Strengths: Some antioxidant-rich products in stable packaging; almost all sunscreens offer sufficient UVA protection; mostly fragrance-free products.
Weaknesses: Cleanser; toning mist; some moisturizers and a serum with irritating ingredients; the Clear Skin product; unknowns about topical application of kinetin and zeatin.
Valeant Pharmaceuticals owns and distributes this medically positioned line that's built around the ingredient kinetin, a plant-growth hormone whose technical name is N6-furfuryladenine. What makes kinetin interesting are the in vitro and animal studies demonstrating its effect as a growth factor. Most of these studies were conducted by Dr. Suresh I. S. Rattan, Ph.D., D.Sc., Associate Professor of Biogerontology at the University of Aarhus, Denmark, who happens to hold the patent for use of N6-furfuryladenine on aging skin.
Dr. Rattan told me in an interview, "Normal cells, as they divide and age, go through a progressive accumulation of changes that are irreversible until they reach a stage where they finally die. The in vitro form of creating cellular aging is called the Hayflick Phenomenon, named after the researcher who discovered this method of studying cellular aging in a laboratory setting." He went on to state that "a young cell is plump, round, smooth. As the cells age, they become irregular, flattened, and large, full of debris.… When you grow normal cells in the lab they have a limited number of times they multiply and divide—termed a cell's replicative life span. But when I added N6-furfuryladenine to these cultures the cells did not age as fast, the process slowed down dramatically…" On the flip side, Dr. Rattan mentioned, "We are curious about negative effects.... In cell cultures when a concentration of, say, 250 micromolars of N6-furfuryladenine was used, we got good results, but when we used 500 micromolars of N6-furfuryladenine the cells started dying." The quotes above are from my original phone interview with Dr. Rattan prior to my first reviews of products containing kinetin. He has since told me we can no longer have discussions about this ingredient, not a shock given that "loose lips often sink ships."
You may be wondering if, years later, there is any new research that finally shows kinetin to be a worthwhile ingredient to add to your "anti-aging" skin-care regimen. One published study examined the effect of applying a low dose of kinetin to the skin of hairless dogs. The applications lasted 100 days, and gradual skin texture, wrinkle, and depigmentation (skin lightening) improvement was observed in all subjects. However, the study was not done double-blind, it wasn't compared to a placebo, and dogs don't wrinkle or age the way we do. So it's really a stretch to suggest that the results on dog skin somehow translate to results on human skin (Source: Rejuvenation Research, Spring 2004, pages 32–39). Further and more recent research on kinetin hasn't proven it to be an antiwrinkle luminary or even a dim light (Source: Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, May 2006, pages 332–342).
Using kinetin on skin remains as much of an unknown as it was when we first wrote about it. There are also conflicting results from studies trying to answer such questions as: How much kinetin is needed to have an effect? Can you use too much? How do you control the amount of skin cell differentiation? Can it exert antioxidant activity? The bottom line is that even if kinetin could be used by skin cells, there probably isn't enough kinetin in any product to have a negative or positive impact. However, that is only a guess; no one knows for sure, and so using products with kinetin remains potentially effective but still questionable. Besides, you have to ask yourself: If kinetin is such a miraculous ingredient, why aren't other companies using it in their products? Thus far, the licensing rights to kinetin haven't been setting the industry afire, and it's doubtful much more than a spark will be generated because everyone is always looking for the next buzz ingredient.

|This was an outstanding dayhike. Although long, the approach hike is very scenic and enjoyable. The loose stuff in the gully getting to the notch did suck, but the climbing from there to the summit was great. It was an outsanding day too--clear, 100+ mile visibility, and light breezes. I was nervous about the class 4 sections but they went smoothly, both up and down.

|Solo with Andrew from the Peaklet Saddle. 8:30 roundtrip from the car. Lot of fun. Finding the right gully and the traverse back around near the bottom of the arete was nearly the end of me. I'll pay closer attention next time.

|A terrific Peak. First eyed it in 1982 after backpacking north from Whitney Portal and vowed to come back to climb. My old Roper High Sierra Guide called the SW Slope/NW Face Rt. just the Regular Rt. Climbed with long time friend John Pfeiffer. The Hutchinson Rt. was called the South Couloir. Again with J. P. and couple of other friends. Encountered ice in the couloir below Married Men's Point. Finally, the SE Buttress was called the South Ridge. Climbed with Hugh Sakols, Randy Freidlander, Mark Hoefer, Thayrn Henderson, and Dan Bussinger. Nearly lost the hacky sack attempting to hack on the summit. Whatever names these routes go by, it is fun and interesting climbing.

|Route Climbed: SW Slope / NW Face Date Climbed: Oct 4, 2003
|An easy but very enjoyable dayhike out of North Lake, and the first fourth class peak I attempted by myself. (To give an indication of how easy the fourth class is on this route, I didn't even realise I'd climbed the first such section until I found myself on the arete--seemed more like 3rd class to me). This is a really fun peak! The downclimb proved to be easier than I'd expected.
To reach the notch, I followed the gully all the way up from where it begins, at the top of the talus fan (right where another gully descends from the notch on the righthand side of the summit). The gully itself is loose class 2 as advertised, but it's possible to keep to solid rock above this almost the whole way (class 2 or 3), avoiding the loose crud and making for an enjoyable climb.

|Route Climbed: SW Slope / NW Face Date Climbed: September 14, 2003
|Climbed this impressive peak with my girlfriend Etsuko, Dave Kiene, and Sam. We camped out near the highest of Humphreys lakes. On the summit day, we ascended the SW face 'direct' (did not follow any chutes) which was a combination of Class 2-4 climbing until we reached the gully (loose Class 2) that leads to the notch. From the notch we followed the standard NW Face route. Free-solo'ed pretty much the entire route except for the short (~10') Class-4 'crux' section right below the summit ridge. On the way down we set up two rappels and dropped down the steep NW face back to the notch. For the SW slope descend we chose the right-hand chute (left-hand if you look from the bottom). It was mostly Class 2 with the exception of several short Class 3-4 sections. Got back to the camp at 6:30pm, packed our stuff and went to the car, admiring an amazing sunset over the Humphreys Basin. Hiked out most of the way in the dark under the gorgeous night sky. Got back to the trailhead at 10:30pm. Looong day but what a beautiful one!
This is the most challenging peak I've climbed this year.

