- Efficient lysis of rhabdomyosarcoma cells by cytokine-induced killer cells : implications for adoptive immunotherapy after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (2010)
- Background: Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in childhood and has a poor prognosis. Here we assessed the capability of ex vivo expanded cytokine-induced killer cells to lyse both alveolar and embryonic rhabdomyosarcoma cell lines and investigated the mechanisms involved. Design and Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from six healthy donors were used to generate and expand cytokine-induced killer cells. The phenotype and composition of these cells were determined by multiparameter flow cytometry, while their cytotoxic effect against rhabdomyosarcoma cells was evaluated by a europium release assay. Results: Cytokine-induced killer cells efficiently lysed cells from both rhabdomyosarcoma cell lines. Antibody-mediated masking of either NKG2D molecule on cytokine-induced killer cells or its ligands on rhabdomyosarcoma cells (major histocompatibility antigen related chain A and B and UL16 binding protein 2) diminished this effect by 50%, suggesting a major role for the NKG2D molecule in rhabdomyosarcoma cell killing. No effect was observed after blocking CD11a, CD3 or TCRαβ molecules on cytokine-induced killer cells or CD1d on rhabdomyosar-coma cells. Remarkably, cytokine-induced killer cells used tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) to activate caspase-3, as the main caspase responsible for the execution of apoptosis. Accordingly, blocking TRAIL receptors on embryonic rhabdomyosarcoma cell lines significantly reduced the anti-tumor effect of cytokine-induced killer cells. About 50% of T cells within the cytokine-induced killer population had an effector memory phenotype, 20% had a naïve phenotype and approximately 30% of the cells had a central memory phenotype. In addition, cytokine-induced killer cells expressed low levels of activation-induced markers CD69 and CD137 and demonstrated a low alloreactive potential. Conclusions: Our data suggest that cytokine-induced killer cells may be used as a novel adoptive immunotherapy for the treatment of patients with rhabdomyosarcoma after allogeneic stem cell transplantation.
- Mesenchymal stromal cells for treatment of steroid-refractory GvHD: a review of the literature and two pediatric cases (2011)
- Severe acute graft versus host disease (GvHD) is a life-threatening complication after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Human mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) play an important role in endogenous tissue repair and possess strong immune-modulatory properties making them a promising tool for the treatment of steroid-refractory GvHD. To date, a few reports exist on the use of MSCs in treatment of GvHD in children indicating that children tend to respond better than adults, albeit with heterogeneous results. We here present a review of the literature and the clinical course of two instructive pediatric patients with acute steroid-refractory GvHD after haploidentical stem cell transplantation, which exemplify the beneficial effects of third-party transplanted MSCs in treatment of acute steroid-refractory GvHD. Moreover, we provide a meta-analysis of clinical studies addressing the outcome of patients with steroid-refractory GvHD and treatment with MSCs in adults and in children (n = 183; 122 adults, 61 children). Our meta-analysis demonstrates that the overall response-rate is high (73.8%) and confirms, for the first time, that children indeed respond better to treatment of GvHD with MSCs than adults (complete response 57.4% vs. 45.1%, respectively). These data emphasize the significance of this therapeutic approach especially in children and indicate that future prospective studies are needed to assess the reasons for the observed differential response-rates in pediatric and adult patients. Additional file 1: MSCs expansion and release criteria.his file contains a detailed description of the MSCs expansion and release criteria for Case A and Case B.

Linen Short Anna Chair Slipcover 9 9
Great chairs I am not sure why they haven't changed the photo shown. The color of this slipcover has since changed. I purchased some a couple of years ago in the color shown and have recently added more chairs and slipcovers. When the slipcovers came I was in a panic...they were a lot darker and did not match the ones that I had or anything else in my home. They are not a creamy color anymore; more taupe and they have a bit of a yellow undertone. I tried to bleach one to see how it would turn out and it worked like a charm. They didn't bleach white...just more on the creamy side like what is shown. I love these chairs...they are so comfortable and having the slipcovers is ideal. March 1, 2015
Love these slipcovers! These slipcovers fit the Anna chairs really well, look great, and are reasonably priced. The linen color is a perfect neutral, but it is a little darker than my monitor shows. Spills have cleaned up easily so far. I definitely will purchase a darker set for fall just to switch it up. May 9, 2014
Nice dye blank I ordered some of the blue Anna slipcovers, but they were too grey for my taste so I exchanged them for the linen ones. Then I bought some Rit dye from Jo-Ann's Fabrics and put them through the washing machine dye process - bingo! Wonderful blue slipcovers. As a bonus, they shrank a tiny amount and now fit much better on the chairs. April 9, 2014
love these slipcovers, and the chairs I have had these slipcovers on the Anna chair for a year now, and have a 3 year old son and 2 year old nephew who eat at this table very often,and still haven't had them cleaned. I have 6 chairs and slipcovers. I got the linen, and when they sold it, the storm cloud sort of a grey blue color. I love the look and the durability of these slipcovers. Thinking about getting more.perfect. July 26, 2011
Belize outdoor furniture 4 piece set This set is great for a small area, I use it in a small inclosed porch, it really looks attractive. June 7, 2008
Great Product! We love these slipcovers (my husband too). They're easy to put on/take off, spot clean, wash, the fit is nice and they look great too! My only thumbs down is, like other reviews may have already stated, the linen color is darker than pictured online. The color we received were all uniform, but they were not as "white" as shown, they're more of a light cream linen color (still a lovely neutral color). In my photo the chair on the left is the slipcover and the right is the anna chair with nothing on it. September 10, 2013
Easy Assembly - great look Belize ! Was very easy to put together, all pieces fit well. Very well packaged to protect against damage. Pieces are a bit oily in the box, so assemble outside and not on carpet, as the instructions say. Instructions a bit brief on detail, but you can only put them together one way, so no way to mess it up. Looks great on the patio, but do buy the colorful throw pillows to go with it, as it looks a bit plain without them. All in all, a great buy at the price, and the store was helpful to put us on a waiting list as they were selling so fast ! June 7, 2008
Wobbly but workable I do like these chairs and they serve their purpose well but I wish they were a bit less wobbly. Only one screw in middle of the back of the seat holds it together and unless you constantly tighten it after a few uses the chair becomes quite loose. Two screws would fix the issue I think and be much more stable. January 4, 2014


