Article: Effects of an Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor Blocker on Aortic Valve Sclerosis in a Preclinical Model[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background Aortic valve sclerosis (AVS) is a chronic, progressive disease involving lipid infiltration, inflammation, and tissue calcification. Despite its high prevalence, there are currently no clinically-approved pharmaceuticals for the management of AVS. The objective of the current study was to elucidate the effects of an angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker, alone or in combination with statin therapy, on the progression of AVS. Methods Male New Zealand White rabbits were fed an atherogenic diet for a period of 12 months to induce AVS. Once disease was established, rabbits were block randomly assigned to receive either no treatment, olmesartan medoxomil, atorvastatin calcium, or a combination of both drugs for a period of 6 months. Disease progression was monitored in vivo using clinically-relevant magnetic resonance imaging and aortic valve cusps were examined ex vivo using histological and immunohistochemical methods. Results Cusp thickness significantly increased (0.58 ± 0.03 versus 0.39 ± 0.03 mm for Cholesterol and Control, respectively; P <0.0001) and all classic hallmarks of disease progression — including lipid infiltration, inflammation, and tissue calcification — were observed after 12 months. Unfortunately, neither olmesartan medoxomil nor atorvastatin calcium were able to reverse or delay disease progression during the 6 month treatment period. However, several histological changes were observed in the valvular microenvironment. Conclusions The current study suggests that angiotensin receptor blockers, alone or in combination with statin therapy, may not be suitable for management of clinical AVS.The Canadian journal of cardiology 09/2014; 30(9).

ABSTRACT: The synthesis of defined glycans enables us to further understand their roles in a biological context. While useful chemical methods have been developed for the synthesis of glycans, these typically require complex protection and deprotection steps along with challenging control of anomeric stereochemistry. Enzymatic methods offer an attractive alternative to chemical synthesis. In particular, the use of glycosynthases and thioglycoligases, classes of engineered glycoside hydrolases, offer an enticing approach to the stereo- and regioselective synthesis of glycans without the need for protecting groups. Herein we describe recent progress in the use of glycosynthases and thioglycoligases for the synthesis of glycans and glycopolymers.Biopolymers 10/2013; 99(10).

ABSTRACT: Functional metagenomics has emerged as a powerful method for gene model validation and enzyme discovery from natural and human engineered ecosystems. Here we report development of a high-throughput functional metagenomic screen incorporating bioinformatic and biochemical analyses features. A fosmid library containing 6,144 clones sourced from a mining bioremediation system was screened for cellulase activity using 2,4-dinitrophenyl β-cellobioside, a previously proven cellulose model substrate. Fifteen active clones were recovered and fully sequenced revealing 9 unique clones with the ability to hydrolyze 1,4-β-D-glucosidic linkages. Transposon mutagenesis identified genes belonging to glycoside hydrolase (GH) 1, 3, or 5 as necessary for mediating this activity. Reference trees for GH 1, 3, and 5 families were generated from sequences in the CAZy Database for automated phylogenetic analysis of fosmid end and active clone sequences revealing known and novel cellulase encoding genes. Active cellulase genes recovered in functional screens were subcloned into inducible high copy plasmids, expressed and purified to determine enzymatic properties including thermostability, pH optima, and substrate specificity. The workflow described here provides a general paradigm for recovery and characterization of microbially-derived genes and gene products based on genetic logic and contemporary screening technologies developed for model organismal systems.Journal of Biotechnology 07/2013; 167(4).

