptcy protection late last October, one week after reporting its biggest-ever quarterly loss.

Counterfeiters Beware - Bill to Tax Dealers in Bogus Goods Clears Assembly
Sacramento – Board of Equalization Chairman Jerome E. Horton today announced that BOE-sponsored legislation to crack down on large-scale counterfeit goods suppliers has overcome another legislative hurdle. Assembly Bill 2681 moved off the Assembly floor today. "Right now, if our investigators find a huge warehouse full of unstamped cigarettes, the law allows us to pursue the wholesaler for the unpaid cigarette excise tax," said Chairman Horton. "If we find a similar warehouse filled with knock-off designer shoes or purses, we can't go after the wholesaler for the sales tax on these items, but AB 2681 makes it lawful for us to do just that."...
Board of Equalization Chairman Jerome E. Horton today announced that BOE-sponsored legislation to crack down on large-scale counterfeit goods suppliers has overcome another legislative hurdle. Assembly Bill 2681 moved off the Assembly floor today.
"Right now, if our investigators find a huge warehouse full of unstamped cigarettes, the law allows us to pursue the wholesaler for the unpaid cigarette excise tax," said Chairman Horton. "If we find a similar warehouse filled with knock-off designer shoes or purses, we can't go after the wholesaler for the sales tax on these items, but AB 2681 makes it lawful for us to do just that."
If AB 2681 passes the Senate and is signed by the Governor, it will enable the state to impose sales tax on those convicted of trafficking in counterfeit goods at the wholesale level. Under current law, suppliers of counterfeit goods are able to avoid paying taxes, claiming their items are being sold to retailers who are then charged with collecting and paying taxes on sales to the BOE. This legislation will make them liable for the sales tax.
* * * *
Elected in 2010, Chairman Jerome E. Horton is the Fourth District Member of the California State Board of Equalization, representing more than 8.5 million residents in Los Angeles County. He is also the Board of Equalization's Legislative Committee Chairman. He is the first to serve on the Board of Equalization with over 21 years of experience at the BOE. Horton previously served as an Assembly Member of the California State Assembly from 2000-2006.
The five-member California State Board of Equalization is a publicly elected tax board. The Board of Equalization collects more than $56 billion annually in taxes and fees supporting state and local government services. It hears business tax appeals, acts as the appellate body for franchise and personal income tax appeals, and serves a significant role in the assessment and administration of property taxes.

So the gov want's their cut from the criminals??
Posted on:

First of all, rule #1 never trust a politician.
Yea they claim they are there for you, they promise you free stuff (actually stolen from someone/something else), etc.
Politicians are in office for them self and only them self alone. Everything is to directly profit and, or, increase their political power.
You always have to read the fine print to see for whom and for what a bill is for. And all the unrelated things that tack on to bills.
Already selling counterfeit goods are illegal.
It's already felony fraud.
So wow about just catch the people selling this stuff at all levels and throw them in jail?
For that matter how about stop all this cheap Chinese (where it usually comes from) junk from entering the country to begin with?
What's he's saying is the gov should get it's cut of illegal goods trafficking by charging taxes on it.
Does this make any sense to any sane human being?
Wouldn't this almost make the gov criminal (the irony) being part of a criminal organization?
And okay Uncle Sam this passes and now you are getting more income, does this mean the gov will drop my taxes accordingly?
No of course not, it will actually raise your taxes as they will hire more people to persue this.
It's just more money to feed into an ever growing, self entitled, over bearing - over spending, monopoly driven, treasonous, insolvent, and stealing beast of a government that we have now..
Like anything "so simple" a politician tells you, it never is..and you are going to pay for it. Vote NO on this, I want to keep at least some of the money I earn.

"He's poised and calm. He's running the ball, passing it. He's a threat out there. It opens things up for the passing game and the running game just with him being back there."
Cedric Humes
"[Outlook: Stang returns four starters from last year's successful team, and is looking poised for a run at an Eastern Athletic Conference championship. Meunier, Elder, and Zychowicz will lead the team, and give Kennedy flexibility at the top of the lineup. Three sophomores and five seniors may also be in the mix for Stang.] Everyone's striking the ball really well, ... We have a real solid team. Everyone has improved since last year."
Tom Kennedy
"He's just really calm. Never gets rattled. To be so young and to have that kind of poise is rare. Definitely rare."