text: Should Jones be suspended for this? He disparaged another fighter. "scum bag" and "sick freak" are equal on the insult meter. Are fighters going to be suspended every time they say something negative about another fighter, or is this like hate crimes where you get harsher punishment if the person you insult is different from you on some way?

Cultured Veggies
from The Body Ecology Diet by Donna Gates
Use organic clean veggies. After washing the veggies, spin them dry. Clean equipment is essential. Scald everything you use in very hot water.
1 head cabbage, shredded in a food processor or by hand-reserve 2 whole leaves
2 carrots, shredded in a food processor or by hand
1 inch piece of ginger, peeled and chopped
2 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped<--I would leave this out! To Make Cultured Vegetables: 1. combine all ingredients in a large bowl. 2. remove several cups of mixture and put into a blender. 3. add enough filtered water to make a "brine" the consistency of a thick juice. Blend well and then add brine back into first mixture. Stir well. 4. Pack mixture down into a glass or stainless steel, air tight container. Use your fist or a wooden dowel or a potato masher to pack veggies tightly. 5. Fill container almost full, but leave about 2 inches of room at the top for veggies to expand. 6. Roll up several cabbage leaves into a tight "log" and place them on top to fill the remaining 2 inches of space. Clamp jar closed. 7. let veggies sit at about a 70 degree room temperature for at least 3 days. A week is even better. Refrigerate to slow down fermentation. Enjoy 1/2 cup or more per day.

Aldo coach: "I want him to get immediate lightweight title shot" - Fighters Only
Nova Uniao headcoach Andre Pederneiras has heavily criticized the UFC for dropping lightweight Anthony Pettis down to the featherweight division to call out Jose Aldo for an immediate title shot.
Dede, as he is known in the fight business, also told Portal do Valetudo that he was opposed to the opportunity given to Frankie Edgar without him having fought at least once in the 145lbs division.
I am against it and a fighter cant be permitted to answer the question of who to fight, because Aldo would fight even versus [Cain] Velasquez if he was asked. So if things are like this, I also want him to be able to take on champions of other divisions. If he goes up for the lightweight belt, he is going to do the fight right away.
Not only Aldo, but I also want Ronny Markes to fiught direct for the belt. I am going to begin to drop my boys down in weight as well, he added, sarcastically. [I mean,] its not because you drop weight that youre going to suddenly come to fruition.
Edgars case: he put on good fights at 155 and they thought he would be a tank at featherweight. He should have been tested first, but they made the fight and we accepted it.
Regarding Aldos future, Pederneiras stated he will keep fighting as a featherweight but he can make superfights versus lightweight fighters.

I liked the looks and price, but reading the reviews made my decision much easier.
Good reviews and price.
Because my Mom asked me to get a plush robe for her birthday
My wife needs it and doesn't have any robes, and we needed to stay within budget
Sounds comfortable.
Have cancer needed a robe liked the looks......
nice and affordable
Looks so soft & comfortable.
Looks comfy and I use a lot of microfiber products.
Have it in Ivory & Purple. It is soft & comfy and at a good price....but doesn't hold up all that well (seams come apart/pocket came off). Old ones are already starting to look a little tattered. Would have gotten another purple too...but it is out of stock.
liked the color
Hopefully for the softness and the price is very fair
I want to buy this for my mom and I know this will not be too long for her since she is 4'11". However, because it is only available in a medium (size 6-8 I assume?), will this fit my mom or be too big since she is under 100 lbs. and very skinny?
Hello rvr245, A medium in women's would be considered size 8-10. I have provided a link to the Apparel Sizing chart for reference. http://www.overstock.com/sizing.html Thanks for shopping with us.
I am a size 10 and medium is loose. Personally, the length would be good but overall the robe width may be big
Don't buy this product. It is cheap quality and leaves lint everywhere.
Only medium size appears to be in ivory or black...do you expect any more in other colors? Thanks!
Hello lynxwoman, Items are restocked as they become available; however we cannot guarantee an Item will be restocked. Thank you for shopping with us. I will provide a link to all our bathrobes for women. http://www.overstock.com/search?keywords=bathrobe+woman&SearchType=Header
What's the length of this robe in inches?
These robes are 4 feet or 48 inches in length.
Could you wear this robe right after getting out of the shower? That is, would it absorb the water? Thx.
We think it would be perfect for that situation.
Yes, but not when I am dripping wet. I dried my hair and legs and had the towel around my torso first. Then wore the robe, and it worked great!
Is this roe unisex..
It is meant for women, but it can also be used by men.
what is the exact sizing of the xl robe?
This can be answered by our sizing guide. It can be found here: https://help.overstock.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/30