Article: Distal heme pocket residues of B-type dye-decolorizing peroxidase: arginine but not aspartate is essential for peroxidase activity.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: DypB from Rhodococcus jostii RHA1 is a bacterial dye-decolorizing peroxidase (DyP) that oxidizes lignin and Mn(II). Three residues interact with the iron-bound solvent species in ferric DypB: Asn-246 and the conserved Asp-153 and Arg-244. Substitution of either Asp-153 or Asn-246 with alanine minimally affected the second order rate constant for Compound I formation (k(1) ∼ 10(5) M(-1)s(-1)) and the specificity constant (k(cat)/K(m)) for H(2)O(2). Even in the D153A/N246A double variant, these values were reduced less than 30-fold. However, these substitutions dramatically reduced the stability of Compound I (t(1/2) ∼ 0.13 s) as compared with the wild-type enzyme (540 s). By contrast, substitution of Arg-244 with leucine abolished the peroxidase activity, and heme iron of the variant showed a pH-dependent transition from high spin (pH 5) to low spin (pH 8.5). Two variants were designed to mimic the plant peroxidase active site: D153H, which was more than an order of magnitude less reactive with H(2)O(2), and N246H, which had no detectable peroxidase activity. X-ray crystallographic studies revealed that structural changes in the variants are confined to the distal heme environment. The data establish an essential role for Arg-244 in Compound I formation in DypB, possibly through charge stabilization and proton transfer. The principle roles of Asp-153 and Asn-246 appear to be in modulating the subsequent reactivity of Compound I. These results expand the range of residues known to catalyze Compound I formation in heme peroxidases.Journal of Biological Chemistry 02/2012; 287(13):10623-30.

Article: Angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker inhibits arterial calcification in a pre-clinical model.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Arterial calcification is a common complication of several disorders and is a strong predictor of mortality. The mechanism underlying arterial calcification is not fully understood and as such, no pharmaceutical therapies are currently available which impede its progression. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of an angiotensin II (AngII) type 1 receptor blocker (ARB) on arterial calcification. Male New Zealand White rabbits were fed an atherogenic diet to induce atherosclerosis and arterial calcification over a period of 12 weeks, with an ARB administered in the final 4 weeks. Using clinically relevant micro-computed tomography, we found that animals fed the atherogenic diet displayed extensive arterial calcification when compared with control. In contrast, administration of the ARB completely inhibited calcification (2.80 ± 1.17 vs. 0.01 ± 0.01% calcified tissue in cholesterol and ARB-treated, respectively; n = 6 and 5; P < 0.05). Calcified regions were characterized by up-regulation of bone morphogenetic protein 2, osteocalcin, and the AngII type 1 receptor and concomitant down-regulation of α-smooth muscle actin, consistent with a phenotypic switch from vascular to osteoblast-like cells. These data provide the first evidence that angiotensin receptor blockade can inhibit arterial calcification by disrupting vascular osteogenesis and suggest that ARBs may be a novel treatment option for patients suffering from vascular calcification.Cardiovascular Research 01/2011; 90(1):165-70.

Article: Enzymatic thioxyloside synthesis: characterization of thioglycoligase variants identified from a site-saturation mutagenesis library of Bacillus circulans xylanase.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Thioglycoligases are engineered enzymes for the synthesis of thioglycosides that are derived from retaining glycosidases by replacing the acid/base catalyst. The optimal choice of substitution for the acid/base mutant is currently unknown, so to investigate this question a complete acid/base library of the model glycosidase Bacillus circulans xylanase (Bcx) was generated by using site-saturation mutagenesis. A novel screening approach combining active site titration with semiquantitative product analysis by thin layer chromatography was established and used to evaluate specific activities of each mutant enzyme within crude cell lysates. The six most active Bcx variants were analyzed in more detail, a pH optimum of 8.5 was established and the identity of reaction products was confirmed. Optimal choices for substitution were small, preferably polar amino acids such as threonine, cysteine, and serine. We discuss the resultant data in the context of previously published studies on thioglycoligases.ChemBioChem 03/2010; 11(4):533-8. DOI:10.1002/cbic.200900711 · 3.06 Impact Factor

Up-and-down Georgetown trending up again
WASHINGTON -- To stop being up and down, Georgetown is getting up and down.
Few teams have been more maddeningly inconsistent this season than the Hoyas, who have mixed strong performances against highly ranked teams with games that have been almost too painful to watch.
"It might be just one of those inconsistent years," co-captain Markel Starks said Tuesday. "And you never know -- it could come out for the better, it could come out for the worse. But hopefully sometime soon we figure out where we are as a team, and we just stay there."
The recent arc has been a positive one. After starting 0-2 in Big East play for the first time in 11 years and losing forward Greg Whittington for academic reasons, Georgetown (14-4, 4-3) has won four of five, including back-to-back wins over then-No. 24 Notre Dame and then-No. 5 Louisville as they head into Wednesday's home game against Seton Hall.
