- Vitamin D levels vary during antiviral treatment but are unable to predict treatment outcome in HCV genotype 1 infected patients (2014)
- Background: Different parameters have been determined for prediction of treatment outcome in hepatitis c virus genotype 1 infected patients undergoing pegylated interferon, ribavirin combination therapy. Results on the importance of vitamin D levels are conflicting. In the present study, a comprehensive analysis of vitamin D levels before and during therapy together with single nucleotide polymorphisms involved in vitamin D metabolism in the context of other known treatment predictors has been performed. Methods: In a well characterized prospective cohort of 398 genotype 1 infected patients treated with pegylated interferon-α and ribavirin for 24–72 weeks (INDIV-2 study) 25-OH-vitamin D levels and different single nucleotide polymorphisms were analyzed together with known biochemical parameters for a correlation with virologic treatment outcome. Results: Fluctuations of more than 5 (10) ng/ml in 25-OH-vitamin D-levels have been observed in 66 (39) % of patients during the course of antiviral therapy and neither pretreatment nor under treatment 25-OH-vitamin D-levels were associated with treatment outcome. The DHCR7-TT-polymorphism within the 7-dehydrocholesterol-reductase showed a significant association (P = 0.031) to sustained viral response in univariate analysis. Among numerous further parameters analyzed we found that age (OR = 1.028, CI = 1.002–1.056, P = 0.035), cholesterol (OR = 0.983, CI = 0.975–0.991, P<0.001), ferritin (OR = 1.002, CI = 1.000–1.004, P = 0.033), gGT (OR = 1.467, CI = 1.073–2.006, P = 0.016) and IL28B-genotype (OR = 2.442, CI = 1.271–4.695, P = 0.007) constituted the strongest predictors of treatment response. Conclusions: While 25-OH-vitamin D-levels levels show considerable variations during the long-lasting course of antiviral therapy they do not show any significant association to treatment outcome in genotype 1 infected patients.
- PEG-IFN alpha but not ribavirin alters NK cell phenotype and function in patients with chronic hepatitis C (2014)
- Background: Ribavirin (RBV) remains part of several interferon-free treatment strategies even though its mechanisms of action are still not fully understood. One hypothesis is that RBV increases responsiveness to type I interferons. Pegylated Interferon alpha (PEG-IFNa) has recently been shown to alter natural killer (NK) cell function possibly contributing to control of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. However, the effects of ribavirin alone or in combination with IFNa on NK cells are unknown. Methods: Extensive ex vivo phenotyping and functional analysis of NK cells from hepatitis C patients was performed during antiviral therapy. Patients were treated for 6 weeks with RBV monotherapy (n = 11), placebo (n = 13) or PEG-IFNa-2a alone (n = 6) followed by PEG-IFNa/RBV combination therapy. The effects of RBV and PEG-IFNa-2a on NK cells were also studied in vitro after co-culture with K562 or Huh7.5 cells. Results: Ribavirin monotherapy had no obvious effects on NK cell phenotype or function, neither ex vivo in patients nor in vitro. In contrast, PEG-IFNa-2a therapy was associated with an increase of CD56bright cells and distinct changes in expression profiles leading to an activated NK cell phenotype, increased functionality and decline of terminally differentiated NK cells. Ribavirin combination therapy reduced some of the IFN effects. An activated NK cell phenotype during therapy was inversely correlated with HCV viral load. Conclusions: PEG-IFNa activates NK cells possibly contributing to virological responses independently of RBV. The role of NK cells during future IFN-free combination therapies including RBV remains to be determined.
- Predictive value of interferon-lambda gene polymorphisms for treatment response in chronic hepatitis C (2014)
- Background: IL28B gene polymorphism is the best baseline predictor of response to interferon alfa-based antiviral therapies in chronic hepatitis C. Recently, a new IFN-L4 polymorphism was identified as first potential functional variant for induction of IL28B expression. Individualization of interferon alfa-based therapies based on a combination of IL28B/IFN-L4 polymorphisms may help to optimize virologic outcome and economic resources. Methods: Optimization of treatment outcome prediction was assessed by combination of different IL28B and IFN-L4 polymorphisms in patients with chronic HCV genotype 1 (n = 385), 2/3 (n = 267), and 4 (n = 220) infection treated with pegylated interferon alfa (PEG-IFN) and ribavirin with (n = 79) or without telaprevir. Healthy people from Germany (n = 283) and Egypt (n = 96) served as controls. Results: Frequencies of beneficial IL28B rs12979860 C/C genotypes were lower in HCV genotype 1/4 infected patients in comparison to controls (20–35% vs. 46–47%) this was also true for ss469415590 TT/TT (20–35% vs. 45–47%). Single interferon-lambda SNPs (rs12979860, rs8099917, ss469415590) correlated with sustained virologic response (SVR) in genotype 1, 3, and 4 infected patients while no association was observed for genotype 2. Interestingly, in genotype 3 infected patients, best SVR prediction was based on IFN-L4 genotype. Prediction of SVR with high accuracy (71–96%) was possible in genotype 1, 2, 3 and 4 infected patients who received PEG-IFN/ribavirin combination therapy by selection of beneficial IL28B rs12979860 C/C and/or ss469415590 TT/TT genotypes (p<0.001). For triple therapy with first generation protease inhibitors (PIs) (boceprevir, telaprevir) prediction of high SVR (90%) rates was based on the presence of at least one beneficial genotype of the 3 IFN-lambda SNPs. Conclusion: IFN-L4 seems to be the best single predictor of SVR in genotype 3 infected patients. For optimized prediction of SVR by treatment with dual combination or first generation PI triple therapies, grouping of interferon-lambda haplotypes may be helpful with positive predictive values of 71–96%.
- Baseline MELD score predicts hepatic decompensation during antiviral therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis C and advanced cirrhosis (2013)
