Hierachically Nanostructured Mesoporous Spheres of Calcium Silicate Hydrate: Surfactant-Free Sonochemical Synthesis and Drug-Delivery System with Ultrahigh Drug-Loading Capacity
Ultrahigh drug-loading capacity and the linear relationship between the cumulative amount of released drug and the natural logarithm of release time were discovered for the hierachically nanostructured mesoporous spheres of calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) obtained by a surfactant-free sonochemical method (see figure). During the release of loaded ibuprofen in simulated body fluid, CSH gradually transformed to hydroxyapatite.

Survey shows that despite spending millions of dollars in Olympics sponsorships, brands are not being able to get through to consumers and create awareness, which defeats the purpose of the exercise.
July 29, 2012 2:30 by kippreport
What comes as a rude shock to Olympics sponsors is that not only are consumers unaware of their brands' association with the London Olympics 2012, but rival brands seem to have stolen the spotlight altogether.
In an online survey of 1,034 U.S. consumers last week, 37% of respondents identified Nike as an Olympic sponsor, and just 24% said, correctly, that Adidas is one. Thanks to a seemingly clever ambush marketing plan,
designed to steer public attention towards its global advertising campaign called ' Find Your Greatness' which coincided with the opening ceremony of the London Olympics.
The skew is a bit less alarming in the case of Coca Cola. While majority of the respondents cited the correct sponsor, a significant 28% incorrectly believed that Pepsi is a sponsor. It's unclear whether respondents understood that marketers pay for category exclusivity and so Coke and Pepsi, for instance, can't both be sponsors.
One of the most-cited brands was McDonald's, correctly named by 40% of respondents, but 19% of those surveyed believed Burger King is an Olympic sponsor. Respondents were then asked if that Olympic sponsorship makes them feel more positive about that brand. Interestingly, some of the highest response rates were for brands that aren't sponsors. 54% of respondents said Olympic sponsorship made them feel more positively about Nike while 52% said the same about Burger King and 48% about Pepsi. Talk about a plan backfired!
Another finding from the survey showed that 16% of respondents incorrectly identified Google as an Olympic sponsor. And 60% of those asked the second question about their feelings toward Olympic sponsors said that the sponsorship made them feel more positively about Google. Wonder if that has anything to do with the multicolored Google logo, which might have forged some kind of a confused recall for the public.
The bottom line is that the Olympic committee and official sponsors had better find a way to turn the game around soon, or the millions of dollars spent in sponsorship deals will have rival brands laughing all the way to the bank.
1 Comment
I assumed Google was an Olympic sponsor not because of the colour of their normal logo, but because they have _changed_ their homepage logo to incorporate Olympic imagery that changes daily. See: http://www.google.com/doodles/opening-ceremony-2012

Mmmm... Mary Jo once said that the 'Jupiter' thing is related to native code and C++, and the Windows Ribbon Framework already uses Xaml in native development, maybe we'll see a new WPF-like framework for C++ developers, finally replacing MFC, heheh. Hopefully we can find some good stuff in the Silverlight for Windows Embedded in WinEC7 maybe ?
but the first thing I want is Intellisense for C++/CLI which I am using in a daily basis. and except that, VS2010 is very lovely for C++ native coding now.
Mmmm.... I just saw a proposed session in the TechEd session preference survey with an interesting title:

We will explore what's new in the Framework for parallel programming in 4.5. Specifically, we'll dive into the new TPL Dataflow library and the various improvements around partitioning, cancellation, etc.
but, still no news about the native c++ version ?

Hi all,
First time post so go easy on me haha Im looking at getting either a zetec s or metal and firstly I'm not sure which one to get.
Secondly the car I have now, peugeot 206 (ooooo) I have replaced the head unit, door speakers and have a sub in the back. I was wondering if its worth going for the better stereo in the fiesta? Dont want to fork out £400 extra and end up ripping it out to put a aftermarket head unit in. Whats it like? And does anyone run a sub or speakers off of theirs? Not sure if its worth just keeping the basic one in their and then taking that out when I get it.
Any advice would be appreciated! Cheers

