JERUSALEM (AP) — A relative lull descended on the war-torn Gaza Strip at the start of a major Muslim holiday on Monday, as international efforts intensified to end the three-week war between Israel and Hamas and the U.N. called for an "immediate" cease-fire.
The calm came as Muslims started celebrating the Eid al-Fitr holiday marking the end of the fasting month of Ramadan.
But there was little holiday cheer in the Gaza Strip, where Palestinian families huddled inside their homes, fearing more airstrikes. At a cemetery in Gaza City's Sheik Radwan neighborhood, those who came to pay traditional respects at their ancestors' graves gathered around a large crater from an airstrike a week ago that had broken up several graves.
The Israeli military said it had not carried out any attacks in Gaza since 9:30 p.m. on Sunday but that troops on the ground were pressing on with efforts to destroy the cross-border tunnels constructed by Hamas for attacks inside Israel.
The military also said that Hamas fired a single rocket into Israel in the morning hours Monday, but that there was no damage or casualties.
The Israeli army opened artillery fire on Beit Lahia in northern Gaza in response to the rocket fired at Ashkelon, said the office of Israel's military spokesman. "Quiet will be met with quiet," the office statement said.
In New York, an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council called for "an immediate and unconditional humanitarian cease-fire," its strongest statement yet on the conflict that has already killed 1,030 Palestinians and 43 Israeli soldiers. Also, two Israeli civilians and a Thai worker in Israel have died in rocket and mortar attacks from Gaza.
The pressure for a cease-fire followed new attacks launched by Israel and Hamas on Sunday despite back-and-forth over proposals for another temporary halt to the fighting. The Security Council urged Israel and Hamas "to accept and fully implement the humanitarian cease-fire into the Eid period and beyond." It said this would allow for the delivery of urgently needed assistance.
The council's presidential statement also called on the parties "to engage in efforts to achieve a durable and fully respected cease-fire, based on the Egyptian initiative."
Israel did not immediately comment on the statement.
On Sunday, President Barack Obama telephoned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to express his concern over the mounting Palestinian casualties.
The White House said Obama reiterated that Israel has a right to defend itself and condemned Hamas' rocket attacks. Obama said a lasting peace will ultimately require a demilitarized Gaza and dismantling of terror groups. The U.S. president also pushing for an immediate, unconditional cease-fire that would allow Israeli and Palestinian civilians to return to normalcy.
International diplomats have hoped that a temporary lull in the fighting could be expanded into a more sustainable truce to end the bloodshed.
Laub reported from Gaza City, Gaza Strip. Associated Press writer Edith M. Lederer at the United Nations contributed to this report.

