Thousands of Department of Defense Requests for Business Go Unanswered by Ohio Manufacturers
Less than 1% of Ohio businesses currently work with the US Department of Defense (DoD) – to increase business opportunities for Ohio manufacturers MFR Search, a DoD RFQ locator, is running a Sweepstakes to encourage more Ohio companies to participate.
Cincinnati, OH (PRWEB) March 29, 2013
Research shows that many Department of Defense (DoD) requests for proposals go unanswered, uncontested and non-Ohio. MFR Search located in Cincinnati, Ohio along with their corporate partner TechSolve work with Ohio manufacturing and machine companies to create a portal that matches Department of Defense proposal requests with qualified Ohio businesses. This offers the opportunity to have more Ohio industries fulfilling Department of Defense projects, increase Ohio manufacturing numbers and ultimately create Ohio jobs. MFR Search has initiated a sweepstakes to encourage more Ohio industries to register for Department of Defense proposals and in turn be registered to win an Apple iPad.
The U.S. Government is the largest "company" in the world. Each year, the Department of Defense and the federal government sign over 11 million business contracts. The majority of the $55 billion in defense contracts receive only one bidder to their posted requests for quote (RFQ). Less than 5% of the businesses in the United States currently do business with the U.S. Government. Less than 1% of those businesses are Ohio based. Any business can qualify for these often non-contested proposals, in fact nearly 95% of all federal contracts are awarded to small- and medium-sized business vendors.
In an effort to encourage more Ohio manufacturing companies to register for this free Department of Defense request for quote locator; MFR Search is offering a free Apple iPad sweepstakes giveaway for one lucky individual that registers their company. There is no obligation, just register and be entered to win an Apple iPad. Over ten thousand Ohio manufacturing representatives will receive personal invitations to take advantage of this free service. Once registered, the company they represent will instantly begin receiving free Department of Defense requests for proposals that fit their company´s capabilities. Proposal preferences and performance profiles can be built in more detail for filtered, targeted responses with the help of an MFR Search representative. Assistance is also offered in proposal preparation and presentation. Free registration, with a chance to win the Apple iPad, is open through Friday, April 12, 2013 at http://www.freeRFQs.MFRSearch.com.
"MFR Search would like all of our Ohio manufacturing and machine companies to be registered for this free service. For every manufacturing need, Ohio has an ideal supplier that can fulfill that need and just by registering someone will win an Apple iPad," said Doreen Stanley, Marketing Manager for MRF Search and TechSolve.
This program is supported by the US Government in an effort to improve response rates for current and future Department of Defense requests for proposal. The plan is to provide multiple, competitive proposals for comparison of cost, quality and deliver-ability. This program is an effort to increase Ohio business contracts and to establish better relationships between Ohio manufacturers and the US Department of Defense.

Embattled FDA Commissioner Crawford resignsWASHINGTON - Embattled Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Lester Crawford resigned Friday, telling his staff that at age 67 it was time to step aside. His resignation came just two months after the Senate, in a long-delayed move, elevated the longtime agency deputy and acting commissioner to the top job. Crawford's three-year tenure at FDA was marked by increasing criticism, as the painkiller Vioxx was pulled off the market for safety problems, recalls of malfunctioning heart devices mounted and controversy grew over wider access to emergency contraception. Man intentionally crashed car into Vegas crowd, authorities say LAS VEGAS - The man accused of deliberately crashing into a crowd on the Las Vegas Strip, killing two people, had been wanted by police just days earlier for questioning in a near-fatal assault on his mother. Stephen M. Ressa, 27, of Rialto, Calif., faces charges of murder and attempted murder in Wednesday's crash. He was arrested at the scene and was being held without bail. Elvis' home before Graceland nominated for historical register NASHVILLE, Tenn. - There are no jungle rooms at 1034 Audubon Drive, no gold records and no pink Cadillacs. But this modest ranch-style house in the Audubon Park Subdivision of southeast Memphis shares a history with Graceland, the famous white-columned mansion more than 10 miles away. The house Elvis Presley purchased at age 21, a home that his fame quickly outgrew, has been nominated to the National Register of Historic Places. The State Review Board approved the nomination Tuesday and now it moves on - just as Graceland did in 1991 - for approval at the national level. Frist stock sale investigated WASHINGTON - Federal prosecutors and the Securities and Exchange Commission are looking into Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist's sale of stock in HCA Inc. at a time when insiders at the hospital operating company were also selling off shares. HCA, based in Nashville and founded by the Frist family, said Friday that it had received a subpoena from prosecutors for the Southern District of New York, asking for documents the company believes are related to Frist's stock sale. - From wire reports

