ABSTRACT: The comprehensive analysis of human remains from various places and time periods, either by immunological or molecular approaches, provide circumstantial evidence that malaria tropica haunted mankind at least since dynastic ancient Egypt. Here we summarize the "actual state-of-the-art" of these bio-molecular investigations and offer a solid basis for the discussion of the paleopathology of malaria in human history.Acta tropica 09/2015; DOI:10.1016/j.actatropica.2015.09.002 · 2.27 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: The monastery of Attel, Upper Bavaria, which was founded in AD 1030, harbours a series of crypt burials from the time period between AD 1700 and 1750. Due to a restoration of the church, 16 crypts had to be removed and were subjected to an extensive anthropological-paleopathological and isotope analysis. The 16 crypts contained 19 burials in open wooden coffins. All bodies were covered by an extensive layer of calcium carbonate. Despite this "treatment," bone and teeth were excellently preserved (mean degree of conservation > 75%, completeness > 85%). The anthropological investigation revealed a mean age of 38.5 years and a body height of 1.71 m. Paleopathologically, a surprisingly high rate of trauma was seen (13 injuries in 7 different individuals, i.e., 36.8% of individuals affected), 2 cases presented signs of extensive arthritis urica (gout), and several monks were affected by arthrosis of shoulder and knee joints. Extensive dental attrition, numerous foci of dental caries, and dentogenic abscesses coincided with considerable dental calculus indicating poor oral hygienic conditions. Stable isotope analysis showed adequate mixed carnivore-herbivore nutrition, comparable to that of contemporaneous upper class individuals. This extensive combined analysis provides considerable insight into the nutrition and disease pattern of a middle-class monastery of early 18th century South Germany.09/2015; 2015(4):486467.

ABSTRACT: The application of histology to soft tissue remains offers an important technique to obtain diagnostically important information on various physiological and pathological conditions in paleopathology. In a series of 29 cases with mummified tissue ranging between 16 months and c. 5.200 years of postmortem time interval, we systematically investigated paleohistology and the preservation of various tissues. We established a reproducible histological ranking system for the evaluation of mummified tissue preservation. The application of this scheme to the series showed good tissue preservation of tissues with high connective tissue content but also fat tissue and connective tissue rich organs, such as lung tissue, while most other internal organs were less well preserved despite highly different postmortem time intervals. There are some organs with only poor conservation even in short term periods such as the kidneys and CNS. Artificial mummification does not provide better conservation than naturally mummified tissues; "cold" mummies may be much better conserved than those from desert areas. The identification of specific pathologies underlines the potential power of paleohistology.09/2015; 2015(2557):1-9. DOI:10.1155/2015/631465
Conference Paper: Unravelling the cause of death of a 18th dynasty élite individual (QV30)[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Ancient Egyptian mummies represent a powerful source of information on past diseases. Here we report on the cause of death of Nebiri, Chief of the Stables under the reign of Thutmoses III. His plundered tomb (QV30) was discovered by E. Schiaparelli between February and March 1904. Only the head (S.5109) and the canopic chest (S.5110, S.5111/02, S.5112, S.5113) were preserved and are currently housed at Turin's Fondazione Museo delle Antichità Egizie. Multidetector Computed Tomography (MDCT) showed that Nebiri was middle aged - 45 to 60 years old- when he died and that he was affected by a severe periodontal disease with several abscesses. There is evidence of calcification in the right internal carotid artery. A 3 dimensional brain surface reconstruction showed a strong asymmetry in the vascularisation and shape of both hemispheres, especially level with the anterior and middle meningeal vessels although no major pathologic alterations of the outer meninges could be pinpointed. Conversely, based on the presence of small aggregates of hemosiderin containing "heart-failure" cells and pulmonary oedema, it can be confidently concluded that Nebiri died from an acute cardiac failure after having experienced a chronic cardiac insufficiency. Evidence of vascular disease, often associated, with hypertension is provided.XI ICE Conference, Florence; 08/2015

Research: Report Dahshur Autumn 2010 Spring 2011[Show description] [Hide description]
DESCRIPTION: In autumn 2010 and spring 2011 German Archaeological Institute, Cairo and the Free University of Berlin undertook a small test excavation in the so-called workmen's village south of the Red Pyramid. Further research was done on the lower causeway of the Bent Pyramid. A detailed study of the pottery resulted in the dating of the two building phases within the Old Kingdom. The sand in the wadi of the Bent Pyramid gradually accumulated starting already in the Old Kingdom and continuing until the New Kingdom. New Kingdom pottery within a limestone sledgeway allows to fix the date of the dismantling of the lower temple of the Bent Pyramid to the late 18th Dynasty or to the Ramesside Period. Three recently discovered relief fragments from the lower temple of the Bent Pyramid are discussed and offer additional information to the understanding of the decoration of the lower temple of the Bent Pyramid.

Article: Unusual spinal tuberculosis in an Avar Age skeleton (Csongrád-Felgyő, Ürmös-tanya, Hungary): A morphological and biomolecular study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The paleopathological analysis of a well-preserved young adult female skeleton from the AD 7-8th century (Avar Age) in Hungary revealed multiple lytic lesions in all of the thoracic and lumbar vertebral bodies. The lesions were characterized by smooth marginal zones and space-occupying mass appearance. The considerable loss of spongy bone in the thoracolumbar vertebrae resulted in angular deformity and fusion, characteristic of the healing stage of TB. Osteolytic lesions were also observed on the vertebral processes, ribs and sternum. On the endocranial surface, abnormal blood vessel impressions were revealed, indicating some kind of meningitis. The X-ray and CT analysis of the affected bones detected abnormal structures and cystic zones of destruction. The lesions were however not always bordered by areas of increased density, which is typical in cystic TB. Vertebral remains were also subjected to biomolecular analysis in two different laboratories, which attested the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) DNA and supported the paleopathological diagnosis of TB. Spoligotyping analysis confirmed the presence of MTBC DNA and more specifically an infection caused by bacteria belonging to the M. tuberculosis lineage. This case study provides new data for the paleoepidemiology of TB in this geographical area and historical period, and draws attention to the great variability of TB lesions in the human skeleton.