Footprints of Pioneer Scientists-58Written by The Peoples Chronicle
Helen M. Blau (1948-)
Pioneer British American Pharmacologist
Debananda S. Ningthoujam, PhD
Ifyou cut off a newt's tail, it can regrow it, and if a piece of zebra fish heart is sliced off, it can regenerate it. Why can't humans do the same? Human beings have lost this ancestral regenerative capacity except for our ability to intermittently regenerate our skin, intestinal lining and blood cells. The liver is the only human organ with some level of regenerative capacity. Many scientists believe that we evolved to gradually lose the regenerative capacity in order to prevent cancers.
This is a question that has pondered several pathbreaking scientists. Previously scientists thought that cells in higher organisms such as mice and men have lost this plasticity and their differentiated cells are terminally fixed with no scope for regaining the stem-like potential. But one scientist changed this thinking forever. This scientist is world renowned for her forays into understanding and reprogramming of cell fates.
The scientist under the scanner is a renowned pharmaceutical biologist who made trailblazing contributions in nuclear reprogramming, heterokaryon production and stem cell biology.
Her researches have profound implications for ischemic limbs, muscle wasting, neurodegenerative and other human diseases.
Not only is this scientist's field of study at the meeting point of several disciplines, her life itself is an amalgam of a diversity of experiences and cultures having born in London, growing up in France and Germany and finally getting higher education and career in USA. She speaks English, French and German with equal ease.
Who is this trailblazing scientist?
Helen was born in London in 1948. Till age 6, she stayed in USA as her father was a teacher of world history. At age 9, she and her sister stayed in a farm in Austria. But she grew up mostly in France and Germany as she led a peripatetic life following her father who was posted in Europe. Her mother was a teacher of literature. She speaks English, French and German equally fluently. Blau has a sister.
Higher Education
She did her BA from York University, UK (1969). Later, she received her MA (1970) and PhD (1975) degrees from Harvard University.
Helen then pursued postdoctoral training at UCSF (1975-78).
Shehas been in the Stanford faculty since 1978 and is now director of the Baxter Lab at Stanford University.
Research Contributions
Her research has beenfocused on nuclear fusion, reprogramming, cell fate plasticity and, how bone marrow stem cells may regenerate brain tissues etc.
Blau was the first to demonstrate that nuclear reprogramming in heterokaryons can induce plasticity in terminally differentiated cells in mammals e.g. mice. In the 1980s, she fused certain body cells with muscle cells and found that they started expressing muscle genes. She thus proved for the first time that the so-called terminally differentiated cells are not 'locked' in a final state and can be reprogrammed through the formation of heterokaryons through cell fusion. This breakthrough finding was published in the prestigious journal Science.
Her group also designed novel hydrogel matrices for culturing adult stem cells and preventing loss of 'stemness' that happens when you grow them in plastic dishes.
She also found out that Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)-a muscle wasting disease- is caused by deficiency of a protein called dystrophin and shortened telomeres.
Blau also demonstrated that knocking off certain tumor suppressor genes-genes that prevent onset of cancers-stimulate regeneration in mammals including humans. Her team showed that transient inactivation of tumor suppressor genes-Rb (retinoblastoma gene) and ARF-restored regenerative capacity in mammalian muscle cells.
Personal Life
Dr Blau is married to David Spiegel, a Stanford psychologist, and they have two children, son Daniel, and daughter Julia. Her son is a Harvard-trained architect and her daughter is a Yale law school graduate.
Helen Blau has written some books on regenerative medicine. She is a Co-Editor of "Neuromuscular Development and Disease."
Awards and honours
Blauhas got innumerable accolades for her scientific accomplishments.
Helen was a Basil O'Connor Faculty Fellow (1978-81), William Hume Faculty Scholar (1981-84), Career Development Awardee, NIH (1984-89), Career Recognition Awardee of WICB, American Society of Cell Biology (ASCB) (1992). She won the FASEB Excellence in Science Award in 1999. She also got the MERIT award from the NIH (1995-2005) and Nobel Forum Lecture, Sweden (1995).
She has also received McKnight award (2001), Fulbright Senior Specialist, Institut Pasteur (2007), and Fulbright Senior Specialist, Institut Curie (2011).
Memberships of professional Societies
Helen is a member of several scientific societies. She is an elected member of American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences.
She also got elected to the American Association for the Advancement of Science, American Heart Association, ASBMB, ASCB, FASEB and International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR), among others.
In addition, Blau is a member of the Scientific Advisory Board of the Ellison Medical Foundation and Harvard Board of Overseers.
Blau has been president of American Society for Developmental Biology (1994-95), and International Society of Differentiation (2002-2004).
Honorary Degrees
Dr Blau received an honorary doctorate from the University of Nijmegen, Holland, in 2003.
Editorial Boards
DrBlau is on the editorial boards of several frontline scientific journals including FASEB Journal, Stem Cell Reports, Differentiation, Genes to Cells, Experimental Cell Research, and Advances in Stem Cell Aging and Current Opinion in Genetics and Development. She is Associate Editor of FASEB Journal and Senior Editor of Genes to Cells.
Blau was chosen for the 7th Annual AACR-Irvin Weinstein Foundation Distinguished Lectureship (2011), Robert Stewell Lectureship (2004), Isadore Smith Lectureship (2002), Distinguished Lecturer in Regenerative Medicine (2012) and Ida Green Distinguished Professorship.
Regarding the excitement of discovery in science, Blau says "I like to look down the microscope and see things other people haven't seen." About juggling a hectic career in science with family life, she feels that one stimulated the other. She says "I think I was a better mother because I loved my work and a better scientist because I did not invest my entire life in my career."
Regarding Helen's passionate interest in cell biology, her husband, David Spiegel, used to encourage her in the beginning of her career by telling her "You think like a cell. You have a special gift and you have to realize it."
Helen Blau's wonderful life and career will inspire several generations of aspiring young scientists, especially those with strong interests in cell biology, stem cell biology, and regenerative medicine.

Alleged shooter found at hospital
by Sarah Fay Campbell
A suspect in the Tuesday evening shooting death of two men on Hill Street in Newnan was taken into custody Wednesday at Atlanta Medical Center.
Police are investigating a separate shooting that occurred on Tuesday but have no suspects. A person of interest in the shooting of a man on Lovelace Street turned out to be in prison, said Newnan Police Chief Douglas "Buster" Meadows.
Investigators were hoping to talk to the victim in the Lovelace shooting, Jerome "Spanky" Greir Jr., said Meadows. Grier was taken by helicopter ambulance to Atlanta Medical Center after the shooting and was in critical condition. He is expected to survive.
Though the shootings occurred just a few hours apart, "at present we have nothing to indicate that" the two incidents are related, Meadows said. However, "it's still early" in the investigation.
The Lovelace Street shooting occurred around 1 p.m. Tuesday. Authorities responded to the Hill Street shooting around 6:45.
The Hill Street shooting suspect, Kamikie Nechez "Chez" Wilkins, 23, was having surgery for non life-threatening injuries at Atlanta Medical Center when the Newnan Police Department discovered he was there, according to Meadows.
Meadows would not specify how officials found out that Wilkins was at the hospital, but he did say "we had a lot of people who talked to us and helped us out."
Darian Person, 23, and Gregory Marquel Anderson, 31, died as a result of the shooting incident on Hill Street. When officials arrived, both men were lying in the street. One was pronounced dead on the scene, while the other died at Piedmont Newnan Hospital.
According to Meadows, Wilkins got into an altercation with both Anderson and Person before the shooting occurred.
At least one of the victims exchanged gunfire with Wilkins.
Person made some public posts on his Facebook page in the hours before the shooting.
At 1:51, Person posted that the police were "hot as a MF" on the west side. "I repeat, dey is hot, dey ain't bullshittin'… I'm out."
Lovelace Street is on the west side of Newnan, while Hill Street is east of downtown. At 2:45, Person posted two words: "street certified."