Citizen heads for 'Suppy Nation Tour'Written by Mike Bauman | | firstname.lastname@example.com
While the summer after high school graduation is seen by many as a last bastion of juvenile freedom prior to adulthood, Toledo native and 2012 Start High School graduate Nick Hamm experienced a different kind of freedom.
Instead of running amok in Northwest Ohio and putting thoughts of a looming fall semester of college courses in the back of his mind, Hamm traveled across the country this past summer with his brother Eric as part of their first national tour in local indie punk outfit Citizen.
"That first tour, it was pretty crazy because I don't think we had traveled west as a band," Hamm said. "I think the furthest we had been was, like, Chicago, so it was a lot of our first times seeing the country, and that was pretty crazy in itself."
Though it was Citizen's first time making it across the country, it wasn't the first time its music had reached a national audience, something Hamm and his bandmates discovered while on tour.
"There was one specific show where in California there was 200 people there, and it's so crazy because that's a similar crowd that we draw in Toledo," Hamm said.
"So it's pretty crazy to go out to a state that far for the first time and be playing for that many people that already know who you are and know your words and sing along.
"It's pretty wild, especially coming out of high school."
Citizen — Hamm (guitar), his brother Eric (bass), Ryland Oehlers (guitar), Cray Wilson (drums) and Mat Kerekes (vocals) — spent the better part of 2012 getting its name out to as many fans as possible. Since touring with Turnover and Light Years during the summer, the band has continued playing shows across the United States and even made its way into Canada. That live experience will continue in 2013 with what Hamm said will be Citizen's biggest tour yet. "The Suppy Nation Tour" kicks off in March with The Story So Far, Man Overboard, Tonight Alive and The American Scene.
"It's going to be pretty crazy," Hamm said of "The Suppy Nation Tour." "There's going to be hundreds of people there every night and it won't, like, come down on us if a show's not good, but I don't think we're going to have to worry about it at all for this tour.
"The Story So Far and Man Overboard both have huge fan bases, so it's going to be really cool to support a tour like that rather than headline or be one of the bands that the draws are determined by."
Prior to heading out on the road again for "The Suppy Nation Tour," Citizen will play a hometown gig at Frankie's Inner City on Feb. 3. That performance will be followed by a trip to Conshohocken, Pa., on Feb. 9, where the band will begin recording its debut, full-length album with producer Will Yip (CKY, Papa Roach, The Wonder Years).
"He's got so much experience and it's cool that he's still helping out smaller bands because his production quality is good enough to be doing whatever he wants to, so it's really cool," Hamm said of Yip. "And the studio that he works at is pretty legendary. It's had anywhere from Bob Dylan to Boys II Men record there, so it's pretty crazy."
Hamm said Citizen will record with Yip from Feb. 9 until March 1 before getting ready to head out on "The Suppy Nation Tour," which will close at Headlines on April 13 as part of Jamboree.
"I think it's going to be an early summer release, and we've got a lot of songs ready for it," Hamm said of Citizen's forthcoming full-length album. "I think it's definitely the best music we've written thus far, so we're all excited about it."
Having done the amount of touring Citizen has in the past year, Hamm said, road experiences like seeing the Grand Canyon and traveling the country together have only made the band stronger and brought its members closer.
"We drove 10 hours out of the way to go and we got there right as the sun was rising," Hamm said of Citizen's visit to the Grand Canyon. "So it was really insane to see something that you only see on TV and all that, so that was pretty crazy."
On Feb. 3, Citizen will perform at a show that also features Dead End Path, Build and Destroy, Freedom and Arrows at Frankie's, 308 Main St. Tickets are $8 in advance and $10 at the door. Advance tickets are available at all Ticketmaster outlets, as well as locally at Culture Clash Records (419-536-LOVE) and RamaLama Records (419-531-ROCK). Doors are at 6 p.m. and all ages are welcome.

