A survey of traditional Iranian food products for contamination with toxigenic Clostridium botulinum. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 20701867 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
This study aimed to determine the rate of Clostridium botulinum contamination in some traditional Iranian food products (cheese, kashk and salted fish) and evaluate the efficacy of the mouse bioassay method in detection of C. botulinum toxins in these foods. A total of 131 samples (57 cheese, 11 kashk and 63 salted fish) were collected and examined to determine the rate of contamination by C. botulinum. Standard monovalent anti-toxins were used to determine the types of toxin. C. botulinum bacteria were detected in 4.58% of the examined samples (1.52% of cheese and 3.06% of salted fish samples). While no contamination was detected in the kashk samples, C. botulinum types A and E were found to be dominant in cheese and salted fish samples, respectively. These results indicate-some traditional Iranian foods may be contaminated with different types of C. botulinum, and the consumption of these products, either raw or cooked, may contribute to food-borne intoxications. |

Martin1901 re: Mac 26C
I sailed regularly with a friend who had a 1991 Mac 26C on a lake with periodic strong winds--a good sailing lake. The Mac 26 is a good beginner boat--reasonably well designed and built, and very practical and easy to sail. It sailed very well in lighter winds (up to about 10 knots), but in heavier winds (18 - 20 knots) it developed weather helm and would heel alot and round up on its own, so would be quite challenging. As it is a relatively light (water ballasted) boat (I think about 2800 lbs), it was affected by waves over 2 - 3 feet, more than other boats might be. I had a san juan 23 mark II (fin keel, tall rig) which handled the heavier air better than the Macgregor. But I like the Macgregor for regular day sailing or weekends, in moderate winds. From what I have seen, I think the Mac 26C sails better than the 26X.
Hope that helps.

Before there is music, there must be air!
Or, as a music teacher said, "No air. no sound." Wind, brass and voice musicians as well as other performing artists, have for many years used exercise to improve their breathing strength and endurance. Exercise like running, swimming, cycling, yoga or others improve a performing artist's health as well as their capabilities to perform at a higher level. Many performing artists have the extra burden of physical activity such as costume changes, dancing or marching in addition to the demands placed on their breathing muscles by creating the sound. In addition to the exercising you spend many hours warming up before practice, rehearsal or performance and then again between performances in the same or other shows or performances. Then there are the actual practice, rehearsal and performance times.
Hear the difference in just a few breaths
Most musicians can hear the difference after their first 10 breaths with PowerLung. Musicians and vocalists who tried PowerLung found their projection improved within just 10 training breaths. If you are involved in other activities, you will likely find using PowerLung a benefit to those activities as well.
The PowerLung BreatheAir model is designed for any level of performing artist who has difficulty:
⢠Breathing deeply and maintaining good form
⢠Supporting their sound or projecting their voice
⢠Not breathing between phrases
Better performances with better breathing!
PowerLung is the only product to truly train the muscles you use to inhale and exhale as you breathe in and out through the PowerLung. Control the amount of effort needed for your training with the independently adjustable controls to help you achieve your goals. You can adjust it for low resistance for technique training or endurance, higher resistance to provide the same level resistance as your instrument mouthpiece, or anywhere in between.
Using PowerLung regularly, you can:
⢠Tone, condition and strengthen all breathing muscles
⢠Increase volume, exhale flow, and exhale velocity
Here are a few of the ways PowerLung can help you improve your performance:
⢠Be used for breathing technique exercises and training
⢠Enhance breathing performance with an abundant volume of air
⢠Increase your performance and endurance
⢠Help create muscle memory for your performance breathing
Short on time? Late to practice or rehearsal? 5 minutes of PowerLung breathing is like getting a 30-minute breathing warm up. Order now.

removing enamel from magnet wire
any suggestions for removing enamel from magnet wire without scraping the wire???
On larger stuff i have always used sandpaper to clean the enamel off the ends for connection. maybe not the best method but it works. Recently i had to repair a vintage guitar pickup that had some very very fine magnet wire. I had to scrap the wire and use an emery board which was very precarious as there wasn't much of the wire left to get to. Is there a safe and easy way to chemically clean the enamel off?? Zc |

For thin guage I use a bic lighter flame to turn the end of the wire red hot, burning off the enamel. Then pull it through a #0000 steel wool a few times to make it shiny copper again. I then tin it with flux core slobber and an iron. For heavier gauge I use a propane torch then steel wool.
For upwards of #30 AWG the flame will melt the wire back into a ball, eating up the wire, Perhaps a chemical dip in agressive paint stripper like "Polystrippa" would do it.

Use a mild kind of solder grease like Purine for pre tinning. Works pretty well. After tinning, clean with alcohol.

One more secret from good old Dr. Wavebourn: aspirin. I put a wire on a tablet and press it by tip of hot soldering iron.
Attention: vary bad and harmful smell, don't inhale it, use vented camera or an open air!

Another similar substance to Salicylic acid, Aspirin, is Acetic Acid ( Ättiksyra ) This is, like Vinegar, a liquid related to food use and can be easily found. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspirin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinegar http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetic_acid I think it is well worth to try Vinager/Acetic_acid. If Salicylic acid works. We can start with a water mix, diluted concentration, if it is too strong. Of course we also have the weak acid in Lemon fruits, Citrus Acid. --------------------------- The typical for chemical used for cleaning, is that they disolve something. Makes one solution of it. Making this something possible to remove. Quote:

From wikipedia:
Magnet wire: Magnet wire insulating films use (in order of increasing temperature range) polyurethane, polyamide, polyester, polyester-polyimide, polyamide-polyimide (or amide-imide), and polyimide. Enameled wire: The core material is copper, coated with a thin layer of a polyurethane, polyamide, or polyester etc resin - the so-called "enamel". For ease of manufacturing inductive components like transformers and inductors, most new enameled wire has enamel that acts as a flux when burnt during soldering. This means that the electrical connections at the ends can be made without stripping off the insulation first. Older enameled copper wire is normally not like this, and requires sandpapering or scraping to remove the insulation before soldering. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So what we are looking for is something that can disolve: - Polyester .... and those Plastic materials, but does not attack copper. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aceton#Uses Acetone as Cleaning fluid. Acetone ... is often the primary (or only) component in nail polish remover. Ethyl acetate, another organic solvent, is sometimes used as well. Acetone is also used as a superglue remover. It can be used for thinning and cleaning fiberglass resins and epoxies. It is a strong solvent for most plastics and synthetic fibres.

