Modulation of the inflammatory response
Inflammation is the body's response to injury. Failure to properly regulate the inflammatory response contributes to a variety of human diseases including systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), Sepsis, and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). Our lab is focused on identifying genes involved in the modulation of the inflammatory response. Using multiple strains of mice and knock out mice, we utilize an established model to induce septic shock. We can then observe numerous phenotypic differences between the strains such as plasma cytokine levels and organ neutrophil infiltration.

I don't know where I can post this type of question so if I choose the wrong section please move it.

I have a slow pc and it isn't the best to paint,so I would find a "light program".

The Journal Sentinel business department follows developments in the local retail industry
Piggly Wiggly to take over two Sentry supermarkets
Sentry food stores in West Allis and Menomonee Falls will become Piggly Wiggly supermarkets.
The stores, owned by Ted and Joan Majdecki, will make the switch August 23.
Ted Majdecki said increasing competition in the already tough grocery business was driving his move from Sentry, whose store count has been ebbing, to the larger Piggly Wiggly chain.
"We feel they're a little better wholesaler at this point at 98 stores strong, and at Sentry we're down to 26," he said. "I hope the future for Sentry's fine. They're all friends of mine. But it was a business decision we had to make with sadness and regret."
The Majdecki's have owned the West Allis store for 11 years and the Menomonee Falls location for eight.
They will retain the West Allis supermarket, 10282 W. National Ave., as Piggly Wiggly franchisees. Piggly Wiggly is buying the Menomonee Falls store, N81 W15182 Appleton Ave. and will franchise it to Don and Jill Peiffer.
Both Peiffers work at the supermarket, where Don Peiffer is store manager.
Piggly Wiggly, based in Sheboygan, has stores in Wisconsin and northern Illinois. Besides the Piggly Wiggly brand, the chain supplies nine Butera Market stores, two Euro Fresh stores in greater Chicago and three Lena's Food supermarkets in Milwaukee.
All supermarkets in the Milwaukee area have faced stiffer competition as Wal-Mart expands its grocery operations and Woodman's opens stores here.

Prospal Signs 1-Year Extension
Am I the only one surprised by this re-signing?? I like Vinny, but I was sure he'd be part of the sell-off at the deadline.
Link from Blue Jackets website:
Prospal Extended 2.5 Mil
Just saw it on the mains. Great deal
Scott Howson
I am pleased to announce that we have signed Vinny Prospal to a 1 year contract extension.
Oh my, that is a very surprising development.
I like it but confused at the same time. Maybe Vinny wants more stability for his family than a cup run?
As awful as it would but is he worth more at the end of the month now?
Wow; I wasn't expecting that. At all. Not even a little.
Really surprised at this, happily surprised. But that said seems to be an indicator that we are going to stand pat at the deadline (No Nash or Carter trades) or we are going full rebuild and want Prospal to teach the kids. Not sure which one I prefer...
I am stunned.
I am ecstatic. :yo:
The fact that he was likely going to be dealt and, instead, volunteered to stay with the team, is remarkable & says a lot about him. Tie that in with the influence he's had on other players (Dorsett especially, who has said several times that he's upped his game by watching Vinny play), and we've got a damn quality piece that will stick around for at least a year.
Welcome back, Vinny. Thank you.
This one has me scratching my head.. We could have always pulled a Dougie Weight and re-signed him after the year and took the assets, so that you could give Prospal a chance at the Cup.
Very strange.
Prospal must have not wanted to deal with FA more than he wanted the playoffs this year (and quite likely next).
Maybe it is a move to begin to change the culture. Prospal is obviously a guy that we need in there. We likely would have only got a 2nd round pick for him.
Very interesting for so many reasons.
My first thought... Wow. I can't believe he would want to re-sign here.
Then I thought... Wait, maybe a potential trade partner wanted him signed through next season as part of the deal. :sarcasm:
Either way, good for him.
Whether he stays or goes, I wish him the best going forward in his career.
EDIT*** After seeing more information come out... no-trade clause, and the gentlemen's agreement... Prospal = classy guy. Welcome to Columbus for the stay.
From Portzline's twiiter... "Prospal's deal also includes a "gentleman's agreement" w #CBJ. He'll keep signing 1-year deals through the rest of his career, then take on a position with the organization. "His value goes way beyond the points," GM Scott Howson tell Dispatch."
Wow. :yo:
Didn't see this one coming.
Maybe he thinks the team is closer to contending than most of us think?
Prospal's family is happy in Columbus from my understanding.
Mixed emotions on this one. Would have liked to get a prospect and worry about bringing him back in the off-season. But, if the team does go "nuclear" he's the sort of guy you want mentoring younger players.
If the Jackets take the "nuclear" route between now and next season, it's imperative to have some vets on the team who are positive role models on and off the ice and can show the younger players what it takes to win at this level. I view Prospal as one of those guys. We might find out over the next few weeks and months who might not be viewed in that light in the eyes of the org.
I have to think that Prospal asked for this.
And if a player like Prospal asked for an extension of the same value. I think you have to give it to me. Especially given the year the team has had and the year he has had.
From a family viewpoint. He was looking at being traded to a team he doesn't know and then the uncertainty of being a UFA. Somethings are more important than the cup.
Great!!! :yo:
That is huge, great for the Jackets going forward.
No trade clause included. He definitely asked for this extension.
Good sign for CBJ.
I love that he's sticking around, good character guy, but in our current affairs I would have loved to get a decent prospect or pick for him. It's nice to have him back though.
Seems like a stretch, but give Prospal the C and trading Nash and Carter before the deadline? I feel like keeping him is a sign that something big might happen.
"@Aportzline: #CBJ RW Vinny Prospal's extension is worth $2.5 million, and includes a no-trade clause."
Purely a move to keep the good nature in the room. He's perfect for the retool with new players and our guys will look up to him. Nash C Umberger and Prospal split the
Seriously, I'll be glad to have him back (though his play has slowed considerably, in recent games).
A "position within the organization" for Prospal?
Don't let the door hit ya where the lord split ya Priest.
Vinny!!! Hell yes!!!

