Oh, I definitely agree. It surprised me to see people at Art Walk selling prints so cheaply. If someone does not value their own work, or see it too much as a commodity, then that is their choice. Unfortunately, I don't want to show or sell my work under such conditions, and I think others doing that make it tougher on everyone else. One of the funniest was two different artists sharing a booth that had prints for sale, with a sign "1 for $20, 3 for $75" . . . my guess is this is the mentality of client they were attempting to attract. It reminds me of that saying that some people know the price of everything, and the cost of nothing.
There are unfortunately people out their who place little value in what they do. On another forum, I saw a suggestion from a professional stock shooter to price things lower, but show the clients wanting low priced images items that are lower quality, then further suggesting showing better quality higher priced images to try upselling the client. Seriously, not one other person on that forum agreed with that approach; the worse part is that for the one guy who did post that to a professional forum, there are probably several hundred just like him who never post to the internet, in other words I doubt he was the sole exception. It is people like him who place little value in their work that are causing huge problems. What other profession survives on arbitrary and variable pricing?
The other way to look at this, and the reason I mentioned drawing, is that you cannot buy your way into good photography. This should be the incentive and help to those new to photography; the idea not that you need certain gear, but that you need to work the best with what you can afford. I have several very old cameras I use for some of my fine art photography just for that concept, though I look at it in a way that when these old cameras were new, there were people making quite compelling images with them. The art, to get back to the original posting, was in the creative vision of the photographers; they just happened to have technically lesser gear than is available to photographers today.