"We know we can play with anybody," said Otto Porter, the team's leading scorer, "but we've got to remain consistent."
The key, if the last few victories are any indication, is that the Hoyas play better when they play faster. With Porter and Starks the only reliable scorers in a half-court setting, Georgetown has been creating more up-tempo chances through better defense and rebounding.
"We have guys that can run," Starks said. "And at any given time, we want to run."
Whittington was Georgetown's second leading scorer. He's still practicing with the team and his return hasn't been ruled out, but the Hoyas have to carry on as if he won't come back. His absence has forced coach John Thompson III to rely more on a bench that was already thin, and to play smaller more often.
Whereas sometimes the Hoyas would have four forwards and one guard on the floor earlier this season, it's now just as likely to see four guards complementing the versatile 6-foot-8 Porter.
"I thought we had five guards," quipped Thompson, who doesn't like to apply guard-forward labels to his Princeton-style offense. "Because I consider Otto a guard."
But defense and rebounding can only take a team so far. The Hoyas could use a third scorer to replace Whittington's points. A promising candidate is freshman D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera, who is averaging nearly 12 points over the last three games.
Thompson said it's not unusual to have to adjust on the fly during a season, especially with a team that starts three sophomores and two juniors, but any dispassionate look at Georgetown's results shows extremes that would try any coach's patience. The same Hoyas who beat UCLA and took Indiana to overtime in November later scored 37 points in a win over Tennessee and 48 and 45 in losses to Marquette and Pittsburgh.
"We've had bad days where we've had losses and bad days where we've had victories," Thompson said. "We've had good days where we've had losses, and good days where we've had victories.
"A lot of that happens when you don't have seniors. In many ways our sophomore class is like the core of a lot of things that we're doing. And you forget that they're sophomores. They're still learning, they're still growing, and all of a sudden all those roles are different than what they were last year."

Title: Is it Worth it to Stay?
Rating: PG
Pairing: B/R and mentions of B/A
Summary: Riley contemplates love, Shanshu, and where Buffy's heart truly lies.
Disclaimer: I don't own them, if I did B/A would have gotten a happily ever after. The song lyrics are Kelly Clarkson's "Where is Your Heart?"
A/N: Every time I listen to my cd and hear this song I think it would go perfectly with either a Buffy or Gilmore Girls fic from Riley or Dean's POV. This isn't how I pictured the fic going so the song my not really mesh well with it, but oh well. Please R/R. Don't be too harsh with criticism though. I hope you enjoy the fic, it's only my second Buffy one.
Where is your heart?
'Cause I don't really feel you
Where is your heart?
What I really need is to believe you
Is it so hard
To give me what I need?
I want your heart to bleed
That's all I'm asking for
I often find myself asking, "Is it worth it to stay?" A couple of months ago I could have wholeheartedly agreed that yes, it is worth it to stay. But now, I'm not so sure.
I used to think she actually loved me. That turned out to be wistful thinking. I eventually thought I could love her enough for the both of us, that maybe in time she'd forget her vampire lover and move on.
I know she wants to love me, that much is clear. I can't blame her for not loving me. After all, she was the one who said you can't help who you fall in love with, and she was right. But that doesn't keep me from wishing that she could.
Her heart isn't in it, though.
I know that you're true to me
You're always there
You say you care
I know that you want to be mine
Sometimes, I think I should just be thankful that I have her. She's not leaving me, she's committed to our relationship fully. For now.
I know she's waiting for the day that all her dreams and fantasies come true, the same day my whole world will come crashing down.
Angel's Shanshu.
I've been awaiting this day for months now, and the unbearable heartache that will undoubtedly come with it. Every now and then, in a moment of weakness, I allow myself to dream about the possibility that she won't leave me.
But then I remember how she whispers 'Angel' in her sleep at night, or how she barely lets me kiss her on her birthday. And whenever I see the ring on her left ring finger, facing in, I know all my dreams have been in vain. The scar on her neck, the one she cherishes, is a constant reminder of the man before me. The one who claimed her as his mate. The one who she gave her heart to willingly, who never gave it back.