Security products - a natural add-on to firearms sales.
The clerk talked a little more with the woman, assessing her gun knowledge, her commitment to using lethal force, and the amount of time and energy she was willing to invest in firearms training. Together they decided on a .38 Special revolver.
Then the clerk said, "While you're waiting to take ownership of your gun, let's make sure the chances of you being forced to use it are less," and he guided her toward the store's security center.
This little scenario probably hasn't happened in your store yet, but it could. One thing dealer's should keep in mind is that they're selling safety and security to their customers. Women who purchase guns for self defense feel fear. They hope they will never have to use a gun on another human being, but when it comes down to a "him or me" situation, they want to be the ones who survive. So after you've given a woman great advice on the best handgun for her needs, help her make sure she never has to use it except for target practice.
Think about devoting a small gondola to home security devices. This could include many products that you already have in stock such as flashlights, utility knives, multi-tools, pepper spray, etc. - you'll just be marketing them in a different way.
Explain to your customer how a flashlight is an invaluable self-defense tool. If a thief cuts the power to your customer's home, a flashlight will be helpful in locating her tools of self defense. A flashlight is also essential for target identification, preventing the tragedy of your customer shooting her teenage son who forgot his keys. It seems like common sense, but the best ideas usually are.
Pepper spray is an effective non-lethal deterrent that some women may feel more comfortable owning, especially if they have small children in the house. It's a great item to sell to women to keep in their purse and could also be sold in conjunction with a firearm for those occasions where a gun is not permitted.
Utility knives and multi-tools are also important in defensive situations. The variety of tools and small blades are enough of a "mini toolbox" that a multi-tool can be used to complete everyday chores or to cut through a seat belt in the event of a traffic accident.
A small selection of deadbolts and window locks would also be appropriate for a home security gondola. Of course, your customers can get them cheaper at the local hardware store, but if you stock good quality products that come with a healthy dose of advice and reassurance, women will buy from you. They'll be glad to pay for your knowledge and experience.
Make a deal with a local locksmith to offer any customers you refer a small discount on installation. He'll appreciate the business and your customers will be glad to know that someone they can trust is taking care of their security needs. You may also be able to make an arrangement where the locksmith pays you a small commission on each customer you refer.
If your customers are women who spend a great deal of time on the road, suggest they gather a small bag of items that will help them stay safe no matter where they are. All of the items mentioned above would be valuable, but there are a few other things that could come in handy as well. For example, a blaze orange hunting vest could be kept in the trunk of your customer's car for emergencies. A bright orange vest could keep her from being hit by a car as she walks to the nearest phone on a dark road.
Another item women who travel will find useful is a portable door jam or lock. The Travel DoorJammer from Defenders Network (800-800-1011) is a small device that hooks onto the bottom of a door and makes it virtually impossible to open. Its small size makes it highly portable and easy to tuck into a suitcase. There are also several small portable locks that can be attached to hotel room door jams. These would be great items for traveling women who visit areas where they cannot bring their firearms.
A final item that you could suggest to women for both car and home defense is a cellular phone. Experts such as Massad Ayoob recommend that everyone have a cellular phone for emergencies. It can be used to call a tow truck from the side of the road or the police when the power or phone lines are down.
It's not practical for gun shop owners to become cell phone dealers, but this is another case where a referral to the local phone shop could earn you a small commission. A gun shop can't be all things to all people, but steering women in the right direction can earn you a lot of loyal customer points.
Most gun shops probably already stock many of the items mentioned. Take a look at your inventory and consider grouping these and other security items in one highly visible area. Train your staff to supplement pepper spray and gun sales with window locks and flashlights. Most of your customers only buy one gun, but security accessories could be purchased throughout your customers' lifetimes.

Rat poison being used by those growing marijuana illegally is killing wild animals and threatening rare populations of fishers in Sierra Nevada, according to a study published in the journal PLOS ONE.
Researchers from the University of California, Davis, studying threats to two populations of fishers in California discovered commercial rodenticides in dead fishers near Redwood National Park and in the southern Sierra Nevada in and around Yosemite National Park, leaving them to conclude that fishers were picking up the poison at marijuana growing operations in the area.
"Our findings were very surprising since non-target poisoning from these chemicals is typically seen in wildlife in urban or agricultural settings," said lead author Mourad Gabriel, a UC Davis Veterinary Genetics Laboratory researcher and president of the Integral Ecology Research Center. "In California, fishers inhabit mature forests within the national forest, national parks, private industrial and tribal community lands – nowhere near urban or agricultural areas."
Fishers, relatives of minks, martens, otters and wolverines, are considered a "sensitive species" and have been named as candidates for the endangered species list in California, Oregon and Washington. Their populations have dropped dramatically in past decades thanks to trapping, predator control programs and development, but the current threat of being poisoned out in the wilderness hadn't really been a consideration before.
For the study, researchers trapped, collared and released fishers and then compared their movements with known marijuana growing sites. Of the 58 fisher carcasses tested 79 percent were exposed to one or more anticoagulant rodenticide.
These poisons are commonly used for pest control and in growing operations, but their effects aren't always immediate. Second-generation poisons can kill with one dose, but may take up to a week before signs start showing and animals die of internal bleeding. Before then, they're more vulnerable to dying of other injuries that may have been minor, or predation.
It's unclear in this case if the fishers are eating poisoned prey, or if they're going after the poisons directly, but researchers noted that the deaths they documented in different areas fell between mid-April to mid-May – prime planting season – and also pointed out how this could effect fisher kits who are born at that time and are more vulnerable to losing their mothers who they are dependent upon for survival.
Concerns were also raised about how these poisons would affect other carnivores, including the Sierra Nevada red fox, American martens, wolverines, gray wolves or raptors, such as northern spotted owls, California spotted owls and great gray owls.
"If fishers are at risk, these other species are most likely at risk because they share the same prey and the same habitat," said Gabriel. "Our next steps are to examine whether toxicants used at illegal marijuana grow sites on public lands are also indirectly impacting fisher populations and other forest carnivores through prey depletion."
Unfortunately, these rodenticides aren't just a threat to fishers and their prey, but continue pose risks to wildlife, pets and people wherever they're used.
Please sign and share the petition urging major retailers to pull d-CON, one of these deadly poisons, from their shelves.