Oh the drama! Super Ads go epicBy MAE ANDERSON
The Associated Press | February 05,2013AP Photo
The Super Bowl advertisement by Hyundai Motor Groups Kia. In the advertisment, Kia invents a fanciful way that babies are made, blasting in from a baby planet in its Space babies ad for the 2014 Sorento crossover.NEW YORK Super Bowl ads this year morphed into mini soap operas.
Dwayne The Rock Johnson shrugged off aliens so he could get more milk for his kids in a Super Bowl spot for the Milk Processor Education Program. Anheuser-Buschs commercial told the story of a Clydesdale colt growing up and returning to his owner for a heartfelt hug years later. And a Jeep ad portrayed the trials and triumphs of people waiting for the return of their family members.
The reason for all the drama off the field? With 30-second spots going for as much as $4 million and more than 111 million viewers expected to tune in, marketers are constantly looking for ways to make their ads stand out. And its increasingly difficult to captivate viewers with short-form plots involving babies, celebrities, sex and humor unless theres a compelling story attached.
Tear-jerking mini epics
Chrysler started the long-format commercial trend last year, with a two-minute spot starring Clint Eastwood that became very popular.
This year, Chrysler led the trend again with its two-minute salute to troops and their families. The ad featured Oprah Winfrey reading a letter from the Jeep brand to encourage families to stay hopeful.
Anheuser-Busch also pulled at heartstrings with a spot about a Clydesdale colt growing up and moving away from his farm and his trainer who raised him from birth. Years later, the trainer drives to Chicago to see the horse in a parade. The horse spots his trainer and gallops toward him, nuzzling him fondly as the trainer hugs him.
User-inspired tales
Lincolns 90-second ad was inspired by tweets by fans about road trips. The company asked people to send their stories, and Jimmy Fallon, host of NBCs Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, decided on which tales would be used.
The ad, which was based on more than 6,000 tweets from fans, shows adventures during a fictional road trip. A woman picks up a German hitchhiker, and they go to an alpaca farm, get stopped by turtles crossing the road, and drive through a movie set.
Comedy goes long
Samsungs two-minute ad showed Seth Rogen (The Guilt Trip) and Paul Rudd (Role Models) getting called in to do a Next Big Thing ad for Samsung. But theyre agitated once they realize that theyre sharing the spotlight. LeBron James, an NBA basketball player for the Miami Heat, makes a cameo, appearing on the screen of a tablet.
Budweiser, a long-time Super Bowl advertiser, also told a continuing story in two of its ads. One showed rival 49ers and Ravens fans each creating a voodoo doll for the other team with the help of R&B legend Stevie Wonder. In the other ad, fans go to great lengths to curse a rival fans lucky chair.
Its only weird if it doesnt work, the words in the ad read.
Not all ads tells a story
Although many advertisers tried to pull people in with lengthy story lines, there were a few that stuck with short, quirky spots with no particular plot.
GoDaddy.coms ad was one of them. It showed a close up, extended kiss between supermodel Bar Refaeli and a nerdy guy wearing glasses to illustrate GoDaddys combo of sexy and smart.
Some viewers thought the ad was too explicit for the Super Bowl.
I dont care who wins the game. I just dont want to see that commercial again, ever, said Stephen G. Smith, 63, an editor at The Washington Times in Washington, D.C.
Stephanie Malone from DeKalb, Ill., agreed: GoDaddy should be ashamed.MORE IN National / World BusinessNike came out with a new product last Tuesday, an updated and for my feet more comfortable... Full StoryTalks for Pacific trade deal stall Full StoryWASHINGTON U.S. Full Story

Women's Soccer Preview
- Release Date:
- September 6, 2011
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
The 2011 women's soccer players, under the direction of new head coach Kelly Starchok-Gillow and assistant coaches Jenna Ferrando and Christa Windhorst, are excited to begin a new era of Hilbert soccer. They have a guiding motto, a training principle, which they must live up to each and every day. "What ever it takes" is said with pride and excitement.
The Hawks have a good blend of talented athletes in every class but hope that the graduating seniors will leave their mark on the program. The squad will be led by tri-captains: senior Alyssa Hulbert, junior Nicole Blair and sophomore Sarah Schmidt. Hulbert will lead the team with her knowledge and passion for the game. Her technical ability is top-notch and this will make her very dangerous on the ball. The Hawks need her to continue to put the ball in the back of the net as she has done in previous years most recently being named as a 2010 1st Team AMCC All-Conference player. Hulbert earned 25 of the 40 team points earned in 2010. Blair is an integral part of the team's defensive back line. She leads with her composure on and off the field and her dedication and commitment to succeed is undeniable. Schmidt is the player that leads by example. Her work ethic in the midfield is contagious and she gets her team mates to play around her. Schmidt's skill on the ball will help assist in the team moving forward in the attack.
The remaining seniors who coach Starchok-Gillow expects good things from are Julie Bossard, Kayla Norman, Jessie Roland-Bystrak, and Mary Zinni. Bossard will continue to use her experience and determination in the midfield; Norman is the team's utility player as she uses her quickness and foot-skills everywhere on the field; Roland-Bystrak returns up front as a hard-working attacker; and Zinni returns as a 4-year starter in goal. She is a focused worker, who uses her athleticism between the pipes to her advantage. Joining the team this year as a first-year soccer player is senior Jill Martucci who will rely on soccer skills from four seasons ago as a senior at Hamburg high school.
The Hawks expect that sophomore Robbi Bailey will lead the front-line charge along with Martucci and Roland-Bystrack. Bailey is the team's fastest and smoothest player working at full speed who coach Starchok-Gillow will game plan to get behind the defenders and go to goal.
Roaming the midfield with Bossard will be junior Rebecca Elensky, and sophomore Amber Bailey. They will support the front line and help defend along with juniors Katie Newton, and Amber Grosch, Jessica Morey, Maria DelMonaco and sophomore Nicole Estep.
The new comers to the program are Kateland Ball, Brana Cline and Megan VanNorman. All three rookies bring speed and aggressiveness and will add depth and support to this year's team.
The Hawks open their season with back to back road games in Ohio when they face Hiram and Mount Union opening weekend. They return for their home-opener with the men's team against Wells on September 7. September 13 they host their only other non-conference game against Alfred. Road non-conference games for the Hawks will be at Penn State Beaver (9/11), Clarkson (9/18), Chatham (9/20) and Thiel (9/22) before AMCC league play begins. Greensburg, Bradford, Mount Aloysius, D'Youville and Penn State Altoona all travel to Hamburg for their AMCC game. Hilbert must bus to Franciscan, La Roche and Penn State Behrend before they end their league play at Medaille College in North Buffalo at the All-High Stadium on Main Street.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