Lock-Ponce De Leon might become a sleeper. Ponce is pretty tough and has a good chin. It was shocking that Juanma starched him out so quick. Lock can be an entertaining fight. That fight will be interesting. Jacobs? Eh I am not big on him either and he is a young prospect. I wonder who they would have him fight. Alvarez? Eh, but it is a good exposure for him and is smart to put him on this undercard on a Mexican Holiday for business purposes. And, Alvarez might become the biggest star of Mexico. So it is nice to see him there. But, I wish they would of picked an opponent his size. I actually preferred Matt Hatton then JM Cotto. But, is a good exposure none the less. Alvarez hasn't really been showed in the U.S.... |

A Dickinson Narrows and a West Philly man are believed to have attempted to steal metal from a Point Breeze land parcel.
Dennis Barnett, 62, of West Philly, was seen inside a fenced-off lot on the 2400 block of Washington Avenue fetching long metal pieces and sliding them through a hole in the fence to Michael Pepe, 46, of the 400 block of Titan Street, who was outside of the fence placing the items in his blue Chevy S-10 pickup truck at 1:40 p.m. Saturday, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said.
Witnesses told officers on patrol that the men were stealing the metal, Tolliver said. Police contacted the 53-year-old lot owner who said there was not a hole in his fence as of that morning and he did not give anyone permission to be on his property.
The pair was arrested at the scene and charged with burglary, conspiracy, criminal mischief, criminal trespassing, theft and receiving stolen property.

In 1990, Congress created the fifth employment-based preference (EB-5) immigrant visa category. Success for immigrant investors in the EB-5 program results in a permanent United States visa (Permanent Green Card for themselves and qualified family members under the age of 21 at the time of filing the initial petition).
The structure of our EB-5 projects provides a security level for our immigrant investors that is second to none. Our investment into basic infrastructure combined with a pooling of capital ensures the job creation requirement of the EB-5 Green Card program is not just met but exceeded.
We understand that selecting a Regional Center for an EB-5 investment is an incredibly difficult decision. For information, please refer to our FAQs -Frequently Asked Questions section, or feel free to contact us directly.

(By Mani) Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) is expected to report upbeat earnings when it reports its third quarter numbers on Oct.18.
Wall Street analysts look for earnings of $10.54 a share, according to analysts polled by Thomson Reuters. The consensus estimate represents an 8.4 percent increase from last year when GOOG earned $9.72 a share.
Google will look to maintain its momentum of above-consensus earnings in the past two quarters. The search giant's earnings have managed to top the Street view thrice in the preceding four quarters. The consensus estimate has dropped from $10.77 to the current estimate of $10.54 within the last three months.
[Related -Google Inc (GOOG) Q4 Earnings Preview: What To Watch?]
Quarterly revenues are expected to be $11.87 billion, a 58 percent growth from last year. In the same quarter last year, Google generated sales of $7.51 billion. The company has delivered double-digit revenue growth in the past four quarters, with average revenue growth of 29.6 percent.
"We expect GOOG to report 3Q results slightly above consensus, after the close on Thursday. Our estimates call for U.S. core revenues to slow 200 bps vs. 2Q on a slightly harder comp, with international revenues slowing 400 bps," Oppenheimer analyst Jason Helfstein said in a note to clients.
Investors would be looking for key metrics such as advertising revenues, cost per click (CPC) and would be eager to know how the Motorola Mobility unit is performing.
For the second quarter, Mountain View, California-based Google reported net income of $2.79 billion, or $8.42 a share, compared with $2.51 billion, or $7.68 a share, last year. Excluding items, it earned $10.12 a share, which topped the Street view of $10.04 per share for the quarter. Consolidated revenues for the quarter rose 35 percent to $12.21 billion.
[Related -Boost Your Dividend Yield]
Google's mainstay advertising revenues for the quarter were up 21 percent. Aggregate paid clicks, which include clicks related to ads served on Google sites as well as sites of its AdSense partners, grew 42 percent and average cost-per-click, which includes clicks related to ads served on Google sites and the sites of AdSense partners, fell 16 percent.
During the third quarter, CPC pricing appears to be improving, with total spending accelerating, and a larger sample size is supportive of strong results.
"Aggregate third-party data shows CPCs trending up year-over-year. While we criticized this data in the past, a larger data set appears to show greater correlation to historical results. We view this as a directional indicator only. However, the trend has held in recent quarters and is supportive of stronger results year-over-year," Helfstein noted.
Google has been trying to cut costs at its Motorola Mobility unit. In mid-August, Google said it plans to cut about 4,000 jobs and close certain facilities at Motorola in an effort to return the loss making mobile devices unit to profitability. Google has also reportedly shaken up Motorola management by cutting 40 percent of its vice presidents.
The planned restructuring actions mean that Google would incur total charges to the tune of about $390 million. Of these, $300 million in severance-related charges will be recognized in the third quarter of 2012.
Investors will watch for an update on restructuring actions at Motorola. The search giant hints that it continues to evaluate further restructuring actions at the unit.
Wall Street has a bullish opinion on Google shares as 35 out of the 42 analysts covering the stock has a rating of "strong buy" or "buy," while the remaining seven of them recommend "hold."
Shares of Google, which has a market cap of $244 billion, gained more than 25 percent in the third quarter. They have been trading between $556.52 and $774.38 for the past 52-weeks.