|This was a fun climb with some exposure from the notch up the final couloir to the top. My 2 friends looked on from the notch. I guess being married had something to do with their decision to stay below.

|Route Climbed: SW Slope/NW Face Date Climbed: June 22, 2003
|Four of us (Rinat Shagisultanov, Sergei Shoumko, Alex Kizler, Olga Tochkova) returned from the trip to Mt. Humphrey via SW slope/NW face (class 4). We travelled snow free via Puite Pass and had a base camp @ Marmot Lake. The upper part of Humphrey's basin still have some snow fields. but can all be bypassed. The snow on the plato is firm and excellent for walking without any snow snowshoes. Sunday morning we started @ 5 am via the wide chute left to the one that is descibed by Secor. We used the trip report by SnowBird (thank you, it helped a lot). The slope is almost snow free, there are few small patched, but there is nothing that cannot be bypassed on the scree. The route from the notch is fun class 4 climbing. We used 50 m rope for belaying, but I really expected something worse. We were at the summit @ 11:30 am and met a climber from Yosemite who made East arete (5.5) solo. The views are incredible, the weather was perfect without any famous t-storms. According to the summit log there were 3 groups in this spring. There are 3 rap stations on the way down with new slings and/or nuts and you can rap down the whole class 4 section down. Downclimbing the chute with scree and hiking out on the same day made Sunday a killer day (we reached the Puite Pass trailhead @ 8:40 pm).

|Route Climbed: Craig Peer variation to the North Couloir Date Climbed: October 19, 2002
|I climbed the North Couloir with the Direct finish on October 19, 2002. Started the climb at 8,200' by our truck. Michael Gordon was with me but felt sick at McGee Lake and turned around. I climbed the gully, which was rock hard water ice. I thought it was steeper than 60 degrees. I guess the more technical it gets, the steeper it gets (in my mind). I did not want to go to the top (have been there before), so I tried to go down via the NW Ridge. At the top of the gully, I could not find the connection to the top of the NW Ridge. From the notch, there was about 100 feet of fifth class climbing up and right. When I got to the top of what I thought to be NW Ridge, all I saw were steeply droping ridges. I could not find the top of the ridge. Anyone knows how to connect this? I downclimbed to the West and had to walk back over couple of cols to the talus above Mc Gee Lake. I had to bivi in the talus as I just ran out of daylight. Reached Michael and the truck at 10:00am. This is really good outing, someone stronger could easily make it RT in a day from the Trail Head.

|Climbed with ScottyS from Piute Pass. Of the 20+ peaks I climbed this summer, this was one of my favorites. The approach was good, the climbing was way fun, and the exposure is excellent for a 4th class route. Don't get bogged down looking at route pictures of the Southwest Face, you can go up nearly any of the chutes and come out at the right place.

When your Dad owns a roadside farm market and you are in need of a box for moving/storage/trunk-showing the box will always be a banana box. And so last Wednesday I headed to the Embraceable Ewe in Hamburg, NY for my "trunk" show with my banana box full of all my knitting. My life's work, I joked, all fit in that box.
If I had a yarn store, I would want it to be in a beautiful old house and filled with knitters – you can sorta see them all on the porch in this next picture.
Thanks to Erin at the Embraceable Ewe for having me!

Another day in Pakistan brings another day of skies torn by screaming Hellfire missiles launched from U.S. drones.
Early Sunday morning, a barrage of missiles obliterated villages in the tribal region of South Waziristan. Reports indicate that 10 "militants" were killed and five others were injured in the attack.
The Express Tribune quotes a regional government official saying that 10 missiles were fired at three separate "militant compounds" in the Babar mountains in the Shak Toi area of South Waziristan.
According to the story in the Express Tribune, the victims were allegedly members of the Punjabi Taliban, an organization affiliated with the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and al-Qaeda.
In a statement to the Tribune, an unnamed security official reported that among the dead was 26-year-old Wali Muhammad, "senior aide to TTP commander Qari Hussain."
And, as has become standard operating procedure for the aftermath of a U.S. drone attack, the corpses have been neither accurately numbered nor named.
"We are trying to ascertain the identities of the others but the bodies have been burnt very badly," the unidentified official said in the Express Tribune report. He added that "the death toll may rise, given that there were more militants present in the compounds."
Sunday's strike was the third such attack of the new year. On January 3, seven "militants" were killed in the Wana subdivision of the Sara Kanda area.
Earlier that day, five other purported threats to U.S. national security were assassinated by agents of the federal government in a drone strike in the Mir Ali area of North Waziristan.
There are so many problems — moral and legal — with this administration's obsession with murder by remote control that it is hard to know where to begin.