Google chimes in as U.S. Senate explores investment in clean energy
With high fuel prices and a troubled credit market dragging down the U.S. economy, why is now the right time for more investment in breakthrough energy technology?
Earlier this week, Google.org's Director of Climate Change and Energy Initiatives, Dan Reicher, offered an answer to that question at a hearing before the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. The session examined important legislation aimed at making it easier for clean and energy efficient technologies to get the funding they need to make it from the drawing board to the mainstream, where they can make a real impact on our economy and energy security.
Dan's testimony focused on two points. First, he argued that legislation aimed at spurring clean technology deployment must focus on financing promising high-risk projects in their early stages, so that they make it through the investment "Valley of Death" between the pilot project stage and full-scale commercial implementation. Second, he explained that a secondary market for energy project loans, and government-sponsored loan guarantees would make lending in this space more attractive.
Dan proposed that the two current pieces of legislation, offered separately by Chairman Jeff Bingaman and Ranking Member Pete V. Domenici, could be combined to move this issue forward.
1 comment:
Why should the government provide this kind of financing and not private investors?ReplyDelete
I mean I understand in theory that since the markets aren't perfect, we might be smart to meddle a bit to level the playing fields, but I worry about the government's definition of "promising."
There must be thousands of projects that could be supported, all of which probably have reasonable arguments why their technologies are THE magic beans, and the government can't finance them all. Who make the investment decisions? How are they made? And do these people have successful track records?
Sorry to be skeptical. I would absolutely love to see the best of these technologies get to market and make their contributions to the energy revolution, but I have some fears about the government's ability to make good investments.

The war in Iraq has been largely unsuccessful, according to nearly two-thirds (63%) of the British public. A new poll has revealed that only just over a quarter (29%) of voters regard the war as largely a success.
Clare Short MP, the former Secretary of State for International Development, has spoken of her belief that the world's richest countries are collaborating in slavery today in the same way Christian Churches collaborated in the Slave Trade over 200 years ago.
Clare Short, seen by many in the churches as an important ally over issues of peacemaking and international development, has said she is to step down as an MP.
Mark Thompson, is the most influential Roman Catholic lay person in Britain, according to an analysis by the Catholic weekly The Tablet.
Clare Short has warned that whilst questions must be answered following the death of the MoD adviser Dr David Kelly, to forget the thousands of Iraqi civilians who died in the Iraq war would be to fail to give equal value to all human life.
In a surprising statement on Good Friday, the International Development Secretary revealed that she thinks in theological terms.
International development secretary Clare Short has set off for New York on a 'healing mission' where she will meet with top-level UN officials in a bid to discuss the post-conflict reconstruction of Iraq.

About Last Night: Gee got stronger as he progressed
In last night's 7-5 victory over the Rockies, Dillon Gee allowed three earned runs on seven hits while walking two and striking out seven in seven innings.
Gee faced 29 batters and threw 116 pitches, 77 of which were strikes.
"I actually felt like I was getting stronger as the game went on," Gee told reporters after the game. "In the sixth and seventh innings, I felt some of the best I had felt all night. It's definitely a positive sign to be at 110 pitches and still feel good."
Gee retired nine of the final ten batters he faced and improved to 2-2 with a 4.85 ERA in 26 innings over four starts this season.
Michael Baron: Typically, its very difficult to get breaking balls to break at Coors Field, but Gee was actually getting some nice break on his curveball. He needed that early in the game because his fastball looked kind of lifeless at that stage of the game. However, he made some kind of adjustment and not only did he find the command of his fastball, but the velocity and movement to go with it after a very rough fourth inning. That, coupled with his outstanding change-up made the fifth, sixth and seventh innings a breeze for him as he dominated the Rockies lineup from that point forward.

New Press Releases
(Grants Pass, Oregon)--Fire Mountain Gems and Beads®, America's Favorite Beading and Jewelry Supply Company®, announces a new line of affordable silver-plated jewelry components from Hill Tribes, including items styled for the American market.
After several years of producing only fine sterling silver beads and components, the Hill Tribes silversmiths of Thailand continue to adapt their products to the needs of the jewelry industry in today's challenging economy. With the continued increase in silver pricing, the Hill Tribes had to make changes to actively stay in business.
To do this, they introduced their own line of affordable plated jewelry components on both brass and copper bases. For many years these artisans were used to handling pure silver, fine-tuning their skills, techniques and equipment to this one medium. Since copper and brass are harder metals to form, the artisans had to develop new methods and invest in a new set of tools to maintain their standard of handmade quality. Along with devising new production techniques, the artisans also developed a new selection of links, drops, focals and clasps styled for the American market with smoother, simpler, more elegant designs.
You can learn more about the Hill Tribes artisans with these articles:

Ryan, who will have final say after collaborating with Idzik, offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg, quarterbacks coach David Lee and others, was poised to declare Smith the winner in the quarterback competition as long as he didn't implode against Jacksonville, according to sources.However, the Jets made the mistake of having Smith practice all week in the run-up to the game. Smith didn't play after his ankle predictably didn't get better that week.Sanchez, the No. 5 pick in the 2009 draft out of USC, has posted a 71.7 QB rating in his four seasons as the Jets' starter, throwing 68 touchdowns and 69 interceptions. He led the team to two consecutive AFC Championship Game appearances, both losses, in his first two seasons.Smith has completed 23 of 37 pass attempts for 246 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions in two preseason games.BANKS: Twenty bold predictions for 2013 NFL season Promoted Stories Comments

I really like this gel eyeliner. It is a coppery brown. I like that it's not too dark so it's easy to wear and not look overdone. I usually wear it with rubanesque paint pot by mac, RSVP cream shadow by Benefit, sin by urbane decay or naked lunch by mac. It makes blue eyes totally stand out with a peachy or pink eyeshadow. I will for 100% repurchase. Only small drawback that I see as a positive is that it's not as pigmented as some of the fluid lines. Makes it easier to blend and wear as a less dramatic look.