Amani Toomer
"We calmed down and we played with poise. Once we calmed down a little bit, we were able to finish some shots."
Stan Kowalewski
"Christian County is such an athletic ball club, and they contest every pass. I was really pleased with our poise down the stretch -- we never let them get the game down to one possession."
Mike Clark
"I thought our guys showed a lot of poise when Watertown made that run. They didn't panic. We could have been in trouble had they scored two or three more unanswered baskets. That was a big part of the game. We kept working hard and eventually got the momentum back in our favor."
Craig Haase
"Jeff could have thrown up something. He kept his poise and made the extra pass. That is what this team has done all year."

Question: Does anyone know whether the coloured-in photos, which appear throughout the opening titles sequence, are real or made up for the show? If they ARE real, when George Wendt's name appears there's a shot of a man holding a newspaper with 'WE WIN' as the headline - does anybody know what this referred to?
Answer: The pictures in the opening sequences are real pictures of people enjoying alcohol (from various dates), and are not meant to represent or include any of the cast members. The "we win" sign (most likely not a newspaper headline) is referring to the end of prohibition (1933) A fitting tribute to a show about drinking alcohol.

Tough cuts ahead for East Grand Forks Schools
EAST GRAND FORKS - While job cuts will be a part of the East Grand Forks Public Schools' 2010 budget reduction, Superintendent David Pace is unsure how many or who will have to be let go.
"Right now, we're looking across the board -- teachers, paraprofessionals, administrators," he said.
Pace will work in the coming weeks to develop scenarios for both a $750,000 cut and a $1.1 million cut, figures he presented to the School Board on Monday night.

Don Williams has covered Texas Tech football as either a beat writer or columnist for all but one year beginning in 1986. That counts two seasons he spent at the University Daily. He joined the A-J full-time in 1988. He's covered around 250 Tech football games, including 17 bowls. In the 1990s, he also staffed Dallas Cowboys home games and three Super Bowls. Some of his other beats include Tech track and field and small college basketball and baseball. He was on hand in Lewiston, Idaho, when Lubbock Christian University won the NAIA World Series in 2009. Williams graduated from Midland College in 1985, following the Chaparrals to the NJCAA final four one year, and from Texas Tech in 1988. He interned at the Arizona Republic in 1987, where he spent the summer covering the Triple-A Phoenix Firebirds and future major leaguers Matt Williams, Terry Mulholland, Dennis Cook and Jeff Brantley and ex-major leaguer Dave Kingman. (Thankfully, Kingman, a renowned media hater, did not send a rat to Don in the press box.)
New Texas Tech defensive line coach Fred Tate was on the field for his first Red Raiders practice Tuesday at Jones AT&T Stadium. Tech announced his hiring shortly thereafter. Tate was on the Marshall staff the last two years, coaching safeties in 2010 and the defensive line last year. He's spent most of his career coaching defensive linemen. Tate was on the same staff with Tech defensive coordinator Art Kaufman in 2003 and 2004 at East Carolina. "We're glad to have him," Tech coach Tommy Tuberville said. "I think he fits in pretty good with us.
Tech coaches think the 6-foot-5, 282-pound sophomore Delvon Simmons will start to live up to his potential soon.
The 5-foot-7, 166-pound McRoy, who sat out last season after transferring from Florida, is one of the new toys for Tech offensive coordinator Neal Brown.
Texas Tech looks for a new kicker in sophomores Ryan Bustin - left-footed, like Carona - from Kilgore and Kramer Fyfe from Austin Lake Travis.
Defensive line coach Terry Price will be leaving the Texas Tech football staff for a job at Texas A&M -- the second time this offseason the Red Raiders have hired an assistant only to have him leave for another job in a matter of weeks.
Texas Tech lacked sufficient confidence in its upperclassmen linebackers in 2011, so the Red Raiders started two true freshmen there early in the season. In 2012, Tech coaches might not have to choose such green linebackers out of desperation.
When Texas Tech starts spring practice Friday, it might have the "Help Wanted" sign posted in regard to cornerbacks.
Tavares Garner and Devin Lauderdale, two suburban Houston recruits who happen to be cousins, are Tech's first pledges for the class of 2013.