ABSTRACT: Trichuris trichiura is a soil-transmitted helminth which is prevalent in warm, moist, tropical and subtropical regions of the world with poor sanitation. Heavy whipworm can result either in Trichuris dysenteric syndrome - especially in children - or in a chronic colitis. In heavy infections, worms can spread proximally and may cause ileitis. Here we provide first microscopic evidence for a T. trichiura adult worm embedded in the rectum of a post-Colonial Brazilian adult mummy. During Colonial and post-Colonial times, many European chroniclers described a parasitic disease named Maculo whose symptomatology coincides with heavy helminthiasis. Based on our findings and on comparison of ancient textual evidence with modern description of heavy whipworm, we feel confident in considering that the two syndromes are expressions of the same pathological condition.Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz 01/2015; 110(1).

Article: Loss of notochordal cell phenotype in 3D-cell cultures: implications for disc physiology and disc repair[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Introduction: Embryonic notochordal disc nucleus cells (NC) have been identified to protect disc tissue against disc degeneration but in human beings NC phenotype gets lost with aging and the pathophysiological mechanisms are poorly understood. NC may stimulate other cells via soluble factors, and NC-conditioned medium can be used to stimulate matrix production of other disc cells and mesenchymal stem cells and thus may be of special interest for biological disc repair. As this stimulatory effect is associated with the NC phenotype, we investigated how cell morphology and gene-expression of the NC phenotype changes with time in 3D-cell culture. Materials and methods: NC and inner annulus chondrocyte-like cells (CLC) from immature pigtails (freshly isolated cells/tissue, 3D-alginate beads, 3D-clusters) were cultured for up to 16 days under normoxia and hypoxia. Protein-expression was analysed by immunohistology and gene-expression analysis was carried out on freshly isolated cells and cultured cells. Cell morphology and proliferation were analysed by two-photon-laser-microscopy. Results: Two-photon-laser-microscopy showed a homogenous and small CLC population in the inner annulus, which differed from the large vacuole-containing NC in the nucleus. Immunohistology found 93 % KRT8 positive cells in the nucleus and intracellular and pericellular Col2, IL6, and IL12 staining while CLC were KRT8 negative. Freshly isolated NC showed significantly higher KRT8 and CAIII but lower Col2 gene-expression than CLC. NC in 3D-cultures demonstrated significant size reduction and loss of vacuoles with culture time, all indicating a loss of the characteristic NC morphology. Hypoxia reduced the rate of decrease in NC size and vacuoles. Gene-expression of KRT8 and CAIII in NC fell significantly early in culture while Col2 did not decrease significantly within the culture period. In CLC, KRT8 and CAIII gene-expression was low and did not change noticeably in culture, whereas Col2 expression fell with time in culture. Conclusions: 3D-culture caused a rapid loss of NC phenotype towards a CLC phenotype with disappearance of vacuoles, reduced cell size, increased proliferation, and gene-expression changes. These findings may be related to NC nutritional demands and support the latest hypothesis of NC maturation into CLC opposing the idea that NC get lost in human discs by cell death or apoptosis to be replaced by CLC from the inner annulus.Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery 10/2014; 134(12).

Article: Reconstructing the Life of an Unknown (ca. 500 Years-Old South American Inca) Mummy - Multidisciplinary Study of a Peruvian Inca Mummy Suggests Severe Chagas Disease and Ritual Homicide[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The paleopathological, paleoradiological, histological, molecular and forensic investigation of a female mummy (radiocarbon dated 1451-1642 AD) provides circumstantial evidence for massive skull trauma affecting a young adult female individual shortly before death along with chronic infection by Trypanosoma cruzi (Chagas disease). The mummy (initially assumed to be a German bog body) was localized by stable isotope analysis to South America at/near the Peruvian/Northern Chilean coast line. This is further supported by New World camelid fibers attached to her plaits, typical Inca-type skull deformation and the type of Wormian bone at her occiput. Despite an only small transverse wound of the supraorbital region computed tomography scans show an almost complete destruction of face and frontal skull bones with terrace-like margins, but without evidence for tissue reaction. The type of destruction indicates massive blunt force applied to the center of the face. Stable isotope analysis indicates South American origin: Nitrogen and hydrogen isotope patterns indicate an extraordinarily high marine diet along with C4-plant alimentation which fits best to the coastal area of Pacific South America. A hair strand over the last ten months of her life indicates a shift to a more "terrestric" nutrition pattern suggesting either a move from the coast or a change in her nutrition. Paleoradiology further shows extensive hypertrophy of the heart muscle and a distended large bowel/rectum. Histologically, in the rectum wall massive fibrosis alternates with residual smooth muscle. The latter contains multiple inclusions of small intracellular parasites as confirmed by immunohistochemical and molecular ancient DNA analysis to represent a chronic Trypanosoma cruzi infection. This case shows a unique paleopathological setting with massive blunt force trauma to the skull nurturing the hypothesis of a ritual homicide as previously described in South American mummies in an individual that suffered from severe chronic Chagas disease.PLoS ONE 02/2014; 9(2):e89528.

Article: MiR181b is induced by the chemopreventive polyphenol curcumin and inhibits breast cancer metastasis via down-regulation of the inflammatory cytokines CXCL1 and -2[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Chronic inflammation is a major risk factor for the development and metastatic progression of cancer. We have previously reported that the chemopreventive polyphenol Curcumin inhibits the expression of the proinflammatory cytokines CXCL1 and -2 leading to diminished formation of breast and prostate cancer metastases. In the present study, we have analyzed the effects of Curcumin on miRNA expression and its correlation to the anti-tumorigenic properties of this natural occurring polyphenol. Using microarray miRNA expression analyses, we show here that Curcumin modulates the expression of a series of miRNAs, including miR181b, in metastatic breast cancer cells. Interestingly, we found that miR181b down-modulates CXCL1 and -2 through a direct binding to their 3'-UTR. Overexpression or inhibition of miR181b in metastatic breast cancer cells has a significant impact on CXCL1 and -2 and is required for the effect of Curcumin on these two cytokines. miR181b also mediates the effects of Curcumin on inhibition of proliferation and invasion as well as induction of apoptosis. Importantly, over-expression of miR181b in metastatic breast cancer cells inhibits metastasis formation in vivo in immunodeficient mice. Finally, we demonstrated that Curcumin up-regulates miR181b and down-regulates CXCL1 and -2 in cells isolated from several primary human breast cancers. Taken together, these data show that Curcumin provides a simple bridge to bring metastamir modulation into the clinic, placing it in a primary and tertiary preventive, as well as a therapeutic, setting.Molecular oncology 01/2014; 8(3).