BLACK RIVER A Carthage man was charged Tuesday with breaking into the Community Bank branch on Route 3 after police allegedly found him hiding in a closet in the bank.
After he was apprehended, Michael A. Lowe, 31, of Jackson Road, was charged by the Jefferson County Sheriffs Department with third-degree burglary, fourth-degree grand larceny, fourth-degree criminal possession of stolen property, third-degree criminal mischief, second-degree criminal trespass and attempted petit larceny.
About 8 a.m. Tuesday, sheriffs deputies and Black River police responded to a report of a burglary at the bank after an employee arrived to open the branch, Jefferson County Detective David J. Pustizzi Jr. said. When patrols got there, officers found the man inside.
Mr. Lowe allegedly entered the bank by breaking a window. While inside, he unsuccessfully tried to break into several safes and the bank vault, Detective Pustizzi said. Mr. Lowe also is accused of breaking several security cameras and causing other damage to the buildings interior.
Mr. Lowe, who was unarmed, was inside the bank for a couple of hours, the detective said. Its not clear why he remained in the bank for so long.
Its odd because of the fact that somebody would be inside the bank for a couple of hours, Detective Pustizzi said.
Mr. Lowe was taken to the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building, Watertown, for questioning.
The dollar amount of the damage in the bank was not clear Tuesday night.
The episode began about 5 a.m. when Mr. Lowe went to a town of Champion residence and asked for a ride, the detective said. When the unidentified occupant refused, Mr. Lowe allegedly stole a pickup truck from a different residence after finding the keys inside.
He was arraigned in Champion Town Court and taken to the Public Safety Building on $25,000 bail.

by Curtis Rigsby, University of Hawaii
My study reveals the significance of Katsumi Takizawa (1909-1984) to the pivotal movements of Modern Japanese philosophy, to the international emergence of the Christian-Buddhist dialogue, and to the wide ranging horizon of studies in Barth. Takizawa was the student of Kitaro Nishida, around whom the so-called "Kyoto School" emerged. The Kyoto School is arguably Modern Japan's most original and intellectually formidable philosophical movement, being an elegant and creative synthesis of Japanese Buddhism with the major contours of Western thought, from Medieval Christian theology to Hegelian, Neo-Kantian, and Existential philosophy.
Takizawa was also "one of Karl Barth's favorite students." In the Karl Barth Archives (KBA) at the Bruderholzalle in Basel, Switzerland, 73 letters from Takizawa to Barth can be found. Not only did Takizawa engage in an ongoing critical dialogue with his Japanese philosophical mentor, Nishida, but also pursued a critical dialogue with his Western theological mentor, Barth, from 1934 until the year before Barth's death in 1968. Just as there are indications that Takizawa's criticisms stimulated the major changes of Nishida's later career, there are also indications that Barth took the criticisms of his younger Japanese student very seriously. The written correspondence of the two thinkers and Takizawa's voluminous works cover Barth's discussion of Pure Land Buddhism in CD I/2 §17, Barth's proposal of the global extension of the opportunity provided by God for salvation in CD II/2, Barth's consideration in CD IV/3 that the Word of God is in some ways accessible outside of the "sphere" of the Bible and the Christian Church, and finally Barth's examination of the Christ as the "firstborn" (prototokos) of all creation" in CD IV/4 (The Christian Life).
Although Takizawa was critical of Barth's claim that God's salvific work is limited to the person of Jesus Christ and therefore to the Christian tradition, Takizawa nevertheless was convinced that Barth was a major stimulus behind the Catholic Second Vatican Council and also the Protestant Ecumenical Movement, and even behind the international Buddhist-Christian dialogue. My study proposes that Barth's ongoing encounter with Takizawa was itself a major stimulus for Barth's increasingly ecumenical and global focus. Thus my study suggests that Takizawa and the Buddhist heritage he represented played some role in shaping Barth's thought.
On the other hand, whatever impact Takizawa may have had on Barth, the reverse was even more radical. Takizawa's critique of his Japanese philosophical mentor, Nishida, was largely motivated by the Barthian ideas of Nihility (das Nichtige) and irreversibility (Unumkehrbarheit). From my conclusions, this Barthian critique directly inspired the developments of Nishida's later thought. Takizawa leveled similar critiques against other individuals and ideological movements such as the FAS Buddhist Movement of Shin'ichi Hisamatsu and Masao Abe. My conclusions indicate that their responses to Takizawa's Barthian critiques invariably resulted in significant changes in their ideologies and practical methodologies. Thus my study suggests that Barth's theology made a remarkable impact on modern developments of Japanese philosophy and Buddhist movements.
At the same time, Takizawa's impact, significantly inspired by Barth, was not limited to Japan. Takizawa himself traveled to Germany several times as a visiting professor and speaker, under which circumstances he was even able to have a discussion with Heidegger. Finally, Takizawa engaged in dialogue with the Process theologian John B. Cobb, Jr., and thereby critiqued the Whiteheadian distinction between God and Creativity. In these and other dialogues, although Takizawa maintained a critical distance from Barth, the younger Japanese thinker always praised his great Swiss mentor and did not hesitate to acknowledge the tremendous inspiration Barth had proved to Takizawa's engagement in philosophical debate, interreligious dialogue, Marxist activism, cultural studies, in addition to a unique view of Christian theology from a semi-Buddhist and self-consciously non-Western perspective.

