To the Editor:
—In The Journal, February 1, there was a communication from Drs. Walter B. Coffey and John D. Humber concerning their method for the treatment of cancer by means of injections of extract of suprarenal cortex. They did not mention previous work relating to this question.Two years ago, while working at the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research with Dr. Murphy on chicken sarcoma, I observed that the cortex of the suprarenal glands of chickens reacts intensively to the growth of this tumor. Dr. Sturm and I have shown that the weight of the suprarenal glands increases about five or six times in the chicken that is a bearer of the sarcoma.In a subsequent study of the suprarenal cortex of mice and rats inoculated with various types of malignant tumors, I observed that in these animals likewise a special reaction occurs in the X zone of the

Learn more about Seco-Larm Enforcer Automatic Voice Dialer, 2 Messages:
Manufacturer: Seco-Larm Inc
Mfg Part#: E-920B
Sku: 235815934
See more in Home Automation Sensors
|When triggered by an alarm system, the Voice Dialer automatically dials up to 4 phone numbers, delivering up to 2 different messages. It easily connects to an alarm panel and stores up to 4 phone, cell or pager numbers. There is an instant trigger or exit and entry delay settings. The voice message is repeated for a minute per call, and waits 8-10 rings before dialing the next programmed number. EEPROM retains memory if power is lost for up to one year. Use with PBX or regular telephone systems. When the dialer is activated, the LCD will show the numbers dialed at each step of the dialing process. When the dialer makes a connection, one of two possible 16-second voice messages will be delivered. The user can record each message to respond to one or two inputs. Each message is then delivered repeatedly for one minute to ensure the full message is received. This process will repeat for each number stored. If within 8 to 10 rings there is no connection, the SEE920B will automatically dial the next programmed number. If the dialer has attempted to dial each number one time and the unit is still in the alarm state, the dialer will attempt to call all numbers a second time. All busy numbers will be dialed a third time.