Vero Beach, Teamsters union reach stalemate over proposed salary increases
VERO BEACH — The city has reached a stalemate with its employees represented by the Teamsters Local Union 769, which represents most of the city's salaried employees outside of the Police Department.
City Manager Jim O'Connor said the city offered a 2 1/2 percent increase, but union representatives were seeking a 5 percent raise this budget year and the next one. Union representatives also wanted restoration of the longevity increases employees would have received over the past few years if not for the wage freeze that has been in place.
The city is also seeking changes in the employees' pension and benefit programs, which would limit the city's exposure to risk. Employees, however, may pay more and face more exposure to risk under the changes.
As a result of the stalemate, a special magistrate will be appointed to make a recommendation after listening to both sides. The City Council will make the final decision after hearing the recommendation.
The city earlier reached an agreement with the Police Department calling for increases that varied by seniority, but averaged out to about 2 1/2 percent.
The increases given to the police will cost the city about $64,000 a year. The increases the city proposed giving to the other employees would cost the city another $98,000, said O'Connor.
The money would come from the city's unallocated fund balance for this year of $227,000. The city also had general fund reserves of $8.5 million as of Sept. 30, but O'Connor did not want to dip into this money, which could be needed for emergencies.

The restaurant was awful, coconut shrimp started like cardboard, chickem taste like fish at steamboat and the barista gave small portions of starbucks....be prepared to wait to eAt during any season
Was pleasantly surprised that the room had a kitchenette complete with full sized fridge, stove and oven. Looking forward to going back.
Room was great
Lack of attention to morning coffee stand out of creamers not replaced, parking a problem with M/C taking one spot instead of sharing a spot.
Staff was helpful.
They do not have any type of breakfast and that is important with young children.
Not the fanciest place but it was nice for a brief overnight stay. Close to the ski slopes and a free bus ride away from the downtown hub of Steamboat.
The accommodations were clean comfortable and what we needed. The staff was friendly and on top of things, the breakfast had the waffle maker and everything appeared well kept. It's not a resort type of place, but a solid value when you don't need all the extras.
The Staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a person in the next room talking very loudly on their phone at 11:30 at night. I called the front desk and asked it they would please help us out and within 10 minutes "Problem solved" and we were back to sleep. We also liked the continental breakfast, that really helps out families on a budget. The Old town hot springs is right across the Street from Rabbit Ears, and our Motel had all day passes at a great discount. We will be back and stay there again, thank you.
Very clean. Staff was helpful, and we enjoyed having a continental breakfast.
no pool
Staff was best I have encountered in years--friendly, helpful, went out of their way to make our stay great. Good breakfast. Room very nice and clean.
The staff was really nice and attentive. It was cool that even though we chose not to have our room made up between nights they left a little basket of more towels and toiletries.
Very nice and helpful staff. Clean and quiet with convenient location. Easy parking.
Fine but word to the wise that the shower was small and more shelving in the bathroom would be helpful Room is small but nice.
Rooms are really small. I felt like there was not much privacy
Great bed and I liked the free buffet
Hot tub was to small
King bed was crazy comfy, almost missed first chair. Free breakfast was surprisingly good. Staff was awesome.
Pool and spa area could use a remodel for sure.
Great location.
Wifi was spotty at best in an area where cell coverage is the same.
Free breakfast and very friendly staff.
The decor in the room was dated. They had a tube TV and a VHS player.
The Nordic Lodge was an extermely good value. Very clean, courteous
Staff, generous contiental breakfast, rockstar location steps from free bus stop and restaruants. Definitely will stay here again.
Heat not on when we arrived but it warmed up quickly;I understand why this was done and had no problem with it
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.