Stop using poisons!
And you know that just HOW, Mark D? Do you grow "pot" or do you use it? What is your background in growing pot? If you actually knew a single thing about the topic, you'd know that anyone growing "pot" doesn't use pesticides on their plants, nor is there any need for "rat poison" since rats don't eat the plants, either.
Mark, try to pay attention and read what was written. They claim that pesticides were killing FISHERS, which are weasels, NOT FISH.
Pot growers not only use rat poisons, their camps spew out a stew of lethal toxins which kill off fish and wildlife
signed, thanks for sharing
ban the pesticides.....
Poisons are horrible. Poor animals
I don't condemn these people for growing whatever they wish to BUT if it kills such a beautiful animal as the se then I condemn the use of the pesticides they are using. If they do not wish to be found growing marijuana then they shouldn't do it -the bastards.
Poisons are so horrible & dangerous.
Ban the rat poison, and stop using the drugs people...

A newly-introduced ballot verification method is set to revolutionize the dynamics of the poll process by making it more credible.
Introduced for the first time in 516 polling stations across eight states during the ongoing elections, the Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) allows an individual voter to verify whether the EVM has registered her/his vote correctly.
Like the ATM from which one gets a receipt of the transaction, the VVPAT, a small device attached to the EVM, gives you a receipt immediately after you press the button. This piece of paper tells you to which party or candidate your vote has gone. It will also have the names of the voter, the constituency and the polling station.
But unlike the ATM, the VVPAT retrieves the paper trail (made strong by plastic coating) back into the machine to keep the confidentiality of the voter intact.
"We hope this new addition to the voting system will make the election process more transparent," Akshay Rout, director general of Election Commission, told dna.
In the present elections, VVPAT is being used at 385 polling stations in Mizoram, 35 PS in Lucknow (UP), 30 PS in Patna Sahib (Bihar) 26 PS in Bangalore-South (Karnataka), 22 PS in Jadhavpur (West Bengal), 8 PS in Raipur (Chhattisgarh), 6 PS in Gandhinagar (Gujarat) and 4 PS in Chennai Central (Tamil Nadu).
Encouraged by the voter feedback, the EC is now planning to use VVPAT, manufactured by public sector undertakings—BEL and ECIL—in a big way in the coming assembly elections. As the system is compatible only with post-2006 EVMs, the EC hopes to achieve all India VVPAT coverage by only the 2019 elections.

Microsoft offers peek at new Windows, tablet
Published on Oct 23, 2012 4:05 PM
SHANGHAI (AFP) - US computing giant Microsoft on Tuesday gave an early peek to the key Chinese market of its new tablet computer and Windows 8 software, promising a "fast and fluid" operating system.
Microsoft will launch Windows 8 and the Surface tablet computer, designed to compete with Apple's popular iPad, in the United States on Friday. The launch of the two products in China is the same day.
Windows remains the dominant platform for personal computers, but it has lost ground to Apple and Google in newer devices which use rival operating systems.
"With Windows 8, we introduced this fast and fluid experience that works across a broad range of different types of PCs (personal computers)," said Mr Steven Sinofsky, president of Microsoft's Windows division.

Bionic Ballerina's captivating LED light dance sequence
December 17, 2010
Zhantra Entertainment has recently merged dance and technology to create a captivating spectacle. Resembling characters from sci-fi films such as Blade Runner and Minority Report, dancer Milena looks like she has stepped straight out of a cyberpunk future world. Dressed in an outfit custom-designed by Zhantra's in-house designer, Gustavo, featuring LED lights, 17 individual lasers, and ballerina point shoes, the Bionic Ballerina displays moves that seem to defy the laws of human flexibility.
Milena is a classically trained ballerina, having studied in Russia since she was five years old. Her stage presence and choreography are spellbinding, however you may need some convincing that she's not a replicant.
Although the Bionic Ballerina costume is not for sale, Melina can be booked for performances through Zhantra Entertainment, a company that provides performers for nightclubs and special events in Miami. Check out her performance in the video below:
i gotta say, this is a borderline article... if it weren\'t for the girl, It\'d be a toss.Samuel Arbizo
Borderline? Hardly. This is basically a pathetic ad for a stripper with Christmas lights. Gizmag, I\'m quickly losing interest in your half-baked articles of late.Oliver McFishcloud
Agreed, this is really low quality. I know a lot of articles here are press releases but this is just lazy ad.Roomie
Cool, a dancing Christmas tree!Denis Klanac
So, what\'s the difference between a ballerina and a stripper? :)ImmortalClone
To all you bah-humbugs... I must have missed the part where someone held a gun to your head and forced you to read the article. The title clearly states what is contained herein. If you didn\'t WANT to see a LED-clad ballerina, why did you even look at the article?! Not every article has to be so techy that only Sheldon would approve. Lighten up.Transcend
I was only wondering where she keeps the batteries...SteveO
\"Cool, a dancing Christmas tree! \"
No! THIS is a Dancing Christmas Tree:
I can\'t believe you guys are bitchin about a scantily clad woman dancing! Hello!!! Did you trade in your gonads for brains? Step away from the computer and get a life! Buy a Harley, go to a strip club, get laid!Vzon
Hmm. Considering the talk-up of the dancer, I expected more than a little display of flexibility and shimmying. She looked bored out of her mind and improvising well below standard. I guess she didn\'t have much room to move about in, but I certainly wouldn\'t book her. \"Captivating LED light dance sequence\" is false advertising.Von Meerman