Raped or "Seduced"? How Language Helps Shape Our Response to Sexual Violence

Raped or "Seduced"? How Language Helps Shape Our Response to Sexual Violence
By Claudia J. Bayliff
From The Sexual Assault Family Violence Investigator Course
The language we use to describe sexual violence helps shape our response to this terrible crime. Law enforcement officers play a crucial role in the criminal justice system's response to sexual violence. They are often the gatekeepers—the first person victims inter-act with after they have been raped. How law enforcement officers talk about sexual violence has a profound impact on how victims, other criminal justice system professionals, media and society at large think about and respond to the crime. This is not about being "politically correct"; it is about writing reports and discussing cases in a way that makes law enforce-ment more effective and successful.
There are three main problems with the way we all talk about sexual violence:
- We use the language of consensual sex to describe assaultive acts;
- We describe victims in terms that objectify them or blame them for the violence;
- and We talk about sexual violence in ways that create an "invisible perpetrator."
Unfortunately, when we use this type of language, we help to reinforce the stereotypes and myths about sexual violence. We also create an image of this crime that focuses solely on its victims—what they did or did not do to "cause" their victimization–and allows perpetrators to remain invisible and unaccountable. Obviously, there are lots of factors at work that make it harder for us to hold rapists accountable, but the language we use is one key element.
Using the Language of Consensual Sex to De-scribe Assaultive Acts:
When we describe sexual assaults in terms usually used for pleasurable and affectionate acts, we minimize and hide the violence in-volved and we make it harder to visualize the acts as unwanted violations.1 We also help create an image of an intimate and non-threatening scene. For example, think about the different image that is created when we say, "He had sex with her" versus "He forcefully penetrated her vagina with his penis." Other examples include: "He fondled her breasts," "He kissed, hugged, caressed or had sex with her." These phrases also create an image of a mutual act, rather than a physical assault forced on one person by another. Consider how often we talk about child victims "performing oral sex" on their adult perpetrators, rather than describing how adults forcibly penetrate a child. All of us need to be very careful not to use the language of consensual sex when we are describing a sexual assault.
Victim-Blaming Language:
Another trap we often fall into is to talk about sexual violence in ways that blame or objectify victims. This quote from a New York Times article is a great example: "Residents of the neighborhood…said she dressed older than her age, wearing makeup and fashions more appropriate to a woman in her 20s. She would hang out with teenage boys at the playground, some said."2 The person de-scribed by this author is an 11-year-old child who, according to police, was gang-raped by 18 men and teenaged boys on multiple occasions. The neighbors quoted in the article went on to describe how "these boys will have to live with this the rest of their lives," never stopping to consider the impact on the 11-year-old child.
The term "the accuser" has been nearly universally adopted to describe victims of sexual violence, even when referring to young children. Yet when we use this term, rather than victim or alleged victim, we shift the blame and responsibility from the perpetrator to the victim. Jackson Katz, the author and filmmaker, has the best explanation on why we should not use the term "accuser" to describe sexual assault victims. He explains how the term shifts the victim/perpetrator dynamics of a sexual assault: "She is now the perpetrator of an accusation against him. At the same time, he is transformed from the alleged perpetrator of sexual assault to the actual victim of her accusation. The public is thus positioned to identify sympathetically with him—to feel sorry for him—as the true victim."3 We need to think carefully how we talk about sexual assault victims and make sure that we are not blaming them or holding them responsible for their own victimization.
The "Invisible Perpetrator": Consider the difference between these two sentences: "Jessica was raped" versus "Matthew raped Jessica." In the first sentence, the perpetrator is completely invisible. The second sentence uses accountable language that focus-es our attention on the person committing the crime: Matthew. We often talk about how rapes "occur" as though they were random acts that just happened, as opposed to deliberate, intentional, criminal assaults committed by one person against another. In addition, we describe victims as objects of acts that have no specified agents, describing them as "abused women" or "battered women." We talk about "violent relationships" when it is the batterer, not the relationship, who is violent.
How Law Enforcement Officers Can Help:
It will take a concerted effort by all of us who work within the criminal justice system, the media, and society as a whole, to change how we talk about and respond to sexual violence. Law enforcement officers can play an important role here. Here are some recommendations for how you can help:
- Avoid using the language of consensual sex to describe assaultive acts. Instead, use language that describes body parts and what the victim was forced to do. Obviously, if you are quoting witnesses' statements or the language of the statute, you need to use their exact language.
- Use language that reflects the unilateral nature of the sexual violence; avoid language that suggests the acts were mutual.
- Use accountable language that places responsibility on the person committing the criminal acts; avoid the "invisible perpetrator."
- Help educate others about the importance of using accountable, accurate language when talking about sexual violence.

CLAYTON Municipalities should be able to decide for themselves, or at least have more say in, the outcome of wind project sitings, according to the leaders of area nonprofits.
The head of Save the River, meanwhile, said the group still advocates a moratorium on industrial wind development, which it proposed in 2010, until environmental impacts are assessed.
Thousand Islands Land Trusts executive director, Jake R. Tibbles, said that while the land trust supports the concept of renewable energy and strongly advocates energy efficiency and conservation activities, it does not support the siting of large commercial wind turbines.
The mission of TILT is to conserve the natural beauty, wildlife habitats and recreational opportunities of the Thousand Islands region; TILT is therefore opposed to the siting of industrial wind turbines within the view shed of the St. Lawrence River and its tributaries in the Thousand Islands region, Mr. Tibbles said Wednesday.
In a recent letter to the state Public Service Commission, Mr. Tibbles asked the Article X siting board to respect the wishes and concerns of the electorate in the region.
Lacking a regional comprehensive plan regarding the impact of multiple industrial wind projects in the Thousand Islands region, we respectfully request that the Article X Siting Board pay close attention to the work conducted by our local municipalities, he wrote. New York State has wisely chosen to be a home rule state, meaning that municipalities have been given the right to determine local land use decisions for their communities.
Gary S. DeYoung, executive director of the 1000 Islands International Tourism Council, echoed Mr. Tibbless support for home rule.
While the tourism council has no formal stance on commercial wind development, Mr. DeYoung said he, too, believes local officials should be the ones determining whats best for the community.
Additionally, Mr. Tibbles said, such decisions should be made after factoring in the long-term impacts on our tourist-based economy, wildlife, health, property values and the regions natural beauty.
D. Lee Willbanks, executive director of Save the River, said the problem with the states Article X siting process is that it doesnt require developers to conduct these long-term, regional impact studies.
Save the River in 2010 called for a three-year ban on wind turbines, citing the need for cumulative assessments on bird and bat mortality and other environmental impacts.
Mr. Willbanks pointed out Thursday that no such studies have been conducted by any of the proposed wind farm developers. He said Save the Rivers stance on industrial wind development remains the same as three years ago.
There are two wind projects proposed in the region, BPs Cape Vincent Wind Farm and Iberdrola Renewables Horse Creek Wind Farm in Clayton.
Spanish energy giant Iberdrola recently decided to pull out of Hammond, citing uncertainty in both the energy market and federal regulations regarding wind development.