So, I ask again, "Is it worth it to stay?"
Where is your heart?
'Cause I don't really feel you
Where is your heart?
What I really need is to believe you
Is it so hard
To give me what I need?
I want your heart to bleed
That's all I'm asking for
A/N2: Thanks for reading, I hoped you enjoyed. Sorry for the shortness. All feedback is very much appreciated. (hint, hint, wink, wink, nudge, nudge)

SUP 720 -3B Supervisor Engine Crashed
In my previous post I talked about the crashed Sup 720- 3B supervisor Engine for a Cisco Catalyst 6513 Switch. Since there was no ray of hope for the SUP 720-3B Supervisor Engine and I couldn't make use of "show tech" IOS command. I decided to open a TAC case with Cisco.
The TAC Engineer after studying the logs generated by the crashed Sup 720- 3B supervisor Engine came up with the following reply
"Hello Yasir
It seems we have faulty SUP and need to be replaced since it is keep crashing and not coming up."
After looking at the log's I predict there might be problem with flash memory of SUP 720 -3B Supervisor Engine.

How to configure HRSP between Nexus 7000 and Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switches?
Configuring HRSP in a Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switch is often an easy task and it takes slight different approach. Recently we had some issues in our Data Centre and then I was forced to configuring the HSRP between a Cisco Nexus 7010 Switch and Cisco Catalyst 6506 E Switch. The configuration was quite simple, I would like to share the steps need to configure HSRP between a Cisco Nexus 7000 Series and Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switches.
In the below example I will configure HRSP for VLAN 34 with a subnet of 10.204.34.0/24
Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Configuration
Step 1 – Create VLAN 34 in Cisco Catalyst Switch and assign an IP Address
MBGF-DAC-6500-BB01(config)#interface vlan 34
MBGF-DAC-6500-BB01(config-if)#ip address 10.204.34.3 255.255.255.0
Step 2 – Configure HSRP group id, priority and timers, my active switch will be Cisco 6500 Switch due to its priority
MBGF-DAC-6500-BB01(config-if)# standby 34 ip 10.204.34.1
MBGF-DAC-6500-BB01(config-if)# standby 34 timers 1 3
MBGF-DAC-6500-BB01(config-if)# standby 34 priority 150
MBGF-DAC-6500-BB01(config-if)# standby 34 preempt
Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switch Configuration
Step 1 – Create VLAN 34 in Cisco Nexus Switch and assign an IP Address
VDC-Admin-AG01-MB-1256-002(config)# interface vlan 34
VDC-Admin-AG01-MB-1256-002(config-if)# ip address 10.204.34.2/24
Step 2 – Configure HSRP group id, priority and timers , Nexus will be in standby mode
VDC-Admin-AG01-MB-1256-002(config-if)#hsrp 34
VDC-Admin-AG01-MB-1256-002(config-if-hsrp)# priority 110
VDC-Admin-AG01-MB-1256-002(config-if-hsrp)# timers 1 3

Cisco predicts weak quarter
Cisco CEO John Chambers expects Q4 sales growth will be between 0% to 2 %, which is much below the analyst expectations of 7%. Cisco Systems also warned they are looking to reduce the workforce with a target of saving S1 billion per year. Most of job cuts are most likely to come through an early retirement programs, already Cisco managed to shed 550 jobs with the closure of its Flip unit.
During a May 11 conference call to discuss quarterly financial numbers, both Cisco Chairman and CEO John Chambers and COO Gary Moore said job cuts were on the way as the networking giant tries to get back on solid footing after several disappointing quarters.
For the last quarter which ended 30th April, Cisco reported sales were up 4.8% to $10.9 billion, although income was down 17.6% to $1.8bn from $2.2bn in the same period of 2010.
"This quarter played out as we expected," said Chambers. "We have acknowledged our challenges. We know what we have to do. We have a clear game plan, and we are a company with a track record of market-shaping innovation."
I expect Cisco to concentrate on their core technologies and products which are quite popular worldwide; especially in Middle East Cisco is a networking pioneer.
