Prairie Meadows became a possibility when then-Gov. Terry Branstad decided in 1983 to support a gambling bill that permitted betting on horse and dog races. Branstad said he was swayed after hearing arguments that the horse industry would help the struggling farm economy.
"I wasn't too enamored with gambling, but people said, 'It's a voluntary tax. We'd rather have this than having the state involuntarily raise taxes,' " said Branstad, now president of Des Moines University. "It was originally because of the horse industry and what it would do for agriculture. We were just coming out of the farm crisis.
Branstad now calls the facility "a positive."
"Money from other states is being spent here. Tourism has been increased. There's jobs. There's also been some suicides, there's been bankruptcies. There's been gambling addiction and marital problems associated with it, too. You can say there's been some good things, but there's also been some personal tragedies."
The casino has yielded a billion-dollar payoff since 1995, but Prairie Meadows' expectations were modest in 1989. The track's goal was merely to turn a profit, since Polk County was on the hook for its $40 million mortgage.
When developers failed to obtain private funding, county supervisors voted to back the revenue bonds used to build Prairie Meadows. A citizens committee voted 21-1 in favor of the move. One study estimated the horse track would make $1.4 million a year.
Instead, Prairie Meadows flopped in three months.
The horse track started with a $4 million reserve, used $2.5 million before it even opened and spent the rest by May 1989. The track stayed open for two years by borrowing $8.8 million from the county, arguing it was cheaper to keep operating than close.
Prairie Meadows filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy Nov. 27, 1991, and racing didn't resume until May 17, 1993. All the while, backers pushed for new gambling to help Polk County pay the debt.
"At first the talk was to seek video lottery games, but it wound up being slot legislation," Prairie Meadows board member Perry Chapin said.
The legislation passed in 1994 and Prairie Meadows unveiled 1,100 slot machines April 1, 1995. The new operation - racetrack and casino - made $50.4 million that year and paid off $89.3 million in county debt by December 1996.
Iowans' appraisal of gambling, as measured by The Des Moines Register's Iowa Poll, soured during the bankruptcy troubles but otherwise has fluctuated only slightly during the track's life. In 2004, 50 percent said gambling had been good for the state, and 35 percent said it had been bad.

An integrated platform for bovine DNA methylome analysis suitable for small samples

BMC Genomics 2014, 15:451 doi:10.1186/1471-2164-15-451Published: 9 June 2014
Oocytes and early embryos contain minute amounts of DNA, RNA and proteins, making the study of early mammalian development highly challenging. The study of the embryo epigenome, in particular the DNA methylome, has been made accessible thanks to the possibility of amplifying specific sequences according to their initial methylation status. This paper describes a novel platform dedicated to the genome-wide study of bovine DNA methylation, including a complete pipeline for data analysis and visualization. The platform allows processing and integrating of DNA methylome and transcriptome data from the same sample. Procedures were optimized for genome-wide analysis of 10 ng of DNA (10 bovine blastocysts). Bovine sperm and blastocysts were compared as a test of platform capability.
The hypermethylation of bovine sperm DNA compared to the embryo genome was confirmed. Differentially methylated regions were distributed across various classes of bovine sperm genomic feature including primarily promoter, intronic and exonic regions, non-CpG-island regions (shore, shelf and open-sea) and CpG islands with low-to-intermediate CpG density. The blastocyst genome bore more methylation marks than sperm DNA only in CpG islands with high CpG density. Long-terminal-repeat retrotransposons (LTR), LINE and SINE were more methylated in sperm DNA, as were low-complexity repetitive elements in blastocysts.
This is the first early embryo compatible genome-wide epigenetics platform for bovine. Such platforms should improve the study of the potential epigenetic risks of assisted reproductive technologies (ART), the establishment sequence of embryonic cell lines and potential deviations in both gene expression and DNA methylation capable of having long-term impact.

