Fuel Cell Stocks: Plug Power (Nasdaq:PLUG) Announces Additional Site for Procter & Gamble
Fuel Cells Now Powering Lift Trucks at Four P&G Manufacturing Facilities
Category: Investment, Renewable Energy
News about Plug Power Inc.
LATHAM, N.Y. - November 29, 2012 (Investorideas.com renewable energy newswire) Plug Power Inc. (Nasdaq:PLUG), a leader in providing clean, reliable energy solutions, today announced that Procter & Gamble Co., (NYSE:PG) has selected its GenDrive(R) fuel cell products to power its electric lift truck fleet in its manufacturing facility located in Mehoopany, PA. This additional facility now brings to four the number of sites converting to GenDrive fuel cells. Over 340 units will now be deployed throughout Procter & Gamble's manufacturing infrastructure. Additional P&G sites using green fuel cell technology include facilities in California, North Carolina and Louisiana.
Unlike the incumbent technology, GenDrive is powered by hydrogen, ensuring constant voltage to the truck and has a fueling cycle that takes just minutes. Lead-acid batteries need to be changed, charged, stored and maintained, a process that is timely and involves costly infrastructure. Since GenDrive is powered by hydrogen, an emerging clean-energy fuel, it is estimated that greenhouse gas emissions are reduced by more than 60 percent.
"Plug Power's GenDrive product is delivering increased fleet productivity, decreased facility operating costs and reduced greenhouse gas emissions at customer sites throughout North America," said Andy Marsh, CEO at Plug Power. "P&G is one of six Fortune 100 companies to convert multiple facilities to GenDrive fuel cells. With this fourth site conversion, P&G will lessen its environmental impact while realizing increased productivity, reduced operating costs and better predictability of its fleet performance."
About Plug Power Inc.
The architects of modern fuel cell technology, Plug Power is revolutionizing the industry with cost-effective power solutions that increase productivity, lower operating costs and reduce carbon footprints. Long-standing relationships with industry leaders forged the path for Plug Power's key accounts, including Walmart, Sysco, P&G and Mercedes. With more than 3,000 GenDrive units deployed to material handling customers, accumulating over 8.5 million hours of runtime, Plug Power manufactures tomorrow's incumbent power solutions today.

GOP majorities lay out tax cuts, less spending in budget
by Tom Scheck, Minnesota Public Radio March 11, 2011
St. Paul, Minn. — The public got its first glimpse Thursday at how the new Republican majorities in the House and Senate intend to erase Minnesota's $5 billion projected budget deficit.
For months, Republicans have said that they can balance the budget by spending only as much as the state is already collecting in revenue, and they intend to take in even less.
The Senate budget outline includes $200 million in tax cuts for businesses. House Republicans want to cut $300 million in income taxes on low and middle class Minnesotans. Republican House Majority Leader Matt Dean, of Dellwood, said GOP legislators will rally behind the plans.
"I think we have strong caucus support both in the House and Senate," Dean said. "We have one plan that's before us that's realistic so we're moving ahead."
But the level of cuts included in the plan may give some heartburn to some who have to vote for the package.
The House and Senate are both proposing to cut more than $1.5 billion in projected growth in health and human services programs.
They also want to cut hundreds of millions of dollars in state agency spending and nearly a billion dollars in aids and credits to local governments.
Legislative leaders were reluctant to go into detail about the cuts. They say the respective committee chairs will release specifics over the next few weeks.
Senate Minority Leader Tom Bakk, DFL-Cook, said the public should be concerned about those details.
"It's very easy to put a budget together on a spreadsheet. They are just lines and numbers. That's easy," he said. "But there's real impacts to real people when you actually get down to the language and all of the line-item appropriations."

