|Spatial heterogeneity of myocardial perfusion predicts local potassium channel expression and action potential duration.

|PMID: 18006439 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|AIMS: In the heart, there is not only a transmural gradient of left ventricular perfusion and action potential duration (APD), but also spatial heterogeneity within each myocardial layer, where local blood flow and energy turnover vary more than three-fold between individual regions. We analysed at high spatial resolution whether a corresponding heterogeneity also extends to ion channel gene expression and APD. METHODS AND RESULTS: In the open-chest beagle dog, left ventricular 300 microL samples of very low or high flow were identified by radioactive microspheres and expression levels determined by quantitative PCR. The distribution of epicardial APD was assessed by mapping local activation repolarization intervals (ARIs) and QT interval (QT). ERG, the potassium channel mediating IKr, and KChIP2, the interacting protein modulating Ito, were increased in Low flow (3.3- and 2.5-fold, P < 0.001 and <0.05, respectively; n = 6 hearts, 30-31 samples each) as compared with High flow areas. This suggested enhanced repolarizing currents in Low flow areas, and in consequence, mathematical model analysis predicted a shorter local APD upon enhanced ERG and IKr. Epicardial mapping revealed a patchy, temporally stable APD pattern (n = 11), a small apico-basal gradient and an APD prolongation induced by the ERG blocker dofetilide predominantly in areas of short basal ARI or QT, respectively (n = 9). In addition, in Short QT areas, ERG expression was three-fold increased (P < 0.05, n = 4). CONCLUSION: The spatial pattern of perfusion is matched by the novel patterns of K+ channel expression and APD. Whenever this newly recognized intramural dispersion of APD increases, it may contribute to arrhythmogenesis.

Foster still vying for world's largest airport - but Rogers, Hadid and HOK miss out
Foster + Partners remains the only British practice in the running to design the world's largest airport at Daxing, 46km south of Beijing
The AJ can reveal that the largest architectural practice in the UK (see AJ100) has made the final three in the high-profile competition in China which was launched last year.
The other finalists are Chinese team CACC/Beijing Institute of Architectural Design and France's ADPI, part of the Aéroports de Paris Group.
The much-anticipated decision by China's Civil Aviation Engineering Consulting Company spells the end for bids by HOK, which teamed up with Dutch airport specialist Naco, Zaha Hadid Architects with Pascall + Watson, and Rogers Stirk Harbour with Arup.
The project – which will be four times larger than Heathrow and will have nine runways when complete – was originally scheduled to open in 2017 with the capacity to serve 200 million passengers a year.
Foster and Arup only took the wraps off the new Terminal 3 building at Beijing Capital International Airport (pictured) four years ago however due to China's growing use of air travel the airport, which is the second busiest in the world, is already at full capacity.
A future timescale for the project is yet to be revealed.

Willows Park in Mt. Pleasant undergoes renovations
Willows Park in Mt. Pleasant is getting a facelift as work continues to expand the parking areas and to enhance other features there, borough officials said.
"We want to attract more families to come and use the park and the facilities," said borough Mayor Jerry Lucia. "It's getting a much-needed upgrade."
Employees of the borough's street department have been completing the parking area expansion, which involves removal of portions of the park's west bank and the placement of additional stone for spaces.
"We're working now and we'll continue as long as the weather allows us to," said Dan Dean, an employee of the borough's street department. "The parking area is going to be bigger and it's going to be much more uniform."
There were also additional parking spaces added to the uppermost end of the park.
"There have been issues with the parking at Willows from time to time over the years, and we are hoping that all the new parking will help to alleviate that problem," Landy said.
The borough is covering the cost of materials required to create the new parking areas, Landy said.
The park has been a family spot for decades, borough officials said.
They hope that, with the planned upgrades, more families will use the two pavilions that are located there.
"We are planning to upgrade the electric (wiring) in the big pavilion," said borough Manager Jeff Landy. "That was an issue and we are hoping that the new upgrades will solve that problem."
The borough also plans to replace the restroom facilities located near the pavilions.
"We want to build new restrooms that will be more easily accessible," Lucia said. "The ones that we have now have always been a problem for the elderly and for the handicapped. We want to build ones that are closer and easier for everyone to walk to."
The borough plans to purchase the necessary materials for the new restrooms, Landy said, but borough officials are hoping they can make arrangements for a volunteer group or organization to perform the required labor at no cost.
"We are making some contacts and looking into ways that would help to defer the costs," Landy said. "They need replaced. It's difficult for people to walk up that hill."
Lucia said it's a priority of borough officials to keep the borough's parks maintained.
"We want to keep doing what we can, when we can, to keep our parks nice and family-friendly," Lucia said. "We have some great parks here in Mt. Pleasant and we want to keep making them better for everyone to enjoy."

|Head ultrasonograhy as a screening tool in apparently healthy asymptomatic term neonates.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21446229 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND: The rate of brain abnormalities in asymptomatic term neonates varies substantially in previous studies. Some of these rates may justify general screening of healthy newborns by head ultrasound (HUS).
OBJECTIVES: To assess the incidence of intracranial abnormalities among asymptomatic term newborns with HUS and to detect high-risk populations that might need such screening.
METHODS: This was a prospective study in 493 term newborns who underwent HUS and a neurological evaluation during the first 3 days of life. The neurological examination results were unknown to the sonographist and the examiner was blinded to the HUS findings. The abnormal HUS findings were classified as significant or non-significant according to the current literature.
RESULTS: Abnormal HUS was found in 11.2% of the neonates. Significant findings were noted in 3.8% of the infants. There was no association between non-structural HUS findings (hemorrhage or echogenicity) and mode of delivery. There was no relationship between any HUS abnormality and birth weight, head circumference and maternal age, ethnicity, education or morbidity. The rate of abnormal neurological, hearing or vision evaluation in infants with a significant abnormal HUS (5.2%) was comparable to the rate in infants with normal or non-significant findings on HUS (3.1%).
CONCLUSIONS: There is no indication for routine HUS screening in apparently healthy term neonates due to the relatively low incidence of significant brain abnormalities in these infants in our population.