Cell wall
noun, plural: cell walls
A membrane of the cell that forms external to the cell membrane whose main role is to give cells rigidity, strength and protection against mechanical stress. It is found in cells of plants, bacteria, archaea, fungi, and algae. Animals and most protists do not have cell walls.
In plant cells, the cell wall is a tough, rigid structure that may consist of: (1) the primary cell wall which is generally a thin, flexible and extensible layer composed of cellulose, pectin and hemicellulose, and (2) a secondary cell wall which is a thick layer rich in lignin that strengthens and waterproofs the wall and is formed inside the primary cell wall that has stopped increasing in surface area when the cell is fully grown. In between the primary walls is a middle lamella which is a pectin-rich intercellular material that glues the adjacent cells together. The cell wall is very essential in plants as it helps resist osmotic pressure.
In bacteria, the cell wall is composed of peptidoglycan, and is essential to the survival of many bacteria. Bacteria have been classified into Gram-positive and Gram-negative based on the structure of the cell wall. Gram-positive bacteria possess thick cell wall consisting of many layers of peptidoglycan and teichoic acids. Gram-negative bacteria have relatively thin cell wall consisting of few layers of peptidoglycan
In archaea, the cell wall is characteristically lacking the peptidoglycan (except for a group of methanogens) and is composed of glycoprotein S-layers, pseudopeptidoglycan, or polysaccharides.
In fungi, the cell wall is composed of chitin and other polysaccharides while in algae, it is made up of glycoproteins and polysaccharides, and in certain algal species it may be composed of silicic acid.

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. – Tony Stewart pulled out of the NASCAR race at Watkins Glen Sunday, 12 hours after the three-time champion struck and killed a sprint car driver who had climbed from his car and was on the darkened dirt track trying to confront Stewart during a race in upstate New York.
Greg Zipadelli, competition director for Stewart-Haas Racing, said at a news conference that Stewart "feels strongly" about not racing Sunday following Kevin Ward Jr.'s fatal accident. The decision was an about-face for the organization, which had said when the track opened that Stewart would be behind the wheel of his No. 14 Chevrolet when the green flag waved.
"We gave Tony some time to sleep on it. He feels strongly this is the right thing to do," Zipadelli said. "All you can do is what you feel is right, and we feel this is right. We get through today and do it the best we can as a group.
"He's going through a tough time. It's emotional for him."
Regan Smith will drive Stewart's car instead.
Ward had crashed following contact with Stewart one lap earlier and got out of his car as it was stopped along the fence. Video of the incident showed Ward walking from his crashed car onto the racing surface as cars circled by, and, as he gestured at Stewart's passing car, he was struck.
Authorities questioned Stewart but said no criminal charges were imminent. Stewart traveled to Watkins Glen International following police questioning.
Ontario County Sheriff Philip Povero said Stewart was "visibly shaken" and had been cooperative in the investigation. Authorities were asking spectators and others to turn over any video they recorded of the crash.
"This is right now being investigated as an on-track crash and I don't want to infer that there are criminal charges pending," Povero said. "When the investigation is completed, we will sit down with the district attorney and review it. But I want to make it very clear: there are no criminal charges pending at this time."
A witness said it appeared Ward was trying to confront Stewart, the three-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Champion. The video showed Ward standing to the right of Stewart's familiar No. 14 car, which seemed to kick out from the rear and hit him.
Moments earlier, Ward and Stewart were racing side-by-side for position as they exited a turn. Ward was on the outside when Stewart, on the bottom, seemed to slide toward Ward's car and crowd him toward the wall. The rear tire of Stewart's car appeared to clip the front tire of Ward's car, and Ward spun into the fence.
Povero said Ward, who was wearing a black firesuit and black helmet, had walked into the racing area and one car swerved to avoid him before he was struck by Stewart.
"The next thing I could see, I didn't see (the other driver) anymore," witness Michael Messerly said. "It just seemed like he was suddenly gone."
A spokesman for Stewart's racing team called Ward's death a "tragic accident."
The dirt track, about 30 miles southeast of Rochester, canceled the remainder of the race and later posted a message on its Facebook page encouraging fans to "pray for the entire racing community of fans, drivers, and families."

I bought my trusty zester in 1983, back when no one had heard of rasp-type zesters, which are now a lot more popular than their old-fangled counterparts. I got mine in 1983 when I started working at Chez Panisse and the cook training me on my first shift told me that I needed four essential items; a chef's knife, a paring knife, a bread knife, and a zester.

I've been meaning to get into the Shakshuka groove ever since I had it for breakfast at Nopi in London, and on my trip to Israel, where this North African dish wowed me – and my taste buds – every morning. Although various versions abound, the most widely known Shakshuka involves eggs softly cooked in a hot skillet of spiced tomato sauce. I've had plenty of spicy foods in my life, but the complex seasoning in the sauces that I've tasted in the ones I had lingered with me for months afterward, and I had no choice but to make it at home. (Or move to London – or North Africa.)

Nice healthy snack
posted 7 years ago
Whenever I find these snacks in the store...I usually pick them up for Katie. She loves them...and I love that they only have a few healthy ingredients and no additives. They are a little expensive...but I think they are worth it.
Pros: Healthy
Cons: hard to find and a little pricey.

18 cleaning firms get licences under new wage system
85% of 900 cleaning firms yet to submit applications for NEA approval
Published on May 7, 2014 8:05 AM
A pioneer batch of 18 cleaning companies received their licences to operate yesterday under a move to improve the wages of cleaners.
The firms range from cleaning giant Veolia ES Singapore Industrial, which has over 1,000 staff, to Leng Yan General Services and Supplier, which has 60 cleaners.
These firms are now bound by law to pay their workers a minimum monthly basic wage of $1,000. The salary increases to $1,600 for cleaning supervisors.
Another 110 or so firms have submitted licence applications to the National Environment Agency (NEA), but about 85 per cent of the estimated 900 cleaning firms here have yet to do so.