Ecosystem Restoration
Contact: Dan DuBray, 202-513-0574
Supporting the Department's priority on Ecosystem Restoration is a key underpinning of Reclamation's mission. In order to meet its mission goals related to delivering water and generating power, a part of its programs must focus on the protection and restoration of the aquatic and riparian environments influenced by its operations. Ecosystem restoration involves a large number of Reclamation's activities, including Reclamation's Endangered Species Act recovery programs, which directly address the environmental aspects of the Reclamation mission.
Columbia and Snake River Salmon Recovery Project
The President's FY 2016 budget request for implementation of the Biological Opinions (BiOps) for the Federal Columbia River Power System (FCRPS) is $18.0 million. The FCRPS is a group of 14 hydropower projects owned and operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Reclamation and operated as a coordinated system. The Bonneville Power Administration markets and distributes the power from these hydropower projects to generate 24 percent of the Pacific Northwest region's firm electrical energy supply. These three agencies (Bonneville Power Administration, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and Reclamation) are collectively known as the Action Agencies. Fifteen listed species of fish are affected by FCRPS operation. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and The National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA Fisheries) have each issued BiOps; the NOAA Fisheries Reasonable and Prudent Alternative includes a very substantial suite of required actions to ensure that threatened or endangered species are not jeopardized and their designated critical habitats are not adversely modified by the operation of the FCRPS.
In 2008, Reclamation entered, along with the other action agencies, into multiple 10-year memoranda of agreements with two States and five Tribes to support the 2008 FCRPS BiOp and anadromous fish recovery. This program also funds Reclamation actions included in those agreements.
Klamath Project
The President's FY 2016 budget request for the Klamath Project (Project) is $18.0 million. The Project stores and diverts water to provide irrigation for land in south-central Oregon and parts of north-central California. Originally built in the early 1900s, the Project provides water to approximately 1,400 individual farms and ranches, totaling approximately 200,000 irrigable acres, and contributes to a $325.0 million agriculture-dependent economy in the Upper Klamath Basin. The Project also provides water to approximately 44,300 non-agricultural acres of National Wildlife Refuges. In 2001 and 2010, severe curtailment of water for agricultural use occurred as a result of several years of below average inflows, droughts, and the legal requirements of two Endangered Species Act (ESA) biological opinions (BiOps). This action caused many adverse economic consequences to the Upper Basin's agricultural communities and stimulated efforts to improve water supply reliability, protect fish, and preserve natural resources and ecosystems through the effective use of water.
Reclamation operates the Klamath Project under a BiOp issued jointly by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service for the protection of ESA-listed shortnose and Lost River suckers as well as Coho salmon. Reclamation continues to work closely with other Federal agencies and all stakeholders to protect ESA-listed fish while managing water for the needs of agriculture and wildlife refuges and addressing Federal tribal trust responsibilities. Beyond the Department of the Interior, the Department of Commerce, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and other state and Federal agencies continue to coordinate and prioritize Klamath Basin programs. In December 2013, The Klamath Task Force and Upper Basin Water Group completed work on an agreement in principle on Upper Basin water and economic issues. This is a major first step to address the continuing conflicts over water use in the upper basin.
Middle Rio Grande Project
The President's FY 2016 budget request for the Middle Rio Grande is $24.0 million to continue operations, maintenance and rehabilitation of project facilities; provide for flood protection; and protection and recovery of the Rio Grande Silvery Minnow and Southwestern Willow Flycatcher. Project works are critical to delivering water to nine tribes and pueblos along the river as well as a national wildlife refuge.
The FY 2016 budget for the project includes $9.5 million for the Middle Rio Grande Endangered Species Act (ESA) Collaborative Program, composed of sixteen signatories, that establishes a forum as an alternative to litigation, that actively creates, promotes, and provides opportunities for Reclamation's participation in cooperative efforts with Federal and non-Federal partners to preserve, protect, and improve the status of endangered species while also protecting existing water uses and ensuring compliance with all applicable laws. These collaborative activities include: studies to assess the impact and/or affect Reclamation operation and maintenance and other construction activities have on the endangered Rio Grande Silvery Minnow and Southwestern Willow Flycatcher; ESA coordination and consultation with the Fish and Wildlife Service, New Mexico Department of Game and Fish, and other stakeholders to obtain environmental clearances for proposed projects; acquisition of supplemental non-Federal water, and pumping from the low flow conveyance channel into the Rio Grande during the irrigation season to provide sufficient water supply for endangered species, irrigation, and water delivery; tasks required in the current Biological Opinion such as, population management, habitat restoration, monitoring and adaptive management, and water quality studies that are supportive of the listed species recovery plans. The project consists of El Vado Dam and Reservoir, three diversion dams, 260 miles of the Rio Grande channel infrastructure, and the 57 mile long Low Flow Conveyance Channel. The diversion dams and 202 miles of canals, 580 miles of laterals, and 405 miles of drains are operated and maintained by the Middle Rio Grande Conservancy District under contract with the United States.
Lower Colorado River Operations Programs
The FY 2016 President's budget request for the Lower Colorado River Operations Program (LCROP) is $28.3 million. Of this request, $16.7 million is to continue development and continued implementation of the Lower Colorado River Multi-Species Conservation Program (LCR MSCP). This unique program provides long-term Endangered Species Act compliance for both current and future water delivery and diversion, and power production by the Unites States and the water users. This program will provide quality habitat to conserve populations of 26 state and Federal special status species, along the lower Colorado River from Lake Mead to Mexico, including the endangered razorback sucker, bonytail chub, southwestern willow flycatcher, yellow-billed cuckoo, and Yuma clapper rail. The budget for LCROP also includes funding for river operations, water service contracting and repayment, decree accounting, and fulfilling the requirements of the Secretary's role as water master for the lower Colorado River. Funding for this program also continues the monitoring of the implementation of the historic binational Minute 319, which is emphasized as a key component of the "Manage Water and Watersheds for the 21st Century," as referenced in the Department of the Interior's Strategic Plan for FY 2014-FY 2018.
Platte River Recovery Implementation Program