ABSTRACT: Modern paleopathology is a multidisciplinary field of research which involves archaeology, medicine and biology. The most common diseases of Ancient Egypt were traumatic injuries, malaria and tuberculosis. Exemplarily, an internistic and trauma surgery case of that time is reviewed: Pharaoh Tutankhamun (ca. 1330-1324 B.C.). Summarising all findings which have been collected between 1922 and 2010, including computed tomography and molecular pathology, a diversity of disease is verifiable: (1) chronic/degenerative diseases (mild kyphoscoliosis, pes planus and hypophalangism of the right foot, bone necrosis of metatarsal bones II-III of the left foot); (2) inflammatory disease (malaria tropica, verified by PCR analysis) and (3) acute trauma (complex fracture of the right knee shortly before death). The most likely cause of death is the severe acute knee fracture and/or the malaria, while a suspected eighteenth dynasty syndrome cannot be proven.Archiv für Pathologische Anatomie und Physiologie und für Klinische Medicin 06/2013; 463(3).

ABSTRACT: We applied, for the first time, next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology on Egyptian mummies. Seven NGS datasets obtained from five randomly selected Third Intermediate to Graeco-Roman Egyptian mummies (806 BC-124AD) and two unearthed pre-contact Bolivian lowland skeletons were generated and characterised. The datasets were contrasted to three recently published NGS datasets obtained from cold-climate regions, i.e. the Saqqaq, the Denisova hominid and the Alpine Iceman. Analysis was done using one million reads of each newly generated or published dataset. Blastn and megablast results were analysed using MEGAN software. Distinct NGS results were replicated by specific and sensitive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) protocols in ancient DNA dedicated laboratories. Here, we provide unambiguous identification of authentic DNA in Egyptian mummies. The NGS datasets showed variable contents of endogenous DNA harboured in tissues. Three of five mummies displayed a human DNA proportion comparable to the human read count of the Saqqaq permafrost-preserved specimen. Furthermore, a metagenomic signature unique to mummies was displayed. By applying a "bacterial fingerprint", discrimination among mummies and other remains from warm areas outside Egypt was possible. Due to the absence of an adequate environment monitoring, a bacterial bloom was identified when analysing different biopsies from the same mummies taken after a lapse of time of 1.5 years. Plant kingdom representation in all mummy datasets was unique and could be partially associated with their use in embalming materials. Finally, NGS data showed the presence of Plasmodium falciparum and Toxoplasma gondii DNA sequences, indicating malaria and toxoplasmosis in these mummies. We demonstrate that endogenous ancient DNA can be extracted from mummies and serve as a proper template for the NGS technique, thus, opening new pathways of investigation for future genome sequencing of ancient Egyptian individuals.Journal of applied genetics 04/2013; 54(3).

Article: Molecular Identification of Falciparum Malaria and Human Tuberculosis Co-Infections in Mummies from the Fayum Depression (Lower Egypt)[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Due to the presence of the lake Quarun and to the particular nature of its irrigation system, it has been speculated that the Fayum, a large depression 80 kilometers south- west of modern Cairo, was exposed to the hazards of malaria in historic times. Similarly, it has been speculated that, in the same area, also human tuberculosis might have been far more widespread in the antiquity than in its recent past. If these hypotheses were confirmed, it would imply that frequent cases of co-infection between the two pathogens might have occurred in ancient populations. To substantiate those speculations, molecular analyses were carried out on sixteen mummified heads recovered from the necropolis of Abusir el Meleq (Fayum) dating from the 3(rd) Intermediate Period (1064- 656 BC) to the Roman Period (30 BC- 300 AD). Soft tissue biopsies were used for DNA extractions and PCR amplifications using well-suited protocols. A partial 196-bp fragment of Plasmodium falciparum apical membrane antigen 1 gene and a 123-bp fragment of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex insertion sequence IS6110 were amplified and sequenced in six and five of the sixteen specimens, respectively. A 100% concordance rates between our sequences and those of P. falciparum and M. tuberculosis complex ones were obtained. Lastly, concomitant PCR amplification of P. falciparum and M. tuberculosis complex DNA specific fragments was obtained in four mummies, three of which are (14) C dated to the Late and Graeco-Roman Periods. Our data confirm that the hydrography of Fayum was extremely conducive to the spread of malaria. They also support the notion that the agricultural boom and dense crowding occurred in this region, especially under the Ptolemies, highly increased the probability for the manifestation and spread of tuberculosis. Here we extend back-wards to ca. 800 BC new evidence for malaria tropica and human tuberculosis co-occurrence in ancient Lower Egypt.PLoS ONE 04/2013; 8(4):e60307.

ABSTRACT: The use of cell lines in cancer research is strongly dependent on the avoidance of contaminations, the correct attribution of a cell line to the initial primary tumor and stability. Previous studies have identified expression of melanocytic molecular markers in the widely used breast cancer cell line, MDA-MB-435. In the present study the three breast cancer cell lines, MCF-7, MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-435, were systematically analyzed for mRNA and protein expression of major epithelial (cytokeratin isoforms), mammary (mammaglobin) and melanocytic (melan A and S100-protein) markers. Protein expression was identified by immunocytochemistry and quantitative RT-PCR was used to determine mRNA levels. While MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells unambiguously revealed an epithelial/mammary phenotype, MDA-MB-435 cells were found to exhibit epithelial/mammary and melanocytic features dependent on cell density. Subconfluent cells demonstrated epithelial characteristics only, however, densely growing, confluent cells also expressed melanocytic markers. Consistent with gain of melanocytic features, the expression levels of mammaglobin mRNA decreased in these cells. These results indicate that the three cell lines are primarily of epithelial phenotype, however, MDA-MB-435 cells revealed lineage infidelity in dense cultures with a gain in melanocytic phenotype. These characteristics must be taken into consideration when analyzing cancer-relevant genes and their expression profiles in vitro.Oncology letters 04/2013; 5(4):1370-1374.