"Best property we rented in Italy so far, would recommend it"
Salvatore, the owner, is a very friendly and welcoming man. He waited for us where and when we agreed, a few minutes from the property. After showing us around he kindly showed me where the well stocked supermarket, the trainstation (for easy trains to Palermo) and the restaurants at the beach were (he recommended one for fresh fish - we ate there a few times - pizzas were also good) . When he noticed the ball available at the mini football field near the house was flat, he brought one from his house for our boys. The house is spacious and the kitchen well equiped. There is a walk in cupboard in the masterbedroom which is handy for your lugage. The terass around teh house is spacious and shaded. The garden well kept. We moved the table in the morning so we could have breakfast in the sun in the morning. Moved it a few meters and were in the shade for lunch. The beach is only 100 m from the house. We had a great time, thanks to the weather, the friendlines of the sicilians but also thanks to the owners hospitality. The area was quite, we saw a common swimmingpool on the estate but that was still covered seen the time of the year. The village is near the motorway junction Palermo /Messina / Catania / so ideal to visit Cefalu, Palermo, Monreale, Villa Roma del Casale, Etna... Garden is closed off, so ideal for children. Estate is walled as well, even to go to the beach you need to open a gate.

"Perfect villa, excellent owner - highly recommended"
Met owner 2 minutes away from villa, escorted in to a gated property only 1 minute from beach. Property was spacious & exceptionally kept - all necessities available and Salvatore made sure we knew where everything was ! Property was ideally located for exploring Sicily, close to town of Cefalu and motorways. Outside barbecue area was a particular favourite feature, surrounded by beautiful gardens. Supermarket was 2 minutes drive away, as was a services station. Would definitely recommend to others wishing to stay in a peaceful villa & for group of travellers as there was plenty of room at a very reasonable price.

Colleges and universities often give honorary degrees to key politicians, authors and public leaders, as a way of both honoring their achievements and drawing prestige to the school itself. That St. Andrews University in Scotland bestowed their own honorary degree on Hillary Clinton, a former United States Secretary of State, senator and First Lady — not to mention potential presidential candidate — shouldn't be seen as surprising. What is surprising is the outrage coming from those who oppose abortion.
St. Andrews is the oldest college in Scotland and is celebrating its 600th birthday this week. As part of the celebration, the school invited Clinton to speak and receive an honorary degree, and abortion opponents were incensed. The Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (SPUC), a London anti-choice action group, led a charge to force the university to rescind their offer, relying on the powers of the internet to display their wrath. According to The Courier UK, SPUC drafted an email campaign asking followers to contact St. Andrews University and demand that she not be honored by the school because she "promotes abortion" and thus cannot be considered a human rights supporter. Thousands rose to the challenge, outdoing each other in their extremist rhetoric attacking the former Secretary of State.
"When history is written you will see that giving a degree to Mrs Clinton will be like honouring Adolf Hitler for ridding Germany of Jews and Mao Tse Tung for turning China's fields into factories and killing millions," one emailer wrote.
The administration was unmoved by the mailers. "As a university, we stand for freedom of thought, freedom of expression and a willingness to listen to and learn from the views of all. It's in our DNA," responded Principal Dr. Louise Richardson. "By the same measure, we are intrinsically immune to intimidation and intolerance."
Protesting colleges who invite political figures simply because the protesters don't like their positions on abortion is by no means exclusive to the U.K. In 2009 Pro-Life Action League arranged a massive protest at Notre Dame after the University invited President Barack Obama to give the commencement address, and that protest resulted in over 80 arrests. Protesters also bought billboards near the college on which they placed the message "Notre Dame: Obama is pro abortion choice. How dare you honor him," according to the Washington Post.
Despite the anger of those who oppose abortion, Clinton received her award — doctor of laws degree — in a ceremony devoid of any discernible protest. At the ceremony, she acknowledged the St. Andrew's role as the first Scottish university to be led by a woman and praised "Scottish enlightenment" as leading to societal progress, according to the BBC.
"It is important that as we chart our way forward in this new century we bring with it the enlightened view that every individual around the world, regardless of gender, race, religion, ethnicity or orientation should be able to contribute to their society and have the chance to live up to his or her god-given potential," said Clinton in her remarks.
The SPUC remains undaunted by their failure to have any affect on the University's final decision to honor Clinton, simply posting one final blog post declaring: "Hillary Clinton supports the killing of unborn children in the developing world. She should not have been awarded a doctorate by the University of St. Andrews.