The fluid line pots are the only gel eyeliners in a pot I own. I normally don't like to be bothered by taking an additional step to apply eyeliner with a brush, but for these eyeliners, I will. I've had the 3 colors I own for over three years and still have plenty left--a little goes a long way and with how much is in the pot, this will last another 3 years at least! This color works well with making my blue eyes pop. It's a shimmery copper with slight orange tones. It applies with even pigment and stays put. No smudges or fading. A repurchase (assuming I run out-which won't be any time soon).

I have used this product nearly faithfully for 8 years. I love it, it always performs and I've never had a bad batch.
I've tried several other drugstore brands in the search for a cheaper option, L'Oreal, ELF etc and in the end they don't set up fast enough, they smudge during the day, and then they dry out.
The MAC Fluidline costs $16, L'Oreal's comparable product $8. When using the L'Oreal I would have to replace it every 3-4 months, anywhere from 2-4 per year. A pot of fluidline will last 2 years+ depending on use. My current fluidline is 2.5 years old, nearly daily use and I'm thinking about replacing it only because that "feels" too old for eyeliner, despite having a rotation of 4 brushes in constant wash.
In the end the MAC Fluidline is cheaper and better than it's competitors.

I love this eyeliner. I have a few other fluidlines since before. It is definitely my HG gel eyeliner. The only downside is that you have to use a brush to apply it.
"Rich Ground" is a lovely shimmery copper color. Fantastic quality and staying power, easy application... Everything is great. Would definitely repurchase even though "Rich Ground" is not my favorite fluidline.

MAC Fluidline is my HG gel eyeliner. I got my jar of Blitz and Glitz in 2009 and it has lasted me over three years. A year later I picked up Rich Ground. Both apply really smoothly. I've had my jar of Delphic for four an a half years. This colour doesn't stand out on my medium complexion on its own so I use mainly for my waterline with Blitz and Glitz on my lash line.
Up until recently, Fluidline has been the only eyeliner that has stayed put all day on my combination/oily skin even on hot humid summer days!
The liner layers on thin and subtle or thick and bold (depending on the look I'm going for) with an angled eyeliner brush. I can also change the look by layering eyeshadow on top of the liner as well.
The downside of this eyeliner is that is it a gel and you have to use a brush. It can be a bit time consuming for early mornings before work. For that reason, I've recently discovered Make Up For Ever's Aqua Eyes pencils which give me a similar look but take much less time to apply. (I'm not a morning person, lol). However, when I'm not in a rush, The look and longevity of Fluidline is totally worth the effort!
I gave Fluidline a 2 for packaging because the jars are made of glass and I've dropped and cracked one of my jars a few times. The poor jar is covered in tape :(

I like to have many colour options available to me when I find a product that really works well for me. After having such good results with Blacktrack fluidline, I decided to purchase Rich Ground. It performs just as well as Blacktrack, smooth consistency and lasts all day both on upper lashline and waterline. It's not your average brown shade - it has a metallic sheen and is more of a coppery-bronze brown. Can be paired with brown or green eyeshadows, but don't just take my word for it, try it!

I have really green eyes. Not hazel, not green brown. Basically just green. Purple eyeliner doesnt really enhance my eyecolor. This fluidline, isnt quite brown, not quite gold, or orange, It meets perfectly in the middle for a flattering bronisg orangish redish color. Can't describe it. On the opposite side of the color wheel.. Would be orange for green. I dont know about you guys... but orange can look odd. Not the easiest color to work with. lol Thats why i love this! It's natural, soft... yet the orange in this eyeliner really brings out the eyes. I think it would be great for blue eyes as well, since there is a bit of antiqued gold as well. it's creamy and it's beautiful! My favorite! I like to put it on the waterline and on the bottom lash line... smudge it out abit, it looks so beautiful and sultry!
I would recommend this to anyone! It;s very universal :)

I am on my second pot of this I have been using this for years. I LOVE it and cannot live without it. Before I tried this I was using Rimmel's eyeliner pencil in ginger tea?! (which has been discontinued) its been so long I can't remember the exact name for it but it was ginger something. Well, rich ground is even better than it. It makes my green hazel eyes pop without looking unnatural. I do not wear eyeshadow. I just apply painterly paint pot all over my lid and then this. I wear it every single day and never tire of it. I have even died my hair from light brown with highlights to a chestnut brown and it still looks great. highly recommend.

This is my go to eyeliner. I have had a lot of compliments on it, even from guys. It is a perfect daytime color. The consistency is nice and it goes on smoothly. I am on my second pot and I will definitely buy again once I am out. It is the perfect copper color.

I can reach only two plausible conclusions: MT is haunted, or we are being hit with a DDOS attack.
I have to go to class soon so I can't wait around for Rio to show up, or whatever, so I figured posting this here is the safest best.

(a) In general
Subject to the succeeding provisions of this section, a State may elect through an amendment to its State child health plan under section 1397bb of this title to provide pregnancy-related assistance under such plan for targeted low-income pregnant women.

(A) for pregnant women under subsection (a)(10)(A)(i)(III), (a)(10)(A)(i)(IV), or (l)(1)(A) ofsection 1396a of this title that is at least 185 percent (or such higher percent as the State has in effect with regard to pregnant women under this subchapter) of the poverty line applicable to a family of the size involved, but in no case lower than the percent in effect under any such subsection as of July 1, 2008; and
(2) No CHIP income eligibility level for pregnant women lower than the State's Medicaid level
The State does not apply an effective income level for pregnant women under the State plan amendment that is lower than the effective income level (expressed as a percent of the poverty line and considering applicable income disregards) specified under subsection (a)(10)(A)(i)(III), (a)(10)(A)(i)(IV), or (l)(1)(A) ofsection 1396a of this title, on February 4, 2009, to be eligible for medical assistance as a pregnant woman.