Senior guard Rashad Sample drove the lane for a bucket with 1.88 seconds left Monday night, and LCU held off rival Wayland Baptist 66-64.
Wayland Baptist might have played its best half of basketball this season Monday night at the Rip Griffin Center, from a shooting standpoint especially. Yet, it was nothing a team on a roll couldn't withstand.

About this location
The Ionian Islands region
The island of Corfu is located just off the West coast of Greece. Corfu enjoys a mild Mediterranean climate along with excellent beaches making it a popular destination for holiday makers. Corfu is very green compared to other Greek islands: hot and dry summers along with winter rain creates lush vegetation which is dominated by over 2 million olive trees. These olive trees on Corfu are the main cultivation, although Corfu's tourism now provides the most income.
Vingla: is a traditional Greek village above Kalami, buffered from the real world by a cushion of cypress forestry and dapple shaded olive groves. But while these hide Vigla from prying eyes, they don't screen the views. Holidays here gaze down to a cluster of sleepy bays like Kalami, Kouloura and Agni on Corfu's northeast coast, all within easy reach for a day by the sea.

ABSTRACT: Free radical oxidative stress has been implicated in the pathogenesis of a variety of human diseases. The purpose of this study was to explore the degree of oxidative stress in essential arterial hypertension (EAH). The study groups consisted of fifteen untreated EAH patients (WHO stages 1 and 2), aged 40 to 70 years, and fifteen, age and sex matched, normal controls. The levels of typical peroxidation products such as malondialdehyde and 4-hydroxyalkenals (with the LPO-586 test, Bioxytech), free radicals and other reactive oxygen metabolites (ROMs) (with the d-ROMs test, Diacron), vitamin E (with HPLC method) and total antioxidant capacity (with the TAS test, Randox) were determined in the plasma af all subjects. Compared to the control group EAH patients exhibited significantly higher ROMs levels (334.7 +/- 21.6 vs 249.2 +/- 23.3 Units, means values +/- S.E.M.), and of lipid peroxidation products (10.7 +/- 0.7 vs 8.09 +/- 0.9 nmol/ml). It must be noted that such increases were not observed in all EAH patients, but above all in those less young or with more severe hypertension. On the other hand no significant difference was found between EAH patients and normal controls as regards vitamin E concentration and total antioxidant capacity. These results suggest that EAH patients, in spite of their normal antioxidant defences, are more prone than normotensive subjects to oxidative stress because of an increased ROMs production. This could result in an inactivation of prostacyclin and NO, hence an enhancement of peripheral vascular resistance and an increase of hypertension. Another consequence might be an increased lipid peroxidation of low density lipoproteins, a condition which is known to be associated with accelerated atherosclerosis. The study of oxidant and antioxidant factors seems therefore useful in EAH patients in order to evaluate oxidative stress and to correct, if possible, the observed abnormalities with dietetic or pharmacologic therapy.La Clinica terapeutica 12/1997; 148(11):515-9. · 0.33 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: It has been widely indicated that several pathological conditions depend upon concomitant risk factors rather than a unique one and that also the putative protective factors do not act alone. For these reasons it could be useful to consider subjects that present sufficiently homogeneous lifestyles (i.e. nutrition and physical activity). We carried out an investigation in a free-living community in order to clarify the possible correlations and differences among plasma metabolic and antioxidant markers in non-agonistic athletes. When subjects were divided in two main groups according to age (35-44 and 45-54 years) without considering the activity they performed, Duncan's analysis of variance revealed that they showed similar characteristics and only triglyceride levels were different. A clear negative correlation was found between vitamin E and VO2max in both age groups, a negative correlation was also found between CoQ10 and VO2max in the younger subjects and finally CoQ10 and vitamin E were also positively correlated in this first group. It appears, therefore, that people with a higher aerobic capacity have lower circulating levels of antioxidants.Molecular Aspects of Medicine 02/1997; 18 Suppl:S241-5. · 10.30 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Previous studies have shown that acute exogenous administration of coenzyme ubiquinone (CoQ10) can protect the heart against oxidant-mediated injury. The aim of this study was to investigate whether protection against cardiac oxidative stress could be obtained by increasing tissue levels of CoQ10, as achieved by chronic CoQ10 supplementation. Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups: a control group given standard diet and a test group receiving diet supplemented with CoQ10 (5 mg/kg/day) for 4 weeks. Functional and metabolic changes induced by oxidative stress were investigated in isolated perfused hearts and in papillary muscles. Tissue concentrations of ubiquinones were significantly higher in the left ventricle of treated rats than in controls. H2O2 infusion (60 microM for 60 min) induced marked alterations of both developed pressure, which decreased to -58.8 +/- 16.8% of base line and end-diastolic pressure which increased almost 13-fold. These effects were reduced significantly (P < .05) in hearts from CoQ10-supplemented rats (-13.8 +/- 2.3 and +375.0 +/- 42.5%, respectively). In the same hearts, cumulative release of oxidized glutathione (a specific marker of oxidative stress) was 450.2 +/- 69.2 nmol/g of wet weight in the control group and only 89.6 +/- 22.3 nmol/g of wet weight in treated hearts (P < .01). In papillary muscles, after 60 min of perfusion with H2O2, active tension decreased, largely in controls whereas it was almost unchanged in the treated group (-34.4 +/- 7.5% of baseline vs. -0.1 +/- 0.05%, P < .05).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics 08/1995; 274(2):858-65. · 3.86 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) levels were assayed in total seminal fluid or both in seminal fluid and seminal plasma in 77 subjects with normal or pathological findings at standard semen analysis. CoQ10 levels showed a significant correlation with sperm count and with sperm motility. An interesting exception was constituted by patients with varicocele, in whom the correlation with sperm concentration was preserved, whereas the correlation with sperm motility was lacking. Moreover, they showed an increased ratio of plasma CoQ to total seminal CoQ10 in comparison with the other subjects. These data suggest a pathophysiological meaning of CoQ10 in human seminal fluid and a possible molecular defect in varicocele patients. CoQ10 measurement could represent an important examination in infertile patients; moreover, from these results a rationale might arise for a possible treatment with exogenous CoQ10 in dyspermic patients.Journal of Andrology 11/1994; 15(6):591-4. · 1.69 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In a group of 48 chronic hemodialysis patients, serum levels of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ) have been measured and appeared abnormally low in 62% of cases. Figures were positively correlated to those of serum vitamin E (vit E), although the latter were within a normal range. The chronic hemodialysis (CHD) patients with normal serum values of CoQ exhibited higher blood triglycerides. Pathologically low levels of serum vit E were found only in uremic subjects on conservative regimen with dietary restrictions and low compliance to protein-caloric intake. The reduced CoQ levels may contribute to the defective serum antioxidant activity and the increased peroxidative damage in uremic patients on CHD.Nephron 02/1994; 66(2):153-6. · 13.26 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This study was undertaken to clarify the mechanism of the antihypertensive effect of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). Twenty-six patients with essential arterial hypertension were treated with oral CoQ10, 50 mg twice daily for 10 weeks. Plasma CoQ10, serum total and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and blood pressure were determined in all patients before and at the end of the 10-week period. At the end of the treatment, systolic blood pressure (SBP) decreased from 164.5 +/- 3.1 to 146.7 +/- 4.1 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) decreased from 98.1 +/- 1.7 to 86.1 +/- 1.3 mmHg (P < 0.001). Plasma CoQ10 values increased from 0.64 +/- 0.1 microgram/ml to 1.61 +/- 0.3 micrograms/ml (P < 0.02). Serum total cholesterol decreased from 222.9 +/- 13 mg/dl to 213.3 +/- 12 mg/dl (P < 0.005) and serum HDL cholesterol increased from 41.1 +/- 1.5 mg/dl to 43.1 +/- 1.5 mg/dl (P < 0.01). In a first group of 10 patients serum sodium and potassium, plasma clinostatic and orthostatic renin activity, urinary aldosterone, 24-hour sodium and potassium were determined before and at the end of the 10-week period. In five of these patients peripheral resistances were evaluated with radionuclide angiocardiography. Total peripheral resistances were 2,283 +/- 88 dyne.s.cm-5 before treatment and 1,627 +/- 158 dyn.s.cm-5 after treatment (P < 0.02). Plasma renin activity, serum and urinary sodium and potassium, and urinary aldosterone did not change. In a second group of 11 patients, plasma endothelin, electrocardiogram, two-dimensional echocardiogram and 24-hour automatic blood pressure monitoring were determined.