- Transverse pressure and strangeness dynamics in relativistic heavy-ion reactions (2005)
- Transverse hadron spectra from proton-proton, proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions from 2 AGeV to 21.3 ATeV are investigated within two independent transport approaches (HSD and UrQMD). For central Au+Au (Pb+Pb) collisions at energies above E lab ~ 5 AGeV, the measured K +- transverse mass spectra have a larger inverse slope parameter than expected from the default calculations. The additional pressure - as suggested by lattice QCD calculations at finite quark chemical potential mu q and temperature T - might be generated by strong interactions in the early pre-hadronic/partonic phase of central Au+Au (Pb+Pb) collisions. This is supported by a non-monotonic energy dependence of v2/pT in the present transport model.

I have most of my answers now. Thank you all for helping me. It seemed the biggest thing she had trouble with, was she believes, like most people, that once you die that's it, there's no second chance to be converted.I told her to tell me what verse in the bible says that. Even I have searched for one, and there isn't one.
I wasn't able to get to the true purpose of the LoF, I don't know if I will bring it up again, I just wanted to make sure she didn't think I was insane, going to hell, etc. She and my Dad believe very strongly in going to a church, having communion, and other stuff like that.
They also are very strong believers in fighting, and going to war for what you believe in. I don't know. They think, especially my Mom, that this country was founded on Christian principles, and God blessed this country, until abortion got started. I believe abortion is wrong, but I fail to see how this country was founded on Christianity, with all the wars that were fought, and all the people that died, to get this country started.
They really dislike pacifists. I'm not a pacifist, I believe in self defense, but I'm opposed to war in most circumstances.
but my Mom said only a pansy would not want to fight for freedom. (Her words, not mine.)
Only the ones who truly reject God, and the really evil people, or something like that. I don't know. She said she never thought about it.
She's not as open to the idea as I had thought. She believes in hell, but she doesn't think all the people the church says will go there will. Only the ones who truly reject God, and the really evil people, or something like that.
I don't know. She said she never thought about it. That's how she is; instead of trying to reason things out, she just rather not think about them. She's also, as you (WW) said, not willing to give up the beliefs she's had all her life.
I haven't really talked to my Dad about it, I don't really want to ether. He would probably say the same thing, but he wouldn't be upset if that's what I wanted to believe. My Dad and Mom are very different, sort of. My Mom was always that "good Christian girl". Never missed church, etc. She also has, kind of an illusion about the past. Anything that her church (Presbyterian) did when she was a little girl in the 60s is the best way, in her mind. My Dad was different, he was always a Christian, but he was more laid back about it. My Mom was the fundie, while he was the "love God and love your neighbor and everything will work out" kind of guy.
That's what I've been told by my (much) older sister. After he married my Mom, he became more like her. I'm not trying to paint my Mom in a bad light, just trying to show you how she thinks.
Anyway, I'm just not going to talk to them about it. If God calls them to believe it, it's God's duty.

'Maroon Edition' Habitat home to be dedicated
Mississippi State and Starkville Area Habitat for Humanity volunteers and officials will dedicate the newly complete Maroon Edition Habitat for Humanity house at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 20.
A service learning component of the university's Maroon Edition First-Year Reading Experience, this year's project benefits Daphne Walton and her five children.
The new residence is at 276 Steadman Lane. A tour will be given at the conclusion of the program.
Program speakers include MSU President Mark E. Keenum; Meggan Franks, MSU student leadership program coordinator; and the Rev. Grant Arinder, of Calvary Baptist Church.
Keenum will present the Walton family with a homeowner Bible, and Franks will present an MSU quilt made by Starkville resident Dot Livingston.
Students in the School of Architecture designed this year's house, with additional modifications to meet budget constraints.
MSU student volunteers and members of the Starkville community have worked on the house each Friday and Saturday of the fall semester. The campus Maroon Volunteer Center coordinated the student volunteer efforts.

