UN Women Reveal Strategic Plan
"The strategic plan before you is our shared roadmap for the next few years," Bachelet declared at the annual session of the agency's executive board at the U.N. headquarters in New York. "Like any good map, it sets out a general direction to be followed. We will need to come back to it regularly to see if we need mid-course corrections and whether we are on the right track."
The plan builds on the vision and 100-day action plan unveiled by UN Women in January and includes the longer-term vision, goals and results up to 2017.
The vision of UN Women is:
"The UN-Women vision is a world in which societies are free of gender-based discrimination, where women and men have equal opportunities, where the comprehensive economic and social development of women and girls is ensured so that they can lead the changes that they want to see, where gender equality and women's empowerment are achieved and where women's rights are upheld in all efforts made towards further development, human rights, peace and security."
The current plan is due for review in 2013. It outlines six goals that U.N. Women aims to achieve over the next six years:
- Increase women's leadership and participation in all areas affecting their lives.
- Increase women's access to economic opportunities and empowerment.
- Prevent violence against women and girls and boost access to survivor services.
- Boost women's leadership in peace and security and humanitarian response.
- Strengthen the responsiveness of national budgets and development plans to gender equality.
- Ensure visible link between agreements and operational plans to increase attention to gender equality.
Aside from these six development-focused goals, the strategic plan also includes four priorities for the agency's management team which focus on gathering international support for UN Women and cross agency work.
Bachelet identified three elements that she said are essential for U.N. Women to fulfill the goals and vision outlined in the strategic fund: focus, financial resources and strategic presence at the national level.
On focus, Bachelet said U.N. Women is developing a "minimum package" of support services based on priorities set by its partner countries and identified by U.N. country teams. On the issue of financial resources, she said the agency is "finalising a comprehensive partnership strategy which seeks to expand the current donor base, to deepen existing partnerships with increased level of financial contributions, and to diversify our supporters by building up strong partnerships with the private sector and foundations."
Bachelet also identified U.N. Women's criteria for determining which countries it should have a strong national presence in:
"We propose a particular focus on LDCs and middle income countries with high inequality as well as countries in conflict and post-conflict situations with particular insecurity for women."

Great alternative to fluoride toothpastes for infants and kids
Spry Infant Tooth Gel, 2 fl oz Gel review posted by Anne on 7/31/13
My young children have been using this product for more than 4 years. This toothpaste contains a high level of xylitol which has been shown to decrease cariogenic bacteria in clinical studies. The ingredients are safe, the taste is appealing to my kids, and I don't have to worry about them ingesting fluoride. Great product!

Lamb of God -- Silver Spring, MD -- November 17th, 2012
Full review
SOLD OUT SHOW at the Fillmore in Silver Spring
Sylosis sounded unremarkable IMO. Their set was done right as I got a beverage :/ I can't recall comment more on them.
HATEBREED is still a great live band (sound so much better than the albums). Their energy level got most everyone PUMPED, and I wondered how In Flames was going to follow them. I mean I love In Flames, but they were facing a losing battle here
IN FLAMES had a blinding light show, good sound, but weak set list. They def played second fiddle to Hatebreed. Even Anders said, on stage, that Hatebreed is a hard act to follow. Jeez. I woulda preferred some older songs, but that's me.
LAMB OF GOD absolutely killed it. Def took Hatebreed's energy level and raised it at least 33%. 2 screens on stage played various animations and war footage. Appropriate yet sobering a bit. In any event they sounded great and I'm glad I didn't miss them this time.
Shirts/merch was lame, unremarkable IMO. various skull jesters for In Flames, and I really can't recall the Hatebreed or Lamb of God shirts. Maybe a hoodie somewhere?
Hatebreed set is all jumbled, I only know the last half is accurate. FFFFFFFFFFFFF

New Siam II/III without a booking in Feb - OK?
Joined Travelfish
5th January, 2009
Posts: 2
Four of us are going to Bangkok in early Feb and our best guess for quiet, clean but cheap rooms is the New Siam II or III guesthouse, but not very happy about the booking fee and credit card surcharges online.
What's the chances we'd get OK rooms on a walk-in at that time of year? Will the prices be different? Is this place usually pretty full up?