- Background and Aims: In patients with advanced liver cirrhosis due to chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection antiviral therapy with peginterferon and ribavirin is feasible in selected cases only due to potentially life-threatening side effects. However, predictive factors associated with hepatic decompensation during antiviral therapy are poorly defined. Methods: In a retrospective cohort study, 68 patients with HCV-associated liver cirrhosis (mean MELD score 9.18±2.72) were treated with peginterferon and ribavirin. Clinical events indicating hepatic decompensation (onset of ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, upper gastrointestinal bleeding, hospitalization) as well as laboratory data were recorded at baseline and during a follow up period of 72 weeks after initiation of antiviral therapy. To monitor long term sequelae of end stage liver disease an extended follow up for HCC development, transplantation and death was applied (240weeks, ±SD 136weeks). Results: Eighteen patients (26.5%) achieved a sustained virologic response. During the observational period a hepatic decompensation was observed in 36.8%. Patients with hepatic decompensation had higher MELD scores (10.84 vs. 8.23, p<0.001) and higher mean bilirubin levels (26.74 vs. 14.63 µmol/l, p<0.001), as well as lower serum albumin levels (38.2 vs. 41.1 g/l, p = 0.015), mean platelets (102.64 vs. 138.95/nl, p = 0.014) and mean leukocytes (4.02 vs. 5.68/nl, p = 0.002) at baseline as compared to those without decompensation. In the multivariate analysis the MELD score remained independently associated with hepatic decompensation (OR 1.56, 1.18–2.07; p = 0.002). When the patients were grouped according to their baseline MELD scores, hepatic decompensation occurred in 22%, 59%, and 83% of patients with MELD scores of 6–9, 10–13, and >14, respectively. Baseline MELD score was significantly associated with the risk for transplantation/death (p<0.001). Conclusions: Our data suggest that the baseline MELD score predicts the risk of hepatic decompensation during antiviral therapy and thus contributes to decision making when antiviral therapy is discussed in HCV patients with advanced liver cirrhosis.
- SEMS vs cSEMS in duodenal and small bowel obstruction: High risk of migration in the covered stent group (2013)
- AIM: To compare clinical success and complications of uncovered self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) vs covered SEMS (cSEMS) in obstruction of the small bowel. METHODS: Technical success, complications and outcome of endoscopic SEMS or cSEMS placement in tumor related obstruction of the duodenum or jejunum were retrospectively assessed. The primary end points were rates of stent migration and overgrowth. Secondary end points were the effect of concomitant biliary drainage on migration rate and overall survival. The data was analyzed according to the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology guidelines. RESULTS: Thirty-two SEMS were implanted in 20 patients. In all patients, endoscopic stent implantation was successful. Stent migration was observed in 9 of 16 cSEMS (56%) in comparison to 0/16 SEMS (0%) implantations (P = 0.002). Stent overgrowth did not significantly differ between the two stent types (SEMS: 3/16, 19%; cSEMS: 2/16, 13%). One cSEMS dislodged and had to be recovered from the jejunum by way of laparotomy. Time until migration between SEMS and cSEMS in patients with and without concomitant biliary stents did not significantly differ (HR = 1.530, 95%CI 0.731-6.306; P = 0.556). The mean follow-up was 57 ± 71 d (range: 1-275 d). CONCLUSION: SEMS and cSEMS placement is safe in small bowel tumor obstruction. However, cSEMS is accompanied with a high rate of migration in comparison to uncovered SEMS.
- Assessment of liver fibrosis and associated risk factors in HIV-infected individuals using transient elastography and serum biomarkers (2012)
- Background: Liver fibrosis in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals is mostly attributable to co-infection with hepatitis B or C. The impact of other risk factors, including prolonged exposure to combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) is poorly understood. Our aim was to determine the prevalence of liver fibrosis and associated risk factors in HIV-infected individuals based on non-invasive fibrosis assessment using transient elastography (TE) and serum biomarkers (Fibrotest [FT]). Methods: In 202 consecutive HIV-infected individuals (159 men; mean age 47 ± 9 years; 35 with hepatitis-C-virus [HCV] co-infection), TE and FT were performed. Repeat TE examinations were conducted 1 and 2 years after study inclusion. Results: Significant liver fibrosis was present in 16% and 29% of patients, respectively, when assessed by TE (≥ 7.1 kPa) and FT (> 0.48). A combination of TE and FT predicted significant fibrosis in 8% of all patients (31% in HIV/HCV co-infected and 3% in HIV mono-infected individuals). Chronic ALT, AST and γ-GT elevation was present in 29%, 20% and 51% of all cART-exposed patients and in 19%, 8% and 45.5% of HIV mono-infected individuals. Overall, factors independently associated with significant fibrosis as assessed by TE (OR, 95% CI) were co-infection with HCV (7.29, 1.95-27.34), chronic AST (6.58, 1.30-33.25) and γ-GT (5.17, 1.56-17.08) elevation and time on dideoxynucleoside therapy (1.01, 1.00-1.02). In 68 HIV mono-infected individuals who had repeat TE examinations, TE values did not differ significantly during a median follow-up time of 24 months (median intra-patient changes at last TE examination relative to baseline: -0.2 kPa, p = 0.20). Conclusions: Chronic elevation of liver enzymes was observed in up to 45.5% of HIV mono-infected patients on cART. However, only a small subset had significant fibrosis as predicted by TE and FT. There was no evidence for fibrosis progression during follow-up TE examinations.
- A common HLA-DPA1 variant is associated with hepatitis B virus infection but fails to distinguish active from inactive Caucasian carriers (2012)