No I think I am maxed out there until I start my masters program 2015.
Chena, how long have you been in school? The reason I ask is that if you have maxed out already, and you don't have a bachelor's yet, you could be looking at some real problems financing the remainder of your schooling.
I have to say I agree with Invincible. The cap on federal loans is quite high, and enough to get a 4 year degree even at some expensive schools. How do you intend to pay these loans back? Are you sure that your expected income with cover them? This may not be the best time to continue your school, you may need to spend some time getting your financial house in order, and then find a lower cost way to achieve your goals. It really does suck that you haven't been able to get your degree affordably, but making the situation worse won't help you going forward. The Rebuilding Your Credit forum here is full of great advice about how to improve your score by managing your credit card balances and dealing with those collection accounts.
The cap on federal loans is there for a reason. Take this as a warning that you need to think carefully about how much you're borrowing, why, and how you will repay it.
In my opinion, there are no "good" private student loans. They have very limited borrower protections (unlike federal loans which come with extended and income-based repayment plans, deferrments, certain forgiveness programs, etc) and they basically cannot be discharged via bankruptcy, which means you're stuck with them until you get them paid.
Good luck to you with whatever you decide.
I orginally went to school to be an RN. That lasted about a year. Then I we and received my Assoc in Interior Design. Now Im back to become an Occupational Therapist. I have 1 more year before I am maxed out and I will be a Junior then. I only need one year of private funding before I am elg for gov loans again.
So to combine the info in your other thread (because it's pretty relevant here):
You've been trying to get a private student loan, with no success as yet.
You are nearly maxed for federal loans.
I thought about you quite some time, actually. I worked for a few years at a community college where it wasn't unusual to run into situations like yours. Do you have a back-up plan if you aren't able to get these loans to go to school? Because (and I say this as gently as I can) it's entirely possible that you may not be able to get a loan. Which doesn't necessarily mean that you can't finish your degree, but it does mean you need to think about possible options if you can't borrow the money. Are you able to go part-time so that you can work and pay for school yourself? Do you have a Plan B?
Federal Grad Plus Loans require a credit application, and they are going to be looking pretty hard at your overall debt. You should be aware of that if you are counting on that money for grad school.

- bbc.co.uk/travelnews/kent
- Outcome
- Quality map production enhances user experience
The client
BBC Future Media and Technology focuses on innovative new technology formats. They aim to provide content and navigation on demand and engage in two-way communication with audiences via different devices. FM&T are concerned with the creation and development of services and applications across the BBC.
The challenge
The BBC required the development of a tool which would allow client-side developers to quickly and easily place high-quality maps onto both public-facing BBC sites and their internal intranet. They wanted to work with a company that understood the importance of producing innovative new online functionality to provide benefits for developers and users alike. It was crucial that any work done by Box UK integrated with the BBC's existing mapping development, and reinforced the organisation's core brand and values.
Our solution
Box UK used an Agile management approach on this project, working with the BBC's existing maps and knowledge database to create a Mapping Toolkit that allows external developers to easily and efficiently create engaging, informative online maps. The system consists of separate modules that can be added and removed as necessary, ensuring that the toolkit is flexible enough to provide the BBC with a wealth of mapping possibilities. The toolkit also has the capacity for future growth and development, ensuring that the BBC remains at the forefront of online innovation.
The outcome
Our work to develop the Mapping Toolkit has provided the BBC with the ability to easily produce interactive online maps, with unlimited possible applications and variations. The Toolkit has received positive feedback from map producers and online users alike. In introducing the system throughout the organisation, the BBC have ensured all future maps adhere to their design guidelines, providing a unified mapping solution and a common, easy to use experience.
"We're really pleased with the way the project has gone. It's provided another positive example of where the BBC can work in partnership with external suppliers to deliver fantastic results."Product Manager, Nations and Regions