The State does not provide coverage for pregnant women with higher family income without covering pregnant women with a lower family income.
(4) Application of requirements for coverage of targeted low-income children
The State provides pregnancy-related assistance for targeted low-income pregnant women in the same manner, and subject to the same requirements, as the State provides child health assistance for targeted low-income children under the State child health plan, and in addition to providing child health assistance for such women.
(5) No preexisting condition exclusion or waiting period
(6) Application of cost-sharing protection
The State provides pregnancy-related assistance to a targeted low-income woman consistent with the cost-sharing protections under section 1397cc (e) of this title and applies the limitation on total annual aggregate cost sharing imposed under paragraph (3)(B) of such section to the family of such a woman.
(7) No waiting list for children
The State does not impose, with respect to the enrollment under the State child health plan of targeted low-income children during the quarter, any enrollment cap or other numerical limitation on enrollment, any waiting list, any procedures designed to delay the consideration of applications for enrollment, or similar limitation with respect to enrollment.
(c) Option to provide presumptive eligibility
A State that elects the option under subsection (a) and satisfies the conditions described in subsection (b) may elect to apply section 1396r–1 of this title (relating to presumptive eligibility for pregnant women) to the State child health plan in the same manner as such section applies to the State plan under subchapter XIX.
(d) Definitions
For purposes of this section:
(1) Pregnancy-related assistance
(2) Targeted low-income pregnant woman
The term "targeted low-income pregnant woman" means an individual—
(A) during pregnancy and through the end of the month in which the 60-day period (beginning on the last day of her pregnancy) ends;
(B) whose family income exceeds 185 percent (or, if higher, the percent applied under subsection (b)(1)(A)) of the poverty line applicable to a family of the size involved, but does not exceed the income eligibility level established under the State child health plan under this subchapter for a targeted low-income child; and
(e) Automatic enrollment for children born to women receiving pregnancy-related assistance

(f) States providing assistance through other options
(1) Continuation of other options for providing assistance
The option to provide assistance in accordance with the preceding subsections of this section shall not limit any other option for a State to provide—

(3) No inference
Nothing in this subsection shall be construed—
(A) to infer congressional intent regarding the legality or illegality of the content of the sections specified in paragraph (1)(A); or

In the 1930 film Morocco, Marlene Dietrich raised eyebrows by gender bending in a sharp black tuxedo. Her ensemble's pièce de résistance was her white bow tie, and since then she has been an emblem for women taking on the borrowed-from-the-boys neck accoutrement. You might recall Madonna's Dolce & Gabbana tux getup from earlier this summer, top hat et all, as proof of just this.
While androgynous fashion has come a long way since Dietrich's heyday, bow ties aren't exactly a wardrobe mainstay for women. Although, every now and then we'll catch the menswear staple on some of the most daring female stars, often coming courtesy of Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel or even those sexed-up Dolce & Gabbana boys. On some of our favorite ladies' looks, we've seen bow ties as the cherry on top of a menswear-inspired suit, an accessory to a ladylike white dress shirt, and even sewn into a figure-hugging midi dress.
In honor of National Bow Tie Day, we've assembled some of our most favorite femme bow tie moments that have us studying bow-tying video tutorials and delving into our grandfather's archives for fashion week.

Airline-Plot Mastermind Will Face Trial After All
posted at 5:00 pm on December 28, 2006 by see-dubya
Remember Rashid Rauf, the (alleged) mastermind of the Heathrow airline bombing plot from this summer? He pretty well drew his interrogators a map of the whole operation.
Remember how he was going to walk?
Well, if I read this and this correctly , a higher court has ruled that he's going to face trial after all, under a special anti-terrorism court. This probably wouldn't be possible under U.S. law, since my first thought was that jeopardy had attached. Apparently that won't be a problem in Pakistan.
Whether or not he'll also be extradited to Britain is still up in the air.

In this video you get to see inside the world of Nathan East. He talks a little about practicing, playing atitude, learning about different styles of music, and equiptment. There are interviews with people Nathan has worked with like Eric Clapton, Phil Collins, Billy Preston, Larry Carlton, and the other members of Fourplay. There is a Q and A about "What makes a great bass player". In my opinion, this video is a great way to learn about the world of playing bass. There is probably more focus on the fretboard in Nathan's other video than this one. This is still a good buy if you want to get a feel for what it takes.

Wow, NATHAN EAST! This is what I have been dreaming of, the inside story from the guy on the inside -- NATHAN EAST plus Clapton, Collins and Quincy. this is like a PHD on the music business all in one package. I love it! The best part was the interviews with the famous musicians talking about the role the bass plays in their music and what they look for in a Bass Player--almost like a rehersal for a job interview! The Bass solo of America at the end was inspiring :)

Finally, a DVD that I can really use the information in my daily career. This DVD is packed with valuable interviews with top professionals like Phil Collins, Quincy Jones and Eric Clapton....Babyface! Hats off to Nathan East for sharing his insights into the music business. This is a must own for anyone aspiring to learn the ropes and inside workings of what it takes to be an "A" Musician!
Comments about Hal Leonard Nathan East The Business Of Bass (DVD):
If you were looking for an instructional DVD this does not even come close. Too much talk and absolutely no instructional value. This DVD should be in the documentary category