4 Unexplained Explosions
Subscribe to our newsletter
The Earth is constantly bombarded by all sorts of wacky things every day. Most of the time we simply don't notice it because our atmosphere reduces whatever space debris that came our way to next to nothing (or actual nothing).
Earth also has a rich history of unexplained explosions. While easily passed off as cosmic in origins, these four examples do not have conclusive evidence to link them to meteors, comets, asteroids and the like.
The Amazonas Event
It was a beautiful morning in Amazonas, Brazil, on August 19th, 1930. The sun was shining in clear skies as people began their usual routines. Then something really freaky happened around eight in the morning: the sun turned red.
As the skies darkened similarly: red clouds took shape and white ash rained down on the tree tops. Then three whistling sounds pierced the air, followed promptly by three massive explosions in quick succession. Before anyone knew what was happening the forest was set ablaze. The fires would last for months.
The villagers had no idea what caused the event. When they were visited by a missionary five days later they wanted to know what they had done to earn the wrath of God. He explained that explosions were caused by meteorites, but that hasn't been confirmed to this day. Though there's a site where impact could have occurred (in the jungle near the banks of the Curuca River) it didn't contain any conclusive evidence that a meteorite caused the damage. The time of the impact, however, occur in concert with the Perseid meteor shower.
An estimated size of a theoretical meteorite based on the damage and alleged impact site places it between one-thousand and twenty-five thousand tons.
The Mediterranean Event
In 2002, the countries of India and Pakistan had been in conflict for over a year over the ownership of the Kashmir region. Both sides were heavily armed with nuclear weapons, so any escalation into war would only end in the use of horribly efficient bombs and the deaths of millions of people.
So on 6th of June the world collectively shat its pants when an explosion was detected over the Mediterranean Sea. Carrying ten kilotons of energy (the same as the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima during World War II), much of the world jumped to the conclusion that someone finally lost it and fired the first shot. Goodnight, planet Earth. You had a good run.
But when there were no subsequent explosions with neither side claiming responsibility, things got a little weird. Neither India nor Pakistan had sensors advanced enough to tell what specifically had caused the explosion, nor was there any evidence of it left after the fact. Those two factors could have led to overreactions from either side, but that thankfully was not the case.
Though there was no direct evidence stating so, the United States officially cited the event as an asteroid explosion. Because there was no impact on land there was obviously no crater, and any debris left over would have been washed out at sea, ensuring no evidence would be left behind.
The Vela Incident
Vela is a satellite system developed by the United States to monitor atmospheric activity. On September 22nd, 1979, it detected a "double flash" over the Indian Ocean. Double flashes are characteristic of nuclear explosions, so it was kind of a big deal. The explosion was measured at two or three kilotons.
There was (and still is) much doubt as to what exactly Vela detected. The satellite itself was ten years old at the time, and two years past its own designed lifetime, so the technology it used was most likely out of date. It was also known to have failed electromagnetic pulsar tests. There seemed to be enough reason to doubt it had detected a weapon detonation.
But then there's the people taking credit for a weapon's test. Those who first speculated that it was a weapon's test believed it to be Israeli in origin, which had successfully tested a nuclear weapon only five years prior. However, there have been many claims that it was actually a South African test assisted by the Israeli government in some way. South African Deputy Foreign Minister Aziz Pahad confirmed this to the press, going on to say that Israel provided nuclear design information to the apartheid government in exchange for five-hundred and fifty-tons of uranium. The government official would go on to say he was only citing rumors.