- Background and Aims: Chronic infection with the hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a major health issue worldwide. Recently, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DP locus were identified to be associated with HBV infection in Asian populations. Most significant associations were observed for the A alleles of HLA-DPA1 rs3077 and HLA-DPB1 rs9277535, which conferred a decreased risk for HBV infection. We assessed the implications of these variants for HBV infection in Caucasians. Methods: Two HLA-DP gene variants (rs3077 and rs9277535) were analyzed for associations with persistent HBV infection and with different clinical outcomes, i.e., inactive HBsAg carrier status versus progressive chronic HBV (CHB) infection in Caucasian patients (n = 201) and HBsAg negative controls (n = 235). Results: The HLA-DPA1 rs3077 C allele was significantly associated with HBV infection (odds ratio, OR = 5.1, 95% confidence interval, CI: 1.9–13.7; p = 0.00093). However, no significant association was seen for rs3077 with progressive CHB infection versus inactive HBsAg carrier status (OR = 2.7, 95% CI: 0.6–11.1; p = 0.31). In contrast, HLA-DPB1 rs9277535 was not associated with HBV infection in Caucasians (OR = 0.8, 95% CI: 0.4–1.9; p = 1). Conclusions: A highly significant association of HLA-DPA1 rs3077 with HBV infection was observed in Caucasians. However, as a differentiation between different clinical courses of HBV infection was not possible, knowledge of the HLA-DPA1 genotype cannot be translated into personalized anti-HBV therapy approaches.
- Soluble serum CD81 is elevated in patients with chronic hepatitis C and correlates with alanine aminotransferase serum activity (2012)
- Aim: Cellular CD81 is a well characterized hepatitis C virus (HCV) entry factor, while the relevance of soluble exosomal CD81 in HCV pathogenesis is poorly defined. We performed a case-control study to investigate whether soluble CD81 in the exosomal serum fraction is associated with HCV replication and inflammatory activity. Patients and Methods: Four cohorts were investigated, patients with chronic hepatitis C (n = 37), patients with chronic HCV infection and persistently normal ALT levels (n = 24), patients with long term sustained virologic response (SVR, n = 7), and healthy volunteers (n = 23). Concentration of soluble CD81 was assessed semi-quantitatively after differential centrifugation ranging from 200 g to 100,000 g in the fifth centrifugation fraction by immunoblotting and densitometry. Results: Soluble CD81 was increased in patients with chronic hepatitis C compared to healthy subjects (p = 0.03) and cured patients (p = 0.017). Patients with chronic HCV infection and persistently normal ALT levels and patients with long term SVR had similar soluble CD81 levels as healthy controls (p>0.2). Overall, soluble CD81 levels were associated with ALT levels (r = 0.334, p = 0.016) and severe liver fibrosis (p = 0.027). Conclusion: CD81 is increased in the exosomal serum fraction in patients with chronic hepatitis C and appears to be associated with inflammatory activity and severity of fibrosis.
- High prevalence of anti-HCV antibodies in two metropolitan emergency departments in Germany : a prospective screening analysis of 28,809 patients (2012)
- Background and Aims: The prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibodies in Germany has been estimated to be in the range of 0.4–0.63%. Screening for HCV is recommended in patients with elevated ALT levels or significant risk factors for HCV transmission only. However, 15–30% of patients report no risk factors and ALT levels can be normal in up to 20–30% of patients with chronic HCV infection. The aim of this study was to assess the HCV seroprevalence in patients visiting two tertiary care emergency departments in Berlin and Frankfurt, respectively. Methods: Between May 2008 and March 2010, a total of 28,809 consecutive patients were screened for the presence of anti-HCV antibodies. Anti-HCV positive sera were subsequently tested for HCV-RNA. Results: The overall HCV seroprevalence was 2.6% (95% CI: 2.4–2.8; 2.4% in Berlin and 3.5% in Frankfurt). HCV-RNA was detectable in 68% of anti-HCV positive cases. Thus, the prevalence of chronic HCV infection in the overall study population was 1.6% (95% CI 1.5–1.8). The most commonly reported risk factor was former/current injection drug use (IDU; 31.2%) and those with IDU as the main risk factor were significantly younger than patients without IDU (p<0.001) and the male-to-female ratio was 72% (121 vs. 46 patients; p<0.001). Finally, 18.8% of contacted HCV-RNA positive patients had not been diagnosed previously. Conclusions: The HCV seroprevalence was more than four times higher compared to current estimates and almost one fifth of contacted HCV-RNA positive patients had not been diagnosed previously.
- A genetic validation study reveals a role of vitamin D metabolism in the response to interferon-alfa-based therapy of chronic hepatitis C (2012)
- Background: To perform a comprehensive study on the relationship between vitamin D metabolism and the response to interferon-α-based therapy of chronic hepatitis C. Methodology/Principal Findings: Associations between a functionally relevant polymorphism in the gene encoding the vitamin D 1α-hydroxylase (CYP27B1-1260 rs10877012) and the response to treatment with pegylated interferon-α (PEG-IFN-α) and ribavirin were determined in 701 patients with chronic hepatitis C. In addition, associations between serum concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25[OH]D3) and treatment outcome were analysed. CYP27B1-1260 rs10877012 was found to be an independent predictor of sustained virologic response (SVR) in patients with poor-response IL28B genotypes (15% difference in SVR for rs10877012 genotype AA vs. CC, p = 0.02, OR = 1.52, 95% CI = 1.061–2.188), but not in patients with favourable IL28B genotype. Patients with chronic hepatitis C showed a high prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency (25[OH]D3<20 ng/mL) during all seasons, but 25(OH)D3 serum levels were not associated with treatment outcome. Conclusions/Significance: Our study suggests a role of bioactive vitamin D (1,25[OH]2D3, calcitriol) in the response to treatment of chronic hepatitis C. However, serum concentration of the calcitriol precursor 25(OH)D3 is not a suitable predictor of treatment outcome.