HP debuts "Toner Cartridge Authentication Software"
At least in this part of World counterfeiting printer cartridges has become a common activity. To tackle this issue HP becomes the first company in the world to debut Toner Cartridge Authentication software. The goal of the software is to detect counterfeit toner cartridges and alert the user that the cartridge is not an original HP brand cartridge
The newly announced Toner Cartridge Authentication software is comprised of three components working together. The smart chip technology contains authentication information which is collected by the Authentication software and transmitted to the authentication web service. That service then checks the data and once it is validated, it is sent back to the software, which shows the result in a pop-up box on a users' screen. Guess what the whole process takes about a minute, amazing!
The software can be downloaded from HP for LaserJet printers, Inkjet printers already have the software embedded within the firmware. Currently the 1000, 2000 and 3000 series LaserJet printers are supported and by 2012 HP hoping support all the HP products that comes under the ink segment.
"Either you get a message saying no risk detected, all packages are original or you get a big, bold risk detected message. If you get the risk detected message, we suggest you also click the link directly to the anti-counterfeit page," said Andrea Gebhard, LaserJet Supplies, Imaging and Printing Group, Middle East, Mediterranean and Africa.
According to HP in the span of four years they discovered more than 30 million counterfeit products worldwide.
In addition to the Cartridge Authentication Software, HP advises that there are three basic steps that every user of HP supplies can take to identify the authenticity of an HP product, including checking for holographic security labels on the packaging tabs, checking the quality of the packaging and checking the quality and finish of the cartridge itself.
Resequence the access-list!
When it comes to modifying Access lists in Cisco IOS devices most of us remove the ACL's from the Cisco Router and then edit the entries in a note, and then paste back the modified ACL to the respective router via CLI.
There is a way to reduce the overhead involved in modifying ACL by using the Cisco IOS feature of resequencing.
In the following example in a Cisco router there is an access-list name ITKE
ASW2-02#sho access-lists ITKE
Extended IP access list ITKE
1 permit ip host 192.168.1.1 host 10.1.0.1
2 permit ip host 192.168.1.2 host 10.1.0.2
From the example if we need to add one more deny statement for the host 192.168.1, it's not possible to add a statement without deleting the current access list and create a new one. But the power of resequence allows you to assign a new set of sequence numbers to current access list as demonstrated below using the IOS command "ip access-list resequence"
ASW2-02#configure t
ASW2-02(config)#ip access-list resequence ITKE ?
<1-2147483647> Starting Sequence Number
ASW2-02(config)#ip access-list resequence ITKE 10 10
This starts the first entry with a sequence number of 10 and increments all new lines by 10. The result is as shown below
ASW2-02#sho ip access-lists ITKE
Extended IP access list ITKE
10 permit ip host 192.168.1.1 host 10.1.0.1
20 permit ip host 192.168.1.2 host 10.1.0.2
By resequencing the ACL now it's easy to inserts a new ACL with a sequence number of 15 which would fall between the existing entries in the ITKE access list.

text: on Mar 27, 2013 @ 8:30 AMMar 27, 2013 @ 8:30 AM Published Russia presses ahead with trial of dead lawyerRussian authorities went ahead Wednesday with the controversial posthumous trial of whistleblowing lawyer Sergei Magnitsky for tax evasion despite repeated protests by his family.Magnitsky's family and their lawyers have boycotted the trial, which had to be repeatedly adjourned, but the latest hearing finally got underway at a Moscow court with witnesses accusing Magnitsky of resorting to various schemes to avoid taxes.A black-clad guard at Moscow's Tverskoi district court stood not far from the symbolically empty defendant's cage with a bench inside, an AFP correspondent reported.Anastasia Gerasimova, a witness representing the Federal Tax Service, accused Magnitsky and his employer William Browder, who is being tried in absentia, of using controversial schemes to receive tax breaks.Their actions "inflicted damage on the budget at all its levels", Gerasimova, one of 39 prosecution witnesses in the case, said in court.She said Browder was illegally enjoying tax benefits given to companies which employ disabled people, claiming he created a sham company which employed two people with disabilities."They were registered as financial analysts but did not do any work," said Gerasimova, noting she did not know Magnitsky or Browder personally. "Instead of a salary they received a small compensation for being on the books of that firm."Another witness, Magnitsky's former colleague Konstantin Ponomaryov, said Magnitsky was initially against the scheme using