1.Give us a little background on MERLIN
My husband Alex and I started MERLIN in early 1992, and a few months later we released our first demo in death-thrash style. In fall we released the second death grind one. But the most well-known became our third demo tape called PRISONER OF DEATH which appeared pretty successful. Some of those songs such as DIE and BLACK REVENGE you can hear on DEATHKOTEQUE- our first full-length album (1997). What had we been doing for 4 years? We played shows around Moscow and the area. Besides the guys (Alex and Nick) played for one hard-rock band. And we worked on a new program, we wanted to release a real good album and we did it finally! DEATHKOTEQUE appeared very fast and extreme, a kinda bomb! After that we were called Death Metal Kings of Russia. That time we played three: Alex Ioffe (guitar), Nick (Energizer) Byckoff (drums) and me- Mary Abaza (vocal, bass). In 1998 we got a second guitarist Arteom (Bolt) Nazarov and the band's sound became still more brutal. After DEATHKOTEQUE we were suggested to release our next album via GWN Records, Canada. So THEY MUST DIE album was released there in early 2001. Later our DEATHKOTEQUE was re-issued too by their division GRIND IT! Records.
2.Are you fascinated with the Arthurian tales? Or is there a deeper significance behind choosing the name MERLIN for the band?
First of all we wanted the name to be simple and easily remembered starting the band and MERLIN suited the request. Then we chose MERLIN as a symbol of magic power and majesty. Besides MERLIN is a predatory bird that tears meat by its claws, it's beak in blood, ya know, and this absolutely reflects our band's personality.
3.What inspired the beginning of MERLIN? And who are it's members?
As I explained Alex and I founded the band in early 1992. Before MERLIN we both worked for a pair of thrash metal bands but it was pretty boring, we wanted to play something more hard and interesting. Well, we changed a few drummers before Nick and searched for a bassist pretty long. Finally I decided to try the bass myself since had had some experience of guitar playing. And finally in 1998 we met Arteom (ex-Anal Puss). So before July 13 we've played four until we lost Nick in a car accident… Such a terrible tragedy!!!
4. Is there much of death metal scene in Russia?
I can't say death metal is very popular in Russia. What's on TV and radio is pop music and other shit of all kinds. All metal scene is underground around here. But there are very good bands playing extreme music almost in every town, tons of good bands ya know, and all of them have their audience. There are plenty of places for rehearsals, recording studios, etc., the equipment is good. As for shows most of clubs fear of metallers… there are only few clubs in Moscow where extreme music is welcome and in other towns we often have to play in cinemas, circuses and even schools for the same reason. But it's not a problem. What I hate is that it's impossible to live from music here. All Russian musicians have to work somewhere. Many leave music because don't see any prospect. Otherwise there are very little of posers in Russian metal scene, they have to look for some more profitable business…
5.You've been around since 1992 and I'm surprised you haven't gotten more coverage. Do you think the internet has changed that for you?
Sure! We got tons of friends via net, gave thousands of interviews… A lot of people can hear our MP3's, see the pics, there are lots of them on our site: http://geocities.com/zloy.geo/ Finally we met Remi Cote of GWN Records, Canada via internet.
6.You recently lost your drummer in accident. Would you like to write a few short words of tribute here for him?
What can I say? We suffered an irreplaceable deprivation… We played with Nick from the very beginning and he became like a brother for us. He was a brilliant drummer, his enormous technique amazed not only the audience but the musicians too, he was out of any competition… It was Nick who imposed on the band that extremely powerful sound which distinguished it all these years, owning to his incredible mastership we achieved those impossible speeds which drove crazy our fans… RIP MASTER!!! You reserved an indelible vestige in music, Your memory will stay in our hearts forever!
And are you currently looking into a drummer or taking a break?
Of course we'll find a new drummer, we can't live without scene… But at first we must finish BRUTAL CONSTRUCTOR album, Nick did record all drums and we'll do our best, it's our duty before him… Sure, our fans will enjoy it!
7.What bands would you say influence your brutal death metal style? And what were the first band you got into?
I grew up listening to BLACK SABBATH and they still are my favorite band, I think they are the parents of death metal at all. And I'm crazy about Chuck Schuldiner both as a composer and vocalist, we even added to the new album "Zombie Ritual" by DEATH as a tribute to him.
8.You have two releases so far. Please tell us a little about each.
I think "Deathkoteque" was a piece of real good work. The 10 songs on it were the most interesting songs that we had created for the five years that has passed before the recording took place. That is also the reason that the album is not as conceptual as the second one. "The Must Die" is a more genuine Merlin album, while the first one is more our musical search to find our own musical style. The second release is also more technical and melodic. Plus, I experimented a lot more with the vocals on "They Must Die". You know, a little of black metal that wasn't there before. The same goes for the music also; we included some black metal elements and the sound became more intense.
And what inspires your lyrics?
All I need for writing lyrics is watching TV or reading a paper, especially criminal news. Look what's going on around! Kids shoot down their classmates. Terrorism blossoms out day by day. Maniacs flood all world. And religious extremism? What I hate are religious fanatics of all kinds which have flooded our country after the communist had failed. It's a real problem and not only Russian! Thousands die in hospitals because their religion prohibits blood transfusion. Millions sell all they got and leave their families for some idiotic communes. I wrote the song "Entering The Gates Of Paradise" after a real tragedy when three girls jumped down from 8 floors. They dissented to some totalitarian sect and it was a ritual suicide.
I think the lyrics are an important part of a song but the music is the main part. You can write really cool lyrics and a boring music and nobody will listen to you. So I always write lyrics when the song is ready. I want the text to correspond to the music, sometimes it takes a few months to find the suitable theme.
9.You're working on your latest release. Do you have a title for it yet?
10.You played a show with SINISTER. Now that's a show we'd like to see here in US. Brutal women on stage together doing an ultimate show. Did you have fun doing that show and when you met Rachel from Sinister what impression did she leave you with?
The show was great! There are a lot of fans of old SINISTER and they wondered if Rachel was as good as there previous vocalist. And they were not disappointed… Rachel got a low growl sounding like males, at the same time she looked like woman… and a lovely woman! Maybe she should have been a bit more aggressive to my mind, but anyway she got balls! We talked almost for an hour, took some pics together (you can see 'em on our site). Don't know why, but she didn't want to sing jam with me, seemed it would have been cool. Anyway I found her very nice girl…
11. Some guys think that girls use some form of device to alter their vocals. What would you like to say to these guys?
I think some guys do this too. It's the usual thing in death metal when a free singer squeezes the mic in his hands, a kinda megaphone which makes the voice lower and louder. As for me I can't do that because the hands are busy. At all I don't need any techniques since suppose my growl to be self-sufficient.
12. What other women in the metal scene would you consider admirable?
I like female voices sounding as powerful as males and the timbre must correspond to the style of the band. For example I think Sandra Nasic from GUANO APES has got an ideal timbre for their style. Sabina Classen is good for thrash…
13. Did you take bass lesson or is it self-taught? What made you decided that the bass was the instrument for you? Do you play any other instruments?
I love that low bass guitar sound from the childhood but never considered playing it myself. It was a necessity that I had to try it and I didn't take lessons. What I was trained was vocal, I studied in jazz-school. But playing the bass was self-taught. As I told I played a little rhythm-guitar especially for creating music, also I used to play piano being a kid.
14. Women in the metal scene are a lot more visible in the scene now. Do you see any difference in the music scene as compared to when you began?
Yes, in 1992 I was a unique front lady on death metal scene… the most brutal vocalist was Sabbina of HOLY MOSES that time. But I would like to see still more female-singers, especially good singers, most of them unfortunately look pretty miserable, ya know…
15. Why do you feel that some female musicians disappear from the metal scene after a while?
Not only female, most of underground musicians quit music growing over 25-30. As for women the reason is very simple: they get married, have children and don't have any time…
16. Does MERLIN have any merchandise for the readers?
You can buy some via GWN Records: www.gwnrecords.com.
17. Any last words?
At first thanks a lot for this interview. And to your readers: I'd like them to discover Russian extreme music. Listen to MERLIN guys and keep it fucking brutal!!!