Percutaneous Cryoablation for Kidney Cancer
New York (Apr 15, 2009)
Surgical removal of the kidney has long been a standard treatment for renal cancers. Today NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital clinicians are able to use minimally invasive ablative treatments to freeze some small kidney cancers without incisions through a procedure called percutaneous cryoablation.
How Percutaneous Cryoablation Works
The freezing of tumors – a therapy which has been used for lung, liver, and prostate cancers – is also particularly well suited for certain renal cell carcinomas. Relying on CT, MRI, or ultrasound guidance, a urologist and an interventional radiologist work together to insert several 1.5 mm ablation needles through the patient's skin into the kidney tumor. Once the needles are in place, the cryoablation machine delivers temperatures of -140 degrees C or lower until the entire tumor and surrounding margins are frozen.
The surgeon and radiologist initiate several freeze/thaw cycles until they are confident tumor cells have been killed. "The CT scanner can be used to actively monitor the development of the ablative ice ball to precisely control the destruction of the tumor," explained Jaime Landman, MD. The procedure typically takes just 45 minutes and can be done without general anesthesia.
Over time, the tumor tissue scars down and eventually disappears. "The truly revolutionary aspect of this treatment is the realization that we don't have to remove cancer tissue surgically, which shatters centuries of medical and surgical tradition," Dr. Landman added.
Benefits of Percutaneous Ablation
Percutaneous ablation offers several benefits. The patient receives only mild sedation and a local anesthetic where the needles are inserted, so there is no risk of side effects from general anesthesia. Also, no Foley catheter is required. The surgeon does not have to clamp the renal artery to temporarily cut off the blood supply, leaving kidney function intact. Usually no more than an overnight hospital stay is required, and patients can return to their normal activities sooner than they would following conventional surgery or even other forms of minimally invasive surgery.
Selecting Candidates for Percutaneous Cryoablation
But not everyone is a candidate for percutaneous cryoablation. The patient's age and tumor size and location all play a role, among other factors. According to Joseph Del Pizzo, MD, the procedure is best suited for older patients with posterior renal masses less than 3 cm in diameter that are not located too close to the main blood supply or urine-producing cells of the kidney.
"We are just starting to receive long-term outcomes data on patients who have had this procedure, so I don't usually recommend it for patients who may still have 25 or 30 years of life ahead of them," he noted. Younger patients, those with larger tumors, and those with tumors in close proximity to vital structures may be best served by laparoscopy or open abdominal surgery, as indicated. All options are available at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital.
"During percutaneous ablation, we move body structures around like we do during open or laparoscopic surgery," added Dr. Landman. "If the tumor isn't near an important anatomic structure, we can freeze it and not harm anything. Cryoablation is a remarkably kind and gentle therapy."
Some patients have small renal masses that are not positioned optimally for percutaneous cryoablation. These patients may be eligible for laparoscopic-assisted cryoablation, which utilizes the same principles as the percutaneous approach, but requires laparoscopic access to mobilize structures around the kidney prior to ablating the tumor with cryoablation.
Future of Percutaneous Cryoablation
"I think the next generation of doctors will be doing more ablative technologies," said Dr. Del Pizzo. "We're seeing more and more patients whose renal tumors are being detected early when they are having computed tomography (CT or CAT) scans for something else. Many of these patients are elderly and they may be candidates for these less invasive procedures."
"Percutaneous cryoablation is made possible by the marriage of two different technologies, imaging and cryoablation – neither of which is brand new," concluded Dr. Landman. "But by combining them, we can do a minimally invasive procedure in a way we've never done before."
Percutaneous Cryoablation at Two Locations
Percutaneous cryoablation for kidney cancer is offered at both the Columbia University Medical Center and Weill Cornell Medical Center campuses of NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital.
You can view a video of percutaneous cryoablation.

Marina police and the FBI responded Tuesday morning to a robbery at Rabobank on the 200 block of Reservation Road, said Peter Lee, of the FBI.
At 9 a.m., a man decked out in a black ski mask, black hooded sweatshirt and black gloves took over Rabobank with a gun, Lee said. Marina police Cmdr. Robert Nolan confirmed the suspect made off with an unknown amount in cash.
The man left in a white colored pick-up truck before abandoning the vehicle in the driveway of a nearby apartment complex. He he then ran away, police said.
The Marina Police Department requested and received assistance from the Monterey County Sheriff's Office and California Highway Patrol in an attempt to locate the robber. The CHP provided a K-9 search team and a helicopter in an attempt to to find the robber, Nolan said.
No one was injured in the robbery, Nolan said. He praised Rabobank employees for their response under pressure.
When all the chips fall, the crime could be considered within state or federal jurisdictions, Lee said. Because bank robbery is a federal crime, the FBI generally responds along with local police, he explained.
The suspect is considered armed and dangerous.
Anyone with information is urged to contact law enforcement, Lee said.

Do not expect that you have to do this thing or that thing because that is what is expected of you. Who has walked in your shoes? How can anyone judge the decisions you have made on behalf of the care of your loved one?

