Literature Reviewed
The purpose of this page is to post the recent articles that we in the Stephanopoulos group review in our nearly-weekly literature review presentations. Sometimes the presenter focuses on a particular paper, and sometimes the roughly one-hour talk gives a brief overview of an important series of related papers.
27 April 2006: Curt Fischer
Curt presented a recent PNAS article [1] which explicated a newly-discovered operon in E. coli. This operon encodes a previously unreported pathway for uracil degradation, which ends in the excretion of 3-hydroxypropionic acid in the medium. He also briefly mentioned two other recent high-profile papers on nitrogen metabolism--one reported the genome sequence of a anaerobic ammonium oxidizing bacterium and hypthesized the full structure of this metabolic pathway [2], and the other presents laborious and careful analysis carbon utilization of non-thermophilic archaea living in medium-depth oceanic waters[3]. These bacteria fix inorganic carbon and oxidize nitrogen, and are probably major players in the global nitrogen cycle.

18 May 2006: José O. Alemán
José gave a brief overview of two papers looking at insulin resistance from a perspective of cellular and animal experiments. The first uses cellular and animal experiments addressing reactive oxygen species' role in insulin resistance, while the second carefully dissects insulin signaling in the liver to tease divergent metabolic control of glucose and lipid metabolism.

21 Sep 2006: Jamey D. Young
Jamey presented a paper from the Nicholson group describing the effects of gut microbes on choline metabolism in the development of fatty liver disease.
12 Oct 2006: Curt Fischer
Curt presented a very recent paper from Nature Chemical Biology about isotopically instationary analysis of nitrogen assimilation in E. coli. Two notable things about this paper were 1) the invention of a technique for rapid metabolome quenching of E. coli while still obtaining some degree of intracellular/extracellular separation, and 2) the agreement of the measured net fluxes with net fluxes predicted by FBA.

Have an idea of sites you want to visit and things you want to do during your trip. Do some research on travel blogs and communities. You should ask friends and family who have traveled before about places they enjoyed the most. Read through site-specific guide books like Lonely Planet, Let's Go, Rough Guide, Rick Steves, or Frommers.
Book all travel far in advance. However, do not book anything until after the first week of classes. You may find there are NYU-sponsored trips already in place.
Florence is fairly centrally located in Italy, so there are great opportunities to travel. The Santa Maria Novella train station provides easy access to airports, and other cities within Italy. If you do not speak and/or read Italian fluently, always go to the train station and purchase your ticket. Booking tickets online through the Trenitalia (for national trains only) website can be tricky, but it is useful to get a sense of departure times. Once at the station, most of the people at the ticket booths speak a fair amount of English, and there are self-service ticketing machines with English-language options, so you can be fairly sure that you will not find yourself with the wrong type of ticket.
Also, remember that the Office of Student Life offers trips around Italy, and that many classes take overnight trips around Italy - check out those options before booking your own!
If you are planning weekend travel, then flying from city to city may be your cheapest option. With flights, the earlier you book, the cheaper it will be. Be aware that the taxes for the flight may be more money than the cost of the actual flight. Many of the cheapest flights leave very early in the morning from airports outside of the city.
In some places it can be difficult and expensive to travel to these airports at these very early times because public transportation may not run all night. If you go on a low-fare airline, expect to pay a fee for any stowed luggage you bring.
This is the main train website for Italy and is helpful to find out the times of trains; however it can be somewhat difficult to purchase tickets on-line; the train stations have very conveniant kiosks.
Railpass lists all of your train options and information about the trains for all the different European countries.
If you are planning on traveling (especially after your semester) you may find that Eurail is the best option. It is a train pass that gives you train travel within 18 European Countries. Not only is it a cheap, convenient way to travel around Europe, but also many Euro trains are super comfy! Buy your tickets in the US as they are more expensive in Europe.
Sita Bus is a cheap bus system that goes all around Tuscany. The station is across the street from Santa Maria Novella (on the left side if coming up from the Arno). A ticket to Siena or San Gimignano costs around €6.
If you take the bus every day, get a monthly pass (una carta mensile) at Santa Maria Novella for €34. Otherwise, get an electronic ticket (una carta agile – 10 rides for €10 or 21 rides for €20). Stamp your ticket every time. The ticket checkers come around every once and a while, but it's better to pay less every time than a huge amount at the police station.
Busabout is designed for back-packers which makes it a great way to meet people, and a cheap way to get around—it may be more appropriate if you plan to do more traveling during the summer. Get more info at Busabout.