Another Story Times Two; Dead Rising and Yours Truely - Day One
By BraindeadRacr 4 Comments
Right, so in honor of trying to discover what actually is better about Dead Rising 2 as a step-up from Dead Rising, I'm playing through the first one from start to finish. So, you can tell from where this blog is headed - There weill be spoilers, genius. So let's not screw around any further:
DAY ONE - Colorado, the most logical place to start a zombie outbreak it seems.Like a terrorist setting off a carbomb in some abandoned wheatfield.
First thing I noticed playing this game again, the camera. Oh joy. I can take pictures of the walking dead and exploit a points system that way! I'll admit, unique it certainly is. But takes up the aiming slot on the controller, so everytime I'm grabbing a heavy object and pull LT it drops the damn item for a camera view of my face being munched off.
So yeah, I'm at Middleoffuckingnowhere, Colorado. I mean, Willamette - Evil Mexican guy gives me the stare, looked at some TV screens and gasped at a few zombies nomnomnoming a lady and headed down to one of gaming's most senile openings ever. A freakin' poodle. A motherfucking poodle kicked off the events that cost the lives of potentially 120 people.
No, it gets worse. Oh yes. A old lady, a wicked old lady pushed aside two men twice her size, opened the front doors and no-one could manage to stop her. Sure she got torn the fuck apart two seconds later, but... What?
Frank then paraded on to kill 560 zombies in the starting area before rushing up the stairs, trying to troll Brad for sounding so insanely manly shouting "QUICK, GET TO THE PERSONELL ROOM!" as if the Governator within took over.
Jessie shows her massive rack, so big attach 'em to the Crysler Building and it would topple. Otis the Mute gives me his communicator of doom and a map that is painfully underwhelming. Ah yes Otis, your map didn't notify me there's a big ass gigantic metal shutter inbetween me and half the mall! Fuckin' story progress.
Right, at this point I was interested in the story. Still. Don't ask me why, but I was. So, Frank stumbles down, fetching the worlds' dumbest elderly couple - One's on the left side of the roof. A huge wide open area with only knee-high obstructions we call airvents. The other's by the elavator a whopping 20ft away. While they shout "MISTER!" and "HAAAYYY ANYONE THAR?" they're oblivious to eachother. Brought Mrs. Senile and Mr. Golfballbrain back and happily paraded on down to the mall itself.
Frank mentioned to the Boob lady that he covered wars y'know, still wearing the fire extinguisher he was gonna ram into her skull not four seconds earlier. No worries, all is forgiven. Anyways.
I then went off on the mundane task of... Helping Brad. A DHS agent who went to chase a suspect, who happened to be slick-as-shit Carl the Wormguy(Carlito the Bioterrorist for you exotics). Shot him the fuck up in a food court as he, riddled with bullets went Harry fuckin' Houdini on us and rode a rope to the roof of the mall.
Around this time Otis the Mute's been calling my communicator of hell and beyond for five minutes now, so I budge and answer. "Hey! Don't cut me off like that, it's rude."
Sure Otis, please I beg you for forgiveness! He calls in to notify me I'm currently in the food court. It's that you're bald, you old wiseass. Otherwise I'd say some serious shit about you! Like... Yeah!
Anyway. The controls still bugged me, confusing aim with the camera every five seconds. I let Brad run off to the next door where he helped himself for five minutes as I plowed through hordes of zombies with a umbrella for laughs. Grinning like a school girl. Umbrella broke, my smile died, my interest got shot sooo... Oh yeah, Brad! Ran to him, he killed roughly about 150 zombies in the time I was doing laps around the Al Fresca plaza... So, through the door we go. Opening one of those annoying shutters atleast.
Oh lookie, it's Doctah Barnabayh. The muttering old fuck who 'was lured' into the Willamette mall, in Colorado. 60 miles from Denver. In the middle of nowhere. By a Mexic--By us young whispersnappers. Ripping his old clueless ass out of the bookstore was a no go cause Brad was worried about his etiquette.
Call me crazy, but in a situation where there's thousands of raging zombies... Thousands. And you're meddling with the only man who had a clue of what was going on. Don't you think a subtle smack with a baseball bat to the skull of Doctah Barnabayh is well, okay? Worst thing that could happen is that he pisses himself in his artificial sleep and that he thinks he's George Jefferson when he wakes up. No big deal, right Brad? ...Brad? Oh, thanks. Yeah... we'll leave our only clue behind in a bookstore. Let his ass get bored and walk to us instead... clever.
Oh couldn't you atleast open the shutter to the Paradise fuckin' Plaza! Goddammit...