Canada Opens New Trade Office in Northern Iraq
Minister Yelich leads first trade mission to Iraq in 25 years
February 13, 2014 - The Honourable Lynne Yelich, Minister of State (Foreign Affairs and Consular), demonstrated Canada's strong commitment to supporting Iraq's democratic development by supporting an unprecedented four-day visit to the cities of Basra, Baghdad and Erbil. While in Iraq, Minister Yelich also opened a Canadian Trade Representation Office in Erbil. This was Canada's first trade mission to Iraq in 25 years.
"Canada is expanding its presence in Iraq to support Iraqis in their efforts to build a brighter future," said Minister Yelich. "Canada wants to help Iraq rebuild its infrastructure, develop its natural resources and create wealth for its citizens. Only by creating economic opportunity for all will Iraq regain political and social stability."
In Baghdad, Minister Yelich delivered remarks at the first Conference on Canada-Iraq Commercial Relations, and in Erbil she spoke to the first Conference on Canada-Kurdistan Commercial Relations. These conferences brought together business leaders from Canadian companies and local Iraqi business representatives wanting to conduct business in Canada or with Canadians. The trade mission, organized by the Canada-Arab Business Council, primarily comprised companies in the oil and gas and infrastructure sectors.
During this trade mission, Minister Yelich met with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, Vice-President Khodair al-Khozaei, Minister of Foreign Affairs Hoshyar Zebari, Basra Governor Majid Al-Nasrawi, and President of the Iraqi Kurdistan Region Massoud Barzani. She confirmed Canada's resolve to support Iraq's efforts in reconstruction and combatting terrorism. She also reiterated Canada's commitment to supporting the Iraqi people in their ongoing efforts to build democracy and pluralistic federalism, including the important elections on April 30.
Minister Yelich also thanked the authorities in Iraq and Iraqi Kurdistan for their generosity in hosting Syrian refugees and promised continued Canadian support. Canada's assistance in response to the Syrian crisis encompasses $353.5 million in humanitarian assistance and $210.6 million in development assistance to refugee-hosting countries, including $8.8 million to Iraq.
In addition, the Minister met with Sami Al-Araji, Chair of the National Investment Commission, to discuss how to work together to break the perceptions on challenges in Iraq so businesses in Canada can better take advantage of the country's booming economy. Through their leadership and leading-edge technologies, Canadian investors promote sustainable development and responsible business practices in countries around the world.
Reconstruction efforts in Iraq will continue to create significant business opportunities for Canadian companies, which have become increasingly involved in the infrastructure, transportation, agriculture, housing and power generation sectors.
As part of the Government of Canada's commitment to expanding engagement with a key regional player, Canada reopened its diplomatic mission in Baghdad in April 2013. Canada's new Trade Representation Office in Erbil is responsible for trade with all of Iraq and will serve as a gateway for expanding dialogue between Canada and Iraqi Kurdistan—an important part of Canada's re-engagement with Iraq.
"A secure, stable and democratic Iraq is essential for regional peace and prosperity," said Minister Yelich. "Canada is increasing its presence in Iraq at a critical period in the country's transition to democracy."

The evening is supposed to be one of the most memorable high school moments. And what better way to make prom special than to have a custom-made dress?
Local designer Emma Berg set out to make the big dance a unique experience for several metro-area high schoolers. She volunteered to design and make gowns for 10 members of the Boys and Girls Club of the Twin Cities, a nonprofit serving area youth.
For Berg, it is about partnering with stylists, modeling agencies, photographers and others from the local design community for a good cause.
"I wanted to bring other people into the process," Berg says. Working with the girls has helped her as a designer, too, she says. "It's a way for me to bring diverse perspectives into the design process."
Several meetings with the girls, yards of fabric and countless hours of work later, the prom dresses were finished. The pieces were unveiled during a fashion show Tuesday in which the girls -- after getting a crash course in modeling from local agency Vision Management Group -- walked the runway in their custom gowns.
The fashion show, called "I Am Everything," was held at the Ritz Theater in Northeast Minneapolis (it donated the space) and also featured pieces from Berg's latest fall/winter collection and other local partners. The majority of proceeds from the evening benefited the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Twin Cities.
For White Bear Lake Area High School junior Kaysha Dortch, the silk, peach organza dress with Swarovski crystals that Berg created will make prom all the more special. The process also taught her how much work it takes to design and make a dress -- not to mention coordinating with others to put on a runway show.
"I'm thankful for the experience," she said. "Without this, I probably wouldn't have been able to have my dream dress. It's amazing that she did it for free. It's hard to believe."