It should be noted that the United States Air Force made numerous passes through the area with planes designed specifically to detect nuclear material, and they found nothing. Though the United States was among the first to claim it hadn't been a nuclear weapon, doubt is widely held today and thousands of documents pertaining to the explosion have since been declassified, though they do not draw a conclusion.
Tunguska Event
On June 30th, 1908, the wrath of a vengeful god fell upon the Earth and had the misfortune of landing near the Podkamennaya Tunguska River in Russia.
Around 7:17 in the morning, locals began reporting a beam of bluish light racing across the sky. This beam was supposedly as bright as the sun. Shortly after artillery fire could be heard followed by massive shock waves that knocked people over and shattered windows for miles around. There are a few reports of people seeing an explosion, though these are few in comparison to people who felt what they believed to have been an earthquake.
Regardless, the explosion was massive, measuring in at between ten and fifteen megatons of TNT. To put that in a better perspective, that's one-third the power of the Tsar Bomba, the largest nuclear device ever detonated, easily enough to wipe out entire an entire city. The sky was aglow for several nights afterward.
One of the most fascinating things about the explosion is that it didn't leave a crater. The impact site is identifiable by millions of scorched trees, with the outward most trees having been bent or knocked over completely. This area covers eight-hundred and fifty square miles. Can you even imagine that size?
General consensus of the explosion's source pin it on a meteor or comet that burst several miles above the surface of the earth. However, this is still debated and alternate theories have been proposed. One of the most popular is the "natural hydrogen bomb theory," which states that a comet entering the atmosphere with high concentrations of deuterium could have undergone nuclear fission, creating the explosion. Another idea suggests the damage was caused by a miniature black hole passing through the planet, though this was rejected because there was no similar "exit wound" where the hole passed through the other side. Regardless, most alternative theories have been dismissed because they are inconsistent with mineral debris found in the area.

You have to use a seat or you are one step closer to riding a scooter. There are many seats out there, and in Odyssey's 25 years we have seat designs change dramatically, but almost come back to where they started back then. Plastic seats were popular in the early days because they were cheap, and BMX bikes were considered cheap. You don't sit on a BMX seat that much, so it made sense. We have seen padded seats come into play, seatposts get super high, and seats get huge. In 2010 they are slammed lower than ever and even back to non padded versions. What goes around comes around.

No Cam Do: The Story of the 2013 Carolina Hurricanes Team Name: Carolina Hurricanes Record: 19-25-4, 3rd in Southeast, No Playoffs Player of the Season: Eric Staal 18-35–53 was the best player on the team. He's definitely the proverbial straw that stirs the drink and Carolina got a real solid season from him. He's not a first-round pick but will come off the board early. Breakout of the Season: Jiri Tlusty racked up a career-best 23 goals ,38 points, eight points on the power play and a +15 rating this season. Looking at the stats on the surface those are great numbers for a 48-game season. But when you dig deeper it becomes caveat emptor for Tlusty in 2013-2014. Will he be the guy who scored seven goals in six games in February? Or will he be the guy who had a nine-game drought to open the season. Tlusty also seems to score in twos or threes which further exaggerate the risk-reward assessment on Tlusty. He scores four goals in five games and then goes 16 games without one (save for...