Ten oldest federal information requests
Jan. 31, 1987: James D. Sanders asked the National Security Council for documents related to U.S. prisoners of war in Laos, China, Vietnam and the Soviet Union. After four years, the request was transferred to the Defense Department.
May 29, 1987: The National Security Archive asked the Central Intelligence Agency for documents relating to the Jonathan Pollard spy case. Pollard was a former U.S. Naval intelligence officer convicted of being an Israeli agent and in 1986 received a life sentence for espionage.
March 3, 1988: Author Jeffrey Richelson asked the National Security Council for copies of five presidential review memoranda. The request was transferred to the Defense Department in 1990.
Early 1989: Then-graduate student William Aceves made four substantially identical requests to the Defense Department pertaining to the Freedom of Navigation program.
Nov. 22, 1989: The Syracuse, N.Y., Post-Standard newspaper asked the CIA for records pertaining to the bombing of Pan American Flight 103 and terrorist threats at the Frankfurt, Germany, airport.
January 1990: William Burr of the National Security Archive made two requests to the Air Force for information on the Berlin crisis in 1958 and 1959.
March 9, 1990: Burr asked the National Archives and Records Administration for specific Joint Chiefs of Staff documents relating to Berlin in 1959-62.
July 16, 1990: The Natural Resources Defense Council asked the Energy Department for documents related to the Radiological Warfare Study Group established in February 1948 by the Armed Forces Special Weapons Project, as well as documents related to a panel on radiological warfare that met in May 1948.
Jan. 7, 1991: Richelson asked the CIA for a copy of the CIA response to National Security Decision Directive 112.
Feb. 25, 1991: A New York law firm, Windels, Marx, Davies & Ives, asked the CIA for information regarding intelligence received in 1988 relating to terrorist plans to attack Frankfurt, Heathrow or Gatwick airports, information regarding specific individuals possibly related to the incident and documents relating to the technical details of the bombing of Pan American Flight 103.

Already bad and getting even worse. That's the state of getting information from the federal government.
The Freedom of Information Act guarantees that citizens have the right to receive information from their government simply by asking for it. The only exceptions are supposed to be records that involve national security or private information about an individual or business.
But delays have become commonplace and are getting more frequent. That's a disservice to the American public.
According to an analysis of annual FOIA reports between 1998 and 2005, the number of records requests pending at the federal government's 15 executive agencies increased 24 percent in the 2004 fiscal year over the previous year to 147,810. Nine of those agencies had increased backlogs of unfilled requests. The agencies' median response time ranges from three months to more than four years.
The analysis also found that the FBI, CIA and Defense departments continued a trend of releasing a decreasingly lower percentage of requested records. The FBI gave complete information to just six out of every 1,000 applicants in 2005, down from 50 out of 1,000 in 1998. And the CIA released complete information in 11 percent of 2004 requests, down from 44 percent in 1998.
Though the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks surely play a role in that decrease as did a policy by then-Atty. Gen. John Ashcroft that agencies more carefully consider national security issues when deciding whether to release a record the AP found that it actually has been decreasing for at least the last seven years.
In December, President Bush issued an executive order that called for agencies to streamline requests and appoint chief FOIA officers in each agency. But the agencies have been no surprise slow to respond.
It all shows that the federal government doesn't take the Freedom of Information Act seriously. That's why the public and Congress need to increase the pressure to make government agencies abide by the law.
Those are our requests they're delaying or ignoring. Those are our rights they're casting aside.

Hoover Library presents Set Momjian's White House china collection
White House china collector Set Momjian will be speaking at the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library and Museum on October 6 at 2 p.m. about some of his pieces currently on display in the exhibit "Dining with the President."
Momjian is well known for having the largest collection of White House china outside of the White House. He has pieces from every Presidential collection, which he acquired in a variety of ways.
A retired Ford Motor Company executive, Momjian served as a representative to the United Nations under the Carter administration. He would later serve as Presidential adviser to the past five administrations, starting with the Johnson administration. He has enjoyed personal friendships with Presidents and First Ladies.
But Momjian didn't set out to be a collector of White House china. He began collecting china by accident in the 1950s, when dealers included pieces of china along with the Presidential letters and documents he was collecting. As his collection of porcelain pieces grew, he came to appreciate the historical significance and beauty of each piece. Eventually, he began to seek out the personal china patterns of First Ladies as well.

If you have served in the military or worked for the Federal Government, your personnel file is held at the National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) in St. Louis, Missouri. More than 34 million files are held in this facility, filling 2.3 million cubic feet of records on 385,000 shelves. There are 6.2 billion feet of paper in the military records alone.
About 600 full-time staff work in St. Louis. In 2011, the NPRC received 1,093,522 written requests for records, about 3,000 requests per day. They have received about 889,283 so far in 2012.
This part of the National Archives provides vital services to veterans. Former servicemen and women can use the documentation in their files to receive veterans benefits (form DD-214), help with replacement medals, or receive a military burial.
Not all the records in the NPRC are held in the permanent archives. Records with a discharge date of 1950 or earlier are archival records and are open to the public. But records from 1951 are non-archival, so they are restricted for privacy. Usually only the veteran or the next-of-kin can access these files.