Are you tired of going office daily? Earn 50$ per hour working from home with Google! I get paid over $87 per hour working from home with 2 kids at home. I never thought I'd be able to do it but my best friend earns over 10k a month doing this and she convinced me to try. The potential with this is endless. Here is what I've been doing, www.Google.fab17.com
(click on 'Home' for details)
The coupon code should still be valid when we launch internationally :)
Beginning of February!
That Lamborghini charges what they do for an Aventador isn't ideal either, since I can't afford it, but it's the reality of the market. We all wish to get paid more and charged less, but those things can't exist in the same universe.
For the work they do, AnoStyle's price is pretty good. (I can't even imagine how much work it is, never mind how much the equipment costs, to anodize an iPhone with consistency and precision).
For $249.00?? yeah no thanks! add to the fact that in order to enjoy it, you would have to have, your iphone 5 exposed to the elements. That's crazy talk. The colors are awesome, but this is only practical or logical if Apple provided the colors from the go. Spend 600 on a phone to then pay 250 to change it's color?? That's one of those "Only in America!"

I wasn't going to blog this quilt since this is the ump-teenth time I've shown you a quilt like this…..but after sitting through an agonizing hour(s?) of quilting I needed someone to grumble too. And you my friends…are that someone.
I love the look of straight line quilting but it is torture for me. Seriously…I hate it. Next time I need to get a good book to listen to.
I actually made this quilt awhile ago…but it wasn't until I was boxing it up and sending it off to its new owner that I remembered how much I like the finished quilting. Luckily straight line quilting is kind of like having a baby for me….pretty soon I'll forget all about the pain and want to do it again. Or not. We'll see. Also…
The winner of the giveaway is Mickey White ( I sent you an email!).
And I have to say hello to my new friend Pam from North Carolina that I met in Joanns on Friday who is getting married today! Congrat's Pam! :)

Interesting Things
- The team whose CI build was running Bundler too many times addressed this by wrapping
bundle installin a conditional using
bundle check.
This saved about three minutes of build time (from what used to be 11ish runs of bundle install instead of bundle check.)
- Websocksets are easy, use them if you need to 'push' to your webapp and your server can handle many persistent connections.
This was in reaction to some recent conversation between Pivots about Pusher, which will keep persistent connections on your behalf.

Interpretive Handbook
61264 :
CPOX Gene, Known Mutation
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Hereditary coproporphyria (HCP) is an autosomal dominant (AD) acute hepatic porphyria that presents with clinical attacks of neurologic dysfunction, commonly characterized as abdominal pain. However, these acute attacks are variable and can include vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, urinary retention, acute episodes of neuropathic symptoms, psychiatric symptoms, seizures, respiratory paralysis, tachycardia, and hypertension. Respiratory paralysis can progress to coma and death. HCP is also associated with cutaneous manifestations, including edema, sun-induced erythema, acute painful photodermatitis, and urticarial. In some cases, patients present with isolated photosensitivity.
HCP is caused by AD mutations in the CPOX gene. Mutations may have incomplete penetrance. Homozygous mutations in CPOX have been reported in association with a more severe, phenotypically distinct condition called harderoporphyria that is characterized by neonatal hemolytic anemia with mild residual anemia during childhood and adulthood. Affected patients may also present with skin lesions and fecal harderoporphyin accumulation may be observed. This condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern and all patients identified to date have been heterozygous or homozygous for the K404E mutation.
For HCP, acute attacks may be prevented by avoiding both endogenous and exogenous triggers. These triggers include porphyrogenic drugs, hormonal contraceptives, fasting, alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis.
Fecal porphyrins analysis and quantitative urinary porphyrins analysis are helpful in distinguishing HCP from other forms of acute porphyria.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Predictive testing for hereditary coproporphyria or harderoporphyria when mutation in the CPOX gene has been identified in an affected family member
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
An interpretive report will be provided.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
The identification of a disease-causing mutation in an affected family member is necessary before predictive testing for other family members can be offered. If a familial mutation has not been previously identified, order CPOXS / CPOX Gene, Full Gene Analysis.
Analysis is performed for the familial mutation provided only. This assay does not rule-out the presence of other mutations within this gene or within other genes that may be associated with porphyria.
Test results should be interpreted in the context of clinical findings, family history, and other laboratory data. Any error in the diagnosis or in the pedigree provided to us, including false paternity, could lead to erroneous interpretation of results.
A previous bone marrow transplant from an allogenic donor will interfere with testing. Call Mayo Medical Laboratories for instructions for testing patients who have received a bone marrow transplant.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

Robotic Vacuums
Why Choose a Robotic Vacuum Cleaner?
Imagine a vacuum cleaner that does not require you to undertake cleaning as you do with a traditional vacuum cleaner, one that operates using a computer system to clean your home. Sounds too good to be true? The range of robotic vacuum cleaners does just that. Obviously one of the best advantages of using a robotic vacuum cleaner is the time and convenience it provides. Simply hit the switch and watch it clean your home without any effort from your end. As long as you give it a good clean down when it has accomplished its cleaning job, you don't have to worry too much about its maintenance. Some models of robotic cleaners have the option to clean when you are away, so you always have a nice, clean home to come back to. You don't have to worry if the robotic vacuum cleaner will work on your floor, because it works on vinyl, tiles, carpet or floor boards in your home. It's compact and easy to store so you don't have to worry about making room for a robotic vacuum cleaner in your home.
GoVacuum's Wide Range of Robotic Vacuum Cleaners
Now that you know that these cleaners are infact an ideal option for anyone looking to save time on house cleaning tasks, you'll want to know where you can find one. As with most vacuum cleaning systems, you will need to arrive at the power and performance you need in the robotic cleaner. Cleaning coverage and dirt detection capacities also vary, so you will need to choose one based on your budget. Maintence is simple but you'll need to know a reliable source for replacement brushes and filters for robotic vacuums. GoVacuum is the Internet subsidiary of Vacuums Unlimited, and the site can help you find information and purchase robotic vacuums that suit your need an budget.