The objective of this study is to test the safety and potential efficacy of ibudilast to treat methamphetamine dependence. The study hypotheses are that ibudilast will reduce methamphetamine use and increase treatment retention more than placebo among patients seeking treatment for methamphetamine dependence. As HIV infection is a common complication of methamphetamine dependence, half of the participants will be HIV positive and the study will assess whether ibudilast also improves HIV related outcomes (e.g. medication adherence, CD4 count, risk behaviors).

Detailed Description:
Ibudilast (IBUD) is a macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) and phosphodiesterase (PDE)-4 and -10 inhibitor at peak clinical exposures (Rolan, Hutchinson et al. 2009) that increases glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) expression (Mizuno, Kurotani et al. 2004) and reduces microglial activation (Suzumura, Ito et al. 1999; Suzumura, Ito et al. 2003), including HIV-induced glial activation (Kiebala and Maggirwar 2011). IBUD significantly reduces methamphetamine (MA) prime- and stress-induced reinstatement of MA seeking in rats (Beardsley, Shelton et al. 2010) and has multiple effects that may make it an effective treatment for MA dependence including amelioration of dopaminergic and neuroinflammatory dysfunction. Multiple studies implicate glial cells in a variety of neurodegenerative diseases (Hirsch and Hunot 2009; Sidoryk-Wegrzynowicz, Wegrzynowicz et al. 2011) including MA dependence and HIV infection (Nath 2010). Activated glial cells secrete pro-inflammatory mediators (Minghetti, Ajmone-Cat et al. 2005) that may exacerbate MA-induced dopaminergic dysfunction. Glial cells also produce neurotrophic factors, including GDNF, which may ameliorate dopaminergic dysfunction (Pascual, Hidalgo-Figueroa et al. 2008). Thus, IBUD may be an effective medication for MA dependence due to its modulation of glial cell activation resulting in amelioration of dopaminergic and neurocognitive dysfunction and improved treatment outcomes in MA dependence. IBUD may also have unique effects in HIV positive MA users as it may additionally block the degradation of neuronal integrity seen in HIV infection (Chana, Everall et al. 2006; Dash, Gorantla et al. 2011).

Today I decided to give baking some muffins a try in my kitchen, rather than experiment with something like this in the field.To cook the muffins, I used my FeatherFire alcohol stove (45g), a homemade windscreen (15g) and heat reflector (2g) and an older HAA pot. That's 62g or 2.2oz of stove equipment plus the pot.I filled the FeatherFire with 43g of methanol (nearly 2 fluid ounces). I then grabbed a fairly flat rock which just happened to fit nicely into my pot. The rock surface was fairly level.I used some banana muffin mix, the kind that requires only water. I mixed up a bit and put it in a aluminum tart cup. The aluminum cup only weighed 1.5g (or 0.05oz).Here's everything all set up:Having never done this before. My primary concern was burning the bottoms of the muffins long before they were cooked inside. Accordingly, I lit my stove and set it very low. I opened just 1 full turn (max is 5 full turns). So that's about 20% throttle.I checked on the muffins after 10 minutes. Things seemed to be going well, but the muffins were in danger of spilling over the rim because they weren't totally level. I spent a few minutes getting them more level with some tiny pebbles.After 15 minutes they looked like this:After 20 minutes they looked like this:They were starting to look good, but a toothpick revealed they were still gooey inside, which the top of the muffin also indicated.I gave them another 10 minutes (30min total) and they seemed to be done. A toothpick came out clean so I shut the stove off and took them out of the pot. They were looking pretty good, but I was still nervous they would be hard to get out of the tins and/or burnt on the bottom. To my joy, the muffins came out easily and looked perfect. Check out this culinary perfection:I let them cool for a few minutes and then took a deep bite to see what they looked like in the middle. Honestly, the muffins are as good as I could ever do at home. They were moist, fluffy and cooked all the way through. Hugely delicious.With the muffin devoured (and the other saved for my wife), I weighed my stove again to see how much fuel I had used. The result: 28.4g of methanol was used to cook these muffins for 30 minutes. Going forward, I'm definitely going to try this on the trail. Since the bottom of the muffin wasn't burnt in the slightest, I will likely use a bit more throttle next time with a goal of cooking them in 20 min instead of 30 min. That's still a lot of time though so these aren't exactly suited for adventure racers. One area for improvement is the qty/size of the muffins. It would be nice (and more efficient) to make more at once. I could almost fit 3 muffins into my pot but not quite. Having just one muffin of these size is really just a teaser. If I ate both it would have been a decent contribution to a meal. Perhaps in the future I could mix up the dough a bit thicker and thus fill the tins a bit fuller. Ideally, it would be nice to find deeper cups. I wonder how well a large meat pie tin would work. It might be hard to cook to the middle, but it would give you a lot more end product.BTW, The FeatherFire stove rocks. 30 minutes of cooking on one ounce of fuel (or 1.3 fl oz). If I filled this stove up with 2 fl oz I could bake or simmer for over 45 min. I wonder if could do lasagna?
Edited by dandydan on 09/20/2009 16:14:20 MDT.
Way to go, Dan!!I've tried doing the same at home, too and I have yet to take the full setup on the trail....bummer.I love my Caldera / Ti-Tri and need to see if I can bake with it.Your pics sure made me hungry.
The simmering function of the FeatherFire seems really handy for baking. It would be interesting to see how they cook at full blast. The aluminum tin seems to do a great job reflecting the heat. The edges of the muffin top were darker than the sides/bottom of the muffin so the tin is definately helping here. It's probably better to use tins like this rather than paper muffin cups which are more floppy and don't reflect the heat as much.
awesome... I need to get a FeatherFire... that's a perfect little stove. by the way - silicone muffin cups work really well too
Laurie- where do I find silicone muffin cups???
You can find silicone muffin liners in most stores that sell kitchen gear and on Amazon. Wilton sells quite a few, including the well known Silly Feet that have, well, feet!
JJ - I just bought a couple sets (6 muffin cups in each) from the local grocery store. They were $4.00 for the set. Check out the baking section of a department store like Sears or Walmart too.Here's a photo of my muffins after baking... we were on a wilderness lake in the middle of Algonquin Provincial Park. Now these were made in an Outback Oven because I was cooking for a group and using a white gas stove on that trip.