ST. PAUL, Minn. - It's a sure sign of springtime in St Paul. State lawmakers are once again especially bothered by a slow stretch of Interstate I-35E, and feeling the need for speed there.
"It's the idea that we frankly built a speed trap there in my mind," Sen. David Senjem of Rochester told KARE.
"I'm not sure that's fair to the general public as well. We've got a freeway made to go much faster than 45 miles an hour."
That 45 mph zone of I-35E runs for four miles, between downtown St. Paul to where the highway crosses the Mississippi River near Shepherd Road.
Over the years many lawmakers have tried to ramp it up to 55, but have failed. When Sen. Dan Hall of Burnsville tried it this week his idea was rejected again by his colleagues.
But Sen. Senjem took a different approach.
Senjem successfully tacked on an amendment to the transportation bill that would simply instruct the courts to go easier on those caught speeding in that segment of the interstate.
"We just again wanted to put a crinkle in this thing that we had to had to have this thing at 45 miles an hour forever more."
Under Senjem's amendment those pulled over and ticketed for going between 46 mph and 55 mph would still have to pay the fines, but the ticket would not go on their DPS driving records. Those infractions wouldn't be shared with insurance companies.
"It would seem to me we'd have the right to do that," Senjem explained. "I don't think we've interrupted anything that is federally mandated."
Neighborhood resident Karen Avaloz said the idea, on its most basic level, sounds as though state lawmakers are encouraging people to break the speed limit. And yet they would leave the fines in place to appease agencies that rely on the revenue.
"That sounds like a payoff situation or something," Avaloz remarked. "It doesn't strike me as me as being very above board."
Avaloz moved to that part of St. Paul 43 years ago, long before the interstate was even on the drawing board. She was part of a community organization known as Residents In Protest 35E, which fought the freeway for 15 years.
Avaloz herself was one of the parties to a lawsuit against MnDOT and the US Dept. of Transportation.
"The little people rose up, organized and used their democratic rights," she said. "And we won the right, the rights we felt we'd had as people living in the city. We won a set of promises."
In 1984 all the parties reached an out of court settlement, which allowing the construction of 35E. But it would have to look more like a parkway, with plantings in the dividers.
"That the speed limit, which was the most important thing, would be kept at a minimum of 45 for noise abatement" Avaloz recalled.
"And the commercial traffic, the big trucks, could not use that Parkway section, for noise and for air quality here."
Avaloz has become accustomed to watching the legislators up the road at the State Capitol take swings at the slow zone.
"I don't understand why this four miles of inner city road is so important to them. I don't know how it affects the senators who are from other places out in Minnesota."
The St. Paul delegation in the legislature backs the neighborhood, and is familiar with the history of the area.
"I want to be able to honor the agreement between the State and my communities," Rep. Carlos Mariani of St. Paul told KARE.
"Otherwise, why would communities ever settle with the state?"
Mariani said that lawmakers have sought advice from legal staff on the slow zone in the past, and been told any variation from the 1984 agreement approved by a federal judge could unravel that pact.
"We've been told if you do anything to make it more like a full-fledged interstate you open up the strong possibility that you'll have commercial traffic," he explained. "Those companies would could argue, justifiably, 'Hey this is a regular highway and I can send my trucks down here'."
The House version of the transportation bill has no such provision, so the Senate would have to convince the House to go along with the idea.

It was a little more complicated than it seems to, since we wanted to find a name that was meaningful too. My sister-in-law had suggested Alexander. Since we got married in the town of Alexandria in St. Alexander's cathedral, we thought it was perfect, however, not for the first name. We searched on the internet, in books everywhere and discounted names like Kermit, Doctor, Lucifer.... we kept coming back to Ethan. And then, while watching a French T.V. program about babies, I heard the name Nathan. I didn't know this name existed in French, and then we thought hey why not? Once we found out that it meant "gift from God" and he would be born in December, it was confirmed. Our little Christmas gift from God...and therefore we have officially chosen the baby's name!
Nathan Alexander
It is such a relief to not have to keep calling him baby, or him, but now we can actually start calling him by his name! We are so excited... and now all that is left is to meet little Nathan in just 11 short weeks!

NVIDIA pushing Intel on GeForce 9M for Atom
updated 08:55 am EST, Wed December 17, 2008
NVIDIA Pushing on Atom
NVIDIA on Thursday was reported as having visited Taiwan computer makers as part of a campaign to pressure Intel into allowing support for the GeForce 9400M and similar chipsets with the Atom processor. The chipset designer is said to be negotiating deals that would have the local firms themselves ask Intel to remove an insistence that Atom run only on its own platform and thus let NVIDIA move in, potentially leading to much faster graphics for netbooks and nettops.
The company doesn't specifically say whether it has tried negotiating directly with Intel to get support but implies that a lack of success has forced the new tactic. Which companies have been petitioned aren't named, though Acer and ASUS currenly sell the majority of netbooks. Current users of the 9400M platform are relatively few but include Apple and Toshiba, though whether these have also been asked to pressure Intel isn't mentioned.
Such a campaign points to a distinct reversal of NVIDIA's cautious stance on netbooks, revealing the company to now be directly interested in adapting it hybrid graphics and controller chipsets to the very low-cost and often limited field. Most netbooks are incapable of playing back HD video or of accelerating modern 3D.

