Family members are hoping gallbladder surgery will send injured toddler Tripp Halstead back on his road to recovery.
The 2-year-old fared well Friday during the procedure, the 13th surgery for the youngster who was hit in the head when a tree limb fell at his Winder day care five months ago.
According to Tripp's mom Stacy, writing on the Tripp Halstead Updates Facebook page, the surgeon said the boy's gallbladder was inflamed and contained stones and blocked ducts.
Because of the way the surgery had to be performed, doctors said Tripp may have a longer and more painful recovery, but Stacy has said many have hopes that removing the inflamed organ will reduce the boy's pain.
A week ago, Tripp left the hospital on the five month anniversary of his injury, but he had to return Monday due to the gall bladder.

+1 for the coconut oil on dry skin and hair - it works wonders and smells good too !
+1 for the coconut oil on dry skin and hair - it works wonders and smells good too !
1) I suggest rubbing Grapeseed Oil into your problem skin areas. This is truly a MIRACLE product for skin problems.
I use it on my feet every morning, and my feet & toenails have gone from flaky, fungy, itchy, yucky, stinky, fugly to picture perfect. Wife uses it on her extremely dry skin after showers.
2) Take Vitamin K2 in the AM & PM. Vitamin K2 is great for skin problems.
The Heart, Bone and Skin Health Benefits of Vitamin K |*Smart Publications
If the above doesn't help, I think you are having a reaction to your diet. Try eliminating your Night Shades, which are known to cause skin problems.
Ok I'll have to try some of these things--ironically, coconut oil makes everything worse. I have a big tub of it in the bathroom and will use it anywhere but my hair and face--it turns both into a mess. And not just from being oily, it makes my skin peel more
I may have to try the grapeseed, I think my mom mentioned it. Can you just buy it at Whole Foods or somewhere? Does it cost much?
Oh yeah- Tea Tree might help too.
Could be Histamine Intolerance, its what I'm dealing with too. A lot of the foods you listed are high in histamine.

1. To make crust: Stir together all-purpose and whole-wheat flours, sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, swirling the pan, until the butter turns a nutty brown, about 30 seconds. Pour into a small bowl and let cool. Stir in oil. Slowly stir the butter-oil mixture into the flour with a fork until the mixture is crumbly. Gradually stir in enough ice water so that the dough will hold together. Press the dough into a flattened disk.
2. Place two overlapping lengths of plastic wrap on the work surface. Set the dough in the center and cover with two more sheets of plastic wrap. Roll the dough with a rolling pin into a 13-inch circle. Remove the top sheets and invert the dough into a 9-inch, deep-dish pie pan. Remove the remaining wrap. Fold the edges under at the rim and crimp. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
3. To make filling: Position rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 350°F. Lightly whisk eggs in a medium bowl. Add pumpkin, evaporated milk, molasses and rum (or vanilla). Combine brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt in a small bowl. Rub through a sieve into the pumpkin mixture and whisk until incorporated.
4. Pour the filling into the prepared crust and bake until the filling has set and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes, covering the edges with foil if they are browning too quickly. Cool on a wire rack.

Android phones and tablets news:
The perpetual crisis of casual gaming is that need for just one… more… turn. After all, those 29 levels of progress aren't coming with you to the office, are they? Big Fish Games wants to ease our consciences (or at least our egos) with Big Fish Unlimited. By using HTML5 to constantly save progress, the cloud service remembers exactly where a player was and ports it to the next device: it's possible to hop from a Android tablet, to a Roku box, to a Windows PC's browser without having to replay anything. The nature of the streaming games themselves won't give OnLive players second thoughts, but their lighter footprint won't demand as much from an internet connection, either. Most of the intended audience will appreciate the price — the now active service costs $8 a month for access to more than 100 games from the full catalog, and free play is on tap for 20 of the games as long as you can endure periodic ads. Whether or not coworkers can endure another round of your hidden object games is another matter.