Daredevil is the latest and darkest feature film adaptation of a Marvel Comic to hit cinemas. Writer-director Mark Steven Johnson – a self-proclaimed fan of the comic – borrows liberally from past issues of Daredevil for his big-screen take on The Man Without Fear. In other words, Daredevil is arguably the most faithful and accurate translation yet of a Marvel Comic to film, resulting in a fun but flawed popcorn flick that most fans should enjoy. Yet there were plenty of young people – this film's target audience – who walked out of the screening I attended grumbling about how "terrible" they thought Daredevil was.
Overall, Daredevil's problems lie primarily with its narrative. The film is overstuffed with subplots that fans will remember from the comics, yet it still suffers from a lack of character development and a truncated storyline. Also, its visual style is too beholden to The Matrix and to music videos.
Daredevil recalls the origin of its title character (Ben Affleck), his early days as a costumed vigilante, his romance with the enigmatic Elektra Natchios (Jennifer Garner) and his first battle with The Kingpin (Michael Clarke Duncan) and Bullseye (Colin Farrell). Blind lawyer Matt Murdock may have lost his sight as a youth but his remaining senses were heightened to a superhuman degree, enabling him to "see" thanks to his newfound "radar sense" (perhaps the film's best visual effect). He's also grown into one helluva street fighter.
Daredevil is essentially a revenge story where, as in Sam Fuller's Underworld U.S.A., a young boy grows up nursing a vendetta against the gangsters who slew his father. Unlike the anti-hero in that Film Noir classic, Matt Murdock is prone to retrospection and ultimately chooses to be a good guy rather than a bad one. That's his character arc in this film but it's still more development than either Elektra or The Kingpin received.
As cool as Jennifer Garner was as the ass-kicking femme fatale Elektra, she lacked the mystique necessary for the character. She was also not given enough to do. There's precious little information provided on who this martial arts-trained girl is and why she even likes Matt. Is it just because she's impressed that a blind man can fight so well? (I also couldn't help but miss her Greek accent; maybe it was better, though, that Garner didn't attempt one than to do it poorly.)
Elektra and Matt's relationship felt arbitrary. What makes the romance between them tragic and memorable in the comics is that it ended (badly). It's the prospect of what might have been, of lost love that makes it poignant. Thus, too much screen time is spent going through the motions just waiting for the inevitable to happen without ever really explaining to us why these characters love each other to begin with. That's how I felt when I read an early draft of the script and that's how I felt after seeing the movie. It's Daredevil's biggest weakness.
Wilson Fisk, the mythic "Kingpin of Crime," was another character who got shortchanged. As with the Elektra/Matt romance, I felt the same way about the Kingpin's role in this story when I read the script as I did when I saw the movie. He's a weak antagonist because he delegates every deed to other characters. Fisk doesn't really come alive until the climactic, almost Old West-like showdown with Daredevil. Duncan handles himself fine given what he had to work with, and I liked that he underplayed it. (His Suge Knight-like introduction made the audience I saw it with bust up laughing.)
The problem is that Kingpin simply isn't given anything to do and the only reason why he seems powerful and imposing is because the actor playing him is so gargantuan. I couldn't help but think of The Godfather where we understand how powerful Don Corleone is by seeing how he treats people and how they react to him. The Kingpin needed something like that here.
Bullseye, as you've probably heard, steals the show. Colin Farrell finally justifies all the studio-created hype about him with this malevolent (and hilarious) portrayal. Like the Kingpin, Bullseye is given a memorable, rap-infused introduction. Farrell seems to be channeling young Mel Gibson at times (watch the way he moves his eyes and then remember Mel in Lethal Weapon) but there's nothing wrong with that. His scene on an airplane is a killer (literally). Farrell also injects a much needed wit and energy into Daredevil. It's quite simply this rising star's best work to date.
Another scene-stealer is Jon Favreau as "Foggy" Nelson, Matt Murdock's beefy law partner and best friend. Favreau has precious little screen time but he milks it for all its worth and has several memorable zingers. He also conveys the love and devotion Foggy has for Matt without ever having to say it.
So how does Ben Affleck acquit himself as The Man Without Fear? Not too badly, actually. He never made me laugh at him even though I'm still not crazy about his costume (he looks like an S&M version of the Kool-Aid guy). Remember how awkward – almost painful – it could be to watch Michael Keaton struggling inside his Batman outfit? That's not the case here. So while Affleck never embarrasses himself he was also never as tortured as I expected Matt Murdock to be. There's something so affable about Affleck that it was sometimes difficult to believe him as a man nursing a lifelong thirst for vengeance. Overall, though, Big Ben pulls off his fight scenes and was able to make me feel genuine sympathy for the plight of Matt Murdock.
My main problems with Daredevil lie with its narrative and with Mr. Johnson's visual style. Having read the script, I know that an entire subplot was cut from the final film. This subplot featured Coolio as a client of Murdock & Nelson's who is falsely accused of murdering a call girl. By discovering the truth behind this murder, Matt is able not only to exonerate his client but to expose Wilson Fisk as the much-rumored "Kingpin of Crime." Not a shred of this subplot remains in the film, which would've provided it with a sense of there being something grave at stake for the hero to achieve. Without it Matt no longer drives the narrative forward; he becomes a reactive character rather than an active one.
I understand having to trim subplots for the sake of time – and, Lord knows, there were enough subplots in this film – but cutting this particular one only succeeded in lowering the stakes for our hero and in making the villains the driving force in the story instead.
These cuts only muddled the plot to Daredevil. Most of the story's emphasis is placed on New York Post reporter Ben Urich's (Joe Pantoliano, one of two members of The Sopranos to pop up in the film) quest to discover the identity of the Kingpin of Crime, one man who allegedly controls all of the rackets in New York City. Why so many characters found this premise far-fetched is beyond me. They never heard of Carlo Gambino, John Gotti or Boss Tweed?
Fisk is apparently trying to frame Elektra's dad (Erick Avari) as the Kingpin and then, for some reason, he sets out to kill both Natchios and Elektra. I still don't know why Fisk wanted Elektra dead as she didn't seem to know anything about what her dad was mixed up in. The whole latter half of the film hinges on Elektra's life being at risk so understanding why it was would've been nice. While I'm thankful that there wasn't any contrived "destroy the city/world" scheme, the villains needed something more to do than what was offered here.
My other main problem with Daredevil was with its visual style. As much fun as The Matrix was it's ruined Hollywood action films. Apparently, every fight scene nowadays must employ wire-work and Daredevil is the latest victim of this trend. Last time I checked, Daredevil had super-senses not superhuman agility or prowess. Characters here defy gravity almost as easily as those in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. And how many times must we see a character run up a wall and do a flip? It's old hat now.
Also, too many action sequences were over-the-top. Young Matt's (Scott Terra) fight with local bullies was needlessly showy. Likewise, the elder Matt's almost spaghetti Western-like first fight with Elektra was cute but, again, over-the-top. Rock songs, which will only serve to date the film, are blared throughout the fight scenes giving them an overall music video feel. I would've preferred it if the filmmakers had used an original score; so far not a single Marvel movie has had a memorable score, have you noticed?
There were also too many elements here from Batman, which makes Daredevil the film that Batman should've been. Ben Urich's role is similar to that of Alexander Knox's in the first Batman. We meet the Kingpin by whipping up the side of a building to his penthouse lair, a la Jack Palance and Christopher Walken's respective introductions. And why do so many comic book movies end with battles inside churches (both Batman and The Crow did)? Also, and this is venturing into SPOILER territory, the "is Elektra dead or isn't she?" coda was too reminiscent of the end of Batman Returns for my liking. And don't forget the old "villain falling to his doom" moment (Joker, Penguin, Two-Face, Mr. Freeze). These are nit-picks but they only fuel critics' claims that Daredevil is a mere Batman knock-off.
Daredevil's greatest success is in capturing the grit and agony of Matt Murdock's lone war on crime. You feel his pain, to borrow a line from Clinton. This is the only comic book film I've seen where the superhero is given to any introspection. Batman never seemed to think twice about what he did. Spider-Man's character arc essentially ended once he realized that with great power comes great responsibility, which comes about halfway through the film after he confronts Uncle Ben's killer.
Daredevil works best as a character study of a superhero. Was Daredevil a fun film? Yes. Would I see it again? Yes, and I'll buy the DVD but I probably would've anyway. Being a fan, though, couldn't blind me to the film's problems. Hopefully, Daredevil 2 will be as much fun as the original while boasting a stronger, more fully developed narrative.

hmm, ive heard of this manga... sounded pretty good.
I've just finished reading the 10th book and I really love this series! I had been looking on the internet at the pictures for about 6 months, and then I walked into a comic book stoor with my friend and I saw it on teh shelf so I bought #1 and now I can't wait for #11 to come out!
Has anyone else read this?
I ordered the DVDs through www.justmanga.com and they should be here any day now. yay!
hmm, ive heard of this manga... sounded pretty good.