WALLA WALLA — Walla Walla County commissioners got an earful Tuesday when they held a hearing on rules for recreational marijuana.
Some speakers urged the county to move ahead to adopt regulations on growing, distributing and selling pot.
Others, however, advocated a moratorium until more is known about possible legal fallout.
After listening to speakers, commissioners Perry Dozier, Jim Johnson and Greg Tompkins voted to continue the hearing until Sept. 16 to take written testimony and give legal staff additional time to work on the matter for unincorporated areas of the county.
Walla Walla County, like many other city and county governments, is seeking to come to grips with the ramifications of Intiative 502, which legalized the production, processing and sale of marijuana for recreational use. Regionally, Kennewick and Pasco have approved moratoriums on developing local ordinances. The city of Richland will decide on the issue this fall.
Although U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said last week his office won't sue to stop Washington and Colorado from allowing recreational marijuana, the county should still be concerned about running afoul of the federal Controlled Substances Act, said county Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Jesse Nolte.
According to the attorney general's memorandum, the federal government expects states to enact strong regulations to control the marijuana market. If any regulations enacted by the county failed to address the federal expectations, the county could find itself in trouble, Nolte said.
"The Department of Justice cannot rewrite federal law," he told commissioners. "If you're doing something that violates federal law, you're still liable for prosecution."
Another area of concern is the land use perspective. The county would have to designate where marijuana could be grown, processed and sold, what zoning regulations would apply and what permitting would be needed, such as conditional use permits.
But the first two speakers at Monday's hearing said this was an opportunity for the county to break new ground, especially in regard to helping medical marijuana users.
"As it stands now, no one is regulating it. We have an opportunity here in Walla Walla to be a pilot project, just like Seattle," said Debra Callahan, a Waitsburg City Council member who said she was speaking for herself.
The next speaker, Mike McClure, said he agreed with Callahan. "I believe there are answers and we can enact laws that work for the community," he said.
He urged commissioners to form a committee to work out solutions to the regulatory problems.
But the next speaker, Claire Valente, said she was very much in favor of a moratorium and would prefer to have the county "opt out of I-502" entirely and block sales and distribution of marijuana.
Although marijuana can be bought now, "there's a difference between having it illegal and available and having it available and legal," she said.
College Place Mayor Rick Newby also spoke in favor of a moratorium.
"Last year over 60 percent of College Place voters said `no' to I-502, reflecting the understanding that attempts to contravene federal drug laws are a prescription for ongoing legal conflict, increased criminal activity and higher costs," he told commissioners.
A moratorium will provide the time necessary for the county to consult and collaborate with citizens, cities, other counties and other agencies to evaluate impacts of implementing I-502, Newby said.
"The city of College Place is particularly interested in partnering with the county and other jurisdictions to determine the most effective way to protect the health, safety and welfare of those within our community and within our region," he said.

The heavy winds knocked down trees across Knox County, but there aren't any road crews to clear blocked roads. It's just one of many effects of a stalemate in the county fiscal court.
Knox County Judge Executive Raymond Smith shut down the county's road and sheriff's departments saying there's no approved money for fuel. Three county magistrates have not shown up for three meetings in a row this week putting a stop to county business.
The heavy winds knocked trees down into the roadway. Normally road crews would come by to clean up pretty quickly, but as long as the road department is shut down, it will just stay there, leaving a mess for nearby residents to deal with.
Lilly Abner says the road to her house is blocked by a tree making things difficult for most cars and all school buses.
"The parents will have to meet them or the kids will have to walk home," Abner said.
Knox County Sheriff John Pickard says he gassed up all his patrol cars before his department was shutdown so his deputies could still make necessary runs.
"Just run as long as we can and see what happens. It's really going to hurt us that way for sure," Pickard said.
County leaders haven't been able to approve payroll for hundreds of county employees including Lilly Abner's daughter, who worked on Election Day hoping to make some Christmas shopping money.
Abner says it's time for county leaders to work things out.
The Knox County judge called a meeting for Friday night in Barbourville. WYMT's Jon Sonnheim is in Barbourville and will have the full report on the meeting tonight on Mountain News Night Watch at 11.

First, when is the last time you saw 4 CHP's in a patrol car? Second, don't you think the hypocrites in Sacramento who demand citizens put up with the draconian CARB and job killing cap & trade laws would want something besides an SUV gas guzzler? Third, we don't think the CHP is going to be sneaking up on very many drivers with this huge silhouette in the rear view mirror. California continues to hold its lead in hypocrisy.

iPod classic, iPod shuffle survive minus updates
updated 05:25 pm EDT, Tue October 4, 2011
Rumors of classic/shuffle iPods' deaths premature
Last week, rumors were flying that Apple planned to discontinue the iPod shuffle and iPod classic. The axe was supposed to fall at today's big media event. That did not happen, and both iPods continue to be part of Apple's iPod lineup.
Neither comes with the updates that were given to the iPod touch and nano. The iPod shuffle continues to cost $49 for 2GB, while the iPod classic costs $249 for 160GB and didn't get a rumored 220GB update.
The two are typically the slower selling models in Apple's lineup but also fill important holes in the lineup. At its price, the shuffle is much less expensive than the iPod nano and works for those who are worried about cold hands or screen damage. The iPod classic is still the only iPod or iOS device that can hold more than 64GB of content. Apple could theoretically have developed a 128GB iPod touch but would have had to raise the price even as it fell short.