« Avandia's Latest Round |
| Run! Anthropologists! »
Posted by Derek
Here's a little night-time journey through Genentech's Vacaville manufacturing site, through the eyes of someone who has no idea of what he's seeing. The problem is, he doesn't know that - he and his friend think that they have it all figured out:
"On the one hand this place makes drugs that save people's lives -- treatments for cancers and cystic fibrosis and asthma," she told me. "Heading out," I told her, as the construction worker walked across the campus towards the gate.
"And yet, on the other hand, this place is pure evil." We walked past large vats labeled "Poison" and huge machines that looked like they could crush us. Smoke belched from the top of the building and we could see more buildings and a parking lot in the distance.
"Companies like this are made up of dozens of people, each of whom, individually, are the sweetest guys. Nice, friendly people who just care about doing well at their work." As we approached the buildings, we saw that even now -- 2AM -- the place was alive. New cars were pulling into the lot and men and women were walking from building to building. The yellowed light on their white lab coats gave the whole thing a sinister air.
"And yet, together, they manage to pull off the most incomprehensible evils. . ."
Well, incomprehensible to Aaron Swartz and his friend, anyway. The essay is written as a feeble imitation of Hunter Thompson's "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Swartz presents himself through the whole piece as a passive, puzzled observer. It all just seems too much for him - equipment he doesn't recognize, people doing things he doesn't understand for reasons that he can't quite work out. The Genentech scientist in the piece comes across as a much more human figure, although there's some attempt to make him a figure of fun. Which reminds me - if anyone out there works at the Vacaville site, or knows someone who does, I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who witnessed this tiny adventure from another perspective).
Aaron Swartz, by the way, was one of the early people behind the social media site Reddit, which is intermittently interesting. These days, though, it's more often a swamp of delusional conspiracy groupthink. If it were your only news source, you'd likely be convinced that (among many other unusual things) storm troopers were sweeping the streets, rounding up supporters of Ron Paul. Or, perhaps, that Genentech was run by creatures out of H. P. Lovecraft.

Having read the original piece, I wonder what makes you think any of it actually happened? It all looks like a rather lame attempt at parodying the gonzo style and gave me the impression that the whole thing was invented. Does Swartz (there is a T in his name, BTW) say somewhere that the events are factual?
3. A-non-y-mous on August 1, 2007 5:16 AM writes...
Pseudo-journalism, part truth, part fiction, pure crap. Why give this hack a stage? I could care less about him writing about a biotech firm, it's just that his writing is atrocious.
If you read the comments, someone that was there (maybe, maybe not) posted and commented on some inaccuracies. Then if you go to the loser's homepage he attempts to explain these inaccuracies.
Really, at the beginning he states "we popped some pills and picked up a BMW". I read that as "we did drugs and stole a car". He's going after Hunter's style, but falls short. Lilliputian short. Don't take him seriously.

I figured that if the whole thing were made up, it would have been more interesting. And as for giving him a stage, I think this guy does a lot more traffic than I do already, unfortunately. . .

I don't think I've ever seen a large vat labeled "Poison" in a manufacturing facility. I wonder if it was bubbling? Were there tentacles and eyeballs floating in it? Genentech must be scaling up from their pilot plant in Innsmouth, just down the road from Miskatonic University.

Can't be real. Where were the condensers with colored coolant circulating in them? Where was the dry ice in the beakers full of liquid? How come the Genentech scientist wasn't cackling maniacally as he planned to take over the earth?
10. Sigivald on August 1, 2007 12:27 PM writes...
Anonymous: I can believe storage tanks with a "poison" placard, though - that's at least not implausible, though I don't know what the labeling requirements/practices are in that industry specifically.
It does read as pure fiction to me, at any rate. Especially the unsupported claims of "evil"; one would think someone trying to actually produce an exposé would be more specific about even one example of "evil".
11. Wavefunction on August 1, 2007 2:22 PM writes...
Sensational-sounding slander always does a lot of traffic. Hardly surprising.
12. Morten on August 1, 2007 4:51 PM writes...
Um... Honestly I think that piece is taking the piss on biotech/pharma-conspiratards. The line about how even though Genentech makes cures for cancer and cystic fibrosis and all the people that work there are really nice guys, you should never forget that the place is pure evil..? This guy is pulling your leg(s) guys.
And he does say in the very first line that he is ripping off Fear and Loathing.
13. Tim on August 1, 2007 10:32 PM writes...
Actually, Morten, while Swartz took artistic license in places with the 'article', his sentiment is serious.
It should be noted that Swartz is approximately 22 years of age; his only claim to fame is winning the lottery and becoming associated with the founders of www.reddit.com, a failed experiment in an users-as-editors content driven site. He was forced to quit or fired, incidentally. His attitude (it doesn't rise to the level of 'viewpoint') is typical of the early-twenties post-cynical-smarter-than-thou set.

Dead Birds Re-encountered (Free Screening, Robert Gardner in Person)
Presented by Harvard Film Archive at Harvard Film Archive
October 11, 2013
Twenty-eight years after filming Dead Birds, Gardner returned to the Dani villages in 1989 to see what had become of the people he had met and to show them the film. That visit is the kernel for Gardner's latest work. "I have been told by people who know better that it is a risky business returning to a place where you have enjoyed some remarkable experience. But I will say that going back to the Highlands of Western New Guinea (aka West Papua) was enormously engaging. I saw people I cared for deeply and who became part of my life wherever I lived. Making a film about all this was not at all difficult."
– Robert Gardner
Followed by a roundtable discussion with Robert Gardner, Susan Meiselas, William Rothman and