The word "probably" in "probably unlikely" is redundant.
Phoronix: AMD Already Has Open-Source Fusion Drivers
There's good news for those of you wanting to quickly go out and pickup an AMD Fusion system as soon as it's available: there's already open-source drivers for Fusion...
The word "probably" in "probably unlikely" is redundant.
I also have to say that it is absolutely amazing how much you can elaborate on things when you see one vague sentence like that one... people obviously have gotta be real careful about what they say around you
Yeah there's also folks with phd in all types of dialectics so watch out for them, but if seriously, it's impossible to write something that would please anyone, there must be someone that will at least pick on you because of a frigging typo.
The Fusion parts use GPU cores derived from Evergreen, so the changes required to support Fusion graphics are mostly related to "the bits around the edges". There are still a lot of changes though, albeit mostly small ones.
Alex sent the rebased patches out for review yesterday, so it's not surprising that they are "under review" today
I have been waiting for AMD Fusion for a long time so this is awesome.
This is great news! I'm glad AMD is finally approaching their goal of same-day driver support.
This is indeed interesting. I was actually wondering whether the Fusion GPU was derived from Evergreen or a new design.The Fusion parts use GPU cores derived from Evergreen
Any comment on whether the DRM/decode entanglement has been solved?
I suppose with something as efficient as this, though, it wouldn't be that much of a penalty to do decode on the GPU's general-purpose execution units.
I am so going to gift myself a new AMD CPU this xmas (gift myself and honor AMD). I wanted to wait with the switch from my 4850e (Athlon 64 x2) to the fusion type Bobcat/Bulldozer but inbetween I guess I'll have myself a socket AM2+ compatible AMD Athlon II x3 or the corresponding Phenom version. It might be affordable for my (sadly low) budget and a good intermediate solution til the Fusion arrives for that I'll probably better have an AM3+ board as well. Which also means new RAM.
But good to hear that day 0 support will be possible here that makes modern tech much better to adopt. Oh and with Bobcat we might see a real alternative in the close to embedded small devices market. I already imagine something like a new openmoko with working documented hardware and stuff... *sigh* *dreams on*
My next buy will be a Fusion netbook.
Does anyone know the release date of Fusion hardware? January, or will they have something out this year?
Hopefully this code doesn't get stuck too long in review. From past experience, it seems like it could easily take 6 months. Maybe less than that since it's based so heavily on Evergreen which is already working.

The CSF-VDRL test is used to help diagnose neurosyphilis. It looks for substances called antibodies, which are sometimes produced by the body in reaction to the syphilis-causing bacteria.
Venereal disease research laboratory slide test - CSF
A sample of spinal fluid is needed. For information on how this is taken, see: Lumbar puncture (spinal tap)
The CSF-VDRL test is done to diagnose syphilis in the brain or spinal cord. Brain and spinal cord involvement is usually a sign of late-stage syphilis.
Blood screening tests (VDRL and RPR) are better at detecting middle-stage (secondary) syphilis.
A negative result is normal.
However, false-negatives can occur. This means you can have syphilis even if this test is normal. Therefore, a negative test does not always rule out the infection. Other signs and tests may be used to diagnose neurosyphilis.
A positive result is abnormal and is a sign of neurosyphilis.