Wow...nice muffins!So how does silicon stack up against aluminum? It seems like the silicone would be more durable and less likely to get damaged in your pack, but it also looks heavier. The Silicone seems a bit easier to get the muffins out of since you can invert it, but the foil was pretty easy too. The foil looks like it would hold it's shape a bit better when you are lowering the raw muffins into the pot.Got a weight on the silicone cups? As mentioned, my aluminum foil ones were 1.4g (0.05oz) each.

Silicone will weigh more but is quite durable, easily washed up and removal is easier.While silicone will be flexible when putting in the pot just don't over fill and you won't have issues. You can also put the liners in first, then fill.
all of the muffins look so goodDan- what's the purpose of the rock inside the pan?
I know you can get the Silly Feet ones from Micheals the craft store. They work pretty good, too.
Yep! And also at Bed, Bath and Beyond usually (also Jo-Anns Fabrics).I love my Silly Feet, I use them for steam baking. No need for rocks as risers (I saw the question on why rocks used) - if you don't use a riser of some sorts for either steam or dry baking you can burn the item being baked.
what's the purpose of the rock inside the pan?The bottom of pot can get extremely hot (since it contacts the flame directly) so it would probably burn the bottom of the muffins if you set them directly on the pot. You can get things that raise up the baked goods (ie. grills that fit into your pot) but rocks also work pretty well to diffuse the heat and they don't add any weight to your pack since you can grab them pretty much anywhere.
Does the temperature of baking in small pots warp the metal????
It probably could....if you used a traditional alcohol stove on full blast then it seems like there's a real chance it could. Kinda depends on your pot too. I'm not sure which metals warp most easily.
Yes it will. Almost whenever you cook without liquid in your pot, the bottom will warp. When I cook muffins, I usually have the rocks and some water in the pot. The muffins will be steamed but my nice pot will still be nice.I find that I never liked baking muffins in muffin cups. I usually just make a giant muffin-cake sort of thing.EDIT - Smaller pots, like the 550, are less susceptible to warping than say, a MSR Titan Kettle.
Edited by Antig on 09/22/2009 02:13:31 MDT.
okay... just had my scale out... the weight between 2 of my silicone muffins cups and 2 of the aluminum ones was less than 0.25 gram (my scale isn't more precise than that because it isn't digital - sorry). The thing is that silicone ones I have don't have the ones with the goofy feet. They are cute but those feet add weight. The silicone liners last for decades so overall that is better for the environment too. They are also flexible so they don't get munched in the pack - even if you squish them badly they come right back to shape. And they take up less space than their aluminium foil counterparts. Silicone is also a non-stick surface so muffins come out much easier without the surface having to be greased. This isn't an issue with a plain batter but if you have something with dried fruit and the like sticking can be an issue.edited... to add a missing word

Also, I meant to mention that Sarah is right about the need to add water to the bottom of the pot if you aren't using a riser. You can easily make a riser if you prefer to dry bake. I have one that is simply made from the same type of foil that MSR makes wind screens from. It is two longer pieces of the foil that are one inch wide. There is a slit in the centre of each piece that goes three quarters of the way through. This allows me to make the pieces into a plus. Then I have another piece of ths same foil cut in a circle that I sit on top of the plus. This reflects some of the heat back down so the baking doesn't burn (much like the idea of the riser that came with the Outback Oven). I still use something inside to raise what I am baking up... this allows for air to flow around and create the oven effect whereas with the Outback Oven I use the fabric convection hood to acheive the same thing eliminating the need to raise the food up.And another photo to make you all hungry this morning... (I don't use the stainless steel pots anymore except for car camping - too darn heavy... this was about 10 years ago and they are cinnamon raisin dots that served 4 people for breakfast on a more relaxed day). edited to add a photo and this...While I do have a lighter weight approach to food - it isn't UL and my personal decision is that I'm not about to trade in good tasting food or variety on our trips for mere calories (like just eating straight pb or lard as I've heard some UL hikers do - I can't do that)... so my way of doing things isn't for everyone.
Edited by Laurie_Ann on 09/22/2009 06:13:06 MDT.
You want to be wary of warping with thin pots. Especially Ti which can get red hot faster than you would think it can.This is one reason I steam bake - I have warped a too pricey Ti pot (not that I cannot use it or anything, but hoo, it does not sit flat anymore!)
Do you think my Ti pot would warp doing what I did? I used a HAA pot for this and it didn't seem to be that hot or get warped because the stove was on pretty low.Is there some way of adding something to the pot besides water to minimize this? I'm thinking maybe dirt and then a big rock? Or would dirt bake on? Maybe some small pebbles/gravel in the bottom and then a big flat rock?

It's the City by the Bay, often partially veiled by the eerie fog, but beautiful at sunrise, noon, sunset and truly sparkling at night! From the air you can see how the Painted Ladies hug the hillsides and the downtown skyscrapers frame Fisherman's Wharf. Fortunately the seals aren't quite so "fragrant" from your vantage point at 1000 feet up aboard a genuine airship!
On your way out to the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, you'll see the construction of the Bay Bridge and the immense cranes of the Port of Oakland. While the classic sights are appealing, containers lined up like Lego bricks, or even traffic jams at the toll plaza, provide something unexpected and mind expanding.
The sun dances across the waterfront towns of Sausalito and Tiburon, and catches the vivid colors of the sailboats out on the Bay. The ferry churns the water as it docks at the Ferry Building, people disembarking into the crowded Farmers Market. You gaze down on Golden Gate Park at the humanity below. Do they have flowers in their hair?
You're guaranteed to leave your heart onboard the Zeppelin, if not in San Francisco!
This tour requires a minimum number of passengers in order to depart. It's recommended you be flexible with your schedule as there may be some wait time necessary to fill the maximum number required. If your preferred time of day and/or date are not yet guaranteed, you may be contacted with options for alternate guaranteed flights.