A few years ago, motor oil and specialty chemicals supplier Ashland (ASH) made a decision to get out of slow-growth businesses and move into areas that could produce better financial gains.
Those efforts continue to pay off for the company as evidenced by its strong sales and profit growth over the past couple of years and its upwardly mobile stock price.
In addition to motor oil and chemicals, Ashland supplies plastics, water treatment solutions and other products through four business segments: Ashland Specialty Ingredients, Ashland Water Technologies, Ashland Performance Materials and Ashland Consumer Markets.
View Enlarged Image
The company is probably best known as the maker of Valvoline Motor Oil and operator of Valvoline Instant Oil Change quick-lube franchises. Its history dates back nearly 90 years when it was founded as an oil refiner.
Ashland has spent much of the last few years diversifying into higher-growth specialty chemical and polymer businesses and divesting businesses tied to petroleum refining, coal mining and construction.
Buying Spree
"Ashland is a more focused company than before," noted Stephen O'Neil, an analyst at Hilliard Lyons. "Management may now concentrate on the core specialty chemical operations."
The company used buyouts to expand its presence in specialty chemicals. Last year, it spent $3.2 billion to acquire International Specialty Products, or ISP, which put Ashland into personal care products, pharmaceuticals, food and energy.
In 2008, Ashland spent $2.8 billion to buy Hercules, a supplier of specialty chemicals used to make paper and water treatment solutions.
Meanwhile, the company's divestitures include last year's sale of its low-margin chemical distribution unit for $979 million.
Ashland now operates in higher-margin segments and across a wider geographic footprint, O'Neil says. Before its Hercules buyout, Ashland only got 30% of its revenue from outside of North America and only 5% from Asian markets. Since the Hercules acquisition, those figures have risen to 47% and 13%, respectively.
"And the addition of ISP increases the percentage of international sales," O'Neil said.
The upshot is that Ashland has recorded two straight years of double-digit sales and earnings growth, the first time that's happened in at least a decade.
Meanwhile, the company's stock price has been trending higher for 3-1/2 years. Shares set an all-time high of 78.62 on Dec. 12 .
Ashland logged revenue of $8.2 billion in fiscal 2012, which ended in September. That was up 26% from the prior year. Earnings gained 85% to $6.63 a share.
Stock futures shoveled out deep losses ahead of Tuesday's open, as Europe's markets and oil prices fell sharply. Dow futures swooned 221.2 points below fair market value. Nasdaq 100 futures dropped 69 points. S&P 500 futures backed down 27.6 points. The stock market today appears set on a ...
ASHLAND (NYSE:ASH), a chemicals, plastics and lubricants distributor, reported fiscal Q1 EPS of $1.46, vs. $1.13 a year ago. Revenue slid 2.8% to $1.39 bil, missing. Shares rose 1.6% to 120.
While the U.S. took a day off for Thanksgiving, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries elected not to reduce its oil production quotas and to continue feeding the global oil glut. A week later, the group's top producer, Saudi Arabia, lowered its oil prices to U.S. customers for the ...
Will Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX) ever grow up and start acting like a mature company? If mature means slowing down, not apparently anytime soon. The specialty coffee retailer began opening stores in earnest in 1987 and now boasts roughly 23,000 stores in 68 countries. It plans to keep opening more ...
Retailers posted September same-store sales gains Thursday that inched past analysts' views, as consumers stepped up spending at the end of the back-to-school season. Sales at stores that were open for at least a year rose 0.8% from a year earlier, said Ken Perkins, president of Retail Metrics. ...

It's a safe bet that Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank won't ever be accused of aiming too low. At a recent investor day for the athletic apparel maker, Plank set a revenue target of $7.5 billion for 2018. That's more than twice as much as the company's sales last year and nearly double what it is ...

If you are going to fork out $100 million on a boat, then it's only right that the America's Cup should be an impressive trophy to put on the mantelpiece.

After the Yanks won the first one in 1851, they have never even renamed it when another country has won it.

Hi guys! I'm looking at 2 used bikes on my local Craigslist. One is a 2005 Cannondale F600 and the other is an 07 Cannondale F4. Links:
f4: CANNONDALE F4 MT.BIKE
f600: Cannondale 28" F600 mountain bike
The f4 is $175 more expensive but the f600 looks like it may need a little head shock work and a chain (+ tune up etc, probably).
From my research it appears the F600 is a better overall bike package. What should I do? I used to have a Cannondale that I loved which is one of the reasons I have narrowed it down to these bikes.

Winter Sky
Winter Sky
Listening Library, Compact Disc, 9780804121408
Publication Date: January 7, 2014
Sirens Ascary sound, especially to Siria, whose brave pop is a firefighter. Siria loves everyone at Pop's city firehouse. She also loves to study the stars. Her mother named her after the brightest start in the winter sky.
When Siria hears sirens, she sneaks out to chase the trucks, to bring Pop and the other firefighters luck. She'd be in big trouble if she ever got caught. Good thing her best friend, Douglas, is always by her side.
As Christmas approaches, Siria suspects that someone in the neighborhood is setting fires. She has to find out who's doing it. When clues point to a surprising suspect, she realizes that solving this mystery will take all kinds of courage.
Patricia Reilly Giff, the author of many beloved and award-winning books, is at her best in this action-packed story. In "Winter Sky, " friends, family, and a very special dog help Siria see how brave she really is.
"From the Hardcover edition.