Ever since I put my foot into an Ariat boot 5 years ago, that's all I wear. I really like these Terrain shoes for everything I do. They are the choice for me when I ride my quad (4-wheeler) and go camping/hiking. They are tough and my last pair lasted over a year & 1/2 and 8k miles. Can't go wrong with these if you are active and want comfort too.
Comments about Ariat Men's Terrain Western Shoes:
I use these boots everyday. I've ridden 250 endurance miles on a horse in them, I ride my quad in them. I am rough on my boots and Ariat makes the only boots that can hold up and Ariat made a boot for the terrain atlast, not just for riding or style. I think its' the best buy I ever made for boots.

Actually I do not still teach. After my husband and I were married (about 4 1/2 years ago), I went back to college to get my Master's degree- and I've been here doing the Resident Director position since then. I am an RD over the married housing here, so I have a little bit of a professional outlet but quite a bit of time to spend at home with Lillian which I LOVE[:D]
Anyway- I plan to go back eventually- but probably when Lillian (and possibly my next one- if/when we get pregnant again) reaches school age. We'll see.
Anyway, hope you all are doing well today! Have a great weekend and enjoy the BEAUTIFUL leaves:-)

Bringing your Family History to Life...
Unlock your ancestry with Parish Chest, a genealogy store with census records, parish registers, maps, books and detailed directories designed to help you uncover the full story behind your family tree. Our ancestry consists of much more than the branches of our family tree. It is about the people and stories that make up our past, our family history.
Uncovering our genealogy can open up a world of unanswered questions. Questions such as, What was life like?, How did they survive? and What happened? A name alone sometimes is just not enough, we need to know more. We want to know the full story, the story that created our place in the world.
It was our own curiosity that drove us to create the extensive list of family history records you see here today. Understanding first hand how many records can add colour and life to an otherwise lifeless set of names and dates, we set about providing a service for everyone who wanted to know that little bit more.
Records available include UK Census Records, Wills, Workhouse Records, Army and Navy Lists, Directories, Family Tree Charts, Books, Genealogy Records and Family History Societies.
Oh yes, if you have come up against a brickwall that you cannot seem to get around or over, do pop over to the Genealogy Specialists forum as the lovely folk there will be delighted to help...and the forum is completely FREE!
Discover your family history today with Parish Chest.