This type of thing will continue until we all support the belief that EVERY person has a right to live their life as they wish as long as they do not infringe on the rights of other citizens. This means we have to be tolerant and understand that your rights end at my nose.
Wow, we should all just agree to retire calling our political opponents Nazis or Hitler. I mean even Indiana Jones moved on by the 4th film.
Yvette T. sorry, your "Spiritual perspective" is nothing more than base judgmentalism, not an actual spiritual perspective.
Is it because men feel as if they have lost their control over women or that women are taking something away from women, how is it that a male is the one mostly out front on issues like abortions? When did you give birth women who are you to say to another woman that she can not choose not to give birth didn't you have a choice to give birth give to me the same rights that you yourself have. All of us are women and should be able to say when and how we treat our bodies individually not collective it is one woman body is one choice she should be the one to make that choice.
Snobbish unlearned uncaring people, iggs me to no end, Others beliefs and life stile do not mean that one can not learn something from that person. But I guess people like these Abortion Advocate, you would not learn any thing because you are not listing.
Nothing new about the fact that people have strong opinions and do not hesitate to express them in emails, etc. In my view, gained over 50 years, is that most people are not to be admired, as I once believed them to be, but seen for what they are. Most never have opened their third eyes and never even realize that they have one that is shut tightly, that they are in effect, blind. Their actions while on Earth, taking life from other beings, seeking money, satiation of physicality, etc, is just disastrous from the spiritual perspective.
Wait a minute, I'm confused . . . aren't women inferior and just chattel??
Ooooo this sounds like a gooood one. I'll be BAACK

Bankers are hoping the new CoCo trade - the first UK offering of its kind in the US market - will herald the start of a thriving US dollar investor base for European bank capital.
Barclays itself is running the book, along with joint leads Citi, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, SMBC Nikko, UBS and Wells Fargo. None of them would comment Tuesday.
But buyside sources said the juicy initial price thoughts, in the low 8% range, had brought in about USD4.5bn of orders by the time the New York book-building period was closing.
"That's going to give this deal a pretty good boost for book-building in Asia and Europe, so I'm guessing they'll end up pulling in guidance," said one investor.
The deal is the first Alternative Tier 1 structure from the UK to test broad US demand in the SEC-registered public bond market for perpetual securities that convert to equity, which they will in this case if the bank's common equity falls below 7.00% of risk-weighted assets on a quarterly basis.
Some in the market are expecting Barclays to price somewhere between 7.5% and 8.00% - and that the deal will be around USD1bn-USD2bn in size.
Bankers away from the transaction expect Barclays will price and size it to be a resounding success, which could mean keeping an 8% handle or being conservative on size.
In addition, the bank needs to keep the US market open for itself; it told investors it wants to issue GBP2bn of AT1 securities by June next year.
European capital securities are being sought after by US investors as the next big spread-compression trade, now that capital is being shored up and Europe is no longer in crisis.
The products are especially alluring given that US bank spreads have tightened so much that they trade inside of US investment-grade industrials for the first time since the crisis.
There are also some investors jumping into the deal to turn a short-term profit.
"I am buying this deal because there's good demand and I can make money out of it," said one investor. "Many people are looking at this as at worst, you are getting an 8% payout on something that could end up being stock in Barclays."
Another investor said: "This has a lot of broad appeal with the equity piece being a factor. It's easy for arbitrageurs to isolate risk."
And while the bonds are rated BB+/B-, many investors see the deal as an investment-grade bank paying 8.00%.
The structure has some quirks that make it difficult to compare it to other European CoCo deals done in the 144a/Reg S markets.
Barclays has two outstanding Tier 2 CoCos in dollars, the 7.625% bullet 2022s (yielding 7.00%) and its 7.75% 10-non-call fives (yielding 6.15%).
One buyside source said that many were looking at the 7.75% 10NC5s and building up pricing from there to compensate for it being a perpetual bond, rather than one with a final maturity.
Other wrinkles are that it has a discretionary coupon payment feature rather than the "must pay" on the 10NC5s as well as a fully-loaded, rather than a transitional, trigger.
The difference between fully loaded and transitional triggers comes in how Tier 1 is calculated.
Moreover, unlike US Tier 1 perpetual preferreds, the deal doesn't have a dividend stopper.
Such stoppers ensure that the issuer stops paying dividends on its equity if it decides to stop - or is made to stop - paying the coupons on the bonds.

Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts for millions of chemical reactions within the body. Nearly all processes in the body, from breaking down food to healing from an injury, require enzymes. Enzymes are used for the building, maintenance and repair of every cell of the body. There are three primary types of enzymes:
Though our body produces enzymes naturally, many health care experts now believe that our natural enzyme production begins to decline after age 25. As we age, our body produces fewer enzymes, and eventually we become enzyme deficient. This is when many people begin to notice the effects of aging, including joint pain and circulatory problems, slower injury and wound healing, and increased internal inflammation and disease.
Supplementing with systemic enzymes will help to build and maintain health. Because our bodies natural production on enzymes begins to wane in early adulthood, most people would likely benefit from supplementing with systemic enzymes. Whether taking Vitalzym to help address a specific condition, or to simply promote prevention and better overall health, supplementing with enzymes will provide your body with the additional support it needs to thrive.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), commonly found in asprin, advil, and other anti-inflammatory drugs, can be helpful to reduce inflammation temporarily, but often cause more harm than good. NSAIDs have been shown to suppress the production of ALL circulating immune complexes, some of which are needed to maintain balance in the body.
Systemic enzymes on the other hand, are able to keep the balance of circulating immune complexes in check by aiding in the production of beneficial killer cells and CIC's and then by helping the liver properly dispose of the toxins. When the immune system is overburdened with the production and removal of circulating immune complexes, these CIC's can build up and become trapped in the tissues of the body and set off a reaction that leads to inflammation, pain and tissue damage.
According to the American Gastroenterological Association, NSAIDs hospitalize over 100,000 people and kill thousands in the U.S. each year. Systemic enzymes, on the other hand, are a safe and effective alternative, and have NO LD-50, or, toxic dose, and do not create side effects like those associated with NSAIDs.
Serrapeptase has proven to be one of the strongest and most effective proteolytic enzymes able to break down fibrin and reduce inflammation. Clinical studies show that Serrapeptase, a key ingredient in Vitalzym, induces fibrinolytic, anti-inflammatory and anti-edemic (prevents swelling and fluid retention) activity in a number of tissues, and that its anti-inflammatory effects are superior to other proteolytic enzymes.(1)
Besides reducing inflammation, one of Serrapeptases most profound benefits is reduction of pain, due to its ability to block the release of pain-inducing amines from inflamed tissues.(2) Physicians throughout Europe and Asia have recognized the anti-inflammatory and pain-blocking benefits of this naturally occurring substance and are using it in treatment as an alternative to salicylates, ibuprofen and other NSAIDs.(3)
We are all familiar with the pain and inflammation that occurs when we are injured, have an infection, or have had surgery. Not many people, however, are actually familiar with the body's internal inflammatory process that occurs within each of our bodies. This internal inflammation can have a significant effect on the state of our health, leading to a variety of serious conditions and diseases, It often goes unnoticed until it is too late. Internal inflammation most often comes from undiagnosed food allergies, excess weight, yeast and bacterial overgrowths, unaddressed infections and chronic high cortisol levels, usually caused by chronic high stress.
According to an article in the New York Times titled Body's Defender Goes on the Attack, "Scientists are coming to realize that inflammation may underlie many other common chronic diseases that come with aging, including atherosclerosis, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease and osteoporosis. Inflammation is also implicated in asthma, cirrhosis of the liver, some bowel disorders, psoriasis, meningitis, cystic fibrosis, and even cancer." (10)
The New York Times article continues to say "two large studies -- one in men and one in women -- have demonstrated that the higher a person's C-reactive protein (CRP) level, the greater the risk of a heart attack or stroke."
C-reactive protein is produced by the liver and is a clinical marker of general and/or cardiac-related inflammation. When internal inflammation is present, CRP levels can rise.
In Mercola.com's article: How Inflammation Affects Every Aspect of Your Health, Philip Schauer, MD, director of the Bariatric and Metabolic Institute at the Cleveland Clinic, is quoted as saying "There are clear indications that inflammation explains why plaque builds up in the arteries in patients with atherosclerosis.Chronic inflammation also plays a direct role in diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, asthma and many other conditions." The article goes on to explain that the #1 warning sign of chronic inflammation is excessive visceral fat, ie excess fat around the waist.