It's not especially common for the words "senator" or "congressman" to be thrown around when discussing the potential future of a high school football player.
But Central York's Erik Ramirez isn't like most football players.
Despite his larger than average size — 6-feet, 2 inches and 255 pounds — Ramirez is anything but a "big, dumb jock."
So it was not a real shock to Central football coach Brad Livingston when he received the news that Ramirez was this year's recipient of the $4,000 Charles Larson Memorial Football Scholarship.
The scholarship, named after a late Quarterback Club of York booster, will officially be awarded to Ramirez at the QB Club's awards banquet on Monday, Feb. 10, at the San Carlos Restaurant. It will mark the 38th year that the QB Club has awarded a scholarship to a senior York County football player.
"I know it sounds a little strange, and not what most people would be thinking, but Erik is a very mature young man," Livingston said. "It wouldn't surprise me at all someday to see him in the U.S. Senate or House of Representatives. He has many goals in life and he's able to articulate them very well."
No one need look any further than how Ramirez interacted with his teammates to get a sense that Livingston may be on to something. The senior, who is still in the middle of his college selection process, was a leader both vocally and by example throughout his career at Central.
"He's a pretty impressive young guy," Livingston said. "It was very clear from the beginning that he was a hard worker. He came into the program and did everything that we asked him to do. And along the way he matured into a leader who actually took on a strong leadership role with his line as both a junior and a senior. He was very much a coach on the field."
While Ramirez, who was a finalist for the scholarship along with four other York County high school seniors, has a definite interest in politics and public service, he's not ready to throw his hat into that ring quite yet.
"I like politics and I like the fact that you have a chance to make a difference, but I don't really know if that's in the cards for me," he said. "I know I want to go to college and I want to go to law school and we'll see where it takes me from there."
Roy Robbins, the chairman of the QB Club's scholarship committee, said there wasn't much of a decision to make for the selection committee after meeting Ramirez.
"He was very impressive as far as we felt," Robbins said. "He was actually pretty much an overwhelming choice. He's just an all-around impressive young man."
Ramirez, who was informed that he won the scholarship just a few hours after his interview with the committee concluded, was a bit surprised with how quickly he found out.
"I was shocked at how (the committee) could think so highly of me," he said. "So it's nice to think about that."
The scholarship — which isn't about rewarding the best player in the league — provided Ramirez a rare chance to celebrate. Being an offensive lineman, it was almost like scoring a game-winning touchdown, which is a tad weird for him.
"Oh, my God," Ramirez said. "I'm not used to the glory. Playing on the offensive line and defensive line, we're the workhorses. We don't make a lot of plays, but I like to think we're the most important. So being in the spotlight for a little bit is not something that I'm used to ... but it's something that I can get used to."
In addition to awarding Ramirez his scholarship, the QB Club will also award two $1,000 scholarships to Northeastern's Logan Neiman and York Catholic's Maggie Javitt.
The football Players of the Year in York-Adams League Division I, Division II and Division III will also be honored at the banquet. York High's James Way was the Division I Player of the Year, New Oxford's Wes Beans was the Division II Player of the Year and Littlestown's Trevor Hildebrand was the Division III Player of the Year.

It has begun. Remember the uproar about the EA Sports Online Pass which outlined their intent to make you pay to play their sports titles online if you buy the games used? Well it seems like the entire industry collaborated behind closed doors to form a unified front against used game sales. Ubisoft and now THQ have stated their plans to force those of you who buy certain titles used to pay for a code to unlock online play.
UFC Undisputed 2010 will support the Online Pass initiative. Multiplayer content for UFC Undisputed 2010 will be available via a one-time code included with the game at purchase. Codes for accessing the content will be available for second-time buyers for an additional $5 (400 Microsoft Points).
Ubisoft hasn't detailed the list of games they'll be using an Online Pass with. I guess cutting game manuals isn't quite enough cost saving for them. How many more publishers will opt to partake in the Online Pass initiative?
I guess these publishers and developers can't spend the millions that they already make quite fast enough and they need a bit more so they're trying to tap into the used game market in any fashion they can. What say you?

A former Co-op pharmacist has lost her case for unfair constructive dismissal after she was accused of bullying co-workers.
Ibolya Martin, 50, of Lairg in the Scottish Highlands, claims she was forced to resign last year after the company suspended her following a joint complaint from junior pharmacy staff members Heather MacLeay and Lindsey MacNeil.
Ms MacLeay told the employment tribunal that by the time of the complaint "we had just come to the end of our tether". "We felt that things were getting worse and worse for us," she added. "My family said I couldn't go on like this, not sleeping and being a nervous wreck."
Ms Martin denies any misconduct, however. She alleges the Co-op used the bullying allegations as an excuse to remove her from her post, as she had repeatedly raised concerns about the building's disabled access and fire safety procedures.
She said she felt "sick and humiliated" after being suspended on December 10 last year . "I think they had no right to force me out," she said. "I believe that, as I was blowing the whistle on health and safety and fire safety, I was victimised by the company."
Judith McCormack, representing Co-op, denied this in her closing statement, and said that the company did not breach its contract with Ms Martin "in any way, shape or form".
She said: "Two allegations were made against the complainer, which were both serious: one was bullying and one was misuse of company property. There was no breach, so whatever caused the complainer to resign may have been a reaction on her part, but ultimately we did not breach the contract."
The employment tribunal agreed and said the Co-op did not act improperly by suspending Ms Martin. "It's clear that the claimant's relationship with the two other workers had deteriorated considerably and in our view it is wholly appropriate to suspend someone in these circumstances."
After the hearing, Ms Martin said she would appeal the decision. "I think it was a miscarriage of justice and the whole procedure was unfair," she said. "I did my best for my patients and I am very disappointed."