Breastfeeding Laws Across the U.S. By Rebekah Curtis. For Babble.com.
Why the new pro-breastfeeding laws may actually limit women's rights. by Rebekah Curtis
May 18, 2009
Modern breastfeeding requires a lot more than breasts. There are the bizarre pillows and complicated clothes we must purchase, the machines we're not supposed to find terrifying and BPA-free receptacles for what the machines extract, the leagues and coalitions for us to join. And then there are the parties in the mommy-blog comments we're expected to attend whenever our congressional representatives pass another law about all of it.
Well, why not? Isn't it great that breastfeeding is going mainstream, that people are finally noticing nursing? Aside from the fact that many of us would rather not be noticed when we're feeding the baby, breastfeeding has been going mainstream for over fifty years. But it's only in the last fifteen years that politicians have seen fit to get involved, when the state of Florida decriminalized public breastfeeding.
Right, decriminalized. Prior to 1993, breastfeeding in the sunshine in the Sunshine State may have been unnatural, lewd, lascivious, exposure of sexual organs, child sexual abuse, and/or harmful to minors. You can take your pick, because all the legislature did was state that as of the passage of the bill into law, public breastfeeding could not be prosecuted as any of those things. What a relief! Mothers back in '92 couldn't be sure if they were feeding their kids or molesting them.
There was a time in this country when a nursing mother could be ticketed for indecency while nursing her baby in her own parked car, but was it 1993 (or, in the case of unenlightened Massachusetts, last December)? American breastfeeding rates among mothers of newborns more than doubled between the founding of La Leche League in 1956, when they were around 20%, and 1990, when they were near 50%, even recovering from a decline throughout the '70s. Somehow, breastfeeding propagated itself during that time without any laws saying it was okay.
Florida's 1993 law inspired other legislatures. By now, most states have laws affirming that women either have a positive right to breastfeed in public, or cannot to be prosecuted for indecency if they do. State representatives love nothing more than feel-good, risk-free laws guaranteed to win them points with special interest groups. Public breastfeeding laws easily fit into this category, especially when laws claiming to protect public breastfeeding include no enforcement provision (most don't). And maybe we could just let the politicians have their fun if several states hadn't seen fit to improve on nature.
For example, here's the how the Missouri state legislature went about protecting public breastfeeding: A mother may, with as much discretion as possible, breastfeed her child in any public or private location where the mother is otherwise authorized to be. (R.S.Mo. 191.918) Print out this card for the next time you're publicly breastfeeding in Missouri and someone hassles you about it. Go on, educate that benighted soul. Wait – she says you're not using as much discretion as possible? Well, who's to say which of you is right?
Thanks a lot, Missouri. I hope this law included funding to cover my Motherwear and Bebe au Lait bills. Will that be enough discretion? Maybe we should just go sit in the bathroom. It's a public bathroom, so I'm allowed to nurse the baby there. With as much discretion as possible, obviously. The North Dakota state legislature, following Missouri's lead, has a bill in the works which would ostensibly protect nursing in public as long as mothers "act in a discreet and modest manner." (Georgia's 1999 public breastfeeding law also included a "discreet and modest" provision, but a 2002 amendment struck the language.)

Running back Ryan Mathews, drafted 12th overall in 2010, has played in all 15 games for the Chargers this season. / Kirby Lee, USA TODAY Sports
SAN DIEGO (AP) - Chargers rookie coach Mike McCoy expects running back Ryan Mathews to play against the Kansas City Chiefs despite missing practice Wednesday because of an injured left ankle.
"It's as simple as that," McCoy said.
Mathews wore a walking boot to protect his ankle Wednesday. He has played in all 15 games despite leaving one game with a concussion and two others with a hamstring injury.
"There's a big difference between being injured and being hurt," Mathews said. "I'm just trying to work hard and be there for my teammates, and that's all that matters, being there for my teammates."
For Mathews, drafted 12th overall in 2010, it would be his first season without missing a game. He has rushed for a career-high 1,111 yards in helping the Chargers (8-7) stay in playoff contention.
"I try to be as good as I can be for the linemen up front," he said. "They block their tails off."
Mathews was hurt during a 26-13 victory over the Oakland Raiders on Sunday. He ran for 99 yards and a touchdown. He left in the second half but briefly returned to the game.
"He's doing fine," McCoy said. "He'll be ready. He's got a great frame of mind right now. I'm looking forward to him having another big game."
The Chargers remain a long-shot to earn the AFC's No. 2 wild-card berth. They need to beat the Chiefs and have Miami and Baltimore both lose or both tie. San Diego also can get in if it ties Kansas City and the Dolphins and Ravens both lose.