disabled people but then began actively promoting it."I am very much disappointed with Magnitsky," said Ponomaryov, who in 1995-96 worked at Firestone Duncan, a legal consultancy for Browder's Hermitage Fund hedge fund."I used to know him as a highly skilled specialist. But after my departure from the company he did not come up with anything better (than those schemes)," Ponomaryov said.The trial kicked off last week after Russian investigators closed a probe into Magnitsky's death in 2009 aged 37, after he spent 11 months in squalid prisons, arguing there was no evidence of a crime.Magnitsky claimed to have uncovered a massive fraud by Russian state officials. But shortly afterwards he was himself charged with the same tax evasion crimes he had alleged.London-based Browder and Magnitsky's relatives say Magnitsky, who suffered from a range of illnesses, was deliberately denied treatment and was tortured."The trial in Moscow's Tverskoi district court desecrates the memory of my son," his mother was quoted as saying in a statement by the Hermitage Fund."By using this illegal process, those who did away with my son, those who him of freedom, health and life itself, now want to take away his honest name and sling mud at him after his death," Natalia Magnitskaya was quoted as saying."The current authorities need a legal document, a court ruling saying that my son is allegedly guilty of the crimes in which he was implicated when he was alive."Two lawyers appointed by the state to represent Magnitsky declined to comment on Wednesday."Every time you ask the same thing. We are tired of answering your questions," one of the defence lawyers, Nikolai Gerasimov, told reporters after Wednesday's hearing was adjourned until April 1.The Investigative Committee last week said it had closed a probe into his death after the only defendant on trial for medical negligence was acquitted.Last year, the United States adopted a law placing sanctions on Russian officials deemed to have been implicated in Magnitsky's death, while Russia hit back with a law banning US adoptions of Russian children.The trial comes amid signs that the Hermitage Fund, which is backed by banking giant HSBC, is winding down its operations.A spokesman for the bank told AFP that "the fund is not closed yet" but added that "the dealing and the determination of net asset value have been suspended since August 2012".Browder did not immediately respond to a request for comment.mp-as/sjw/vjf

She didn't know how to answer her mother, what did she know of babies? She herself was an only child so she had no knowledge of newborn babes since they were kept from view for the first two months of life. Looking down at the face of her newly born daughter, she gathered her thoughts before speaking.
"Maybe because she is born in the warmth of the sun instead of the dark of the night she looks so pale."
Her mother looked away at this statement knowing it was not true but tribal ethics forbid her from asking more. Turning to leave this small abode and letting the mother and child be together to bond, told her daughter to lie still and rest, food would be provided. As an afterthought, she told her she'd tell the new father of his daughter. She also told the young woman of the disease outside her door and warned her about letting anyone in her house. Then she left to go and prepare food for her daughter and to prepare food for newly created motherless homes. She was near exhaustion from tending to the ill and tending her daughter but she knew she must continue until these days of sadness passed. In a few days, her daughter would be strong enough to prepare her own food once more. Her young husband would not only hunt for her family but for his own. He was still forbidden from seeing his wife for until the bleeding stopped, she was still too powerful to be within his sight.
The newly made grandmother joined the women still able to walk for their morning ablutions but the laughter and joy was missing from the gathering while each talked of who'd died during that night of birth. For the first time the new grandmother felt her age, her bones aching with the untold duties that lay ahead. The women Shamans bore the brunt of the tending of the ill and so far few of them had died. But age old remedies no longer worked, the ceremonies to rid the body of demons no longer worked, and the herbs for the lowering of fevers no longer worked. All they could do was comfort and give hope. Every morning there was another cry of grief from some home. The disease progressed relentlessly.
In the little abode of joy, the new mother looked at her child's body and knew whose seed had found its way to the baby. What was she going to do now? Her daughter's fat little body squirmed to find again the nipple that gave her life; in her newborn search, she opened her eyes and briefly looked at her mother with milky-blue eyes. A small cry escaped her mother's lips and frightened the child. Both cried for a long time, one in guilt and the other from the startling. One was placated with food, the other with resolve.