By a staff reporter
Linc Energy Ltd shares have been placed in a trading halt as the company prepares to update the market on a proposed capital raising.
In a statement to the Australian Securities Exchange, Linc requested the halt remain in place until the commencement of trade on April 2 or the release of announcement to the market.
Media reports suggest Linc is set to announce a capital raising of between $200 million and $250 million through convertible bonds.
Linc, which is involved in the development and commercialisation of coal to liquid fuel, has recently experienced a surge in its share price.
Late last year the Australian Stock Exchange asked Linc to explain a spike in the company's share price between December 7 and December 11, 2012.
Brisbane-based Linc said it was not aware of any explanation for the price change.
It followed speculation that Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich is interested in the company.
On November 29 last year Linc advised the market of further progress in the commercialisation of its Clean Energy technology in sub-Saharan Africa and Ukraine.
Since then Linc's shares have risen from 70 cents to $2.67 it last traded at

I dig both ways, Right hand on top, left hand on the spade shaft and left foot on blade when I dig from right to left. Then , when I reach the end of the row I reverse everything and dig back the way I came.
looks like a robin nest to me and the location would be about right. It does feel a bit early but they pair up around Christmas time and I think they are nesting late march. They can be a bit flighty when the eggs are newly laid and easily desert. (technically it is illegal to destroy the nest or eggs at this time of year whether abandoned or not so all you can really do is leave it )
Thanks for your thoughts, I shall give it a go later in the month and see what happens. I'm hoping that I shall get some decent sized plants, in the colours I want, in good time for planting out in the autumn.
I have some bog standard wallflowers in my garden which are now two years old and starting to flower again. My question is, if I take cuttings from the ones I like, will they make decent sized flowering plants by next spring?
If anyone has experience of this I'd be pleased to know how it went.
What is this trend for raised beds? I suspect it is encouraged by garden centres and online retailers to get us to buy overly priced, ready made, deep bed kits.
What I find important for growing veg, is good, well prepared, fertile soil. If there is a depth of soil so much the better, and if you arrange your plot into narrow beds so that you can access from the sides without treading the soil, well then you have just created deep beds.
A deep bed doesn't need edging, it just needs a good depth of untrodden soil, but without an edge it tends to spread about and loose definition, so I would recommend a low edging, just to define the area, keep the soil from the paths, makes it look tidy, and help the soil at the edges stay moist.
If edging is your thing, then 1" x 6" treated timber from the timber merchant is probably as cheap an option as any. (untreated timber if you don't like the idea of chemicals near your edibles) Drive stakes into the corners. attach the boards, and then dig the plot deeply adding whatever rotted organic material you can and hey presto, a deep bed. Simple and cheap.
Sorry if this has become a bit of a rambling rant, but I work in a wood yard, and every year we see more and more gardeners, especially newbies, who believe that veg only grows in raised beds. When I discuss their needs and in particular how they are going to fill them, it is almost always apparent that this hasn't been considered or budgeted for. If you have to buy in a lot of topsoil and compost on top of the cost of the timber or ready made kit, then it makes for some hellishly expensive vegetables.
Rant over..
Good growing and good eating.
A swarm of ladybirds (or bishy barnabies as we call them in Norfolk ) which occurred by the coast a few years ago. Theory was that these were immigrants flying in from Europe, but latest thinking seems to be that they a British insects, looking for new food sources, becoming trapped against the sea.
Another option might be deep secret, a well scented ht.
(I don't think that it is etoile de hollande as that has a drooping flower )
I am sure that they are not Hawthorn shieldbugs and believe that they are most likely to be Coreus marginatus, the Dock Bug. I don't think they will do a lot of harm.
The soil is warm and they moist autumn days are upon us. I would sow seed, but then I am a cheapskate. seriously though it is a good time to be sowing seed.
My small garden plays host to a silver birch, two hollies an elder and a mountain ash.
I didn't plant any of them.
If I had the room, I would let the oaks that the jays plant in my lawn grow as well.