Student Stories
As part of the experience abroad, ILR students on International Experience grants are required to give a report regarding their international experience.
Below are just a few of the nearly two hundred reports our students have generated:
Hannah Cashen BSILR '16
focus / Hannah Cashen
When my favorite government professor mentioned a future winter course in Cambodia to me last year, I listened excitedly about an opportunity I didn't think I'd ever be able to pursue personally. But thanks to generous financial support and my ILR International Travel Grant, I was able to take this incredible class myself.
Nidy Hamue-Munoz MILR '15
experience report / Colombia
In January 2015, I spent two weeks working with coffee producers in Colombia as part of the Cornell Student Multidisciplinary Applied Research Team (SMART). We worked with the Federación Campesina del Cauca (FCC), a not-for-profit organization that has over 700 coffee-producing associates. These coffee producers are all micro landowners whose main source of income is the production from their farms.
Rachel Maniloff BSILR '15
experience report / warwick
Exchange Student at Warwick, UK, Spring 2014
What were the most useful things you packed, and what do you recommend to leave behind?
Pack rainboots and a raincoat! Also pack lots of layers--you'll be grateful when you have to spend weeks traveling on only one suitcase! Leave behind formal clothes.
Anya Gibian BSILR '12
experience report / austria
I did not know what to expect from either the Physical Theatre Lab or the Conference "Theatre Between Tradition and Contemporaneity" when I registered, however I hoped to learn as much as I could in the short week. I also hoped to make meaningful connections with performers from all over the globe, and to learn from their perspectives and experiences.
William Edmonds BSILR '13
experience report / zambia
With the help of an Experience Grant through ILR's International Programs Office I was afforded the opportunity to intern at Protea Hotels in Lusaka, Zambia for four weeks during my summer break. This was a great chance to apply what I had learned in the classroom at the ILR School and it would be my first opportunity to venture to a different continent with a rich culture and an incredible history dating back to the birth of mankind. When I arrived at Lusaka International Airport I was immediately greeted by my friend who would be hosting me for the next four weeks.
Chyanne Eyde BSILR '13
experience report / europe
Inspired by an admissions brochure's feature on Randi Weingarten '80, President of the American Federation of Teachers, I applied to the ILR School three years ago with the intent of merging my strong interest in education with the school's focus on organizational behavior and unionism. The independent research project that I was able to conduct, thanks partially to my International Travel Grant, allowed me to closely analyze issues of privatization and unionism in public education.
Sahil Jain BSILR '14
experience report / india
During the 2011-12 Winter Intersession I was able to travel to New Delhi, India on an International Travel Grant from the ILR School. I spent my month in New Delhi working with the Centre for Development and Human Rights (CDHR), a not-for-profit research organization that focuses on promoting the Right to Development in India and across the world. Along with conducting research for CDHR, I was able to attend seminars, meet some of the leading activists of India, and explore the city of New Delhi.
Xavier O'Brien Douglas BSILR '15
experience report / dominican republic
When I reflect on the experience that was made possible for me by the International Travel Grant, I now understand how it was more than just an opportunity; it was a life transforming cultural immersion that has motivated me to travel, explore, and volunteer both internationally and locally on a regular basis. In the Dominican Republic, I was bombarded by everything except what was fed to me by American mediums about the beautiful Island.
Hannah Kim BSILR '14
experience report / tanzania
From becoming comfortable riding in a minivan with 30 people standing, eating beans and rice cooked by mama, watching a chicken being slaughtered and cooked, seeing herds of zebras and giraffes from only ten feet away, and forming intimate relationships with the people I've met, I can safely say that Moshi, Tanzania, or specifically KCMC Road, feels like my second home.
Jennifer Kay BSILR '14
experience report / mexico
When you walk up and down the hallways of Ives Hall you will inevitably encounter the ILR adage, "advancing the world of work" emblazoned on a wall. This cri de coeur connects the most liberal ILRies with their most conservative classmates, as all of us want to advance the world of work, and ultimately will do so, because our connotations of "advancing" will all be manifested in different ways.

Brooke & Glenn Grindlinger Award Report
UNSW, Sydney, Australia, Fall 2013
Melanie Berdecia BSILR '12
experience report / dominican republic
With the ILR International Travel Grant, I traveled to Santiago in the Dominican Republic. The purpose of my trip was to learn more about labor rights in the Dominican Republic and if these rights have developed since the passage of the Dominican Republic Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR). This topic is the concentration of my honors thesis. In 10 days, I learned about the Dominican Labor Court system and the procedures that workers and employers must undergo when they have conflicts that they want to resolve.