An international motorcycle club has set its sights on holding their annual gathering in Helper in the summer of 2009 and negotiated with the city council May 15 for a spot in town.
"We are representing the Brotherhood of Motorcycle Campers and would like to investigate having the 2009 camp out here in Helper," Alan Hughes and Michelle Goldsmith said.
The Helper residents told the council that they would expect from 75 to 135 members of their club to come to the event from all around the country. They were interested in using the city park and facilities at the pool to accommodate the crowd.
Hughes and Goldsmith quickly dispelled the vision of a sea of black leather riding into town.
"Our members are mostly retired people," Hughes said.
The IBMC came to being in 1973 as the brainchild of Cliff Boswell, a columnist with Road Rider magazine, according to materials from www.ibmc.org. In an article titled IBMC History Boswell says "After consulting with several Road Rider staff members and others, the idea was put into motion... and the Brotherhood of Campers was born."
Unlike many easily identifiable American motorcycle clubs, IBMC members don't have to ride any particular bike. According to the club's materials they ride Hondas, Kawasakis, Suzukis, Yamahas, BMWs, Harleys, Guzzis and Triumphs. So it is not a brand that unites them but their common love of riding and camping.
And ride and camp they do with about 20 different gatherings scheduled between June and October this year, members can traverse from California to Pennsylvania and set up camp. Helper is actually one of the first campouts scheduled for this summer but it will be held in the orchard owned by Hughes and Goldsmith.
Council members also seemed surprised and pleased to learn that this international organization has its headquarters in Helper.
"And thanks for having your headquarters here," Councilman Dean Armstrong said smiling.
After some perusing of next year's calendar, the council urged the group to make their plans for the week of June 24.

Kingumut Naatillugu – (holding the paddle) pointed/touching aft
If you find this video useful please consider purchasing the entire collection on the Rolling with Sticks DVD
Not only does this roll look really impressive, it also is very powerful. It is a sweep roll starting from behind and finishing forward. It was also the first roll I learned where you roll in backwards rather than face forward.
A: To set up hold the paddle extended out to the right at chest level, left hand close to the end of the blade with the blade across your palm and the right hand the same way grasping the loom. Rotate your body clockwise (a long way) and hook the end of the paddle on the left side of the kayak (this is the right side of the kayak when looking backwards!) lean your body towards the back of the kayak to dig the paddle in deeper into the water. It is critical at this kayak to have your right knee in good strong contact with the masik or thigh brace. You are now ready to take a leap of faith and roll in backwards.
B: At this point when you begin learning the roll you are going to feel really disorientated, wait until you feel the kayak fully upside down and then if you are still in position you should feel that the paddle blade is out of the water, this is your sign to engage the sweep and drive! If you don't feel the blade out of the water then reach up waggle the paddle around until you find the right place, remember you should now be face down in the water with your back arched backwards.
C: The next movement is a combination of swinging the paddle towards the front of the kayak while keeping you left hand on your chest at the same time as bending your back straight and then doing a crunch, this arch to crunch motion combined with lifting your knee towards your head will cause the kayak to rotate and will make your head to remain low and in the water.
D: By the time your paddle is perpendicular to the kayak you should be in the crunch position and ready to sweep the paddle across the foredeck in the low brace finish. When learning the roll I found it useful to scull up at the end, until I had confidence that I was able to do the low brace recovery.
When learning this roll it is especially important to be in good contact with your cockpit, it is all too easy to lose your feeling of being at one with the kayak when bent over backwards and trying to find the kayak with your knee while doing the arch to crunch move is a real challenge. I found it useful to consciously jam my right knee hard against the masik just prior to rolling in, this strong feeling of connection helped me instinctively do the right knee raise when upside down and back to front!
If you are looking for more advice on how to improve forward finishing rolls, check out this blog post for training tips.
a) Extiende la pala por la derecha a nivel del pecho. Mano izquierda junto al extremo de la hoja con tu palma sobre ella y la derecha igual agarrando el mástil. Gírate a la derecha. Fija el extremo de la pala a la izquierda del kayak. Inclínate hacia popa para hundir más la pala en el agua. Es esencial que tengas tu rodilla derecha bien fija en el masik o la muslera. Vuélcate hacia atrás.
b) Cuando el kayak esté totalmente volcado, notarás que la hoja está fuera del agua. Si no es así trata de conseguirlo moviendo la pala. Ahora estarás boca abajo con tu espalda doblada hacia atrás (arqueada)
c) Mientras adelantas la pala hacia la proa (mantén la mano izquierda en el pecho) gira la espalda tras contraer el abdomen. Este giro al contraerte combinado con el tirón de rodilla hacia la cabeza hará que el kayak rote y mantendrá tu cabeza baja y en el agua.
d) Cuando la pala esté perpendicular al kayak deberías estar contraído. Desliza la pala sobre la cubierta como al final de un apoyo bajo.