It was one of those rare evenings when Lisa Howard-Fusco and her husband, John, had a baby sitter for their 10-year-old son and 4-year-old daughter.
Out for an elegant dinner at Swedesboro's brand-swanky-new Tavro 13, the pair spotted a family - with kids! - in the eatery's bar area. Inwardly, Lisa cheered.
If the timing is right, and the children are well-behaved, why not expose youngsters to upscale food? ...

ANGOLA, Ind. - A year ago Jaylon Smith started to emerge as arguably the most important recruit of the Brian Kelly era. Now the five-star linebacker might be the program's biggest commitment.
Not often does an elite defensive prospect pop up within a two-hour drive of campus. The Irish coaching staff identified Smith last summer and extended an offer at the beginning of his junior year.
Notre Dame hosted Smith last season during the USC weekend. Kelly attended one of Smith's basketball games at Bishop Luers. Smith visited the Irish each of the past three months and is slated to return on June 14. This time the five-star linebacker will be an Irish commitment.
Smith brought his recruitment to a close Saturday, pledging to Notre Dame during the R.A.S. Football Camp at Trine University outside his hometown of Fort Wayne. Smith chose the Irish over Ohio State and USC.
"Honestly, it was really just so close to home," Smith said about the factors that sold him on the Irish. "It's about an hour and 40 minutes away. Every athlete wants to stay close to their mother. That really played a big part. And just opportunity. I really don't have any fear of any athlete. I think I can play wherever I chose to ... I believe they have three starting linebackers leaving my incoming year. So it's just a great opportunity just to get this over with."
Irish Illustrated attended the event along with multiple college coaches, including Irish assistant Mike Elston.
Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Purdue, Tennessee and Texas A&M were the other programs to offer.
Smith visited Notre Dame several times starting last summer during a 7-on-7 tournament. Most recently he returned with his father for one of a few spring visits to South Bend.
Back when Notre Dame offered, Smith had an idea of how hard they would make pursuit. Defensive line coach and Indiana recruiter Mike Elston drove the point home last fall.
"He said like other schools they were going to concentrate on me," Smith told IrishIllustrated.com in September. "They did their research and evaluated me and found out my academics were high and good. On the field and off the field everything was (good) so they gave me an offer."
Rivals.com rates Smith the top outside linebacker in the country and No. 4 prospect overall in the latest Rivals100. Only defensive end Robert Nkemdiche, inside linebacker Reuben Foster and cornerback Kendall Fuller rate higher.
Notre Dame now counts 13 commitments total, Smith being its only five-star pledge.
Kelly has signed at least one five-star prospect in each of his full recruiting classes. Defensive end Stephon Tuitt and outside linebacker Ishaq Williams earned five stars in the Class of 2011 while quarterback Gunner Kiel had such accolades last recruiting cycle.
Smith ranks as the second-highest rated prospect to commit to Notre Dame during the Rivals.com era, dating back to the 2002 recruiting class. Only No. 1 overall prospect Jimmy Clausen rated above Smith.

The Postseason Has Arrived For Knoxville Wrestlers
Posted By Sports On February 2, 2013 @ 5:59 am In Today's Local Sports | Comments Disabled
The Knoxville Wrestling Squad embarks on the postseason today as the Panthers travel to Albia for the Class 2A Sectional. The Panthers finished off the regular season on Tuesday with three easy wins to raise their dual meet record to 15-8 on the season. However, this is a traditional meet where Coach Ron Peterson has said all season that he thinks his team is built for the traditional meets. He adds the Sectional in Albia is no easy task. Joining the Panthers will be Albia, Centerville, Chariton, Davis County, Grinnell and Chariton. The top two wrestlers in each weight class advance to the district next week in Knoxville. The top two teams will advance to the Class 2A Regional Duals next week at a site to be determined. The Sectional gets underway at noon.

Use of Ancillary Service Endorsements for Mailing Certain Types of Checks
We are withdrawing in today's Federal Register a proposal to require ancillary service endorsements on Standard Mail pieces containing certain types of checks. We published our proposal in the Federal Register on October 27, 2004. The proposed revision was intended to protect postal customers.
We received comments from the financial industry discussing a number of safeguards for customers that reduce the incidence of fraud and the misuse of information on these checks. We have concluded that the requirements in our proposal are unnecessary.

As for Brookfield making a hostile bid for WND, without including WND management in the process, I would just prefer a less messy solution. Although a hostile takeover may preclude the buyout bonuses being paid to WND management.
Gawd, this is like some kind of funky movie!

Hello Shawna,
Was this income from a regular job or was it from self employment?
Have any taxes been withheld from your paychecks? If so, how much?
Have any taxes been withheld from your paychecks?
If so, how much tax has been withheld?
Hello again Shawna,

Tale of Two Bartholomews
The idea of colonization languished until 1602 when Captain Bartholomew Gilbert, son of Sir Humphrey, was the next family member to make the attempt. In company with Co-Captain Bartholomew Gosnold, Gilbert sailed out of Dartmouth England in March of 1602 with thirty-two men in all. On their small ship, Concord, they crossed the North Atlantic in six weeks by a route dramatically shorter than any used before, arriving on the southern Maine coast on May 14. They made at least some contact with the Native American population, which they were able to discern had enough contact with Spanish fishermen on the Grand Banks to speak pidgin Basque with foreigners. Then they sailed south and were the first English to arrive at Cape Cod, naming it for the great schools of the fish they found there. In short order they encountered and explored Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, and the Elizabeth Islands, naming them and many places or natural features on them all.
|Engraved illustration of Bartholomew Gosnold landing and offering trade goods to the native people
They sailed as far west as what we now call Buzzard's Bay and set up camp on Cuttyhunk Island. There they planted an experimental garden, and established friendly contact with the native tribes with whom they traded for food and a great deal of sassafras which was valued in England. Gilbert and Gosnold decided to establish a colony. When provisions and equipment were inventoried, however, they were found insufficient to sustain both a colony and the Concord's return to England. The garden's plants, nine inches tall just two weeks after planting, were noted as an indication of extremely fertile soil; then all hands packed up and sailed back to England where the sassafras sold for a handsome profit.
Bartholomew Gilbert was at sea again in 1603 in a ship provided by uncle Sir Walter Raleigh, charged with exploring the Carolina barrier islands for any sign of the Lost Colonists of Roanoke. Captain Gilbert sailed first to the Caribbean to cut and load twenty tons of lignum vitae wood to pay for the voyage, after which he proceeded north. He overshot the Carolinas and on July 29 he and his crew became the first Englishmen to enter Chesapeake Bay, a name he transliterated from the Native American K'tchisipik. A landing on the Eastern Shore, today also known as the Delmarva Peninsula, ended in disaster as Gilbert and two other men were killed in a skirmish with a native tribe. Survivors of the attack retreated to the ship and returned immediately to England. It would be four more years before another attempt at colonization could be organized, funded and staffed.