Pocket Compass Sundial - George Bass, circa 1790 Reg. No: HT 29959
- Summary:
- Pocket compass sundial used by George Bass on the whaleboat expedition that explored the coast of Victoria as far as Westernport Bay, 1797-98. The expedition provided the first European sighting of Wilsons Promontory and suggested the existence of Bass Strait separating Tasmania from the Australian mainland.
The pocket compass and sundial was manufactured in London by the eminent optical instrument maker Peter Dollond. After its use by Bass it was passed on through the family of Elizabeth Waterhouse, Bass' wife, before being purchased at auction in 1998 by Victorian surgeon William F. Wilson as part of an extensive collection relating to George Bass.
- Description:
- Pocket compass sundial. The sundial made of brass, is moveable with a moveable arm that is hinged to the top of the compass. The compass is made of both brass and steel and has a glass lid and blue coloured dial.
- Statement Of Significance:
- This compass is a unique item of national significance to the early maritime exploration of Australia and in particular the Victorian coastline and Tasmania.
The compass was used by George Bass and his crew of six on the expedition in an unnamed whaleboat from Sydney to Westernport Bay between December 1797 and February 1798. This was the first European voyage to explore the Victorian coastline between Point Hicks and Westernport Bay. Notable features include the first European sighting of Wilsons Promontory, and the discovery and naming of Westernport Bay. The length of the voyage undertaken in an open boat, over 3000 kilometres, made Bass's skills in navigation and seafaring highly regarded at the time.
The voyage provided the strongest evidence to date that Tasmania was an island, separate from the mainland. Bass actually attempted a crossing of the strait on this voyage south of Wilsons promontory but bad weather forced him to turn back. Together with Matthew Flinders' separate voyage to the Furneaux Islands in February 1798, the whaleboat voyage prompted the mission to circumnavigate Tasmania undertaken by Bass and Flinders in the Norfolk between October 1798 and January 1799. After this voyage Flinders proposed naming the strait between Tasmania and the mainland Basses Strait (later Bass Strait) in honour of his friend's whaleboat voyage.
The provenance of the pocket compass and sundial before the whaleboat journey is not known, however presumably it travelled to New South Wales in 1795 aboard either the Reliance or the Supply. The pocket compass returned to England with George Bass in 1800. It then came into the possession of Elizabeth Waterhouse, who married Bass in September 1800, along with a note from Henry Waterhouse, captain of the Reliance, explaining the significance of the object. The compass was passed on through this family until sold at auction in 1998.

Water Supply & Treatment
Our shared waters
The Cedar River Municipal Watershed is 90,638 acres of land owned by the City of Seattle. The watershed is carefully managed to supply clean drinking water to 1.4 million people in the greater Seattle area as well as downstream water flows for salmon, lakes and locks.
99.9% of the lands within the watershed's hydrographic basin, from the Cascade Crest along the north and south ridges and downstream to Landsburg diversion dam are owned and protected for water supply, flows and habitat protection.
Quality water
The City of Seattle is required by law to maintain a clean drinking water supply.
To that end the City restricts public access and management is guided by a Habitat Conservation Plan. The Cedar River Watershed is an unfiltered surface water supply which produces some of the best water in the world.
Cedar River water is:
- Screened to remove debris
- Chlorinated to remove microbial contaminants, such as bacteria and viruses
- Fluoridated for dental health protection
- Ozonated for odor and taste improvements and Giardia control
- Ultraviolet disinfected to disable microbial contaminants such as chlorine resistant Cryptosporidium
- Supplemented with lime for pH adjusted corrosion control to minimize lead leaching in older plumbing systems.
Cedar River water meets or exceeds all federal standards for drinking water. Daily, more than 50 samples are tested before and after treatment at Seattle Public Utilities water quality lab for a variety of waterborne disease indicators, minerals, chemicals and contaminants.
From mountain forests to faucet
Melting snow and rain are gathered and stored in two reservoirs -- Chester Morse Lake and the Masonry Pool created by the Masonry Dam. Built in 1914, the dam diverts the water into two large 78 inch penstocks. The penstocks drop water 620 feet to the hydroelectric power plant at Cedar Falls, the birthplace of Seattle City Light.
The water is released back into the river, and continues flowing 12 more miles to Landsburg diversion dam. At Landsburg, on average 22% of the river becomes drinking water and it is screened, chlorinated and fluoridated before being sent to Lake Youngs. At Lake Youngs it is ozonated, exposed to ultraviolet light and lime and additional chlorine are added.
78% of the Cedar River's annual flow continues past Landsburg down the Cedar River into Maple Valley through Lake Washington, Lake Union and out through the Chittenden Locks in Ballard to the Puget Sound.
Water, water everywhere
Only 22% of the annual water flow from the watershed is used for drinking water.
The rest is dedicated to many things, including flows needed for salmon. Water levels in the Cedar River below Landsburg must be kept at healthy levels for proper seasonal spawning, hatching and rearing needs for salmon. The Cedar River is home to four salmon species; Chinook, Coho, sockeye and steelhead.
Other uses include Lake Washington and the Chittenden Locks. Seawater is heavier than fresh water and will creep into Lake Union through the locks, so a certain amount of fresh water always has to be let out. When there are long lines of boats at the locks in the summer, it is because fresh water released up stream is restricted to store anticipated drinking water and for early fall salmon flows.
Balancing act
Predicting the water supply is as difficult as predicting the weather. Managing the water supply is a delicate balancing act. In an average precipitation year, the two reservoirs have just enough water storage for one water cycle year.
If not enough water is released in the winter, there could be flooding. If too much is released, there won't be enough stored for the dry summer months.
Water levels have to be kept low in fall and winter for flood control, yet drought conditions in the spring could prevent the reservoir from filling adequately.
Salmon, lakes, locks, and people all share the same limited amount of water gathered and stored in the Cedar River watershed.