REMICADE® is a prescription medication used to treat:
Crohn's Disease- Can reduce signs and symptoms and induce and maintain remission in adult patients with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease who haven't responded well to other therapies
- Can reduce signs and symptoms and induce and maintain remission in children (ages 6-17) with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease who haven't responded well to other therapies
- Can reduce signs and symptoms, induce and maintain remission, promote intestinal healing, and reduce or stop the need for steroids in adult patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis who haven't responded well to other therapies
- Can reduce signs and symptoms and induce and maintain remission in children (ages 6-17) with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis who haven't responded well to other therapies
- Can reduce signs and symptoms, help stop further joint damage, and improve physical function in patients with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis, in combination with methotrexate
- Can reduce signs and symptoms of active arthritis, help stop further joint damage, and improve physical function in patients with psoriatic arthritis
- Can reduce signs and symptoms in patients with active ankylosing spondylitis
- Approved for the treatment of adult patients with chronic severe (extensive and/or disabling) plaque psoriasis under the care of a physician who will determine if REMICADE® is appropriate considering other available therapies
Only your doctor can recommend a course of treatment after checking your health condition. REMICADE® (infliximab) can cause serious side effects such as lowering your ability to fight infections. Some patients, especially those 65 years and older, have had serious infections caused by viruses, fungi or bacteria that have spread throughout the body, including tuberculosis (TB) and histoplasmosis. Some of these infections have been fatal. Your doctor should monitor you closely for signs and symptoms of TB during treatment with REMICADE®.
Unusual cancers have been reported in children and teenage patients taking TNF-blocker medicines. Hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma, a rare form of fatal lymphoma, has occurred mostly in teenage or young adult males with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis who were taking REMICADE® and azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine. For children and adults taking TNF blockers, including REMICADE®, the chances of getting lymphoma or other cancers may increase.
You should discuss any concerns about your health and medical care with your doctor.
What should I tell my doctor before I take REMICADE®?
You should let your doctor know if you have or ever had any of the following:
- Tuberculosis (TB) or have been near someone who has TB. Your doctor will check you for TB with a skin test. If you have latent (inactive) TB, you will begin TB treatment before you start REMICADE®.
- Lived in a region where certain fungal infections like histoplasmosis or coccidioidomycosis are common.
- Infections that keep coming back, have diabetes or an immune system problem.
- Any type of cancer or a risk factor for developing cancer, for example, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or had phototherapy for psoriasis.
- Heart failure or any heart condition. Many people with heart failure should not take REMICADE®.
- Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection or think you may be a carrier of HBV. Your doctor will test you for HBV.
- Nervous system disorders (like multiple sclerosis or Guillain-Barré syndrome).
Also tell your doctor if you:
- Use the medicines Kineret (anakinra), Orencia (abatacept) or Actemra (tocilizumab) or other medicines called biologics used to treat the same problems as REMICADE®.
- Are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, are breast-feeding, or have a baby and were using REMICADE® during your pregnancy. Tell your baby's doctor about your REMICADE® use before the baby receives any vaccine because of an increased risk of infection for up to 6 months after your last dose of REMICADE® you received during your pregnancy.
- Recently received or are scheduled to receive a vaccine. Adults and children taking REMICADE® should not receive live vaccines or treatment with a weakened bacteria (such as BCG for bladder cancer) while taking REMICADE®.
What should I watch for and talk to my doctor about before or while taking REMICADE®?
The following serious (sometimes fatal) side effects have been reported in people taking REMICADE®.
You should tell your doctor right away if you have any of the signs listed below:
- Infections (like TB, blood infections, pneumonia)—fever, tiredness, cough, flu, or warm, red or painful skin or any open sores. REMICADE® can make you more likely to get an infection or make any infection that you have worse.
- Lymphoma, or any other cancers in adults and children.
- Skin cancer—any changes in or growths on your skin.
- Heart failure—new or worsening symptoms, such as shortness of breath, swelling of your ankles or feet, or sudden weight gain.
- Reactivation of HBV—feeling unwell, poor appetite, tiredness, fever, skin rash and/or joint pain.
- Liver injury—jaundice (yellow skin and eyes), dark brown urine, right-sided abdominal pain, fever, or severe tiredness.
- Blood disorders—fever that doesn't go away, bruising, bleeding or severe paleness.
- Nervous system disorders—numbness, weakness, tingling, changes in your vision or seizures.
- Allergic reactions during or after the infusion—hives, difficulty breathing, chest pain, high or low blood pressure, swelling of face and hands, and fever or chills.
- Lupus-like syndrome—chest discomfort or pain that does not go away, shortness of breath, joint pain, rash on the cheeks or arms that gets worse in the sun.
- Psoriasis—new or worsening psoriasis such as red scaly patches or raised bumps on the skin that are filled with pus.
The more common side effects with REMICADE® are respiratory infections (that may include sinus infections and sore throat), headache, rash, coughing and stomach pain.
Please read the Medication Guide for REMICADE® and discuss it with your doctor. (Requires Adobe® Acrobat® Reader®. Click here to download.)
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

He says right after Sochi, but I could see him changing his mind and deciding to go to the 2014 Worlds as well. I kind of expected 2014 to be his last season, as he's been around for awhile and has been injured. I'll miss him though!

I think Dai definitely has a chance to win Worlds this year in London and it is foolish to think he doesnt. Hanyu is not a lock to beat Takahashi, he lost to him at the GP final where Takahashi has some big mistakes, and lost the LP to him at their last 3 events together, and even with Hanyus ridiculously inflated PCS he still will always get lower PCS than Takahashi as this point in time and Takahashi is also capable of very high TES. Chan is not a lock either the way he is skating this year, even with Worlds in Canada, especialy as the judges are finally coming back down to earth on him. Dai has atleast equal odds of winning Worlds this year as those other two.
Me thinks your dream of Kozuka winning Worlds was simply that even if he made it, a dream, but if you think Kozuka actually had a chance to win Worlds, then 110% for sure Takahshi definitely has that chance.