The West Vancouver Police Department is crediting a quick thinking employee of the West Vancouver Aquatic Center with foiling what they believed was a ruse to steal some found property.
On November 18, 2011, a male and female attended the West Vancouver Senior Centre and Aquatic Center where they asked staff if they could check their found property and found property ledger for some jewellery they claimed belonged one of their deceased relatives.
An employee quickly recognized the female as being a person who tried a similar ruse on her last year at this same location. When questioned further, the male became argumentative with staff before both parties left the facility on foot. As a result, the West Vancouver Police Department was notified.
West Vancouver Police officers managed to track down the two individuals several blocks away. Although no property had been obtained by these individuals, police investigators learned both parties had prior contact with police that involved them attending recreation centres and other businesses with similar manufactured stories. Police also learned that a similar scam had been tried at another Rec Center on the North Shore earlier in the week.
The West Vancouver Police Department would like to make community recreation centres and other businesses aware of this scam and caution employees from allowing any would-be property owners from viewing their found property logs. Employees should also be cautious about showing people any items of value they have stored in their businesses' found property locker until the person has provided enough descriptive details of the item(s) they are looking for.
Any person who has knowledge of this incident or a similar one can contact the West Vancouver Police Department at 604 925 7300 and quote file # 11- 14572. Alternatively, calls can be made to Crime Stoppers at 1 800 222 8477 where your information may lead to a reward.

In the weeks since New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced that he would block three charter schools from using public school space rent-free, conservative media have sent themselves into a tizzy distorting the mayor's record, accusing him of waging a "war on children" and calling him "Comrade Bill." Perhaps no outlet was more indignant about de Blasio's decision than Fox News, whose hosts and pundits seemed incapable of discussing the story without blaming teachers unions, devoid of any evidence or support.
Watch below for Fox's "All Speculation, No Corroboration" approach to blaming teachers:
Fox's misguided outrage is unsurprising given the network's track record on unions. Its hosts and commentators have previously asked if "teachers unions [are] ruining your kids' education" and referred to labor unions as "parasites" that are "not doing anything" for workers. Fox host Dana Perino even suggested earlier this year that instead of making an "anti-NRA" film, filmmaker Harvey Weinstein could better "tackle gun violence if he would take on the teachers unions."
Fox News displayed a striking double standard on politicians appearing on comedy shows, questioning the appropriateness of President Obama's comedic interview, and ten minutes later praising Sen. John McCain's (R-AZ) Letterman appearance
On America's Newsroom, Fox co-hosts Bill Hemmer and Martha MacCallum questioned the appropriateness of Obama's interview with comedian Zach Galfianakis on his Funny or Die show "Between Two Ferns." Ten minutes later, the same Fox hosts lauded McCain's appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman, laughing at a joke he had made and declaring that McCain had "knocked it out of the park":
According to a New York Times report about Gabriel Sherman's upcoming biography of Fox News Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes, Ailes proclaimed to fellow Fox executives before the 2012 election that he wanted "to elect the next president." Here's a quick look at how he tried to do so:
Right-wing media figures have repeatedly accused Obama administration officials of using "scare tactics" for correctly pointing out that the U.S. will default if the debt ceiling is not raised by October 17. Economists, however, have echoed the administration's warnings, saying such claims that the U.S. will not default is "crazy talk."
Here's a look at some of the right-wing media's worst accusations:
Fox continued to prove itself a safe haven for conservatives as former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld enjoyed an easy interview on Fox & Friends. Fox News chose to ignore Rumsfeld's role in the Iraq war while other outlets questioned him about manipulated intelligence and the role the war played in America's standing in the international community.
The softball questions lobbed by hosts Steve Doocy, Gretchen Carlson, and Brian Kilmeade stood in stark contrast to the challenging questions asked by Chris Cuomo of CNN's New Day and Savannah Guthrie of NBC's Today. The Fox interview comes on the heels of a new report detailing the cozy relationship between Fox News and Republicans and the friendly forum Fox presents to their conservative guests.
While Cuomo and Guthrie asked Rumsfeld questions about the lingering effects of the Iraq war and Rumsfeld's role in the intelligence failures leading up to it, the hosts of Fox & Friends chose to avoid any mention of Iraq. Hosts Gretchen Carlson, Brian Kilmeade, and Steve Doocy made no mention of the botched intelligence and instead asked leading questions that gave Rumsfeld an opportunity to criticize President Obama's handling of the developing situation in Syria.
Fox's treatment of the former Defense Secretary, and Republicans in general, has become a noticeable pattern. The Rumsfeld interview comes after a recent report by Harvard University's Shorenstein Center detailing Fox's unique role as a safe haven for conservative candidates.
On August 12, a federal court judge ruled that the New York Police Department (NYPD) was improperly performing the common police tactic of "stop and frisk" by unconstitutionally targeting persons of color without reasonable suspicion. The New York City Council agreed, and passed legislation over a mayor's veto on August 23 to safeguard against future unconstitutional applications of this long-standing enforcement tactic. Right-wing media responded by ignoring the constitutional violations and instead defended the NYPD's actions for "establishing a sense of order."
Fox News' Stuart Varney renewed his attacks on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), more commonly known as food stamps, to hype an upcoming special on that government assistance program and to promote a new Fox News poll that paints SNAP in a negative light. Fox has repeatedly shamed, mocked, and decried the lack of stigma directed at those on government assistance programs, and Varney's segment continued that campaign.
On the August 8 edition of America's Newsroom, Fox Business Network's Stuart Varney discussed a new opinion poll Fox conducted regarding SNAP benefits. During the segment, host Bill Hemmer lamented that we are "a nation on the dole" while Varney complained that SNAP benefits are too easily accessible and criticized efforts to raise awareness of SNAP in underserved communities They ignored the fact that SNAP spending and enrollment is projected to decline as the economy continues to recover. This segment was offered as a preview of an upcoming Fox report titled "The Great Food Stamp Binge."
Varney, who once said that many low-income Americans "have things -- what they lack is the richness of spirit," is commonly the spokesperson for Fox's campaign to 'mock the poor,' and he merely continued Fox's ongoing campaign against government assistance programs and on the recipients of those programs themselves -- a campaign that has even gained influence in Congress. Varney is infamous for his repeated efforts to dismiss and demonize those people who require government assistance. As Varney himself has admitted, "I am being mean to poor people. Frankly, I am."
As President Obama addressed reactions surrounding the acquittal of George Zimmerman, right-wing media took to Twitter and attacked the president's remarks:
House Republicans reportedly plan to remove food stamp funding from the federal farm bill, a move that stands to further jeopardize the survival of the critical anti-poverty program. This move comes after years of right-wing media figures demonizing food stamp recipients as lazy or dependent, with Rush Limbaugh going so far as to propose dumpster diving as an alternative.
Here's a look back at some of the most egregious right-wing attacks on food stamps:
Rush Limbaugh claimed on his radio show that, unlike liberals, he doesn't view people as "members of groups." But Limbaugh has a history of isolating groups of people who disagree with him and demonizing them:

Breitbart News reports that Obama's 501(c)4 political nonprofit, Organizing For Action failed to register the corresponding domain OrganizingForAction.com as well as the major .org/.net/.us/info extensions and misspellings. OrganizingForAction.net now points to the National Rifle Association website.
Breitbart reports that Obama is furious and has filed an ICANN action to claim the domains.

A panel discussion was held on the Vietnam War from the perspective of Americans of Japanese ancestry. They talked about their experiences in the military from basic training through Vietnam and civilian reactions to them. Topics included prejudice against minorities in the military, ill-treatment of minority veterans, and the special problem of looking like the enemy, including relations with the Vietnamese. They responded to questions from members of the audience.
The moderator was Judge Vincent Okamoto, who was in Vietnam 1968-1969 as an infantry officer. His first published novel, Wolfhound Samurai, is about his experiences in Vietnam. Kenneth Hayashi, in Logistical Services, and Gary Hayakawa, paratrooper, were in Vietnam 1967-1968. David Miyoshi was a Marine officer in Vietnam 1969-1970 while Scott Takahashi was in the artillery. Jerry Yamamoto served stateside as a psychology social work specialist.

I figured that if I liked kitchen tips and tricks that probably lots of other bloggers did too, and they probably knew how to do things that I didn't know.
I decided to ask a few of my blogging friends to share some of their favorite tips and tricks that they rely on in the kitchen. Here's what they have to say!
Bree from Baked Bree knows just the trick to getting your cakes to bake nice and flat. I never knew this one, and it is really pretty simple! I always did it the hard way and cut part of the top of the cake off to level it after the fact.

Caroline from Chocolate and Carrots suggests purchasing a cake tester for your baked goods. She says: "Have you ever used up 7+ toothpicks to test if your baked good is finished baking? I have and I never have to waste another toothpick to test a cake, muffin, or bread. Plus, the diameter of the metal tester is so small that you can hardly even see where it poked the baked good. No evidence."