Top prospects bolster their cases at pro day, and other Ducks make presence felt
From today's editions:
The biggest name among Oregon's prospects for this year's NFL draft, outside linebacker Dion Jordan, spent Thursday's pro timing day on the sidelines, his surgically repaired right shoulder in a sling.
Another of the Ducks' NFL Scouting Combine participants, safety John Boyett, also was reduced to spectating as he recovers from knee surgery. Offensive lineman Kyle Long and running back Kenjon Barner, meanwhile, targeted specific drills on which they wanted to improve after the combine in Indianapolis last month.
Thus, the marquee draw Thursday was linebacker Kiko Alonso, who didn't do timed drills at the combine, and Oregon's lower-profile prospects, who got a chance to stand out for the perhaps three dozen NFL personnel on hand in the Moshofsky Center.
"I thought it went well," said Long, who has been training in Los Angeles. "I know a lot of these guys who probably deserved combine invites and showcase invites, they didn't get those and today was a great opportunity for them. It's great to see all my teammates again, and all the staff."
Several other Ducks seemed to take advantage of the chance for exposure. Offensive guard Ryan Clanton put up 42 repetitions of 225 pounds in the bench press, six more than any offensive lineman at the combine, and linebacker Michael Clay wanted to demonstrate he could still move well despite gaining some needed weight.
Clay, who led the Ducks with 101 tackles last season, was listed at 222 pounds for the Fiesta Bowl. He was 230 on Thursday, and ran the 40-yard dash in 4.73 seconds.
"It was different at first, eating so much and trying to put on this weight," Clay said. "But now I feel comfortable with it." Click here for the complete story.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Much is made of the battle between mainstream and Tea Party Republicans for the soul of the party, but the Democrats are riven by an internecine struggle of their own.
The two camps are the "corporatists," ably represented by Bill and Hillary Clinton and their entourage, who have largely shaped the policies of the Obama administration, and the "populists," whose current champion is Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts.
The ideological conflict erupted in a bitter exchange over the past week as Third Way Clintonites took the progressive bastion Daily Kos to task, and Kos retaliated in kind.
Opinion: Do Republicans Have a Race Problem?
Political Diary editor Jason Riley on how the left would rather cry "racism" than debate Republican proposals on inequality, upward mobility and the poverty trap. Photo credit: Associated Press.
Whether or not Democrats are able to unite behind Hillary Clinton's presumed candidacy in the 2016 presidential campaign, the conflict between the two factions will affect the course of that campaign and the congressional elections this year and in 2016.
Matt Bennett and Jim Kessler, co-founders of Third Way, a centrist Democratic think tank, accused progressive blogger Markos Moulitsas, the moving force behind Daily Kos, of folding up the "big tent" of the Democratic Party with his insistence on ideological purity.
"We have all witnessed the devastating effect that the politics of purity can have," Bennett and Kessler wrote in a Politico op-ed, "as the Republicans grapple with the toxic impact of the Tea Party on their candidates, their congressional leadership and their governing philosophy. Let's not become them."
Their rant was occasioned by a Moulitsas blog post celebrating Democratic progress after jettisoning many lawmakers who claimed affiliation to the Democratic Party but who could just as well have been Republicans for all their support of liberal ideas.
The post listed nearly a dozen "centrist" Democratic senators, most of whom have since left Congress, and colorfully characterized them as "a pile of suck" — including the likes of Evan Bayh, Joe Lieberman and Tom Daschle.
In the House, the number of so-called "Blue Dog" Democrats, whose party label was an artifact of history, has shrunk dramatically from 54 to 19, he noted.
In their place have come a number of new lawmakers who are genuinely progressive and who have shifted the Democratic caucus "significantly" to the left, Moulitsas said.
"We've dramatically improved the quality and ideological cohesiveness of our Congress and are the beneficiaries of demographic trends that will only accelerate those changes," he wrote in his original post.
After the Third Way broadside in Politico, Moulitsas fired back in those pages: "It's tough to be a 'Third Way' corporatist in today's Democratic Party," he said. "Sure, the numerically small faction of Wall Street and Beltway Democrats has long enjoyed an outsized influence on public policy, but all the hedge-fund money in the world can't change the fact that the party is in the midst of a dramatic reorientation toward a new progressive populism."
And Bennett, Moulitsas added, was hardly one to accuse others of limiting tent size after undermining Elizabeth Warren's 2012 Senate campaign by telling a New York Times reporter that her message was "catastrophically anti-business."
The fly in Moulitsas's ointment is that the current standard-bearer of the corporatist faction, Hillary Clinton, to all appearances has a lock on the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016.