Male pregnancy also results in a reversal in sex-related behaviors, Jones said. Females exhibit a competitive behavior thats normally a male-type attribute, and males end up being choosy, which is normally a more female-type attribute, he said. His lab studies the evolutionary steps leading to that reversal in behavior and the role that hormones play in the change.
Jones lab also studies how the brood pouch first evolved in seahorses and pipefish. A big question in evolutionary biology is how a novel structure gets all of the necessary genes and parts to function, Jones said. So we are trying to understand how the brood pouch and the genes required for male pregnancy arose over evolutionary time.
One of the interesting things about the brood pouch is that it appears to have evolved independently multiple times. There are two major lineages of seahorses and pipefish trunk-brooding and tail-brooding and the brood pouch structure independently evolved in each of these groups, Jones said.
Another area Jones lab is researching is the evolutionary steps that led to the unique overall shape of seahorses. How do you go from just being a regular-old looking fish to being something really unusual like a seahorse? Jones said. There are a lot of evolutionary steps involved in that.
Jones explained that the first step in the evolutionary process was the elongation of the fishs body, which the lab is currently studying. The next step was the addition of other unique structural features that seahorses possess, such as the bending of the fish into its unique shape. The head of a seahorse is unusual because unlike most fish, a seahorses head is at a 90-degree angle to its body, Jones explained. Seahorses also have a prehensile tail, meaning that, unlike most fish, they can use their tail to grasp onto things.
These are all interesting changes, and were interested in studying how these novel traits arose and the evolutionary st

Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugarby Cheryl Strayed
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Life can be hard: your lover cheats on you; you lose a family member; you can't pay the bills — and it can be great: you've had the hottest sex of your life; you get that plum job; you muster the courage to write your novel. Sugar — the once-anonymous online columnist at The Rumpus, now revealed as Cheryl Strayed, author of the bestselling memoir Wild — is the person thousands turn to for advice.
Tiny Beautiful Things brings the best of Dear Sugar in one place and includes never-before-published columns and a new introduction by Steve Almond. Rich with humor, insight, compassion — and absolute honesty — this book is a balm for everything life throws our way.
"Strayed (Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Coast Trail), in this collection of advice (some previously unpublished) for readers of her column 'Dear Sugar' on therumpus.net, chooses thought-provoking questions from her readers and listens deeply to their emotional content. In casually intimate prose (to a struggling writer: 'dear sweet arrogant beautiful crazy tortured talented rising star glowbug') and literary grace, she creates moments of wise, compassionate insight in often startlingly personal miniature memoirs, cradling gentle but practical guidance with enough humor to cement Strayed's presence as both a mentor and the most understanding of friends. Sugar can be tough and honest (to the same struggling writer: 'buried beneath all the anxiety and sorrow and fear and self-loathing , there's arrogance at its core'), but she's never mean: in Sugar's world, we all deserve love unconditionally, but also owe it to ourselves to act in the world to be the best, most authentic selves that we can be. For a regrounding in the beauty of what it means to be flawed and gorgeously human, for answers that feel real whether we've been able to ask the right question, Strayed's caring little essays offer surprisingly rich comfort. Agent: Zachary Shuster Harnsworth Agency. (July)" Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
"These pieces are nothing short of dynamite, the kind of remarkable, revelatory storytelling that makes young people want to become writers in the first place. Over here at the Salon offices, we're reading the columns with boxes of tissue and raised fists of solidarity, shaking our heads with awe and amusement." Sarah Hepola, Salon
"Sugar doesn't coddle her readers — she believes them, and hears the stories inside the story they think they want to tell. She manages astonishing levels of empathy without dissolving into sentiment, and sees problems before the reader can. Sugar doesn't promise to make anyone feel good, only that she understands a question well enough to answer it." Sasha Frere-Jones, The New Yorker critic
"Powerful and soulful, Tiny Beautiful Things is destined to become a classic of the form, the sort of book readers will carry around in purses and backpacks during difficult times as a token or talisman because of the radiant wisdom and depth within." Aimee Bender, author of The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake
"Sugar's columns are easily the most beautiful thing I've read all year. They should be taught in schools and put on little slips of paper and dropped from airplanes, for all to read." Meakin Armstrong, Guernica editor
"Dear Sugar will save your soul. I belong to the Church of Sugar." Samantha Dunn, author of Failing Paris
"[Sugar is] turning the advice column on its head." Jessica Francis Kane, author of The Report
"Charming, idiosyncratic, luminous, profane....[Sugar] is remaking a genre that has existed, in more or less the same form, since well before Nathanael West's Miss Lonelyhearts first put a face on the figure in 1933....Her version of tough love ranges from hip-older-sister-loving to governess-stern. Sugar shines out amid the sea of fakeness." The New Republic
"This beloved Internet advice columnist, using the pseudonym Sugar, revealed herself in early 2012 to be the acclaimed novelist and memoirist Strayed. First appearing on the Rumpus in 2010, her column 'Dear Sugar' quickly attracted a large and devoted following with its cut-to-the-quick aphorisms like 'Write like a motherf*cker' and 'Be brave enough to break your own heart.' This collection gathers up the best of Sugar, whose trademark is deeply felt and frank responses grounded in her own personal experience; in many ways, it is a portrait of Strayed herself. She answers queries on subjects ranging from professional jealousy to leaving a loved partner to coping with the death of a child. VERDICT: Part advice, part personal essay, these pieces grapple with life's biggest questions. Beautifully written and genuinely wise, this book is full of heartache and love. Highly recommended." Molly McArdle, Library Journal (starred review)
"Strayed offers insight into the world of online advice through her collection of letters sent to 'Dear Sugar,' her once-anonymous column for the online magazine The Rumpus. Sugar's Golden Rule — 'Trust Yourself' — pushes the author and her readers to embrace themselves and not be afraid of asking life's complex questions....Strayed's practical advice mixes with abundant personal anecdotes in which she illustrates to the addressee the reasoning behind her counsel. Admittedly not versed in psychology, her responses are sensitive and comprehensive, and her self-reflection projects understanding and sympathy....The author's comforting yet stern writing style connects readers to each contributor's plight and the subsequent response to their cry for help. Appealing to Dear Sugar fans and self-help seekers alike, this 'collection of intimate exchanges between strangers' demonstrates that wisdom doesn't come only from age, but also from learning from the experiences of others. A realistic and poignant compilation of the intricacies of relationships." Kirkus Reviews

4 thoughts on "Podding Broad Beans"
Reading this brought back memories of picking and podding broad beans for my Gran when I was young. I enjoyed popping the pods to find the beans in their furry nest, but I didn't like eating them so the task wasn't a completely happy one for me . I really ought to try them again – your salad sounds delicious!↓
When I was a kid I didn't like eating them either (so I generally didn't eat them) but, like you, enjoyed helping prepare them all the same. The salad was kind of based on what we happened to have in, with a couple of additions but it was surprisingly good. I think I'll be making it again :).↓
I left a comment here earlier and it has disappeared! I must have done something wrong :/
I have never eaten broad beans, but they look nice, so I think I will give them a try (my husband is pulling faces and telling me they are horrible, I think he was traumatised by them in his childhood).↓
That's odd – thanks for 're-commenting' :). What I've found is that if you blanch the beans in water this loosens the pale green outer casing on each bean and removing that makes them look nicer and taste sweeter. I think that outer shell is a bit bitter really. I think lots of people were traumatised by various types of food when they were kids. If you try them again and cook them differently you can often be surprised. Broad beans are in season at the moment too so they're at their best – easy to grow too (I did once), although prone to black fly :/.↓