What are your favorite kitchen tips and tricks? Do you have a special way of making an ordinary task easier, faster, or less messy?
p.s. I was out of town earlier this week filming a few great kitchen tips with Reynolds. I can't wait to share the videos with you!
Wow, these are some seriously helpful tips…and many new to me! We cook bacon in the oven but I have to credit my husband for that splatterred-stove saving idea. We're into making big batches of things like pancakes or waffles, and even casseroles, meatloaves, soups, etc. and freezing them. When I have some extra time, I leverage that for those days that I don't.
This list is brilliant! Thanks for sharing – it's being bookmarked.
great ones.. I want to share one for cutting broccoli that I saw on Kalyn's Kitchen "To avoid the mess from trimming broccoli, cut through the stem part, then pull flowerets apart. I don't remember where I learned this trick, but it really works!"
I prefer the Alton Brown method for bacon using the drying racks for cakes.. put bacon in cold oven, set to 400 and the time for 20 minutes.
These are great tips! I am a total disaster in the kitchen so I dont' really have any useful tips… I am more the type that searches for good advice on how to keep the kitchen in somewhat of a decent shape, so this article was a great help for me! Thanks!!
These are so useful! I knew about some of them, but others are all new to me – can't wait to try.
Hey Katie! Love these tips! I rarely remember to use my food processor to shred cheese, but wow if you need a whole block of cheese shredded, it takes only 5 seconds! I need to use it way more often than I do!
I don't eat bacon often, but I am going to have to try baking it next time! My favorite tip is freezing cream in ice cube trays to get 1 tablespoon servings for creamy soups (since I can never get through the entire carton of cream from my local dairy). Also using a cup to hold your piping bag to fill, I wish I had known about that one years ago!
To keep celery stored in foil. It lasts forever (okay, maybe not forever, but a long time) like that!
I never realized I had a neat trick until I watched my aunt struggle with slicing an avocado. Just cut it in half and take out the seed. Then run your knife from end to end making slices but not all the way through the skin. Run a spoon between the skin and fruit and it pops right out, already sliced.
This is an extremely useful post! I will have to reference this continually as I bake and cook throughout my life.
I can't think of a novel tip right now, other than that whisking egg whites with a fork lets you get in exercise while baking so you don't have to go to the gym after making and eating a decadent cake!

Don't be intimidated by the idea of cooking king crab legs. Follow these simple instructions for a fun-to-eat dinner that's ready in just 15 minutes.
Plan on serving 1 lb of crab legs per person. If you're serving a larger group, this recipe is easy to double or even triple, but don't crowd the stockpot; cook the crab legs in batches.
Frozen crab legs are typically precooked, so you're simply reheating them in the boiling water. Be careful not to overcook them, as they will lose their delicate flavor.
Add some finely chopped garlic to the melted butter for extra flavor.

A law enforcement official says at least three people have died in a shooting at a New Jersey supermarket.
The law enforcement official briefed on the shooting tells The Associated Press that the person believed to be the shooter is among the dead. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the shooting took place in a different jurisdiction.
The official says the shooting happened early Friday inside a Pathmark grocery store in Old Bridge, a suburb about 25 miles from New York. The store was closed at the time.
New Jersey Transit closed its nearby park-and-ride lot.

MBARI Chemical Sensor Program
Project Manager and Lead Scientist: Ken Johnson
Ken Johnson's lab is developing two novel chemical sensors that can be deployed throughout the ocean to monitor biogeochemical processes. The Ion Selective Field Effect Transistors (ISFET) sensor appears well-suited for measuring seawater pH over long time periods. Johnson is working with a major ISFET manufacturer to adapt chips for deep-sea applications. Dissolved ammonium ion is a key phytoplankton nutrient in oligotrophic and eutrophic environments, but is hard to measure. In 2009 Johnson's lab will continue to develop a robust fluidic platform to perform these ammonium analyses, as well as other in situ chemical analyses such as those for phosphate and dissolved inorganic carbon, on oceanographic moorings.

In some ways, the Warriors didn't seem to miss Bogut a whole lot. Normally a poor rebounding team, they held their won against Minnesota, even without their leading big man. They outrebounded Minnesota 51-42, and scored more points in the paint. On the other hand, Golden State's interior defense was feeble at times. Light-scoring center Gorgui Dieng wound up with 14 points, and many of Corey Brewer's 22 points came on slams.
Another possible ramification of Bogut's absence: Without his presence in the paint, several Warriors found themselves in foul trouble. David Lee picked up his fifth with 3:10 to play, and Klay Thompson and Draymond Green both had four at that point, though all of them managed to stay on the court.
Golden State Warriors vs. Minnesota Timberwolves
The playoffs will be a different matter altogether. The Clippers have one of the best centers in the game in DeAndre Jordan.
The Warriors came out lifeless and trailed by as many as 19 points in the second quarter. Asked whether his team was affected by the bad news regarded Bogut, Jackson said: "No, that was just bad. I wish I could paint a picture with something else. With all due respect to Boges and Andre (Iguodala, who got a night off), they're great players but they're not that great. Meaning, we played awful."
The Warriors stormed back to make it a game behind the red-hot shooting of Curry, who traded baskets with Minnesota's Kevin Love.