We have a few rules here on HL that are there to protect our younger players from being preyed upon by our older ones. However, it really is up to YOU as a player to ensure that you stay safe and free from harm.
Personal Info. PLEASE do not give out your personal info such as home address, home OR cell phone number, email address or even a messenger contact info(AIM, YIM, MSN) UNLESS you really, truly know the person. Even giving out your real name can be dangerous, so please limit that to ONLY your first name if you feel the need to share that information. Ask Danilo about how even just a name can lead to someone finding out where you live, if you don't believe me.
Online Relationships. I realize that meeting new people and making new friends is what attracts most people to the net. I too think it's great that we are able to meet so many different people from all around the world. But with that said, not everyone has the same intentions and/or feelings. There are many people out there who, to put it bluntly, just like to rack up the score with how many people they can...er..score with.
It is VERY easy to lie online and to be lied to. Finding love online is not as easy as some may think. Although it IS possible to find that love of your life (Edmund and Serenity ;)), not everyone is actually looking. As I said, it is up to YOU to protect yourself. Someone claiming that they love you after chatting a few times, or telling you that you are the only one, is probably really not true. Please don't get caught up too much in the fantasy part of many sites.
The LAW.Anyone 18 years old and older is considered an adult and it is illegal for them to "be with" anyone under the age of 18. Even though nothing sexual is supposed to be happening on the site anyway, we realize that we really have no way to stop it when it's done in private, i.e. OWLS. HOWEVER, we CAN and DO monitor owls so be warned.
ANYONE over the age of 18 that is caught doing ANYTHING inappropriate with a minor WILL be permanently banned. Not only that, but Danilo can and will contact your ISP to let them know what you do online so they can alert the proper authorities. Even using this site as a fishing hole and taking it off-site can be cause for a ban if we hear about it.
Again, please use common sense when forming online relationships and in your interactions with other people. Not just here but any site you visit.
Thank you.

House Tree Contest
As I'm sure you all have noticed by now, there is a Holiday Tree in each House's Common Room. Players can go to their Common Room and help decorate it by using forest fights, gold and/or gems. You can check to see who has the biggest, sparkliest, twinkliest tree in every village, right above the chat. The House with the best tree at the end of the year will earn the House buff for the entire month of January. The winning House will be announced sometime after midnight (as soon as we can).
Good luck!
Congratulations to Slytherin for winning the Holiday Tree Contest! They will enjoy the House Buff for the whole month of January!
No One is Hacking Accounts & Account Sharing
There is no one hacking HL accounts or your IP addresses despite what a player trying to cause panic may be telling you. Their situation was caused by account sharing.
I'd like to take this time to remind you of the risks of sharing accounts with other players.
-When you share your password with another player, they can share it with anyone they want to.
-They can change your password and account information.
-They can access personal information you may have sent to someone else in owls.
-If the person logging into your account has four accounts, and logs into yours making it 5, if yours is the highest VE count on their IP it will be locked.
-If they are muted and get on your account to chat, your account will be muted.
-If they get banned and you are on their IP address, your account will be banned also.
-If they are a banned player, and log into your account to evade their ban, your account will be banned.
We will not help you recover a lost account due to sharing your information. This information should be kept private. I'd advise anyone who has been sharing accounts to change their passwords so they do not end up in the same situation as others before have.
Not everyone online is as trustworthy as you may think, they can tell you anything they want without you knowing if it is true or not. I would not trust anyone with your password.
If You Can Help
Thank you to everyone who was kind enough to spare some money for Elijah's family in their time of need!
I'd like to remind everyone, you can refer friends to Hogwarts Live using your referral link in Prefects Lounge.
For everyone you refer who makes it to level 10, you will gain 50 donator points!
Referring your own accounts is not allowed, it is considered cheating and will get your account locked. Any account on your IP is considered your account, it does not matter if it is your cousin's sister-in-law twice removed second aunt, it will be treated as your account. Referring an alternate characters of existing players is also cheating and in bad taste. Both accounts may be locked and punished if this happens.
Server Change
Hogwarts Live has changed servers. The previous server was old and
recently has been resulting in lag. You may experience weird things
happening while it sorts out. We have reports of people jumping servers
to the old version of the site and back to the new one. As a result
any game process gained on the old server will be lost. Sorry for the
The direct link to the new server is http://padfoot.wizards.pro
Happy Birthday Harry Potter (and J. K. Rowling)!
Today we say Happy Birthday to Harry Potter (for those of you who don't live in England it's already July 31st there).
In addition to this wonderful event I'd like to mention that earlier this year was Hogwarts Live's ten year (yes, that's right TEN YEARS!) anniversary.
As a special treat to all of you we are releasing some changes to the site. If that wasn't already enough we're doing a Double Donation Day and multiple candy raffles!
Double Donation Day means you get double the points when you donate to HL and the candy raffles are really great. Go check them out! ^^
I'd like to specifically call out Juan, Pam, all our staff and testers for helping get these changes done and ready for live.
Some of these new changes to the site are:
EIGHT new specialties, all based on the Harry Potter universe.
Knight Bus, which is located under Travel, for a few gems allows you to travel without being getting stopped by pesky waylays, but you might get a negative buff.
Honeydukes, where you can buy a delicious treat, but be careful you might not like what you eat!
Various modules were also fixed.
Please petition any bugs found, anyone caught abusing these will be punished.
Families, Family Discussions, and Godric's Hollow
Several years ago, our chats were being inundated with "will someone adopt me??????" posts, older players jumping all over new firstyears with questions like, "Do you have a mom or dad yet???" or "Do you want to be adopted????" and pages and pages of players discussing who they were related to, how they were related , when they became related, etc. Most of these discussions would take place multiple times every day with (frequently) the same participants.
When it wasn't a family trying to figure out all the snarls and twists and turns in their family tree, it was a family arguing over some family issue. Not just members of a family RPing together, and not even a real RP to be honest since it was more of a discussion than "acting," but people arguing over why they wouldn't recognize a certain family member or some other sort of drama that was strictly family-related.
These discussions and arguments would disrupt RPs already taking place and/or conversations taking place with players just chatting.
To help keep chats a bit more tidy, we installed Godric's Hollow with the intent of that being the "family village" (see original post here http://www.hogwartslive.com/blog/post/469/godrics-hollow ). All requests for adoptions, whether it be someone looking for a family or someone looking for a new member to their existing one, would take place here, as well as all discussions of family trees, family arguments that were about family-related topics, and anything else that came up within a family.
In the time since installing Godric's, this has worked well as most players have moved their conversation to Godric's or owls or to a dwelling when asked by staff. It has only been recently that players have been ignoring multiple requests and warnings by staff, hence the NOTICE that was posted on every page (until this blog post).
This does not mean that players cannot address a family member in chat by their title, i.e. "Hi mom!" or "WitchyWoman waves to her sister." It does not mean that players cannot refer to being related to another player in cases like, "Oh you know SamSpit? He's my brother." It does not mean that you cannot ask someone if they are related to someone else, as long as you're not asking for that person's entire pedigree. "Hi, SaraSugar. Are you SallyMay's sister?" It does not mean that family members cannot RP together.
All we are asking is that if you are going to start a discussion about who your relatives are or have an issue with your family about your family, please do it either in owls, a dwelling, or in Godric's Hollow. If you are looking to be adopted or see someone that you would like to adopt, post in Godric's or owl them. And if a simple comment about a family member unintentionally turns into a discussion about your family and a staffer asks you to move it out of chat, MOVE it. Simple.
In cases where players ignore a staffer's request to move out of regular chat or players that keep having to be asked (as in multiple instances), staff can and will mute.
Thank you.