Her daughter was the spawn of the stranger and she knew it, she also knew there were light-skinned children born of dark-skinned parents. These children became the shunned ones until they proved themselves worthy of acceptance. She would have to continue to claim innocence and just pretend this was one of the Creator's mysteries. She held her child close to her body and wept, not from grief, but from the joy that this perfect child, this child of light came from her body. She needed no time to bond, they were bonded together against the world for life. When her mother finally brought food for her to eat, the babe was covered in light blankets which made her skin seem darker. The child slept while mother and daughter talked about the future.
"My child, there is so much sickness outside your home that I fear you leaving this place. I've tended the ill but I wash before I come to you but I fear I will bring some hidden demon in here with me so I will place your food outside your door rather then bring it in here. leave the soiled tufts outside the door and I will bring you more each day. If you, or your child, become ill, cry out with a trill and I will come immediately. I fear for both of you because right now you are weak and the demon's prey upon the weak. I will say the prayers for both of you to keep you from harm."
"Mother, please keep yourself well! I hear the cries even in here and I'm afraid for you! Where did this all come from?" Knowing she asked a question, the woman dropped her eyes in supplication. Her mother answered without acknowledging the fact her daughter asked a direct question,
"Some say the stranger brought this illness." she said in weariness, "I don't know that for a fact, but the illness did strike after he was here among us. I've got to go now, do you remember Yellow Dawn? She started talking about the spirits visiting her, she talked of a child born of evil then she fell into the sleep of dying. Today her body is covered with the red spots of death. She is screaming for water to quench her thirst yet she cannot drink. She is dying and her young husband is sacrificing himself with the cutting. His arms are striped and so is his chest and legs. But his wife is slipping even as we speak, there is no hope. I must leave you now, I don't want to give you and my first grandchild this horrible disease!"
With that her mother got wearily to her feet and left for the last time, this small home of safety. Left alone once more the new mother gave into the thoughts within her head, the thoughts she'd tried to forget. I did this to my People, his desire of me brought him to our village! Why? Where did he see me? Was it during bathing time when I splashed water with the children? Was it during gathering time when I was with my family? Where? That one night of hurt and passion, that one night I knew was wrong, why did I let it happen? Now I have this child, this precious child and now this child has to pay for my unholy union.
The fright was real, if this became knowledge if they knew what happened, they would take she and her child out to the desert and destroy them both! She knew she had to keep this secret, she must protect her child. Were the stories true ? Her child was so fair and wonderful, there could be no evil within her, could there?
In the real world, the world beyond her dreams, the sun was casting its first shadows, its rays rising above the mountains painting the canyon in bright orange of rebirth. The storm of the night before became a memory and the day dawned with hope. The young woman and her child roused from their dreams. Tears stained the young mother's face when she awoke from her nightmares to a new day of brightness. The babe, unwilling to let go of the sleep protested slightly and gently drifted back into sweet slumber while her mother rose from their bed of straw and hardened earth. She looked at the ashes on the hearth and the sleeping form of her child and walked slowly out of the adobe. She hurried down the ladder to the ground below and quickly walked to the soothing waters of the small stream. She needed to shake off the dreams of the night to cope with the survival of the day.
Removing her clothing, she bathed herself clean missing the laughter that accompanied such activities in the past. Quickly she accomplished her mission and then set out for what used to be the corn fields in search of something to eat. Perhaps one or two stalks of corn lived long enough to grow enough corn to feed them. Amongst the rows of dead corn plants, she found her quest, a small patch of growing corn, dried yet there were ears ready for plucking. True, the ears were worm eaten, but there was enough for a small meal. She also observed a covey of land birds and made a mental note to construct a small lair; with any luck, she and her child would have meat for supper. She hurried back up the ladder to her child, afraid her child would try and wander in an unfamiliar space. In the light of day she saw the village much as it was when she left.