|Relationship of glucose and oleate metabolism to cardiac function in lipin-1 deficient (fld) mice.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22058427 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Lipin-1 is the major phosphatidate phosphatase (PAP) in the heart and a transcriptional coactivator that regulates fatty acid (FA) oxidation in the liver. As the control of FA metabolism is essential for maintaining cardiac function, we investigated whether lipin-1 deficiency affects cardiac metabolism and performance. Cardiac PAP activity in lipin-1 deficient [fatty liver dystrophy (fld)] mice was decreased by >80% compared with controls. Surprisingly, oleate oxidation and incorporation in triacylglycerol (TG), as well as glucose oxidation, were not significantly different in perfused working fld hearts. Despite this, [³H]oleate accumulation in phosphatidate and phosphatidylinositol was increased in fld hearts, reflecting the decreased PAP activity. Phosphatidate accumulation was linked to increased cardiac mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Transthoracic echocardiography showed decreased cardiac function in fld mice; however, cardiac dysfunction was not observed in ex vivo perfused working fld hearts. This showed that changes in systemic factors due to the global absence of lipin-1 could contribute to the decreased cardiac function in vivo. Collectively, this study shows that fld hearts exhibit unchanged oleate esterification, as well as oleate and glucose oxidation, despite the absence of lipin-1. However, lipin-1 deficiency increases the accumulation of newly synthesized phosphatidate and induces aberrant cell signaling.

While Wilson Countians were wrapped up in the opening of high school football season or the penultimate night of the Wilson County Fair last Friday, a Triple-A baseball double header in upstate New York had a strong Mt. Juliet thumbprint left on it.
Rochester took on host Syracuse in the resumption of a suspended game from the previous night before the International League rivals played the scheduled contest.
Stephen Pryor, Friendship Christian Class of 2007, pitched 2 2/3 scoreless innings in relief, allowing a hit and two walks with three strikeouts to pick up the 4-2 win in his first decision since being traded by the Seattle Mariners to the Minnesota Twins last month.
In the regularly-scheduled game that followed, reduced to seven innings per minor-league double header, Taylor Hill, Mt. Juliet Class of 2007, tossed a complete game 3-0 shutout. The right-hander scattered three hits and a walk with two strikeouts to improve to 11-6.
Pryor and Hill are in opposing dugouts as the Chiefs and Red Wings battle for playoff positions, but they were teammates at Mt. Juliet Middle School and, for at least their freshman seasons, at Mt. Juliet High before Pryor transferred to Friendship.
"That was a loaded team," Mt. Juliet coach Mark Purvis said. "We had Caleb Cotham [a teammate with Hill at Vanderbilt who now pitches in the New York Yankees system] then, too."
While Syracuse was finishing salvaging the split, Albuquerque was taking on Colorado Springs in the high Colorado altitude with Lebanon's Jeff Bennett on the mound for the visiting Isotopes.
In an atmosphere conducive for high-scoring games, Bennett battled through 5 2/3 innings in which he allowed four earned runs on nine hits and two walks with five strikeouts in a 13-7 victory.
Pryor's been back on the mound since Friday, surviving a two-out solo home run Sunday to save a 5-4 home win over Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. It was his second save in his last three outings. He only pitched one inning Sunday, but was coming off five straight outings of at least two innings as he lowered his Rochester earned-run average to 1.02 and Triple-A season ERA, counting his time at Tacoma, to 3.33 as he awaits a possible callup to Minnesota when the major-league rosters expand to 40 on Sunday.
Hill, after shooting out to a 9-2 mark which was one of the best in the International League, endured a three-game losing streak sandwiched around a trip to the disabled list. His ERA is 2.81 as he too, awaits a possible recall to the parent Washington Nationals, though the Nats, who have an eight-game lead on the Atlanta Braves atop the National League East standings, could keep him in Syracuse for the IL playoffs.
Bennett, who lives in Lebanon after prepping at Gordonsville nearly 20 years ago, is 8-6 with a 3.95 ERA in 20 starts for the Dodgers' Triple-A affiliate, which plays many of its games, including its home contests, in thin-air ballparks which give the Pacific Coast League its reputation for offense. His next scheduled start is Wednesday night at Oklahoma City.