NZXT Sentry 3 5.4-inch Touch Screen Fan Controller Review
Introduction, Specifications and Pricing
While there still are a few purists out there that really do prefer the finite control that a slider or a turn dial offers for exacting control over their fans, most users are looking for something a bit more stylish than a bunch of knobs. Most users also want a more automated way of taking control of the cooling inside of a chassis. Both views have their merits, and we are not here to dispute one being better over the other – it is just that this latest product from NZXT to hit our labs just happens to fall in the latter category, and is a product we believe many would like to try out for this reason.
NZXT of course went to a touchscreen to clean things up and give this fan controller a much more stylish appearance, and reduced the surrounding bezel as much as possible to offer the 5.4 inch diagonal measurement of this screen. Along with manual and automatic touch controls, it also offers a thermal readout, a probe to measure thermal dynamics to control Performance mode, and it even has an alarm so that users are warned when things get a bit too hot.
We are here today to look at the newest fan controller from NZXT, the Sentry 3. We alluded to a few of the features of this design, but there is still a lot to see and cover as we put this touchscreen fan controller through its paces. While initially we were very taken by the design and specs, there will be some interesting points to note later, so this definitely is a review you will want to read down to the last letter.
As for now, let's dive right in and see what exactly we are dealing with in this NZXT Sentry 3.
Following the chart, we find that the Sentry 3 is also known by the AC-SEN-3-B1 model number. We also see that it is made from steel, ABS plastic, it has a capacitive touchscreen, and of course there is a PCB behind the screen controlling functionality; all of this is packed into a single 5.25 inch bay device that measures 129mm wide, and is 31mm in height. Behind the scenes we find five fan leads that will accept three-pin or four-pin fans, and there is a four-pin Molex connection for power. Along with these leads, there is also a thermal probe that displays a thermal range of 0 – 120 degrees Celsius.
The rest of the specifications show that this fan controller is a power house. Across its five channels, each receives 15W of power for a total of 75W across the entire Sentry 3. This is huge for those looking to control loops with push/pull setups on multiple radiators. It even has enough power that you could build a chassis out of fans, and still control them all with this system. Power delivery isn't everything though, and while definitely strong in this department, and it is most of what counts, we still have aesthetics, control, fit, and an overall opinion to cove.
What is really nice about the whole idea of fan control via a controller such as this, is that you can be the master of the thermal dynamics of a chassis, and typically there isn't a huge expense involved. We have seen some very pricey single bay models, and of course the dual bay and stand-alone versions get even more expensive, but the Sentry 3 from NZXT is priced right along with most of their other single bay models. The Sentry 3 should not cost you more than $30 USD to obtain. Considering what sort of power we are offered, and the amount of controllability, right now we find that there isn't really too much we could complain about on paper.
PRICING: You can find the NZXT SENTRY 3 for sale below. The prices listed are valid at the time of writing but can change at any time. Click the link to see the very latest pricing for the best deal.
United States: The NZXT SENTRY 3 retails for $34.99 at Amazon.

That is going to end soon with judges pounding the bench /table on all forms of market manipulation.
Just this week a judge ordered CME Group to divulge which clients are manipulating (in that case clients that are spoofing).
First, I already own the stock. I paid too much by a long shot (181 or so).
I will buy more when it becomes a value.
These numbers are too high right now:
Trailing P/E (ttm, intraday): 47.99
Forward P/E (fye Dec 28, 2016)1: 38.16
PEG Ratio (5 yr expected)1: 2.43 -- PEG ratio over 1.0 is always high risk.
Price/Sales (ttm): 12.28 -- Price/Sales over 5.0 is a problem.
Price/Book (mrq): 14.18
Unless there is a substantial change in energy prices to the upside, this company will be bank owned.
You are right. China will provide the lowest cost on anything you want. 70% of the fish sold in USA is Chinese, 50% of the apple juice, 80% of the junk you buy.
As to pharmaceuticals, you are WRONG because it is REPUBLICANS who REFUSE to require competition in pharmaceuticals.
I agree, particularly when it comes to insecticides, pesticides, drones, smog producing companies, product resulting in mercury in the water as bi-products, salmonella infested meats unless you inspect and test the meat yourself, salmonella infested peanut butter, toys that choke children, lead based paint, chemically contaminated foods, food products produced in unknown countries like fish, apple juice (did you know the bees died) , plague infested cereal grains, .........and 10,000 other products
After all, prior to 1776 we only had Thomas Jefferson to rely upon.
There is absolutely no reason why YOU cannot inspect your own meats and ensure your children do not play on lawns on which nerve agents have been applied.
Bush and Putin called each other "soul mates" as they hugged and kissed each other on their cheeks.
Then Putin tanks rumbled into Georgia and took 1/3rd of Georgia.
That was Putin's version of the "canary in the country mine" and it cleared the way for Crimea.
She is one powerful and highly intelligent woman who is hated by the rest of us.
One tweet from her is equal to a million from the rest of us.
We are headed for negative interest rates and uncontrollable deflation unless:
1. Minimum wage is increased to $15 nationwide immediately.
2. At least $1 trillion infrastructure refurbishing is passed immediately.
(Travel the rest of the world and YOU will see the comparative DISASTER USA infrastructure has become. Nightmare roads and bridges, airports falling apart, schools with leaky roofs and mortar falling apart, and plenty more garbage dump looking USA).
What is it about PRGO that makes it worth $15 billion say nothing of $27 billion?
Statistics indicate 80% of all upgrades are wrong.
Statistics indicate 80% of all downgrades are wrong.
Thus you may be right.
Logic says you downgrade if you want to buy and upgrade when you want to sell. I guess it would be nonsensical to do otherwise.
No. $16 is support. Already broke down through $30.
Too much debt.
No catalysts to support the stock. More catalysts for downside than up.
Goldman Sachs targeting $20 oil price which eliminates new offshore drilling and reduced /shut down of marginal offshore rigs, particularly deep water.
Ben Graham: 'Price is what you pay; value is what you get."
"In the short term the stock market is a voting machine." (popularity)
"In the long term the stock market is a value machine. (fundamentals)
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Net Shares Sold : 1,281,090 shares.
What options? Covered calls, naked calls, puts/ insurance or naked puts?