Posttransplantation lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLD) are a heterogeneous group of monoclonal or polyclonal lymphoproliferative lesions that occur in immunosuppressed recipients following solid organ or bone marrow transplantation, including 4 categories: (1) early lesions (reactive plasmacytic hyperplasia, and infectious-mononucleosis-like PTLD), (2) polymorphic PTLD, (3) monomorphic PTLD (including B-cell neoplasms and T-cell neoplasms), and (4) Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and HL-like PTLD in the current World Health Organization classification. Although HL-like PTLD has been grouped with classic HL PTLD, controversy remains as to whether it is truly a form of HL or whether it should be more appropriately considered as a form of B-cell PTLD. The current available literature data indicate the presence of important immunophenotypic, molecular genetic, and clinical differences between HL PTLD and HL-like PTLD, suggesting that HL-like PTLD is in fact most often a form of B-cell PTLD. Distinction from true HL may be important for clinical management and prognosis.

American Journal of Surgical Pathology
30.4 (2006): 470-470. ( 4/2006 )
Although Hodgkin lymphoma-like posttransplantation lymphoproliferative disorder (HL-like PTLD) has been grouped with classic Hodgkin lymphoma type PTLD (HL-PTLD), controversy remains as to whether it is truly a form of HL or whether it should be more appropriately classified as a form of B-cell PTLD. Because only few cases of HL-like PTLD have been reported, their pathologic nature and clinical behavior have not been well defined. This report characterized 5 cases of HL-like PTLD with respect to their immunophenotype, EBV status, clonality, and clinical outcome. All of the patients were male, with ages ranging from 1.5 to 55 years at diagnosis. PTLD developed from 4 months to 6 years following solid organ transplantation (3 hearts, 1 kidney, 1 liver), and involved both nodal and extranodal sites. All were EBV-related (EBER+) with the large neoplastic cells CD20/CD79a positive but CD15 negative. Immunoglobulin gene rearrangements were detected in 3 of 5 tested. All patients were managed by initial reduction/withdrawal of immunosuppression, with 2 also receiving chemotherapy for non-HL. Three patients died of progressive disease within 2 to 3 months after diagnosis, 1 is alive and well 2 years later, and the fifth was disease free but died of unrelated causes (graft coronary disease) 2 years later. We conclude that, although HL-like PTLD morphologically simulates classic HL PTLD, there are important immunophenotypic, molecular genetic, and clinical differences, suggesting it is in fact most often a B-cell PTLD. Distinction between HL and HL-like PTLD may be important for clinical management and prognosis.

Journal of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology
28.3 (2006): 115-119. ( 3/2006 )
5q- syndrome is a rare myelodysplastic process occurring predominately in middle aged to elderly women. In children, myelodysplasia of all types is rare and 5q- syndrome is exceptionally rare. Only 6 cases of 5q- associated myelodysplasia have been reported in children and all 6 cases had blast counts >5% and/or additional cytogenetic abnormalities. We report a case of 5q- syndrome in a girl who presented with macrocytosis and intermittent pancytopenia at age 5. Cytogenetic studies at age 8 revealed a large interstitial deletion of chromosome 5q without other cytogenetic abnormalities. The patient was clinically stable until age 11, when she became transfusion dependent and severely neutropenic. Subsequently, she underwent a successful unrelated cord blood transplant. To our knowledge, this is the first reported pediatric case meeting the strict criteria for 5q- syndrome.

. "Primary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma presented solely as an endometrial polyp."
International Journal of Gynecological Pathology
24.4 (2005): 347-351. ( 10/2005 )
We report a primary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of endometrial polyp in a 44-year-old woman who presented with irregular vaginal spotting and was found to have a polyp protruding from the cervical os. Histology of the polyp showed an atypical diffuse infiltration by large, mononuclear cells within the stroma and between endometrial glands in one of the polypoid fragments. Immunohistochemistry and testing for immunoglobulin heavy chain gene rearrangement showed a B-cell lineage, consistent with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Staging procedures including detailed gynecology examination, body computed tomography scan, and bone marrow examination, as well as total hysterectomy, showed no evidence of lymphoma outside of the polyp. To our knowledge, this represents the first well-documented instance of primary lymphoma of the uterus presenting as an endometrial polyp. The differential diagnosis of endometrial biopsies containing an atypical lymphoid infiltrate should include the rather rare possibility of primary uterine lymphoma arising in an endometrial polyp. Immunohistochemistry and/or molecular analysis for antigen receptor gene rearrangements are critical in arriving at the correct diagnosis.

Applied Immunohistochemistry & Molecular Morphology
13.2 (2005): 109-115. ( 6/2005 )
T-cell/histiocyte-rich large B-cell lymphoma (THRLBCL), a proliferating peripheral B-cell neoplasm, is a morphologic variant of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), which may be confused with Hodgkin''s lymphoma, non-Hodgkin''s lymphoma, and reactive lymphadenopathies. Though more recent studies suggested that it might be a distinct clinicopathologic entity and/or a heterogeneous entity with derivation from germinal center B cells, its histogenetic derivation remains controversial. The authors analyzed 30 cases of THRLBCL to further characterize the origin of the neoplastic cells using immunohistochemical and molecular studies for expression of Bcl-6, CD10, and CD138, as well as rearrangements of IgH/bcl-2 genes on paraffin-embedded tissue. Half of the cases (15/30) showed Bcl-6 expression and five cases (19%) showed CD10 expression, but none had CD138 expression (0/20). Only three cases showed coexpression of both Bcl-6 and CD10. Molecular studies performed in 21 cases detected rearrangement of immunoglobulin heavy gene in 18 cases, with none having detectable Bcl-2 gene rearrangement. These data indicate that similar to DLBCL, the cell origin of neoplastic cells in THRLBCL is composed of a heterogeneous group of proliferating peripheral B cells, with only some cases originating from germinal center B cells and others derived from heterogeneous origins. Lack of Bcl-2 gene rearrangements seems to argue against a possible progression from preexisting follicular lymphoma. Thus, the normal counterpart of the neoplastic cells cannot at this time be the sole basis for the subclassification of THRLBCL.