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE -- The Gwinnett County League of Women Voters and its coalition partners will host a forum later this month for local U.S. Congress candidates.
Organizers said Wednesday that Republican incumbent Congressman Rob Woodall and 7th Congressional district challenger Steve Reilly, a Democrat, have confirmed their participation in the debate to be held on Monday, Oct. 15. Chris Vaughn -- Republican challenger for the 4th district -- had also confirmed, but organizers said Democratic incumbent Hank Johnson had not.
The candidate forum will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Gwinnett Technical College's Busbee Center. The college is located at 5150 Sugarloaf Parkway in Lawrenceville.
Each candidate will be asked identical questions and allotted equal time to provide responses, organizers said. Topics will include "contemporary and legislative issues regarding education, health care, immigration, economy, gender (and) environment."
Candidates will also answer questions submitted by the audience.
The event is hosted by a coalition of the Gwinnett County League of Women Voters, OCA-Georgia and the United Ebony Society of Gwinnett County.

Making a splash: Students come to Sun-n-Fun for water safety reminder
As noted safety expert the Cat in the Hat once said, "It's fun to have fun, but you have to know how."
For close to a thousand Collier County middle and high school students who came to the Sun-n-Fun water park Friday afternoon, that was the message on water safety.
A broad range of local organizations "pooled" their resources to put on "Making a Splash!" The event was part of the Hot Summer Nights series of youth-centered activities, timed to have an impact before the school year lets out. The students got brief, but hands-on, instruction in CPR, got some good advice on how to keep themselves and others from becoming a water fatality statistic, and witnessed a mock drowning.
They also took advantage of the chance to make a splash of their own, enjoying all the amenities of the water park, including the open and enclosed water slides, the water cannons and obstacle course, diving boards and the endless lazy river. With dozens of lifeguards, sheriff's deputies, firefighters, EMTs, paramedics, a dive rescue team, fire trucks, ambulances and a medical doctor on hand, they will likely never have a chance to go swimming in a safer environment.
Of course, in most real life situations, all that help is not close at hand on standby, and so it is vital for youngsters, and everybody, to behave so as to insure their own safety. With the students gathered around one of the large pools at Sun-n-Fun, the medical doctor, pediatrician Todd Vedder, made that point.
Vedder is chairman of the Collier County Safe & Healthy Children's Coalition, and knows how to speak to the younger generation. He made his points in short sound bites suited to the attention span of a mass of teens crowded together with their peers and eager to get wet. May is National Drowning Prevention Month, but here, water safety is always a concern.
"In Florida, you can drown year-round," he told them. "Any of you ever babysit, for your own siblings or someone else? If a kid is missing, the first place you look is in the water. You only have seconds to act."
He stressed the importance of knowing what to do if you do pull an unconscious victim from the water.
"Please learn CPR. Saving a life is cool."
T2O Aquatics put on a demonstration of competitive swimming strokes, and held out the promise that with instruction, "you will always beat your friends in the pool," and might just win an athletic swimming scholarship to college.
But the biggest impact came from a little drama staged by the North Naples Fire Control and Rescue District's dive squad. As the students gathered around, a few friends were horsing around in the pool, playing with some paddle boards, when one of them failed to return to the surface. Lifeguard Abigail Santiago did a convincing job of simulating panic, and the agony of knowing a friend may be dying just yards away.
Engineer Aaron Weiny narrated the sequence of events, and the futility and added danger of swimming to a drowning victim yourself. It is important, he told the kids, to call 911 and to carefully note the last place you saw the victim, especially in murky water. In just minutes the paramedics and dive team, who had been waiting in the parking lot, were on hand, sirens blaring and deliberately went about the process of rescue. Even with the first responders literally on the scene, five minutes elapsed before the "victim," lifeguard Tony Aguilera, was brought to the surface, "boarded" and wheeled to an ambulance.
Weiny confirmed that in almost all situations, the dive teams are faced with recovering a body rather than dramatically rescuing the victim, underscoring the critical importance of prevention, staying out of a deadly situation in the first place.
"Way too many kids don't know how to swim," he said. Simple common sense measures can save lives. Never swim alone. Don't dive in if you don't know the depth. Reach or throw — don't go. And in a submerged vehicle, get your seatbelt off, open windows, get children out and then yourself — don't try to save your cellphone or any material object.
"The aquatic environment is a great place to exercise and have fun, but it also needs to be respected," he said.
For more water safety and activities, all school-age kids are invited to a free beach festival sponsored by Ocean Kids, June 7 at Lowdermilk Park in Naples. For more information, go to www.oceankids-online.com.

