2 neg celiac blood tests, mine was also neg. No endo done. Son had x-ray, showing severe constipation. Son has latex allergy. KP for both of us.
Long family history of bowel problems, auto-immune and all sorts of cancers. My G-mother informed me that she was put on a gluten free diet after she had my mom (1950's), of course she stopped when she felt better. She has had problems ever since I can remember.
So here we are! I do have my son's Dr to thank for even bringing up celiac! Thank You Dr.B!
My adult daughter also has been helped by eating gluten-free.

You can eat anything for breakfast really. But leftover pasta or pork chops don't appeal to me.
Toast with peanut butter, sunflower seed butter or almond butter. PB&J sandwich. gluten-free waffles or pancakes with a nut butter.

Not everyone can eat steak or chicken for breakfast, so this is a nice alternative that is still meeting your dietary needs, yet is still kinda "breakfast-y"

Once a month, I toast brown rice in the oven on a jelly roll sheet. Then I run it through the coffee grinder (after I clean it out of course, I like coffee in the morning, just not IN my cereal). Then, each morning I mix 1/4 cup ground brown rice w/ 1 & 1/2 cups liquid (I use half milk half water, just because I like it) and nuke it at half power for 10 minutes. Mix a little gluten free vanilla, a teaspoon of sugar and I'm set. Two pounds of rice last me a whole month.

For breakfast, I would add some berries (frozen or fresh), or raisins and apple, some cinnamon, honey, and almond milk would make it nice and creamy, if you can find one without soy (I haven't yet, so if you have, let me know ).
Silk Pure Almond milk in the refrigerated case states on the carton it is soy-free and I haven't had any allergic reaction to it. Seems strange that Silk would be soy-free, but no eczema from it for me (my first soy symptom), so you might want to give it a try.

Buckwheat Pan- Flatcake
1 heaping tablespoon of ground up toasted buckwheat (kasha) kernels (use coffeegrinder or kitchen mortar. can also use gluten-free buckwheat flour. kasha tastes better)
1 heaping tablespoon of gluten free chickpea (garbanzo) flour
1 heaping tablespoon of potato starch
pinch of cream of tartar
pinch of salt
good sized pinch (about a quarter teasp.) of baking soda
spice to taste, optional. (cumin, cinnamon, cloves, curry, anise seed, caraway, grated orange peel - can be very versatile)
sweetener to taste, optional. I use a tiny glop of molasses and agave
pure apple cider vinegar, about a half teaspoon
olive oil, about a teaspoon
water, small amount
olive oil (or other) for frying in skillet. preheat oil in pan, carefully.
In a bowl, put the oil, vinegar, agave/molasses if using, and a tablespoon or two of water, and mix. Add the buckwheat first, and stir to soften, while you are measuring out the other ingredients. Then add them. Add enough water to make a thick pancake consistency, and stir well til blended. Pour batter into heated oiled pan. Cook until bottom is done, edges are drying, and bubbles are coming up thru, then flip and finish cooking.
The beauty of this is that, depending on how it is flavored and sweetened, or not, it can be used as a sandwich bread when cut in half, or as a pancake base, as gluten-free nan with Indian curry, or topped with anything. One of these topped with sliced banana is very filling for breakfast, for example. You could also add additional protein, such as a dairy free cheese or some nut butter. Hummus dip would also be good, as well as a bean/meat chile.

text: 0 Movies Back to article: The Amazing Spider-Man 2: Andrew Garfield returns in new images 0 Previous Next F - Bill Finger Born in Denver, Colorado in 1914, Milton "Bill" Finger co-created and developed Batman with Bob Kane but went unacknowledged for decades after Kane signed away ownership of the character in exchange for a mandatory byline. Kane later expressed regret that Finger - who died in 1974 aged 59 - didn't receive credit for his contribution to Batman. "Now that my long-time friend and collaborator is gone, I must admit that Bill never received the fame and recognition he deserved," he said in 1989. "He was an unsung hero… I often tell my wife, if I could go back 15 years, before he died, I would like to say. 'I'll put your name on it now. You deserve it.'" Finger was posthumously inducted into the comic industry's Jack Kirby Hall of Fame in 1994 and the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame in 1999. The Bill Finger Award is presented annually at the San Diego Comic-Con to honour excellence in comic book writing. In 2014 a Kickstarter-funded Finger documentary titled The Cape Creator will be released to coincide with the 100th anniversary of his birth. 6 of 26 Previous Next