Expanding 'trust' through new experiences....
EXIT 33 -- Trusting More After chatting with you over the computer and 'hearing' a story that you made up on the spot, I turned back over and drifted back to sleep. I had a smile of satisfaction on my face as your sweet countenance once again occupied my dreamy sleep. The aftereffects of your story on my body soon had me 'asleep' and once again dreaming. After releasing your hands, I help...Read On

Their big neon sign is truly a welcome sight for me. ...Read On

I finally got 'lucky' in the morning...fantasy tale from a real life trucker!
A new day dawned and there was no alarm clock to wake us from our sleep. I woke up, laying on my side, to the feel of a warm and very naked female body curled into me. My cock was hiding away stretched out between her thighs and against the outer lips of her pussy. My lower arm was stretched out and being used like a pillow while my upper arm was across her warm body with a nice handful of...Read On

Fantasy vs. Reality in a dream like state of mind leads to a conflict in the heart.
We share a quiet time together… two new friends getting to know each other better and when I sense that you are physically a little tense and tired I offer you a shoulder and neck massage. "Come sit here in front of me," I say as I move slightly closer to the sofa's edge. You respond quickly and seat your self on the floor between my spread knees.

A good meal and a hot shower are a great way to end the day for a commercial truck driver.
The steady drone of the big diesel for the last couple of hours has about made both of us drowsy. The traffic tonight has been sporadic, either light and moving along at 70, or heavy stop / go construction tie ups that really try a truck driver's patience.

EU reaches deal with Germany on green energy law
BRUSSELS/FRANKFURT, July 9 (Reuters) – European Union
authorities have reached a deal with Germany on how to make its
proposed green energy law compatible with EU state aid rules,
the bloc's antitrust chief said on Wednesday.
The European Commission has been examining Germany's
revamped renewables legislation (EEG), which protects heavy
industry from the cost of funding green energy, on concerns that
this may give some companies an unfair advantage.
50Hertz to invest 400-500 mln euros in German power grid in 2014 alone
FRANKFURT, July 8 (Reuters) – German power grid operator
50Hertz plans to invest 400-500 million euros this year to erect
transmission lines that will carry wind power from Germany's
remote areas to its industrial centres to support its shift from
fossil fuels to renewable energy.
Chief Executive Boris Schucht said in an interview the
eastern German transmission system operator is among companies
holding the key to ensuring the transformation process known as
the 'Energiewende' gets the infrastructure support necessary to
EU utilities will suffer from low power prices until 2020 – Moody's
FRANKFURT, July 2 (Reuters) – Europe's utilities will
continue to suffer from low wholesale power prices eroding their
revenues until the end of the decade as rising renewable output
and low demand combine, rating agency Moody's said on Wednesday.
Europe's power generators have been squeezed by the
expansion of renewable energy, which is creating overcapacity
and eroding prices, while profitable coal-fired power stations
are forced to close under European climate protection policies.
Merkel to push back against EU if green energy support questioned
BERLIN, June 25 (Reuters) – German Chancellor Angela Merkel
said on Wednesday she would push back decisively against the
European Commission if it raised further objections to Germany's
system of green power subsidies.
Berlin and the Commission have been at odds over the German
policy under which consumers pay a surcharge to finance
renewable energy while heavy industrial users are exempt. The
Commission raised new objections on Monday, which led to Germany
offering to change its planned reform at the last minute.
E.ON, RasGas sign flexible 2 bcm LNG supply deal into UK
FRANKFURT/MILAN, May 28 (Reuters) – Britain may receive more
liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the world's biggest producer
Qatar under a deal signed by utility E.ON on
Wednesday, underscoring growing dependence on the Gulf State as
indigenous North Sea reserves run dry.
Eon's energy trading arm struck a deal to send up to 2
billion cubic metres of gas over three years from Qatari
producer RasGas to Britain's Isle of Grain import terminal,
where Eon has import rights.
Signs of hope for Germany's loss-making power plants
FRANKFURT, May 20 (Reuters) – There are signs of hope for
German utilities looking for help to keep loss-making plants
open as Economy Minister Sigmar Gabriel drives energy reforms
and the regulator signals his support for lifting the sector out
of crisis.
The government wants utilities to keep gas- and coal-fired
plants open to ensure power supply when there is a lull in
variable wind or solar energy.
Swiss hydro power under threat from German energy shift
BERLIN, April 29 (Reuters) – Oversupply of German renewable
power threatens to undermine future hydroelectric operations in
neighbouring Switzerland, the chairman of Swiss utility Alpiq
said in an attack on Germany's wind and solar
As Germany seeks to get out of nuclear energy fast and wean
itself off fossil fuels, it must also reconcile the national
plan with nine surrounding countries in converging markets that
are all affected by price movements and power flows originating
in the European Union's biggest economy.
EEX energy bourse posts higher trades in Jan-March
LEIPZIG, Germany, April 9 (Reuters) – The European Energy
Exchange (EEX) posted a 5 percent rise in trading of its
flagship electricity futures for January through March,
benefiting from declining over the counter market participation
amid tighter EU financial regulation.
Continental Europe's biggest power bourse on Wednesday
reported 350.3 terawatt-hours (TWh) of futures traded compared
with 333.3 TWh a year earlier, according to material issued at a
news briefing at the EEX in Leipzig.
European energy prices face weak spring
LONDON/FRANKFURT, April 4 (Reuters) – European benchmark
power, natural gas and coal prices have dropped to multi-year
lows and gas prices in particular could drop further in coming
months given oversupply and weak demand.
European energy prices have fallen steadily this year as a
result of a mild winter and a supply glut. A warmer-than-average
outlook for the start of spring has put further pressure on
prices this week.
Weather's role in power prices will grow – Danske Commodities chief
FRANKFURT/PRAGUE, March 27 (Reuters) – The growing influence
of weather on Europe's wholesale power markets will make them
increasingly volatile, creating new short-term trading
opportunities, the head of Danske Commodities said on Thursday.
Rising supply from weather-dependent solar installations and
wind farms has forced market players to wrestle with bigger