Oklahoma State men's basketball coach Travis Ford sees nothing wrong with storming the court.
Texas coach Rick Barnes can't stand them.
Oklahoma State men's basketball coach Travis Ford sees nothing wrong with storming the court.
Texas coach Rick Barnes can't stand them.
What should be done about fans who try to run onto the court after an upset victory? Should there be a policy in place? What about injuries to players and fans?
The Big 12 coaches weighed in during Monday's Big 12 Conference call.
While a majority of coaches said they believe there does need to be a plan in place that allows the opposing team to get off the floor safely, Barnes said it shouldn't be allowed at all.
"I've never liked it," he said. "I didn't want our guys to ever think things were huge upsets. Act like you expect to win. What you're really doing is you're really paying respect to the other team."
Barnes said when he was a coach at Providence, an altercation came out of fans storming the court.
"I'm not one for it because I've seen some things happen that aren't good for the game," Barnes said. "It's just something that good doesn't come from."
However, West Virginia coach Bob Huggins said he saw a bad thing "a time or two" from a court storm but the conference has "got a lot bigger concerns than that honestly."
Ford stood firm on seeing nothing wrong with storming the court.
"I understand a lot of the concerns, but you could start getting into a lot of other stuff as well," Ford said. "I think it's an exciting time for the fans and the interaction for the fans to be a part of the game. I think it's an exciting part of the game."
Oklahoma State coach Travis Ford believes Marcus Smart is one of the best players in the country.
Monday, he made his case:
"This young man, obviously he affects the game in so many ways," Ford said. "We ask him to score. We ask him to get assists. We ask him to get steals. We ask him to guard for 94 feet, and he does all this at a very, very high rate and a very high efficiency. He's just a young man that really affects the game."

Dr. Jones is a very nice person, he is polite, experienced and very helpful, I would say his diagnosis have been precise with my kids, my only two complaints are that his office REALLY needs updating, it looks old and dirty, they have toys for the kids to play while waiting and they are SOOO DIRTY!! like your kids might not be sick but they probably get enough germs and viruses to be the next in the list of sick children, the staff also can be more polite, the desk ladies are sweet, but some of the other nurses can use a smile.

Dr Jones is an absolutely incredible Doctor. He is so good with my newborn. He completely puts her at ease and I can tell she is very comfortable in his presence. He is so knowledgable and tells me all the time what a great mommy I am. My husband went to Dr Joes when he was little and Dr Hones still remembers him and his family. He is a fantastic person, and I would recommend him to anyone. I think his staff is great too. I have never had any problems when going in there. It's always a pleasant experience at Dr Jones office. Best Doctor on the planet guaranteed :))

Dr. Jones is an amazing pediatrician! We moved to Fresno when my daughter was 10 weeks old and it was hard finding a pediatrician in an area that you are unfamiliar with. I had three friends of mine recommend Dr. Jones and luckily I was able to get in. He has amazing bedside manner, is very clear and concise about his diagnosis and is very knowledgable. For a first time mother he has helped ease my fear when my daughter has been ill. I highly recommend him and trust him! His front desk staff are a bit abrupt and short-I assume it is because of the large patient load they manage, but I can deal with that to continue to have Dr. Jones' as my daughters pediatrician. His MA's on the other hand are wonderful! Thanks Dr. Jones!! You have been such a blessing to our family!!

My son has been with Dr. Jones since his birth 5 years ago. He is an amazing doctor!! He'll not only take EXCELLENT care of your child but the parents as well. My son was once really sick and I was not feeling well myself. He noticed how stuffed up & hard of hearing I was. He then had his MA clean/flush out my ears. I felt better and my son felt better with in days. GREAT! GEAT! GREAT PEDIATRICIAN & office staff!

The adult medical clinic within the North Country Children's Clinic, 238 Arsenal St., will open full time beginning Monday.
Appointments will be available from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays to Fridays, and then in January, the clinic will also be open two Saturdays each month. Next week, a nutritionist will begin working with the clinic a few days a week.
"The excitement first is being able to care for people no one else is," said Dawn Scott, nurse practitioner. "Second is to not have any barriers to care, based on insurance."
As a federally qualified health center, the clinic must care for anyone who walks through its doors. Patients who are uninsured or under-insured may utilize the agency's sliding fee scale.
Since the adult clinic opened part time about two months ago, Mrs. Scott and fellow nurse practitioner Valerie Meyers have seen 232 patients. About two-thirds of those patients have had either Medicaid or Medicare.
"We haven't done any advertising or marketing for this," said Janice L. Charles, interim executive director and agency co-founder. "It confirms what I've known, and what many have known, for years — it's needed. There were some skeptics in the community, but we've been overwhelmed."
Jennifer Condrey, Children's Clinic deputy director of health, said the wait time for an appointment is only about eight days.
Donna L. Ransier-VanWaldick, Rodman, said she was one of Mrs. Scott's first patients when the clinic opened Oct. 3. Mrs. Scott had been Mrs. Ransier-VanWaldick's practitioner for many years at Mercy Primary Care, 218 Stone St. Like Mrs. Ransier-VanWaldick, Mrs. Scott said many former Mercy Primary Care patients now go to the adult medical clinic because quality care there is just one block away from Mercy Primary Care. Mercy Primary Care is scheduled to close soon.
"When I heard she came here, I said, 'Darn,' because I was under the assumption the clinic was for uninsured or under-insured," Mrs. Ransier-VanWaldick said. "I don't see a stigma here because I have insurance. My sister has none, and I wish to God she lived here so I could take her here."
Mrs. Ransier-VanWaldick said she will keep the adult medical clinic as her primary care source for routine health-care needs.
As time allows, the adult medical clinic will offer even more services, such as substance-abuse and alcoholism treatment, as required by its federally qualified health center status. Mrs. Charles said the clinic is in the process of negotiating contracts to partner with area organizations to deliver those required services. The agency, however, is still working toward getting low-cost vaccinations and medications for adult medical clinic patients.
Another component the agency is working on, Mrs. Charles said, is providing medical care to the area's homeless. She said $200,000 of the $650,000 grant the agency received in June to reach the federally qualified health center status must be dedicated to homeless care. A case manager will be hired to help with that program.
Mrs. Condrey said without the opening of the clinic, many adults would not have care. One patient, she said, walked through the clinic doors after not having received primary care for 14 years.
One of the challenges going forward, Mrs. Charles said, is to keep a fund strong enough to support people who utilize the agency's sliding fee scale to pay for services. She said the agency anticipated it would provide $500,000 worth of care alone for free to pediatric patients. Community support is always needed, she said.