Health Benefits of Iron
The health benefits of iron mainly include carrying life-giving oxygen to human blood cells. About two-thirds of the bodily iron is found in hemoglobin. Other health benefits of iron are iron deficiency anemia, anemia of chronic disease, cough, anemia in pregnancy, predialysis anemia and many more.
The health benefits of iron correspond to proper growth of human body and maintaining robust health. It is an essential protein component for metabolism. Body needs iron to produce red blood cells. The human body is capable of preserving 15 % of iron for future use, especially in the case of inadequate diet intake.
Health Benefits of Magnesium
Magnesium is extremely necessary for your health as it is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. Magnesium is fourth most available mineral in the body and is essential for a good and sound health. Roughly 50% of total body magnesium is stored in our bones. The remaining part of magnesium is predominantly found in the cells of body tissues and organs. Only 1% of magnesium is available in blood, however human body always strives strongly to keep constant blood levels of magnesium.
Magnesium is needed to keep muscle and nerve functioning normal and heart beat rhythmic. It also helps to support a healthy immune system, and keeps bones strong. Magnesium also helps to regulate blood sugar levels, thereby promoting normal blood pressure and supports energy metabolism and protein synthesis. Magnesium has a positive effect on treatment of disorders such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and diabetes. Dietary magnesium gets absorbed in the small intestines and is excreted through the kidneys.
Health Benefits of Selenium
Selenium is an essential trace mineral that has a wide array of health benefits, including its ability to protect against certain heart diseases, boost the strength of the immune system, maximize thyroid function, reduce inflammation, prevent cancer, reduce the signs of premature aging, protect against antibodies, boost hair health, and balance your hormones. Selenium is […]
Health Benefits of Zinc
The health benefits of Zinc include proper functioning of immune system, digestion, control of diabetes, improves stress level, energy metabolism, acne and wounds healing. Also, pregnancy, hair care, eczema, weight loss, night blindness, cold, eye care, appetite loss and many other factors are included as health benefits of zinc.
Zinc, being an important mineral plays a vital role for the protein synthesis and helps in regulation of the cells production in the immune system of the human body. Zinc is mostly found in the strong muscles of the body and especially in high concentrations in the white and red blood cells, eye retina, skin, liver, kidneys, bones and pancreas. The semen and prostate gland in men constitutes large zinc amount.
Health Benefits of Sodium
Sodium is an important electrolyte and an essential ion present in the extra cellular fluid (ECF). The health benefits of sodium play a pivotal role in enzyme operation and muscle contraction. It is important for osmoregulation and fluid maintenance of the human body. Other health benefits of sodium include heart performance, nervous system and glucose absorption.
Sodium is the predominant ion and electrolyte, needed for the blood regulation in the human body. Serious impairment is caused due to the abrupt dysfunctioning of sodium. It is a versatile element and occurs in more than eighty forms. As an electrolyte, it regulates the body fluid and transmits electrical impulse in the body. Unlike minerals and vitamins, heat has no effect on sodium. Thus, it can be used for heat resistive processes. Also, it is an important constituent of nerves and helps in muscle contraction.
Health Benefits of Silicon
Silicon is also known as a beauty mineral and thus, there are many health benefits of silicon. It not only causes the strengthening of connective tissues and bones, but is also useful in taking care of nails, hair and skin. The health benefits of silicon also play a vital role in the prevention of atherosclerosis, insomnia, skin disorders and tuberculosis.
Silicon is the second most available element found in the earth's crust. It is one of the most important elements used in high tech devices and semiconductors. Silicon is a vital trace mineral required by the body for strong and flexible joints, glowing skin and stronger bones. It is basically present in the human body in the form of ether derivative of silanate or silicic acid. It is also necessary to be present in the diet as it increases the over all benefits of vitamin D, glucosomine and calcium.
Health Benefits of Potassium
The health benefits of potassium include relief from stroke, blood pressure, heart and kidney disorders, anxiety and stress, enhanced muscular strength, metabolism, water balance, electrolytic functions, and nervous system.
Potassium, the third most abundant mineral in human body, is the synonym for health insurer. It contains the qualities for maintaining a high level of human well-being and a cheerful lifestyle. There is no way one should overlook the inclusion of potassium in routine diet plan.
Health Benefits of Phosphorus
The health benefits of phosphorous include healthy bone formation, improved digestion, excretion, protein formation, hormone balance, improved energy extraction, cell repair, chemical reactions, and nutrient utilization. The health benefits of phosphorous make it an important constituent of one's diet.
Phosphorus is an important constituent of human bones and thus, one can't imagine making a move without the adequate amount of this mineral in the body. In fact, phosphorus is considered as the second most profuse mineral in human body.
Health Benefits of Manganese
Health benefits of manganese ensure healthy bone structure, bone metabolism, helping in building essential enzymes for building bones. It acts as a coenzyme to assist metabolic progression in the human body. Apart from these, there are other health benefits of manganese actively involved in forming connective tissues, absorption of calcium, proper functioning of thyroid, sex hormones, regulating blood sugar level, and metabolism of fats and carbohydrates.
Manganese is a mineral form, found in our human body in very minimal amount. Manganese is an actual component of manganese super oxide dismutase enzyme. It is a powerful antioxidant that searches the free radicals in human body and manages to neutralize these damaging particles and prevent any potential danger they may cause.
Health Benefits of Iodine
Iodine is an essential trace element that is essential for the normal growth and development. Around 60% of the iodine in the body is stored in the thyroid gland. The health benefits of iodine play a very important role in the normal functioning of the thyroid glands, which secretes thyroid hormones that control the basic metabolic rate of the body.
Iodine controls the functioning of thyroid glands in human body, which in turn has a significant influence on the metabolic processes in the body. The health benefits of iodine help in the optimum utilization of calories thereby preventing its storage as excess fats. Other benefits of iodine are removal of toxins from the body and assistance for the system in utilizing calcium and silicon.