44.5 (2004): 462-471. ( 5/2004 )
AIMS: To assess the usefulness of immunohistochemistry in delineating tumour diagnoses on a series of morphologically diagnosed renal spindle cell tumours (RSCTs). METHODS AND RESULTS: Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues from 31 morphologically diagnosed tumours were reinterpreted in light of newly obtained immunohistochemical information. By morphology, six had originally been classified as sarcomatoid carcinoma, five as spindle cell tumour (NOS), four as sarcoma (NOS), three as leiomyoma, three as leiomyosarcoma, and one each as fibrous polyp, hamartoma, neurilemmoma, mesoblastic nephroma, medullary fibroma, angiomyolipoma, haemangiopericytoma, malignant rhabdoid tumour, malignant Triton tumour, and carcinosarcoma. The application of immunohistochemistry verified the original diagnosis in 18 cases (18/31, 58%), confirming the diagnosis of sarcomatoid renal carcinoma (4/6), leiomyoma (2/3), leiomyosarcoma (3/3), sarcoma (NOS) (2/4), carcinosarcoma (1/1), malignant rhabdoid tumour (1/1), malignant Triton tumour (1/1), fibrous polyp (1/1), mesoblastic nephroma (1/1), hamartoma (1/1), and angiomyolipoma (1/1). Different tumour designations were suggested in 13 cases (13/31, 42%), including carcinosarcoma, sarcoma (NOS), leiomyosarcoma, solitary fibrous tumour, monomorphic/biphasic angiomyolipoma, endometrial stromal tumour, and congenital mesoblastic nephroma. CONCLUSIONS: Our data indicate that although morphology is most important in formulating the initial differential diagnosis, the addition of immunohistochemistry is vital in arriving at the correct classification of RSCTs.

. "Anaplastic large cell lymphoma associated with Epstein-Barr virus following cardiac transplant."
American Journal of Surgical Pathology
2004;28:410-415. ( 3/2004 )
Posttransplantation lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLDs) eventually occur in approximately 5% of all organ transplant recipients. Most of cases are B-cell proliferations associated with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). T-cell PTLDs are relatively rare, although some estimate that up to 14% of posttransplantation malignant lymphomas are T-cell lymphomas even though only a few of these cases are described in the literature. A literature review found only 77 cases of T-cell PTLD, including 1 case following cardiac transplant, 15 cases associated with EBV, and only 1 case of anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL). This single ALCL case followed a liver transplant, was of the T-cell phenotype, and was EBV negative. In this report, we describe a 14-year-old male who developed an EBV-positive, T-cell PTLD of the ALCL subtype after a period of 14 years following cardiac transplant. Immunohistochemical staining established the T-cell origin of the neoplasm with strong expression of CD45, CD3, CD43, and CD2 and also showed expression of CD30 consistent with the histologic features that suggested ALCL. EBER in situ hybridization detected the presence of the EBV. Polymerase chain reaction analysis for T-cell receptor-gamma gene rearrangements confirmed the T-cell lineage of this lymphoma. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of an EBV-positive T cell lymphoma of the anaplastic large cell subtype following organ transplant.

Cover page article, co-first authorship
2002;122:1878-1885. ( 6/2002 )
Background & Aims
: Molecular misreading of the ubiquitin B gene has been documented in the cerebral cortex of patients with Alzheimer's disease and Down syndrome. This novel process consists of the unfaithful conversion of genomic information into aberrant transcripts and its subsequent translation into +1 proteins.
: Because Mallory bodies (MBs) also contain ubiquitinated proteins, we stained 11 autopsied and 6 biopsied MB-containing livers from patients with steatohepatitis with an antibody to ubiquitin+1 to look for the presence of mutant (ubiquitin +1) protein. Antibodies to wild-type ubiquitin were used to document the presence of MBs in all cases.
: Ubiquitin+1 immunoreactivity was detected in all MB-containing livers with steatohepatitis; no ubiquitin+1 immunoreactivity was found in 13 MB-free liver controls. A subpopulation (about one third of the MBs) of the MB-containing hepatocytes in autopsied livers showed ubiquitin+1 immunoreactivity (i.e., ubiquitin and ubiquitin+1 colocalized in MBs). MBcontaining liver biopsy specimens showed colocalization of ubiquitin and ubiquitin+1 in every MB. Western blot analysis showed an ubiquitin+1 band of 11 kilodaltons. Molecular misreading of the ubiquitin B gene (
GU) was shown in one of the livers, which contained numerous MBs using an expression cloning strategy.
: The results showed that molecular misreading of the ubiquitin B gene occurred in hepatocytes in virtually all of the MB-containing livers tested. Ubiquitin+1 protein was only found within the MBs and therefore may act by interfering with the degradation of the MBs because ubiquitin+1 may inhibit proteolytic function of the proteasome.

2002;94:1522-1531. ( 3/2002 )
BACKGROUND: To retrospectively evaluate the significance of morphologic examination and ancillary studies performed on bilateral bone marrow biopsy specimens, 1864 bone marrow samples were studied. METHODS: Bilateral bone marrow biopsy specimens included 883 specimens that were evaluated for involvement by non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL); 381 specimens that were evaluated for involvement by carcinoma (CA); 362 specimens that were evaluated for involvement by Hodgkin disease (HD); 94 specimens that were evaluated for involvement by sarcoma (SA); 56 specimens that were evaluated for involvement by multiple myeloma (MM); 53 specimens that were evaluated for involvement by acute and chronic leukemia, myelodysplasia, and/or myeloproliferative disorders (LEUK); and 35 specimens that were evaluated for other reasons. RESULTS: Of all 1864 specimens, 410 samples (22.0%) were positive for disease, including 77% of MM samples, 58% of LEUK samples, 29.6% of NHL samples, 14% of SA samples, 9.9% of HD samples, and 6.8% of CA samples. A discrepancy between the left and right sides was identified in 48 specimens (11.7% of positive samples). The discrepancy rate was 39% for HD samples, 29% for SA samples, 23% for CA samples, and 9.2% for NHL samples. No morphologic discrepancies between bilateral samples were found in MM samples or LEUK samples. Bilateral flow cytometric studies (n = 113 samples) were positive in 11 samples (9.7%; all morphologically positive), with two discrepancies detected between bilateral samples. Bilateral cytogenetic studies (n = 74 samples) were positive in 5 samples (7%), and there were no discrepancies. Bilateral molecular studies (n = 16 samples) were positive in 7 samples (44%), and there were 3 discrepancies. CONCLUSIONS: Bilateral morphologic evaluation is useful in the evaluation of patients with NHL, HD, CA, and SA and is not indicated for patients with acute or chronic leukemia, myelodysplasia, MM, and other diseases. Bilateral flow cytometric or cytogenetic studies of bone marrow did not provide additional information in this population to justify bilateral samples. The role of bilateral molecular analysis needs to be defined further, but pooled samples for molecular studies may be adequate. Copyright 2002 American Cancer Society.