A cut gas line leaves residents of three towns without any gas overnight.
Xcel Energy says just before midnight Saturday, a back hoe operator cut through one of their main gas lines, where it runs through Rullison. As a result, officials say the towns of Parachute, Battlement Mesa, and De Beque were completely out of gas by 2:00am.
Crews worked for hours repairing the line and were able to restore gas flow to all three towns by 4:00am.
Fifteen crews have spent most of the day in those areas, relighting pilots in all of their customers' homes to get their gas running again. Xcel says those crews will continue to work after dark and is asking anyone who still needs their pilot relit to turn on their porch lights.
Crews were able to find the back hoe that had cut the line -- but not the driver, who they believe took off after cutting the line. The Garfield County Sheriff's Office says two detectives are currently investigating the case. No arrests have been made at this time.

Paul vs. Perry

Texas congressman Ron Paul is out with a new ad attacking Texas governor Rick Perry for his support of Al Gore in the 1988 presidential election, when Perry was still a registered Democrat. Watch the ad below:
The Perry campaign quickly responded, pointing to a letter Paul wrote in 1987 when he resigned from the Republican party:

This is a photo of the piece 'Human' by Rashaun Rucker, deputy director of photography and video at the Detroit Free Press. Each tile is a black-and-white image printed on aluminum.
Rashaun Rucker
Rashaun Rucker, deputy director of photography and video at the Free Press, has been named the winner of the 2013 Michigan Fine Arts Competition.
The 31st annual event at the Birmingham Bloomfield Art Center includes 105 works of art by 83 artists. Nationally known painter Brad Durham juried the exhibit.
Six winners were named, with Rucker taking the top prize for Human, a 36-by-36-inch photography-on-metal piece showing faces of Detroits homeless population.
I am overwhelmed by the honor and the privilege of showing with artists from all over the Midwest, he said Friday. It definitely feels like coming full circle for me, being from a fine arts background and now being able to show my work to the public for the first time in over a decade.
Rucker, a North Carolina native, has been at the Free Press since 2003. In 2008, he became the first African American to be named Michigan Press Photographer of the Year and was awarded a regional and national Emmy. He currently is a Hearst Visiting Professional in the school of journalism at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
The winners were named at a reception Friday, but the exhibit will run through Aug. 23.
Birmingham Bloomfield Art Center, located at 1516 S. Cranbrook Road, Birmingham, is open 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday-Thursday and 9 a.m.-5 p.m Friday-Saturday except July 4-6.

Our laboratory is interested in how alterations in peripheral immune function impact the CNS. Previously, we identified that the macrophages that accumulate in the CNS of patients with HIV encephalitis (HIVE) are potentially skewed to a type 2 polarization, similar to that seen in T cell immunity in patients with AIDS. Recently, we observed expansion of a monocyte subset in the peripheral blood that may give rise to these macrophages in a single time point cross-sectional analysis of HIV infected patients. A positive correlation with the percent frequency of this monocyte subset and viral load and an inverse correlation with CD4+ T cells was also observed, suggesting a role for this monocyte subset in the development of AIDS. Interestingly, this monocyte subset is also expanded in aging and may have broader implications outside of the context of HIV infection. To increase our understanding of this expanded monocyte/macrophage subset and its role in the development and/or progression of CNS disease in HIV infection and aging, we are using a multidisciplinary approach that utilizes a number of investigative approaches to study these cells from human subjects.

Where do casino taxes go?
Local governments and schools get the lions share of casino taxes in Ohio, but others also receive regular payments.
51 percent goes to counties. For those counties with cities with populations exceeding 80,000, the county and the city split the payment.
34 percent goes to schools.
5 percent goes to the host cities Cleveland, Columbus, Toledo and Cincinnati (after its casino opens in March).
The remaining 10 percent is split between separate funds that pay for police training, gambling addiction services and state oversight of the casinos and horse racing.
Casino tax payments
School districts will be splitting almost $38 million in casino tax payments at the end of this month. The semiannual payments are based on a per-pupil formula. This is the first distribution since three casinos opened in Ohio in 2012. County governments, which have twice drawn from the casino fund, also are set to receive their quarterly cash infusion from gambling revenue Jan. 31.