Look to the future with Director of Energy Campaigns Gabe Wisniewski. Together we can take on big energy companies, make the switch to renewables, and stop climate change.
Video details
Avoiding the worst impacts of climate change requires a fundamental shift in the way we consume and generate energy. This shift should begin immediately and be well underway within the next ten years. The scale of the challenge requires a complete transformation of the way we produce, consume and distribute energy. Fortunately, we can meet this challenge while giving a boost to the economy, energy sector employment and energy security.
Climate change is a reality. Today, our world is hotter than it has been in two thousand years, and we are experiencing faster sea level rise and more extreme weather than scientists had previously predicted. By the end of the century, if current trends continue, the global temperature will likely climb higher than at any time in the past two million years. Read more.
It's not hard to see the result of our reliance on fossil fuels. The full impact of the BP Deepwater Horizon disaster may take a generation to reveal itself, but already hundreds of species of marine life have been affected, as have the communities that rely on the Gulf. Around the country, communities face devastating levels of water and air pollution as a result of coal burning power plants, which produce millions of tons of toxic sludge and smoke each year.
Fossil fuels also account for more than 80 percent of US global warming pollution. Global warming, if unchecked, threatens to fundamentally change the planet that has sustained our civilization. In the US, we're already seeing some of the effects—wildfires tearing through western states, devastating floods in the southeast, and historic droughts in the midwest. Read more.
With current technology, renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and geothermal can provide 96% of our electricity and 98% of our total heating demand — accounting for almost all of our primary energy demand.Investing in renewables could jumpstart our flagging economy, creating millions of jobs that can't be shipped overseas. It could put the US back at the forefront of the 21st century economy, in front of China, which in 2009 became the largest global investor in renewables. Read more.
In addition to advocating for solutions to global warming and climate change, we are doing our part to call out the work being done — often secretively — to block climate regulations and policies that would kickstart the clean energy revolution.Below are a few of the projects and resources we've created to try and remove roadblocks to progress on stopping global warming. Read more.
Climate change and global warming are a priority issue for us here at Greenpeace. We realized years ago that it has the potential to wipe out most of the gains the environmental movement has made in other areas. Disruptions to ecosystems will likely harm everything from minke whales to coral reefs to polar bears. Whole forests will be lost, and hundreds of thousands of species will become extinct. Read more.
Last night, over 20 NC State students interrupted Duke Energy CEO Lynn Good as she gave a "Leading with Energy" speech on campus. The students unfurled a banner that read "Duke Energy: Leading with dirty energy, blocking access to renewables"...

29 year old woman | Houston, TX, USA | Seeking men 26-36 within 50 miles
Nice girls finish last said no one ever.
Hmmmm let's see here...I'm about as laid back as they come. I can lay around at home, cook dinner and watch a movie, go fishing and get my hands a little dirty or get all dressed up and have a fun night out with my ladies. I can have fun doing just about anything as long as I have the right people around me. As long as I see everyone around me having a good time and smiling, I'm a happy girl. I'm very positive and tend to try and see the good in every single situation I'm presented with, both good and bad. I try to keep a smile on my face no matter what. I've come to learn that nothing seems to ever stay the same, the true test is how you roll with the punches. I moved here to Houston from Pennsylvania about 10 years ago when my Dad got a job transfer. My parents and my little brother moved back up there about a year and a half ago (I have no idea why, it's COLD up there!!!) and I stayed due to my job and the fact that I absolutley love this town and everything Texas :) I know I'm not a native Texan but I should at least hold an honorary status! I've worked in the Oil and Gas industry since I was 18, about 8 years now. During the week I like to lay pretty low, Running is my main stress relief and exercise and staying healthy is important to me. On the weekends I'm always out and about doing something. I'm a total summer girl and I LOVE the beach/laying out at the pool! I always feel right at home when I'm around a body of water. I love trying new restaurants and would describe myself as a bit of a foodie. I will try just about anything once, you don't know until you try right? I would like to find someone I have some common interests with obviously but more than that someone that I have a connection with. I don't know exactly what "type" of person I'm looking for (I believe that having a specific type seriously limits your opportunities) but I'm very confident I'm on the right track to finding them. Likes: Blue Bell Ice Cream - Coke Zero - Jalapenos - Sunshine - Running - Being tan - Art/Museums - Margaritas - Sunday afternoon naps - Astros Baseball - Steelers and Texans football - Happy people - Cheesy jokes - Making people smile - The smell of gasoline - Summertime. Dislikes: People that complain about insignificant things - Onions - Bad grammar (I'm not saying I'm perfect but if you don't know the difference between "their" and "there", don't talk to me) - Cold weather - Scary movies - Clowns - Laziness.