See the classic story of Israel's greatest king from TNT!
Here is one of the greatest sagas in all human history-the story of Israel's greatest king. He became a nationally known hero while still a teenager in his battle with the giant Goliath. Thereupon his life was caught up in the whirlwind of his people's life and destiny. Never far from danger, political intrigue, the jealousy of opponents, and the problems caused by his own surging passions, David, nevertheless, emerged as a "man after God's own heart."

Celebrate Hogust at the Markets
Over the last few months we have started to introduce more local pork producers committed to raising various heritage breeds. I really feel that pork is one of the more complex proteins, and its flavor profile is greatly influenced by breed, feed, and terroir. It is this thought that drove the idea of creating "Hogust," our celebration of rare and heritage pork breeds throughout the month of August.
Since 2005, Bi-Rite and Heritage Foods USA have partnered to support small family farms that are committed to raising unique breeds of hogs with varied flavors and tastes. Through the entire month of August we will be highlighting center-cut pork chops from breeds like the Tamworth, Old Spot, Duroc, Large Black, and my favorite, the Red Wattle.
So raise a glass to "Hogust," and take advantage of this opportunity to taste experience pork from the breed perspective. Be sure to visit our butchers throughout the month to try our rotating selection of heritage pork. To quote our friends at Heritage Foods, in order to preserve this amazing breed diversity, "You have to eat 'em to save 'em!" See our field guide for flavor profiles to find your favorite breed, and what better way to taste the difference than in our Pan-Fried Pork Chops with Figs recipe, adapted from Eat Good Food? Shop the recipe in both Markets or from our online store at Instacart.com. Enjoy!
Getting Figgy With It
Fig trees are one of the most common fruit trees in backyards throughout the Bay Area. You would think this would lead to them being a super popular fruit in the area, but this isn't the case! Figs are one those pieces of fruit that usually taste better the uglier they get – but a lot of consumers buy figs that are under-ripe, are still extra-firm, and are not that sweet. At Bi-Rite we realize that the best tasting figs are the ones that sit on the tree longer to develop their sugars, and are harvested just when the jelly-like flesh of the figs is about to explode out of the skin with sugary goodness. The fresh fig selection at the Markets changes every day depending on which varieties our favorite farms are harvesting and delivering to the Markets.
Black Mission Figs are the most common fig you see at grocery stores. They have a thicker skin than most other varieties, which makes them a good crop for shipping long distances. If grown to the perfect level of ripeness, their dark purple flesh makes them one of the sweetest varieties. The Brown Turkey Fig is similar to the Black Mission in appearance, but a little lighter in color with green skin next to the stem. Brown Turkeys are known to be the largest growing fig and have beautiful rose-colored flesh.
The green fig varieties bring a lot of excitement to Bi-Rite each season with their lime green skin and beautiful reddish pink flesh. These are usually the some sweetest varieties of the season and a perfect dessert fig. Adriatic, Kadota, and Calimyrna Figs will all hit the Bi-Rite shelves between now and the end of September. I can't forget to mention the Candystripe Fig with its yellow skin and green stripes – it's always a main attraction in the produce department in August! The flesh is crimson-colored and they taste like raspberry or strawberry jam.
Throughout the month of August we will be celebrating all of these amazing figs and the local farms that grow them! From Bi-Rite Farm in the foothills of the Sierra, to the legendary fig farmers at Knoll Farm in Brentwood, each fig variety will bring a different flavor to the table. We are also highlighting the awesome Point Reyes Bay Blue Cheese and have adapted a killer recipe from our book, Eat Good Food, combining figs, blue cheese, and prosciutto that is going to blow your mind! Shop for the ingredients in our Markets or directly from our online store at Instacart.com and have them delivered to your door. And if you don't remember what a big, juicy, ripe fig taste like please come by either Market and ask for a sample.

Aperitif Wines – Start Your Night Right
In this blog post I will attempt to convince you, reader, to stop whatever your current pre-dinner ritual and to instead take 15 minutes to relax and enjoy a light, slightly bitter, slightly sweet drink accompanied by salty snacks (like nuts or olives). The purpose? To whet your appetite and open your senses, preparing your palette to enjoy your meal. If you are totally against this proposition then this post isn't for you. But if like me, you take pleasure in tasty, unique beverages and crunchy, salty little treats, and you think you might be open to this kind of suggestion, please read on.
You're still reading, so you likely know that I'm talking about the aperitif. This word refers to both the act of enjoying a pre-meal drink and also to the beverages consumed therein. While it is more common in Europe to experience such a thing, here in the U.S. we too have a fine tradition of imbibing before we eat: think happy hours and cocktail parties. But there is something special about the way that the aperitif wine helps us prepare to eat that a pint of IPA cannot reproduce. It's the combination of bitterness, acid, and sweetness that awakens the salivary glands and gets us ready for dinner without filling us up.
So, dear reader, next time you are hosting a dinner party, start your night right with a little apéro. You can serve any of these chilled over ice, with a spritz of soda water, or try our very own recipe for your "Aperitif Fix." Serve them with a bowl of the aforementioned mixed nuts and you've got your night started. And we haven't even mentioned the possibilities for mixing cocktails! Chin chin!
Campari $27.99
One of the original bitters in Italy, Campari was invented in 1860 by its eponymous founder, Gaspare Campari. It is also the essential ingredient in the classic Negroni cocktail, but if you're an Italophile you just mix this with soda water and pretend you're on the Almalfi Coast.
Lillet Blanc $19.99
Lillet is the original French Aperitif – it was initially used to cure malaria, but it tasted so good that it soon being used at the dinner table. It is made from Sémillon wine with quinine and citrus liqueurs added. Serve it chilled with orange peel or add some berries or peach slices for a quick and delicious Sangria.
Uncouth Vermouth Seasonal Hops $44.99
This wildly inventive vermouth is the brainchild of Bianca Miraglia. Using the seasons as her inspiration, Bianca sources different herbs, plants, and spices and infuses them with a complementary wine base. The Hops is made with 16 different plants plus a final addition of Cascade and Nugget hops. Craft beer lovers will totally dig this amazing vermouth.
Buil & Giné Vermut $27.99
A unique aperitif from the Priorat region in Spain, the Buil & Giné is a vermouth made from the Macabeo grape and infused with more than 110 different plants and herbs. It's then aged for two years in oak barrels to get the desired color. It's wonderfully bitter with a perfect balance of sour and sweetness. Serve this on the rocks or try it in a Manhattan.
Cocchi Vermouth di Torino $22.99
Vermouth di Torino is one of the only two protected geographical indication of origins for vermouth, the other being Chambéry in France. To celebrate their 120 year anniversary, the House of Cocchi recreated their original recipe for Vermouth Torino. With flavors of citrus, cocoa, and rhubarb, enjoy this neat with a citrus peel. It also makes a fabulous Manhanttan.