COSHOCTON — While the Ohio Department of Taxation has released the projected figures for the first casino tax disbursement, area administrators are cautious about what the funding could mean.
In all, Coshocton County schools are supposed to receive $113,765. However, some of that will be distributed to outlying districts such as West Holmes, Garaway and Newcomerstown; some also will go to online schools such as the Ohio Virtual Academy and Ohio Connections Academy, according to the Ohio Department of Taxation. See how much your school will receive.
Area public school superintendents said their share isnt enough to make a significant dent, but Coshocton City Schools Superintendent David Hire said he plans to discuss the possibility of using the $34,821 earmarked for his district to enhance the consolidated elementary building project.
Thats a discussion Ill have with the treasurer and the board (of education), Hire said. Whether well just put it into the general fund or use it for some special purpose.
Ridgewood Local School District Interim Superintendent Bill Zanders said the schools share about $23,540 isnt enough to start any special initiatives or hire staff.
Well just put it into the general fund and it will be used to pay bills, he said.
Any additional money the districts are going to get, we do appreciate that. Its not going to make up for the losses, said Michelle Francis, lobbyist for the Ohio School Boards Association, referring to a drop in overall school funding in the last state budget.
This is the first distribution to schools since casinos opened in 2012. The money is distributed on a per-pupil basis twice per year to more than 1,000 school districts and charter schools across Ohio. It works out to $20.93 for each of the about 1.8 million students. Private schools do not receive a share of the money.
River View Local School District is supposed to receive $42,426, according to Ohio Department of Taxation.
An informal analysis done in 2012 by Mike Sobul a former state tax administrator and current treasurer for Granville Exempted Village Schools showed school districts can expect to receive between $21 and $35 per student in 2013 and between $71 and $78 per student in 2014.
The Ohio Department of Taxation announced almost $38 million in payments would be headed to school districts Jan. 31. Districts are receiving about $20.91 per student enrolled, according to figures from the tax department. Basic aid for schools from the state, not including federal support, is budgeted at $5.5 billion for this fiscal year.
This is the first semi-annual check from the gaming proceeds for schools. County governments, which along with the host cities have been receiving quarterly payments since the summer, are due $20.5 million on the same day.
After multiple failed attempts, Ohio voters gave their blessing to casino gambling in November 2009. Three casinos have opened since May, including the Hollywood Casino Columbus in October. The fourth, and final, casino the Horseshoe Casino Cincinnati is set to debut in March.
Casinos have grossed, after payouts, more than $350 million through December, according to the Ohio Casino Control Commission. During that same time, $112 million in casino taxes have been collected. That is far below projections made by the casino lobby ahead of the 2009 vote.
The Ohio Jobs and Growth Committee released a study that estimated $628 million in annual tax revenue for cities, counties and schools, although that is based on all four casinos running for a full year. In July, the Cincinnati Enquirer reported three casinos had revised their revenue and tax bills down by 46 percent since 2009.
Coshocton County government will receive $85,571, in the first disbursement, according to the Ohio Department of Taxation.
The casino revenue will be used to appropriate funds to all the general fund departments, said Robin Schonauer, budget director for the county commissioners. There is no specific use, Schonauer said.

|Levels and profiles of PCDD/Fs, PCBs in mothers' milk in Shenzhen of China: Estimation of breast-fed infants' intakes.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21531025 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Sixty breast milk samples were collected in Shenzhen, China from July to November in 2007. The samples were analyzed of the concentrations of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). The range of upper-bound for ∑TEQ-(PCDD/Fs+PCBs) in the samples was 4.10-35.3pgTEQg(-1) lipid (median: 10.6pgTEQg(-1) lipid; mean: 11.9pgTEQg(-1) lipid). The levels of the measured contaminants in the breast milk had significant correlations with the length of inhabitation period in Shenzhen (r=0.487, p<0.05 for PCDD/Fs, r=0.431, p<0.05 for PCBs and r=0.478, p<0.05 for ∑TEQ-(PCDD/Fs+PCBs)), and the consumption rate of fish (r=0.366, p<0.05 for PCDD/Fs, r=0.486, p<0.05 for PCBs and r=0.416, p<0.05 for ∑TEQ-(PCDD/Fs+PCBs)), respectively. Moreover, significant positive correlations were also detected between the participant's age (r=0.305, p<0.05 for ∑TEQ-PCBs and r=0.275, p<0.05 for ∑TEQ-(PCDD/Fs+PCBs)) and the body burdens of these contaminants respectively. It is estimated that the daily intake (EDI) of the sum of PCDD/Fs and DL-PCBs by the breast-fed infants was 5.60-161pgTEQkg(-1) bw per day (mean: 48.2pgTEQkg(-1) bw per day; median: 42.2pgTEQkg(-1) bw per day). The result showed that both the body burdens of PCDD/Fs and PCBs of the recruit population and the calculated EDI of the breast-fed infants were higher than those in the non-exposed areas in mainland China. This suggests that continuous surveillance on PCDD/Fs and PCBs levels in human milk is critical to more precisely evaluate the human health risk posed by the negative environmental impact in Shenzhen in the future.