Astros baseball, Texans football, sushi...food in general, fishing, shopping, laughing, the beach, country music, reading, weekend trips, learning something new, being outside, lazy Sundays, cold beer, spending time with the people I love.
I know I'm a little late but I figured I'd finally read Harry Potter and see what all the fuss is about. I'm actually enjoying them and just finished book #2.

"Long-term therapy with beta-blockers is standard care for heart patients," Lanfear says. "Data from patients with acute myocardial infarction have shown that beta-blockers are generally effective. They are known to decrease the size of the infarct and seem to prolong survival, on average."
Recent research, however, reveals that variations in the beta-adrenergic receptor genes affect the benefit of beta-blockers in heart patients. Data indicate that variations of the genes influence such parameters as blood pressure response in hypertensive patients and heart function in heart failure patients.
"But this is the first time that anyone has shown that these genetic variations affect survival," McLeod says.
Humans have two types of beta-adrenergic receptors, beta-1 and beta-2. In this study, the researchers found no difference in survival associated with variations of the beta-1 gene. But variations in the beta-2 gene significantly determined length of survival for ACS patients who were taking beta-blockers. For those patients not taking beta-blockers, variations in the beta-adrenergic receptor genes showed no evidence of effect on survival, although small sample size makes this result uncertain.
The beta-2 gene commonly has two points of sequence variation within the human population--for most of the population, the gene's coding sequence will be identical from person to person at all other points. Thirty-nine percent of the population possess a set of beta-2 genes with a C base at position 79, and 16 percent possess at set of beta-2 genes with an A base at position 46.
In this study, ACS patients on beta-blockers with either of these two specific genetic variations constituted the high-risk group--by the end of three years, 20 percent of this group had died. By comparison, patients who had G bases at position 79 or 46 on both