Lets put it this way: I believe Takahashi can win. If you asked me to make a prediction, I'd predict Hanyu winning.
My hope for Kozuka was entirely a hopediction (hope rationalized as a prediction). Or more accurately, my hope was...
2013: Podium of Kozuka-Fernandez-Abbott (or Takahashi)
2014: Podium of Takahashi-Hanyu-Kozuka
2015: Podium of Hanyu-Fernandez-Song
2016: .... Ehh, you get the idea :D
I think Hanyu is being overrated. I think he can win both the 2013 Worlds and 2014 Olympics, but I dont think he is the odds on favorite to win the 2013 Worlds, and the near lock for the 2014 Olympic Gold, as many now are having him. His PCS, as ridiculously OVERrated as they are, are still deservedly going to be lower than both Takahashi and Chan until he improves further. His TES will be unbeatable if he is on, since no man can match the GOEs of his jumps or spins (jumps especialy), and he is probably doing the most difficult program, but he is not all that consistent, and rarely or ever does clean competitions, granted neither are his competitors.
My dream podium would be the same as yours for 2013 except replacing Kozuka with Takahashi. I love Fernandez and Abbott but dont except to ever see Abbott on a World podium at this point (please prove me wrong), while Fernandez definitely will be on one at some point IMHO (but who knows, who would have thought Oda would never make one, and he now clearly never ever will make one) but maybe not this year, maybe a better chance for next year if he ups his GOE and PCS enough he doesnt need to land 3 or 4 quads or need Chan or Hanyu to blow totally. I honestly dont get the love for Kozuka, he has nice programs, but I dont find his performance skills that great, I find he looks down while he skates, isnt that exciting or interesting despite the good choreography, and his elements are good but nothing special compared to the top guys. I think he could win another World medal someday (could, not neccessarily will) but I think his silver at the 2011 Worlds will always be his career high point. Frankly I wouldnt want a skater like him ranked that high, as it means someone like Chan has no competition and can win every event falling atleast 4 times, if someone like Kozuka is the best that is challenging him, since someone like that is no challenge to someone like Chan. I see him as the Japanese federation do, the perennial #3 if things all go as planned, an emergency #1 or #2 if others struggle, and what he is this year, off the World team, if he doesnt skate well.
Kozuka is one of those skaters who is just better seen live than on TV...something about the ease, edging and flow of his skating...The first time I ever saw him live was at Skate America this year, and I really get what the hype is about now..
Fair enough. I admit he is one skater I have not seen live, despite that I have seen a number of live events in Canada and the U.S. Maybe if I did I would feel differently. On TV he comes across to me as Dick Button would put it "that was an ok performance", "that was a little skate" kind of way. I have also been validated thus far in thinking that my thinking is right when the judges who do see him live are posting scores for him that indicate they feel the same thing mostly, even for his better skates, hence what seems to frusterate some of his fans.
I don't think any man in the top 5 being considered is a lock to win Worlds. It's going to come down to who lands their quads, who skates clean and who puts in the best performance. All of the men have failed at one time or another to fulfill all that. All I know is it's going to be a great competition.
My odds to win Worlds at this point would be:
Takahashi- 35%
Hanyu- 30%
Chan- 25%
Fernandez-5% (his odds to medal I think are quite decent, but not to win)
All others combined- 5%
Some might disagree with these, but what I think we can all agree on is the first 3 are quite close, and Fernandez is the only other possible but a real long shot to actually WIN this year. I really really hope it is Takahashi his year though. This will shock people but I would much rather Chan win than Hanyu. The hype around Hanyu lately is nauseating me, and his inflated PCS and even sometimes exagerrated GOEs are becoming an evcen bigger joke than Chans being guaranteed to win every event with 6 falls and all others clean for 2-3 years was. Now that Chans scores have come down to earth somewhat (PCS still overgenerous for some of his sloppier, more error prone skates, but you cant expect the judges to be perfect when it comes to their pets) and he has managed to shut up his loudmouth he used to bring to press conferences, and keep it in his head mostly at last, he isnt all that bad. On another note that other Canadian loudmouth Scott Moir has also kept his trap shut this year, even at the GP final where IMO he would have had legitimate reason to complain unlike many times he did in the past with no legitimate reason to, so maybe the CSA has clammed Chan and Moir up, and if they did bravo to them for that.