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)Molecular Aspects of Medicine 02/1994; 15 Suppl:s257-63. · 10.30 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The authors prepared an experimental animal model of ischemia and reperfusion of the limbs to evaluate in vivo the reactive oxygen species involvement and protective role of coenzyme Q10 in reperfusion injury. A group of male rabbits (untreated group) underwent clamping of abdominal aorta for 3 hr and then declamping; at intervals blood sampling was drawn for coenzyme Q10, vitamin E, lactic acid and creatine kinase assays. Another group of male rabbits (treated group) underwent the same ischemia period but before declamping coenzyme Q10 was administered intra aorta. In untreated group, coenzyme Q10 and vitamin E plasma levels decreased while lactic acid and creatine kinase plasma levels increased during reperfusion. These data demonstrate that, after only 3 hr of ischemia, the extremities show a biochemical reperfusion injury, and this involves an increased consumption of antioxidants such as coenzyme Q10 and vitamin E. In the treated group, the increase of creatine kinase plasma levels during reperfusion was not significant, while the decrease in vitamin E was more marked.Molecular Aspects of Medicine 02/1994; 15 Suppl:s177-85. · 10.30 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The levels of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) were determined by HPLC in seminal fluid samples obtained from 77 patients who performed a standard semen analysis for infertility, previous phlogosis or varicocele. CoQ10 was determined in total seminal fluid (n = 60), in seminal plasma (n = 44) and in the cell pellet (n = 37). The molecule, in total fluid, showed a linear correlation with sperm count and motility. In the pellet of spermatozoa, a trend toward an inverse correlation between CoQ10 (expressed as ng/10(6) cells) and semen parameters could be observed. A different pattern was shown in varicocele patients, in whom, in total fluid, the correlation between CoQ10 and sperm count was preserved, but the one between CoQ10 and sperm motility was lacking; moreover, a higher proportion of CoQ10 was present in seminal plasma, and the inverse trend between cellular CoQ10 and sperm count and motility was not observed. These data suggest a pathophysiological role of ubiquinone in human seminal fluid and a molecular defect in the spermatozoa of varicocele patients.Molecular Aspects of Medicine 02/1994; 15 Suppl:s249-55. · 10.30 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Plasma coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is currently assayed in our laboratory for its well-known diagnostic meaning; in fact plasma CoQ10 levels are inversely related to metabolic demand. Definite levels of CoQ10 are also found in white and red blood cell components, as well as in platelets. Plasma and erythrocyte CoQ10 has a well assessed antioxidant role, which was demonstrated through a series of experiments. Erythrocytes previously enriched with exogenous CoQ10 were found more resistant to a hemolysis induced by a free radical initiator. Several enzymatic activities of erythrocyte ghosts were also protected by different side chain CoQ homologues, both when reduced and, although at a lesser extent, in the oxidized state. CoQ was not effective in preventing metal-catalyzed oxidation of erythrocyte membrane enzymes, and this effect is likely to be due to lack of interaction of CoQ with the metal target. Moreover CoQ was able to protect isolated enzymes and erythrocyte membrane bound enzymes from the inactivating effect of free radicals generated by water sonolysis or radiolysis. As far as plasma lipoproteins are concerned it is well known that LDL isolated from healthy volunteers supplemented with CoQ10 are more resistant to peroxidation induced by an azoinitiator. We started to systematically investigate CoQ10 and vitamin E levels in isolated human LDL and HDL. Both CoQ10 and vitamin E concentrations, referred to protein, were found higher in LDL than in HDL. Susceptibility to exogenously applied peroxidation did not correlate with the endogeneous content of the two antioxidants, possibly on the basis of different lipid content of these lipoproteins.Molecular Aspects of Medicine 02/1994; 15 Suppl:s67-72. · 10.30 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Inhibitors of HMG-CoA reductase are new safe and effective cholesterol-lowering agents. Elevation of alanine-amino transferase (ALT) and aspartate-amino transferase (AST) has been described in a few cases and a myopathy with elevation of creatinine kinase (CK) has been reported rarely. The inhibition of HMG-CoA reductase affects also the biosynthesis of ubiquinone (CoQ10). We studied two groups of five healthy volunteers treated with 20 mg/day of pravastatin (Squibb, Italy) or simvastatin (MSD) for a month. Then we treated 30 hypercholesterolemic patients in a double-blind controlled study with pravastatin, simvastatin (20 mg/day), or placebo for 3 months. At the beginning, and 3 months thereafter we measured plasma total cholesterol, CoQ10, ALT, AST, CK, and other parameters (urea, creatinine, uric acid, total bilirubin, gamma GT, total protein). Significant changes in the healthy volunteer group were detected for total cholesterol and CoQ10 levels, which underwent about a 40% reduction after the treatment. The same extent of