Connellsville woman displays her musical talents in Europe
Connellsville native Chelsea Ritenour recently made her professional opera debut in Germany.
The 22-year-old daughter of Chelsea and Shelly Ritenour of Connellsville was hired through a James Madison University program that takes a small group of students to Freiberg, Germany. The students and recent graduates perform in the student productions, outreach concerts and a large festival concert with orchestra at the end of the program. A chosen few, like Ritenour, are hired to perform in the professional summer production.
"I'm obviously more than proud that at 22 years old she got to make her professional debut in Germany," Shelly Ritenour said. "Everything just seems to be falling into place for her the way it needs to."
Ritenour performed the lead role of Arsena with the professional theater in the operetta "Der Zigeunerbaron" by Johann Strauss, and the role of Belinda in the student production of "Dido and Aeneas" by Henry Purcell.
"The experience was amazing! I got to study German, begin my professional career, sing concert pieces with a full orchestra and experience a true professional environment for the first time," Chelsea Ritenour said.
The group also partook in German language coaching sessions, voice lessons and vocal coaching sessions with the in-house German conductor, Raoul Grüneis.
"My second day there, I started rehearsal for the professional production and was a little shocked to find that the director and music directors barely spoke English. The entire rehearsal process was in German and only three people in the main cast spoke English. It was a lot to process at first, but fun, and I ended up being very happy that I was thrown into a situation like that. It forced me to learn new vocabulary in the quickest way possible and really sharpened the German language skills that I already had," Chelsea Ritenour said.
She performed at the Mittelsaechsisches Theater in Freiberg, the Döbeln Theater, the Seebühne in Kriebstein, and multiple churches and castles in the nearby areas of Germany.
"I was kept extremely busy, but I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. Being treated as a professional American singer overseas is an opportunity and experience I will never forget," she said.
Chelsea Ritenour is a graduate of Connellsville Area High School and graduated from Carnegie Mellon University this past spring with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Vocal Performance. She said she actually had to miss her graduation ceremony because she had to leave for Germany a week earlier than expected.
"It was a little bittersweet that she didn't get to take part in her graduation ceremony but at the same time she was blessed with this great opportunity," Shelly Ritenour said.
Chelsea Ritenour said she was bitten by the performance bug at a very early age.
"My first performance was in kindergarten at the South Side Elementary talent show. I was obsessed with 'The Little Mermaid' and was set on singing 'Part of Your World.' I practiced for weeks singing along to my Disney princess CDs. The big day came and I stood on stage confident as could be in my Little Mermaid costume with props and accessories all around me. I told my mom that it wasn't good enough for me to just stand there and sing the song. I actually had to become Ariel. I think it was at that moment I knew I wanted to sing," Chelsea Ritenour said.
She said she tried other activities like sports, gymnastics and dance and enjoyed them, "but nothing seemed to satisfy me the way singing on stage did."
"My mom took notice to my singing abilities and we decided to look into performing art schools that would allow me to thrive artistically," she said.
At age 10, she began taking musical theater classes at Stage Right! School for the Performing Arts in Greensburg.
"I remember being really nervous at first but I loved the end product of performing an entire musical on stage," she said.
Two years later, she began taking private voice lessons with Katerina Musetti of Greensburg.
"I remember singing my first classical piece of music, 'Caro Mio Ben,' which I learned at my first lesson with her. I had absolutely no idea what I was singing but I remember feeling an immediate connection to it," Chelsea Ritenour said.
She said at the end of her first lesson, Musetti and her late husband David Musetti told her she was meant to be an opera singer.
"When I heard the natural vibrato and beautiful color of her voice, I knew she was going to sing opera. My voice teacher and mentor, the iconic diva Renata Tebaldi, instilled within me the ability to understand the voice, spirit and temperament of individuals while instilling technique and discipline within each unique artist. I knew Chelsea had all the required attributes necessary for opera from the first time I worked with her," Musetti said.
Eventually, Chelsea Ritenour chose opera over musical theater.
"The more I studied, I felt a stronger connection to classical music. My junior year of high school, I decided that it was time to completely commit to just classical music, and I made the full transition to opera at 16," she said.
Musetti has continued to work with Chelsea Ritenour during the past 10 years. She said she was extremely proud of her student for making her professional debut this summer but not surprised by her success.
"Chelsea's grand instrument and formidable vocal technique combined with her incredible memorization skills, and dedication to her art, are the elements required to secure such roles at such a young age," Musetti said.
Chelsea Ritenour studied music theory, sight reading and rhythm classes with Gayle Cuneo and at the Atkins Music Center. "It proved to be a very wise decision as Mrs. Cuneo really helped prepare me for the academic side of music. I also got to kick back and have a little fun taking guitar lessons with Dave Petrone in my spare time, also at Atkins," she said.
Prior to college, Chelsea Ritenour performed many roles including Demeter in "Cats," Cosette in "Les Miserables," and Belle in "Beauty and the Beast" with Stage Right. She was seen by local audiences as Johanna in "Sweeney Todd" and Cassie in "A Chorus Line" at the Geyer Performing Arts Center. She played Luisa in The Pretty Good Theatre Company's production of "The Fantasticks." She is also remembered for her portrayal of Peter Pan in "Peter Pan" at CAHS and has performed at many weddings in the area.
While at Carnegie Mellon, she studied voice with Daniel Teadt and was chosen for three lead roles her junior and senior year there, including, Cinderella in "Into the Woods," Laurie in "The Tender Land" and Miss Wordsworth in "Albert Herring."
She sang the entire Carmina Burana by Carl Orff at Carnegie Hall in New York City.
She said she plans to continue studying opera and go to graduate school. She has moved to New York City to begin school at the Mannes College the New School for Music, a music conservatory in the upper west side of Manhattan.
"I'm extremely excited to start this new chapter in my life and can't wait to see what opportunities lay ahead in New York City," she said.
While in Germany, Ritenour started a Facebook page to document and share her German performances. The page can be found at www.facebook.com/critenour.