Video posted by CottonBudda
Did you know that each bottle of champagne holds up to 20 million bubbles? And can effervesce at the rate of 400 bubbles per second? (Compared with effervescence of 150 bubbles per second by beer.) But what happens to your bubbly if you don't finish the bottle and can't recork it? There is an old wives' tale that dangling a silver spoon down the neck of a champagne bottle will preserve the bubbles. To see if there was any truth to this notion, the Mythbusters crew conducted a little experiment that you can see in the video above.
They found the old wives were perhaps mistaken about the effectiveness of the spoon trick. However, the team at Kumkani wines conducted a similar (and more rigorous) test that achieved a different result.
On the Kumkani blog, the wine enthusiasts explained their experimental design that consisted of:
* -Opening two bottles.
* -Pouring a standard glass from each and photographing the wine in the glass.
* -Drinking the wine and recording our impressions – this was a terribly important step and one we had to repeat often.
* -Returning the bottles to the fridge, one with a spoon in it and one without.
* -As the bottles cooled down over the next few hours, recording the temperature in the bottle before repeating the process until the bottles were empty.
Interestingly, the Kumkani team found that the shape of the curve of bubble size distribution (at left) did not change regardless of how flat the wine was. Plus, the number of bubbles was actually higher when the spoon had been dangled in the glass when compared to bottles with no spoon! So in case you don't finish your bottle of bubbly this New Year's Eve, the spoon trick might be worth a try.
Also, if you'd like to impress your friends with your vast knowledge of champagne, check out this video by the Wall Street Journal in which Robert Lee Hotz talks about the history and science of sparkling wine.
Plus, tomorrow on Science Friday, chemist Richard Zare and food writer Harold McGee discuss the proper protocol for enjoying sparkling wines this New Year's Eve. After the broadcast, you can hear the audio here.
Happy New Year!

Whether it would make it through the recovery was another question entirely, one extremely important to the 20 people who work at Labb's Bridesburg factory.
"Our industry came back to life," said Wallace - and when it did, he said, he needed help to switch gears from survival to revival before his family-owned company got chewed up in the process.
Labb was nearly out of cash and some key employees had left by October when Wallace, the plant manager and owner's son, called the Strategic Early Warning Network.
Funded by the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry, the network tries to save jobs before they are lost.
"Saving a job is significantly cheaper than creating one," said Greg Olson, a business consultant who heads the network's new Southeast Pennsylvania office.
The math seems simple.
The network, with a statewide $1 million budget, estimates it saved 1,017 jobs at 25 businesses last year at a cost of $976 per job.
Pennsylvania's weekly unemployment benefit averages $302. So in less than a month, the taxpayer cost to fund a lost job tops what the network might have spent to save it. Olson, however, points out that not every job can be saved. Six months of benefits cost the state $7,852.
Each manufacturing job also feeds the economy by generating as many as four other jobs, the American Alliance for Manufacturing estimates.
The network's niche is privately held, family-run manufacturing businesses.
Often, Olson said, the owners are focused so myopically on keeping their stressed businesses alive that they lack the perspective or energy to handle ongoing damaging business issues.
"They've done a good job hanging on by their fingernails over the last two years," he said, "but their fingernails are being worn to the bone."
That was Mike Ross' situation at Henry Ross & Sons, a custom countertop fabricator in Lititz, Lancaster County.
When the 55-year-old family-owned company contacted the network in early 2009, it was in its second year of unprofitability and four to six months away from closing down and putting 27 people out of work, Ross said.
The network's consultants persuaded the company to lay off a few people who were being kept on out of loyalty but who no longer fit the company's strategic plan. Headcount fell to 22.

hi neill,
it is standard for hotels in the region to collect your passport information to provide to the tourist police. i remember a few times in less-travelled areas of thailand where they even insisted on holding my passport overnight.
i have a faint recollection of a few hotels and travel agents requesting this information ahead of time as well. i know that one place i stayed in cambodia definitely did, for exactly this same reason.
the short answer is that this isn't particularly unusual, and that the lodge is just following the instructions they've been given by the tourist police. don't worry. cheers.

Yes, you must supply your passport details by law in Laos (and most other SEA countries). Usually this is done at registration, but I see nothing particularly unusual about doing it before you arrive. You should of course be discrete in supplying your details, but remember it is a requirement to give them to hotels and guest houses where you stay.