This manga/anime is actually called "Ayashi no Ceres"
VIZ changed the title because the title is actually a Japanese pun which can't be translated.
I've read up to volume 9, but I'm buying volume 10 this friday when I go to the city.
Finding the anime in my country through, is quite impossible. It hasn't been released and the only options for me to see it would be to eith buy it bootleged or pay a small fortune importing it from America.
But anyway, I like the series, I don't love it but I like it. I like the art and the story but the melodrama tends to all get a little overwhemling at times. Especially with what's happened to Aki and all that. But it's still a good series, I think probably one of Yuu Watase's best, the stories really got originally and substance to it.
I can't wait to read how it will end.

Number 10 is really good. I like the twist in it.
I got the dvds in yesterday. I really don't like Aya's voice over. It's horrible. But I guess I'll have to get used to it. Or just watch the subtitles.
Ceres is the first manga I've ever read, I really like it though. I want to get the art book for it because the pictures are amazing.
i loved this series. i think this is one of Yuu Watase's best serious so far. but i love all of her series.
i am buying the dvd's here soon and look forward to seeing how the go along with the books.
ceres is a really good anime, i have the collect of the dvds for it and i've read the manga but the anime and the manga dont really have the same storyline...oh well its still awesome

Kansas House candidate John Wilson chats on LJWorld.com
November 1, 2012
This chat has already taken place. Read the transcript below.
God afternoon, everyone. We're chatting with John Wilson, who is running as a Democrat in the race to represent the 10th District in the Kansas House. I'm Alex Parker, the Journal-World's digital editor.
We've invited John's opponent, Erica Anderson, to chat, and we'll let you know when you can ask her questions.
John, why don't you start off by telling us a bit about yourself, and why you're running.
John Wilson:
Thanks Alex, and thanks to the Journal World for hosting this chat for me and other candidates. First, I want to share a little bit about the most important thing in my life--my family. My wife, Jami Jones, and I got married a little over a year ago. We live in the Centennial Neighborhood in Lawrence and recently welcomed our first child into the world! Our son, Parker, is just a little over three months old, and has already brought us so much joy. I should say that I couldn't be running for office without the incredible support of Jami.
When I'm not spending time with the family, I work for a national non-profit focused on creating healthier communities and preventing childhood obesity. I've been working there for six years in various roles, most recently as a national adviser on healthy out-of-school time settings (Think Boys and Girls Clubs, YMCAs, etc...). I help them incorporate healthy eating and physical activity into their programming.
And when I'm not working or spending time with my family, I've been meeting voters in the 10th District (SE Lawrence, Baldwin City, Vinland and rural SE Douglas County). I'm running for office because I'm frustrated and concerned by what's happening in the KS Legislature. Over the years it seems as if our leaders have lost the ability to craft policy that genuinely improves peoples' lives. It seems as if there is a greater interest in a particular ideology rather than a focus on improving schools, creating jobs, helping families and generally helping improve the conditions of everyone in the state. I feel that I have the temperament, the experience and the commitment to make a difference.
Question for John Wilson:
What makes you qualified to be our representative? More specifically, what experience do you have that will allow you to be more successful than your opponent?
John Wilson:
Thanks Reed66060! When voting for a representative, I think people should consider two things: What's their position on the issues and what is their ability to work with people and get things done. It's pretty easy to share my positions on issues like education, jobs, taxes, the environment. However, I'm not going to know everything about every issue (and I'm not sure there anyone who does). What I think sets me apart from my opponent and makes me qualified to represent you and the rest of the 10th District is how I get things done. I pride myself in my ability to work with people with whom I disagree (and do it without being mean). I have lots of experience working with different sectors--business, healthcare, non-profit, education, government--and have been able to bring people to the table to focus on solutions. I also appreciate the nuance and interconnectedness of the issues and policies that affect our state. So, in short, I believe it is who I am as a person and how I work that makes me ready for this position.
Mr. Wilson, the statehouse is divided and dysfunctional. Legislators far more experienced (and Republican) than you have had trouble advancing even common sense ideas there the last two years. How can we expect you to have any more success?
John Wilson:
Thanks Lindleysnow! By the way, I love your username--two of my favorite buildings on the KU Campus! I think it is abundantly clear that the partisanship of DC has made its way into Topeka. That's frustrating for a variety of reasons, primarily because it slows the progress of the State. Before I continue, I should be clear that I'm incredibly proud to be a Democrat in Kansas because of the values of shared responsibility, opportunity and education for which we stand. I have also been a vocal critic of Governor Brownback and some of his allies' policies. I strongly disagree with their positions and will propose alternatives to them--but I am not mean about it. I stay focused on the issues and, more importantly, the solutions to issues. So, if there is a great idea presented to me, I don't care what letter is in front of the name of the person who proposed it. Ultimately, I think we've somehow lost the ability as a community to disagree with each other without taking it personally. If elected, I will treat all of my colleagues with respect and always make sure that my first foot forward is one of reconciliation and good will. At the end of the day, if I take my personality and ego out of the situation--and stay focused on solutions--I think I can at least contribute to a more positive working environment in Topeka.
John, what would be your biggest legislative priorities if you're elected?
John Wilson:
Thanks Alex! I predict that this legislative session is going to be especially challenging for everyone, regardless of how long we've been in office. The recent tax plan approved by Governor Brownback is going to dramatically affect the State budget. The plan is expected to create a $2.5 billion deficit over the next five years, which means we'll have to make significant cuts to the budget or raise revenues (by either raising taxes or adding more taxpayers). These significant budget cuts will certainly be tough for legislators to approve, but they're going to be even tougher for teachers, students, families and small businesses to handle. Nonetheless, I will make education my top priority. Education is the best investment we can make to strengthen the economy. Beyond education, I will focus on creating jobs by targeting investments in transportation, bio-sciences, technical education and job training, and even alternative energy development. These are industry that could all create jobs or prepare people for jobs right here in Kansas. Beyond policy issues, it is my priority to be responsive to the needs of my constituents and to maintain open communication with them throughout the session and beyond.
What has Governor Brownback or the Legislature as a whole done recently that you support?
John Wilson:
Thanks Fred_Mertz! That's a great question. Well, I am happy with the small increase in per pupil funding that was included in their budget last session. It is a small step toward fully restoring education funding to levels that will contribute to academic achievement, well-prepared students, and outstanding teachers. Also, from what I can tell, it looks as if most legislators I know are sticking to their commitment to Kansans to let the recently adopted sales tax expire this summer.
What will it take for equal voices to be heard under Kansas' current administration? It seems that Brownback and his group of wingmen are strangling any sort of moderation left in this states political arena. Not only do I fear for the education of our youth but I am becoming increasingly concerned over how we will deal with the inevitable destruction of our middle class under the Brownback agenda.
I feel like we are fighting an unwinnable fight.
John Wilson:
Thanks Jazzerman! This is tough question, because I think there are some issues that will never have a legislative or policy solution--it takes changes in our culture and communities...and ultimately changes in our personal interactions with people. There are lots of things beyond my control that are shaping the discourse in the Statehouse. However, I can control my own attitudes and actions. I will be fair, open-minded and reasonable--and I hope that will be reciprocated by my colleagues. You might call my approach a moderate approach. Unfortunately, "moderation" isn't sexy. It doesn't raise money, it doesn't rally a crowd, it doesn't fire up a based (usually). So, the system in which we work pulls people into their respective camp and rarely rewards people who can bridge the divide. So, it's with a moderate approach--one that puts solutions over score keeping--that I hope to head to the Legislature. To be clear, though, I will passionately defend ideas and policies in which I believe--and will push back against misinformation...but I will do so with respect.
That's all the time we have for questions. John, do you have any parting thoughts you'd like to share with our readers?
John Wilson:
Again I want to thank the Journal World for hosting this chat. It's refreshing to have a forum in the media that allows for thoughtful discussion and non-soundbyte answers. I'm sure we didn't get to everyone's question, so I invite anybody reading to visit my website at www.JohnWilsonforKansas.com and send me a note. If you live in the 10th District and I haven't spoken with you at your door, I apologize. I've been going door-to-door since June trying to meet as many voters as possible. I think it is essential to meet the people you hope to represent. I want to thank everyone who has taken time away from their family, friends and personal lives to run for office--it's not easy, but it's important. Remember to vote on November 6th or earlier at one of the early-voting locations around the County. (BALDWIN CITY residents can vote Saturday, November 3 at the Fire Station from 9-3). Finally, I want to thank my family, friends and other supporters who've helped make this campaign a reality--especially Jami and Parker!
Thanks, John, for spending some time with us. And thank you, readers, for some great questions.