It's Dallas by a touchdown
From 1993-95, the Cowboys and Packers met twice each season, once in a regular-season game, the other time in the playoffs. The Cowboys were home for all six games and won them all, throwing in another home win in 1996, a season after which Green Bay won the Super Bowl.
Both teams are 10-1, back at the top of the NFC as they meet tonight, with a potential home-field edge in the playoffs on the line. Of course it's at Texas Stadium.
Brett Favre, 0-8 there, remembers the past well against Cowboys teams that won three titles in four seasons.
"Each year I thought we progressively got a little bit better and we kept saying, 'OK, next year this is not going to happen.' But it did until we won the Super Bowl," he says. "We held in there and a couple of those games were pretty darn close and I thought the Dallas Cowboys were unbeatable those years, and they really were."
The Cowboys are not quite unbeatable this season, but their only loss is to the NFL's unbeaten team, New England. Green Bay's only loss is more mundane -- to 5-6 Chicago.
So Dallas is a 7-point favorite, a fitting spread. ... COWBOYS, 24-20
ON Sunday
Jacksonville (plus 7) at Indianapolis
The Jaguars can tie the Colts for the AFC South lead. Marvin Harrison's availability is still a question.
Buffalo (plus 5.5) at Washington
It's hard to tell how Sean Taylor's death affects Washington. REDSKINS, 24-10
Cincinnati (plus 7.5) at Pittsburgh
It might take six days to get Heinz Field in shape.
New York Giants (minus 1.5) at Chicago
The Giants have to kick away from Devin Hester, and Eli Manning and Rex Grossman have to throw it to their own guys. None of the above. BEARS, 30-29.
Tampa Bay (plus 3) at New Orleans
A must for the Saints if they want a chance to win the NFC South. SAINTS, 20-16
Seattle (plus 3) at Philadelphia
If Philadelphia plays close to the way it played in New England ... EAGLES, 28-24
Detroit (plus 3) at Minnesota
The Lions have lost two straight at home and are awful on the road. Free fall. VIKINGS, 19-12
New York Jets (plus 1) at Miami
Yes, winless Miami is favored. DOLPHINS, 5-3
San Diego (minus 4.5) at Kansas City
If the Chargers are back on track, they win easily.
If not ... CHARGERS, 24-20
Cleveland (pick 'em) at Arizona
A lot of points are very likely. BROWNS, 35-34
Houston (plus 3.5) at Tennessee
Never mind Vince Young's struggles, the Titans are 0-3 without Albert Haynesworth. Maybe he plays. Or not. TEXANS, 20-17
Denver (minus 3.5) at Oakland
Devin Hester doesn't play for the Raiders.
San Francisco (plus 3) at Carolina
First home win for the Panthers. PANTHERS, 16-10
Atlanta (off) at St. Louis
"Off" is Marc Bulger's health. RAMS, 31-20
On Monday
New England (minus 20) at Baltimore
Don't expect another close game for New England.
this season
LAST WEEK: 6-10 (spread); 11-5 (straight up)
SEASON: 85-83-8 (spread); 113-63 (straight up)
Lost against the spread but won straight up in Saskatchewan's 23-19 win over Winnipeg in Grey Cup. Pick was Saskatchewan 13-1.

ABC's Christmas-Themed SHARK TANK Beats Competition
During the 8 o'clock hour against NBC's The Voice and CBS' Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, ABC's special Christmas-themed Shark Tank beat out Fox's comedies by wide margins (Raising Hope/Ben & Kate), leading by 3.7 million viewers and by 31% in Adults 18-49. Despite facing The Voice in the hour, ABC's Shark Tank pulled in its 2nd-largest-ever audience for a regular telecast.
Returning to the 9pm half-hour after the prior week's preemption, ABC's Happy Endings jumped 18% in Adults 18-49 and 22% in Adults 18-34 over its 2-week-ago telecast. In fact the ABC comedy equaled its best Adult 18-49 rating since its season premiere - since 10/23/12.
In the 9:30pm half-hour, ABC's Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 spiked over its most-recent airing by 33% in Adults 18-49 and by 100% in Adults 18-34, marking best-since-premiere numbers on both counts - since 10/23/12.
Building its overall audience (+5%) for its 2nd straight airing in Tuesday's 10pm hour, ABC's Private Practice generated its most-watched telecast in 6 weeks - since 10/23/12.

The Tampa Bay Lightning have traded forward Carter Ashton to the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for defenseman Keith Aulis. Aulie appeared in 17 games for the Maple Leafs this season and had two assists. In 57 games over two NHL seasons, the 22-year-old has two goals and four career points. Lightning general manager Steve Yzerman announced the deal before Monday's NHL trade deadline. In other moves, Tampa Bay acquired defenseman Mike Commodore from Detroit in exchange for a conditional seventh-round pick in 2013 and obtained defenseman Brian Lee from Ottawa in a trade that sent defenseman Matt Gilroy to the Senators.

I have Hexagon and used it a little bit. Nice software, free Is fun. Anyway, for modeling i use Moi 3d, nurbs modeler. Very easy to use compare to Hex.
Hex could be better with some updates but that never happen.
Hex is the modeling that Carrara need. Daz could do a nice Version 3 but like Bryce, When Daz acquired it, was fixed bugs then stayed at 2.5 for too many years.
If Daz would improve every software they have, it would be great, might even get more people.
because of lack of update I decided to keep hex shelved. If Moi 3d is not enough, I use Cinema 4D Prime. Basic version but does what it need to do., Yes I kept money to at least get a nice piece of software.
But even with that, I use carrara because it offers more for less and Hex could be the same, it is not heavy like the other well known but its cheaper and still can do alot.
Don't forget, it is how you use the software and not the other way around. Just look at Blender or stuff showing on this web site, Daz. I have seen renders make carrara that are amazing and modeling too.