Is Daisuke really planning to forego 2014 Worlds in Tokyo? Seems like competing there would be a perfect send-off for him. Regardless, it'll be sad not being able to see him skate after next year. Hope he wins the Olympics and another world title before he hangs up his skates.
My hope is he is not eclipsed by Yuzu if JSF sees him winning medals, posting huge scores. Dai may be number two man going into Sochi. For me. Hanyu is a decade behind in age but moreso style. He is wild energy out there. The beautiful control Dai has in every program. Of course he falls but quickly resumes his musicality. Not many men are so musical. In the last decade, Buttle? Lambiel? Matt Savoie was a great stylist and under rated. Evan is artistic tho not in the same league as Dai, Buttle, Chan, Lambiel.
One other male skater at the near top skates with elan like Daisuke- our very own Adam Rippon. He is a great skater-may he get his head together, his jumps and show us he is in the class of men that is very small.
If Dai is in the pantheon of great artists, who is with him? I will go back to the big names, big medal winners. These skaters are I believe Skaters skaters. John Curry brought a beautiful body line. He had a balletic influence on the men. Robin Cousins was so versatile, so he eeks in here. I think booth Boitana and Orser were elegant men with the nod to Orser. Toller was a dancer, painter, skater. He is the most unique, talented skater. His elegance tells me he is a Dai fan. Kurt was an athlete but his pro years proved he was a dancer at heart with Nyah, In the rain, many more. Chan is alone with Dai and Adam Rippon for sheer elegance in the ranks of Amateurs. Javi is all around good but cannot bring people to tears. Maybe Abbott belongs in this group. He isn't a consistent jumper but Les Mis is wonderful if you see an easier version. Jeremy skates frpm his heart with love.
It is sad when a great one hangs up his skates. I hope Chan stays in. I hope he doesn't win cuz you know he'll retire. Like Kwan, I want to see him at 25. He should be awesome.
I even hate to see Plush leave. That is like a death in men's skating. His style improves and I'm glad we see him still. Just a hanful of greats every four years. Actually every 8 years.
I think if one of Dai or Hanyu wins Worlds they will the Japanese number 1 backing for next year. If neither does then it is still up in the air.
Check your fact! When did Chan ever win with 6 falls, or even 5 falls?! The worst time he won a competition was at 2010 SC with 3 falls in SP and one fall in LP (by the way, 3 + 1 = 4). Even in that competition, he lost SP and fell into fourth place. He would have won the overall competition at 2010 COR without violating the zayak rule. But even in that competition, he has had one fall in SP and 3 falls in LP. Again, it was only four falls in total. And he wouldn't have won the LP with 3 falls even without violating zayak rule. He would still be the second behind Verner in LP if his 2A was counted.
Honestly, I do not wish Chan win the world this time. Takahshi or Hanyu would be a good choice.
It is hardly a news about Takahashi quitting competition after Sochi.
If he lost Sochi...

I agree with you about Kozuka. He's one of my favorite skaters; he is just such an elegant skater who just draws you in. Kurt Browning, when he's commentating, always, always praises Kozuka and says he's one of the best skaters out there. Not too shabby, coming from someone like Kurt!
We all knew this was coming unfortunately. Once he made comments about almost retiring a couple of years ago I knew. It's feels like it did for me when Buttle and Lambiel left.
I'm sure all my favs will be moving on after this Olympics.

Josh Freeman has been a talked about player in the NFL the past couple of days. Not for leading the Bucs to a great start, though. The Tampa Bay signal-caller has locked horns with Head Coach Greg Schiano and their disconnect has resulted in an 0-2 start.Through two weeks, the 25-year-old has completed just 45 percent of his passes and owns a passer rating of 63.0–the lowest it has been since his rookie year in 2009.Many people are relating his rough start to the issues between him and Coach Schiano. There has even been talk of the Buccaneers moving their long-time quarterback. Although Freeman's camp has denied the reports of him wanting a trade, it wouldn't come as a surprise if the Bucs get rid of him.Here are five possible trade destinations for Josh Freeman.

Diffusion of Gas Through a Reinforced 3D Membrane
Application ID: 174
In this example, we study the diffusion of a chemical species through a membrane. The system is used to measure the permeability of gases in membranes.
The permeability of the membrane is measured by introducing the species of interest in a carrier gas on one side of the membrane and the pure carrier gas on the other side of the membrane.
In this model, the initial flux in the membrane is studied, which corresponds to the largest difference in concentration between the two chambers on the different sides of the membrane.