« You Can't Make Money If You Don't Get Paid |
| Hope, Springing Eternal And All That »
Posted by Derek
Back in 2003, I wrote about the paper that identified the natural product resveratrol as an activator of the sirtuin deacetylase pathway. This may well be the common thread between a host of studies on life-extending genes in model organisms and the much-publicized phenomenon of life extension through caloric restriction. In other words, if you want to live longer, but don't feel like taking in a third fewer calories, it's possible that activating sirtuin might do the job for you, and resveratrol is the prototype activator.
Three years ago, after first pointing out that many companies might want to run screens for sirtuin activators, I went on to speculate:
Second, there is no reason to think that resveratrol itself is an optimized molecule. It's a great starting point, but as a medicinal chemist I can see several things I'd like to do to it immediately. Hey, fellow chemists, let's talk shop here. . .(list of possible structural modifications follows - DBL). . .Believe me, thousands of folks like me are looking at this structure today and having these exact thoughts, and some of them are going to act on them (if someone hasn't already.)
Third, this compound is surely being given to higher animals as we speak. I can see no reason not to start feeding it to mice in a long-term study. Mice live around two years - let's try for three! After all, it's already been given to rodents in other studies. (And those are just papers from the last year or two!) But as far as I can tell, none of these have allowed the mice to age to their full normal lifespan under resveratrol dosing. Time to find out!
Well, in an unusual development for my predictions, all of this is coming true. This summer, David Sinclair (who leads one of the major efforts in this area - another is led by his former boss, Leonard Guarente) published an interesting review of resveratrol's in vivo effects. Now his group reports in Nature that resveratrol does indeed have effects in mice - very powerful effects indeed. When put on a high-fat diet, normal mice gain weight, develop diabetes and liver problems, and die early. But on the same diet along with resveratrol, the mice (although they do put on weight) show improved glucose and insulin levels, better liver function, and significantly increased lifespan. Their activity and motor abilities appear to mimic normal-diet mice, even into their extended old age. (Here's their press release if you don't have a Nature subscription).
And on top of this, Sinclair's company has let it be known that they have developed improved molecules based on resveratrol, and are now taking them into the clinic. The first one is called SRT501, and I'd be very interested to know its structure. But remember that compound code - you're going to be hearing about it again.
These are still early days. There may be penalties to pay for messing around with longevity (increased cancer rates are only the first thing that come to mind). But there may also be a revolution in progress here, something that will make the future quite different from what we've been imagining it will be. G. K. Chesterton would be happy - scroll down here for a discussion of the game of "Cheat The Prophet". Is anyone ready for Cheat the Reaper?

There was a completely inane quote by Leon Kass about the futility of trying to seek immortality through some of these mechanisms.
Either the NYT quoted him totally out of context (possible, I guess), or he took very modest gains in lifespan coupled with disease-resistance and somehow extrapolated that to outright immortality!
That is one dense man.

Never mind the increased cancer risk. A Woody Allen quote springs to mind : There are worse things in life than death. Have you ever spent an evening with an insurance salesman?

What a great time to be a wine lover - especially Pinots, which iirc have the highest [resveratrol] of all the wine grapes. Those grown in cooler climates even more so. Daily dosing of red wine and fish oil (another PPAR agonist) alone have reduced my biological age ~ 5 years (p=0.50).
Charles Mann wrote an interseting essay speculating on the implications of longer life.
4. MTK on November 2, 2006 11:22 AM writes...
Someone has been orchestrating a good PR campaign here.
Ahead of the Nature paper and the press release there was a page 1 story on SRT1, Sinclair, and resveratrol in Monday's Wall Street Journal.

I wasn't fully awake when CNN kicked on this morning, but I think Sanjay Gupta did a segment on resveratrol this morning, too.
And I thought the line from Woody was about attempting suicide by inhaling near an insurance agent? 8-)

Paper: Resveratrol mimics ischemic preconditioning in the brain.
So does that mean it's doomed in humans? (I'm not being entirely silly.)

ASUS, one of the world's leading vendors of computer hardware and consumer-grade computer systems, has recently announced the debut of its first supercomputer, a desktop-sized system that mixes Intel's latest Xeon processors with a number of NVIDIA graphics processors to deliver speeds of up to 1.1 teraflops. While the company had previously designed motherboards for the server and professional segments, this is the first time an ASUS-designed supercomputer makes its debut on the market.
Dubbed ESC 1000, the new ASUS supercomputer has been designed to meet the performance requirements of customers working in segments such as scientific research, image manipulation, engineering modeling or medical research. The speed of 1.1 teraflops has been achieved by adopting a configuration that mixes NVIDIA's graphics processors with Intel's LGA1366 Xeon W3580 microprocessor, working at a core speed of 3.33GHz and designed for servers and workstations.
According to the technical specifications of the ASUS supercomputer, the ESC 1000 has adopted three Tesla c1060 graphics processing cards, coupled with one Quadro FX5800 GPU. The three Tesla cards are featured with a dual-slot cooling solution and have no graphics ports available on the back, as they are only used for processing data. Additional features of the new supercomputer include 24GB of DDR3 1333MHz memory, a 500GB SATA II hard drive and a high-capacity 1100 watt power supply unit. The chassis in which the system has been built measures in at 445mm by 217.5 mm by 545 mm, according to ASUS' specification sheet.
The company hasn't yet unveiled the pricing and global availability details of the new supercomputer, but according to PC Advisor, the ESC 1000 comes with a cost structure in software and hardware of $14,519 (£8,900) over five years. In addition, it appears that the system is already available for shipping.