Carlos Elizondo -- CHCI Alumnus December 2010
Carlos Elizondo
Hometown: Harlingen, Texas
Current City: Washington, D.C.
Current Job: Social Secretary to the Vice President & Dr. Biden /
CHCI Program: CHCI Fellow, 1988
Mexican Government Tourism Office, Embassy of Mexico, Washington, D.C.
What have you been doing since you finished the CHCI program(s)?
Shortly after completing my CHCI fellowship, I began working at the National Council of La Raza (NCLR) and after a number of events related positions at trade associations in Washington, I was fortunate enough to serve as an appointee in the Clinton-Gore Administration in both the White House and in the Office of the U.S. Chief of Protocol. Subsequently, I was the Director of Presidential Events for the President of Georgetown University. Currently, I am an appointee in the Obama-Biden Administration serving as Social Secretary to the Vice President & Dr. Biden.
What impact did your CHCI experience have on your career and development as a leader?
My vast experiences at CHCI including – exposure to our nation's capital, to other young Hispanics from various backgrounds, and to a number of Hispanic professional role models – provided me with a solid foundation for my future career path.
How have you stayed engaged in community service?
In both my professional and personal life, it has always been important to me to represent our community in a positive manner. I also think it equally important to give back to the community as I am able, as CHCI did for me. In that regard, I have been honored on many occasions to mentor and share my experiences with other young latinos/latinas, many of whom have been from my home area of south Texas. While in D.C., I have also volunteered in a number of local community organizations.
What advice would you give current and future CHCI participants?
- Remain focused
- Respect others
- Always be prepared
- Take advantage of EVERY opportunity the program and Washington, D.C. has to offer
- Build and develop relationships
- Never, never burn bridges
Where do you see yourself in the next 5-10 years?
Using the skills and knowledge that I have gained throughout my career, I hope to either be in the private sector, or own my own business. On a lighter note, as a senior alum, in 10 years I look forward to finding a great place to retire and to seeing the many accomplishments of the current and future CHCI classes. In any case, I am forever grateful for the opportunities my CHCI Fellowship provided me.

By Ellen Greene
Two weeks ago, Lily, Anna, and I hit the road, headed again for the East Coast. This time we would add Washington, DC to stops in New York City, Weston, Connecticut, and Cape Cod that we made a couple of years ago.
The girls are real troopers and make sassy, fun, thoughtful travel companions. They pack light, rarely complain, mind their manners while staying in other people's homes, and are up for everything, from canoeing to museum hopping to aimless wandering just to see what we see. They're tough, too. Keep them fed and watered, and they'll go for hours.
I enjoy their company more than ever now. To be honest, I wasn't much of a grandmother when they were babies. I didn't coo or flash their photos or fill shopping bags with tiny clothes from Baby Gap and Gymboree. As with my own children, I grew into my role of mother and grandmother as the kids began to talk, especially after they reached "the age of reason," Catholic catechism talk for age seven.
Anyway, back to our trip report. First stop was my brother Jim's house in Connecticut, where other family members living nearby piled in for a barbecue, pool party, and kids' sleepover. Earlier, sister-in-law Teri took the girls into town for their first manicure and pedicure.
Anna wriggled her bright green nails under my nose. "I'm all ready for the City," she said.
Next stop, Jim and Teri's small apartment in New York and a return to shops that were hits on our last trip, e.g. American Girl for new doll outfits, Hershey and M&M in Times Square for treats, Toys R Us for a ride on the in-store Ferris wheel. Supper at Serendipity3 was just an excuse to order their gargantuan sundaes for dessert.
Next up, Amtrak to DC, with base camp at niece Beth's house in Alexandria, Virginia.
I would call Lily and Anna's first visit to their nation's capitol an unqualified success. Every day for three days, we took the Metro into DC and rode the "TourMobile" around town, jumping on and off to see the sights:
Day One: monuments.
most impressive, per Lily/Anna: Lincoln and Vietnam, tied.
Day Two: museums.
most interesting: Natural History and Spy, tied.
most moving: Holocaust, especially "Daniel's Story".
Day Three: Capitol Building and clean up (Mint, Union Station, Ford's Theater.
Mount Vernon took up most of Day Four. Lots of giggling and little sleep that last night with 11-year old cousin Maeve.
Final stop, Falmouth, Massachusetts. We flew to Providence, where dear old friend Kathy met us and drove us to her Cape Cod beach house for a lovely wind-down of days chasing wild bunnies in her garden, nights around her fire pit toasting marshmallows for s'mores.
These two trips have been special for the three of us. Two weeks away from parents and home is a long time in the life of a kid. The girls often thank me and reminisce about the things we saw and did. I like to think the experiences will be remembered for a lifetime.
I know I cherished the few occasions when I had my grandmother to myself. Most of the time, a dozen of us cousins descended on her Wisconsin lake house for weekend get-togethers, so nobody could be singled out from the herd. One time, though, I was allowed to sleep over. I spent the night in a bed in Grandma's attic, my pigtails buried in giant feather pillows. The next morning, she made us soft-boiled eggs and served them in yellow porcelain egg cups, along with toast that she placed on one of her good china plates. I felt grown up, special, as we tapped open our eggs and chatted in her breakfast nook. May my granddaughters' memories of me and our special times be as vivid and treasured.

This got me to thinking about products I wish were easier to find. I've been using Bonne Bell's famous blush gels since my younger years but can only seem to purchase them through the company directly at this point. What about you? Whether it's due to nostalgia, a bit of sensory memory, or some other reason altogether, which longtime beauty favorites of yours do you wish were easier to find?