We have to change and adapt if we want the cleaners to upgrade skills and earn higher pay.

A newspaper ad recruiting women to operate streetcars, 1944.
The Duluth Street Railway hired twenty-one women as streetcar conductors (or "conductresses," as they termed them) in 1918. Some of them posed outside the streetcar barn at Twenty-sixth Avenue West and Superior Street for this photo taken June 21, 1918.
Three of the first motorettes report for work at Nicollet Station, Thirty-first Street and Nicollet Avenue, Minneapolis, 1943.
This photo taken about 1918 is the only known picture of women who ran streetcars in Minneapolis during World War I. The numbers on the hats indicate that the one on the left is a conductor (even number) and that the one on the right is a motorette (odd number). The numbers imply that the women were based at the North Side Station, Twenty-fourth Avenue North and Washington Avenue, Minneapolis.
Before World War II, operating streetcars was considered a man's job. A 1916 Twin City Rapid Transit (TCRT) report shows sixty-eight female employees out of a workforce of 4,300, and those few were telephone operators and clerical office workers.

11,000 in St. John seek FEMA help
About 11,000 St. John the Baptist Parish residents have asked FEMA to inspect their homes for flood damage from Hurricane Isaac.
Michael Byrne, a manager with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, said Monday $13 million has been approved for residents affected by the flood as part of $45 million in aid approved statewide. Byrne says about 6,500 inspections have been completed.
Parish President Natalie Robottom tells The Times-Picayune she will ask the Parish Council Tuesday night to allow campers and mobile homes to be placed in front of homes under repair.
Robottom says parish inspectors will ensure the trailers have proper utility connections before permitting the inspections.

Led by black Irishman Phil Lynott, blue-collar rockers Thin Lizzy pre-dated punk and were therefore rendered irrelevant by it; later, outsider punks Costello and the Jam crossed over into literate pop. The perfectionist Pharmacistsdrummer Chris Wilson, bassist Dave Lerner, and organist-pianist Dorien Garrymeticulously groom these roots, entwining snappy, reggae-cut rhythms with shamrock-ringed guitar treble. The nails-on-blackboard violin, droning bass, and carefree whistling of "The Crane Takes Flight" burst into fleeting chord-kicks and melodramatic melody; "Hearts of Oak" grooves like "Watching the Detectives" at twice the speed; and "Where Have All the Rude Boys Gone?" jabbers gaily, with menacing undertones.

In "The Ballad of the Sin Eater" he travels the worldBelfast, San Sebastian, "Mother Russia," Damascus, Kigaliand, back home in Jersey (or is it Sierra Leone, he wondersshit, I thought I lived in a bad neighborhood), spits at his fellow Americans: "They hate you, they hate you 'cause you're guilty." Let him explain in "The High Party": "I'm looking at another day to find that I've got nothing to say/or I'm looking for another way to process what happened on that birthday"Leo was born on September 11. The "shitty war to fight for Babylon" he feared has, of course, begun. (Those Irish-folk touches sound all the more poetic for coming from a society beset by religious violence.) Who are we to blame him if he's nostalgic for last millennium?

A Risk-Based Approach to Evaluating Wildlife Demographics for Management in a Changing Climate: A Case Study of the Lewis's Woodpecker

Given the projected threat that climate change poses to biodiversity, the need for proactive response efforts is clear. However, integrating uncertain climate change information into conservation planning is challenging, and more explicit guidance is needed. To this end, this article provides a specific example of how a risk-based approach can be used to incorporate a species' response to climate into conservation decisions. This is shown by taking advantage of species' response (i.e., impact) models that have been developed for a well-studied bird species of conservation concern. Specifically, we examine the current and potential impact of climate on nest survival of the Lewis's Woodpecker (Melanerpes lewis) in two different habitats. To address climate uncertainty, climate scenarios are developed by manipulating historical weather observations to create ensembles (i.e., multiple sequences of daily weather) that reflect historical variability and potential climate change. These ensembles allow for a probabilistic evaluation of the risk posed to Lewis's Woodpecker nest survival and are used in two demographic analyses. First, the relative value of each habitat is compared in terms of nest survival, and second, the likelihood of exceeding a critical population threshold is examined. By embedding the analyses in a risk framework, we show how management choices can be made to be commensurate with a defined level of acceptable risk. The results can be used to inform habitat prioritization and are discussed in the context of an economic framework for evaluating trade-offs between management alternatives.

Denver Broncos offensive guard Zane Beadles and wide receiver Demaryius Thomas were selected to represent the AFC in their first career Pro Bowls, the NFL announced Monday. Beadles and Thomas will replace Patriots guard Logan Mankins and wide receiver Wes Welker, who will not play because of injuries. Beadles started all 16 games for the Broncos at left guard in 2012. He allowed just one sack and finished as the only Bronco to play every offensive or defensive snap. Thomas was fourth in the league with 1,434 receiving yards with 10 touchdowns on 94 catches. With Beadles and Thomas, the Broncos have seven Pro Bowlers. Cornerback Champ Bailey, tackle Ryan Clady, defensive end Elvis Dumervil, quarterback Peyton Manning and linebacker Von Miller were previously selected. The Pro Bowl is Sunday in Honolulu at 7 p.m. ET.