Things I liked:Very powerful erven on co2. There's nothing else like itin my collection. It's not just an airgun. It's a highly modifiable shooting system that can be customized to each person. Barrels are changeable, foregrips are easy to add as well as lasers, sights, scopes, power sources. This gun can be powered up or down for any use. Finally an airgun built right.
Things I would have changed:Absolutely nothing. As far as I'm concerned, it's perfect.
What others should know:If you can only have one gun, this one is worth an entire collection.
Things I liked:I've been doing a bit of fun ballistics. One important thing to find out is just how much damage can the gun do. I know on low power this thing will chew through a 1/4 inch pine board. I then tried an oak tv tray. It went through that too. I then tried the phone book. It also tore through that.... on low with co2. I pulled out all the stops and stacked 2 thick catalogs. I set the gun on high and was totaly amazed at the damage. The first thick catalog stopped the crosman domed pellet but half the pages ewer turned into unreadable confetti. I fished the pellet out and it had deformed into a pointed triangle with all three sides caved in. Imagine that damage in a groundhog. That would be instantly lethal. No other gun I own is as powerful or lethal as the condor
Things I would have changed:There's nothing to change. This thing can become any gun configuration you could ever need
What others should know:This is not just a gun. It's an engineered work of art and likely there won't be a more deadly air gun ever made. If you like airguns, this is a must have. It will make you want to toss all your other guns in the trash. It's that good.
Things I liked:China needs to take some quality notes from airforce. This has got to be the best air rifle I have ever seen. The finish is a very nice powder coating, i found the triger to be nice and crisp. Barrel is the finest I ever saw and it is as accurate as advertised. I found a dot sight is perfect for close in work and doesn't really need to have the tri rail adapter. I also love the fact I can put in various barrels and different calibers. In all this might be one of the greatest air rifles made.
Things I would have changed:As far as I can see, it is exactly what I need
What others should know:Well worth the price.

A memorial monument dedicated to the memory of Marine Cpl. Daniel Swaim and portions of the Veterans Memorial, both located at Yadkin County Park, have been defaced.
According to Jason Walker, Parks and Recreation Department Head, park officials found the damage while cleaning and maintaining the property earlier this week.
Pieces of Corporal Swaim's monument had been broken off, and scratches are covering the face of his picture.
Walker said that he believes the damage took place sometime last week.
Aaron Church, County Manager, said that the county park will be monitored very closely and anyone caught doing damage to county property or memorials will be dealt with firmly and swiftly and punished to the full extent of the law.
Anyone with information about this damage is asked to call Jason Walker at 679-4228.

Comments about Ultra Compact Camera Case with Storage:
My girlfriend bought this case for her camera. I liked it so much I bought my own. Specifically I like the side pocket for additional SD Cards and the clip to connect to your belt loop. Also the case is small enough to fit into a pocket. It would be nice if they offered a few more color options. Ie: Green and grey
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I have used this for the Canon Elf 780IS, 300HS, and 320HS. I carry a couple of batteries in the zipper pocket.I use the belt loop but not the carbiner loop. The belt loop is very durable. I let the camera strap hang from the case when on my belt. I then slip my hand through the strap and unzip with the same hand for a quick draw. The padding does a decent job of protecting the camera.

Clean design. Will just fit big-zoom point-and-shoot cameras such as Casio ZR100 and Canon SX320, and still allow space for a spare battery in the outside pocket. I prefer the pocket to be outside so it doesn't rub on the LCD or lens, and to have a secure closure without bulk, as this one does. Panasonic Lumix TZ5 is a really tight fit, better to use the next size up of this style of case for it.I found the compatibility chart on this website to have good intentions, but to be inaccurate and omitting the latest models, so hope this helps.

I have a Panasonic Lumix LZ8 (compact point-n-shoot) and have tried several cases... all of which were way too big. I even forced it to fit into hard drive cases and other small cases for other devices. This is the first case that actually fits my camera. I wanted the smallest case that gave protection... and THIS IS IT...!!!! Well done Case Logic!

A recent Chromium build updated the message used for the "clear browsing data" section. The most impressive option lets you "obliterate the following items from the beginning of time". It's less boring than "clear browsing data from this period: everything", but users may need to use a dictionary and to get a sense of humor.
In other news, the tabbed settings page is now the default option in Chromium and this feature will probably be enabled in Chrome 10. The new settings page comes with a search box that lets you quickly find an option (this feature would be much more useful in Firefox, Opera or Internet Explorer) and a default page zoom option.