Set Aside the Zen Jobs
The recipe in my last newsletter involved pitting cherries.
This solicited a lot of questions regarding a quicker way to pit a cherry. While there are some cherry pitters out there that function pretty well, but you won't find one in my apartment for two reasons:
First, I live in a little one-bedroom apartment in New York City. I don't have a lot of extra space for tools that serve one purpose.
Secondly, some jobs in the kitchen just don't fall under the quick meal, good food fast category. Certain chores I prefer to reserve for sitting down, maybe over a glass of wine, and enjoying with some conversation. An undertaking that takes you away from the heat of the kitchen with the type of relaxed repetition that is over before you know it and if you do it right, before you want it to be. This takes the "job" out of cooking, and lightens the load of the groundwork for what is usually well worth the effort.
Every fall I get together with a couple of friends to make Concord Grape Jam. To do so requires a considerable amount of time spent separating the flesh from the skins one grape at a time. An arduous task whose monotony is muffled by the company of my friends and a little alcohol.
So next time you foresee a dreadful monotonous assignment on your to do list, stop yourself from weaseling out of it by buying pre-prepared stuff, a special tool, or omitting the chore altogether. Instead, enlist a friend and pull up a chair. When the paycheck is booze, there is usually no shortage of helpers and you'll enjoy the process more yourself.

I like to do tasks like this while also watching cooking channels on tv. Makes the time go by faster. By the way, I picked up a tip to use a wire paper clip that you distort slightly as sort of a cherry hook. You insert and hook the pit easily, and this speeds it up.ReplyDelete

Thanks for the words of wisdom! My sister, mom and I are taking on the tedious task of removing husks, blanching, and freezing 12 dozen ears of corn tomorrow (an annual event that always provides great memories). Maybe we'll try adding the booze this year!ReplyDelete

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky speaks to reporters on Capitol Hill on Tuesday.
- Filed Under
WASHINGTON - One reason Washington optimists say President Obama and congressional leaders will cut a deal to avoid the "fiscal cliff" at the end of the year is confidence that despite the public disagreements, there are private negotiations moving along behind closed doors.
Don't bet on it, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Tuesday. "Frankly, I thought we would be accomplishing more in the real talks that are going on privately, but I can tell you - being aware of those - that there's nothing going on privately that's not going on publicly," he said. "We've wasted an ...

Just got a scouting report on Chad Ochocinco, and this one isn't from someone in the Patriots' organization or someone who studied him on film. It's from someone who coached the guy, and his take on the Ochocinco-to-New England move dovetails with most everyone else.
"He's going to the perfect place," he said. "It's the best possible place for him because he will fear the people there, and they have the right guys to keep him in place."
Reports indicated the Bengals gained two "late-round picks" in return, but a source close to the team on Friday told me those picks are fifth and sixth-rounders -- a price that made the Bengals comfortable. So, let's see if I have this straight, the Patriots paid a fourth-rounder for Randy Moss and a fifth-and-sixth for Chad Ochocinco? That's a lot of talent, without a lot of loss.
We know what Tom Brady did for Moss after his short stint in Oakland. The question: Can he do the same for Ochocinco? I mean, the guy is 33 and failed to produce 1,000 yards in catches two of the past three years. So what, exactly, are the Patriots getting?
"He's still quick, and he can still separate," said the coach. "My question is how he plays without any courage, and, by that, I mean he won't run routes over the middle. I just don't know how you flip on a switch and get that going again. But the atmosphere will be so important for him. He's going to want to succeed."

We arrived just in time for the 1:30pm tour but we were so hungry we had lunch at the on-site restaurant. I had the best gumbo, or maybe I was just so hungry! We were able to get on the 2:30pm tour but had to leave a little early to catch the bus which left at 3:15. I did wish we had a little more time at the plantation. We also got to see additional historic homes and churches on the way, drive through the bayous, and over Lake Pontchartrain. It was a truly unique experience and I'm so glad we got outside the city for a day!

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Two men and a woman have been arrested in the killing of a man whose body was found in the back of a U-Haul truck in Santa Barbara County.
Santa Maria police Sgt. Mark Norling says 37-year-old Ramon Maldonado, 28-year-old Carmen Cardenas and 54-year-old Pedro Torres of Santa Maria were arrested Tuesday on suspicion of conspiracy and murder.
Norling says officers responded Monday afternoon to a home where evidence including blood indicated an assault had occurred.
On Tuesday, Santa Barbara Sheriff's deputies found a U-Haul truck officers had been searching for. Norling says in the back was a man's dead body. Officers ruled the death a homicide.
Norling says the man lives in Santa Maria but would not release more details because of the ongoing investigation.