While it continues to enjoy the 300's success, Chrysler is about to launch an assault on the mid-size market with a thoroughly revamped Sebring sedan. The nondescript styling of the 2006 model is replaced by a unique design that carries cues from both the 300 and the Crossfire roadster, the interior has been overhauled and can be fitted with luxurious features such as touch-screen navigation and rear DVD entertainment, and power choices range from an economical 172-horsepower four-cylinder to a 235-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 joined to a new six-speed transmission. As a package, it would appear that the new Sebring is poised to make a lasting impression on mid-size sedan shoppers.
Production of the 2007 Chrysler Sebring is currently under way, so look for the first examples to hit your town before year's end. Base, Touring, and Limited trim levels will be available.
Why it matters
Though it will likely continue as an ever-present fixture of the airport scene, the redesigned 2007 Chrysler Sebring Sedan (the Sebring convertible is coming a bit later, and is rumored to have a retractable hardtop) bucks the round bubble styling trend, looking to attract buyers who desire unique style as well as substance, much like the larger 300 sedan did when it was launched. To that end, a bold Crossfire-ish front end has been added along with desirable features such as a rear DVD system and a touch-screen navigation system. Taken as a whole, it's possible that the 2007 Chrysler Sebring could become a part of the family and not just an appliance enjoyed during Florida vacations.
What's under the hood
Three engines will be available in the redesigned 2007 Chrysler Sebring sedan: a 2.4-liter four-cylinder, a 2.7-liter V6, and a 3.5-liter V6. The smallest of the three, the so-called World Engine, features variable valve timing, 172 horsepower, and an expected four-percent gain in fuel economy with a four-speed automatic transmission directing power to the front wheels. One notch up is the 2.7-liter V6, offering 190 horsepower and 190 lb.-ft. of torque, again mated to a four-speed automatic. At the top of the food chain is the 3.5-liter V6, boasting 235 horsepower and 232 lb.-ft. of torque, bolted to a new six-speed automatic transmission with Chrysler's AutoStick manual-mode feature. Available only in Limited trim, the 2007 Sebring's biggest six-cylinder is expected to produce 0-60 mph times that are among the best in the mid-size sedan class. All engines will be built in either Kenosha, Wisc., or Dundee, Mich., while the Sebring will be assembled in Sterling Heights, Mich.
What's inside
Regardless of which items the Sebring buyer chooses to select, this new ride will be delivered with a two-tone interior colored in Pastel Slate Gray or Pastel Pebble Beige. Specific to Limited models is a leather Cream and Pebble Beige color scheme with optional Tortoise Shell, Satin Silver, Alloy Silver, or Chrome accents.
Adding comfort and safety is a driver's seat situated more than two inches higher than the 2006 Sebring for a better view of the road, standard side-curtain airbags, front-side airbags, electronic stability control with traction control and brake assist, and a tire pressure monitor.

Romney Supports Conscience Bill
7:15 PM, Feb 29, 2012 • By JOHN MCCORMACK
Earlier today, a reporter in Ohio said the following to Mitt Romney:
Romney replied:
Prior to the release of the transcript of the interview, there were breathless blog posts and Tweets that Romney didn't support the Blunt amendment--the bill that would restore the conscience protections that existed before Obamacare. It was hard to believe Romney would take that position on a bill strongly supported by Republicans (and some Democrats). Romney has been talking about Obamacare's assault on religious freedom since his January 31 Florida victory speech (here's a February 3 op-ed he published in the Washington Examiner on the issue).
Indeed, the transcript makes it clear that Romney was responding to the reporter's incredibly erroneous description of the bill as a "ban" on contraception. "Regarding the Blunt bill, the way the question was asked was confusing. Governor Romney supports the Blunt Bill because he believes in a conscience exemption in health care for religious institutions and people of faith," said Romney spokeperson Andrea Saul. Clearly, the reporter did mangle the question, and Romney personally affirmed his support for the bill during a radio interview this evening.
How much is it Romney's fault that he didn't hear the reporter say "Blunt-Rubio" and correct the reporter's mischaracterization of the bill? Not much. Imagine if there were a bill to repeal parts of the Patriot Act, and a reporter asked a Democratic presidential candidate: "Do you support Senator X's bill to give terrorists all the rights of American citizens?" If the Democrat said "no," most people would understand it was the reporter's fault for mischaracterizing the bill, and not the Democrat's fault for failing to remember what "Senator X's" bill would do.
Politicians are supposed to know their positions on issues, not which particular senators are supporting particular bills. In the past, Romney has wrongly tried to blame a gaffe or two on the press, but in this case bad journalism was almost entirely to blame.

BAYARD >> The Cobre High baseball team picked up a couple of road wins, and one of them was a district victory. The Indians downed Tularosa, 9-3, and then beat New Mexico Military Institute, 12-4.
Against the Wildcats, Andy Gomez and Justin Diaz hit bombs in the top of the seventh to seal the game for the Indians. Cobre was ahead 4-3 at the time, and then added five runs in the seventh for some added insurance.
"We came out flat and everything went right for them," head coach Artie Sanchez said. "We battled and got a huge road victory."
Tularosa led, 3-1 until the top of the third. The Indians scored two runs to tie the game and then added a single run in the fifth inning to take the lead.
Hitting for Cobre were Diaz, 3-for-4, with a homer and two RBIs; Gomez, 1-for-3, with a homer and three RBIs; Willie Fletcher, 2-for-3, with a double; Hondo Tovar, 1-for-3, with a triple; and Claudio Salinas, 3-for-4, with three doubles and an RBI.
Tovar pitched four innings, and allowed seven hits, while striking out four and walking two batters. Jordan Benfield went three innings and walked one, while striking out three.
Against the Colts, Cobre scored runs in every inning to pick up the victory. The Indians led, 6-0, after three, but NMMI countered with four in the third to make it a close game. Cobre then answered with three in the fourth and single runs in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings to get the win.
Chico Perez went the distance, allowing four hits, while striking out eight and walking six batters.
Hitting for Cobre were Fletcher, 2-for-3, with an RBI; Gomez, 1-for-4, with an RBI; Robert Rodriguez, 1-for-3, with an RBI; Cavin Roberson, 2-for-3, with a double, a triple and an RBI; Diaz, 2-for-3, with a double, a triple and three RBIs; Benfield, 1-for-2, with a double and an RBI; Salinas, 3-for-5, with a triple and two RBIs.
"We came out aggressive and ran the bases well," Sanchez said. "We just have to continue to execute our short game and force the other teams into errors."