2001;39:476-481. ( 11/2001 )
AIMS: To describe five cases of diffuse large-cell lymphoma with prominent spindle cell components involving skin, nasal-ocular mucosa, and soft tissue. Because of the spindle cell morphology, such cases must be differentiated from true sarcomas arising in or metastasizing to soft tissue, skin, bone, lymph node, or other organs and sites. METHODS AND RESULTS: Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded archival tissue from five consultation cases of diffuse large-cell lymphoma with prominent spindle cell features involving the skin, nasal-ocular mucosa, and soft tissue in three male and two female patients was studied by histology and immunohistochemistry. Clinicopathological findings were also reviewed for all the patients. By morphology, initial evaluation of the cases suggested spindle cell sarcoma in two cases, inflammatory pseudotumour in one case, large-cell lymphoma in another case, and one case was considered suspicious for malignant lymphoma. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated a B-cell lineage in four of the spindle cell lesions, with a diagnosis of primary cutaneous CD30+ anaplastic large cell lymphoma made for the fifth case. Four of five cases also showed actin reactivity. CONCLUSIONS: Although extremely rare, lymphomas with prominent spindle cell morphology can be encountered in daily surgical pathology practice, and should be included in the differential diagnosis of spindle cell lesions in skin and soft tissue. The observed actin reactivity in four of the five spindle cell lymphomas may lead to a misdiagnosis of leiomyosarcoma if lymphoid markers are not included in the immunohistochemical panel.

American Journal of Surgical Pathology
2001;25:1194-1199. ( 9/2001 )
Solitary fibrous tumors are spindle cell neoplasms frequently arising in the serosal surface as well as a variety of other sites. We report two cases of large solitary fibrous tumor arising in the kidney, clinically thought to be renal cell carcinoma, in 41- and 72-year-old men. Although large in size (13.0 and 14.0 cm in greatest dimension, respectively), both lesions were well circumscribed and composed of a mixture of spindle cells and dense collagenous bands with no areas of necrosis or cystic changes noted macroscopically or microscopically. Immunohistochemical studies revealed reactivity for vimentin, CD34, collagen IV, and bcl-2 protein in both cases, with no staining for keratin, S-100 protein, or muscle markers, confirming the diagnosis of solitary fibrous tumor of the kidney. Solitary fibrous tumor of the kidney is rare but may present as a large mass that may be clinically confused with carcinoma or sarcoma.

If you haven't signed up for the Foodie Friday Newsletter yet, you can do that on the right hand side ----> Just enter your email, and you'll be good to go! The next installment will be coming out next Friday!
It was a pretty slow week around here. On Monday I had a headache like I've never experienced before that just took me out. The rest of the week I've been spending my time helping the kids with Science Fair Projects. We were researching Butterflies and Fish. Let me tell you, that was a lot of fun! I just wish I could have been with them as they presented it to the judges today.
Some cool new things though around here - if you scroll way down to the bottom of the page you'll find a new bar for the Daily Meal! I've joined up with their Culinary Content Network. I feel I'm going to learn a lot from the other amazing bloggers in the network, and be able to bring you all better content. Wahoo! So go check them out!
If you missed my only other post this week - I'll just send you to look at it now. Help me raise awareness for Project HEAL and eating disorders. You can look forward to guest posts and educational info on eating disorders. Isn't that exciting?
So enough about me! Let's take a look at our Featured Blogger this week!
Meet Lindsay - blogger behind Life, Love & Sugar. Her sweets call my name every single week! It's hard not to start baking up a storm after looking at her photos. Lindsay loves sugar, and making dinner, and being crafty. I got a kick out of reading through the Fun Facts she has on her site. Just to give you a fun idea
- she's eaten an entire Funfetti/Rainbow chip icing cake on her very own...in 48 hours!
- She would be a dolphin if she could for a whole day. Because dolphins rock!
- One of her favorite things is waking up on the beach from a nap. So jealous that you can do that Lindsay!
I feel this recipe needs the word Loaded in there. It is loaded my friends, and I want a piece right now!
I'm sold on anything that is topped with cream cheese frosting. Don't you just love this photo?

By MICHAEL OVERSONSun Advocate reporter
Mayor Doug Parsons went before the CIB board in an attempt to receive funding for improvements on the Sunnyside city hall building. The CIB board declined the project due to size and scope of project with regard to percent of actual city use in the building, and energy efficiency projects they noted are not covered by them and that Sunnyside should contact energy efficiency agencies to asses its assets. The project description included space for businesses, and the CIB does not finance economic development so no further action will be taken. Commissioner Michael Milovich said in a written response that he would rather support a new building than renovate the existing one.
The city also purchased risk management equipment. Ex-mayor Andrews sent the city a check for $412.17 to go towards the purchase of risk management supplies. Utah local government trust covers 5 percent of insurance premium for purchase of risk management supplies. Cities are eligible after they meet six requirements: participate in liability property and workers compensation coverage through a trust, have an active safety committee, yearly sewer manhole inspections, attend risk management training, have all drivers sign trust safe driver pledge, and attach remaining receipts for approved expenditures.
The council approved grant for the Carbon County Recreation/Transportation Special Service District in regards to the new little league bathrooms. The new bathrooms will cost $62,438. The new structure will needed a level spot and plumbing run into it. The city will provide man power and equipment to dig and prepare the site. This new facility will serve the ATV trails and the proposed RV park along the boarder of the park as well as the little league fields. CIB will need to fund some of the cost to get the project underway.
Last Friday HalStead construction gave an update as to where the city is with the new Public Safety building. The cost of office supplies will be between $14,000 and $16,000 which ranges from pens and projectors to coffee pots and signage. Additional lighting is needed in the shower facilities because it was noted by Parsons that it is pretty dark in there. Sunnyside and East Carbon will meet on Thursday to discuss the new facility and make sure the two cities are on the same page.
The discussion to close the alley between Edgehill and Pinion drew a lot of comments from the board and audience. Mayor Parsons wants to close the alley because he has experienced several instances of vandalism to his property. It was noted that vandalism could happen in the front as well. The alley dead ends at private property and people currently trespass when they use the alley. The board discussed the option of sending out a questionnaire to get the public's input on the issue. Parsons noted that people bring their ATVs and trucks through his property. Closing the road would only keep law abiding people out, a member of the audience stated. The matter comes down to convenience and whether or not private property trespassing should be addressed. The board couldn't reach a common consensus so the questionnaire will be sent out as to the solution to the problem.
The council found some problems with the payables section of the agenda several payment amount were wrong. Once fixed, the motion to pay the city bills was passed.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The first step in speeding up slow commutes on the First Coast cleared its first hurdle.
The Southeast corridor between St. Augustine and Jacksonville is now listed as the top priority for the much anticipated First Coast Commuter Rail.
It's good news for Mike Kinchen, who spends 40-plus hours a week behind the wheel as a tow truck driver for Adkison Towing.
"That's always a dead giveaway. Accidents on I-95, 295 but we'll take the side roads like Baymeadows, Philips Highway," he said.
The slow-and-go around Jacksonville is pushing tow truck drivers with Adkison Towing to take alternate routes because what used to be a 35-minute response time has increased to 45 minutes or less.
Kinchen said the never ending cycle of congestion and construction from Mayport to St. Augustine is to blame. But crazed commuters could be getting the break they've been waiting for as the First Coast Commuter Rail System Plan inches forward.
The 38-mile St. Augustine stretch of the plan is getting the green light from the North Florida Transportation Organization (TPO), after looking at growth patterns, existing infrastructure and expected growth.
The TPO is part of north Florida's long range transportation planning and works in conjunction with the Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA).
JTA officials tell First Coast News the estimated capital cost for the overall network is $622 million. The Southeast corridor, which would service the St. Augustine area, is estimated at $172 million.
Officials said it is too soon to determine where the funds will come from.