I apologize for being hibernated from this blog. College life has taken me into its lair. My brain had to work with it for several months. It's crazy. Overly crazy.
But, there were times in college that made me smile and so happy. I think my friends are the best gift in this year, especially this semester. They made me strong and knew that I'm not alone. I think our bonds became stronger. Now, I realize that I should cherish them. I used to hate my college. But now, I realize that I should enjoy my college life no matter what. I learned so many things, not just academic, but life lessons too.
And here... I finally have my holiday! Wooooh yeay! Oh it taste so good. I can roll and roll again on my bed.
Oh yeah, of course I will do diys for you! I miss it so much. I can't wait to do it and share it with you.
For 2014, I hope I can be more mature than now. From the inside, not the outside. Hihi X).
So, let's celebrate and be grateful for this year (no matter what)! Don't forget to pray for 2014 too!
Imagine your best day for the future!
Let's do some fun!
Happy new year everybody!
Extra peace and cheese,

Look younger. Live longer. That's the promise hyped by sellers of countless products and procedures. But like Dorothy who visited the Land of Oz, you already hold the key within.
When I first noticed my own signs of aging, I became eager to learn how to maintain my energy and health. I wanted to age well. Two graduate degrees later, I have separated anti-aging myths from scientific evidence and was thrilled to learn each of us has the power to influence the way we age.
Our attitudes and thoughts have a greater impact on how well and how long we live than smoking cigarettes or genetics. Research supports a long-established philosophy that if you change your thoughts you change your life. You can take charge of how you age by taking charge of how you think.
It starts by refusing to conform to arbitrary restrictions tied to your birth year. Don't squeeze yourself into social expectations. Release artificial limits on what you can do. Stop identifying with a number—that's for prisoners.
The Spanish language suggests a way out. Instead of saying "I am sixty years old," they say "Tengo sesenta años" which literally translates to "I have 60 years." I have rather than I am—an important distinction.
Someone once said, "Age is just a number. Mine is unlisted." Free yourself from unnecessary constraints. Harness the power of your mind to make the rest of your life the best of your life. The possibilities are endless.
Check out my blog below. See my new Thrive topics. When you're ready to hold on to your self-confidence, sanity, and sense of humor as you age, you're just a click away!

Why? Because you can! And pickle, and jam, or otherwise celebrate the resurgence of the domestic arts our forebears held so dear. Put on your best apron and step into our kitchen, won't you?
Rhubarb Syrup: ginger and rhubarb syrup ready for a fab breakfast or an amazing cocktail
This bright, tart, and slightly spicy jam will be a fine addition to roasted pork tenderloin or slathered on English muffins.
Rhubarb and ginger curd, sweet, tart, smooth and just a little bit hot!
The recipe calls for fennel bulb (not seeds, although we do add classic spices– caraway seeds and juniper berries) to provide a slightly sweet counterpoint to the sourness, and fresh ginger gives it a boost of fresh flavor.
The addition of horseradish and fresh ginger provides a tangy twist on the traditional Bread & Butter pickle.
This cheerful apple ginger orange marmalade has a beautiful golden glow and a warm, comforting taste. It makes a wonderful accompaniment to any breakfast fare, and it makes a lovely gift as well.
This recipe is modified from a number of carrot chutney recipes and was inspired by carrot ginger soup (with some thyme and a touch of a cayenne kick!).
A flavorful, homemade cranberry sauce using whole, fresh cranberries from Wisconsin
Hot, pungent, sour, and sweet, fire cider can be used in so many ways — from cold cure to cooking to cocktails.
Completely addictive and obsession inducing, this quick to make tangy dressing will make you want to eat salad after salad after salad...