Judge adds interest to O'Brien award from Ohio State

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State must pay Jim O'Brien $206,000 in interest in addition to the $2.2 million already awarded the fired basketball coach because the school failed to follow terms of his contract.
Judge Joseph T. Clark on Friday awarded $241,000 in interest but

Ten title in 2002 and sharing it in 2000. Clark said in an earlier

Capital Gain or Loss
The difference between the sales price and the purchase price of a capital asset. When that difference is positive, the difference is referred to as a capital gain. When the difference is negative, it is a capital loss.

Annual contributions may be made to the plan by the employer at the level needed to fund the benefit. The annual contributions are limited to a specified amount, indexed to inflation.

IRA (Individual Retirement Account)
Annual contributions up to $2,000.00 are deductible from earned income in the calculation of federal and state income taxes if the taxpayer meets certain requirements. The earnings accumulate tax-deferred until withdrawn, and then they are taxed as ordinary income. Individuals not eligible to make deductible contributions may make nondeductible contributions, the earnings on which would be tax-deferred.

why are there three police cars in the parking lot of the lumber mill?
Is that... a naked sheriff?
Edit: Yes.
That bar is not too far from the Hotel. When facing the entrance to the bar take the road to the right of it and go straight then turn right.
that chase was fucking awesome!!
haha man this shit is intense today!!!!! lol
" Brotip: If you have trouble finding the hotel, use cigarettes to pass time. "bumped for attention
I know this is not a big deal but it's really bothering me so here goes: how are they not taking the longest nap possible when their health is on low?! If they have a surplus of food, why would they not sleep long enough to completely restore their health? Man, it feels good to have gotten that out.
Also, the chase sequence almost literally made me rofl. Hilarious.
日本男の人の深層心理は屈辱と房事の腐敗堕落が基軸です。例えば、Evelynの義理まんを見据えます。これビデオゲームは余計mad japaneseです!君をZach伺います!
And here was me thinking that Deadly Premonition was alright...then this happened.
YES!!! the Race Music was a cheap Knockoff of "I Fought The Law"
" "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOFUCK" made me laugh way too hard "Leave it to Brad to time a fail so perfectly. =D
Jesus F chryst... they see a little person icon on the map and immediately think is a bathroom ? why the hell would there be bathrooms showing on the map? aren't they supposed to talk to those people? I mean that's why they're showing on the map in the first place I guess.
Wow, Brad and Ryan are moving farther and farther ahead of Vinny and Jeff. Slow down, guys, explore a little more.
The nose hair trimmer bit was interesting. I myself use a Dovo Klippette: a manual circular trimmer from Dovo Solingen, the fine makers of Merkur razors. I like my hair removing equipment manual, but the built-in vacuum sounds really great.
theres a gun smith too
It's kind of funny the way items are stacked. The numbers suggest you can have thousands upon thousands of steel pipes.
That was one of the dumbest things I've ever seen.
Awesome ringtone, Ryan. For those not "in the know", the happy theme is almost a direct rip of the Mario theme. Think about it.
That was the best race of all time. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
hahahaha nooooooooooooooooo goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
This game needs Google map support.
Anyone else pause and fap to Emily's back?!?!
Is it just me or was the racing music kind of an American Idiot rip-off?
Oh man, I don't even have a real cell phone and I want that whistling track as my ringtone like Ryan has. I wouldn't even bother explaining it ever, it would be my little awesome secret.
And that failed race was the funniest thing I've seen this year.
brad needs to quit making assumptions instead of thinking, and taking it slow and patiently. thats the kind of game this is. might enjoy it more that way.
" brad needs to quit making assumptions instead of thinking, and taking it slow. thats the kind of game this is. "And Ryan needs to stop being so encouraging! Always saying right when they're supposed to go left. Always being distracting JUST when the map pans over a clear pillow with some Zs next to it and they're like "there's no place to sleeeeeep". Frankly? A little frustrating to watch! Just a little, though. In this case, the game feels like it's making up for the quality of the ER itself. Team BR may be progressing much quicker than VJ, but they've barely begun to figure out how the game works it seems. Like Brad's wishing there was a strafe button last episode...
Goddamn, Brad can't read a map for shit
The lift reminds me of Metal Gear Solid so much, I was half expecting some phone call about demons in stealth suits or something.
how did they not notice the flys?
LOL That chase scene was awesome! Ryan creates the moment!
Dammit Brad, so bad at things.
BRAD HOLD X WHEN YOU OPEN A DOOR TO SPEED UP THE ANIMATION, that's all.
lol the racing music is american idiot.
That race was one of the funniest parts ever!!!
that chase scene was maybe the worst quicktime event ever created
Brad blaming his pathetic failures on game mechanics that he doesn't understand or even knows they are there is hilarious.
Okay, Deadly Premonition obviously can't do chase scenes. Why was Agent York scripted to PUSH BOXES when he could clearly run around them? How does that do anything but induce frustration and fake tension? That part really pissed me off.
However, the Race part showed me one thing. Ryan and Brad have to play a Rally Racing game at some point and film it.
The bird hooting sound at 41:40 is also in Age of Mythology.
Man, I love hearing stock sounds.
Is it me or does the race music sound a bit like American Idiot by Green Day?
" Brad blaming his pathetic failures on game mechanics that he doesn't understand or even knows they are there is hilarious. "
Ryan doing the Yay-ay!?
Funky Student yet lives!
Funny things:
1. There's always a big insect flying laps around York in every cutscene.
2. Most of the town shops and the school close every time it rains. Seriously? Wonder how many of the local kids graduate and go on to college.
3. Axe guy searches the room York is hiding in for... 60 seconds and then moves on? WTF? He KNOWS York is in there! Why the hell is he giving up so fast?
4. Calling York at the right time and place and asking 'Where are you?' Classic. You called me, idiot!
I couldn't help playing that back
edit X2
" The lift reminds me of Metal Gear Solid so much, I was half expecting some phone call about demons in stealth suits or something. "The talking about old movies while in the car reminds me of MGS3, where after saving Paramedic would tell you about some random movie.
they shouldn't just went back to the police station and slept in the jail cell if they couldn't find the hotel...
1. There's always a big insect flying laps around York in every cutscene.In gameplay too. It popped up after the "stinky agent" penalty.