The President's FY 2016 budget request for the Platte River Recovery Implementation Program is $17.5 million. This activity is located in the Platte River Basin in Wyoming, Colorado, and Nebraska. In late 2006, the Governors of Colorado, Nebraska and Wyoming and the Secretary of the Interior entered into the Platte River Recovery Implementation Program (Program). The Program is a collaborative basin-wide program for endangered species in the Central Platte River in Nebraska. The Program addresses habitat for four species: the Whooping Crane, Piping Plover, Interior Least Tern, and Pallid Sturgeon. Under the Program, Reclamation received significant and essential compliance under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) for continued operations of the Colorado-Big Thompson and North Platte projects which supply water to Colorado, Nebraska, and Wyoming irrigators and municipalities. The Program, which began January 1, 2007, is authorized at $317 million, with the Federal share being $157 million (October 1, 2005 price levels). The Program requires that the Federal government provide 50 percent of the Program contributions, with the States providing at least 50 percent of the contributions ($30 million cash and $130 million in kind, cash-equivalent contributions). The first increment of this program is scheduled for completion in FY 2020.
The request continues implementation of the Platte River Recovery Implementation Program to provide ESA compliance for Reclamation projects in the North and South Platte basins. The activities planned include the continuation of the Program's participation in a water service agreement with the State of Nebraska and the Central Nebraska Public Power & Irrigation District for water from the proposed J-2 Reservoir Project. In addition, other work projects include: 1) Program Land Plan activities for Adaptive Management Plan Experimental Design activities, including sediment augmentation and flow consolidation; 2) Integrated Monitoring & Research Plan activities, including annual whooping crane monitoring during the spring and fall migration seasons, implementation of a whooping crane telemetry tracking project, annual interior least tern and piping plover monitoring (conducted May through August), geomorphology/in-channel vegetation monitoring, and flow-sediment-mechanical "proof of concept" science activities, water quality monitoring, and LiDAR/aerial photography monitoring; and 3) the Adaptive Management Plan Independent Science Review, the preparation of the ISAC's annual report on the Program, and the peer review of up to four of the Program's technical documents.
Upper Colorado Region Recovery Implementation Program
The President's FY 2016 budget request for the Endangered Species Recovery Implementation Program in the Upper Colorado Region is $4.4 million. This will fund the Upper Colorado and San Juan River Basins Endangered Fish Recovery Programs. These two recovery programs are intended to go beyond removal of jeopardy to the recovery of four species of endangered fish while allowing the states to develop their full compact water entitlement, in compliance with interstate compacts and various laws. Work focuses on four major areas: 1) Habitat Management - providing and protecting in-stream flows; 2) Habitat Development and Maintenance - fish ladders, fish screens, levee removal, and flooded bottom land restoration; 3) Augmentation and Conservation - of Genetic Integrity - propagation facilities, and stocking efforts; and non-native and sport fish management; 4) Conservation of other aquatic and terrestrial endangered species - restoring habitat and enhancing stream flows. The overarching goal of the program is to develop, implement, and sustain a long-term program to take actions for the preservation, conservation, and recovery of endangered, threatened, proposed, and candidate species, resident and/or migratory to habitats within the Upper Colorado River Basin. Continued funding is critical to avoid issues arising in regard to the ability to maintain Endangered Species Act compliance for Federal and non-Federal water resource use in the Upper Colorado River Basin.
Central Valley Project, Trinity River Division
The President's FY 2016 budget request for the Central Valley Project, Trinity River Division totals $17.5 million. Of this amount, $11.9 million is for the Trinity River Restoration program for the development of a comprehensive monitoring and adaptive management program for fishery restoration and construction of channel rehabilitation projects at various sites along the Trinity River. An additional $1.5 million from the Central Valley Project Restoration Fund will also be used for this purpose.
In 1984 under P.L. 98-541, Congress enacted the Trinity River Basin Fish and Wildlife Management Act to provide additional authority in order to restore and maintain the fish and wildlife stocks of the Trinity River Basin to those levels existing prior to construction of the CVP Trinity River Division.
Central Valley Project Restoration Fund
The President's FY 2016 budget request for the Central Valley Project Restoration Fund is $49.5 million. The Fund was authorized in the 1992 Central Valley Project Improvement Act, Title XXXIV of P.L. 102-575. This Fund provides funding from project beneficiaries for habitat restoration, improvement and acquisition, and other fish and wildlife restoration activities in the Central Valley Project (CVP) area of California. Revenues are derived from payments by project beneficiaries and from donations.
Funding will be used for protection, restoration, and management of aquatic and riparian habitats throughout the Central Valley, water supplies for wildlife refuges, and water acquisition and other activities to benefit anadromous fish. Annual workplans coordinated by Fish and Wildlife Service and Reclamation, in conjunction with Central Valley water users, hydropower representatives, and other interested groups, continues to help ensure efficient and effective implementation of the Act.
California Bay-Delta Restoration
The President's FY 2016 budget request for California Bay-Delta Restoration is $37.0 million. The Sacramento–San Joaquin River Delta (Delta) is a regional, State, and national treasure. It is an integral part of an ecosystem dependent on more than 750 wildlife species and more than 120 species of fish. As a migratory corridor, the Delta hosts two-thirds of the State's salmon and nearly half of the waterfowl and shorebirds along the Pacific flyway. The Bay-Delta system is critical to California's economy because the two rivers that flow into the Bay-Delta provide potable water for two-thirds of California's homes and businesses and irrigate more than 7 million acres of farmland on which 45 percent of the nation's fruits and vegetables are grown, part of a $43.0 billion agricultural industry. The Federal Central Valley Project and the State Water Project play a central, coordinated role in the water management of the Bay-Delta system and throughout California. The CALFED Bay-Delta Program was established in May 1995 to develop a comprehensive long-term plan to address the complex and interrelated problems in the Delta region, tributary watersheds, and delivery areas. The Program's focus is on conserving and restoring the health of the ecosystem and improving water management. On December 15, 2010, the Interim Federal Action Plan Status Update for the California Bay-Delta: 2011 and Beyond was issued by the six Federal agencies. The updated report urges continued progress toward completion of the California Bay-Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP) and supports major elements of the plan as a promising means of addressing the critical needs of both the Bay-Delta ecosystem and the state's water delivery structure. The FY 2016 budget requests funding actions that support the Interim Federal Action Plan. The FY 2016 budget includes bill language to extend the expiration date for the program by two years to September 30, 2018.