Zinfandel Red Wine
2 x 2011 Dashe Dry Creek Zinfandel
2 x 2012 Coronet Sonoma County Zinfandel
2 x 2012 Volar Lodi Zinfandel
Recently a Lot18 member reached out to us, asking if we could put together a half case of wine that holds nothing back: "Give me power, give me structure, give me flavor, give me wines that scream, 'In your FACE!' " Slightly less poetic might have been, "May I have some Zinfandel, please?" but we're happy to accommodate either way. In this half case you get two bottles each of three different Zins, each one of them powerful, polished and ever so ... well, in your face. But these wines aren't just summer blockbusters that appeal solely to Transformers-collecting men. They're crowd-pleasers, great to enjoy with any food item you can think of to throw on the grill in the summertime. If you're planning a summer get-together, this is one of the best collections of reds you can get for the buck.
From the winery: "Extremely aromatic lavender and violet notes, mixed with black raspberry and wild cherry fruit. Tastes of black raspberry and wild cherry, with darker notes of chocolate, coffee and clove. An extremely balanced wine with good acidity, soft and velvety texture, and a complex finish of wild cherry fruit, raspberry and peppery spice."
You're immediately greeted by big, bold aromas of rich black fruit, blueberry pie, juicy plum and hints of mulling spice. The entry is rich and full, with an inviting mid-palate that has concentration and density backed by lively acidity. The texture is soft and velvety, with smooth, polished tannins that linger harmoniously. A core of intense, dark plum and cocoa notes coat the palate, while balanced acidity and lingering tannins add complexity, concentration and depth to the finish.
A bit lighter in color than you'd expect, this Zin surprises with a boom of raspberry, blackberry and blood orange aromas. The berry flavors, in particular, carry over to the palate, along with notes of ripe cherry and chocolate, all combining and leading to a long finish. There's a tiny bit of Petite Sirah in the blend, which lends a smoky note to the wine. Balanced and approachable, this Zin matches perfectly with pretty much any bold-flavored cuisine.

Shingles Virus Pictures
This site is dedicated to Shingles Pictures. Here you will find rash shingles pictures,
shingles disease pictures, shingles complications pictures and shingles contagious pictures.
Learn from these shingles symptoms pictures to identify your type of shingles.
Shingles virus pictures
If there is something special about the shingles virus, then it must be that it causes a variety of diseases, each of them more serious than the last one. The first thing that the shingles virus could cause is chicken pox.
Yes, indeed, the varicella zoster virus is the same with the shingles virus. About twenty years after the initial problem, the virus, which went into a sort of hibernation, attacks again. This time, it waits for a proper moment. That means that it makes itself known in people with lowered immunity, including cancer and AIDS patients. However, most of the shingles affected persons are just having a cold or a headache.
Also, one more thing that makes the shingles virus so well known is that it has absolutely no preference for a specific age, sex, social category or ethnicity. Therefore, it is present all over the world. Only in the United States of America, more then one million of shingles cases have been diagnosed in the last year alone. The physical manifestations become much more visible if the affected person is over the age of sixty or has a job that requires them to wear protective gear all day long.
If the problematic patch of skin cannot breathe and is buried under layers of polyester, the symptoms will become exacerbated and the shingles could become a real issue, not just an annoyance.
Among HIV patients, unlike the others, the Shingles virus rash may spread to both sides of the body and spread more widely.
The close connection between shingles and chickenpox diseases were already known before the discovery of the pathogen. On first contact with the virus (often youth), we make a chickenpox. If the virus is reactivated later, it causes shingles.