The flavour of these talks is heightened by the fact that Mr Gaitonde, being well-versed with Marathi, the language Maharaj spoke, is able to convey all the subtle nuances of Maharajs potent words of wisdom.
There are worlds of healing, protection, and insight available to you just beyond ordinary reality. The knowledge to simply, powerfully journey to these worlds, to connect with your spirit guides, to build a vision of yourself as healthy, intuitive and psychically alive, is within this book. Whether you are just beginning to seek a truer and more meaningful existence, or you are an experienced traveler of worlds, this book provides a reliable, straightforward, friendly and practical guide to basic shamanic practices, including more advanced instruction in past life healing, shadow work, and soul retrieval.
The first book written about Mongolian and Siberian shamanism by a shaman trained in that tradition.
- A thorough introduction to Mongolian and Siberian shamanic beliefs and practices, which, until the collapse of the Soviet Union, were banned from being practiced.
- Includes rituals for healing and divination techniques.
In traditional Mongolian-Buryat culture, shamans play an important role maintaining the tegsh, the "balance" of the community. They counsel a path of moderation in one's actions and reverence for the natural world, which they view as mother to humanity. Mongolians believe that if natural resources are taken without thanking the spirits for what they have given, those resources will not be replaced. Unlike many other cultures whose shamanic traditions were undermined by modern civilization, shamans in the remote areas of southern Siberia and Mongolia are still the guardians of the environment, the community, and the natural order.
"Riding Windhorses" is the first book written on Mongolian and Siberian shamanism by a shaman trained in that tradition. A thorough introduction to Mongolian/Siberian shamanic beliefs and practices, it includes working knowledge of the basic rituals and various healing and divination techniques. Many of the rituals and beliefs described here have never been published and are the direct teachings of the author's own shaman mentors.
The shamanic journey is a practice common to all indigenous societies throughout history. By listening to a drumbeat or other rhythmic percussion, the shaman enters "non-ordinary" reality an altered state of consciousness beyond time and space to access spiritual guidance and healing, assist others and the planet, and reconnect with the cycles of nature. Shamanic Journeying offers readers an interactive learning experience to discover how to journey just as traditional shamans have for centuries. With the instruction in this book and the accompanying CD, internationally respected teacher Sandra Ingerman illuminates:
The original role of the shaman in indigenous cultures
How to meet and work with your "power animals" and other spirit guides
How to navigate the Lower World, Upper World, and Middle World the three divisions of unseen reality
The keys to successful journeying in our modern culture.

Rozeta sports a clean and straightforward layout that allows users to create a new rose diagram by settings the graph size, and selecting the colors for the main and secondary lines, as well as filling colors and styles.
What's more, you can manually configure the coordinates, customize the text messages in terms of font and size, as well as check out a log for possible errors.
The application gives users the possibility to import data from ROZ, TXT, or DAT file format, view azimuth data, switch to a full screen mode, and select between several preset rose diagrams.
The generated diagram can be copied to the Clipboard, exported to WMF or HTML file format, or printed.
During our testing we have noticed that Rozeta carries out a task quickly, provides very good image quality, and no errors showed up throughout the entire process. As it would be expected from such a small utility, it remains light on the system resources, so it doesn't hamper computer performance, nor interfere with other programs' functionality.
To sum things up, Rozeta comes packed with limited features for helping you design rose diagrams.

My SRC | Student Email | Canvas | Help
The SRC Drama Program has an academic curriculum that includes acting courses as well as drama-oriented classes for humanities and fine-arts credit. Each academic year, student-centered performance opportunities are available with planned productions in both fall and spring semesters. The Drama Program offers performing grants (scholarships) to recognize and reward the work of talented students.
Spoon River College's Department of Drama & Theatre has announced its season for 2015-16. In the second year of the revived program, the theatre will continue the fall "Hour Classics" series launched in 2014, this time with a sixty-minute version of William Shakespeare's comedy The Taming of the Shrew. In this battle-of-the-sexes romp, bachelor Petruchio is in line for some serious cash if he can get Katharina to fall in love with him and submit to his will. The Taming of the Shrew will run November 13-15.
Up for spring 2016 is the contemporary comic drama Lonely, I'm Not by Paul Weitz, best known for directing the 2002 film About a Boy. Lonely, I'm Not, first produced in New York in 2012, is the adult story of Porter, an emotionally fragile former "Wall Street ninja" and his off-beat courtship of Heather, a successful businesswoman who also happens to be blind. Look for Lonely, I'm Not March 4-6.
Also new for 2015-16 is the student organization STAGE: SRC Theatre Artists Group for Education. The group will have as its advisor SRC drama and English instructor Douglas Okey. STAGE will provide support and awareness for the program as well as a pool of interested and talented students to participate in theatre productions.
The SRC Drama Program has produced graduates who have gone onto careers in performance, including TV and film actor David Pires and, most recently, New York stage performer Kyle Motsinger. A student from the 1990s, Jacob Welch, is a theatre professor and award-winning lighting designer.
In the years since founding director Bob Gorg retired in 2008, the program has undergone various transitions. Most recently, in the 2013-14 academic year, the program had been in hiatus for the purpose of rebuilding. During that year, our "black-box" theatre production space was extensively renovated and updated through the expert consultation of SRC graduate Jacob Welch.
For more information about upcoming productions and opportunities in the SRC Drama Program, contact Douglas Okey at 309-649-6308 or email@example.com.
Theatre Production Auditions will be held in the Drama Theatre, Taylor Hall 209, Canton Campus, Sept 9 & 10 at 4:00 - 6:00 pm . Auditions for the fall production, Shakespeare's classic comedy The Taming of the Shrew. To access audition scenes, click here.