May you all be blessed with hugs, kisses, and yummy chocolates! :)
Rules Reminder
We have recently been seeing more and more instances of certain rules being broken and we just want to remind you of a few things...
Trying to hack into the server, trying to crack other user's passwords, or otherwise doing something detrimental to the integrity or security of HL is strictly forbidden. Do not use scripts or bots to automate game tasks as they may burden the server. You must report any bugs or exploits you discover using the Petition for Help link. Using bugs or exploits to improve your stats will result in a temp ban and/or having your account locked. Those who report bug abuse or means of doing may receive a reward.
Alternate characters (alts)
You may have UP TO 4 accounts per IP address. If you decide to make more than that, your highest account(s) will be locked until you are back down to 4 accounts. If you choose to make more than one account, they may not interact with each other. This means no arguing between your accounts, no sending gold or pets from one account to another, no PvPing yourself, etc. Don't create an alt for drama purposes either. If you do, your main may be locked. Also, do NOT refer your own account(s).*** This type of cheating is just in bad taste. Again, we may decide to lock your main account if you do. If you share a computer, Internet connection, or Network with another player we will assume there is only one person at the keyboard and you will be held responsible for all activity that originates from your account or IP address.
***This also includes your "sisters" or "brothers." Only refer people that don't live in your house.
Also, if you suspect someone of being an alt, it's not your duty to announce it in chat or ask them whose alt they are. It's none of your business. If you know someone to be an alt, keep it to yourself unless you have permission from the person to share that information with others.
(I would like to note that the only foolproof way to keep an alt a secret is to not tell anyone. I don't care if you only tell your BFF- it will get out somehow. )
Appropriate content
Keep your comments and actions appropriate for all ages. This means watch your language, watch your sexual content, and absolutely, NO CYBERING ANYWHERE ON THE SITE. Owls and dwellings are not excluded from this. If we have evidence, or in some cases even just suspect that you are here only for sexual reasons, you WILL be banned.
Do not bully/harass someone for how they are roleplaying just because it is not how you RP or how you perceive RP has to be. You are not a RP king/queen and do not have the right to tell someone how to RP or make fun of them for how they choose to RP. As long as their RP partner(s) is fine with how they RP, it is none of your concern. If you do not like how someone RPs, do not RP with them, it is that simple. If you do not like seeing their posts, use the ignore feature.
Examples of spam:
Posting one or two lines of a song is alright, posting more is not allowed and considered spam.
The full list of rules can be found in the FAQ, located in every village. You may want to take a moment to review those as well, as not knowing them does not excuse you from having to follow them.
Thanks, and have a good day! xD