RICK SMITH: 'Shep' never met a stranger
Launching a scholarship, honoring a scholar
SAN ANGELO, Texas - Many of us were shocked and saddened by the death of Derek Sheppard, a 21-year-old San Angeloan who died last month when his pickup struck the back of a tractor-trailer between Mertzon and Barnhart.
Reporter Jennifer Rios asked his friends and family members to describe "Shep," as he was known to his close friends.
"He would drop whatever he was doing, anytime, to help anybody, even a stranger," one friend said.
Derek was a pitcher for the Bobcats early in his high school career, and "all the guys loved him," Derek's former baseball coach said. "He was a team leader."
"He had a lot of people who knew and loved him," his sister added.
Some of those friends have created a scholarship in Shep's name.
The Derek "Shep" Sheppard Memorial Baseball Scholarship will help other young athletes attend college.
The San Angelo Area Foundation now is accepting donations for the fund.
You can donate by sending a check to the San Angelo Area Foundation, 2201 Sherwood Way, Suite 205, San Angelo, TX 76901-3081.
Make the check out to the San Angelo Area Foundation and write "Derek 'Shep' Sheppard Memorial Baseball Scholarship" on the memo line.
You also can donate online at saafound.org. For more information, call the foundation at 325-947-7071.
And if you're still having trouble, contact Dedra LaBarge Knox at 325-227-9192 or email@example.com.
There also is a Facebook page for the scholarship that includes information about fundraisers and pictures and stories about Derek.
Search on Facebook for "Derek Sheppard 'Shep' Memorial Baseball Scholarship."
"This is so wonderful," one of his friends wrote on the Facebook page. "Derek would love to help someone be successful in the sport he was so passionate about."
Welcome home, Pat!
One of San Angelo's best and brightest former residents returns Friday for Angelo State University's Alumni Homecoming Dinner.
Ewell E. "Pat" Murphy Jr., who attended San Angelo Junior College from 1943 to 1945, will be honored as the Golden Ex of the Year.
One of only two Rhodes Scholars so far to come out of San Angelo, he received his undergraduate and law degrees from the University of Texas at Austin.
He also added a Doctor of Philosophy degree from Oxford University, England, when he was there as a Rhodes Scholar.
"Pat," as he's called, is a retired senior partner of Baker Botts L.L.P. in Houston and, according to UT's law school, "is one of the most-respected transnational law specialists in Texas."
UT will honor him Oct. 25 at an inaugural lecture of its Center for Global Energy, International Arbitration and Environmental Law.
I had the good fortune to meet Pat a couple of years ago.
He was in San Angelo for a meeting of the Philosophical Society of Texas.
We had breakfast together, and the philosopher talked while I listened and learned.
Here's a tiny slice of what he discussed.
On planning for the future: "We think we're making the decisions, but I think events kind of push us around. Things happen to us. You don't know where you're going to go."
On this nation's strengths: "If we can just hold together — psychologically, politically, economically. If you stop to think about it, we are mixing the races and religions in this country better than any huge area I know of, and that's a pretty good thing, pretty strong, and we're really doing that without thinking about it too much. Mixing and mingling. I think that's very healthy."
Pet adoption
Animal rescuers from the Critter Shack are holding a pet adoption from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. today at PetSmart, 4439 Sunset Drive. Both dogs and cats are available.
In addition to possible adopters, the group's also looking for volunteers and foster families for pets.
Tuesday, they'll hold a bake sale benefit at the Wal-Mart on Sherwood Way beginning at 10 a.m.
They'll offer homemade pies, cakes and other desserts.

U.S., Mexico Sign Agreement for Joint Oil Exploration
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Mexican Foreign Minister Patricia Espinosa signed an agreement today for development of oil and gas reservoirs that straddle the two nations' boundaries in the Gulf of Mexico.
The agreement is the first of its kind signed by the U.S., establishing a legal framework and creating incentives for U.S. energy companies to develop oil and gas resources jointly with Petroleos Mexicanos, the Mexican state oil company known as Pemex. When it comes into force, the agreement will end the current moratorium on oil exploration and production in the Western Gap portion of the Gulf of Mexico.
"With this, we are setting aside the old fear that honestly exists among many Mexicans that Mexico's oil could be extracted from the other side," said Mexican President Felipe Calderon. "Any joint reservoir will be jointly exploited," and we will all gain the benefits.
U.S. Secretary of the Interior Kenneth Salazar called the agreement an historic step that "opens to door to previously off-limits areas in the Gulf of Mexico," an area larger than the state of Delaware.
'Under a Moratorium'
Salazar told reporters on a conference call that the area has "essentially been under a moratorium" because of the uncertainty about who owned the resources and how potential revenue would be shared.
"These reservoirs could hold considerable reserves that would benefit the United States and Mexico alike," Clinton said at the signing ceremony in Los Cabos, Mexico, on the sidelines of an informal meeting of Group of 20 foreign ministers. "But they don't necessarily stop neatly at our maritime boundary. This could lead to disputes if a company discovers a reservoir that straddles the boundary -- disputes, for example, over who should do the extraction and how much they should extract."
The agreement will help to resolve issues such as whether oil extracted from the Mexican side of the Gulf but sent directly to crude terminals in the U.S. is considered Pemex output and imported crude, and whether Mexico will charge royalties on it.
Both Sides Now
If no joint exploration deals are made between U.S. companies and Pemex, the agreement allows each side to exploit its share of hydrocarbons while protecting the other nation's interests, according to the U.S. State Department.
The agreement also allows for joint inspection teams to ensure compliance with safety laws and environmental rules. The U.S. would also help Mexico, which is interested in drilling in deeper waters, develop the capability to respond to spills, Salazar said.
A shortage of investment in technology, exploration and production, and a ban on private-sector involvement has hindered Mexico's petroleum production in recent years. Mexican law banned private companies from exploring, producing and refining crude oil until legislation championed by Calderon passed in 2008, allowing performance-based service contracts.
Calderon's government has said deep-water offshore exploration and production in regions such as the transboundary area may be Mexico's best chance to reverse declining output from the country's largest reserves.
Second-Largest Source
Mexico was the second-largest source of U.S. oil imports in 2010, exporting 1.3 million barrels a day to its northern neighbor, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
The oil sector generated 14 percent of Mexico's export earnings in 2010, according to Mexico's central bank, while oil earnings account for 32 percent of Mexican government revenue, according to the EIA.
At the G20 meeting yesterday, Clinton called on developed and emerging economies to eliminate unfair advantages in the global financial and trade systems, such as those enjoyed by state-owned enterprises and sovereign wealth funds.
Underscoring the "need to update the rules of the road" so businesses and economies compete on a level playing field, Clinton warned that free economies face an mounting challenge from "'state capitalism,'' which she defined as ''the rise of sovereign wealth and the growing presence and influence of state-owned and state-controlled enterprises that operate globally.''