reduction, compared with placebo was measured in hypercholesterolemic patients treated with pravastatin or simvastatin. Our data show that the treatment with HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors lowers both total cholesterol and CoQ10 plasma levels in normal volunteers and in hypercholesterolemic patients. CoQ10 is essential for the production of energy and also has antioxidative properties. A diminution of CoQ10 availability may be the cause of membrane alteration with consequent cellular damage.The Journal of Clinical Pharmacology 04/1993; 33(3):226-9. · 2.47 Impact Factor - Transplantation Proceedings 11/1990; 22(5):2194-7. · 0.95 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: The authors have tried to study the therapeutic efficacy of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). In fact, CoQ10 has been shown to be deficient in myocardial tissue biopsies taken from DCM hearts, compared to normal hearts. Thirty patients with histological diagnosis of DCM were orally treated with CoQ10 (100 mg/die) for 2 months. Before and after treatment a clinical examination with determination of NYHA class and an echocardiographic examination with determination of ejection fraction (EF) and of telediastolic (TDV) and telesystolic (TSV) volumes were performed, and blood was drawn for plasma CoQ10 determination. In seven patients the pretreatment endomyocardial level of CoQ10 was also assayed. Seven patients left the study because of poor therapeutic compliance. In 47% of patients the clinical symptomatology regressed, with improvement of NYHA class. The EF improved from 0.31 +/- 0.09 to 0.37 +/- 0.11 (p less than 0.001). The TDV passed from 262.2 +/- 85 ml to 203.3 +/- 83 ml (p less than 0.05), and the TSV from 166.13 +/- 75 ml to 126.9 +/- 56 ml (ns). The CoQ10 plasmatic levels improved in 95% of the patients: from 0.74 +/- 0.37 micrograms/ml to 2.27 +/- 0.99 micrograms/ml (p +/- 0.0001). The CoQ10 myocardial levels did not show univocal values, but the patients with lower myocardial levels seemed to have a better therapeutic response. These data suggest that the CoQ10 deficiency in DCM may be reversible and that the therapeutic effects depend on the basal plasmatic and myocardial levels. Therapy with coenzyme Q10 may be considered to be an efficacious aid in the traditional treatment of chronic cardiac failure.International journal of tissue reactions 02/1990; 12(3):173-8. - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Blood levels of CoQ10 were found to be lower in patients affected by hyperthyroidism and in athletes during a severe training period. In patients who had received a kidney transplant decreasing CoQ10 levels were found, during the first 30 min after transplant, in the blood leaving the newly transplanted organ. No decrease was detectable in patients who had received the kidney from a sibling. It may reasonably be hypothesized that the ischaemia/reperfusion damage is responsible for a certain degree of impoverishment of CoQ10, leading to a CoQ10 uptake from perfusing blood. A comparable trend was also evident in liver transplants. Low CoQ10 plasma levels may therefore reflect increased metabolic needs from various tissues, on the basis of increased overall metabolic rate and/or peroxidative damage.International journal of tissue reactions 02/1990; 12(3):145-8. -

ABSTRACT: In previous works we have demonstrated that Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) levels have a significant inverse correlation with thyroid hormone concentration in patients with spontaneous hyper- or hypothyroidism. In order to verify whether this correlation is maintained in patients on long-term amiodarone therapy, in whom thyroid metabolism is altered by the iodine contained in the drug, we have studied 30 patients with thyroid dysfunction induced by chronic amiodarone treatment. We have distinguished four groups of patients: group A (n = 8): patients with true hyperthyroidism induced by drug administration; group B (n = 11): patients with mild hyperthyroid symptoms, but isolated thyroxine increase or dissociation between different indexes of thyroid function; group C (n = 5): patients with normal thyroid hormone levels, but increased TSH levels; group D (n = 6): patients who appeared really clinically euthyroid, with normal thyroid hormone levels and normal TSH response to TRH. In group A patients, plasma CoQ10 levels averaged 0.49 +/- 0.03 micrograms/ml, significantly lower than those in normal subjects and similar to those observed in spontaneous hyperthyroid patients. In group B patients, CoQ10 levels were in the normal range (0.88 +/- 0.10 microgram/ml). In group C patients, CoQ10 levels were lower than those in normal subjects and similar to those of group A patients (0.49 +/- 0.04 microgram/ml); they differed, in regards to CoQ10 values, in comparison with spontaneous primary hypothyroid patients, who had very high levels of plasma CoQ10. Finally, in group D patients, CoQ10 levels were in the normal range (0.77 +/- 0.04 microgram/ml).