Spice things up with 4505 Chicharrones or go the classic route with Nopalito Tortilla Chips and three varieties of Papalote salsas – Roasted Tomato, Habanero or Serrano-Tomatillo.

Calder Wine Co. Charbono $24.99
This wine has vibrant aromas of cherry cola and ripe plums, backed by intense secondary flavors of forest floor, mustard flowers, dark chocolate, sour cherries and bee pollen.
Birichino Besson Vineyard Grenache $19.99
Modest and bright, with a bit more tannin than up-front fruit and a pleasant dried-herb aspect – perfect for a weeknight.
New York Strip Steaks Only $19.99/lb for Father's Day
Father's Day is right around the corner and with the weather gods saying that sunshine is on the horizon it will be a great weekend to spark up the grill. Take advantage with our special pricing on New York Strip Steaks.

I think of New Yorks as being the rib eye's leaner, meaner little brother. Just as flavorful and tender, but with more balanced marbling than the rib eye, the New York has serious versatility. Serve it as a thick-cut steak for a big poppa Father's Day dinner, slice it into thin strips for a pimped out stir fry or fajita meal, or order your steaks thin-cut to create the dopest sandwich known to man, a.k.a. "Chili's New York Cheesesteak" (no disrespect to my people in Philly), with savory Omnivore Sauce, Mimi's Confitures' smoky-sweet onion jam, and tangy Cabot Vintage Cheddar on Acme's herbaceous Herb Slab. Pair it with the peppery Green & Red "Chiles Canyon" Zinfandel ($22.99) and you've got the perfect gift for dad! Shop the full recipe at 18th Street and Divis, or online at Instacart.com.

Panthers topple Wamego, 68-57
The Concordia Panthers didn't win the North Central Kansas League championship by defeating Wamego 68-57 on Friday night, but they put themselves in position to do so.
By avenging their lone league loss to Wamego, the Panthers took sole possession of first place at 7-1.
Concordia, 13-4 overall, plays a league game at Clay Center on Tuesday night and then finishes up the regular season with a makeup game at Abilene on Thursday.
Wamego, 9-10 overall, falls to 7-2 in the NCKL. Abilene is 6-2 and has games against Chapman and Concordia remaining.
"We were out of it if we lost. It was a must win game for us," Concordia coach Michael Roe said, "We have a chance to win the league now. It is a great feeling."
Concordia had a 13-point lead, 54-41, on Wamego in the fourth quarter, but didn't put the game away until the final seconds.
Trailing by 13 points, the Red Raiders got consecutive three-point shots by Jared Ayres and Kyler Alderson to close the gap to 54-47.
Wamego knocked down nine threes in the game.
"They are very well coached and shoot the ball very well," Roe said, "When you shoot the ball as well as they did, 10 points is not a big lead."
Grant Holmes made one of two free throws to give Concordia a 55-47 lead, but Ayres connected on another three.
Two free throws by Holmes put the Panthers up 57-50.
Wamego got two free throws by Eli Miller and a three-point play by Alderson to cut the gap to 57-55.
Cooper Holmes made two free throws, and Concordia led 59-55 with 3:07 remaining in the game.
Miller scored inside to again pull the Red Raiders within two points, 59-57.
Neither team would score again until Cooper Holmes made two free throws to push the lead to 61-57 with 1:12 on the clock.
Cooper Holmes led all scorers with 30 points and pulled down 17 rebounds. He was 9 of 19 from the field and 11 of 12 from the line.
Concordia came up with a steal, and Grant Holmes was fouled going in for a layup.
Alderson was also called for a technical foul with 48 seconds to play.
Grant Holmes made all four free throws.
"Grant is making 80 percent for the year, so it was four points and ball," Roe said.
Concordia inbounded the ball and Cooper Holmes was fouled He made one of two to make it a 66-57 game.
Two more free throws by Cooper Holmes made the final margin 13 points.
"I thought we did a good job of responding to the runs they made," Roe said.
Grant Holmes was four of eight from the field and 13 of 17 from the line in scoring 22 points and had six rebounds.
Kaleb Pounds scored eight points for the Panthers.
Concordia finished 27 of 33 from the free throw line compared to 8 of 11 for Wamego.
Ayres and Alderson scored 14 points each for the Red Raiders, and Miller added 13 points.
Pounds and Grant Holmes knocked down threes as Concordia got out to a 10-2 lead in the game.
Wamego fought back to go up 12-10.
A follow by Cooper Holmes pulled the Panthers even at 12-12 heading into the second quarter.
Ayres hit a three, and Wamego led 15-12.
Threes by Pounds and Cooper Holmes and a free throw gave Concordia the lead back at 19-15.
The Panthers would not trail again.

Concordia led by 13 points in the final period when Wamego made one last run that came up short.