45 year old woman | Middletown, CT, USA | Seeking men 40-54 within 50 miles
My heroes have always been cowboys,
I love my friends, my family, my dog, my cat, my church, my job, the Longhorns and baseball (though interleague play is a sign of the apocalypse). I am a lucky girl with a good life. Like anyone I like to have fun. I enjoy a night out and like a good dive or a white tablecloth place in equal measure. A night in with a nice bottle of wine is also very appealing. I love to cook and am pretty good at it. Hiking, long drives to new places, spending time at the shore, board games and good conversations are all favorite pastimes. One of my favorite ways to spend a day is wandering around New York City. I am up for trying new things and new places, just lead the way. I would really like to find someone to go hiking with and explore the state parks. I try to be up to date on important issues and pay attention to what is going on in the world. But I find myself fascinated with low brow stuff too. I lean progressive and would probably find it difficult to date someone who was on the far right of the political spectrum. I read a great deal; my favorites include Sarah Vowell and David McCullough along with David Sedaris, Robert Parker, Mary Karr and Anne Lamott. I love "A Prayer for Owen Meany". A good portion of my reading is history and biography. Currently reading the Caro biography of LBJ along with some books about the Civil War and the nineteenth century in general. I can be plenty spirited, opinionated and irreverent, but I hope I am open-minded and generous. I am probably a little bit old fashioned, but never stuffy. I like to think that I am smart and funny. I know I am extremely loyal, fun and a great friend. I am dedicated to work but not at the expense of family and friends. I moved to Connecticut from Texas a few years ago. I miss Texas, but am enjoying exploring New England. It would be great to do that with someone. Ideally I would like to meet a guy who is smart, kind, funny, decent and good looking. Good manners go a long, long way. Someone who has a suit and wears it when it is appropriate. A guy who wants a girl who is attractive but also smart. I appreciate a person who uses spell check, knows a little bit about capitalization and who doesn't think "lol" is an effective communication tool. I am looking for regular, standard issue type guy, around my age, by which I mean a few years on either side. I am well educated and intelligent and value both of these qualities in a friend. My pictures are current and I would be grateful if you extended the same courtesy. Translated, this means that those without pictures should not anticipate a reply. Neither should gentlemen well into their fifties and sixties, even those who have misidentified their age in their profile.

Taylor Swift covers EW, thinks lyrics are still mysterious
It's a far cry from her usual style, but we're actually kind of enjoying Taylor Swift's menswear plus top hat look on the cover of Entertainment Weekly.
Tay Tay has been named the mag's 2010 Entertainer of the Year, and for good reason. Shall we recap?
She got a jump-start on the year with a hit single (one of our favorites, "Today was a Fairytale"), a big screen debut in the star-studded "Valentine's Day," followed up by four Grammy Awards. Tack on a headlining tour, countless award shows and a new record -- you've got yourself a big year, girl.
Her latest album, "Speak Now," sold over 1 million copies in its first week. Propelled by "Mine," the heartwarming radio hit that we can't stop singing, her third record has sold more copies than any other release over the past five years.
Regarding her love life and the impact it has on her music, Swift tells EW "Sometimes I would laugh because I would see it in print and it would say, 'This song, which is about her ex, so-and-so...' And they would write about it as if it were fact. The fact is, I haven't ever confirmed that any song is about any particular person."
She continues, "As far as I'm concerned, it's all still up in the air."
Fair enough. We can support that her thinly veiled lyrics have never been officially confirmed, but we're not
dumb clueless either. For as close of a watch we keep on this girl's love life, lyrics such as "I go back to December all the time. These days, I haven't been sleeping. Staying up, playing back myself leaving. When your birthday passed, and I didn't call" throw up a red flag.
Taylor Lautner's birthday is Feb. 11, by the way.
How about her song "Better than Revenge," with lyrics "I had it all, I had him right where I wanted him. She came along, got him alone, and let's hear the applause. She took him faster than you can say sabotage."
It continues, "She's not a saint and she's not what you think. She's an actress... She's better known for the things that she does on the mattress."
After breaking up with Taylor, Joe Jonas went on to date (actress) Camilla Belle. But that can't be right, because Joe wears a purity ring. So we're probably mistaken about that mattress line.
But Taylor, sweetie. When you put the name John (as in John Mayer) in the title of your song, it does lose a bit of its mystery.
"You'll add my name to your long list of traitors who don't understand, and I'll look back and regret how I ignored when they said 'run as fast as you can.'"
Right, 'cause that leaves a lot to the imagination.
Regardless of whom her songs are about, we will continue to sing every word faithfully for as long as she makes music. Because she knows just the way to sing to our little tween heart (trapped in a 20-something's body).
Taylor's EW cover hits stands Friday, Dec. 3.