John seems like a nice guy. Glad he promised not to be mean to people in the legislature.

I lived in the same scholarship hall with him about ten years ago. He is indeed, quite a nice guy :-). It's a shame I'm not in his district.
xyz 2 years, 6 months ago
I would urge opponent Erica Anderson to find the time to do a JW online chat. Here's my questions for her. 1) You have participated in very few public forums and yet you mention on your website that . If you are elected, how will you assure those whom you represent that you will be in Topeka every day of the legislative session? 2) From June - October, contributions to your campaign = $1,100 as follows: $500, Koch brothers; $500, KS Chamber of Commerce PAC; and $100, Stand up for Kansas PAC. Why did you accept money from these 3 PACs? Why haven't you put forth a local, grassroots effort to raise contributions from people who actually live in the district that you say you want to represent? 3) Who exactly will you be representing if you are elected?
xyz 2 years, 6 months ago
Edit on question #1) You have participated in very few public forums and yet you mention on your website that listening to and representing the people in your district is important to you.

state-owned enterprises. The fact that formal government procurement might be open some day without the use of these catalogues is a very minimal step. This evolution resembles Japan, which didn't open its procurement until economic forces induced it to open up."
On the positive side, he said—in health issues, climate change, and others, where Germany and the United States face common threats—there is room for cooperation. "Non-Chinese companies are betting that China will eventually buy wind equipment from them; otherwise, Vestas and GE and Suzlon would not be doubling their bets in China, which is what they're doing. Their hope is that things will turn around."
Dr. Dahlman suggested that "what we need to do in the dialogues is to have very frank, tough talk." He underlined the problem of the Chinese government's industrial policy, which includes both requirements of technology transfer and rules that make it difficult for foreign firms to compete. Because the market is so large and fast-growing, he said, the firms continue to go to China for short-term returns, even though they operate at a disadvantage in an uncertain climate.
Charles Ebinger of the Brookings Institution raised several questions about energy. He questioned the fate of the nuclear reactor industry that seemed to rest on a confluence of trends: Germany is discussing the abandonment of nuclear power, the United States is restrained by economic factors from building new nuclear plants, and China plans to become a major vendor in the nuclear marketplace. This, he said, would seem to weaken the opportunities of GE, Siemens, and other traditional vendors. Also, he said, the Chinese, who are heavily dependent on coal, are now building "the best coal plants in the world" and "moving rapidly to prove that sequestration of CO2 can work."
Ambassador Wolff noted that "China is run by engineers who have a clear conception of problems they face." As coal represents an increasing proportion of their energy use, they realize its costs in terms of pollution. At the same time, China has the largest wind energy installation to date, and is pressing ahead on its renewable energy infrastructure.