BMW is recalling more than a half-million cars in the U-S due to possible power failure and engine stalling.
Apparently, a battery cable that supplies power to the vehicle's fuse box can wear out and cause problems.
The recall affects BMW's 1-series, 3-series and Z4 models. Some made as early as 2007 and as late as last year.
BMW has known about the problem since July 2010.
Initially the carmaker issued a service bulletin instructing dealers how to fix the problem but later decided to issue a full recall.

You heard me right, ladies! Anthropologie – a Bohemian beauty's fashion dream come true – has recently announced the launch of their antique-chic and highly hipster line of wedding dresses and accessories!
The spin-off shop, BHLDN (pronounced "Beholden"), is linked directly from their main site and has been causing "ooh's and aww's" since its launch on Monday, February 14 (aka Valentine's Day, aka a day for lovers!) But this 24 carat nugget of golden information has left me with paradoxical pangs of bittersweet in my belly.
Why, bittersweet? You may ask…
Well, the sweetness comes in because A) I love love love me some Anthropologie diggs and B) with modern day weddings doing all kinds of rewinds back to vintage valor, no one could possibly dress a bride to impress better than Anthro-to-the-pologie!
So how could there possibly be a bitter? You might continue…
That's easy. Because unlike all my bride-to-be beauties out there right now, I'm already hitched and can't capitalize on this gem! Haha!
For cereal, their stuff is increds! Their gowns range in price from $600 to $4000, and it would be best if you didn't even get me started on the accessories! If you're a lady in waiting looking to be the ultimate vintage vixen, you needn't look any further than their line of shut-up-these-SHOES-are-increds, jazztastic jewelry, couture cover-ups, ooh la la lingerie or adorably unique hair adornments!
Don't believe me? Go their yourself or simply check out the sampling below:

Google launched Google Currents with much fanfare, but completely failed to come up with a product that works. Yes, it does not work, just like Gmail app that GOogle released a few weeks back. Google came up with Google Currents to take on Flipboard and Pulse for reading news socially. At least that was Google's intention, but it was half baked and is not working from the word go. Google currents is not a failure because it crashes at odd time. But it does not work at all.
Once you install, Google Currents asks you to sign in using a Google ID and offers tips to navigate through the options. And then it asks you to choose what want to read from a number of sources. Thats it, it stops working after that. Whatever your favorite sources that you added is simply not there.
Google Currents Support: In Theory
The worst part is, if you are a good person and wants to let Google know the problem, Google does not seem to want to hear the problem with Google Currents. At Google Currents page on Apple App Store, Google has a link for Google Currents Support and it is broken and comes up with page not available. For sure it makes you wonder how did Apple allow this.
Google probably know abou this non-performance issue of Google Currents, but has not come up with any statement so far.
Google Currents, yet another "me too" product was launched just a few days after Flipboard launched a brilliant app for iPhones. It makes one wonder why all this hurry, when it was kept a secret project for a long time.
News hungry, newtizens, Go Flipboard and Pulse!

1. When I work/play outdoors, my hair naturally becomes sun-bleached. Since the gentleman's beard in question was likely grown after the hair, and he plays in SF, there is a likelihood that the hair has seen too much california sun

2. As a former member of some not-so-high level sports teams, I can tell you that hair dye is not just a ladies product. Teams/teammates often do some crazy things with their hair.

Matt, it's tough to say - like you said, some guys have totally different coloured beards than their actual hair, but my suspicion is that's Just for Men in Wilson's beard. No way it's THAT black on it's own.

Facial hair often doesn't match head hair colour. I am very blond, but my beard has a distinct brownish tinge (with a hint of ginger).

As a self proclaimed beard afficianado, this contest is close. If Bautista would do a better job at keeping the neck beard at bay he would win hands down. Although he would probably have to shave twice a day. The best way to settle this would be to have them both shave at the same time and compare growth email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7069118812751480198.post-42420701438728258112010-10-06T11:04:38.183-04:002010-10-06T11:04:38.183-04:00Brian Wilson doesn't even have the best beard ...Brian Wilson doesn't even have the best beard in the Giants' pen!