|Efficient and Reliable Energy Solutions for MU [abstract]
|Coffin, Gregg; Hoemann, Paul
|University of Missouri (System)
Power Generation
combined heat and power (CHP) technologies
production efficiency
renewable fuels
|Highly reliable and cost effective utilities are essential for the University of Missouri (MU) to achieve its academic, research, and outreach missions. MU's Campus Facilities - Energy Management department focuses on three key areas to help meet that requirement; Production Efficiency and Reliability, Energy Conservation, and Renewable Fuels. This poster presentation shows how MU employs efficient and reliable utility production technologies to meet its energy needs. Using various combined heat and power (CHP) technologies MU efficiently produces its own steam, electricity, and chilled water to meet the campus energy needs. These CHP technologies are highly efficient and cost effective compared to more conventional power plant technologies. Additionally, the CHP district energy plant provides MU with high utility supply reliability, essential for its research and medical facilities. Most power plant technologies waste large amounts of thermal energy resulting in low fuel energy utilization with most less than 38% efficient. The MU Power Plant uses highly efficient combined heat and power technologies which improves fuel energy utilization increasing the plant's thermal efficiency to more than 62%. This reduces the amount of fuel energy needed for MU's energy requirements, reducing cost and emissions. Key plant features and benefits include: • Co-generation steam turbine generators produce electricity from boiler steam before sending the low pressure steam energy to the campus for thermal use. • Waste exhaust heat is captured from the plant's combustion turbine generators using heat recovery boilers. This steam is also co-generated in the plant's steam turbine generators. • A balance of dual effect steam absorption chillers and electric centrifugal chillers in MU's district cooling system allows a more cost effective supply of energy during the summer months. • The CHP district energy concept along with fuel diversity provides MU with a highly reliable and cost stable energy supply that minimizes costs associated with typical energy market swings. • The high fuel energy utilization of CHP lowers fuel use resulting in emission reductions, including greenhouse gas emission, when compared to separate electric and thermal energy production. • The US EPA has recognized MU under its CHP Partnership program for effectively using CHP technologies to efficiently meet its energy needs while reducing emissions.