Systemic enzymes such as Vitalzym and Vitalzym Cardio can be helpful for reducing inflammation because they are able to break down the proteins (CICs) responsible for causing the inflammation. What is more impressive is that enzymes are able to identify useful proteins from foreign or exogenous proteins, which are the proteins that can contribute to health problems.
Systemic enzymes can be helpful for fibrosis conditions in the body as fibrosis conditions are caused by a hard, sticky protein called fibrin. Enzymes are able to break down fibrin and reduce the development of excess fibrin in the body. Fibrosis of the organs in particular can cause particular health challenges. As fibrin collects in our organs, it can cause a hardening and shrinking of the organ tissue, eventually leading to poor organ function and possibly failure. As we age, fibrin tends to build up in our body and can contribute to a variety of conditions including:
Enzymes like those in Vitalzym Cardio support wellness by cleaning up the blood. The blood is the highway through which nutrients, as well as toxins and cellular waste, travel to reach their final destinations. When the waste and toxins are not adequately cleared out, often due to lack of enzymes and sluggish liver function, they get recycled in the blood, creating a sort of "traffic jam of the vital detoxification pathways," which can contribute to inflammation and poor health. Enzymes are able to keep the highway clear and traffic free by reducing excess or harmful circulating immune complexes, cellular debris, and toxins in the blood that may be contributing to viruses, allergies, and fatigue.
When systemic enzymes are taken, they stand ready in the blood and take the strain off of the liver by:
And here we come to the only warning we have to give concerning the use of Vitalzym or any other systemic enzyme - don't use the product if you are a hemophiliac or are on prescription blood thinners like coumadin, heparin and plavix without talking to your doctor. The enzymes cause the drugs to work better, so there is the possibility of thinning the blood too much.
|Enzymes are extremely effective in supporting immune function.Further, enzymes are adaptogenic, seeking to restore a steady state to the body (5). When the immune system is running low, we become susceptible to infectious disease. Vitalzym increases immune response, producing more Natural Killer cells, and improving the efficiency of the white blood cells, all leading to improved immunity.
When it's cranked up too high, then the system creates antibodies that attack it's own tissues, as are seen in the autoimmune diseases of Multiple Sclerosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Lupus. In this case, Vitalzym will tone down immune function and eat away at the antibodies the immune system is making to attack its bodies own tissue.
According to Tom Bohager, author of Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes:
|"The immune system's ability to fight off invaders depends on the enzyme protease, which breaks down proteins. Most types of illnesses are in some way related to protein. For example, cancer cells are surrounded by the protein fibrin. The blood clots that cause stroke and a high percentage of heart attacks are made up of this same protein. Pathogenic bacteria and parasites are comprised of proteins. Viruses are enveloped by protein, and fungal forms such as Candida contain a protein nucleus surrounded by a chitin shell. Therefore, we need a plentiful supply of protease to overcome protein invaders in the body that will make us ill if left unchecked."
|Yeast organisms like Candida Albicans are single-celled organisms that naturally reside in the intestinal tract. Normally, they do no harm, because they are kept in check by beneficial bacteria (probiotics) like acidophilus and bifidus. When yeast overgrows, however, it can create a wide variety of symptoms including:
Vitalzym can help manage yeast and keep it under control because it is actually able to break down the cell wall of the yeast. Further, yeast can cause problems by releasing toxins into the blood stream that can not only cause discomfort, but also put stress on the liver. Vitalzym supports optimal liver function and detoxification, and will help to ensure your body is able to metabolize and excrete the toxins that yeast creates as it dies off.

4.7 engine swap help
I have a 2002 with a 4.7. Engine has head gasket issues and 187,000 miles on it. Got it cheap, with the intent of fixing the head gasket issues, for now-it runs great, then swapping out the engine in the spring. I've read around the forum and researched other sources, only to find different answers to my questions. Noone seems to know for sure.
Since low mileage 4.7's are hard to find at a good price, i think i'm going with a 5.7. I need to know if anyone knows for sure, or if there is a website i can go to for interchange info, like, what years are interchangeable, and, what models? Jeep, Durango, Ram? And, what needs to be changed over? I know I'd need a 5.7 wiring harness and ecu, and 5.7 motor mounts. Anything else?
Any help would be greatly appreciated....thanks