The Xerox Foundation
From its beginnings, Xerox has helped shape the idea of corporate social responsibility. Our efforts reflect our belief that a successful corporation must be an active participant in society. The Xerox Foundation is the hand that gives something back to the communities from which we draw our employees, our customers, and our freedom to conduct business.
Through our many programs, our people have given back to the communities in which they work and live for decades. We encourage employee involvement primarily through the following programs:
Xerox Community Involvement Program:
XCIP provides the means to channel funds to local teams of employees to select and work on specific community projects that they identify in their communities.
Board membership:
Many Xerox people, including our most senior leaders, offer their expertise and experience to the boards of national and international non-profit organizations.
United Way:
Each year Xerox employees are educated on the benefits of the United Way programs and services. Xerox people can then choose to give, volunteer or advocate for the many organizations their United Way supports.
The Xerox Science Consultant Program:
The Xerox Science Consultant program enjoys a rich history of 45 years duration. Active in Monroe County, NY and Wilsonville, OR, the goal of the program is to improve student attitudes towards science, make it fun, interesting and accessible. Xerox Science Consultants deliver hands-on science lessons to students in grades 4-6 that "make science cool."
FIRST Robotics and LEGO League:
Xerox's partnership with FIRST (For the Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) brings together students and Xerox scientists to build a programmed, fully functional robot — from a box of parts or bag of Legos®. The partnership has helped thousands of students channel their curiosity through a challenging and fun-filled program that shows "real-life" science and engineering concepts at work.
Additionally, Xerox contributed $13.5 million in 2012 in these focus areas:
Education/Workforce Preparedness
Employee/Community Affairs
Cultural Affairs
National Affairs
Environmental Affairs
Policies and Guidelines
At Xerox, we believe that a corporation today has institutional responsibilities that go beyond its primary economic role.

When friends see you, they're more surprised than happy. Your house may have been gathering a bit of dust from lack of use. Your clothes look a little rugged, and your backpack has seen better days. Almost nothing you wear or own is brand new; it's gone through rain, mud, snow, in almost all weather conditions. The only thing you've tried so hard to take care of is your tickets and your passport, almost full with stamps and visas.
Traveling is the modern man's way of getting in touch with more of the outside world. In a world where technology has reigned supreme and cities are sprouting up all over once-serene countrysides, the only way to reconnect is to see what the world has to offer.
It's such a popular hobby that your tales of adventure and misadventure become the topic of many good nights with friends over some steak and beer. You tell of that time you nearly got scammed in a seedy bar somewhere during a wild night out in Madrid. You tell of how you had to chase down your bus in Prague because you forgot your backpack. Friends listen as you tell them how you moved from bar to bar in Paris, a couple of girls hanging out with you. It's these tales of youthful adventure that make traveling a popular hobby.
Aside from the thrill of adventure and of the unknown -- you never know what's going to happen next -- there's a degree of self knowledge and wisdom that comes with exploring the world with your own two feet and seeing other cultures with your very own eyes. You get to understand how other people in different parts of the world live and survive; what they do for a living, how they have fun, how they cope with the misadventures of their daily lives. You get to share your stories with them and they tell theirs; you get to form a connection and a bond on a truly human level.
You get to know more about yourself too. When you've been scammed one too many times, you learn your capacity for dealing with frustration and things going wrong. You learn to be more patient, careful, and you eventually get to find out people's kindness. It's an eye opening experience that you just can't learn sitting on your couch all day. Explore the world, learn about yourself and other people's cultures, and it truly is the best thing you'll do for yourself all your life