|Effects of telmisartan on markers of ventricular remodeling in patients with acute myocardial infarction: comparison with enalapril.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20922537 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Enalapril is effective in the suppression of left ventricular remodeling after acute myocardial infarction (AMI), but the effect of telmisartan is unclear. The consecutive 163 AMI patients underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention and were randomized to telmisartan (n = 82) or enalapril (n = 81). Left ventriculography was performed in the acute and chronic (6 months) phases. Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 activities were measured by zymography in the acute (days 1, 7, and 14) and chronic (6 months) phases. Plasma pentraxin3 (PTX3), a marker of vascular inflammation, was also measured. There were no adverse effects in the telmisartan group. The analysis of the left ventriculograms in the acute and chronic phases revealed no difference between the two groups. MMP-9 activities at days 7 and 14 and in the chronic phase were decreased compared to that at day 1 in both groups. MMP-2 activity was also decreased in the acute phase, but increased in the chronic phase in both groups. There was no difference in the plasma PTX3 level in the acute phase, but in the chronic phase, PTX3 was significantly lower in telmisartan than in enalapril group (2.6 ± 1.4 vs. 3.2 ± 1.6 ng/ml, p = 0.04). Telmisartan is well tolerated, shows similar effects on the markers of left ventricular remodeling to those of enalapril, and suppresses vascular inflammation more effectively than enalapril in AMI patients. Telmisartan can be an alternative to angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor in patients with AMI.

The issue: Sunshine Week
Our view: Access lets you judge whether government gives you your money's worth
The issue: Sunshine Week
Our view: Access lets you judge whether government gives you your money's worth
Editor's note: Sunshine Week is the annual observance of the importance of access to public information and what it means for you and your community. Sunshine Week's national sponsors are the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, Bloomberg LP, the American Society of News Editors and the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press. Today: What government owes you as a citizen and taxpayer.
It's your government. And it's your money that's paying for it. You deserve to know how that money is being spent and whether waste, fraud, corruption, conflicts of interest or just bad decision-making is getting in the way of the results you expect for your money.
Customers every day demand accountability from the people who remodel their houses, serve them food, fix their cars or sell them a TV or a computer.
People demand their money's worth, especially when money is as tight as it is today.
Citizens should demand the same accountability — and more — of their government.
Are children being educated in a way that helps them succeed in life for their own good and the good of their fellow citizens?
Are the accused treated fairly by police and judges?
Are people getting the public safety and other services they should be?
Are contracts being awarded to those best-equipped to provide a good service at a reasonable price or to a company that costs too much and delivers too little but was chosen for improper reasons?
Are people who truly need help getting that help?
Journalists work hard to find answers to those questions and many more. So do parents. So do people who use and pay for government services.
Some good public servants provide that information readily. But often the search for answers is an uphill battle because other government officials prefer to operate in private so they can do what they want without as much oversight — sometimes because they have something to hide, sometimes because they think it's more efficient or easier to operate in secret.
And they have government resources to use against the efforts, while news organizations and citizens face shrinking budgets even as what's at stake in the fight between government openness and government secrecy grows.
Remember — it's your government and your money that is paying for it. You deserve to know what your government is doing, and you can be a part of making that possible.