Moera (the manager of the world, handling social matters of right and reason, and answerable to no deity) was having a rough day
Moera (the manager of the world, handling social matters of right and reason, and answerable to no deity) was having a rough day. For the first time in eternity she actually took an evening off…she had a date with a human…and chaos erupts. She had left Fate in charge for the night. She really should have known better than to trust her.
Fate had created a prophecy several weeks ago, and dispatched it using one of her lesser oracles, and, despite Moera's commands, had shifted the balance of good and evil.
Moera did not intend for that particular prophecy to begin it's fulfillment for many years.
Fate allowed two people to die before their time. That one mistake could cause evil to reign forever. Fate had always been impulsive; after all, her twin brother was Chance. She had acted without looking to the future to see what her actions could cause.
Moera paced back and forth watching the man who would shape the future of all…Albus Dumbledore.
Albus Dumbledore had a migraine. He had just been to Godric's Hollow, which was in ruins. How Harry had survived not only the killing curse, but the house collapsing was a miracle.
Harry had always been unusually powerful. Most witches and wizards didn't start to show signs of magic until they were three, but Harry had been using his from the time he was three months old. He would often summon things he wanted, and cause glass to explode when he was upset. Still…babies were not often capable of the level of magic Harry had shown.
Now the only question was, 'Where will Harry live?' As his godfather was about to go to prison for the betrayal of his parents, there was only two options left. One: Harry could go to live with his mother's sister's family, muggles. Or Two: He could go to live with his nearest Potter relation, Aurora Prewitt Diggory. Harry's grandfather had a sister, and Aurora was her daughter.
Dumbledore had in fact called a meeting with the two people that he trusted above all others. Minerva McGonagall was his best friend, and the love of his life (not that he ever told her that). Severus Snape, out of fear for his best friend's life, had turned to the Light, making an Unbreakable Vow of loyalty to Dumbledore. These two people would help Dumbledore decide the fate of the boy-who-lived.
Knock Knock
"Come in Minerva."
"Hmph," the slender black-haired witch said, "It drives me mental when you do that."
"Ah, well…it is a talent…Lemon Drop?" the Headmaster said, his eyes twinkling.
"No, thank-you," she said primly. She conjured a wooden straight-backed chair, and sat down. "Will anyone else be here for this discussion?"
"Yes, Severus should be arriving momentarily." Just then the fire turned green, and out stepped a tall black-haired, hook-nosed man.
"Albus…Minerva," he said, nodding his head in greeting.
"Severus," Albus said, "Please be seated, we have a lot to discuss. We are here to discuss where Harry should be placed…with his mother's muggle sister, or with his father's cousin, Aurora Diggory. I am worried that, if he were to be raised in the magical world, all of the attention would go to his head. Because of this, I am leaning toward sending him to his muggle aunt. What do you think?"
Severus sneered and answered, "That sounds best to me. The last thing the world needs is another arrogant Potter."
"You can't be serious?" Minerva said, "Lily told me all about her sister. Harry will be neglected at best, but more likely abused by her."
"Now, now, Minerva, I really don't think that she would be capable of harming her own nephew," Albus said, with a twinkle in his eyes that clearly said, 'I know better than you.'
"Well…If your sure…," she said.
"It's decided. Harry shall live in the muggle world."
Moera stopped pacing and glared at the image of Dumbledore. That decision could only have bad results.
She turned to look into the pool of 'What Will Be' that was continuously changing. What she saw terrified her.
She had to do something. She called a meeting with Athena (goddess of wisdom and war), Nike (goddess of victory), Eros (god of love), and Anteros (god of reciprocated love).
Moera looked around the room gazing into the eyes of each person. "Friends, we are meeting here to discuss the future of Harry Potter. The mortals in charge of his life are going to send him to his mother's family. If you will all look into the pool, you will see why this is a terrible decision. We must convince them to send him to Aurora Diggory."
Athena was the first to speak. "Nike, you determine victory, do you think we should interfere?"
"We should. If we do not, Eros and Anteros will die. Should Riddle win, there will be no love left."
The men looked at each other, and said in unison, "We agree with Nike."
"So be it," Athena said. "I will give you the means to change their decision, Moera. I will send to you, from past and future, those who can change this decision. May your task have the desired results, My Friend."