The season of spring means a great time to make your community a better place.
And volunteers from ReStore Marietta put it into good use as they made their way downtown for the annual Clean Sweep event Saturday afternoon.
Volunteers took time out of their Saturday cleaning up litter, trimming hedges and mulching flower beds.
C-4 Central Business District, Harmar Village and portions of the bike trail from Ohio and Fourth Streets were among the downtown locations looking more beautiful.
ReStore Marietta is a non-profit organization focusing on four different points of downtown revitalization.
"One of those committees are design and it's all about how the downtown looks to guests, visitors and residents and we think it's a quality of life issue as far as recruiting and retaining residents, allowing the shoppers to get enough traffic and have an enjoyable shopping experience downtown," says ReStore Marietta Executive Director, Mallory Greenham.
If you didn't make it out to the Clean Sweep but would still like to help out, ReStore Marietta are accepting donations of garden tools and supplies.
All donations can be dropped off at the ReStore Marietta Main Office at 132 Putnam Street in Downtown Marietta.
For more information, contact Executive Director, Mallory Greenham, at 740-885-8194.

Having been a long time supporter of Boateng, Nike recently enlisted him to front their latest campaign for the new Tiempo '94 sneaker. Based on the coveted soccer boot of the same name that was first released during the World Cup in 1994, the shoe has been accordingly reworked into a lifestyle silhouette to be worn off the field. Revolving around leaders and rebels, Boateng seems to be a perfect match for the campaign.
Born and raised in Berlin, he spent his youth honing his soccer skills along with his elder brothers in the streets of the gritty Wedding neighborhood. Here he also learned perseverance and toughness – important traits that would also come in handy in the world of professional soccer. Although he retains a certain rebellious edge, Boateng is often characterized as rather timid and reserved. Perhaps the campaign is a way for the star to convince all of his critics of the contrary. "It doesn't really bother me," he tells us, "I'm actually rather reserved. Although when I'm with my family or hanging with my friends, I tend to be much more outgoing. However on the field, you will quickly notice that's when I really come out of my shell. During those 90 minutes I give everything that I've got."
The competitive environment of professional sports sees some proper trash talking on a regular basis, with players walking a fine line between confidence and full-blown arrogance. Just recently when asked about his Balon d'Or award, Swedish player Zlatan Ibrahimovic exclaimed that he doesn't need a trophy to remind himself that he's the best. "A healthy dose of confidence is never bad," Boateng comments, "especially on the field. I think it's important to show your fellow players, as well as your opponents, the same amount of respect. Of course, this also applies to when you're off the field."
Besides his career as a world-class athlete, Boateng is also known as a devoted sneakerhead. Calling several hundred of them his own, the exact number remains a mystery as he explains he's "stopped counting." His collection includes timeless classics such as the Nike Dunk and Air Max silhouettes, all the way to top-tier releases including the Air Yeezys. Having once crowded an entire room in his Munich apartment, they are now kept neatly stored in custom-made shelves.
Though running and basketball sneakers clearly dominate the scene right now, soccer is slowly but surely gaining ground. The ongoing Nike CR7 collection, as well as the current Tiempo '94 model, is a sure indicator of soccer's rise in popularity. Of course, Boateng welcomes the attention his sport is receiving through the Tiempo revival. "I'm really looking forward to the release. The Tiempo '94 soccer boot proved to be a timeless classic and the sneaker silhouette will surely contribute to making soccer more accessible to a broader audience."

Her-2-Neu is overexpressed in approximately 25% of breast cancer patients and confers a worse prognosis. Adjuvant trastuzumab improves outcome in node-positive breast cancer patients with Her-2-Neu positivity and high risk node-negative patients with Her-2-Neu positivity. Systemic treatment concurrent with radiotherapy is a potentially desirable option as neither treatment is delayed, and systemic therapy may enhance radiation effects on tumor cells. However, increased acute toxicity associated with concurrent treatment is well-documented. This study was undertaken to evaluate acute toxicity when trastuzumab is given concurrently with radiation.
Materials and Methods
Author's Conclusions
Clinical/Scientific Implications
This small retrospective study with short follow-up documented an acceptable acute toxicity profile for trastuzumab delivered concurrently with radiation. There is significant interest in adding biologic therapies to radiation therapy concurrently. Future prospective studies are warranted to more fully quantify the risk of both acute and late toxicity as well as outcomes related to local and systemic disease control.

I It was a sad day, a sad day indeed for Carbon and Emery Counties, when Robert Murray and his Murray Energy Company became involved in the local mining industry.
The mere mention of the highly vocal Murray's name brings back flashes of a picture etched in my mind, and I'm sure of many more in this area, of the man raving and ranting on television at the portal of the Crandall Canyon mine, "It was caused by an earthquake, It was caused by an earthquake".