Grass deserves a second look
Grass deserves a second look
by Dan Undersander
The author is extension forage agronomist, University of Wisconsin, Madison.
With its more highly digestible fiber, grass provides a great mix for rations heavy with corn silage and alfalfa. Grasses' agronomic benefits are an added bonus.
that will contain 30 to 40 percent grass offset by 60 to 70 percent alfalfa.
Generally, dairymen and their nutritionists have perceived grasses to be too high in fiber to feed to high-producing dairy cows. But growing knowledge of digestible fiber has taught us grass is actually more digestible than alfalfa. There are two primary reasons for the new found interest in grass: agronomic and nutritional.
Agronomic reasons for grass:
1. Greater seeding year yields — some grasses, such as Italian ryegrass, will establish faster than the alfalfa and produce more total forage yield in a seeding year than alfalfa alone.
2. Wider harvest window on second and later cuttings — many grasses head little or not at all after first cutting. Therefore, grass regrowth is primarily leaves which change little in quality over 7 to 10 days around harvest time.
3. Faster drying — 30 to 40 percent grass with alfalfa dries faster than either pure alfalfa or pure grass.
4. Less winter kill or injury to the alfalfa stand might occur— some grasses will survive standing water and/or ice in low spots of field better than alfalfa. Beware that some varieties of orchardgrass and tall fescue are not as winter hardy as others and will die before alfalfa.
5. Ability to apply manure to stands with less traffic damage and stand loss — grasses suffer less traffic damage than alfalfa.
Nutritional reasons for grass:
1. Grass/alfalfa mixtures have higher total fiber than alfalfa alone.
2. The fiber of grasses is more digestible than alfalfa's fiber.
3. Potential to reduce NFC (nonfiber carbohydrates) in dairy rations — today's greater use of corn silage in dairy rations, which is excellent forage for high-producing cows, has nutritional limitations because it is low in protein and high in fermentable carbohydrate (starch). Lameness in dairy cattle has risen dramatically in the Midwest in recent years . . . reaching levels of 20 to 25 percent in all dairy cattle. One of the major contributors to this situation has been formulation of high-starch, low-fiber diets, reports University of Wisconsin researchers.
Alfalfa is a good nutritional complement to corn silage because of its high protein content. However, high-quality alfalfa is low in fiber and high in nonfiber carbohydrates (NFC) like corn silage. High-quality grass silages may be a good fit with diets formulated with high-quality corn silage and alfalfa diets. Intensively managed grass (or grass mixed with alfalfa) is a high-yielding forage that contains moderate levels of neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and a low concentration of NFC (see table). The nutrient profile of high-quality grass complements the excesses and deficiencies of rations formulated with excellent-quality corn silage and alfalfa.
Three potential approaches
One approach is to replace alfalfa with an equal amount of grass. This boosts the total fiber content of the ration. If dietary levels of NDF are high enough to limit feed intake by rumen fill, the cows fed the grass-based diets typically consume less dry matter and produce less milk than those fed an equivalent amount of alfalfa.
A second approach is to balance for an equal level of fiber. Results from experiments designed this way usually find that milk yield and intake of grass-based diets are similar to alfalfa control diets. When grasses are used to replace an equivalent amount of NDF as contained in alfalfa, forage to concentrate ratios of the diets change. These experiments clearly show that grasses can be used in diets for high-producing cows but with higher concentrate levels.
A third, and newer, approach is to use grass as a source of digestible fiber. Grass at early maturity contains more NDF than corn silage or alfalfa but the fiber is more digestible than alfalfa NDF. In addition, early maturity grasses contain lower levels of NFC relative to alfalfa or corn silage, and equal or less crude protein than alfalfa forage as shown in the table.
Diets formulated with high-quality corn silage are often marginal in fiber and high in NFC content. It then becomes necessary to incorporate feeds that have highly digestible yet contain relatively low amounts of NFC and high amounts of digestible fiber. As alfalfa is brought into high corn silage diets, often the proportion of digested energy from fiber does not change and the proportion of rapidly fermented energy only shifts slightly from NFC to digestible protein.
Nutritionists sometimes add as much as 2 to 4 pounds of straw to corn silage based diets to raise the proportion of dietary fiber. Adding straw increases the total fiber content of the diet but drops the digestible energy intake because it is poorly digested and contributes significantly to rumen fill. Grasses may be a better choice to incorporate into high-NFC/low-fiber diets because unlike straw, the fiber in grasses is more digestible than fiber in corn silage, alfalfa or wheat straw.
Replacing part of the corn silage and alfalfa with high-quality grass fiber could shift the proportion of fermented energy from NFC to NDF while not reducing the overall digestibility of the diet. This shift in fermentable components would be expected to provide a more steady supply of fermentable substrate to rumen microbes. This, in turn, could help stabilize the production of rumen acids and minimize the occurrence of ruminal acidosis.
Initial trials we have run have indicated that we could maintain high levels of milk production when replacing a portion of the corn silage and alfalfa with grass silage, even though dietary NDF increased slightly.
The key to managing alfalfa-grass mixtures for high-quality dairy forage is to maintain forage stands that contain about 30 to 40 percent grass. When the composition of the stand is in this range, nitrogen fixation from legumes can meet the needs of the grass species, and fiber content of the mixture is still acceptable.
Desired alfalfa/grass mixes can be maintained by picking appropriate grass species and varieties. Timothy and smooth bromegrass tend to produce too much forage in the spring but little the rest of the year, so we recommend mixing either orchardgrass or tall fescue with alfalfa. This will get more grass in second and later cuttings. Forage fiber can be kept at acceptable levels in alfalfa-grass mixtures by carefully selecting a grass variety that matures late and has good growth pattern in summer. Remember that grass varieties within either orchardgrass or tall fescue are as different as Angus and Holstein cattle. You wouldn't want an Angus cow in your dairy herd and you wouldn't want a poor grass variety in you hay field!