As the three professors stood up to leave, there was a blinding white flash of light. They were now standing in a large marble room that had columns in a circle around the edges. A large circular table sat in the very center of the room.
A tall slender woman stood behind one of the chairs at the table. Her blonde curls were piled on her head, and she looked both very old and very young. "Please be seated. My name is Moera. I am here because of Fate. She made a mistake, but you are about to make a worse one. Heed all that shall occur here or Darkness will win."
Minerva and Severus looked at Albus, determined to follow his lead.
"Moera, we will be honored to hear what you have to say," Dumbledore said.
The three professors sat at the table.
Five years previously…
Four boys were walking from transfiguration to the Great Hall and talking. Their names were Sirius Black, James Potter, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew.
"Oy, James, lets play a prank on Snivellus," Sirius said, practically bouncing in excitement.
"No, Sirius," James said exasperated. "Lily only just agreed to go out with me, and you know how she feels about us pranking him. Besides, he hasn't done anything to warrant it."
Lily Evans had been walking, unnoticed, about five feet behind them. Her face lit up when she heard James' response. She hurried up to him, and kissed him on the cheek, saying, "I am so proud of you, James."
A moment later, there was a bright white flash of light, and three of the boys and Lily were gone.
Peter looked around in confusion, scratching his head. "Why am I always left behind," he moaned.
Fourteen and a half years after the professors were taken…
Six friends were sharing a compartment on the Hogwarts Express. As the train pulled out of the station to go to London, there was a brilliant flash of light and they disappeared.
Meanwhile, two cars down, a slender aristocratic blonde-haired boy was enjoying his final few hours of freedom before going home for the summer. He had managed to get a compartment to himself by complaining of a migraine. One flash of light later, and he was gone.
Back in the marble room…
Three boys and a girl appeared out of thin air.
Lily Evans looked at the table and screamed. She jumped into James Potter's arms in fright. "Severus is there…table…older…bloody hell."
At her words, the three boys looked at the other people in the room.
"Bloody hell is right," Sirius muttered under his breath.
Remus decided to find out what was going on. Sirius was in shock, and James was trying to calm Lily down. "Err…Professor Dumbledore, what is going on?"
"Ah, yes…this lady is Moera. Apparently Fate made a mistake, and we have been brought here to change what could be a terrible future," Dumbledore said, his eyes twinkling.
"Ooookaaaay…," James said. He led the group to the table, and pulled out a chair for Lily before sitting down next to her.
Just as they had all been seated, seven people appeared.
The blonde boy looked at the other six people with him. "Potter! What the bloody hell did you do!?"
The boy with the messy black hair turned to face him, "Malfoy, what makes you think that I did this? I don't go looking for weird stuff to happen around or to me. I am just as confused as you are."
The blonde girl stepped between the two boys and said, "Calm down, boys. I think you are both letting the blue-nosed flutters get to you."
"The what!?" Malfoy said angrily.
"Don't ask," Harry said then, turning to Luna, said, "Thanks, Luna. I really shouldn't let them affect me."
She beamed up at him.
Harry looked at the table and said, "Well hell just froze over. Severus Snape is sitting at the same table as Sirius Black, and nobody has been murdered yet."
Moera laughed. "Please sit down everyone. We have much to discuss."
Remus asked what all of the Marauders were wondering, "Erm…why did none of you ask what you're doing here?"
Harry answered for all of them. "What's the point? I mean, weird events happen to me all the time; this is actually quite tame for my life. This is nothing compared to the year of the Cerberos and the baby dragon."
"Or the year of the diary of doom," Ginny said.
"Let's not forget the year of the Azkaban escapee," Hermione added.
Ron then joined in with, "Or the year of Moldyshort's return."
Harry finished by saying, "And lastly the year of sharing Riddle's mind." He shuddered.
Moera decided that it was time to get on with why they were there. "Why don't we start by introducing ourselves, and saying a fact about who we are. I am Moera; I manage the world, handling social matters of right and reason."
"I am Severus Snape: ex-Death Eater, current spy for the Light, and Potions professor at Hogwarts," Severus sneered.
"Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts, and I like Lemon Drops."
A bowl of Lemon Drops appeared in front of him. He popped one into his mouth and hummed a little in enjoyment.
"Minerva McGonagall, Deputy Headmistress of Hogwarts, I am also a cat animagus."
Lily smiled brightly and said, "My name is Lily Evans."
Harry's eyes went wide.
Lily continued, "I am good at charms and potions, and I am Head Girl."