No Chemo Needed: Nanoparticle Double Agent Kills Lymphoma Cells
April Flowers for redOrbit.com – Your Universe Online
Is it possible to annihilate lymphoma without the use of chemotherapy drugs?
Researchers at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine say yes, by starving it of its favorite food: HDL cholesterol.
They have discovered a new nanoparticle that acts as a secret double agent, appearing to the cancerous lymphoma cell like natural HDL. When the cell engages with the particle, the particle blocks cholesterol from entering, killing the cell off eventually.
The new study, published in a recent issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, shows that synthetic HDL nanoparticles killed B-cell lymphoma — the most common form of the disease — in cultured human cells. It also inhibited human B-cell lymphoma tumor growth in mice.
"This has the potential to eventually become a nontoxic treatment for B-cell lymphoma which does not involve chemotherapy," said Leo I. Gordon, professor of medicine in hematology/oncology. "It's an exciting preliminary finding."
B-cell lymphoma is dependent on the uptake of natural HDL — short for high-density lipoprotein — from which it derives fat content, such as cholesterol, according to recent studies.
C. Shad Thaxton, assistant professor of urology, originally developed the nanoparticle as a possible therapy for heart disease. The particle mimics the size, shape and surface chemistry of natural HDL particles with one key difference: a five nanometer gold particle at its core. The gold delivers a double whammy to lymphoma. When the nanoparticle is incubated with human B-cell lymphoma cells or used to treat a mouse with the human tumor, the gold particle's spongy surface sucks out the lymphoma cell's cholesterol while the gold core prevents the cell from absorbing more cholesterol typically carried in the core of natural HDL particles.
The study results showed that the HDL nanoparticle had more than one trick up its sleeve.
"At first I was heavily focused on developing nanoparticles that could remove cholesterol from cells, especially those involved in heart disease," Thaxton said. "The lymphoma work has broadened this focus to how the HDL nanoparticles impact both the removal and uptake of cholesterol by cells. We discovered the particles are multi-taskers." The study also revealed that natural HDL did not kill the cells or inhibit tumor growth, the nanoparticle was essential in this process.
The collaboration between Gordon and Thaxton started shortly after Thaxton gave a lecture in 2010 to the Feinberg faculty about his new HDL nanoparticle. Gordon knew that patients with advanced forms of B-cell lymphoma sometimes have dropping levels of cholesterol and he was looking for new methods to deliver drugs to patients.
The team tested the HDL particle alone and transporting drugs. They found that the nanoparticle was just as effective at killing the B-cell lymphoma without the drugs.
"We thought, 'That's odd. Why don't we need the drug?'" Gordon recalled.
This led them to delving into the mechanism by which the HDL particles were sticking to the lymphoma cells' HDL receptors to manipulate cholesterol transport. Collaborators at Duke University analyzed patient samples to reveal that lymphoma cells in patients had an overproduction of HDL receptors compared to normal lymphocytes.
In 2012, the National Cancer Institutes reports that there were about 70,000 new cases of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in the U.S. with nearly 19,000 deaths. Approximately 90 percent of those new cases were B-cell lymphoma.
"Gold has a good track record of being compatible with biologic systems," Thaxton said.
The scientists are encouraged by the early data that shows HDL particles do not appear toxic to other human cells normally targeted by HDLs, normal human lymphocytes or to mice. Gold nanoparticles are excellent scaffolds for creating synthetic HDLs that closely mimic those found in nature because they can be made in a discreet size and shape.
"Like every new drug candidate, the HDL nanoparticle will need to undergo further testing," Thaxton noted.

I am writing this review to recognize the outstanding management. Katrina has always gone above and beyond to take care of all my needs. The property is beautiful-if you ever have any issues, just voice it to the staff and they WILL take care of it. I have had some concerns, but Katrina always took care of me. You will fall in love with the pool, the gym, and all the amenities they offer. Its a gorgeous facility, very safe, and in a very nice part of town. I highly recommend Amli at Escena.

Amli at la Villita has it all! Do not let the negative reviews fool you. I have been working with the leasing team since mid-January and have been nothing but utterly surprised and blown away by the top-notch service their team brings to the table!!! The management staff has been impeccable and I would have to say one of the best I've worked with. Yes, all companies and properties have their issues, so take the negative reviews with a grain of salt, but know that there are several of us who plan on staying at La Villita for years to come!!

This apartment has HORRIBLE management. THEY GAVE OUT MY PERSONAL INFORMATION WITHOUT MY PERMISSION TO ANOTHER TENANT BECAUSE HE ASKED FOR IT. Not only that, I was treated with the most disrespect I have ever encountered in my life. Management is all bubbly and fake to you face, but will do nothing for you if you need them. I was accused of lying by the management and they did nothing when my car was vandalized in THEIR parking lot, they told me I probably got it elsewhere, which not possible. Also, as I stood in the lobby waiting for a package, I could over hear them talking crap about me in the hallway. How unprofessional and downright tacky. Furthermore, after filing a complaint with the corporate office, nothing was done. DO NOT MOVE HERE!!

All I can say is that the last few months have been terrible. Serious maintenance problems started the instant moved in. I would seriously reconsider any idea of moving here. Rude staff, unreliable maintenance and over priced. I will not be full filling my lease and would have to say this is the worst apt experience I have ever had. I have heard many of the residents are anxiously awaiting for the complex on Royal ln to open. Check it out.