Gin Rummyby Masque Publishing
Play the classic card game of Gin Rummy free online at Games.com. In this modern update of 18th century Whiskey Poker, your goal is to score higher than your opponent to win.
In your 10-card hand, form melds of three or more cards in either a run of the same suit (a sequence) or a group of the same value (number or face card). Try to keep your deadwood (un-melded cards) to a minimum, which will allow you to knock when those cards total less than 10 points.
By knocking, the hand is over and you will be given points for any of your opponents' deadwood, while forfeiting points for your own deadwood. If you can get all your cards melded, yell "Gin" and win the round without any deductions.
Let Opportunity Knock:
When opportunity knocks, answer as often as possible. This is true in life and Gin Rummy, since holding out for "Gin" may cost you in the long run. Don't let the temptation for extra points get the better of you by putting off a chance to knock. Remember, the more you knock, the more points you accumulate.
Don't Welcome Rejects:
Another truism of both life and Gin Rummy. When selecting which pile to draw from, stock or discard, try not to select from the discard pile unless you know you'll form a meld as a result. Be cognizant of which cards you're willing to risk losing if you can't meld them. Lower is always better.
Stay on the Straight and Narrow:
If you hope to form a run of consecutive cards, it is much better to tack on at the beginning or end than in the middle. For instance, if you have an 8 and a 9, it makes sense to hold out for a 7 or a 10 to complete the run. But if you have an 8 and a 10, you're half as likely to pick up the 9 you'll need. Also, build triangle groups whenever possible--7 of hearts, 7 of diamonds, 8 of diamonds--this will give you twice the chance of forming a meld (in this case a group of 7's or a run of 6-7-8 or 7-8-9 of diamonds.)

> Ultra Thin Kelly Wood Letters 6 Inch - N6" Ultra Thin Wood Letters
Ultra Thin Kelly Wood Letter N.
• 1/8in. Thick
• 6in. Tall
• Kelly Lettering
• Unfinished
About this Product: This hand crafted unfinished wood letter measures 6in. tall and is about 3- 3/4in. at its widest part. Styled in a Kelly Font this wood letter is gender neutral which makes it great for a assortment of projects. It is also very thin, which is ideal for adhering it to smooth surfaces such as a dresser. Or you can use it to create unique custom plaques and signs for weddings and parties or the home.
Wood letters are often used as wall adornments in nurseries and the home. Since these wood letters are unfinished they can be decorated in any way imaginable; from painting and staining to covering in fabric, with a little help from some Mod Podge. They are also often used as decorations for weddings as monograms of the lovely bride and groom, and placed on reception tables or drink and buffet tables.
Although the intention of these wooden letters are to be painted over and/or decoupaged; some coloration and the tint of wood grain may vary. But rest assured knowing they are just as smooth and easily painted as the wood photographed.

Paramount Theatrical Production: Oklahoma!
This is the show that set the standard for all future musicals by incorporating music, lyrics and dance into a well-crafted serious story. It's also the debut collaboration of one of the most prolific writing teams in American theater history – Rodgers and Hammerstein. Set in the turn of the century Oklahoma Territory, tensions are mounting between the local farmers and cowboys over the use of land. In the midst of it all is the rugged cowboy Curly who's fallen for the strong-headed farm girl, Laurey. Despite their fiery spirits and at times tumultuous relationship, the two are destined to start a new life together in the soon-to-be state called Oklahoma!

Paramount Theatrical Production: A Christmas Story
One of the most watched and beloved Holiday movies ever made comes to life in a full-blown musical production on the Paramount stage. It's the story of nine-year-old Ralphie Parker growing up in middle-America in the 1940s. With Christmas right around the corner, Ralphie has his bespectacled sights set on one thing – a Red Ryder BB Gun. But at every turn, the young daydreamer hears those five words that are the bane of his existence: "you'll shoot your eye out."

Paramount Theatrical Production: West Side Story
It's quite possibly one of the greatest love stories ever to be told in a musical. Set in the blue-collar neighborhood of New York's Upper West Side, racial tensions run high as residents try to grind out a daily living. A turf war is being fought as the Jets, a white gang, and the Sharks, a Puerto Rican gang, battle over boundaries. In the heart of the turmoil, former Jets member Tony meets Maria at a local dance. The chemistry is instantaneous, and for a few hours, there is no race, no hatred, no barriers, just two young people in love. But Maria is the sister of Sharks' leader Bernardo, and no one is going to make it easy for Tony and Maria to escape.