UNITED BLOOD SERVICES: What a difference a pint makes
SAN ANGELO, Texas - "You can't describe the influence one pint of blood has. It reaches way beyond what most of us imagine," said Nick Pascuzzi.
He has four simple words to say to blood donors: "Just keep it up." Diagnosed in late 2002 with a rare condition called hypogammaglobulinemia, a type of primary immune deficiency, he requires weekly infusions of antibodies that are found in plasma, the liquid portion of blood. Hypogammaglobulinemia is caused by a lack of lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell), a condition that results in a low level of antibodies (called immunoglobulins or Ig) in the blood. Immunoglobulins help the body recognize invaders (such as bacteria or viruses) and trigger an immune response that eliminates them.
Before he was diagnosed, Pascuzzi's antibodies weren't able to fight even simple infections. As a result, he had a history of sinus and upper respiratory infections that often left him too ill and fatigued to go to school. After the diagnosis in 2002, his doctor suggested that he stay home for three months to avoid contracting any new infections and to monitor his condition.
Things started to turn around after Pascuzzi's immunologist developed a treatment plan. He now gives himself one infusion per week of Ig beneath the skin of his abdomen to help him fight infections.
Just how effective has this treatment been for Pascuzzi? It took his body awhile to develop a tolerance to the infusions and minimize their side effects. He developed serum sickness following the first two Ig infusions, which were infused directly into his veins. To prevent this problem from recurring, his immunologist had him infuse the treatment subcutaneously, or under the skin of his abdomen.
The results have been remarkable. This year, if you want to ask Pascuzzi what activities he's involved in, you better take a seat. A high school senior now, he plays trumpet in his high school concert and jazz bands as well as concert orchestra and youth symphony. Outside of schoolwork and music, he is also the publicist for his high school Key Club, and he's been doing some public speaking to encourage people to donate blood. He helps with his high school workshop for student blood drive coordinators and speaks at schools across the state to raise awareness about the importance of blood donation. He is a member of the National Honor Society. He attended a four-week intensive Italian language camp in Bemidji for two summers and has been offered a position on staff at the language village in the summer following his senior year. And, on top of all that, he has begun looking at colleges. He feels great now, and all because of the blood product he receives.
A tragedy motivated Douglas Bloodgood to donate blood; his wife was diagnosed with cancer. While watching her undergo treatments, Doug saw firsthand the critical need for blood donors.
One in seven patients entering the hospital needs blood. Sick and injured adults and children need blood products for scheduled and emergency surgeries, cancer and leukemia treatments, trauma and burn care and the treatment of serious health conditions like anemia, sickle cell and heart disease.
While Bloodgood lost his wife, he is committed to helping other people obtain the blood products needed to survive. He donates 12 times a year — six whole blood donations and six platelet donations.
"It's easy and has become a habit, knowing that I can help save lives," he said.
He went on to say that donating blood is "simple, painless, and a small commitment of time. With appointments, my personal time is respected as is my privacy."
Blood donors can also donate just their platelets through a process called Pheresis. This involves drawing whole blood from the arm of a volunteer donor, removing the platelets through a high-tech spinning process and then returning the red cells and plasma to the donor.
Platelet donations through Pheresis are as safe and painless as a whole blood donation. The process takes a little longer than whole blood donation (up to two hours) since it takes extra time to separate and collect platelets from the other components of the blood. Platelets can be donated just three days after the whole blood donation and every two weeks, up to 24 times a year.
Volunteer donors must be at least 16 years old, weigh at least 110 pounds and be in good health. Donors 16 years of age must provide a Minor Donor Permit (found on our website at www.unitedbloodservices.org) signed by a parent or guardian. Donors age 16 to 22 must also meet height and weight requirements.
United Blood Services is located at 2020 W. Beauregard in San Angelo. Call 325-223-7500 for more information or go online to www.unitedbloodservices.org.

Iraq asks Anbar residents to 'take a stand'
- Uploaded by grimghost on Jan 23, 2014
- Views: 12
Iraq has called on the violence-hit Anbar Province's residents to "take a stand" against anti-government militants. Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's comments came on Wednesday as parts of Anbar's capital Ramadi and all of the city of Fallujah, also in the province, are still in the hands of militants. "I ask the people of the province -- the tribes, the notables, and all who live there -- to be ready to take a stand, to take serious action against those dirty people, without making any sacrifices," Maliki said in his weekly televised address. He added, referring to Fallujah, "It is time to finish this subject, and end the presence of gangs in this city, and save the people from their evil." Iraqi government forces launched a military operation on Sunday in an attempt to retake the key neighborhoods of Ramadi. The violence in Anbar broke out on December 30, 2013, when the army removed an anti-government protest camp in Ramadi. Authorities said the camp was used as "headquarters for the leadership of al-Qaeda." The bloodshed later spread to Fallujah and militants moved in and seized the city and parts of Ramadi. Maleki has blamed "diabolical" and "treacherous" Arab countries for the recent rise in violence in his country, saying, "Iraq is the target for some countries that are backing terrorism, and backing evil."

I read on AdAge about new research that suggests marketers are not spending their budgets wisely. Are we really getting worse or are we not attributing media spend properly? Do we focus on filling the funnel rather than moving people through it?
The big 'elephant in the room' on this debate was that marketers are not spending enough on social media. In addition, the popularity of online display ads has inundated the market so much that their value is flat and/or declining. Yet we still do more of the latter and not enough of the former.
Recommended for YouWebcast: Sales and Marketing Alignment: 7 Steps To Implement Effective Sales Enablement
I want you to consider for a moment the phrase 'there is a time and a place for everything' as we think about traditional vs. digital media and how we connect and engage with our prospects throughout their journey to become a customer.
Chris Gorell Barnes states 'Marketers must stop considering each element of their advertising campaign, and budgets, in silos and start to consider the entire customer journey and the best medium to engage with them, whether that's social media or video.'
Regardless of B2B or B2C, social media has a place in the funnel. You need to determine where your customer is in the process when they engage with your brand via these channels. That should map your strategy and allocation of budget to proceed. Whether they are in the discovery phase or the decision phase, you need to run some analysis and determine where buyers are when they are spending time with your brand on social media.
Same goes for display or traditional media. I have typically seen these effective in 2 ways. The first is to position your brand in front of people who are at various stages – hey, remember us, click here. And the second is to re-target prospects who took an action at one time however you haven't seen them in awhile.
Sit with your sales team and map out the customer journey. Similar to how we think about the types of content we use at various stages (whitepapers early on, datasheets and product demos later), consider the media you would use to reach people in various stages. The way you reach a cold prospect and the type of conversation you have may be entirely different than how you place your brand in front of someone who is heavily considering you.