Jeff, one of our Generator Field Technicians, was recently recognized for his continued drive and attention to detail while servicing units for our customers out in the field. Eric is the Field Service Lead Technician, while Gary Trainum is our Branch Service Manager at the Manassas branch.
Hi Eric,
Just letting you know that Jeff did an excellent job for Verizon last night. He was here just to monitor the new fuel filters during our 1 hour run, but ended up staying here until 1am. During our run last night Generator 6 started to shut down on low fuel because our day tank was not filling back up and we had to shut the engine down. So after the 1 hour run, Jeff spent the time to figure out what caused this to happen and worked on it until he was sure the problem was fixed. It turns out the problem was a shorted wire from the basin rupture contactor on the side of the basin. This shorted wire was the result of one of our contractors pulling new battery wires under the generator.
Again, we appreciate Western Branch's support in insuring the availability of our back up plant at Fairland.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Attorney General Eric Holder said on Monday the average number of mass shooting incidents has tripled in recent years.
Between 2000 and 2008, the U.S. experienced an average of five mass shootings every year. Since then the annual average has tripled, Holder said. So far in 2013, there have been at least 12, he said.
According to Justice Department figures on mass shootings, 404 people were shot and 207 people were killed from 2009 to 2012. From 2000 to 2008, 324 people were shot and 145 were killed.
In remarks to the annual conference of the International Association of Chiefs of Police, the attorney general said that in the past decade, the Justice Department has helped train 50,000 front-line officers, more than 7,000 on-scene commanders and more than 3,000 local, state and federal agency heads on how to respond to active shooters.
To disrupt planned shootings and other attacks, the FBI's Behavioral Threat Assessment Center works every day with local police and other levels law enforcement to assess people who may be contemplating violence. Since 2011, the center has reported hundreds of successful disruptions, including an anticipated 150 this year alone, Holder said.

Ha Ji-won has been picked by the outdoor wear brand NorthCape to model the brand alongside fellow actor Choi Min-soo.
"Ha Ji-won has always been portrayed as this bubbly, positive and happier person which fits perfectly with our brand", said a spokesperson from the clothing label.
Apparently, the 34-year-old's pull with the brand's target consumers, aged between 35-45, also played a part in her landing the gig.
Ha will work alongside Choi in promoting the brand's latest apparel until the end of this year.
The new catalogue will go into production late September so it won't be long until Ha's face hits NorthCape outlets nationwide.

Nairobi Seeks Answers 2 Months After 'Kenya's 9/11'
By editor
On Sept. 21, terrorists attacked the upscale Westgate shopping mall in Nairobi, Kenya, killing at least 67 people. Despite early reports of as many as 15 gunmen, Kenyan police now know that the attack was the work of only four terrorist, all of whom died in the suicide mission. But some other very important questions remain unanswered.

When it accelerates, it takes a huge amount of throttle to get going and then it shoots out tons of blue smoke. it accelerates VERY slowly and won't really change gears. I tried leaning the LSN and a little on the HSN and it did very little. Many times when i let down on the throttle the engine stalls. I have no clue what to do. it might be the clutch... what do you think?

I installed the plugin. I didn't like it. I uninstalled, and it deleted my events.
Went back to All-In-One.
Can we work with to solve any issues you have with the plugin
What was the resolution for this issue? I have also been using all in one event calendar, but thought I'd take a look at CalPress. All my ai1ec events were taken into the Calpress system, but now that I've decided to continue with all in one, how do I get my events migrated back? If I deactivate CalPress and re-activate all in one.., none of my events are there.
slowbutsteady - we do not have a way to export directly to all-in-one.
But you can do the following to work around the issue.
1) Update to the latest version of CalPress (important!)
2) export your calendar by right clicking on the subscribe button and copying the url.
3) Past the url into any web browser - do not hit enter yet.
4) replace the webcal://www.calpresspro.com/.... with http://www......
5) hit enter and you should see a download appear call calpress.ics
this is a complete copy of your calendar in ics format. You can then use this to import into other calendar programs. Some plugins do not allow direct uploads - so you may have to import the file into google calendars or another web based calendar so that you can import the events.
If you need anything please send us a message directly to
Thanks, Don

The 'tepuys' of La Gran Sabana are stupendously awesome. They are formed millions and millions of years ago.