um...what greed drove players out of the game???
An Earnest Question for the Player Crew Crowd
General Discussion « Star Trek Online
i played sqo for over1 year now, and ihave seen so many advances, COlonial buildings, more ships, factions, gfx updates, we even have shuttles now :O
and because of the different stations, and somewhat lack of crew, you will get sooooo much attention, help etc when you join, be it from starfleet of the united systesms alliance, the emporer of the klinshaya empire, the consul of the (newly formed) ICS, the solitary Confeds of non aligned worlds (CONW) or even the mysterious Therataan protectorates. There WILL be a place for you somewhere, PvP = Klins, Science, explore, PvE, PvP = Alliance/ICS, science, explore = Therataa.
as for Civ side, there are people who can help you get started, i am gettin a new ship soon, so who knows, maybe you can crew my ship ;) ill even buy first 3 people a shuttle :D
i have, do and always will love SQO, 1000 stars / 5 stars forever :D
take a look and look me up on forums :) im comet :P

General Discussion « StarQuest Online
-- Independent Coalition of Systems --
Do you love ICS? Well it doesn't matter, because ICS loves you! You may not know it, but the proud Uniformed Gentlebeings and Femalebeings of the Coalition Defence Force also Loves you! They are here to protect you, but in order to protect you, We need you ! So support our cause , or Sign up and become a Honorable ICS Citizen! Hoorah
-- Who we are?
The Independent Coalition of Systems is a big civilian faction located outside alliance territory, this mean that we have our own laws and the first goal here is help others and have fun.
-- What we offer?
Exclamation Basic training for newcomers.
-- Civilian advisor – this mean that you will have all information for start your civilian life inside ICS territory;
-- Elite training;
Newcomers seeking a real training program , help and fun. We are a family here.
Old players looking for new horizons and tired of the old rules.
All time zones welcome!
All ages welcome!
Ok, basically the ICS is a faction formed by players, similar to (if you played way back then) UFP. We have several colonies awaiting Secession from the United System's Alliance, and currently have 1 colony (the capital) in the secession process (to break away from the Alliance). We have our own government, and ships which we lend out. We also have our own Fleet (known as the Warfleet) to defend ourselves against hostiles upon full secession. We also build everything with out own materials. So, all in all, we are a player made, player ran and player built Faction, of whom all are welcome, even if you have no clue how to play, we can and will, if you want us to, teach you how :)

SQO Review - 1 year Player
General Discussion « StarQuest Online
Ok i got another thing to add...
The admins work hard, and major bugs have been wiped from the game, so performance in battle has drastically increased. Also with the new Buildings for colonies it does make another thing to do, because you need the buildings to get the colony happy, so it makes it a little more challenging to get a colony.
Also with the new shuttles and Fighters coming soon, it will be an amazing addition to not only the fighting/combat side of the game, but also the Civilian side, where you can fly in a small shuttle to make things faster to Test chemicals etc. But the fighters will enable New players to be able to go in and shoot the enemy without much risk (apart from dying) and loosing a fighter, easily replacable.
The admins continue to add new stuff to the game, and to fix the Bugs in the game. Been a year and 2 months, and i am still LOVING the game, i recommend it to all RPers (or just people who like Sci-Fi/Space MMOs) with the helpful Forums, and the 'need' for new recruits, you will be adored for your first month in the game.
If you want to join, and want to play with people, or want to get taught how to play, rather than the (rather simple) Tutorial, then you are more than welcome to PM me (on SQO forums as i rarely log on here) and join the Independent Coalition of Systems (see another topic titles Independent Coalition of System's (above this topic somewhere) and follow that Forum link, and ask to join, I am always recruiting, and will be more than happy to help you get started :) )

Hey, lets start with the good shall we?
1) A good Idea, with a bigger player base, this will go far
2) A few goals to aim for, so you know what to do.
3) Multi Clienting available, and multiple Avatars, meaning you can play 2 different alts (characters) at one time, be it 1 Starfleet, 1 Civilian, or 2 Starfleet or 2 Civilian (can be more than 2, depending on your Computer
4) Can actually walk on planets and inside ships, player owned planets/systems, player owned buildings
that is all i can think of, next is the bad,
1) Not much to do after a while or before a certain point
2) Not much fighting last time i checked
3) Takes a long time (depending on distance) to get from A to B
4) a major bug that needs to be fixed, but i bet they are working on it
Next up is the forums
1) A large amount of people here, who help others readily, be it new or veteran or beta
2) Good RP, and a good place to keep up on recent events (so if you stopped playing until they add a certain thing, it will/should be listed here)
3) CAN BE friendly, and can be brutal, RP and OOC
1) Fighting on forums a lot, starts as RP but may turn to OOC unless Mods get on top of it
2) Most people Forum play, rather than play in the game, keeping their titles as Minister, or w/e yet contribute in no way to the games upkeep (IE so rich or supplied etc that they dont even need to log in)
3) Can be inactive some times, or can take a while to get a response if no one wants to know about that post