David Letterman leaving in 2-3 years? BREAKING NEWS
Maybe I'm reading a little too much into this, but the way it was presented, I don't think so.
David Letterman had Albert Brooks on the show tonight, and Brooks announced that he was a littlte sad that this was Letterman's last week. It was just a joke to set up a take-off on Bette Midler's farewell song to Johnny Carson in the early 90s (Brooks sang "Thanks For The Memory" to Letterman), but Letterman said something interesting during the exchange. He said that he wasn't leaving this week, that he actually had "2 or 3 years left." That got my attention, and he repeated the same exact thing about 30 seconds or so later.
Now, one could say that this was just a piece of dialogue to play along with Brooks' satire, but I don't think so. Letterman said it in a very even tone and played the straight man in the exchange, giving real information to correct Brooks' mistake on the date of his departure.
This wouldn't be exactly "shocking" news, since it has been rumored that Letterman might be moving every time his contract is up for renewal. And with Leno leaving in 2009, Letterman might time his departure for the same time. I'm really curious to see what exactly Letterman meant by the "matter of fact" statement.

To dream about explosions represents a loss or something negative in business. You could also be burying feelings, especially deep anger, that should be dealt with before they destroy aspects of your life.
To dream that your face is blackened or mutilated by an explosion suggests that someone will charge you will false allegations and you will have to deal with them.
To dream that flames envelop you from an explosion indicates that companions who were not trustworthy will take advantage of you and your faith in them.
To dream about the sound of an explosion that you cannot see suggests that the difficulties you have faced in life will be replaced with peace after you have overcome obstacles.
To dream of ammunition could indicate that you are using influence and authority to convince others or keep safe. It can also mean that you are attempting to achieve your goals through devastating means.
Atomic Bomb
To dream of an explosion represents the liberation of negative and destructive feelings that were once hidden deep in the psyche. This eruption can become dangerous if no other proposed solution has proved to be successful. Seeing the explosion of an atomic bomb and its threat of radioactivity can be an indication of a sickness brought on by refusing to deal with these emotions of rage and ire.
To dream about something bursting is symbolic of anxiety and duress.
To dream about an eruption suggests that the emotions you have buried will smash forth. You could be dealing with drastic changes in your waking life.
To dream of a demolition suggests that an experience of complete deconstruction of a strongly held idea may be occurring in your waking life. Although there may be a sense of loss associated with a demolition dream, there is also the indication of rebirth. Be aware of what is being demolished, as this will give you an idea of how to approach the next step in your life.
Hand Grenade
To dream of a hand grenade indicates that you may be about to give someone some information that you have been guarding. Although you may feel that it is right to say what you know, you might need to examine your motives and the consequences should you tell. To be holding the hand grenade symbolizes a personal desire for drama and the ability to achieve it, but at a high cost.
To dream about an outbreak suggests that you feel overrun by stress. One small problem has spread all over your life.

Bayer Moves Closer to Commercializing Polyols from CO2 (with video)
8:11 AM MST | December 7, 2010 | Alex Scott in Leverkusen
Bayer Material Science (BMS) earlier today said it plans to begin commercial sale of polyols derived from CO2 within the next five years. Speaking in Leverkusen at Bayer's annual forum on innovation, the company says it considers the production of useful materials, such as polyols, for making polyurethane (PU) foams to be a major commercial opportunity. The production process is based on the use of a zinc catalyst. BMS would not divulge further the make up of the catalyst, which is the "holy grail" for using CO2 as a raw material, says...

3.D.9 The H+-translocating F420H2 Dehydrogenase (F420H2DH) Family
A single F420H2 dehydrogenase (also referred to as F420H2: quinol oxidoreductase) from the methanogenic archaeon, Methanosarcina mazei Gö1, has been shown to be a redox driven proton pump. Reduction of 2-hydroxyphenazine by F420H2DH is accompanied by the translocation of 1 H+ per 2 electrons transferred. The gene cluster encoding the F420H2DH includes 12 genes, fpoABCDHIJKLMNO. Several of the subunits are related to those of the mitochondrial "complex I" NDH family members (TC#3.D.1). Thus, the gene products, FpoA, H, J, K, L, M and N, are highly hydrophobic and are homologous to subunits that form the membrane integral module of NDH-1. FpoB, C, D and I have their counterparts in the amphipathic membrane-associated module of NDH-1. However, homologues of the hydrophilic NADH-oxidizing input are absent. Instead, FpoF probably catalyzes F420H2 oxidation, providing the input module for transferring electrons to the membrane module, while one or more subunits (the output module) may be adapted to the reduction of methanophenazine.
The F420H2DH of M. mazei has a molecular size of about 120 kDa and contains Fe-S clusters and FAD. A similar 5 subunit enzyme has been isolated from Methanolobus tindarius. The sulfate-reducing Archaeoglobus fulgidus (and several other archaea) also have this enzyme.
The overall vectorial reaction catalyzed by F420H2DH is:
Reduced donor (2e-) + 1H+ (in) oxidized acceptor (2e-) + 1H+ (out).