A morbid, irrational fear of Friday the 13th.
Friday is Frigga's Day. Frigga (Frigg) was an ancient Scandinavian fertility and love goddess, equivalent to the Roman Venus who had been worshipped on the sixth day of the week. Christians called Frigga a witch and Friday the witches' Sabbath; modern Wiccans are happy to oblige.

As spring approaches, we can look back on a very successful fall and winter at the Peabody. Our 12th Annual ¡Fiesta Latina! saw more than 2,500 attendees. It was a wonderful celebration of culture, identity, and family. In September, our temporary exhibition The Hidden Life of Ants opened with a great family day and told a great story of those tiny titans while on view. And in October we were very excited to hold our first Haunted Hall Crawl and Costume Ball.
In January, we continued a great tradition with our 19th annual celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Legacy of Environmental and Social Justice—the largest gathering of its kind in Connecticut. Performances, poetry slams, and activities for all ages populated the Museum. If you've never experienced Martin Luther King Day at the Museum, we hope to see you at next year's event.
Finally, we are very proud to announce the opening in March of our temporary exhibition, Samurai and the Culture of Japan's Great Peace. Developed by the Museum's talented staff and a team of Yale historians, this landmark exhibition tells the dynamic and fascinating history of the samurai. But unlike most exhibitions on the topic, it focuses on their final period—a 250-year span of sustained peace. To tell this story, more than 150 objects from the University's collections will be displayed, many on view for the very first time. Be sure to follow all of the great programming that will accompany the exhibition—from lectures and family days to film series and tours.
We look forward to seeing you soon.
The Peabody Museum of Natural History is an administrative unit of Yale University, reporting through the Provost to the University, President and the Yale Corporation. The Yale Peabody Museum operates under the authority of the Yale Corporation, which appoints the Museum Director on the nomination of the President. The Museum's Board of Curators is comprised of 19 full-time Yale faculty members, including the Director, who are appointed by the Corporation on nomination by the President. The current governance structure at the Museum integrates the academic expertise of its faculty curators with the professional skills of a full-time staff. The Director, aided by senior administrative staff, bears responsibility for management. In 1995, a formal collaboration was established among the Yale Peabody Museum, the Yale Institute for Biospheric Studies, and the School of Forestry and Environmental Studies. This environmental partnership recognizes the Peabody Museum as a resource and catalyst for interdisciplinary research on the earth's history and environment, and seeks to strengthen the intellectual ties between the Museum and other groups with a shared interest in environmental research at Yale. The Museum's collections are a major component of the research and teaching activities of the Peabody and Yale. The Curators and staff are engaged in contributing new knowledge based on the Museum's research materials and making this knowledge available to the general public and to specialized audiences. All collections are used in undergraduate and graduate teaching and research, as well as in public programs and exhibitions. The Yale Peabody Museum fills many important roles on the Yale University campus, particularly as it has expanded its role in the community and the region, thereby offering a "front door" to the University for the general public.

Let me be up front with my biases. I'm a Wally fan. For me, Barry was the guy who showed up when Wally really needed a push in the right direction and then he went back into the Speed Force until the next time he was needed. He was kind of like Ben Kenobi in Empire Strikes Back. So, to have Barry back pushing Wally out of the spotlight is kind of like if Ben was the lead character of Return of the Jedi.
This book is entertaining. You probably won't be bored. But I kind of wonder who it's aimed at. The story requires you to know quite a bit of Flash back story if you want to have any chance of following it. But people who have read a lot of these stories may not take kindly to the trade-mark Geoff Johns retcons in this issue.
I don't think this book is being written for Barry Allen fans. (Which is probably a good thing, because I think they are a dying breed.) I imagine some Barry fans are thrilled just to have Barry back. But I also have to think there are some that are wondering why DC bothered to bring him back if they are going to change the character so completely. This new spin on Barry isn't grim and gritty, but he's not the Silver Age Barry Allen I read about in JLA: Year One and Brave and the Bold.
Johns goes to lengths to get Barry dirty. He goes so far as to have Barry run through a list of his sins and failures. He also has Barry act like a bit of a jerk sometimes. Oh, and there's an entertaining retcon regarding Barry's fashion sense. But after all the tweaks, the guy I'm reading about just doesn't feel like Barry.
The main plot deals with Barry's investigation into Savitar's death. If you don't know who Savitar was, I suppose it's okay. Johns used him as cannon fodder last issue. You may scratch your head a few times wondering where he came from or how he got trapped in the Speed Force. But ultimately, it doesn't really matter much. Savitar's death is just a plot device.
We also get some flashbacks (no pun intended) to Barry's early days as a forensic scientist and how he met his future wife, Iris West. A subplot is introduced regarding the death of Barry's mother. Apparently, Barry was trying to clear his father of the crime. I'm not a big enough Barry fan to know if this is an established part of Barry's history or another retcon. But it felt like something Johns was adding on to deliver a more angsty Barry.
The issue ends with a shocking revelation regarding Barry's new status quo. Presumably, this explains why Barry has remained in our world rather than returning to the Speed Force. I guess I'd be a little more shocked if I believed this change would remain in place after the conclusion of this mini-series.
If you like what Johns has been doing with Hal Jordan in Green Lantern, odds are you'll like this Rebirth too. I admit, I enjoyed the book too. I just wish it was a little less heavy-handed in the reinvention of the title character.