The unit will begin with a consideration of the nature of planning. The notions of ethical planning practice and the public interest will be explored along with the idea of conflict of interest. From this abstract starting point the unit will engage with the major theories that have informed Western planning before locating Australian planning in this context. In particular, the unit will consider Colonisation as the foundation for Australian planning along with City Improvement and City Beautiful movements, The Garden City ideal, Modernity and Post-Modernity and the Marxist, Feminist and Ecological critiques of planning as well as the contemporary frameworks of New Urbanism and Neo-liberalism. Finally, the unit will focus on current issues, both legislative and those exciting the popular imagination (and these will vary from year to year of unit offer). For example: sustainability, public vs. private transport, sprawl vs. consolidation, heritage vs. development, Indigenous issues, social and spatial difference and consider the policies, laws, regulations and plans relevant to them.

ARLINGTON, Texas - Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel ran for two touchdowns, threw for two more and had a Cotton Bowl-record 516 total yards as 10th-ranked Texas A&M wrapped up its first SEC season with a 41-13 win over No. 12 Oklahoma on Friday night.
The Aggies (11-2) never trailed after Manziel tiptoed the sideline for a 23-yard TD run on their opening drive of the game.
Texas A&M took control of the game by scoring touchdowns on its first three drives in the third quarter, going ahead 34-13 when Manziel threw a 33-yard TD pass to Ryan Swope on a fourth-and-4 play.
Oklahoma (10-3), which like the Aggies entered the game with a five-game winning streak, went three-and-out on its first three drives after halftime.
Manziel set an FBS bowl record with his 229 yards rushing on 17 carries, and completed 22 of 34 passes for 287 yards.

It rained on the Berkeley Stags' 2013 homecoming game against the Stall Warriors on Friday night.
But in the end, it was Berkeley that reigned supreme, winning 41-10 behind three Joseph Dress touchdowns, two on the ground and one through the air.
The Stags scored in almost every possible fashion: on the ground, through the air, on special teams and on defense to improve to 4-4 on the season and 2-2 in Region 8AAA play.
Dee Harley added a 47-yard punt return for a score and linebacker Darius Nelson scooped up a fumble and rambled 38-yards for the game's final touchdown.
The Stags face showdowns against a top 10 ranked Orangeburg-Wilkinson at home on Friday and a season-ending roadtrip to Hilton Head on Nov. 1.
Both games carry playoff implications for the Stags, Berkeley's playoff seeding, the success of the season overall, and the short legacy of Coach Jeff Cruce, now in his third year.
Win and the Stags finish the regular season with a 6-4 mark, guaranteeing Cruce his first winning season at the helm.
Anything less will be seen as more of the same by some fans.
"We played like we practiced this week," Cruce said Friday. "It was what we needed to beat Stall, but this effort won't do it if we want to beat Orangeburg-Wilkinson next week."
Neither team was able to crack the ice in the first quarter in the rain, but when the skies let up after the game's first 12 minutes,
Berkeley found its offense in the second quarter as Dress, playing a full game for the first time in almost a month after suffering an ankle injury, directed the Stags' offense on a 70-yard 10-play drive capped by a Josh Sellers 5-yard touchdown run. The Vance Bailey PAT put BHS on top 7-0.
Dress would then cap a second scoring drive with a 17-yard touchdown pass to Deion Williams to put the Stags on top 14-0 with 2:50 left in the half. On the previous play, Dress broke right for a 17-yard run to set up the scoring pass to Williams.
"We played well on all sides of the ball, offense, defense and special teams," Cruce said.
The Warriors came out of the locker room by catching the Stags off guard with an opening onside kick.
Warrior quarterback Jordan Carswell rode that momentum for Stall's only touchdown of the game. He hit Jacquee Johnson-Drayton with a three-yard touchdown pass to close the gap to 14-7 at the 7:32 mark of the third quarter.
After the ensuing Stags' drive ended on a Dress interception, the Warrior offense stalled, and the visitors were forced to punt.
Dee Harley caught the punt in stride and took off down the right sideline untouched for a 47-yard touchdown run, taking the wind out of any Stall second half momentum.
In the fourth quarter, the Stags defense took over.
After Dress tallied his second TD of this soggy night on a 29-yard run early in the fourth to go up 28-7, Tyler Crouse set up Berkeley's next touchdown with his second interception of the night, taking the pick to the one-yard line.
Dress scored again on a quarterback keeper from six yards out to put the Stags up 35-7.
But the Berkeley defense wasn't finished.
Linebacker Darius Nelson scooped up a Carswell fumble and rumbled 32 yards for the game's final touchdown.
A late Stall field goal closed out the scoring at 41-10.