A cinematic documentary about a former Iraqi boxing champion who overcame tremendous hardships in pursuit of his dream.
Most people know Estaifan Shilaita as an enthusiastic and cheerful cab driver in Chicago. Some find out that he used to be a boxing champion in Iraq. They don't, however, know what he went through to come to the United States to start a new life in pursuit of his dream. This is that story told by Estaifan and those who know him best.
In Watch Dogs, players hack into Chicago's extensive surveillance network and use it as a weapon. Charlie Hall investigates the real surveillance technology being used by the city of Chicago and finds a truth uncomfortably close to fiction.

New London — State safety inspectors have cited New London for "willful" and "serious" safety violations contributing to a hazardous work environment at the Public Works Department's transfer station and have levied a fine of $10,800 against the city, state records show.
The Jan. 30 death of Floyd Smeeton, a longtime city resident, spurred the state department's inspection of the transfer station. Smeeton is believed to have fallen into the trash compactor while dumping garbage at the Lewis Street facility.
The state Department of Labor's Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Conn-OSHA) fined the city $9,000 for a willful violation of the state's Occupational Safety and Health Act. Specifically, the citation was issued for not having railings or guardrails protecting people from a fall of more than 4 feet in the trash compactor area. The maximum penalty for a willful violation is $10,000.
A violation is deemed willful when an employer has demonstrated either "an intentional disregard for the requirements of the law or plain indifference to employee safety and health," according to Conn-OSHA.
The transfer station had previously been cited for having no railings to protect against a possible fall. During a planned inspection of the facility in March 2010, state inspectors found it to be in violation of the same regulation, according to records obtained from the Department of Labor. The violation was labeled "serious" at the time and the city was fined $210 for that violation.
"Fast forward to this particular inspection we did starting Jan. 30 ... we went out there and found an identical violation to what we found last time," said Kenneth C. Tucker, director of Conn-OSHA. "And because they knew about the violation or the standard that applied because we previously cited it, we felt that there was a plain indifference."
Tucker called the violation "very concerning to us" and said Conn-OSHA felt the city was "aware of the condition and didn't prevent it from reoccurring" and displayed "little or no effort to get it corrected."
Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio and Public Works Director Tim Hanser did not respond to calls seeking comment Thursday. The New London Police Department has been investigating Smeeton's death since Jan. 30, and the case remains open.
In 2010, Conn-OSHA closed the case on the transfer station based on documentation the city provided.
"In 2010, we had a statement from (the city) that it was under renovation and that that particular compactor was not in operation but guards were in place," Tucker said. He also said that the compactor system Conn-OSHA inspected this year is different from the one inspected in 2010, believed to be the result of renovations made to the transfer station facility.
This year, Conn-OSHA inspectors also issued the city a "serious" citation for not providing a safe workplace for its employees, specifically those whose job duties put them in close proximity to the unguarded compactor pit opening. That citation carried a fine of $900.
"The employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment which were free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees," Conn-OSHA inspectors wrote in the citation. "(E)mployees were exposed to crushing hazards when working around and near the compactor while it was in operation and employees were not adequately protected."
A serious violation is "one that has the potential to either create death or physical harm to someone," Tucker said. The maximum fine for a such a violation is $1,000.
The state also cited a serious violation, and imposed another $900 fine, for the city's failure to "protect employees from a slip hazard caused by ice accumulation from a broken pipe at the stair entrance to the control room," documents show.
The final violation, which did not carry a fine, was for having items stored in such a way that made a portable fire extinguisher not easily accessible.
The city has the right to contest the citations and penalties. If it does not, it must address the violations Conn-OSHA found and provide evidence to the state agency that proper corrective actions have been taken by April 28.
In the citation, Conn-OSHA suggested that the city "establish a written safety and health program regarding compactor use," "train employees on safety related work practices around the compactor," "determine safe and effective means of operation of the compactor ram (continuous use versus manually controlled)," and "determine a method of guarding (barrier gates) during compactor operation."

Pakistani troops reportedly violated the ceasefire again on Tuesday morning, in Shahpur District of Jammu and Kashmir.
A local resident of the area, Shehzad said, "The firing started at the border area around eleven in the morning. We were engaged in our daily work and suddenly firing started. We got scared and the firing was initiated by the other side. Then our army answered back. All this creates a lot of tension for us. We can't work or go anywhere without tension. I am a student and it hampers my studies," he added.
A shopkeeper in the area, Zakir Hussain, said, "The firing started around 10.30 am from the other side, and then our army replied back. These ceasefire violations create many problems for us, our school children and animals."
This is the latest in the series of ceasefire violations by Pakistani troops. Earlier, Lieutenant General KH Singh had said that the Indian army is giving a befitting reply to Pakistani troops over the ceasefire violations and infiltration attempts from across the border. "I would like to assure you all that the ceasefire violations around this time generally increases because of the undergrowth, because of the situation in Pakistan and also because of the upcoming elections. But is quite normal compared to last year," he had said.

The Vango Latitude 300 is a lightweight sleeping bag but with good seasonal coverage making it ideal for people going on adventure trips and expeditions, particularly with youth group and DofE organised excursions.
The Vango Latitude 300 sleeping bag is constructed using an offset double layer construction which will minimise any cold spots and offer awesome comfort and insulation. In addition, Vango's unique internal elasticated Thermal Embrace System keeps the sleeping bag hugging the body to maximise insulation while the aluminised reflective lining also pulls heat back into the body.
The materials used in the construction of the Latitude 300 make it durable and long lasting with a Diamond Polyester Ripstop shell and a soft to the touch silky polyester lining. The fill is 7 hole siliconised hollow fibre that are very efficient at trapping warm air to maximise loft but are also highly compressible to reduce pack size.
The Vango Latitude 300 is a 3-4 Season bag (Spring-Summer-Autumn-Mild Winter) that weighs only 1780g and packs down to a mere 29x24cm in size and so is perfect when space and weight are at a premium.