In honor of National Foster Care Month, the KidsPeace Raleigh, NC,
Foster Care and Community Programs office is celebrating the work that our families are doing with the
children/teens placed in their homes. Families enter a weekly drawing to win a
gift card by answering a "Question of the Week." We thought that sharing their
thoughts with you would help us honor them further and display how the work
they do daily is giving hope, help and healing to our children, families and
communities. A few of the responses appear below:
Question of the Week for May 3rd:
What do you see as your main
strength as a Foster Parent?
I am very passionate about young
people and often have difficulty defining what many may consider my
"strength" as a Foster Parent. I will say that I always meet the youth
where they are with respect to assuring them that regardless of their
circumstances that we can work together to find viable solutions and identify
the appropriate resources to assist them with moving forward. I believe in
empowering youth and equipping them with skills and processes to achieve goals
and master accomplishments. I am a good listener and I only offer solutions
when prompted by the individual. I strive to provide opportunities wherein
youth can utilize their abilities to problem solve and create positive outcomes
with limited assistance from adults. This process creates strengthened self-esteem
and a new-found awareness of how to deal with adversities and challenges. Youth
are our most valuable asset, and the process by which we lend our talents,
skills and experiences as adults helps prepare them for this journey called
life. There is no blueprint for being a foster parent, but there are
definitely best practices...and they seem to work for me. Evelyn S.
Question of the Week for May 10th:
Tell us about a special memory that
you have of a child placed in your home (past or present).
The first thing I thought of when
I read this question was Christmas morning 2008 with S.J. We were at my
sister's house and all my family was there. S. was sitting on the couch beside
me not expecting any gifts since we had celebrated our family Christmas before
going to my sister's home in Virginia.
I will never forget the look on her face when she got her first gift
from one of my sisters, she almost cried. I don't think she could understand
how complete strangers could accept her and treat her like one of the family so
easily. It was wonderful and she had a great day. Sandy C.
A special memory of a child that
was placed in my home is when this child took the time to say thank you for all
that you are doing for me. She acknowledged the fact that, although her
biological parents were not there for her, she still had a chance. She said to
me she felt as though she has a chance as long as she keeps in touch with her
foster family. Theresa S.
May is Foster Care Month, a time to say "Thank you" to foster families and staff member who place children in safe, supportive foster homes. KidsPeace has foster care offices across the country that specialize in placing regular and treatment foster care children with well trained, well matched families who provide wonderful care and positive environments to children from all backgrounds.
"We show our appreciation to our dedicated foster parents throughout the year, but, in May, we try to reach out and thank these families with special events, picnics, dinners and individual recognition of all that they do," says KidsPeace Executive Director of Foster Care and Community Programs Ray Culp. "It takes very special people to open their hearts and homes to children who have been separated from their families and need adults to give them structure and guidance during a very difficult time in their lives."
Foster families provide homes for children who are stepping down from residential treatment facilities, have been removed from their homes because of abuse, neglect or emotional, mental or physical issues that cannot be addressed in their homes. They often require many types of treatment and counseling outside the foster home, and foster parents spend many hours driving them to appointments, participating in counseling sessions and taking them to visit family members. It is not an easy job, and many children take a long time to adjust and learn to trust their foster families.
There is a growing number of older children and teens who need foster homes, and these kids who need the care the most are often the hardest to place. These children need assistance learning independent living skills, planning their educations, or finding employment after they have graduated. KidsPeace assists foster children prepare for the future and stresses the importance of education and training.
KidsPeace foster care offices actively recruit foster parents through a variety of media and then carefully screen these volunteers and provide extensive training to help them care for the children who will live in their homes. Our associates are available 24/7 to assist foster families and children with any questions, issues or services that may be needed.
During this special awareness month, KidsPeace Foster Care encourages adults who are over 21, have flexible schedules, can provide privacy and supervision, have a means of support, have room in their homes and hearts and a means of transportation to contact us to learn more about becoming a foster parent. Call 866-454-3773 for more information or visit the foster care page on this site.
We thank the hundreds of foster parents who provide love and support to our foster children and acknowledge the hard work and loving care they give our children and teens every day.