Like clockwork, market researcher comScore has released its latest figures on how the smartphone war is panning out. The digits cover the three-month average period ending in July and include data on more than 30,000 domestic mobile subscribers.
Unsurprisingly, Samsung ranked as the top handset manufacturer, followed closely by LG in second and Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL ) coming in third. These digits cover the U.S. mobile market, including smartphones and dumbphones.

Apple | 14.4% | 16.3% |
Motorola | 12.5% | 11.2% |

There weren't any major changes sequentially. Year-over-year would have been more insightful, but those figures weren't given directly. Looking on the smartphone platform front, iOS and Google (Nasdaq: GOOG ) Android continue to grow, although their collective growth is beginning to slow as the market reaches saturation. The two combined already comprise nearly 90% of the market.

comScore estimates that 114 million people own smartphones domestically, up 7% sequentially. Research In Motion has crossed a gloomy threshold into single-digit territory, and I'd expect the BlackBerry maker to continue its losses in the near term. BlackBerry 10 isn't due out until next year, assuming no further delays, so only then would RIM have a chance at turning the tide if its new OS platform can impress consumers.
Microsoft shrank during the quarter, as the software giant is in the midst of a transition of its own from Windows Phone 7 to Windows Phone 8, the first devices of which are just now starting to be unveiled to the market.
This has long been a two-horse race, but that fact isn't going to stop RIM and Microsoft from duking it out for the bronze medal.

Memphis: Terracotta UC 33447
Terracotta figurine of woman. Seated with legs drawn up and apart, broken off at knees. The right hand points to the vagina. The interpretation of this and similar figures is still under discussion. The gesture of the woman is perhaps magical and intended to influence female fertility.

Consumers tolerance for add-on fees will ultimately reach a limit, says transportation economist
MILWAUKEE- Airlines, hotels and car rental companies don't plan on slowing down their industry fees anytime soon, according to a recent USA TODAY article.
For instance, the article discovered that airlines throughout the world reported making $22.6 billion in fees for add-ons such as extra services and frequent-flier programs in 2011, a $20 billion jump since 2007, according to a review by IdeaWorks Company.
As a consumer, when will enough be enough?
"That will be determined by the marketplace," says Aaron Gellman, a professor of transportation at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management. "That sort of thing (increase in fees) will ultimately reach a limit."
Gellman didn't speculate to Newsradio 620 WTMJ's "Wisconsin's Afternoon News with John Mercure" what the consumers' threshold was for taking on additional costs, but says some companies have started to react to consumer backlash to fees.
"Delta Airlines has responded by saying if you have an American Express card that they sponsor, then you will get one bag checked fee," notes Gellman.
Once you land from your flight, rental car companies and hotels are continuing the fees.
Gellman says when he travels he notices some nicer hotels charge for use of their wireless internet in your room, but if you go into the lobby -- you can access it for free.
"That one stumps me," says Gellman. "I have found that to be amazing, irritating and doesn't hold much economic sense."
Gellman says don't be surprised if you see more fees for car rentals, or even cruises.
An example found by USA TODAY had Thrifty's economic rental car start at $32.72, then charge you for GPS usage, an infant car seat or a fast pass to avoid long lines at electronic toll booths.

Antidepressants During Pregnancy: Safe? »
"Jan. 1, 2013 -- Antidepressant use during pregnancy, long debated for its safety, is linked with a higher overall risk of stillbirth and newborn death. Now, a new study shows that risk may not be warranted.
"After taking maternal char"...
Forfivo XL
Human Overdose Experience
Overdoses of up to 30 g or more of bupropion have been reported. Seizure was reported in approximately one third of all cases. Other serious reactions reported with overdoses of bupropion alone included hallucinations, loss of consciousness, sinus tachycardia, and ECG changes such as conduction disturbances or arrhythmias. Fever, muscle rigidity, rhabdomyolysis, hypotension, stupor, coma, and respiratory failure have been reported mainly when bupropion was part of multiple drug overdoses.
Although most patients recovered without sequelae, deaths associated with overdoses of bupropion alone have been reported in patients ingesting large doses of the drug. Multiple uncontrolled seizures, bradycardia, cardiac failure, and cardiac arrest prior to death were reported in these patients.
Overdosage Management
Ensure an adequate airway, oxygenation, and ventilation. Monitor cardiac rhythm and vital signs. EEG monitoring is also recommended for the first 48 hours post-ingestion. General supportive and symptomatic measures are also recommended. Induction of emesis is not recommended. Gastric lavage with a large-bore orogastric tube with appropriate airway protection, if needed, may be indicated if performed soon after ingestion or in symptomatic patients.
Activated charcoal should be administered. There is no experience with the use of forced diuresis, dialysis, hemoperfusion, or exchange transfusion in the management of bupropion overdoses. No specific antidotes for bupropion are known.
Due to the dose-related risk of seizures with FORFIVO XL, hospitalization following suspected overdose should be considered. Based on studies in animals, it is recommended that seizures be treated with intravenous benzodiazepine administration and other supportive measures, as appropriate.
In managing overdosage, consider the possibility of multiple drug involvement. The physician should consider contacting a poison control center for additional information on the treatment of any overdose. Telephone numbers for certified poison control centers are listed in the Physicians' Desk Reference (PDR).
FORFIVO XL is contraindicated in patients with the following:
- Seizure disorder because these patients may have a lower seizure threshold.
- Treated currently with other bupropion products because the incidence of seizure is dose dependent.
- Current or prior diagnosis of bulimia or anorexia nervosa because of a higher incidence of seizures noted in patients treated for bulimia with the immediate-release formulation of bupropion in a pre-marketing clinical trial.
- Undergoing abrupt discontinuation of alcohol or sedatives because of a lower seizure threshold in these conditions.
- Concurrent administration of monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors because MAOIs potentially can enhance the CNS toxicity. At least 14 days should elapse between discontinuation of an MAO inhibitor and initiation of treatment with FORFIVO XL.
- Known hypersensitivity to bupropion or the other ingredients of FORFIVO XL tablets Anaphylactoid/anaphylactic reactions and Stevens-Johnson syndrome have been reported [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].