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)Journal of endocrinological investigation 10/1989; 12(8):511-6. · 1.55 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Changes in metabolic and functional activity of platelets stored as platelet concentrates in plastic bags highly permeable to gases were investigated. The following parameters were measured daily: pH, pO2, pCO2, HCO3, glucose, lactic acid, lactic dehydrogenase, cellular ATP and platelet aggregation induced by different agents (collagen and ADP). As indexes of lipid peroxidative damage, the cellular levels of conjugated dienes, malonyldialdehyde and some antioxidant molecules such as coenzyme Q10 and vitamin E were determined. A marked increase in pO2, conjugated dienes, malonyldialdehyde, lactic acid and lactic dehydrogenase activity was observed during the preservation. Platelet ATP content was unmodified and a remarkable decrease in platelet aggregability was found. pCO2, cyclooxygenase activity, vitamin E, coenzyme Q10, bicarbonate and glucose showed a rapid fall. Our data seem to indicate a preservation of platelet metabolic activity and a correlation between increased lipid peroxidation and functional impairement.Vox Sanguinis 02/1989; 56(1):32-6. · 3.30 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Neutrophil chemiluminescence was determined in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis. Twelve patients were randomly assigned either to a diet high in polyunsaturated fatty acids supplemented with eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids or to a diet high in saturated fatty acids. A correlation with clinical and laboratory parameters is also reported. No statistical difference was observed in neutrophil chemiluminescence and in clinical parameters in the group of patients treated with a diet high in saturated fatty acids. Fish oil ingestion resulted in subjective alleviation of active rheumatoid arthritis and reduction of neutrophil chemiluminescence. This study corroborates the hypothesis of an anti-inflammatory role for polyunsaturated fatty acids in patients with chronic inflammatory diseases.Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases 11/1988; 47(10):793-6. · 9.27 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Nutritional status and metabolic fuels are factors involved in the regulation of GH secretion and GH responses to GHRH. The effects of feeding on GHRH-induced GH release were studied in 13 normal women, 14 obese women, and 9 women with anorexia nervosa. GHRH-(1-44) (50 micrograms, iv) was administered at 0900 h after an overnight fast or at 1300 h after a normal meal at 0800 h, and at the same times 45 min after a 800-Cal meal on different days. The mean peak plasma GH responses to GHRH administered before a meal at 0900 h were 52.8 +/- 5.6 (+/- SE) micrograms/L in normal women, 8.2 +/- 1.3 micrograms/L in obese women, and 53.2 +/- 7.7 micrograms/L in anorexic women. When GHRH was administered before a meal at 1300 h, the mean peak plasma GH levels were lower than those at 0900 h; this reduction was -64.2% in normal women, -64.9% in obese women, and -55.8% in women with anorexia nervosa. After feeding, the plasma GH responses to GHRH were blunted in normal women at 0900 h (-60.9%) and 1300 h (-34.6%) compared with the fasting peak responses. In obese women the plasma GH response to GHRH after feeding was increased compared with that when these women had fasted (+60% at 0900 h and +406.9% at 1300 h). Finally, differential effects of feeding were present in anorexic women; the response was lower at 0900 h (-46.4%) and greater at 1300 h (+50.8%). We conclude that there is an ultradian variation in GHRH-stimulated GH secretion and that the responses differ according to nutritional status and body weight.Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism 04/1988; 66(3):598-604. · 6.31 Impact Factor

Eagles To Be First NFL Team Using App For In-Seat Concession Ordering
Published August 9, 2011
during Thursday's preseason game |
TEN MINUTES OR LESS: Eagles officials are confident their concessionaire, Aramark, can deliver Bypass Lane orders within 10 minutes. Bypass Lane was one of four tech vendors the Eagles tested dating to the final regular-season home game of '10. The Eagles ultimately chose Bypass and conducted further tests at Lincoln Financial Field this summer for three concerts, an international soccer match and Monster Jam, a monster truck event. For each of those events, the Bypass Lane application was downloaded 300-400 times, and up to 250 concessions transactions were completed for a single event. Fan surveys gave the new technology a thumbs-up, prompting the Eagles to roll out the technology starting with Thursday's game against the Ravens. The limited tests also produced per caps "slightly above average" for those events, McDermott said. The Eagles join the Rangers, Coyotes, Hurricanes, Mavericks, Stars and Wild as Bypass Lane clients. In addition, the tech vendor also has deals with Stanford Univ., eight minor league baseball teams and three college basketball arenas.