Drake Cancels European Tour
Due to his mother's surgery
By Tom Breihan on July 1, 2010 at 1:50 p.m. EDT
NME reports that Drake has canceled a planned European tour because of his mother's health. In a statement, the world-conquering rapper says, "Despite my best hopes, it is apparent that my mother will need surgery earlier than anticipated. In light of this news, I have made the difficult decision to cancel my European tour in order to support her during her recovery, just as she supported me through the years. I cannot thank my European fans enough and look forward to performing abroad soon. I ask everyone to please respect my family's privacy during this time."
Drake talked a bit about his mother being sick in a recent MTV documentary, but he didn't reveal what her ailment was. On his Twitter yesterday, he wrote: "Back at my moms house...please include her in your prayers tonight as tmrw she faces a true challenge."

text:
As the fortress world of Reach and its brave defenders were bombarded to rubble, a single cruiser fled the carnage with the battle's only human survivors: Captain Keyes, his crew of a few hundred marines, and the last remaining SPARTAN super-soldier, the Master Chief.
With the cruiser's artificial intelligence, Cortana, concealed in his battle armor, the Master Chief crash-lands on Halo in the midst of a massive Covenant occupation. Curiously, the alien soldiers appear to be searching for something hidden on the ring.
Built by a long-dead race, Halo harbors many deadly secrets, but one overshadows them all. Now the Master Chief must lead the scattered troops in a brutal race to unravel Halo's darkest mystery---and unleash its greatest source of power.
Listen to more stories of Halo.

"I loved it"
I really enjoyed the whole book I loved how he made the elite sound when talking
"A Good Listen."
Many of my friends rant and rave about this series. It's good and enjoyable but not epic. I recommend it to Halo fans, but there are other books i have on my priority list.
Had a blast listening to this in the car on the way to work! Excellent book! Truly nostalgic! Great work!
"A great side book to the game"
I like this book. It was great to see all the different things that happened during Halo Combat Evolved.
I didnt like this narrator during The Fall Of Reach but he was better in this one.
"Poor story"
This is the worst book in the Halo series. By far. It's a retelling of the game with poor side stories. The performance is good though...
"function of the Flood, its purpose, confused me"
good follow up to the 1st Halo story, but I was a bit confused as far as the Floods purpose. But I confuse easily.
"Happy day"
This was nostalgia overload. His made my halo 1 memories just vivid in my mind. Well narrated and amazing quality.
"The Flood Review"
Really Enjoyed this narrator. He brought the story to life foe me. He did his best to change his voice per the characters. But did terrible on the female voice. Hahahaha not enough for me to change rating. Maybe I missed something but I never learned how Master Chief and Cortana got off the planet. And what happened to Captain Keys? ????
"Bad narrator."
A better narrator who had any knowledge of Halo and/or the Halo Universe would have helped... a lot!
The story was fine. The narration took away from the story.
Almost ANYONE! Any annoying chipmunk voice with marbles in his mouth would have been better. Between the smacking of the narrators lips/ mouth, to the mispronounced words, to the sudden screams and yells that have little to do with the story and everything to do with total distraction and frustration.... this narrator sucked. (I think)
I would love to sit everyone who edited this AUDIBLE book in a room and force them to listen to the crappy work they put out. Either take some pride in what you create or please, for the love of all that is good and wholesome... get a different job.
"Follows Halo: CE to the T, yet expands on it."
It tells the stories of those aside from the Chief in Halo: CE the game. If you've played the game and wondered why there were killed Marines lying around in certain places, this book actually goes into the details of some of those passed. The book also delves into the Covenant's perspective.
I compare it to the other two original Halo books, because I listened to all three on a trip across the States... this one was the worst, but I was still interested in finishing it.
The Chief, I guess.
Again, if you've played the game, most of this book follows the exact dialog from there... it just adds onto it. It feels... robotic. The other two in this series are much better overall. If you've never played the game, enjoyed the first book, and have no interest in playing the game, this is a good listen and continuation of the Halo story.

'Transformers' Takes Off, Auto Sales Soar & Soccer Stokes Twitter
'Transformers' Takes Off, Auto Sales Soar & Soccer Stokes Twitter
Closing Bell: Lumber Liquidators Jumps; Dow Extends Win Streak
Unlock your personal NFL Now stream by signing in to NFL.com
"Transformers: Age of Extinction" extinguished its competition last weekend. The fourth installment in Michael Bay's robot series earned $100 million in North America, making it the yearâ¿¿s biggest movie debut. Meanwhile, June auto sales arrived this week and there was some good news for the Big 3 heading into the summer driving season. Chrysler saw its U.S. sales jump 9.2% last month, beating expectations for a 5.9% gain, while Ford and GM also beat Wall Street estimates. Finally, the US may have lost to Belgium on Tuesday in the World Cup, but our players gained over 3 million Twitter followers over the course of the tournament. Twitter has been a bigger winner as well, its shares are up nearly 20% since the start of the World Cup.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average clinched a six-day winning streak, its longest of the year, but it was not without effort. Stocks barely made any moves as investors wait until next week for earnings to gear up and give more direction. Lumber Liquidators (LL) was one of the best market performers as it rallied for its second straight day. Mid-week, the company announced it would pay $10 million to settle an investigation into whether it knowingly sourced illegal wood products. Crude oil rallied after a weekly count of oil rigs showed the active total drop by nine to 605. West Texas Intermediate crude was up 9% for the week and briefly topped $50 a barrel on Friday for the first time in more than two months.
Stocks were slightly higher in midday trading Friday, though struggled to hold onto significant gains. One company weighing on the S&P 500 was Gap (GPS) which fell after reporting a 1% decline in same-store sales in September, driven by a 10% slump in sales at its Banana Republic chain. The company said a stronger U.S. dollar had made for a 'challenging' month. SABMiller (SBMRY) is playing defense after Anheuser-Busch (BUD) criticized its rejection of a takeover. The U.K. beer company has increased its annual cost savings target by another $550 million to appease shareholders pushing to reconsider Anheuser's offer. United Continental (UAL) spiked after upping its profit margin projections for its recently-ended third quarter.
U.S. stocks opened flat as the Dow Jones Industrial Average tries to make it 6 up days in a row. Soon, Starbucks (SBUX), KFC (YUM), and Chili's will accept Apple Pay (AAPL). It's rolling out the electronic payment service to many of those stores by the end of this year. Wider acceptance should give Apple Pay a much needed boost. Lack of stores that accept it has been one reason it has been slow to take hold. U.S. import prices barely moved in September. There was a slight decline. Oil prices rebounded and the weak global economy appeared to moderate. Federal Reserve Chief Janet Yellen has argued that import prices have been a major factor keeping inflation well below the Fed's 2% target rate. Brewer SABMiller has announced a drastically accelerated cost-cutting plan following a $100 billion takeover approach by rival Anheueser Busch Inbev.
The stock market is on a winning streak. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 5 straight days, its best winning streak since February. The S&P 500's string of gains is the best since December. The Dow also closed above 17,000 for the first time since August. Earnings season has officially begun and it's not off to a great start. Alcoa (AA) had a big earnings miss. Its high growth aerospace and automotive materials segments could not soften the effects of low commodity prices. Alcoa also slashed its outlook for China's production of cars and trucks. Tesla (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk did some trash talking against Apple when interviewed by a German business newspaper. He told the paper that Apple has only hired the engineers its fired. He says cars are complex machines when compared to smartphones and watches. The annual meetings of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund begin today. Atlanta Federal Reserve President Dennis Lockhart speaks before the Society of American Business Editors and Writers. August Wholesale Inventories are released.
For Friday October 9, there are several key reports coming out showing us how the economy is doing so far. We start off the day with import and export prices coming out at 8:30 am Eastern, and then New York Federal Reserve Bank President Dennis Lockhart is set to speak in New York at 9:15 a.m. Last, at 10 a.m., we expect wholesale trade numbers to come out. Economists are expecting 0.1% increase for the month of August. The report shows three things to investors: monthly sales, inventories and the inventory to sales ratio. TheStreet's Portfolio Analyst Scott Berman said the wholesale trade report for the month of July was 'a bit disappointing,' since the numbers were positive for June. He expects August numbers to be positive and added that it's a 'key input into the GDP calculation for the third and fourth quarter.' TheStreet's U-Jin Lee reports in New York.