Most pregnant women have symptoms of
gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), especially
heartburn, at some point during pregnancy. These
symptoms may begin at any time during a pregnancy and often may become worse as
the pregnancy progresses. Heartburn is common during pregnancy, because hormones
cause the digestive system to slow down. The muscles that push food down the
esophagus also move more slowly during pregnancy. Also, as the uterus
grows, it pushes on the stomach and sometimes forces stomach acid up into the
Although these symptoms are common during pregnancy,
they rarely cause complications, such as inflammation of the esophagus
(esophagitis). Most of the time, symptoms of heartburn improve after the baby
is born.
Treatment for pregnant women with GERD is similar to
treatment for other people who have GERD, focusing first on lifestyle changes
and nonprescription medicines. You can make changes to your lifestyle to help
relieve your symptoms of GERD. Here are some things to try:
Along with making lifestyle changes and taking
nonprescription medicines, some doctors may recommend the prescription drug
sucralfate for treating GERD symptoms during pregnancy.
And although the following prescription and
nonprescription medicines are
generally safe during pregnancy, don't use them without first talking to your

Three People Killed in Bombing at Nigeria Church, Police Say
July 10 (Bloomberg)-- Three people were killed in a bomb blast at a church near Abuja, Nigeria's capital, police said.
The explosion occurred at All Christian Church in Suleja, in Niger state, which borders the Federal Capital Territory, Richard Oguche, police spokesman for the state, said by telephone today. Investigations are continuing, he said.
Authorities in northern Nigeria have blamed a radical Islamic sect known as Boko Haram for bomb attacks and killings of government officials and security forces since last year.
The group, which draws inspiration from Afghanistan's Taliban movement, claimed responsibility for a blast on June 16 at Nigeria's police headquarters in Abuja that killed at least five people and injured 11.

Article: Central Neuropeptide Y Modulates Binge-Like Ethanol Drinking in C57BL/6J Mice via Y1 and Y2 Receptors[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Frequent binge drinking has been linked to heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and the development of ethanol dependence. Thus, identifying pharmaceutical targets to treat binge drinking is of paramount importance. Here we employed a mouse model of binge-like ethanol drinking to study the role of neuropeptide Y (NPY). To this end, the present set of studies utilized pharmacological manipulation of NPY signaling, immunoreactivity (IR) mapping of NPY and NPY receptors, and electrophysiological recordings from slice preparations of the amygdala. The results indicated that central infusion of NPY, a NPY Y1 receptor (Y1R) agonist, and a Y2R antagonist significantly blunted binge-like ethanol drinking in C57BL/6J mice (that achieved blood ethanol levels >80 mg/dl in control conditions). Binge-like ethanol drinking reduced NPY and Y1R IR in the central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA), and 24 h of ethanol abstinence after a history of binge-like drinking promoted increases of Y1R and Y2R IR. Electrophysiological recordings of slice preparations from the CeA showed that binge-like ethanol drinking augmented the ability of NPY to inhibit GABAergic transmission. Thus, binge-like ethanol drinking in C57BL/6J mice promoted alterations of NPY signaling in the CeA, and administration of exogenous NPY compounds protected against binge-like drinking. The current data suggest that Y1R agonists and Y2R antagonists may be useful for curbing and/or preventing binge drinking, protecting vulnerable individuals from progressing to the point of ethanol dependence.Neuropsychopharmacology: official publication of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology 01/2012; 37(6):1409-21.

Article: Chronic stress alters neuropeptide Y signaling in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis in DBA/2J but not C57BL/6J mice[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Numerous rodent and human studies have demonstrated that neuropeptide Y (NPY) is involved in the regulation of anxiety-related behaviors. In this study, we examined whether there were differences in NPY signaling between two inbred mouse strains (C57BL/6J and DBA/2J) that exhibit divergent basal and stress-induced anxiety phenotypes. We focused on the bed nucleus of the stria terminals (BNST), a structure in the extended amygdala that is important for the regulation of anxiety-like behavior and contains NPY receptors. While results from whole-cell voltage-clamp recordings and immunofluorescence histochemistry revealed no significant basal differences in NPY signaling or NPY and NPY Y2 receptor (Y2R) expression in the BNST, these measures were differentially altered by chronic restraint stress. Ten days of chronic restraint stress increased basal GABAergic transmission and decreased NPY's ability to inhibit evoked GABAergic transmission in the dorsolateral BNST (dlBNST) via Y2R in DBA/2J, but not C57BL/6J, mice. Additionally, restraint stress increased NPY and Y2R expression across subregions of the BNST of DBA/2J mice 24 h after the last stress exposure, but no changes were observed in C57BL/6J mice. Together, these results suggest that chronic restraint stress engages the NPY system and alters NPY modulation of inhibitory transmission in the dlBNST of DBA/2J mice, but not C57BL/6J mice, which may be related to increased expression of anxiety-related behaviors in this strain.Neuropharmacology 12/2011; 62(4):1777-86.