Kanye West is allegedly in the planning stages of a commitment ceremony that'll take place before girlfriend/baby momma Kim Kardashian gives birth to their first child.
While West would like to marry Kim, she's inconveniently still technically married to Kris Humphries, so the couple has decided to exchange non-legally binding vows and rings instead.
Which, considering Kim's marital record, is a much safer plan.
Charles and Te'Andrea Wilson were preparing to get married at First Baptist Church of Crystal Springs (that's in Mississippi, big surprise right ?), but the day before the ceremony, the pastor informed them that the white members of the "predominately" white church objected to the wedding taking place at the sanctuary

After speculation since, forever Nicole Richie and Joel Madden finally tied the knot Saturday night, at a private ceremony at daddy-Lionel Richie's house.

Keywords: Condominium
We are full time residents of Treasure Cay and absolutely love providing excellent service for our guests. I am John Cash, an eighth generation Bahamian and real estate broker, available to assist you with the purchase of condos, homes and land. My wife, Cathi, and I hope that your stay at our vacation property is a very enjoyable one and really appreciate the many repeat and referral customers that we have met over the years at Treasure Cay!
John Cash purchased this condo in 2001
Treasure Cay offers something for everyone! This resort has golf, tennis, snorkeling, diving, reef fishing, bone fishing, bill fishing, beach combing, and simply relaxing. Having a really protected marina and one of the best beaches in the world is always a plus also!
We have been coming to Treasure Cay as a family for the last 5 years and this is our second time staying in Bahama Breeze. It's just perfect! John's condo has everything you need to enjoy your stay. It's nice that there are already beach towels to use and beach toys for our kids to play with; less to pack! My criteria for picking a place to stay is that it MUST be on the beach and have a beautiful view of the water. Bahama Breeze definitely exceeds that need!
We have stayed in a few other units in the BBC complex and John's condo is our favorite. The views from the main living area and master suite are exactly what I need to relax. Since the unit doesn't get direct sun, mainly in the afternoon, like some other units, the temperature is very comfortable throughout. The unit is located by the pool with the bar & grill so that just adds to the convenience.
John is a pleasure to work with and is quick to help with any needs, if any. We can't wait to return!!!!!
About us: Husband, wife, and 2 daughters (ages 4 & 10)
We had a fabulous week staying at the "Bahama Breeze" condo in Treasure Cay! John met us upon arrival and was very friendly and made us feel at home. The view from the living area and master bedroom is AMAZING!! It was so peaceful to wake up every morning to the site of swaying palm trees, miles of white sand and aqua blue water. The condo is on the second floor, so there is a beautiful panorama of the ocean and the view isn't obstructed by the restaurant, trees and landscaping. We loved eating outside in the screened-in porch so you could still hear the waves and feel the breeze. The condo is immaculately decorated and equipped with everything you need for cooking, etc. and it was really nice to have free phone calling and wifi. The only thing in the condo that I would have liked was more water pressure in the master bathroom shower. The beach in front of the Bahama Beach Club is simply gorgeous! Many mornings we walked the length of it picking sea shells and swimming. The sea floor right in front of the Beach Club has quite a bit of grass, so it's not as nice for swimming, but if you walk to the right down the beach, it is has a beautiful white sand bottom and the swimming's great! Treasure Cay is a beautiful little community! It's super clean and everyone is very friendly (especially the other tourists and expats). We found the meals were quite expensive compared to some of the other Bahama Islands we've been too, but everything tasted yummy and the servings were generous. When you're there, you have to make sure to walk over in the morning to Florence's Cafe for a warm cinnamon bun! They are delicious!! All in all an incredible relaxing week in paradise!!
We just finished a delightful week at the Bahama Beach Club and could not be more pleased. This condo was just as presented on VRBO. It was clean, nicely furnished and was set up perfectly for a family vacation. We had four adults and two small children and had plenty of room for all. The owner's took great care making sure everything was to our satisfaction, checking with us shortly after we arrived. They were very responsive to our emails asking for information and special needs, such as a crib. We were very pleased with our time in Treasure Cay and the genuine interest the owners had in making sure we had a great experience. We have no reservation in giving this property a great review.
We are an extended family, grandparents, daughter and husband and grandchildren. We wanted a three bedroom condo near the beach that was child-friendly. This property was perfect for us and was exactly as described. It was spacious and clean, a few steps from the beach, well-maintained, and full of extras. The owner provided tons of upfront material and was available by phone. His recommendations were good. We found food prices to be quite a bit higher than we were used to and grocery stores not as well supplied so we would probably bring foodstuffs on a future visit. We would most certainly return and hightly recommend this property. The beach is amazing and we were often the only folks using it.
Our family had the pleasure of staying at this amazing get away. This second floor condo allowed us to enjoy the most beautiful ocean view ever. There is nothing more beautiful than the colorful waters of Treasure Cay. We loved eating our dinner on the patio enjoying the view with the refreshing ocean breeze in our hair. The condo was decorated beautifully and very spacious. Our family had plenty of room to get comfy. Each room had it's own TV to allow one to escape into solitude if needed. Of course enjoying WiFi was of great necessity for the younger crowd. In addition to snorkeling, our children took advantage of the kayaks. We saw dolphins, conch, sand dollars and sea turtles! To top it off was the incredible personal attention we received from Mr. Cash prior to our departure. We had an unusual situation that required assistance and Mr. Cash was easily accessible and readily available to help our family. A service well above and beyond the call of duty. We are so appreciative! Thanks for everything. The perfect vacation place!
We stayed at Bahama Breeze July 17,2012 thru July 25,2012. The condo is well decorated and clean. The view from the large screened balcony is unbelievable The condo and grounds are very well equipped for grilling and cooking. The grounds and pool bar area at the Bahama Beach Club are very well maintained and beautiful. John and Cathi were very helpful in making our vacation enjoyable. We are looking forward to our next visit.