Paul formed as a tropical storm over the eastern Pacific Ocean on October 13, 2012. By October 15, when the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra satellite captured this true-color image, Paul was a hurricane bearing down on Baja California. At that time, Paul sported a large, partially cloud filled eye and the distinct apostrophe-shape of a strong storm.
At roughly the same time that MODIS captured this image, the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) reported that Paul had maximum sustained winds of 90 miles (150 kilometers) per hour. At 11:00 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time on October 16, Paul's wind speeds were the same, and the center of the storm was located about 45 miles (70 kilometers) south of Cabo San Lazaro. The NHC reported that Paul was moving northwards at about 18 miles (28 kilometers) per hour, and was expected to make landfall within a few hours. The NHC warned of strong winds, heavy rains, and a dangerous storm surge for parts of Baja.
The next day, on October 17, Hurricane Paul made landfall along Baja California and tracked north along the coast. As it moved north, the storm continued to weaken. By October 18, the remnants of Paul became absorbed into a larger-scale weak trough of low pressure located north of 20 degrees North latitude and between 115 and 130 West longitude. The short-lived storm brought wind and rain to Baja California, but little damage.

The oxygen sensor in your car protects the engine and also supports it to perform effectively. It mainly helps in inspecting the fuel/air mixture level to maintain the performance of the engine. The oxygen sensor has two ends. One end of the Chrysler Newport oxygen sensor checks the amount of fuel/air and the other end passes that information to the computer. The main responsibility of the oxygen sensor in your Chrysler Newport is to adjust the fuel/air ratio, if it varies from the normal level.
If the fuel/air mixture level goes high, it will create pollution due to the unburned fuel whereas lean mixture tends to produce more nitrogen-oxide pollutants and in some cases, the performance of the engine will get affected. The Chrysler Newport oxygen sensor is located in the exhaust manifold to find rich or lean mixture level. If the Chrysler Newport oxygen sensor malfunctions, you need to replace it at the earliest. At Car Parts Warehouse you can get the best quality oxygen sensor for your Chrysler Newport at a very much affordable price.
Here at our warehouse, we provide OEM replacement and aftermarket parts to our customers. All our car parts are the best in quality and are tested for quality to meet the industry standards.

Who has made the biggest impact in 2006?
Who has made the biggest Impact ?
Biggest Impact? You kind of have to say Sylvia just because he has beat the best heavyweight in the UFC twice, even tho I hate him LOL
Another impact I think is Mike Swick, he's won his 2 fights in 2006 very decisivley.....hes going to make even a bigger splash by the end of the year, setting himself up for a titleshot in early 2007 if not before then |
My thoughts exactly on Sylvia, I really hate the guy too. But, He has defied the odds twice this year and successfully defended his title. Swick got a nice win over Riggs, but we'll see in September who he fights and see what happens from there.
Bare in mind, he also beat Steve Vigneault at UFC vs Canada, just about as quick as he beat Riggs....with the newly patented Swickatine :) haha i love it
A few guys come to mind
1. Chuck Liddell - Defending his crown against Couture and sent him into retirement with a brutal 2nd Rd. KO , he also avenged his loss against Jeremy Horn at UFC 54 , defending his title 2x against 2 top fighters. 2, Georges St Pierre - He made Frank Trigg look like an amateur at UFc 52 , he was able to pull off a rather impressive victory over Sean Sherk and he was also able to beat a top P4P fighter in the world BJ Penn. He is finally getting his title shot that he rightfully deserves 3. Rich Franklin 4. Matt Hughes 5. Dan Henderson |
I'd say Matt Hughes had a better year the GSP, if you all remember he BEAT GSP AND he beat the bets BJJ fighter in the world in Royce Gracie. I think so far i'd give it to Sylvia, i like syvlia just because hes always the underdog, but i think he's had the best year victory wise.

Washington, Nov 9: Bradley Cooper has revealed that he almost turned down the "Sexiest Man Alive" title by People magazine, after his crowning spawned outrage from devastated Ryan Gosling fans, and protestors even picketed the magazine's offices in New York City.
"It was brutal," ABC News quoted him as saying.
"I really did think it was joke. I thought Dax Shepard [Cooper's friend and star of the TV series, 'Parenthood'] did it. Then I thought, 'People aren't going to like that.' I really thought that.
"I thought, 'This isn't a good thing,' and I went, 'Do I have to do it? Can I say no?' They're like, yeah, you could, but be thankful,' and I said OK, OK," he said.
Despite the controversy it raised, Cooper joked he petitioned to make the "Sexiest Man Alive" title a two-year reign.
"That's what I was hoping for," he said.
"Like Bloomberg. I just feel like, why not? I think honestly it makes everyone feel better that, 'If this guy is the sexiest, then I am doing well'," he added. (ANI)

Hundreds rally against racist group 'Lehava' in Jerusalem
The rally comes after three members of the group were arrested as suspects in the arson attack against a mixed Jewish-Arab school. Hundreds of people protested in West Jerusalem's Zion Square Saturday night against racism and called to outlaw Lehava, a racist, anti-misegenation group . Three of its members were charged several days ago with an arson attack against a mixed Jewish-Arab school two weeks ago. The protest was organized by a group of activists who identify as: "Jerusalem doesn't stay silent in the face of racism." Protesters held signs in Hebrew and Arabic that read "Stop the racism" and "Jews…