The Helen Mirren effect? Sales of pink hair dye soar by over 200% in just ONE month ... and the goth look is out as demand for dark 'dos plummets
A coloured head is the fashion accessory 'du jour' as new figures reveal sales of pink hair dye have rocketed 243 per cent in just one month.
And it's all down to Helen Mirren and her celebrity friends.
The 67-year-old showed that women of all ages can have fun with colour when she chose a cute candyfloss shade for the BAFTAs red carpet.
Little Mix's Perrie Edwards, hot new model Charlotte Free and Katy Perry are also fans of freshly coloured tresses ... and now the rest of us are following suit.
Dame Helen Mirren looked fabulous rocking a pink rinse at the BAFTAs last month
In the last month eBay.co.uk has seen a surge in demand of pink hair dye, which has almost doubled in sales, whilst blue and purple have also rocketed.
And for fans of pink, one colour does not fit all, adventurous fashion addicts are experimenting with hot pink, bubblegum, dirty pink and every colour in between.
Jacqueline Tarlier, Senior Colour Technician at Eleven Hair salon in London's Mayfair has seen a big rush on pink colour jobs, she says: 'Olive skin tones can take a bright, strong pink and fair or pale skins look good with either candy floss colours or the hot pinks.
'Anyone with short hair could try an all over colour but can experiment with say a section of pink in the fringe. Mid to long hair works well with ombre which is lower maintenance as well and an easy take on the trend.
While all over colour may seem like more of a
commitment, Jacqueline says it needn't be as you have to remember it's not permanent and the bright print tones
will look funky as they fade'.
'Use a sulphate free shampoo like JOICO Color Endure to help maintain the colour.'
Jason Welch, Technical Director at Eleven Hair adds: 'This kind of bright hair colour is a real lift, it's the hair version of the recession led 'lipstick effect'. It works well in winter because it brightens up the darker fashions but it will carry on well into the summer because it's fun and lighthearted.
Fearne Cotton shows off a pink rinse January Jones rocks a pink streak, which looks cute and girly
Pop princess Amelia Lily spearheaded pink when she appeared on X Factor in 2011
'The trend for pink hair colour is really wearable for blonde and brunettes, but red heads beware, this one isn't for you.
'Light blondes look great with an all over cotton candy colour and pale hair tones don't need to bleach first. If you are dark blonde or light brown and want a very pale pink you'll need to lighten the hair first.'
eBay's soaring and plummeting hair dye sales
Pink: sales up 243 per cent
Blue: sales up 144 per cent
Purple: sales up 67 per cent
Black: sales down 28 per cent
Red: sales down 16 per cent
Brown: sales down 13 per cent
For a modern take on the
ombre trend where colour is applied to the mid length to ends of the hair, Jason recommends brunettes dip dye with brighter pinks such as dusty rose,
cerise or fushcia.
'Going pink in the salon means it will last longer and if you need to lighten hair first it's best done by a professional. I love the JOICO Color Intensity range because it lasts well and the formula contains ingredients to strengthen the hair.'
Laura Wilkinson-Rea, a spokesperson for Ebay.co.uk, comments: 'Hair dye has always been a secret weapon amongst women, offering an inexpensive and easy way to change your appearance in an instant.
'For 2013 it seems rainbow coloured hues are the latest take on the trend, with celebrities from Rihanna and January Jones to Fearne Cotton sporting the look, Brits are being inspired to be brave with their hair colour too.'
Perrie Edwards from Little Mix rocks a two-tone pink look and shares it on Twitter (l) while quirky model Charlotte Free knots her multi-tonal, famously pink tresses for fashion brand Eleven Paris
Nicki Minaj - a notorious style shifter - shows off a marshmallow toned mane
Katy Perry has been a variety of pink shades including hot Barbie pink and a softer, salmony shade
'Toni's dark blonde hair is the perfect foil for the dusty rose colour
she chose. To avoid a blunt line of colour, we used an isolation
technique to take small sections of hair which she coloured with the
pink semi permanent dye.
'Using Balayage , where the hair is painted
freehand, Jacqueline carefully blurred the edges of the colour so it
looks blended and more natural.
'The colour was applied from the
mid-lengths to the ends and after 20 minutes it was rinsed away. The
look will last for at least eight shampoos and will still look good as
it fades.
Toni's verdict:
'I love this trend but as a 30something wanted a grown-up version that would work with my wardrobe and not look too try-hard. The dip dye is a brilliant way of nodding to a 'young' style without looking like a fashion victim. Husband and boss approve, mum asked: "why?"'