Email notification for failed backups are stopped
Hi All,
Please help me to configure email notification for failure backups...
i was getting before now the reports are stopped.
Please help me to identify the issue.. and let me know how to configure the email alerts for failure backups in linux master server.
Netbackup: 6.5.5
Master/Media server installed in Red Hat Linux
Comments 9 Comments • Jump to latest comment
You will need to check if sendmail is setup/configured correctly on your server.
Here is a good check list : http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH24513 http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH64984 , http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO14638
If you still have an issue, upload your nbmail.cmd
Those Windows TechNotes probably won't help the OP who said it's a Linux master server.
Try some test messages from your master. Does non-NetBackup email from that server to your recipients go through and get received?
Do you see any sendmail logs in /var/log/syslog? Or perhaps you a separate /var/log/mail.log set up? (You'd have to check syslog.conf to be sure what's logged and where.)
Are you sure sendmail is running? If you try to telnet on the SMTP port, do you get a response or a connection refused?
ps -ef | grep sendmail
telnet localhost 25
Or are you using a different server? (What does "changing the smtp server" mean?) From the master, can you try a telnet to port 25 of what you expect your SMTP server to be and see if THAT works? (If you connect, you can type "QUIT" to drop the connection.)
Unfortunately, these problems are not usually "NetBackup" problems. You will have to figure out what's different - what's changed between the time you were getting the emails and now.
Changing the SMTP server in the sense, old SMTP server XXX has been changed to new SMTP server YYY now. SErver names are different not sure the ip has been changed or not.
TELNET is successfully to the new SMTP server YYY, it is getting connected.
ps -ef | grep sendmail
root 4726 1 0 2010 ? 00:00:04 sendmail: accepting connections
smmsp 4736 1 0 2010 ? 00:00:00 sendmail: Queue runner@01:00:00 for /var/spool/clientmqueue
root 26897 26132 0 17:33 pts/2 00:00:00 grep sendmail
My apologies, missed the Master server Lunix. Here is a tech note specific to Unix and list the different methods . Depending on which one you are using will determine which direction to go to troubleshoot. http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH32539
http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH64984 has helpful chart at the bottom which lists the results of where the email is set up .
Could you elaborate which method you are using and where email is set ?
You didn't tell us whether non-NetBackup mail originating from your master was getting delivered. Try sending a test email from your master - if you can use sendmail, you can try debug mode with the -v command line switch and your intended recipient in place of my bogus address:
master.com # sendmail -v -t email@example.com Subject: Tets test . firstname.lastname@example.com... Connecting to [127.0.0.1] port 587 via relay... 220 master.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.14.5/8.14.5 Tue, 21 May 2013 15:36:37 -0500 >>> EHLO master.com 250-master.com Hello localhost [127.0.0.1], pleased to meet you 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES 250-PIPELINING 250-EXPN 250-VERB 250-8BITMIME 250-SIZE 250-DSN 250-DELIVERBY 250 HELP >>> VERB 250 2.0.0 Verbose mode >>> MAIL From:<email@example.com> SIZE=20 250 2.1.0 <firstname.lastname@example.com>...

(Looks like I can't spell :) )
This one worked, but hopefully, yours will fail, providing some interesting clues you can share with us to assist with troubleshooting.