"James Potter, otherwise known as Prongs, Head Boy, and my Lily-flower agreed to go on our first date this weekend." James grinned goofily.
Sirius grinned and said, "Padfoot, otherwise known as Sirius Orion Black, and I am the first Black ever to be sorted into Gryffindor."
"I am Remus John Lupin, prefect, and…erm…I'm known as Moony."
Harry looked at Remus and said, "We all already know about your furry little problem and don't care…well…except for Malfoy."
Remus smiled at him.
Harry then said, "I'm Harry James Potter, son of Lily Evans and James Potter." There were gasps from the seventeen year olds. "I am UNFORTUNATELY known as the boy-who-lived, and all I want is to be just Harry." He looked depressed.
Lily struggled to keep from crying at how sad her son looked. She had no doubts that that was her and James' baby boy.
Ginny hugged Harry, who muttered 'thanks, Gin'.
"I'm Ginny Weasley, I have six older brothers, and Harry saved my life in my first year at Hogwarts." She smiled softly.
Hermione practically bounced as she introduced herself. "Hermione Granger, muggle-born, and I'm best friends with Harry and Ron…oh, and contrary to popular opinion," she glared at Ron, "I am, in fact, a GIRL."
Ron cowered under her glare. "Erm, I am Ron Weasley, Ginny's my little sister, and I will never trust any boys but Harry with her."
"Thanks, Ron," Harry said, "So, Ginny, willyougooutwithmewhenwegethome?"
"What?" Ginny asked, not understanding him.
Harry blushed, "I…erm…said, 'Ginny, will you go out with me when we get home?"
"Yes!!" the red-haired girl squealed, throwing her arms around his neck, and kissing him on the cheek.
Harry grinned goofily.
Severus scowled and asked, "What is with Potters and red-heads?"
"Eros placed a charm on the Potter males so that they will only ever love red-heads," Moera said.
"That'll do it," Snape muttered.
"Let us continue," Moera said.
Neville, blushed, saying, "I'm Neville Longbottom, son of Alice and Frank. I was raised by my Gran after my parents were tortured to insanity by Death Eaters."
"I am Luna Lovegood, and I aspire to meet aliens from another planet."
Everyone could hear crickets chirping, it was that quiet.
Draco rolled his eyes and said, "Draco Malfoy, Severus is my godfather, and I hate my dad."
More crickets.
"You said!"
"No you said!"
They were identical voices.
Laughter could be heard as the two voices continued to argue. An archway appeared on one of the walls, and man entered carrying two teenagers by the back of their robes. The man continued laughing as he dropped them on the floor near the table.
As he turned to leave, Moera said, "Thank you, Hermes." He just waved in response. As soon as he passed under the arch it disappeared.
The two boys picked themselves up dusting off their robes.
Cries of "Fred, George!!" came from half of the table.
"Hello, All..."
"So, what did we miss?"
Moera laughed, "Just introductions." Two more chairs appeared in between Neville and Luna.
The two sat down, and everyone reintroduced themselves. When they got to Fred, he turned toward Harry. "Oy, Harry, didja forget to mention something to us?"
Harry turned red, "No, you just never asked me if I knew who the Marauders were." Harry noticed the puzzled looks on the Marauders' faces and told them. "Gred and Forge here were the ones to give me the Marauders Map."
"Why didn't I give it to you?" James asked, puzzled.
"You didn't have it. It was marauded from Filch's file cabinet in the twin's first year."
"Ah, that would do it."
"Anyway…," Fred drawled, "I'm Fred Weasley, one half of the infamous prankster team of Weasley and Weasley. We have started a joke shop, and all thanks go to our anonymous investor."
"I'm George, and everything Fred said applies to me as well. Oh, and by the way Harry, thanks for investing in our joke shop.
Harry groaned, and buried his head in his hands. Hermione was crying out 'how could you', and Lily yelling 'Oh Merlin, he's just like his father, isn't he'. Minerva and Severus were both yelling 'NO!!' at the top of their lungs.
Moera stood and said, "It's time to get down to business."

I am currently trying to do miRNA profiling with real time qPCR as published by Chen et al., 2005, Nucleic acid.
I use total RNA isolated with trizol reagent from PBMC from donor blood. For the cDNA synthesis I use the stemloop method with a stemloop specific for all the miRNA's I want to studie, and the MuLV revers tranferase.
for the qPCR I use SYBR green and a miRNA specifik forward primer and a revers primer that attached to the stemloop.
My samples have a Ct of 20-24, but my problem is that my NTC come up around ct 30, and that my NRC come up around ct 21. So I can't seem to get a negativ samples.
Has anyone experienced this before?
I also tryed with synthetic tamplate = the sequence of the mature miRNA on DNA, and the same happens here. Dose anyone know if the app. Bioscinece MuLV revers tranferase can work on DNA as well as on RNA?
because that could be what i happing with the synthetic templates/miRNA's.
Thank for you help, in advanced...