Gresham Facility Fills Communication Gap for Deaf Residents
September 21, 2011 -- In most ways, Chestnut Lane looks like any other assisted living facility.
The activities calendar advertises bingo games, craft days and shopping expeditions. In between activities and medication rounds, the staff talk to residents and the executive director, Sherry Andrus, as she walks around the facility. There's one difference, though: Andrus and her colleagues are communicating in American Sign Language (ASL), and so are most of its residents.
Chestnut Lane, located in Gresham, started as an adult foster care home for deaf and deaf-blind seniors. Then, with a change in management, it began marketing itself toward seniors who could hear – but now only accepts deaf or hearing impaired residents. Everyone on staff is fluent in ASL, and 60 percent are deaf.
In the eight years Chestnut Lane has existed, it's been under management by several companies, and the current owner, Emeritus, is supportive of the original vision – serving the needs of the deaf community, Andrus said. Only one other assisted-living facility for deaf seniors exists – the New England Homes for the Deaf in Massachusetts.
Deaf seniors are at a disadvantage when placed in a facility for hearing people and, on average, live less than a year, Andrus said.
A former resident needing round the clock care was moved to a nursing home after her health worsened, but couldn't participate in activities because she couldn't understand what was being said, and didn't make friends because no one knew ASL.
"I visited her and she said, 'What do I have to live for?' She was only 58, but mentally, she was done. She gave up," Andrus said.
Many residents at Chestnut Lane have dementia, which makes the need for appropriate communication even more crucial. Several deaf-blind residents also live there, some of whom may be losing their eyesight due to macular degeneration or cataracts.
"Deaf people have cherished their eyes since they were born," Andrus said, and deaf residents can become very depressed as they begin to lose their eyesight and require one-on-one assistance.
Residents come from across the country, often leaving behind their families to live a place where they can communicate and be understood.
"We try to exceed our expectations of community because our residents give up to much to live here," Andrus said.
Because the deaf community is so tightly knit, frequently visitors realize they're acquainted with a resident – and newcomers often find they know a few people at Chestnut Lane.
"It's a small deaf world," Andrus said, and Chestnut Lane is like a big family. Placing deaf seniors into homes geared toward hearing people doesn't work, Andrus said. "It's like a death sentence."

Child molester gets prison time, life on probation
by Wes Mayer
The man accused of molesting a child in two Georgia counties, including Coweta, was found guilty on all counts during his trial last week.
After his trial came to an end Friday, David James Morris, 42, was found guilty of aggravated child molestation, child molestation and aggravated sexual battery. With the guilty verdict, Coweta Judicial Circuit Superior Court Judge Emory Palmer sentenced Morris to serve 25 years in prison followed by life on probation for the count of aggravated child molestation.
Morris was also sentenced to 20 years in prison followed by life on probation for the count of child molestation and 25 years in prison followed by life on probation for the count of aggravated sexual battery, but these are both to run concurrently to the first.
Morris was prosecuted by Coweta County Assistant District Attorney Robert Mooradian, and he was defended by Atlanta Attorney Dan Conaway. His trial began on April 29, ended Friday, and the jury returned with the guilty verdict around 8 p.m.
Mooradian said it was a very difficult trial because the victim, who had been greatly traumatized by Morris, had to come before the jury and talk about the things Morris did to her. The victim was very brave, though, Mooradian said, adding he was proud of her for testifying.
The molestations occurred around two years ago in Pike County, Georgia, but after further investigation, it was determined that Morris also molested the victim in Coweta, Mooradian said.
The lead investigator in Coweta County was Lt. Jason Ercole with the Senoia Police Department.

The Tigers voted Sydney Dudley (right) a team captain ? the first non-senior to hold that distinction during coach Todd Kelly?s 16 years with Loveland.
- Filed Under
Loveland junior midfielder Sydney Dudley has several soccer role models, including Ohio State junior Danica Wu. Like Dudley, Wu is a small, energetic midfielder whose spirited play makes her a vexing force on the pitch.
And when Wu's time with the Buckeyes is done, Dudley might be the one who replaces her.
Dudley verbally committed to Ohio State as a sophomore and has two years left with the Tigers before moving on to Big Ten soccer. Her mother Karen's family lives in Columbus, guaranteeing a larger cheering section for the Buckeyes in two years. ...

text: States Could Lose Highway Funds Details Published: Wednesday, 04 January 2012 16:40 Written by Mark Kuhar January 4, 2012 – According to NSSGA, a Jan. 30 deadline looms for states to implement a federal regulation whereby DMVs require interstate truck drivers to provide proof from a medical professional that they are healthy enough to drive. States failing to comply face a 5 percent cut in their federal highway funds with that penalty doubling if they do not come into conformance the following year. One-third of states have indicated they may not meet this mandate, according to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. States in violation as of Feb. 1 must submit a plan demonstrating "an earnest intent to gain full compliance" on an acceptable timeline or else federal funds could be withheld beginning Oct. 1, 2014.