Prescription medicines that inhibit the growth of yeast (antifungals) are
used to treat thrush.
infants, treatment is continued for at least 48 hours after the symptoms have
gone away. Most adults need treatment for 14 days. In more severe or persistent
infections, treatment may be continued beyond the normal treatment
Antifungal medicines are either applied directly to the
affected area (topical) so the medicine affects only that area, or swallowed
(oral) so the medicine affects the entire body. In rare cases, an antifungal medicine will need to be
injected into a vein (intravenous, or IV).
Topical antifungal
medicines are applied to the affected area and are available in several forms, such as rinses and lozenges.
Topical antifungal medicines
need to be in contact with the affected area long enough to stop the growth of
the yeast. Lozenges are preferred because they take longer to dissolve. Because
the lozenges need moisture to dissolve, sipping water while using them may
help them work better.
Because several of the topical
antifungal medicines contain sugar, there is an increased risk of
cavities when the medicines are used for long periods
of time. Using a topical fluoride rinse or gel (if you are not already
obtaining fluoride through other means) during treatment may help prevent
cavities. Talk to your doctor or dentist before you give your child fluoride products. Too much fluoride may be toxic and can stain a child's teeth.
Unlike topical
antifungal medicines, oral antifungal medicines affect the whole body. Oral
medicines are used alone to treat mild thrush infections. But oral medicines also may be
combined with topical antifungal medicines to treat more severe thrush
Oral antifungal medicines are used to prevent thrush
in certain people with conditions that weaken the body's
immune system.
Oral antifungal medicines
should not be used during pregnancy because the
fetus may be harmed. But oral antifungal medicines may
be used in pregnant women who have a rare, severe infection.

I was thinking about project cars the other day. They're cool. You find a foundation to start with, then start building upon it to create your own automotive vision. Except when you don't, meaning you spend all your time and energy working on other things. More often than not, especially if classic cars are your business in addition to your hobby, the other things you're working on are other people's projects. Or other stories; that's probably just me. Hope that a project will finally come together, however, springs eternal.
Speaking of other stories, it's really nice to be in a position to ignore all our frequent advice about picking reasonable compression ratios and street-friendly, torque-inducing camshafts and go out on a limb. I wish I could impart to you just how nasty this month's 355 creation sounds. Idle, schmidle-this thing wants to rev. I could have and should have shot some video for the Web site, but I was too busy thanking the Almighty that I'd actually made it to the dyno while alternately cackling, "Huh huh, that's cool." (FYI, I do this in the voices of both Beavis and Butthead.) Next time we run it, I'll get you some sound. Of the engine, not of me channeling my favorite cartoon characters.
At this point in history, it's almost impossible to ramble without mentioning the pain at the pump we're all suffering. There was some brief discussion about whether or not our edgy 355 is a pump-gas motor, especially since we chose to run it on high test. As usual, Westech's Steve Brul had the answer: "Sure it is. You can get 100-octane at the pump over in Norco-if you don't mind paying eight bucks a gallon." Hey, we only pay half that for regular gas! Things are looking up already!
Young Guns
Karl Kellog, a Southern California native, has been attending car shows since he was a wee boy. Now, all grown up, he's carried that passion to what he drives every day. At one such event he spotted a '93 Z28 for sale and the first thing he did was swap out the old filter for a K&N one. He also added headers and electric exhaust cutouts. This summer he plans aluminum ported and polished heads with a new intake manifold. He's also got a custom-cut LT1 cam in the works. Hopefully he can keep up with his dad's Nova.
Book Learnin'
At its most basic, it takes air, fuel, and fire to run an internal combustion engine, and since we're all looking for maximum performance from our powerplants, we'd say it's a good idea to know as much as possible about the creation of the air/fuel mixture and what it takes to ignite the mix. The latter part of the process-lightin' the fires-is the subject of How to Build High-Performance Ignition Systems by Todd Ryden.
Right off the bat, we have to admit that we paid attention to this book in no small part because Ryden works for MSD Ignition and is one of our go-to guys when we have an ignition question. And while this Car Tech offering falls under the S-A Design moniker, denoting it as a how-to book, it's also full of theory. Looking to cover all the bases, Ryden takes great pains to explain the workings of ignition systems in their various iterations before moving onto the do-it-yourself basics of creating an appropriate setup for any given vehicle.