In 1906 Marshall B. Lloyd founded the Lloyd Manufacturing Co. The company quickly became famous for its wicker baby buggies and children's wicker furniture. By the early 1920's. Marshal B. Lloyd revolutionized the wicker industry with his Lloyd Loom, a weaving machine that could do the work of 30 men. The Heywood-Wakefield Company purchased Lloyd Manufacturing in 1921. With the introduction of more wicker furniture lines, the popularity Lloyd Loom wicker rapidly increased throughout the US and Canada.
After World War II, the Menominee plant, branched out into other areas of furniture manufacturing, and produced only a small amount of wicker furniture. Lloyd/Flanders began producing wicker furniture from the Lloyd Looms in January, 1983.
In 1985, Lloyd/Flanders introduced the first all-weather wicker furniture to the casual furniture industry with its Heirloom line. As the category of all-weather wicker grew, Lloyd/Flanders maintained its category leadership and expanded its furniture offerings to include the new synthetic hand made wicker products being manufactured off shore. Innovation has been the hallmark of Lloyd/Flanders in its role as the leading manufacturer of all-weather wicker. Lloyd/Flanders continues today to be one of the major manufacturers in the casual furniture industry.

text: I have a question, my sister just had her second baby at 34 weeks and had severe pre-eclampsia which turned into HELLP syndrome. I have a three year old daughter and when I was pregnant with her I suffered from high blood pressure and was as they called it "pre-pre" eclamptic and had what they THINK was a placental abruption. This was never determined to be accurate or not b/c I delivered before they had a chance to do an ultrasound and check the placenta. Anyway my question is that my sister's Dr. told her that pre-eclampsia can run in families, my other friend who also had it said her Dr told her it is actually the Dad who determines this, though they do not know how or why this is true. These seem to be two very different theories and I would like to know if anyone knows what the actual "truth" is. I'm terrified of having another baby at this point because of all this happening so close to home, but I want more children. I need to know what my risks are before I jump in though. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Mbuna Tank
Hi Guys,
This is my first post on this website, hoping I'm in the right section!!
I am going to set up a Mbuna tank in the next few months. The tank I am going to have made is 45 US Gallons (172 litres). The dimensions for it are: 850mm length, 450mm height and 450mm depth. I can't go any larger than this and cannot reduce height or depth to increase length. With the height and depth, I can increase one and decrease the other. Anyway to the point, I want to keep 4 Demasoni, 4 Electric Yellow and 4 Blue Mbuna in groups of 1x male and 3x female. I know this might be pushing it but I know that a little over crowing can reduce aggression. I would do plenty of water changes (30% 2X week) and will have a good external filter and UV purifier. I know some of you may think this is too much but bare in mind the tanks longish for 45 Gallon and will be kept very clean.
You're constructive thoughts please? Please note I cannot go any bigger with tank. If completely necessary, I could cut out one of the groups of fish. I am experienced with tropical s but note really with Malawi Cichlids.
I have read that 55 gallons is an absolute minimum for mbuna tanks, but I have never kept these fish. I would worry that it just won't provide the appropriate territories for all those breeding fish.~Manna

4 dems is a recipe for disaster. In that size tank, you'll need to do all dems if you want to keep them.
Electric yellows are too large for your tank. Not sure which species you're referring to as Blue Mbuna.
I would recommend a single species for this size tank. Demasoni could work but if you want color contrast go with. Ps. Saulosi. Blue barred males, bright yellow females. Plus they stay small and are less aggressive then many other mbuna species."The Dumpster Tank" 26g flat back hex - Betta albimarginata, checker barbs, pork chop rasbora
"Nano Fish Tank" 20g long - Celestial Pearl Danios, microrasboras
"Mbuna Tank" 75g - Ps. saulosi, I. sprengerae, M. pulpican, M. joanjohnsonae, Cyno. sp. "hara"
In a 45 gal tank, I think you are fine for two groups with a total of 8-10 fish with only one male per. Personally I believe that Yellow Labs are fine, if you are reffering to a seperate electric yellow please list the scientific name. I wouldnt ever do a Demasoni of any type in a tank smaller than a 90 based on their bad attitude. Red Zebra's though would be ok I suppose. But you are looking at 1m 3f because of their potential in size. 5in but bulky.
If I may though, could I suggest going with Peacocks? They are generally smaller fish, have a larger variation of bright colors and are more peaceful.FW: 1 45gal, 1 40gal, 3 10gal, 3 30gal all community tanks of different species

Thanks for reply's everyone. I'm quite keen to keep 3 species and some one suggested 4 Labidochromis caeruleus (Yellow Lab, more commonly called electric yellow in New Zealand) 4 Maylandia estherae (red zebra) and 4 Maylandia callainos (cobalt blue zebra). This would be 12 which could be pushing it a little but will also be a good thing as will spread out aggression. I will provide plenty of caves for them. Sound good?
As long as you dont sell any fry from the tank, I see no issues. The red and blue zebra can cross breed. But this is my opinion. I have a full grown male red zebra in with peacocks that are half his size and he is no bother at all.FW: 1 45gal, 1 40gal, 3 10gal, 3 30gal all community tanks of different species

Thanks for good advice. I've decided to get a long 45 gal made which has the same footprint as a 55 (48"L 13"D 18"H). 13"w seems to be standard for long 45's and normal 55's, always seems so narrow to me. Now the next mission is finding something (cheap but sturdy) to put it on!!