PASADENA, Calif.If one is good, two can sometimes be better. Researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have certainly found this to be the case when it comes to a small HIV-fighting protein.
The protein, called cyanovirin-N (CV-N), is produced by a type of blue-green algae and has gained attention for its ability to ward off several diseases caused by viruses, including HIV and influenza. Now Caltech researchers have found that a relatively simple engineering technique can boost the protein's battling prowess.
"By linking two cyanovirins, we were able to make significantly more potent HIV-fighting molecules," says Jennifer Keeffe, a staff scientist at Caltech and first author of a new paper describing the study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). "One of our linked molecules was 18 times more effective at preventing infection than the naturally occurring, single protein."
The team's linked pairs, or dimers, were able to neutralize all 33 subtypes of HIV that they were tested against. The researchers also found the most successful dimer to be similar or more potent than seven well-studied anti-HIV antibodies that are known to be broadly neutralizing.
CV-N binds well to certain carbohydrates, such as the kind found in high quantities connected to the proteins on the envelope that surrounds the HIV virus. Once attached, CV-N prevents a virus from infecting cells, although the mechanism by which it accomplishes this is not well understood.
What is known is that each CV-N protein has two binding sites where it can bind to a carbohydrate and that both sites are needed to neutralize HIV.
Once the Caltech researchers had linked two CV-Ns together, they wanted to know if the enhanced ability of their engineered dimers to ward off HIV was related to the availability of additional binding sites. So they engineered another version of the dimersthis time with one o

The Facts about Arizona's Water Supplies
By Pamela Pickard, President, Board of Directors, Central Arizona Project
On June 17, the New York Times published a story under the headline "Arizona Cities Could Face Cutbacks in Water From Colorado River, Officials Say." The Times' story stated that deliveries of Central Arizona Project water to cities such as Phoenix and Tucson could be reduced as early as 2019 and that Arizona was just now considering the prospects of such a shortage. Neither statement is accurate. Here are the facts.
First, CAP shortages are not expected to impact Arizona cities for at least 10 to 15 years. That is because cities hold the highest priority within the CAP system and so would be among the last to be cut during shortage. Guidelines adopted by the Secretary of the Interior in 2007 quantify the reductions to the CAP supply at various elevations in Lake Mead. The maximum reduction to CAP under the 2007 Guidelines is 480,000 acre-feet, which would still leave CAP 1 million acre-feet or more to deliver each year. That is enough to satisfy all CAP municipal demands—and high-priority Indian deliveries—for many years to come (those uses currently total less than 800,000 acre-feet).
Secondly, CAP is likely to experience shortage by 2017, but that shortage will primarily affect central Arizona agriculture, which is already preparing for planned reductions in their CAP supplies. Cities could see an increase in the cost of CAP water at that time, but their water deliveries will not be reduced.
Finally, Arizona has long been aware that future Colorado River shortages will impact CAP deliveries to cities and other municipal water providers. That is why the Arizona Water Banking Authority (AWBA) was created in 1995. For almost two decades now, the AWBA has been storing excess Colorado River water in underground aquifers to provide a backup supply that can be called upon when CAP deliveries to Arizona cities are reduced. To date, AWBA has stored more than three million acre-feet in central Arizona for just that purpose. And over the past several years, CAP and other Arizona interests have developed plans to recover that stored water.
Arizona has been planning for future CAP shortages for decades and is well prepared to deal with that eventuality. Arizona is also working with the other Colorado River Basin States and the federal government to improve the reliability and sustainability of this vital water supply in the face of ongoing drought.

Planned marriage FAIL: You may now kiss your daughter!?
A Mauritanian man from the capital Nouakchott got the surprise of his life upon meeting a potential bride to be.
As he went to ask for a woman's hand in marriage, a woman he had not previously met, he found that the woman in question was his own daughter, reported Al Hurriya newspaper.
How does something like this happen?!
As it is told, the 35-year-old potential bride was in Nouakchott for a training course during which time she was to be hosted at a relative's home.
The family was a bit surprised when they received a phone call from a man asking for the woman's hand in marriage but they proceeded to be open to possible arrangements.
They called her family, who live in a village outside of the capital and a date was set for the man to visit and check out his bride.
On Nov 16, the man arrived at the woman's family home with two of his relatives. Once he got inside, he received the shock of his life.
Standing there was a woman he had married over 35 years ago and since divorced. However, also standing there was the woman he was planning to marry, his daughter!