09.05.04 - Jim Amato: Vonda Ward a 6'6" former college basketball star wanted to become the best female boxer in the world. Although undefeated Vonda had yet to reap the cash cow. It seemed to be coming closer this year though. A few more wins and a fight with the female side of the sport's money machine, Laila Ali would be awaiting her.
Either someone did not give Ann Wolfe the script or she just neglected to read it. Wolfe has her own personal agenda for Laila Ali and she was not about to let Vonda Ward stand in her way.
This fight for Ward was basically a bout to find out what she was made of. Still to me it didn't make sense for her to take this match. She probably could have racked up a few more wins over lesser opponents and then lured Ali in to a fight. Rumor has it that Laila is not to keen on fighting Wolfe. I'm sure Laila could have watched tapes of Vonda's life and death struggles with boxer named Salazar and seen Ward as very beatable.
Now that scenario has vanished thanks to one well placed right hand by Ann Wolfe. Fight ? What fight ? It was over almost as soon as it started. Ward flailed at the oncoming Wolfe with no effectiveness. Once inside, Wollfe set up the booming right hand that sent Vonda to dreamland.
Vonda was taken out on a stretcher but she appears to be OK. No more dreams of fighting Laila Ali. Vonda is from Northfield, Ohio which is close to both Cleveland and Akron. Two great fight towns. Vonda gave boxing her best shot but it may be time to move on. It was said that Ward already had another fight scheduled for this summer in Canton, Ohio. What were they thinking ? Did they really feel that Vonda would beat Wolfe ?
As for Laila Ali, she should be taking Ann Wolfe VERY seriously!

RENO, Nev. - The University of Nevada men's and women's tennis teams helped raise more than $8,000 for the Lake Tahoe School on Saturday by participating in a fundraiser at the 2013 Crystal Ball Auction.
The event was held at the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe and featured both live and silent auctions, including the items in connection with the Nevada tennis teams. Two all-access packages, featuring lessons with men's coach Erik Burton and women's coach Guillaume Tonelli, a road trip with either team in the upcoming season, Wolf Pack gear and a $500 gift certificate to the Tennis Warehouse among other items, were sold for $4,200 each.
All of the proceeds went directly to the Lake Tahoe School, a K-8 school in Incline Village that places a particular emphasis on the visual and performing arts.
The travel costs associated with the package and gift certificates were donated by Nevada tennis supporters Pourya and Jennifer Dehnadi, who drew up the idea alongside Burton as a way to give back to the Reno-Tahoe Community.
"The Dehnadis were the driving force behind our presence at the Crystal Ball on Saturday," Burton said. "I am grateful to them for their donations and know that we gave back to our community in a real way this weekend."
Tonelli raved about the event and Nevada's opportunity to contribute to an educational enterprise in the area.
"It was a spectacular night and a worthwhile cause," he said. "I'm ecstatic about the fact that both our men's and women's programs were able to contribute and want to thank the Dehnadis for their continued support."

The question is, what can a sequel bring us? Those involved also have to bring us a story that we haven't already seen. We don't need a simple rehash of previous stories. But how can it be explained if things occur in a different fashion?
This is where the idea of an "alternate universe" comes in. We've seen it happen with Eric Bana's character, Nero. He (and Spock) changed the course of history for the characters that we knew. This not only gave a story for the first movie but gave some freedom to the writers. Alex Krutzman discussed this with MTV the other day.
One of the obstacles that we found ourselves butting up against [when we took on the job] was this idea that we already knew the fate of the characters. If you're going to bring a whole new iteration of 'Trek' to life, you could never put them in any real danger — because you already know how they either died or lived. So, we felt like, all right, we have to find a way to make the future unpredictable, so whenever they're in these difficult, treacherous situations there truly is the risk of death.
So none of the characters are essentially "safe." I like that. It adds to the suspense of a good story. It was also mentioned that they probably won't deal with time travel again any time soon. The device that allowed it was destroyed.
Now we have to sit and wait for the next movie to come in order to see where these characters will boldly go.
Do you like the idea that the characters are all essentially 'starting over'? Do you like the possibility that the characters can veer off the path of what they've done before?

Who is J.C.? What is hidden behind the amiable facade of an unusually engaging and intelligent homeless? How did he go from evident riches and expensive education to rags and worse? In a page turner of a book, Laurie Anthony describes her quest for answers to this baffling riddle - a mission that ultimately proves to be a path of painful self-discovery as well. The book is an inter-racial and inter-gender odyssey, shuttling back and forth between serene Ohio and a multi-faceted Manhattan, between the 1950s and the present, between the author's own family and J.C.'s. One step forward - J.C. finds an apartment and buys a car - is invariably and dishearteningly followed by (at least) two steps back - J.C. again estranged from his children, whom he hasn't seen in decades. Gradually, the dark secrets, the black holes at the core of the J.C. galaxy of contradictory behaviors and traits - emerge. As they unfold, this riveting book rivals any thriller I have read. It is also an excellent primer to the inner world of the narcissistic psychopath. A must! Sam Vaknin, author of 'Malignant Self Love - Narcissism Revisited'Was this review helpful?