'La Gran Sabana' means 'The Great Savannah'.Indeed here, the savannah is G-R-E-A-T. There is something magical about this region, I cannot quite explain it.

Don't Forget Insurance
If your current health insurance doesn't cover you while your abroad, you should consider getting international travel insurance just in case something should go wrong.
Santa Elena de Uairén Local Customs
When you arrive here in Santa Elena, you can't help but notice the rows and rows of cars waiting to get their tanks filled. There were rows for Brazilians, rows for Venezuelans and rows for tourists. And these rows were controlled by the military police.
As petrol is so cheap here in Venezuela, Brazilians come here in loads to buy petrol. There is a black market going on. They buy for X Bs in Venezuela but they sell it for 15 to 20 times more in Brazil. Some of them install extra tanks in their cars so that they can pump a lot of litres. There is some form of control with the car registration or whatever. But people would come over early in the morning, get their tanks filled, leave, transfer the petrol somewhere else, change the license plate and car registration of another car, and return to get their tanks filled again.
Of course, the guy working at the petrol station knows. A little tip for him. And maybe the military police knows. A little tip for him as well.
The tourist jeeps here get special privileges, so they can jump right to the front of the queue, but only if all their papers were right. Otherwise, perhaps, a little tip for the military police to smoothen out the complications.
Think about the taxi drivers. To them, having petrol in their cars is a must. Yet, each time they need petrol, they have to wait up to 3 hours... like all the poor residents living here. Sigh...
Santa Elena de Uairén Warnings and Dangers
'Puripuris' are sandflies and they are everywhere near the waterfalls and rivers.There is no avoiding them, I guess, because even if you spray insect repellant, by the time you dip into the waterfalls and rivers, everything would be washed off.

S.D. researchers awarded stem cell funds
State institute sets goal: clinical trials in four years
In a new twist to the stem cell institute's efforts, Carson's group is working with a leukemia team at the University of Toronto. The latest round of grants will be augmented by $35 million in Canadian funding and an additional $8 million from the United Kingdom to back complementary projects in those countries.
Carson's co-principal investigator, Catriona Jamieson of UCSD, said the four-year timeline is particularly realistic for their project. Jamieson previously participated in a stem cell institute-backed project that advanced a drug into trials, in that case for a rare class of blood diseases.
She said the state funding was critical because the work is beyond the basic research stage that most grants fund but not far enough along to attract the attention of biotech or pharmaceutical companies.
"This is a tremendous boon to the patients in California," Jamieson said. "The opportunity to do this kind of research is vital."
Another local funding recipient is scientist Emmanuel Baetge of the San Diego company Novocell, who will get $20 million to support efforts to use human embryonic stem cells to develop a diabetes treatment. Unlike the grants the nonprofit institutions will receive, Novocell's money is a loan.
Local scientists from the Burnham Institute for Medical Research and the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research will participate in a study led by a UC San Francisco scientist. Their plan, which won $19.2 million in backing, is to genetically modify stem cells to carry a tumor-killing drug and attack brain tumors.
Of 321 grants the institute has awarded so far, 76 have gone to organizations in San Diego County. That adds up to $189.2 million, with the largest amount, $65.6 million, going to UCSD.
Other major grant recipients yesterday come from Stanford, UCLA, the University of Southern California and the City of Hope National Medical Center in Duarte. They are pursuing a range of diseases that includes cancer, stroke and HIV/AIDS.
AIDS patient advocate Jeff Sheehy, a member of the stem cell institute's board, said there was "extreme rigor" in the selection process, with a review group of 15 people from outside California and additional expert advisers on specific topics. The result, he said, is a menu of projects with a good chance of meeting the four-year goal.
"These are not just well-placed bets," Sheehy said. "We are not just casually throwing around money hoping we're going to have a cure at the end of the day."