True, vines now grew but in the heat of the summer coming, the vines would die out and then the green would disappear. In the daylight the cliff homes didn't look as foreboding as they did at night. There was almost a comforting feeling to be back in familiar surroundings after she'd been gone for so long. Although it was only months, it seemed like years; she'd traveled so far and ridden on roads never seen before. Her journeys took her to places her People had never heard of, and seen People not unlike her own but with customs and languages very different from her own. In the short period of under a year, she was so alone, and she only met strangers. She then felt her own weariness, a part of herself that wanted to lie down not to get up again. But she had to live, she had a child; a child born out of coupling forbidden but a child who filled her life with joy.
She searched the village and gathered up pots and charcoal so they may stay dry and warm for this is the season of the cold wet. She listened for the sounds of her child's awakening, satisfied her child still slept, she continued her search for food. She went to the community's Kiva to search for any food stores left behind when the others left. She knew if strangers visited, they may have taken the food if they'd known what the round building sunk into the depths of the cliff meant. When she opened the doors of the cellar-like building, she was met with the dank, musty smell of disuse. As she climbed into its darkness, her eyes adjusted to its dimness and she could look around for something, anything to eat. She found a treasure trove, enough dried corn to carry her and her child through many weeks if they ate sparingly. When she satisfied herself of that fact, she climbed out of that place and hurried to her home.
She scrapped the corn off the cob and listened to its hard tatting as it hit the bottom of her grinding stone. She took up a found pestle and ground the corn with the wrist movements so often used in the past. Doing a familiar task and once the rhythm was established she took her eyes off her work and looked about the familiar surroundings. In the midst of her daydreams, she pictured the village alive as it was just a few short months ago. Children again ran and played in her mind, very young girls sat close to their mothers and mimicked the grinding motions with small rocks and little containers. Every so often without taking pause in their speech, the mother's would give these girls a morsel or two of corn to practice grinding. It was a thing done by all since the beginning of time. From this small practice, the children gained the strength and skills they'd need when they themselves had a family. When her grinding was complete, she took the flour and dipped in some water. She'd built a small fire earlier before she started grinding and laid in some flat rocks on which she'd cook the meal cakes. She kept a small amount of the flour coarser to make a thin gruel for her child. Her child was getting to the age of wanting food to eat and the gruel was thin enough for her to swallow; this with her breast milk would be her child's diet until old enough and with enough teeth to chew other foods. By now she heard the voice of her child cooing within her old home. she hurriedly rose and went to her. This child was so beautiful!
In the past few month she'd grown so much but was still baby enough to have the glow all baby's so at that age. She seldom cried but she had a solemn look in her eyes. She could also break out in an infectious laughter that rivaled the bubbling of the brook as it splashed over rocks in its hurry. Her eyes changed from blue but were a lighter shade of brown then her own; they were the color of the copper in the hills, her hair was black but not the black of a raven's wing, but the dark, dark brown of the earth deep within the forest. Her cheeks were a vivid pink and in her excitement would become pinker. Her hands were still baby-chubby and grasp at anything. She smiled with a four-tooth smile and you never knew until she bit you, that she cut through a tooth. Her skin was lighter then her own and she burned easily in the sun so her mother kept a thin coat of mud on her skin to protect it from the rays. The baby still unnamed was her mother's joy, her mother's only reason for life. She was unnamed because either everyone who needed to be at the naming was either dead or left in the great migration. This was the child born of an evil coupling yet loved because of that event.
After eating, both the mother and child played and wandered around the cliff homes, the child in great discovery and the mother searching for the tools for survival. Their searching left both ready for sleep since it had been a long journey and the sun ran across the sky in a hurry leaving the cliff dwelling bathed in early twilight. After they supped on their meager diet, they again curled on their bed of straw. The young mother again covered them both and they drifted off into a dreamless sleep, at least one did.
She was remembering the touch of her husband when she and the baby could finally leave their alone time. the look on his face when he gazed upon their child for the first time. he was pleased at the size of their child, she was a chubby baby, and then he noticed her strangely colored eyes; brown but still with flecks of blue. He noticed the color of the child's skin and he drew a breath inward, knowing this child could not be his. But if this child was not his, who's was it? Who'd lain with his wife before him? Who planted the seed within and robbed him of his own fatherhood. He turned abruptly and left the adobe, he left a broken hearted man knowing his wife had known another and instead of coming to him as a virginal woman, she came to him carrying another's seed. How could he stay?