Societal Dimensions: Current Research
Snake River Case Study: Institutions, Adaptation, the Prior Appropriation Doctrine, and the Development of Water Markets
- Richard A. Slaughter, CIG and Richard Slaughter Assoc. (contact person)
- Don C. Reading, CIG and Ben Johnson & Assoc.
The Columbia Basin, consisting of the Snake and Columbia rivers and their tributaries (Figure 1), has come to support intensive utilization for irrigated agriculture and hydropower. One major feature of the Columbia, and more specifically the Snake, is that snowpack is historically significant in relation to total flow. Snowpack provides at least three major benefits:
- it feeds underground water courses resulting in springs and continuous summer flow in the river;
- it extends the availability of water over the summer for plants throughout the region; and
- it provides storage for the irrigation and hydro systems built during the 19th and 20th centuries.
Climate change is expected to result in a progressively smaller snowpack, and earlier runoff. In addition to biological and hydrologic effects, because the Snake does not have sufficient storage for total annual flow, earlier runoff will reduce water availability during the summer as well as increasing hydropower production at the time of year when it is least valuable.
Climate change is not the first challenge faced by human users of the Snake River in the last 150 years. Public policy has evolved during that period, from development of the West to protection of fish and habitat. In implementation of established policy, state and Federal governments have experimented with institutional forms to support desired economic and demographic activity. Many of these experiments took the form of enabling realization of scale economies; others dealt with effects of drought, growth, and, later, conflicting uses. The legal basis for water allocation has been grounded in the doctrine of Prior Appropriation.
This project consists of a series of undertakings designed to determine what institutional forms have developed to govern the Snake River since 1850, which have been successful, and what common threads can be found in the successful and unsuccessful adaptations over that period. The project also includes examination of the Klamath River in Oregon for purposes of comparing Snake River institutions with those of the Klamath and examining the degree to which issues of water allocation have become subject to political - as opposed to legal, regulatory, or market - decisions.
Research Questions
- What has been the historic interaction among public policy, water use, and water institutions in the Snake Basin?
- How have institutions evolved to allocate water to various uses and to users?
- How well do the institutions reflect and further public policy?
- How well have institutions adapted to stress, as induced by drought, growth, and changed public policy preference? Does innovative behavior increase during periods of stress?
- What appear to be the central features of successful institutional forms?
- Has the Prior Appropriation Doctrine contributed to, or detracted from, innovative and adaptive behavior?
- To what extent have water markets developed in Idaho, and do they work?
The project is expected to produce, among other outputs, papers on the following topics:
- Snake River institutional history, tracing uses and institutional innovation from 1850 to present. This paper focuses on development of irrigated agriculture and on institutional adaptation to stress induced by drought and growth. It also examines the basic linkage between most of the institutional forms and Prior Appropriation, which became part of the Idaho Constitution on statehood in 1889. (Slaughter 2004)
- A closer examination of the cycle of development, drought, innovation, and growth on the Snake. This study examines interactions among institutional forms, evolving technology, demand growth, and changing public policy preferences, including changes in the basic allocative law, Prior Appropriation, and the emergence of market structures. (Slaughter 2004)
- Comparison of the institutional forms prevalent on the Snake with those prevalent on the Klamath River. That comparison will be based in the inability of Klamath institutions to handle the drought stress of 2001, together with the relatively different experience on the Snake. (Slaughter and Wiener 2007)
- The dynamics of institutional adaptation under Prior Appropriation. Many commentators have written on Prior Appropriation, most either to condemn it or to suggest revisions to facilitate emergence of genuine water markets. This paper will examine Prior Appropriation as providing the required legal rights to own, buy, and sell, without which markets cannot exist. The analysis extends to the generic problem of how a resource-based economy shifts from one base to another. (Slaughter, in review)
- Idaho water markets. Water markets have existed in Idaho since the early 1900s. They developed originally to deal with agriculture water shortages during drought. These water markets were tightly controlled as to price and distribution. Recently there have been significant changes in driving forces behind water markets, which have resulted in several different markets being formed. This analysis examines the factors behind these changes and describes the changes in water market structure. (Reading, in review)
- Conjunctive management of water on the Snake River. The management of ground and surface water together (conjunctive management) is currently being practiced in Idaho. The Idaho Department of Water Resources is developing techniques to deal with complexities of conjunctive water management, in response to legal actions taken to enforce surface water rights. Models have been developed that can facilitate the transfer of ground water rights, under which the purchaser is required to internalize many of the externalities that usually accompany such transfers. The analysis shows how this approach makes for a more efficient water market by reducing transactions costs. (Slaughter 2004)

How do I print envelop from alternate tray of HP8600?
I bouight the premier HP 8600 to allow the loading of envelops in the alternate tray so I don't have to remove paper from default tray. However, I cannot find a way to specify the tray for printing except to lock it in for all printing. Is there a way to have the printer select the alternate tray based on the paper size?
Re: How do I print envelop from alternate tray of HP8600?
Hi Albigor,
I understand you would like to have your HP OfficeJet 8600 Premium set up so that you can use one of the paper trays for regular prints and designate one specifically for printing envelopes. Yes, you do have this option, I want you to take a look here: Setting Up the Printer to Print and Copy from Tray 1 and Tray 2- This will walk you through setting up the paper trays to meet your needs.
Helpful Tip: If you do a lot of printing and copying on specialty paper, you can set up the printer to print on plain paper from Tray 2 and specialty paper from Tray 1. Tray 2 prints only on plain Letter, Legal, or A4 paper. If you choose this option, you might want to make Tray 2 your default input tray.
I hope this helps! If you need more help or have any questions let me know.
Thank you,
I work on behalf of HP

Conservatives, liberals and their news sources
A Letter to the Editor titled "What do they stand for?" should beat Burger King out for Whopper of the Year.
That's because the letter is nothing but one whopper after another. First, Rick Page says it is hard to believe either the Tea Party or the GOP is interested in helping Americans. But look at everything that is run by Mr. Page's Democrats: Washington D.C., California, Detroit, Chicago, New York and more. Yep, those are Democrat success stories. NOT.
He goes on to say that Paul Ryan only called one person to testify in his congressional hearing on poverty that is actually poor, and claims Ryan made her submit a 64-page statement for the record. The fact is she and her husband made nearly 20 dollars and hour in wages. Also, her testimony was on page 64 of the congressional record; she did not submit a 64-page long statement.
He claims in June 2014 that Gallop released a poll claiming 94 percent of Fox News viewers are Republicans and 66 percent are hard-nosed viewers. The poll was in 2013 and again that is not true. On the Gallop website, it said Fox News is a clear driver of Republicans' higher tendency to turn to television for their news, with 20 percent versus 6 percent of Independents and 1 percent of Democrats, naming it as their main news source. The closest is CNN, named by 10 percent of Democrats, 6 percent of independents, and 4 percent of Republicans.
It also said that 94 percent of Fox viewers lean toward being conservative, but it did not say they were Republicans. It also said, by contrast, 46 percent of core CNN viewers identify as Democrat, and 63 percent identify as or lean Democratic.
Fox News is number one and a success story because it is managed by conservatives, and they are fair and balanced. CNN, on the other hand, is on the verge of bankruptcy because it is managed by Liberals and is consistently untrustworthy.
CNN mirrors the Democrat party because they are the Democratic Party.