Frugal, food growing mama to my four loves
"We homeschool through a privet school" I figure that will take them long enough for them to work out that I can either leave or bean dip. I figure the words 'privet school' will halt them.
Yeah kindergarten is mandatory here. :-( You're right, I don't need to worry about all the explanations. I guess I"m just worried and paranoid because I know how some people are.....
Also, what should their grandmother tell her neighbors when they see the boys there all day on Tuesdays and Thursdays. So many people don't get "homeschooling" and don't understand DS 1 doesn't have to be locked in a building from 8-3 M-F to get and education.
but everything has pros and cons
I also live in FL. Kindergarten is not mandatory. You do not have to report your child as a homeschooler until the academic year that they will be six entering first grade. If you'd like I can send you a link to the info. I just gotta dig it up. First grade is the official year of homeschooling. Kinder is a freebie. We just finished our Kinder year and my DS will be "official" first grade next month.
I don't know about Jacksonville but where I live homeschool is pretty normal. |
"attained the age of 6 years by February 1 . . . but have not attained the age of 16 years"
I guess to me that means that this is the year I sign him up because he will be 6 by December...... |
Here's how it was explained to me. As it says above 6 by Feb 1st and that is the year the student is mandatory. So for 2006 my son turned 5 in Jan...he was not 6 by Feb of 2006. He turned 6 in Jan of 2007 (obviously before Feb 1st )...so he is mandatory for 2007. That means report him as a homeschool student in the year 2007.
Clear as mud? : Basically, the school district said to make it easy to figure out...just know what grade your child would be enrolled in for that academic year. So my DS would have started K in August 2006 and that is not mandatory. He would be starting first grade next month and that is mandatory so now I have to claim homeschool status. If your DS would be starting K next month he is not mandatory yet. Either way, it doesn't much matter for you because you've signed him up with the umbrella school this year. Now, I'm trying to decide if I want to go that route. Why did you choose Unschooling Florida? |
She doesn't have a website but I can send you her email address.
Here are some websites that might also help explain: http://www.floridaschoolchoice.org/I...hoolreport.asp http://www.parentdirectededucation.o...eschoolers.htm |

Quicksilver Resources Inc. - Special Call
Currently, Quicksilver has the largest inventory of projects in company history. I direct your attention to Slide #5, which shows our current inventory of projects along a maturity curve versus time. As you can see, each of our projects is at a different level of maturity with West Texas being the newest and Horseshoe Canyon being the most mature. We recognize with our debt position that selling assets is important to reduce overall debt in order to free up more cash flow for growth. For this reason, we have chosen to monetize Quicksilver's Barnett position. We are entering our ninth year of activity in the Barnett and while still some distance from the full maturity, the Barnett is of a size that can meaningfully reduce this debt.
The company has chosen to do this in the form of a master limited partnership, which we believe will realize the best value for Quicksilver shareholders. After studying the asset sale versus public yield vehicle markets, we believe the company will be -- will receive a better price for the assets and we'll still have ownership in the growth of the Barnett unbooked resource of over 1 trillion cubic feet of gas equivalent and also participate in the gas price recovery over time by forming a master limited partnership.
In our earnings call on November 7, 2011, we targeted the filing of the S-1 registration with the SEC by the year end. The timing of this has lagged by about 30 days, but we should be filed relatively soon. Quicksilver has experienced -- has experience in running this type of entity and we have a very efficient operational team that will continue to harvest this asset over the long term.