NUANGOLA — The first official meeting of borough council since December produced some controversy when an appointment to the Nuangola Sewer Authority came up for a vote Tuesday.
A majority of council elected Gerard Maskinas, a Church Road resident, to serve a five-year term succeeding David Pekar. It was the first time since December that council had enough members in attendance to constitute a quorum.
Pekar, who previously served as chairman of the authority, had submitted a request to be considered for re-appointment; however, he received the support of only council members Regina Plodwick and Ted Vancosky.
Maskinas was selected on the votes of councilmen John Kochan, Joe Tucker, Ron Kaiser and Michael Johnson. It was Johnson's first voting session since being selected by the county court to serve out the term of Elaine Donahue, whose resignation became effective Dec. 31.
At the meeting Pekar expressed some bitterness when he spoke out about the need for "better representation for all of the people, not just for the special interests."
Council also made these appointments: Kaiser, president pro-tem; Sabine Thomas, secretary-treasurer; William Bilby, sewage enforcement officer; John Belles, assistant sewage officer; Steve Bieryla, zoning officer; the law firm of Elliot, Greenleaf and Dean, solicitor; Quad3 Group, engineer, and John DiRico, vacancy chairman.
Three vacancies still exist on the zoning hearing board and two on the planning commission. Individuals willing to serve are asked to submit a letter of interest before the April 9 meeting.
In other matters:
• Plodwick reported that flood relief funds of $9,854 and $1,302 from the Federal Emergency Management Agency are contained in closeout documents to be filed with FEMA.
• Closeout payments of $2,907, $5,006.97 and $5006.98 were approved for M&J Excavating for work on the Willow Grove Street project. Remittances also included $2,318 to Barry Issett Engineers for services on the project.
• An annual garbage collection fee of $155 was re-instituted, with the Municipal Marketing Services firm selected to prepare and distribute invoices.

About the Owner
Guestbook comments from the owner
This was a very nice home for our large party to stay in. The BIG house allows everyone to spread out, or get together in the fully equipped game room, or relax in the private pool with plenty of outdoor seating when we were not visiting the parks (which are very close by). It is very clan and decorated elegantly (especially the dining room). I would highly recommend this property to friends.

Molecules called CFTR inhibitors show promise in slowing growth of masses
FRIDAY, April 11 (HealthDay News) -- Compounds called CFTR inhibitors show promise in slowing the progression of polycystic kidney disease (PKD), according to preliminary research conducted at the University of California, San Francisco, School of Medicine.
PKD is the most common kind of genetic kidney disease. Patients develop cysts on the kidneys, which progressively increase in size and number. As a result, the kidneys become enlarged, eventually leading to kidney failure. There is no cure for PKD.
It's believed the accumulation of fluid in the cysts is related to chloride secretion, which is affected by the CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) gene, according to background information in a news release about the research.
"The CFTR inhibitors could be the basis of a lifelong treatment to slow renal cyst growth and decline in renal function, prolonging dialysis-free patient survival," researcher Dr. Alan S. Verkman said in a prepared statement.
In laboratory tests, he identified a few CFTR inhibitors that reduced the number and growth of cysts by more than 80 percent. He then tested these inhibitors in mice genetically engineered to develop a condition similar to PKD.
Mice treated with these CFTR inhibitors for up to seven days had significantly slower cyst expansion and kidney enlargement, and better preservation of kidney function. There was no evidence that the CFTR inhibitors harmed kidney function.
The findings indicate that CFTR plays a role in the growth of kidney cysts and suggest that CFTR inhibitors may prove useful in treating PKD. However, much more research needs to be done, Verkman said.
"The mouse model of PKD is not the real human disease for many reasons, such as the more rapid progression of disease in mice. Clinical trials will be needed to determine the eff

Best endangered speakeasy New York 2004 - FREDDY'S

Not the least of the casualties of Ratner's bulldozers would be FREDDY'S, a delicately skanky dive bar with an ambience that dates to Prohibition, when its back room was a gin-u-wine covert operation. That space is now South Brooklyn's coziest venue for live music, with a whatever-ya-got mix of jazz, jug bands, and other jokers appearing nightly.
